I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch
Chapter 647 - 647: 615. A Different Ms. Fu

"Boom—boom—boom—!"

Heavy boots struck the floor, producing a dull echo within the grand hall.

What had been a leisurely and soothing piano melody and the chatter of light conversation stopped abruptly, as everyone's gaze focused intently on the Apocalypse Knight, Shi Qi.

In three, two, one bites, Shi Qi had devoured the two apple-sized fruits in his hands, twisted his neck left and right, and continued to stride closer to Xia Feng.

At first, Xia Feng thought it might be a coincidence, but as the figure drew closer, he became certain.

This guy was coming for him!

Why?

Had he been exposed?

"Buzz—!!"

With a step that seemed to teleport through space, before Xia Feng could even process the sight or marshal his thoughts, the Apocalypse Knight had already appeared before him, silver helmet agape revealing shark-like teeth, and scarlet eyes looking down from above.

Xia Feng instantly felt an immense pressure bearing down on him, his pupils narrowed slightly—this was…the Venerable Five Saint Realm!

Caught off guard by this terrifying crisis, he was ready to activate the Spatial Red Rope at any moment to teleport out of the Sky Fortress.

But just then,

"Lord Shi Qi, this man is a scion of the Ye Li Royal Family."

Footsteps from high heels clicked steadily from behind him.

Xia Feng glanced over and saw a tall woman with jet-black hair cut in a princess style and phoenix eyes etched with the cold and exquisite character for "Sword."

Xia Feng guessed this woman must be Sword Heart, the leader of the Six Guards and the most trusted by Lord Yeli Dong.

Sword Heart looked calmly at the Apocalypse Knight and respectfully dipped her head, "If Your Excellency truly can't suppress the urge to kill, you may proceed to the training hall. There are Blood Soldiers prepared especially for Your Excellency to slake your thirst for blood."

Seeing this, Xia Feng recalled the data that suggested the legendary Shi Qi had a strong desire for bloodshed, feeling uncomfortable if he didn't kill someone every day.

He had thought it was just an exaggeration, but now it seemed to be no falsehood.

Shi Qi glanced at the youth protected behind Sword Heart with curiosity, wondering why she would intervene.

In fact, he wasn't looking to kill the young man to satisfy his uncontrollable bloodlust. Instead, he had detected the fragrant scent of blood on the youth.

Craving blood, he was naturally sensitive to the scent of blood, and thus he was intrigued by this young man who could stir his desire for blood from such a distance.

He wanted to peel off the youth's skin and taste the flavor of his veins.

Unfortunately, this youth was no ordinary person—he had a certain status within the Ye Li Royal Family, otherwise Sword Heart would not have appeared so promptly to protect him.

As an Apocalypse Knight, he wouldn't abuse his power for personal reasons; he nodded, turned, and walked away with a raspy, cold voice,

"Bring another pile of apples."

Seeing this, Sword Heart secretly breathed a sigh of relief, her cold gaze briefly flitting over the servant who was still in shock.

The servant hurried off to find apples.

Watching Shi Qi leave, Sword Heart mused on why this Apocalypse Knight had suddenly appeared in Litian City, prompting Mr. Dongjun to reluctantly invite him to the banquet.

It was well known that Apocalypse Knights were like natural disasters; if they wanted to kill, they didn't care how high your status or how powerful you were—they would end you with a single strike.

And they wouldn't face any censure from the Central Court Council for it.

Fortunately, beyond his enormous appetite—having consumed nearly ten thousand apples—this Apocalypse Knight had not done anything too strange.

It seemed he was genuinely just hungry and had come to the Sky Fortress to rest.

While pondering, Sword Heart turned back and looked at Xia Feng, who stood still as a puppet, and commanded with a faint voice, "Follow. Mr. Dongjun requests your presence."

Xia Feng followed without changing his expression.

At that moment, in the grand hall, all the guests seemed to sense something and looked up.

There, before the railing on the second floor, appeared a tall woman.

The woman was dressed in a scarlet fishtail evening gown, her similar-colored long hair was swept up high with a sparkling jade hairpin, revealing a snow-white, delicate, and sensual neck, her demeanor both elegant and noble.

Yet, the cold and resplendent red pupils gazing down bore an authoritative might distinct from that of a noble lady, infused with the natural essence of a higher-up.

"Lady Lei Ya," everyone bowed in unison and offered respectful greetings.

Among the many descendents of Great Lord Business, only Freya was held in high esteem by him, although Freya did not see things the same way, it did not prevent others from showing her utmost respect due to Great Lord Business's influence.

Hence, after Freya returned from Area 51, she entered the military, where her rank and authority surged, triumphing at every turn.

Freya cast a casual glance over the crowd below, giving Xia Feng nothing more than a cool look before turning away to ascend to the third floor.

Xia Feng, following Sword Heart, passed through layers of defense.

With Sword Heart's guidance, he breezed through formidable barriers, arriving at the second floor and continuing to follow Freya up the spiral staircase to even higher levels.

The higher they went, the stronger the defensive barriers became, and Xia Feng felt increasingly alarmed.

This place really is impregnable.

If someone tried to forcefully breach it through normal means, there would be no chance of success.

Soon, the three, under the watchful eyes of onlookers, arrived at the ninth floor.

Sword Heart pushed open the intricately carved silver doors, and a gentle and soothing scent of flowers greeted their noses; Xia Feng looked inside.

It was a pleasant garden like an earthly paradise.

On both sides of the pebble-strewn path there bloomed the holy white Zhi Zi flowers, diffusing a rich and refreshing fragrance.

Xia Feng was taken aback, he hadn't expected that Lord Yeli Dong might have such a leisurely and elegant taste, fond of Zhi Zi flowers...

Freya and Sword Heart walked ahead, with Xia Feng trailing behind the two women, quickly reaching the end of the pebble path.

The bright moonlight filtered through the windows, casting a spattering of stars within.

A young man with heterochromia sat in a wheelchair, his handsome profile slightly lifted, his different-colored eyes contemplating the starry night outside the window.

A subordinate stood at the side of the heterochromic young man, bowing respectfully as he reported:

"Mr. Dongjun, according to Spiritual Satellite surveillance, a Venerable is lurking on the outskirts of Sky Fortress; based on the images reconstructed from the Spiritual Force Field, this Venerable is wearing a peach-heart mask, most likely the mysterious person who rescued Xia Feng."

"!" Xia Feng's heart skipped a beat in surprise. This powerful, then? To have discovered even that!

It seemed that neither he nor Miss Mu had truly estimated the capabilities of this super fortress.

The subordinate continued, "Initial judgment suggests that since the Peach-faced Man has appeared here, Xia Feng is also likely nearby, still harboring the thieving intent towards Lady Leiy."

"....." Xia Feng glanced at the distance between himself and Lord Yeli Dong, 10 meters.

After listening to his subordinate's report, the public persona, Lord Yeli Dong, let out a light chuckle, well aware of why Xia Feng was so persistent, a wretched life spurred by folly in seeking revenge on him.

Pity.

No matter how much the Xia kid might struggle, in the end, he's but a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Merely an ant.

"Mr. Dongjun, should troops be sent to deal with the lurker outside the fortress and capture Xia Feng?"

"There's no need."

Lord Yeli Dong, propping up his chin, waved his hand lazily, his voice indifferent, "This kid is just an insignificant mouse. Tonight, I have far more pressing matters to attend to."

Once he completed the Dual Cultivation with Freya, acquiring the power of Dragon Transformation.

Dealing with that little mouse fond of hiding in the sewers could wait.
