I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch

In the midst of contemplation, fireworks rose outside the thin paper windows.

This separate courtyard was situated on a cloud boat, offering a full view of the palace city below.

Within Sparrow God Mountain, it wasn't heavily guarded, with a large population residing there. Aside from the three large families of Science, Thunder, and Gold, there were hundreds of smaller tribes within Golden Sparrow Flower.

Anyone who made a certain level of contribution was qualified to reside in Sparrow God Mountain. After over a thousand years of development, a world unto itself had formed within the Mountain Realm.

While this world boasted many grand Spirit Science buildings, overall, it leaned towards the classical style. Lanterns were hung high, children chased and played, and the air was thick with the festivity.

There was absolutely no tension of wartime.

Xia Feng used the Eye of Decompilation to look far and wide, quickly gleaning some information.

Burning Heaven had suddenly called a truce and withdrawn, claiming today is the 'Heavenly Emperor Festival' of the Burning Heaven Temple, and they must celebrate, not engage in warfare.

It's quite ridiculous.

Who ever stops midway through a war to celebrate a festival?

Xia Feng stood outside the window, pondering this while gazing at the bustling below, feeling a bit dazed.

He remembered, today is... January 1st.

New Year, this world's Spring Festival is called the 'New Year Festival', such a distant term. Clearly, only a year and a half as a fugitive, Xia Feng felt it had been years since he last celebrated a New Year.

"Master, what are they doing?" Yue Hongli stood by the window, her beautiful eyes curious as she looked down.

"Celebrating New Year."

"Oh, so this is celebrating New Year."

Yue Hongli nodded. She had read about this term in books, but now she looked at Xia Feng, "Master, I don't understand."

"What don't you understand?" Xia Feng raised an eyebrow, expecting the airhead to start her barrage of questions again.

The woman in the red dress, puzzled, asked seriously, "Why are carbon-based lifeforms so happy because their planet orbited once?"

"....."

Alright, that's a pretty deep question, but I don't want to answer! Xia Feng leaned back lazily on his chair, letting his thoughts drift.

Looking at the current situation, with the 'help' of the major powers, acquiring the Unsealing Spiritual Materials from the Sealed Land really wasn't too difficult.

Among the Unsealing Spiritual Materials, Level 6 requires forty-nine paths, Level 7 requires twelve, with the 'Heart-Eroding Remains', 'Cosmic Star Core', 'Heart-cutting Tree Fruit', and 'Luoxiu's Nightmare Eye' being the hardest to obtain.

However, after the first round of negotiations, Golden Sparrow managed to provide the 'Heart-cutting Tree Fruit' and 'Luoxiu's Nightmare Eye', Yama Army provided the 'Cosmic Star Core' and 'Heart-Eroding Remains', and with the generous contribution from the Great Sin Army, the needed twelve Level 7 Spiritual Materials for unsealing were immediately gathered.

As for Level 6 Spiritual Materials, Xia Feng didn't even need to provide a list; they were easily put together.

And for Level 8 Spiritual Materials, the Yama Army provided the True Divine Bone and a Divine Spirit.

The Just Church provided two Divine Spirits.

The Elemental Church offered 'Ksitigarbha Glaze'.

Thus, all three Level 8 Spiritual Materials were similarly gathered.

One must admit, these superpowers really had deep reserves. If Xia Feng were to collect these rare spiritual materials himself, who knows how much effort it would take.

In this way, aiding Evil Dragon Miss in unsealing, only Dubhe remained.

Compared to rare spiritual materials, Dubhe was the real hassle.

"Master, you're being rude." The girl in the red skirt bent down, her fox-like face approaching Xia Feng. Her rose-red eyes were cold, yet exuded a heart-stirring natural allure.

"Answer my question."

As their breaths intertwined, Xia Feng's heart skipped a beat, his pupils contracted; he couldn't suppress the dry mouth and tongue, his brow lightly furrowed.

He had long noticed that as his empathy with Hua God increased, Yue Hongli's innate allure became more pronounced. Just looking at her figure, one could see her seductive nature, tempting with the curve of her hips.

Now, her mere presence close to him, coupled with a downward glance, evoked an uncontrollable reaction from him.

Isn't it ridiculous? Could this be Guihua's passive skill?

Yue Hongli also noticed the master's anomaly. Her cool gaze lowered slightly upon noticing his towering pants column, and she was taken aback.

Xia Feng, expression unchanged and unfazed, casually explained, "The reason for happiness is perhaps celebrating that the planet's orbit didn't skew and they survived another year."

"Oh." Yue Hongli's eyes sparkled, understanding like learning new knowledge, though her alluring rose-red eyes stayed fixed on the high pants column, "Master, is this how you celebrate New Year?"

"....."

Though her tone was cold, Xia Feng inexplicably sensed a hint of mockery,

But this was Yue Hongli's usual style, her 37-degree mouth always managed to say something that struck the core.

Used to it, Xia Feng glanced at the beautiful fox-like face near him, and sighed deeply. Thankfully, he had seen Miss Mu's ultimate beauty; otherwise, it would be really hard to restrain the current desire.

"Indeed, this is the celebration during the New Year." Xia Feng said seriously, "So Little Li, you too should celebrate, to cheer your master up."

Yue Hongli's beautiful eyes blinked, head tilting: "I have to too?"

"Naturally!" Xia Feng stated righteously, his black eyes shining. Though restrained, it didn't stop him from indulging in some internal mischief and evil fun.

Yue Hongli, however, shook her head, stood up, and looked down, "Master, I'm not an airhead anymore."

She raised her chin, the red tuft atop her head swaying, and she eyed Xia Feng, "I am Guihua Star Lord, evil among the gods. Do you truly think I, this little human master, understand nothing?"

"?" Xia Feng tilted his head. Not you, why have you suddenly become so arrogant?

Also, human little master, what a strange title?

Yet, it seemed that Yue Hongli indeed had grown smarter; her once expressionless, cold face was now more alive.

A year and a half ago, Yue Hongli was still a clueless airhead. Now she knew a lot more and recalled past events, no longer easily fooled.

Too bad he hadn't yet taught her that to make her master happy, she should bark. Xia Feng mused to himself.

Before Xia Feng could continue speaking, Yue Hongli took half a step back, lifted her long white leg, and placed the sole of her foot directly on Xia Feng's knee, her toenails vividly red.

Xia Feng's eyes widened, his head stiffening upward: "??"

The fox-like face above him, eyes disdainful, spoke coldly, "Master, are you happy now?"

"....."

Seeing Xia Feng's silence, expressionless, Yue Hongli tilted the rose-red tuft on her head, her brow furrowing slightly, "I saw that when the lady made you happy, this is what she did."

"!!!"

Xia Feng decided to rescind his previous statement; this airhead hadn't gotten smarter at all! If anything, she deserved a good scolding! When had Xia Feng ever been happy about such things? This idiot woman's observational skills were terrible, her learning ability even worse! Guihua Star Lord, my ass!

"What, Master, you're not happy?" Yue Hongli, imitating a memory of Miss Mu's actions, pressed her foot down and ground it slightly, asking in a bland voice.
