Chapter 977: Miasma
Xia Feng wasn't sure of the specific methods Ke Yanqing employed, but it was certainly related to hypnosis.
Under normal circumstances, as long as Xia Feng's spiritual power wasn't too extraordinary, and in a highly relaxed environment, this kind of hypnosis could easily succeed.
But unfortunately, Xia Feng wasn't a normal person.
The barrier formed by Divine-level spiritual power swallowed the ethereal whispers, causing Ke Yanqing to be unsuccessful and suffer a backlash without her noticing.
Xia Feng pressed Ke Yanqing's wrist, his dark eyes serene, slowly leaning closer.
Ke Yanqing didn't resist at all, her empty eyes staring blankly, her red lips murmuring in response, "Because Sister suspects you're not my brother... you're fake..."
Goodness, she really found out.
Halfway through, Ke Yanqing's pupils suddenly contracted, looking in astonishment at the young man close to her, "You—"
She was startled, the various past memories with her younger brother becoming increasingly illusory, like a dream dissipating with a wave, and the person before her grew ever more unfamiliar.
The man's solid chest pressing against her, and the warmth of his breath near her, all felt extraordinarily strange.
Her memory suddenly became clear; she only had one brother, only Kovis as a brother!
This man before her really wasn't her brother! Startled, Ke Yanqing pressed her right hand against the man's shoulder, trying hard to push him away.
But somehow, she couldn't muster the strength, and the masked man continued pressing closer, his other large hand quietly wrapping around her waist, his thin lips nearly touching hers,
"Sister Qing, what are you saying? How am I not your brother?"
"!!!"
The unfamiliar man's aura directly caused her soft, beautiful eyes to dilate with a tremor, her throat inexplicably dry, as if some wild emotion could no longer be suppressed, about to devour her will.
Is he the brother?
He's not the brother...
He's the brother!
He's not... Who exactly is he?! Ke Yanqing trembled all over, her thighs tightly pressed together beneath the soaked flag skirt.
Xia Feng looked at the woman already in a daze, somewhat speechless, was she scared silly? He thought there were some impressive tricks there.
"Sister Qing, what's wrong?" Xia Feng continued to feign innocence, expressing concern.
However, before he could finish speaking, a glint of coldness flashed in Ke Yanqing's trembling and stunned beautiful eyes, her lips drawing into a slight smile without speaking.
"?" Xia Feng felt a jolt in his heart, looked down, and saw a strange array glowing on his well-defined chest muscles unknowingly.
That's... what Ke Yanqing inscribed during her unconscious movements across his chest earlier!
So this is your real method, Xia Feng understood within.
The water overflowing from the bathtub began swirling backward, gathering toward the array on Xia Feng's chest like a tornado, and in an instant, the array formed, creating dark red strange branches spreading across his body.
Xia Feng's pupils slightly contracted, as dense information emerged in his mind.
[You have been attacked by the Epic Divine Relic·Lunde's Heart—]
[This relic belongs to the authority of 'Muerwina Star God' ruling Lunde, replication failed!]
[The Curse of Lunde's Heart]
[You have been forcibly established in an ethical relationship: sibling bond with 'Ke Yanqing'—]
[Ke Yanqing is weaving memories for you—due to your existing 'false memories,' Ke Yanqing need not sacrifice/consume Divine power, she can automatically transform your false memories into real ones, eternally fixed!]
[You are forcibly inserted with a memory concept: outwardly, you are Ke Yanqing's brother, but in reality, you have become an obedient dog to her, extremely infatuated and captivated by her.]
"!!!"
Xia Feng felt a chill run down his spine, not understanding why she would make the false real instead of just ending him?
Luckily, he reacted swiftly, storing the forcibly inserted memory fragments into Dao Fruit.
[Dual Origin·Legend A·Throne Mechanism]
[Memory Fruit: You can store memory/inner voice into the 'Dual Origin Dao Fruit,' this memory/inner voice fragment will appear in another's Dao Fruit, available for extraction and knowledge by the other. Additionally, as long as one side survives, this ability can absolutely prevent any 'theft/erasure/replacement... memory' capability.]
Last time Miss Mu optimized the Throne Mechanism by combining the Sea of Memory Spirit Clothes with it.
Thus, Xia Feng was unafraid of any memory attacks, the curse of Lunde's Heart had no effect.
Of course, the act would continue, to see what the woman intended.
He looked puzzled, relaxing his grip slightly, his hands dropping down, murmuring in confusion, "Qing, Sister Qing...."
Appearing bewildered, not understanding what happened to himself.
Unexpectedly, it was successful. Ke Yanqing's eyes showed a faint surprise, but soon a shallow mocking smile crossed her lips.
However, more than that, was the uncontrollable wild emotion, bubbling in her eyes, wavy hair sticking to her lips as her delicate face flushed with a sickly redness, a gaze she'd never worn before, piercing straight at Xia Feng.
"....." Xia Feng's heart sank, is this woman....
"Little Nan, before Sister arrived, was there an assassin trying to kill you." Ke Yanqing's right hand brushed against Xia Feng's ear and neck, speaking softly.
Xia Feng froze for a moment, silently nodding, "Mm."
"Don't blame Viss, Viss also has some strange feelings for Sister Qing." Her red lips moved to Xia Feng's ear, lazily murmuring like a cat, "Some... emotions beyond sibling bonds."
Speaking softly, Ke Yanqing hugged the unfamiliar man before her even tighter.
Upon learning Ko Nan was likely under the Calamity Rules, a young unfamiliar man masquerading as her brother, she was indeed angry and horrified at first upon knowing, but then came an unprecedented... thrill!
In front of others, she appeared as a noble maid, only she knew she was actually a perverted sibling-obsessed.
Educated strictly from childhood by the Lunde norms, she knew some things were absolutely out of bounds.
Lunde restricted her, blood imprisoned her.
She had gotten used to these constraints, continually suppressing these negative emotions.
But now.... heaven sent down such a person with no blood relation as a 'fake brother'!
No matter the real identity of this fake brother, at least this day of brief interaction.... made her very satisfied.
As long as this person wasn't that stupid K-faced fool haunting her nightmares, making her sick!
Thus, she immediately decided to use the rules of Calamity to modify the memory concept of this unfamiliar man, to make false into real.
Consequently, the unfamiliar man truly believed he was her brother, while she remained clear-headed, fulfilling her inner sibling-obsession without violating Lunde.
How interesting.... Ke Yanqing's soft and beautiful eyes were filled with pathological radiance, her wet flag skirt dampened as her graceful figure grew hotter, thighs tightly pressed and occasionally shivering upward.
Xia Feng obviously noticed this as well, astonished by the woman's sudden feverish condition.
