NOVEL NEXT Chapter 985: K-Masked Man, You're Dead!
K Masked Person....
Her charming cold face froze momentarily, but beneath the wooden hairpin-bundled strands, the icy gentle gaze of her beautiful eyes remained unchanged.
However, immediately after, as the man's large hand slowly moved upward on her lower back, leisurely drawing her closer, her pupils suddenly contracted!
K Masked Person!!!
The man's breath was in the strands near her ear, and Ke Yanqing's entire body trembled, with goosebumps rising from the nape of her neck.
As the eldest Miss of the Ke Family, the undisputed leader of the Eighth Generation, she regarded the seat of the Twelve Seated as disposable and considered the position of maid equally within her grasp. Inevitably, at twenty-one, she gained her mother's favor, rising swiftly to become one of the three principal maids.
Usually projecting a peaceful demeanor, yet in her heart, Ke Yanqing was always filled with unparalleled pride. She deemed her body and soul pure as a saint, refusing to allow even a speck of defilement upon herself, especially from those.... ignorant commoners!
But over a year ago, that revolting man wearing the K mask humiliated her blatantly in front of Viss, both secretly and openly.
This was the first time she harbored such hatred towards a person.
The strict upbringing of the Ke Family's Golden Sparrow lineage instilled in Ke Yanqing from a young age that family honor trumped life and death; for the sake of family interests and Mother's honor, life and death could be set aside.
Ke Yanqing realized from that point she must capture the K Masked Person! Make that foolish and ignorant K Masked Person suffer through endless tortures! Then.... tear him to pieces!
Only then could she quell her inner hatred!
"Hmm?" Xia Feng's large hand suddenly landed on her flagged skirt's shapely rear, pushing slightly, inquiring, "Sister Qing, what's wrong? Your body is so tense."
Her spine electric with shock, Ke Yanqing's pupils widened, raising her gaze to see the face of the young man before her seemingly cloaked in that wicked K mask, the crooked wicked smile running wild beneath the mask.
She abruptly lowered her gaze again, burying her alluring cold face back into Xia Feng's neck, not daring to let the K Masked Person detect any abnormality.
Her tone even, almost gentle: "It's nothing, Sister Qing just.... wants to hold you a bit tighter."
As she spoke, her icy gentle eyes suddenly turned cold, filled with hatred and murderous intent.
This maid vows, to kill you this.... bastard!!
"Is that so...." The large hand squeezed her skirt's fullness, the youth's apprehensive yet eager voice murmured beside her ear, "I thought Sister Qing you wanted more."
".....!!"
Ke Yanqing's mind buzzed; just a while ago, the image of herself kneeling on the ground, shaking her hips at Xia Feng this K Masked Person, directly hit her pupils, at that time she bit down hard on her wrist, the urgent voice of Viss rang from the red cord beside her lips.
And the scene of being lifted up by the K Masked Person, going mad in front of the mirror, all like a thunderstorm exploded into her captivating eyes.
"!!!"
K Masked Person.... Xia Feng! You're dead! You're dead!!
Legs tightening, she could even feel the lingering sensation from not long before.... Ke Yanqing's beautifully manicured hands gleamed sharply while embracing Xia Feng's back.
In the cold eyes buried in Xia Feng's neck, a fire of hatred burned more intensely than before.
Yet, just as she couldn't bear it and was about to act, the steady voice of Maiden Jin Xiangfeng, that old woman, echoed in her mind:
"Ke Maid, the Star Position Same Devouring Ceremony is about to begin. Remember, per Mother's instructions, you must ensure that boy voluntarily stays at the Cloud Platform center, not moving an inch, and making sure he doesn't realize the ceremony is actually a trap for him."
Ke Yanqing: ".....!!!"
Indeed, that was her task.
The array within Divine Hua Palace wasn't meant to assist Mother against the Heavenly Burning Saint Master.
But was targeted at Xia Feng's Star Devouring Ceremony!
It was shortly after Calamity had descended, Mother suddenly gathered us three maids, assigning each an urgent task, with one being the most dangerous.
...
"Yanqing, the task you undertake requires you to be prepared to sacrifice everything; your body and mind may suffer unprecedented torment. If unwilling, it's not mandatory. I can choose another plan, appointing 'Mrs. An' to execute this task."
Those were Mother's exact words.
But Ke Yanqing had long devoted all her faith to Mother. She believed there was nothing she could not endure for Mother.
Thus, in her overconfidence back then.... she confidently accepted the task.
"Very well, Yanqing, the specific content of this task won't be revealed to you for now. You will come to know later. As for what follows, you needn't do anything; first, go see the Abyss Saint for a conversation about the deal."
"Yes, Mother." Ke Yanqing departed without doubt, soon leaving to the Hidden God Pavilion to claim the reward for her previous mission, an Epic Divine Relic·Lunde's Heart, then she exited Sparrow God Mountain.
... And after that, she brought back her younger brother Ko Nan to Sparrow God Mountain, realizing through Ko Zelrek's detection array that Ko Nan was not her brother, her mindset twisted, she used Lunde's Heart on him.
Later, completing the trade with the Abyss Saint, she returned once more to Sparrow God Mountain.
At that point, Jin Xiangfeng informed her that Mother intended to conduct the Star Devouring Ceremony and instructed her, after the Abyss Saint eradicated the Heavenly Gifted Poison, to bring all clan members into Divine Hua Palace.
The Star Devouring Ceremony was a ritual Mother had prepared for over a thousand years; every Golden Sparrow Clan member needed to memorize the ceremony's magic technique, ready to activate it at any moment.
Ke Yanqing never expected Mother's plan to be of such significance.
And upon entering Divine Hua Palace, Mother finally transmitted the complete plan into her mind as a bundle of information.
Ordering her to bring Ko Nan to the Cloud Platform, the very center of the Star Devouring Ceremony.
Thoughts rushed wildly, as she straddled with Xia Feng pulling her further inward, her legs parted even more.
Her face buried against Xia Feng's neck remained cold and indifferent, but in the end, the hatred and murderous intent in her eyes faded away.
"Sister Qing, I feel a bit discomforted," the youth in the wheelchair whispered in her ear, "since the Disaster Poison is removed, shall we go home?"
Ke Yanqing was momentarily stunned, the youth's cheek pressed against her ear neck seemed to enjoy her warm embrace.
She then recalled, this Xia Feng, this K Masked Person! Having his memory common sense altered by Lunde's Heart, truly mistook her for his sister!
Thinking of this, she was even more bewildered, her mind buzzing loudly.
Yet she paused for two seconds, then suddenly awoke; so what if he truly considered her a sister! This still couldn't change the reality that this lowly man was the K Masked Person!
Only Viss was her true good brother!
K Masked Person.... huh~ Ke Yanqing's heart chilled further, thinking positively now, she unexpectedly found the current situation not entirely unacceptable; she would witness with her own eyes the K Masked Person losing the supreme treasure to Mother, witnessing the K Masked Person's unwillingness and death!
And she, Miss Ke, would be the one to deliver the first fatal blow during the K Masked Person's painful demise!
Thinking of this, she subtly curled her lips, whispering warmly at Xia Feng's ear, "Mother is still contending with the Heavenly Burning Saint Master, how can we leave prematurely?"
Speaking so, she gently touched Xia Feng's hair, her gaze severe, yet her tone was soft and gentle, "Be good, alright~"
