Chapter 986: Intensification
Seeing Ke Yanqing's gentle demeanor, still immersed in the role, Xia Feng truly found it hard to maintain composure.
He was genuinely unable to judge whether this woman was part of Hua God's plan, or if she was deliberately keeping him here.
Thinking of this, he shook his head, his eyelids drooping as if somewhat drowsy, then pushed the wheelchair's rims with both hands, attempting to roll out of the center of the Cloud Platform by himself.
"Sister Qing, I'm really a bit sleepy, I'd like to go back to sleep..."
"....." Seeing Xia Feng disregard her and not obediently listen, Ke Yanqing frowned and swiftly held down Xia Feng's hands.
"Hmm?" Xia Feng queried in confusion, lifting his gaze, pausing as he felt somewhat uneasy, "Sister Qing, you...."
"Are you hiding something from me?"
As he spoke, he shook his head again, covering his forehead as his expression shifted, seemingly trying to recall something.
Ke Yanqing understood, the curse of Lunde's heart would translate Xia Feng's false memory of being her brother into reality, while automatically rationalizing his identity as a K-faced person.
But eventually, there would be many bugs; once aware of discrepancies, the memories would become jumbled.
Not allowing him a moment to think, Ke Yanqing pinned Xia Feng's wrist, forcibly pressing it to the wheelchair backrest, coldly ordering, "Look at me!"
Xia Feng raised his gaze, finally realizing this woman indeed had a task, intending to prevent him from leaving, this Cloud Platform was a trap, a center for some kind of array?
"Take off the mask for me!" Ke Yanqing continued coldly, leaving no room for doubt.
"....." Xia Feng's eye corner faintly twitched, yet he removed the mask, revealing his true face.
Ke Yanqing had seen Xia Feng's photos, and after comparing them to the memory of K, the facial shapes perfectly matched indeed.
Meeting eyes, Xia Feng frowned slightly, sighing helplessly, "Sister Qing, you.... if you want again....."
With the enemy before her, Ke Yanqing's pupils dilated, her body trembled as though conflicted over something, while Xia Feng simultaneously pushed the rims again, "You can go back with me, whatever you want to do, I'm all——mm~!"
Thin lips were suddenly covered, fragrant soft air collided from the red lips and delicate nose, the wheelchair youth's head leaned back.
Ke Yanqing embraced Xia Feng's neck, her cold beautiful eyes flashed with fleeting contempt and hatred,
yet as Xia Feng's hand climbed, he toyed with her in a manner identical to K-faced person's memory, her whole body began trembling uncontrollably, shaking like a sieve.
"Sister, Sister Qing, there are still many clan members outside, like this, is it really okay?"
However,
The foolish K-faced person looked up at her, with respect and fear, and suddenly discovered her craziness, an absurdity that made Ke Yanqing oddly feel a slight sense of pleasure, her face unprecedentedly warm.
"It's fine, why couldn't it be!" Her tone cold, yet her voice quaked, "I won't go back to do it, Sister Qing wants to do it now!"
Lowering her head.
Xia Feng: "....."
He couldn't help but think, for the sake of keeping me at the center of this Cloud Platform, you're truly going all out, Xia Feng thought sarcastically.
Initially only seventy to eighty percent suspected, but Ke Yanqing's madness convinced Xia Feng completely the three thousand Golden Sparrow Clan members' array down below was 100% targeting him.
If this hypothesis was correct, it meant Hua God knew from the start, perhaps even was watching him....
How much did Hua God actually know?
His three disguised identities, Ko Nan, K-faced person, Abyss Saint (Black Spade Man), the first two, Hua God definitely knew long ago.
As for Abyss Saint, from Hua God's belief in his ability to solve the Spiritual Artifact Disaster Poison, it's estimated that she also knew about this identity.
This was indeed strange, Xia Feng puzzled, not many knew about his specific Spiritual Artifact abilities, how did Hua God find out?
Or she might just know roughly? The information she received wasn't complete?
As he pondered this, he suddenly discovered his pants.... gone.
Xia Feng's black pupils widened, quickly surveying his surroundings, the mist on the Cloud Platform was faintly looming outward, below, densely packed Golden Sparrow Clan members crawled, mysterious divine chant buzzed, ceremonial light towered.
In a certain place at the front of the clan members' formation, Kovis crawled on the ground, as if sensing something, looked up, his gaze electric toward the Cloud Platform, brow deeply furrowed.
Xia Feng's legs felt heavy, his pupils contracted sharply, turning to meet Ke Yanqing's alluring red eye corners, the evil flame surged in her haunting beautiful gaze.
This woman.... is she truly mad?!
*
On the Painted Ink Land, three thousand Golden Sparrow Clan members formed a semicircular array, the Cloud Platform occupied the center directly above.
Besides the central Cloud Platform, at the other end of the missing semicircle, similarly, another Cloud Platform hovered in the ink sky.
There, two figures stood at the edge.
On the right was an elderly woman draped in a scarlet Divine Robe, her long eyebrows drooping, she was Maiden Jin Xiangfeng.
On the left was a black-haired girl dressed in a reddish-brown kimono, her hands crossed over her abdomen, her small pale face showed no expression, her features pristine like a doll, her lifeless eyes unmovingly staring at the Cloud Platform where Ke Yanqing was.
She was Maiden Hezi.
"How is it, has the Blood Erosion Cage been formed?" The elderly woman's voice rasped, turning her head to ask.
"It has formed."
The kimono-clad girl, like a doll, slowly turned her head, her voice mechanical and hollow, "But to ensure stability, Ke needs to continue bonding with that person, deepening the connection."
"Ah ah, Daddy is truly pitiful, being manipulated by you wicked women like this." Suddenly, a clear laugh resounded from behind.
The elderly woman glanced back, a blonde woman wearing a white lab coat, hands pocketed, approached slowly through the mist.
Her figure was tall, the slanted eyes on the white mask narrow, lightly curved in a smile, "By the way, don't play my Daddy to death, otherwise I will fight you fiercely."
Jin Xiangfeng frowned, "He belongs to Ke, and when it's over, Ke will certainly kill him."
"Oh, that I don't care." Kikyo Ayame's slanted eyes quietly stared at the elderly woman, speaking indifferently, "That was promised by your Mother.... promised to me. Guihua Authority goes to you, Xia Feng belongs to me."
Jin Xiangfeng's brow furrowed deeper.
"Alright, human, you don't need to worry." Kikyo Ayame spoke softly, "Your Mother desires Xia Feng dead beyond burial even more than Ke Yanqing does, but for the sake of Star Position Unification, she can endure more than Ke Yanqing."
Jin Xiangfeng couldn't help but be stunned, does Mother hate Xia Feng so much?
But thinking again makes sense, as Xia Feng, a mere mortal, has occupied the Guihua Authority for such a long time, this behavior itself is unforgivable.
Speaking this, Kikyo Ayame paused, looked up, "Your Mother calls me, I'll leave first."
She hardly stayed a moment longer before leaving the Cloud Platform, Jin Xiangfeng shook her head, she still hasn't really understood what the identity of this blonde masked woman is.
"She is related to Calamity." The eerie doll-like girl remarked.
"Calamity?" Jin Xiangfeng stunned again, puzzled, "Isn't Calamity aiding the Heavenly Burning Saint Master against Mother?"
