Chapter 153 - 136. Green Bone Glass

Red Eyes closed their eyes and disappeared. Hiding in the shadows, Xia Feng’s gaze shifted to the red-robed man gasping for breath on the ground. The mysterious man was wearing a Blood Eye mask. He took off the mask, vomited black blood, and trembled, still seemingly in fear. Only then Xia Feng realized that this was a pale-faced young man with lip piercings, who looked quite ruffianly handsome. Apart from this time, Xia Feng had seen the guy twice before; the first time was at the outskirts of the Calamity Realm of Anubis, the second just recently, judging by the mask’s emblem, he should be a member of the Burning Heaven Temple. Sёarch* The NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Moreover, he was followed by Scarlet Eyes, a frightening creature of at least Six-Eyed Level, suggesting a significant status with such a protector. Xia Feng, still hidden, flickered with a murderous intent, contemplating the feasibility of killing the man and assuming his identity. However, after a second thought, he decided to hold off his plan and just observe. Geng Gui lay on the ground, sweating profusely, and it took him a while before he recovered. He put the mask back on and murmured with a sigh, "Bad luck, bad luck, I must have a clash with Peach Organization, always trouble when I meet them!" As he said that, he staggered to his feet and ran to a red apricot tree behind the right side of the notice board. The Blood Eye on the mask lit up as he targeted the center of the tree trunk, with raspy urgency he said, "Hey hey hey! Anyone there? I’m out of Spiritual Pressure, someone open the door, quick!" After speaking, he collapsed weakly against the tree trunk, out of strength. After about four or five seconds, a red glowing portal appeared next to the red apricot tree, and a woman in a white backless dress and a sun hat, wearing high heels, stepped out of the portal. She wore sunglasses, looked down slightly, and in a cold, seductive voice asked, "Geng Gui, this is the second time. Tell me, what happened this time?" "Mr. Cang," Geng Gui leaned against the tree, his voice weak, "The orphanage, the orphanage got bombed." "Huh?" The woman seemed slightly confused, "Be more specific." Geng Gui’s voice was hoarse, "Yuanhe Orphanage was destroyed by Divine Relics, and Sky God is dead. I escaped under Scarlet’s protection, but Scarlet fell into a deep slumber because of it." "..." Geng Gui’s words left the woman speechlessly silence. She frowned tightly, "Geng Gui, are you sure you weren’t affected by an Illusion Technique? That’s a Seven-Eyed Calamity Realm!" "I am very sober, Mr. Cang. You should hurry and report to the Garden Master, the supply site has been destroyed, this might affect the Garden Master’s plans." "Do you know who did it?" Geng Gui swallowed, still visibly shaken, "Yes, it was two new members of the Peach Organization." "???" Mr. Cang’s breath hitched, "Peach again?" Her eyes narrowed slightly, her seductive voice turning icy, "It seems this organization has targeted us." After a moment of silence, she shook her head solemnly, "Well, I’ll tell the Garden Master about this. Are you able to move? We need you to capture someone." "Capture someone?" Geng Gui puzzled, "Was there not strict scrutiny recently? With Military Department people coming to Zone 51, weren’t we holding off on captures?" "We’re not capturing a noble lady this time, but a student named Xia Feng." "Xia Feng? That name sounds familiar..." "Mu Qingtong’s fiancé, the youngest genius of Weiyang Academy." Mr. Cang chuckled lightly, "Someone inside is very interested in this genius. So, can you move?" Geng Gui leaned his head against the tree, listlessly, "Mr. Cang, with such a minor task, please send someone else. I’d like to rest a while." "Alright." The woman didn’t insist. She snapped her fingers lightly, and a stooped woman wearing a Blood Eye mask stepped out of the portal behind her. "Granny Ding, you go." "Yes," the stooped woman responded in a raspy voice. Then, Geng Gui and Mr. Cang entered the portal, and the shadowy path returned to silence. Xia Feng glanced at the slowly retreating figure of the stooped woman and then turned back to look at the blood-colored ’No Trespassing’ sign. After a moment of thought, he quickly headed home. * Just as Granny Ding reached the bottom of Xia Feng’s apartment building, preparing to check if the college student was at home, she encountered a familiar figure coming towards her. She walked up with her cane and showed a kind smile, "Child, do you want to earn some money?" Xia Feng paused, blinking, "Yes." "I have a good place to earn money, twenty thousand a month," Granny Ding said, her lips curling into an eerie smile, "Are you interested?" "Really?" Xia Feng’s eyes lit up, "Let’s go, let’s go. Granny, quickly take me there. I’ve really been wanting to earn money." "?" Granny Ding’s eerie smile froze, not expecting such an easy agreement to an obviously suspicious offer. Seeing that Granny Ding didn’t move, Xia Feng’s face showed pure bewilderment, "What’s wrong, Granny? Let’s go. By the way, where will I be working, and what will I do?" "..." As Xia Feng’s expression seemed genuinely naïve, Granny Ding internally shook her head, lamenting how gullible college students were these days. But it was also good, sparing her from making a move. She grinned kindly, "You’ll be working as a waiter in a beautiful garden, it’s very easy, come with me." Xia Feng followed Granny Ding back to the restricted area. "Granny, this seems like a military area," Xia Feng exclaimed, seemingly naïve. "No worries, your service targets are those big shots." Granny Ding grinned, her palm lighting up with a Blood Eye rune, pressing it into a groove on the tree trunk. Then she patted Xia Feng’s shoulder and moved forward. Xia Feng felt as if he had passed through some kind of Barrier, the scene of the Dark Forest fading away. Suddenly, he was surrounded by an endless sea of blue flowers, with a pleasant breeze caressing his face, refreshing and delightful. But Xia Feng frowned, clearly feeling the circulation of Spiritual Pressure was blocked inside his body, unable to form Spiritual Clothes, as for Spiritual Artifacts... the Spiritual Artifacts were unaffected. "In the Forbidden Spirit Domain, both Spiritual Clothes and Spiritual Artifacts will be unusable, so that those big shots can play here with peace of mind." Granny Ding’s cloudy eyes flashed with a strange light, glancing at Xia Feng, "Don’t worry, there’s no danger. Just follow Granny." Xia Feng followed Granny Ding, curiously observing his surroundings. Although he could no longer use Spiritual Clothes, it wasn’t a big issue. After all, he possessed a power of the Seven-Eyed Level Calamity Realm; unless a deity descended, he feared no one. Anyone who provoked him would face immediate Calamity Realm, dragging all enemies into his world to torture them to death. Passing rows of flower beds, Xia Feng looked around at the mysterious blue flowers that nearly reached his knees. These flowers were translucent like glass, their stamens twinkling with a clear blue glow; as they swayed with the breeze, Xia Feng faintly heard a tinkling sound, like a Goddess playing celestial tunes by the Milky Way, pleasing to the ears. It eased all of one’s weary thoughts. "These flowers seem quite special?" questioned Xia Feng. "This is Green Bone Glass," Granny Ding responded cheerfully, walking briskly forward. Green Bone Glass? The name sounds nice, Xia Feng nodded, "And then?" "Don’t ask too much, just keep up, and don’t step on these flowers." Xia Feng followed Granny Ding through a huge semi-circular arch filled with Green Bone Glass. A flash of light passed, and he felt a warm sensation on his forehead, where a faint pink vertical mark appeared. "This is your credentials as a waiter here." Granny Ding turned her head, grinning, "When others see this mark, they’ll know you’re a waiter here." "Oh, is that so..." Xia Feng said innocently, "That really is convenient." "Click—" On either side of the giant gate, there were rows of nearly transparent doors. One of the doors suddenly opened, and Mr. Cang, dressed in a white dress, stepped out, pausing upon seeing them, and after looking Xia Feng up and down a few times, her eyes lightly curved, "He’s back, but it’s not yet opening time, so just take him to room 109." "Yes!" Granny Ding respectfully bowed, and then continued to walk with Xia Feng for quite a while before opening another door. The room inside was decorated like a five-star hotel, very luxurious and spacious. Xia Feng approached the bed, but suddenly, the door behind him banged shut. Xia Feng turned around, puzzled. Only to see the old lady staring at him with a slightly twisted smile, her wrinkly hands trembling. Then, under Xia Feng’s bewildered gaze, she shakily began to remove her outer garment... "???" Perhaps Granny Ding was afraid I might be cold, intending to offer me a jacket? Xia Feng noted that there were still good people in this sinister organization. But why, it seemed, was she planning to remove her trousers too? Xia Feng, struggling to maintain politeness, asked, "Uh, Granny Ding, what are you doing?" "Fucking you!" Granny Ding’s lips twisted malevolently, leering lasciviously. "..." As someone who remained unshaken when facing life’s adversities, Xia Feng had seen it all before; this was a minor issue. Yes, a minor issue! He took a step back, ready to say something to diffuse the situation. However, Granny Ding suddenly leaped into the air, lunging toward him, "Hee hee hee~ Come to Granny’s arms, you little man~" Xia Feng quickly dodged to the side, wanting to curse—this wasn’t quite the infiltration plan he had in mind. Granny Ding seemed mad with lust, continuing her charge at him with crazed laughter. Dammit, what the hell! Xia Feng’s expression darkened, no longer caring about blowing his cover, and punched Granny Ding in the face. Granny Ding screamed, her shadow overlapping with another; her spiritual power was not high, and a Blood Beast instantly devoured her, as her terrified and clueless eyes watched her body merge into the shadow on the floor. "Click—" The Blood Eye θ mask fell, which Xia Feng instinctively caught. Simultaneously, a soft, haunting whisper entered his mind. "Little Feng..." It was a voice buried deep in his memory, very familiar to that of a woman.
