Chapter 38: 31. Give the Lord a surpriseWatching the group's departing figures, Mushroom let out a sigh of relief, but her small face immediately filled with worry as she looked towards Xia Feng. "Feng, his Spiritual Artifact is known to be invincible among his peers... the Forest Wand. Are you really going to fight him?" Xia Feng was somewhat distracted, frowning as he stared at the bright moon beneath the night sky. Ping Mountain... The pocket watch hanging from Yan Xujia's chest was indeed engraved with the words 'Ping Mountain', which gave him a very strange feeling. He always felt... that the very realistic dream from a few days ago seemed to be guiding him towards something. As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat. But he wouldn't be able to stop scratching the itch in his heart until he figured out what the "unborn wife" was all about. "It's annoying," Xia Feng muttered. "Hey! Are you even listening to me?" Mushroom puffed up with anger and gave Xia Feng's cheek a tap. Xia Feng casually pushed her small hand away: "Haven't you eaten yet?" Gurgle~~ As soon as he spoke, Mushroom's small stomach chimed in for her. She paused, then in a low voice said, "I... I'm actually okay, I wanted to wait for you to come back. But Blue was starving, so I ordered her some delivery, but I didn't expect Blue would insist on going out to find something to eat, then just—just..." As she spoke, the emotions she had been suppressing suddenly broke free, and her small pearls of tears couldn't be stopped from falling, turning her eyes red, "I'm sorry! If I hadn't gone out, I wouldn't have had a conflict with Yan Xujia, and you wouldn't have to duel him." "Tsk tsk, who would've thought that the great Miss Mushroom would look quite cute when crying~" Xia Feng stroked his chin, nodding with amusement, "Cry some more, I love to watch~" The girl in her little bear pajamas suddenly stopped crying— She was teased into wanting to laugh subconsciously, but her voice still sounded like crying, and the large pearls of tears continued to slide down her cheeks, no matter how she wiped them. Annoyed, she slapped Xia Feng's shoulder to speak, but it was as if there was a pebble stuck in her throat, "You—you—" This was probably a case of tear incontinence; when her emotions ran high, she couldn't control herself, often having words stuck in her throat and unable to express them, which frustrated her to the point of stomping her feet. "Alright, alright~" Xia Feng patted her little head, "Let's go, you must be hungry too, I'll cook for you." "Blue, follow along." Xia Feng snapped his fingers. The quiet Persian cat sitting under the street lamp stood up, shook its fur, and followed the man's steps with a proud cat walk. seaʀᴄh thё NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Mushroom was taken aback for a moment, then quickly followed. It took her a long time to calm her emotions and dry her tears, sitting at the dining table her voice returned to steady, "Feng, I'm serious, Yan Xujia is not easy to deal with." "Rest assured, he has the Forest Wand, but my Spiritual Artifact is not so easy to deal with either," Xia Feng replied as he placed a fruit salad in front of Blue and turned to explain. "Oh... Huh?" Mushroom was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses, her eyes widening in disbelief, "Your Spiritual Energy has been unsealed?" "Yeah." Xia Feng didn't intend to play dumb in front of Mushroom, to prevent her from worrying. Hearing this, Mushroom was still a bit shocked; she knew how slim the chances of unsealing Spiritual Energy were, and it was even rarer for someone to unseal it at just eighteen years old. And seeing Xia Feng's confidence, she guessed that his Spiritual Artifact must not be of a low level. Although Mushroom still had trouble imagining how Xia Feng could possibly win against Yan Xujia, she didn't ask any further about the specific abilities of the Spiritual Artifact. After all, that was private. In fact, one of the reasons Xia Feng initiated the bet was for Yan Xujia's Spiritual Artifact; Yan Xujia had built a reputation for invincibility in his peer group relying on that Spiritual Artifact—the Forest Wand. Such a famous Spiritual Artifact, it would be a shame not to copy it and have some fun with it, Xia Feng mused inwardly. Seeing Xia Feng's confidence, Mushroom eased up a bit and said softly, "Then, okay, if you need my help with anything, just tell me." "Hmm, there actually is one thing." "What?" Mushroom's eyes lit up, eager to be of assistance. Several days ago, Xia Feng had made 240,000, paid off the loan, paid the rent, and bought some summoning materials, leaving him with only 110,000. The academy's Justice Duel did not restrict external help, as long as it wasn't with the power of the Evil God, so it wouldn't count as a rule violation. Therefore, he decided to buy an Unsolvable Stone that could temporarily enhance his Spiritual Artifact, just in case. But with the Unsolvable Stone's market price at 200,000, it was another staggering price for someone as poor as him. However, fortunately, he knew quite a few wealthy women... Xia Feng thought for a moment and then stated a figure, "Lend me 100,000." Swipe— Pulling out a chair, the girl in her little bear pajamas clattered in her slippers running towards the bedroom. After a flurry of sounds, she emerged with slightly messy curly hair. Thump— A black gold card was slapped down on the dining table. Mushroom stood in front of Xia Feng, chin held high with a proud smile, "One million, use as you wish!" "..." This scene, why did it seem so familiar? * Temple. Moon Dew Flower Pond. The woman dressed in a snow-white gown and wearing a beret stood in the center of the pond. The water in the pond levitated, swirling around her and gradually vaporized into starlit streamers, which flowed into her palm. Using the star fragments as ink, she drew letters in the air, listing complex and arcane programs. As time passed, more and more programs surrounded the eight directions of the world, like a vast array of stars. Until at a certain moment, Cha Naixue suddenly stopped writing, her delicate brows slightly knitted as she sighed softly. The S-level Spiritual Clothes known as the 'Moon God Domain' were indeed the most difficult Spiritual Clothes she had encountered so far. Even with the aid of the Moon Dew Flower Pond to help her perceive them, progress was still slow. After studying for several months, she was still stuck on the basic structure of Spiritual Particles, let alone the complicated formulas to come afterwards. Put simply, the progress was stuck at 1%. She knew that these things couldn't be rushed, after all, the basic structure would eventually break through with enough time, but a Quasi Saintess in the Northern Territory had successfully made her breakthrough a few days ago.
