I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 190. What is kissing? Kissing is...
Xia Feng hid in the shadows and silently observed the Black Moon Church members in the distance. There were a total of 26 people. If they were divided by physical strength, there were 3 level 5 knights, 8 level 4 knights, and 15 level 3 knights.

Moreover, each of these knights possesses a magical artifact, and when used in combination, they can be incredibly formidable.

Xia Feng frowned deeply. With his current strength, he could only handle one level 5 knight at most, but two of them would be enough to beat him up.

It seems I need to find a way to collect the Holy Elixir first. Xia Feng looked up at the statue of the Holy Goddess at the end of the Milky Way.

In his perception, the holy liquid on the goddess's body was like a cloak covering her divine form, abundant and incredibly alluring.
Now, all it takes is a little getting closer to this goddess; getting 5 milliliters of holy liquid from her shouldn't be too difficult.
Xia Feng fell into deep thought. To get closer to the goddess, he had to use a magical artifact to absorb 10 meters of red mist first. Whoever finished absorbing it first would be granted the right to pay homage, enter the lunar space, and go to the goddess to obtain the Saintess's Mark.

So, it's obvious what's next: he just needs to wait for whoever finishes absorbing first, then copy their magical artifact and seize their right to an audience.

Judging from the current situation, those talented girls who came from afar are obviously just there to make up the numbers. The Black Moon Church's candidate for saintess was actually already reserved, and that girl named Ito Mi was the one in the distance.

I just don't understand why the Black Moon Church, which had already selected nuns to become prospective saintesses, would go through all this trouble to hold a selection competition.

But none of that mattered anymore. Xia Feng observed for a moment longer, then turned and left.

Ito Mi absorbed the red mist slowly, and it would take at least three or four more days. Xia Feng planned to take advantage of this time to plunder all the obsidian.

Each time his Vermilion Bird Demon Armor is reborn, it has a 30-minute temporary upgrade period, after which there is a 30-minute cooldown period.

He could only use Resurrection again after the cooldown period ended. That's why he would turn into a mushroom and hide to rest every thirty minutes before coming out to continue his hunt.

Three days passed quickly, and Xia Feng's collection of Water Stones soared to 24.

When he quietly returned to the vicinity of the Black Moon Knights, he found that the group of silver-armored knights were kneeling on one knee, their right palms pressed against their chests, respectfully bowing their heads to pray and worship the goddess at the end of the starry river.

This seems to be a worship ritual they have to perform every morning.

Knight Rek stood in the center of the knightly procession, head bowed, leading the morning prayers in a solemn, low voice:
"Praise be to our God, Lord of the night and the moon and stars, Goddess of holiness and purity. May your divine grace, like the morning sun and dew, illuminate our day, bringing us good fortune, peace, and health. May you hear our prayers and guide us on the right path."

As Knight Rek's prayer ended, the knights below chanted in unison, "Praise be to our god!"

"All glory in the world belongs to you, praise my god." After saying this, Knight Rek slowly opened his eyes.

Ito Miya, who had been kneeling respectfully, rose and continued to focus on absorbing the red mist.

"Master, are they praying?" Yue Hongli's figure quietly appeared beside Xia Feng, who was hiding in the shadows. She looked at the distance with a puzzled and indifferent expression.

"Obviously." Xia Feng tilted his head, puzzled. "What's wrong? You're not going to stay asleep anymore?"

"I've had enough sleep, and I want to come out and continue learning," Yue Hongli said earnestly. "So, Master, will their prayers to the Black Moon Goddess truly be answered?"

"Probably not," Xia Feng thought for a moment. "The Black Moon Goddess isn't some kind of wish-granting goddess. I think those prayers are just a formality."

"I see." The woman in the red dress nodded. "So, even if a believer's wishes cannot be fulfilled, they can still be called a god?"

Thinking about it, her gaze shifted again, looking at a male knight in the distance.

The male knight was embracing a slightly plump woman with white bull horns, their lips pressed together.

Two knights in this knightly team were infected by the calamity: one was Kim Jung-eun, the Light Elf, and the other was this male knight.

The slightly plump woman with bull horns was the male knight's spirit weapon in human form. After quietly watching the male knight and the woman with bull horns embrace for a while, Yue Hongli asked Xia Feng again, "Master, what are they doing?"

"..." Xia Feng's eye twitched slightly, and he patiently explained, "They are kissing."

"Kissing? What is kissing?"

Xia Feng thought for a moment and then gave a serious explanation: "Kissing is a friendly act between two people of the opposite sex, where their lips touch. This act brings pleasure to both parties, which can further deepen their pure friendship."

The master's explanation was very profound, using many terms she didn't understand, but she roughly understood that this kiss was probably related to human sexual behavior.

Xia Feng glanced at the thoughtful, nodding woman, thought for a moment, and then said, "Also, kissing can only be mutual... um, between two people who trust each other completely. Do you know why?"

"Yes, Master, of course I know that." The woman in the red dress nodded earnestly.

Xia Feng was taken aback, then asked in surprise, "How did you know that?"

"Of course, Master. Although I have been asleep these past few months, I have also been absorbing knowledge."

"Then tell me why."

Yue Hongli nodded indifferently and explained calmly, "Because when you kiss, the bacteria in both people's mouths will be exchanged, including both beneficial and harmful bacteria."

Therefore, kissing means that both parties agree to take on a certain risk of contracting diseases. For example, if the owner is willing to kiss the red carp, it means that you are willing to risk contracting diseases. This is obviously the greatest trust in the red carp, and the red carp is also willing to take the risk of kissing the only trusted owner.
At this point, the woman in the red dress paused, staring intently at Xia Feng, "Therefore, it can be concluded that kissing is an act that can only be performed between two people who trust each other completely!"

Xia Feng:
Xia Feng: ⊙▂⊙
Xia Feng: (⊙ω⊙`)!

"You're right!" Xia Feng smiled slightly and gave a thumbs up. "Red Carp, you're really smart!"

"Master, you're wrong!" The woman in the red dress raised her beautiful chin, proudly placing her hands on her hips. "Red Carp is an idiot!"

"Alright, alright, from now on you'll be a smart idiot." Xia Feng patted the slightly upturned red curly hair on her head.

"Hey! Xia Xiaofeng, what kind of things have you taught my stepmother, that vixen?" Mushroom's gritted teeth, as if she wanted to hit someone, echoed in Xia Feng and Yue Hongli's minds.

"Daughter, he is your master. You should respect your master."

"I respect your sister!" Mushroom was extremely embarrassed and angry, and really wanted to punch this vixen.

Xia Feng smiled: "Did you hear me, Mushroom? You need to respect me. Quickly call me Dad."

mushroom:"!!!"

Just as the three were chatting and making noise, suddenly, the knights in the distance exclaimed in surprise, and then quickly knelt down on one knee towards the end of the starry river.

Xia Feng followed the gaze and saw a dazzling golden light shooting from the end of the Milky Way, like the first ray of dawn in the darkness, guiding those who walk in the night.

Ito Mi looked up excitedly. Her face was covered with faint blood vessels, a side effect of absorbing too much red mist. But thankfully, she held on and finally received the blessing of the Black Moon Goddess!
