I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 221. Gui and Hua

Listening to Mu Qingtong's explanation, Xia Feng focused his gaze on the woman in the phoenix dress on the throne in the palace.

Although the woman's upper face was covered by a red and white fox mask, Xia Feng still recognized her. This woman was Yue Hongli!
After obtaining the Sky-Mending Stone Embryo from the Black Moon Goddess and slightly repairing the Guidao, Yue Hongli recalled some things.

For example, her primary personality is called "Hua", while her secondary personality is "Gui".

Xia Feng still vividly remembered the palace scene before him; he had seen it once in Yue Hongli's memory fragments and could never forget it.

Xia Feng had previously thought that Yue Hongli's main personality was sealed inside her and had fallen into a deep sleep, just like a person with dissociative identity disorder, whose body can only be dominated by one personality and the two cannot see each other.

But now it seems.
The main personality of Yue Hongli is not within her body, but has separated out, or rather, the secondary personality [Gu] has separated from [Guhua Star God] and become Yue Hongli.

The main personality adopted many children and was revered as the legendary "Mother," forming a super-powerful family that dominated the empire and held immense power—the Golden Broom!
"Red Carp, she's your main personality, right? By the way, what's your relationship with her like?" Xia Feng asked, puzzled.

To his surprise, Guidao remained completely unresponsive, as if she were dead, utterly silent.

Okay, Xia Feng instantly understood. Yue Hongli was afraid of being sensed by [Hua], so she didn't dare to speak. This indirectly showed that the two personalities were probably irreconcilable.

This completely dashed Xia Feng's hopes of currying favor with a super-rich woman.

“Mother, according to intelligence, the carrier of the fifth flame is on this ship, but we are currently unable to confirm his identity.”

The noble young master performed a knightly salute, bowed his head, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully in a deep voice, "But please rest assured, Mother, we have already made some progress and will be able to bring the fire back to you within three days!"

The fox-masked woman leaned against the throne, lazily resting her chin on her hand, her cherry-colored lips beneath the mask parting slightly. "Renault, is that right? Not bad."

Her clear, charming voice was indifferent, and her tone was lazy as she praised, "It seems that the ninth generation still has some usable talent."

Upon hearing the praise, the noble young master's deep eyes flashed with joy, and he became even more serious and respectful, saying in a deep voice, "It is Renault's honor to serve Mother!"

"Hmm," the fox-faced woman responded indifferently.

In fact, the palace scene and the fox-faced woman were just an illusion, like an unstable dream that could shatter at any moment.

But as the fox-faced woman raised her finger, a deep red incantation materialized, seemingly traversing countless times and spaces, shattering space and flying straight towards the noble young master, disappearing into his brow.

"Activate this incantation after finding the spark," the fox-faced woman commanded calmly.

Sensing the power of the incantation, the young nobleman's face lit up with excitement, and he quickly bowed his head and said in a deep voice, "Yes!"

The fox-faced woman, with a languid posture, said nothing more. The palace scene gradually shattered and faded away like a dream, and the figure of the woman, who sat high on the throne like a fox spirit, also disappeared.

The young nobleman and the crowd prostrate behind him waited respectfully for a full three seconds before slowly rising to their feet.

Renault regained his composure and quickly left the room surrounded by his men.

Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong came out of the bedroom, looked at each other, and then slipped out of the room.

"Master, I'm very sorry. I sensed danger just now, so I didn't answer your question immediately."

Just then, Yue Hongli's indifferent voice rang in Xia Feng's mind.

Xia Feng asked, "So, what's your relationship with your dominant personality like?"

"Master, I still haven't recovered my memories of the past." Yue Hongli's tone was somewhat puzzled, but she quickly became serious again. "But I know one thing: my master and I are in a mutually devouring relationship. To replenish myself and restore my godhood, I must devour the other."

Hearing her explanation, Xia Feng seemed to understand. Miss Evil Dragon once said that the twelve main stars are all twin gods, and only by devouring each other's star positions can they advance to the ninth rank and enter the twelve palaces of the star realm.

That evil woman, the Goddess of Eternal Day, wanted to devour him to become one of the twelve main stars. Thinking of this, Xia Feng couldn't help but facepalm. Good heavens, he was doomed. Not only would he be hunted down by the Goddess of Eternal Day, but he also had to be careful of this mysterious "Mother."

“Master, my main personality will do its best to complete itself, so the spark she was looking for just now is very likely related to the fragments of divine authority.”

Upon hearing this, Xia Feng's eyes lit up. So that's how it is. He wasn't really interested in this fire seed. It was said to be able to guide the [Fourth Divine Treasure], but who knows if it's true or not.

But if this spark is related to fragments of divine authority, then he becomes interested. Xia Feng thought for a moment and then asked:
"Red Carp, it feels like your main personality has been active in this world for much longer than you. Do you think she has already collected a lot of divine power fragments?"

"Master, are you an idiot?"

"!" Xia Feng felt that this little maid had become increasingly bold lately, even daring to question and mock him, her master!

“If the main personality had obtained a fragment of divine authority, she would have been able to sense me just now, but she didn’t.”

Yue Hongli explained earnestly, "Moreover, as long as I obtain the fragment of divine authority, my physical senses and those of the main personality will be interconnected, and there is even a chance that I can see what is in front of the other."

But this hasn't happened again, so the master must not have found any other fragments of divine authority either.

Xia Feng nodded thoughtfully. If that was the case, then this "Mother" was too incompetent. After existing for so many years, she hadn't even found a single fragment of divine authority.

Well, there's another possibility: this main personality is also trapped by the [Imaginary River of Numbers] and hasn't fully escaped yet.

"Never mind that for now." Xia Feng shook his head, patted Mu Qingtong's shoulder, and smiled. "Miss Mu, our Peach Organization has a new mission!"

"..." Mu Qingtong smiled helplessly, "Tell me, what new goals do you have this time?"

She's gotten used to accompanying Xia Feng around robbing things every day; basically, whatever Xia Feng wants, she'll get it for him.

After all, the higher Mr. Xia's strength, the better she could beat him up.

Xia Feng gave Mu Qingtong a general overview of the matter concerning Guihua. He currently has two short-term goals: to plunder Number 14 and to find the spark.

Then, depending on the situation, collect the materials needed for the Holy Liberation.

"Let's go find number 14 first."

The mysterious carrier of the fire is hiding on this ship, and the young nobleman can't find him for the time being, so Xia Feng is naturally not in a hurry.

"Boom——"

At that moment, the entire ship shook violently, followed by a deafening roar. Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong's expressions hardened, and they instantly became alert.

Gunshots, explosions, and women's screams could be faintly heard from not far away.

At the same time, a large group of people appeared at the corner of the corridor ahead, rushing frantically towards this side. Their faces were tense, and their eyes held a hint of fear.

"No... what's going on now?" Xia Feng rubbed his forehead, feeling that things were not going very smoothly and another unexpected problem had arisen.

Amidst the chaotic scramble of the crowd, someone shouted a warning in a fearful voice.

"pirate!"

"Someone let the pirates in!!"
