I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 59. Birthday Party

Mushroom is a rich young girl, well, she can barely be considered a young girl.

She rarely encounters difficulties, since difficulties that can be solved with money are not really difficulties.

Judging from the constant stream of pop-up messages, it's clear that she's encountered a major problem this time.

Xia Feng returned the call immediately.

"What's the matter?"

"Are you alright? Are you sick?" Mushroom asked, puzzled.

"It's alright, it's alright. Don't you know me? I have to disappear for a while every now and then," Xia Feng urged. "Hurry up and tell me what's going on."

"Oh! Right!" Mushroom's tone suddenly changed, becoming serious and deep, "Feng, I need you to accompany me to a banquet."

"A banquet? What kind of banquet?"

"Liszt's fiftieth birthday party."

"Liszt?" Xia Feng was taken aback. The birthday banquet of the Prince of the Hydrangea? He did remember Wei Shutong mentioning it and asking him if he wanted to go.

He naturally declined, finding such aristocratic socializing rather uninteresting.

Mushroom's mother died early, and her father was a nobleman, but Xia Feng only heard her mention that she and her father had a very bad relationship, and he didn't say anything more.

He didn't ask any more questions, after all, it was someone else's sad story.

"Your father forced you to attend the King's birthday banquet, right?" Xia Feng had a rough idea of ​​the reason.

"Hmm, about right," Mushroom muttered under his breath.

"almost?"

"Well, actually my father is the Prince of Hydrangea, and he said I have to attend his birthday banquet this year."

"Oh, your father is a prince." Xia Feng nodded and said softly, then paused for a full two seconds, his mouth slowly opening wide, his eyes widening in disbelief. "Huh?"

"Don't blame me, I didn't mean to hide it from you."

"."

"Hey? Are you still listening?" Mushroom's clear, questioning voice came from the phone.

Xia Feng coughed: "Your Highness, I was blind and ignorant before, and offended you. I even tried to be your father. Do you think there is any hope for me?"

Seeing this, Mushroom's big eyes immediately lit up. "Then why don't you dress up as a woman? That way I'll forgive you~"

"Hehe! Goodbye—"

"Hey, wait! Don't hang up! You haven't promised me about the birthday party yet!"

"You have to tell me why? Why do you want me to come with you?" Xia Feng asked, puzzled.

"I... this is the first time I've gone back in so many years, and I'm socially awkward," Mushroom said, her voice trailing off. "Besides, he and my older brother keep forcing me to call that vixen 'Mom,' I definitely won't do it—"

"Okay, I got it. When is the birthday party?"

"You must come tomorrow night at 7 pm!"

Xia Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll stand up for you and make sure you don't get bullied."

"Ok!"

After chatting for a while, he hung up the phone. He took out his location card and glanced at it. There were two bright spots on the grid pattern on the back, one red and one blue, flashing. The red one was number 11, and the blue one was him.

The scale in the lower right corner of the grid map shows: a section of 5000 kilometers.

The red and blue dots are spaced more than eight times apart, which suggests that player number 11 is in a location similar to the 48th district, far away from the 51st district.

It would take at least a day or two to get here.

"Buzz-"

Xia Feng's phone vibrated again, and he glanced at it.

It's rare to hear that it's a text message from the world-destroying witch.

[Tips and Tricks: Are you free tomorrow night?]

Xia Feng: No.

[Experience Pack: Do me a favor.]

[Xia Feng: I said I don't have time to feed them!]

[Experience Pack: Accompany me to a banquet.]

"."

[Xia Feng: A King's Birthday Banquet?]

A short while later, Mu Qingtong called directly.

A calm, gentle voice rang out: "The Duke has two sons, both of whom love me. The second son is dead, but the eldest son still sends flowers to the Mu family manor every month."

"Oh, I get it, classic old trick, using you as a shield, huh?"

"You're not using me as a shield. You are my fiancé, and this is your duty," Mu Qingtong said gently.

Xia Feng rolled her eyes slightly: "Duties? What about rights?"

"What did you say?" Mu Qingtong narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly.

"Oh, I must say the moon is really round tonight. I'm going to sleep now. Goodbye!"

"agreed?"

"I don't have many redeeming qualities, except that I'm kind-hearted. I didn't really want to go to the banquet, but since you've so sincerely asked, I'll reluctantly help you—beep—beep—"

Before he could finish speaking, the phone emitted a long beeping tone indicating it had been disconnected. Xia Feng glanced at the screen in confusion and muttered, "How rude."

"Buzz-"

He was just about to put down his phone to take a shower when the screen started vibrating again.

[Old Wei: Are you free tomorrow night?]

"Goodness, that's a familiar opening line."

Xia Feng: Let me guess, it's the King's birthday banquet, right?

[Old Wei: Kid, you have to go this time whether you want to or not. The Duke specifically requests to see you!]
