I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 72. The Daughter Who Will Give Birth to a Daughter

To the old man's astonishment, pale white flames erupted from Xia Feng's body, swirling around his shoulder blades and suddenly unfolding into a pair of magnificent fire feathers constructed from holy white flames.

hum-

The fire hummed and rippled, and the surrounding quiet forest rustled. In the gentle breeze, a man dressed in a pure white tailcoat slowly rose into the air.

"This is my Vermilion Bird Demon Armor?" The old man stared wide-eyed in disbelief as he slowly raised his head.

Although the connection with the magical artifact was severed, he could still clearly sense that as the flames of the magical armor changed from crimson to holy white, it seemed that the quality of the entire magical armor had been elevated.

He even had a strange feeling that the jubilant flames of the Vermilion Bird Demon Armor seemed to be leaping with joy, excited, and delighted by the new master's power!

"Look carefully, this is how you use your magical artifact."

With a flick of his fiery wings, Xia Feng flashed behind the old man like a white lightning bolt.

Swish—the blood-red blade pierced the old man's back. The old man's eyes widened as he clutched his chest, his voice trembling with terror, "Don't kill me! I can tell you everything about the Duke!"

Xia Feng paused, as if thinking of something, and thoughtfully glanced at Mu Qingtong: "Indeed, it's a pity to kill him like this. What do you think, Miss Mu?"

"Right? I can tell you anything you want to know!" The old man nodded in relief upon seeing this.

"The words of the dead are the most credible."

Mu Qingtong looked calmly at Xia Feng with her beautiful eyes, "Kill him. I can make the dead talk."

The old man was startled, staring in terror at the woman in the black dress not far away, as if looking at a demon: "What—"

Swish—the blade pierced his heart. His bewildered and shocked gaze slowly faded into a daze, and he seemed to mutter, "Devil."

Xia Feng smiled and looked up: "Miss Mu, it's your turn to perform."

The woman in the black dress stepped forward and placed her palm on the old man's forehead.

Suddenly, a nearly transparent, blurry spirit slowly floated upwards. It was the soul of a young man in his thirties. At this moment, golden symbols lit up in his pupils and slowly rotated clockwise in his dark eye sockets.

Seeing this, Xia Feng smiled and nodded. This woman really knew how to hypnotize.

Currently, it is known that she has two spiritual abilities: hypnosis and a strange ability to strongly control a person's body. The triggering conditions are unknown, but it is certainly not based on looking into someone's eyes.

Since it is an alpha-level spiritual artifact, it will probably also possess three abilities before she completes her Saintly Awakening.

I just don't know what the last ability is.

"Why did the King arrest Li Hongdou?" Mu Qingtong asked calmly.

The young man's voice was blank: "Because only if Li Hongdou acknowledges the princess as her mother can the princess complete the birth ceremony."

"Tell me more details."

"The princess's [existence power] was erased by the Imaginary River, and therefore she was rejected by the [World Will]. In order to regain the [World Will's] approval and have her soul reborn into a physical body, she must find a way to regain her [existence power]."

"The birth ceremony requires a large amount of spiritual materials and boundless stones. The King completed the collection a few days ago, and now only the [Existence Power] is missing."

The way to gain the power of survival is to possess a survival identity recognized by the world, and this identity is often related to one's inner convictions.

The spirit spoke a lot of obscure and incomprehensible words, and Xia Feng frowned as he continued to listen.

"As for the princess's obsession, it is to have a daughter. But the princess's physical body is currently trapped in the Ice God's Coffin, and her soul is..." Hearing his words, Xia Feng nodded in understanding.

In other words, the princess could gain motherhood by having a daughter, thus acquiring the "power of survival" and avoiding rejection by the "world." However, the princess's physical body is sealed in an ice coffin, and her soul is surrounded by a river of imaginary numbers within a three-meter radius, making it impossible for her to have a daughter. That's why...
"Wait a minute, why not just find any woman and have her adopted as her daughter?" Xia Feng asked, puzzled.

The young spirit stammered, "Yue Hongli doesn't agree. She says she's not even married, so how could she have a daughter?"

So this princess can talk. Xia Feng listened to the young man ramble on for a long time before he finally understood.

Yue Hongli was obsessed with having a daughter, so the king held a grand wedding with Yue Hongli's spirit body, three meters away, in front of all the nobles, and named her his queen.

Although the soul often empties its consciousness, drifting around like a ghost, and is difficult to communicate with, and seems to have low intelligence, it can always understand human speech and knows that it is married.

You can have a daughter once you get married.

Therefore, the princess accepted the stepdaughters that the prince had found.

Unfortunately, the realm of the Imaginary River did not disappear, indicating that it did not gain the recognition of the world's will.

Gaining the approval of the princess's soul was completely useless. The king was not discouraged, though, because he still had a real daughter.

Li Hongdou!
Thus began Mushroom's struggle to be forced to acknowledge a mother.

Unfortunately, after two or three years of intermittent efforts, Wang Jue saw that Mushroom refused to acknowledge her mother and gradually gave up on this method. He figured he could just have another child!
The prince simply found a few women and had three daughters, exhausting him to the point of near death. Then the princess said that what she wanted was a daughter who could give birth to daughters.

This completely baffled the King.

A daughter who can give birth to a daughter?!
If it weren't for the fact that Yue Hongli's soul seemed dazed and confused, he would have almost suspected that the soul was playing a trick on him.

However, as a nobleman who had seen it all, he was not discouraged. After trying several more methods, he discovered...
Still, not one of them succeeded!
For example, the divorce allows Yue Hongli to marry a man with an adult daughter, but the princess's spirit says that a woman can only have one marriage in her life.
The king was utterly devastated! He finally understood: Li Hongdou was the only candidate! If Li Hongdou wasn't the one, then this birth ceremony was a paradox that was impossible to complete!

So, after completing the collection of the Boundless Stones, he held a birthday banquet as he had done in previous years, and specifically asked Xia Feng to come and see him.

Although Li Hongdou moved out of the Wangjue Mansion, Wangjue had been secretly monitoring her all these years, knowing that Xia Feng was Li Hongdou's only weakness.

As long as Xia Feng's life is in our hands, it will be easy to make this unfilial daughter obedient.

Unfortunately, a slight mishap occurred midway through the banquet.
After listening to the young man's story, Xia Feng's eyelids twitched slightly. So that banquet hall was so dangerous? Li Siwen wanted to get me, and Lister wanted to get me too.

Didn't these two discuss this beforehand? If Li Siwen really kills me, Liszt will probably be furious.

After the two asked a few more questions, Xia Feng's blade trembled, and the young man's soul was annihilated, turning into spiritual light and disappearing into nothingness.

After Xia Feng used the Blood Beast to destroy the evidence, he and Mu Qingtong exchanged a glance and smiled.

"Let's go."

Pingshan Hospital, standing amidst ruins.

The woman in the red dress still stood like a ghost in front of the glass coffin, her fox-like face, with her eyes covered by a black veil, quietly looking up.

A middle-aged man stood not far away, his hands behind his back, staring at the woman for a long time with slightly narrowed eyes. He slowly reached out his hand as if attempting to cross the three-meter barrier in front of him, but then lowered it halfway, his gaze lingering as he murmured:

"Soon, my queen, you will be able to meet me soon."
