I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 833. The Mistress
"One, two, three, thirty-four, thirty-five?" Xia Feng was surprised. After counting again, it was indeed 35.

[Currently possessing: (+35) 299 Ember Stones]

Is this some kind of incredible luck, born with exceptional fortune? Or is there some special method for finding it?
He looked up in confusion: "How did you find so many?"

"Hmm? Just like you, Master, I'll search normally." Yue Hongli blinked, puzzled. "Does Master think it's not enough? Then I'll go look for more!"

"."

Xia Feng didn't stop Yue Hongli, but followed her, intending to observe Yue Hongli's innate good fortune.

Strangely, they didn't find another ember stone for the next half day.

Does luck have an expiration date?
Why was my luck so good for the first ten days, but now it's turned bad?

Xia Feng frowned and pondered for a moment, then, as if he had thought of something, he returned to the cave and left Yue Hongli to act alone.

Sure enough, two hours later, Yue Hongli brought him back another Ember Stone!
"What incredible luck!" Xia Feng was convinced and finally understood that he might be born with bad luck, and being with Yue Hongli had negated Yue Hongli's innate good fortune.

Of course, they don't completely offset each other.

The Moon Red Carp will have stronger luck, and it will bring them good fortune in everything they do.

Thinking of this, Xia Feng subconsciously touched his chest, feeling the thumping of the demon's heart, and frowned.

Is this thing born with bad luck?

He couldn't help but recall that more than a year ago, on the night he was about to activate the Demon Heart, he had just gone out to find Miss Mu when he was hit by a car and sent to the hospital. He almost couldn't bind the World Destroyer Demoness. He was really unlucky.

As he pondered, Xia Feng looked up again, staring thoughtfully at the tall woman in front of him.

Yue Hongli tilted her head, her pair of fox-like eyes with rose-red pupils blinking gently, filled with doubt: "Hmm?"

"Moon Red Carp, Moon Red Carp," Xia Feng muttered. "By the way, who gave you this name?"

“Name? Heng came up with it. Heng said my original name, ‘Guishen,’ was really awful and creepy.”

Her bright red tuft of hair stood up as she explained, "Heng's surname is Yue. She said I'm a koi fish, and since I'm red all over, she named me Yuehongli (Moon Red Koi)."

"."

Wow, what a simple and unpretentious way to name a child.

"What's wrong, Master? Is there a problem?" Yue Hongli's voice was actually rather cold, but her confused expression was somewhat adorable.

Xia Feng shook his head, stood up, sighed, and then smiled: "It's nothing, I just suddenly realized that Xiao Li's thighs are still the most appealing. You are the real big boss and rich woman!"

"Thighs? Smells good?"

Yue Hongli was puzzled. Hu Qiao blinked her beautiful eyes and looked down at herself, but found that she couldn't see anything. She had to press her chest to see her long legs.

So, the owner liked to lick this spot?
But does it smell good?
Why can't she smell it?
Furthermore, when the master and mistress were having sex, the master was never seen licking.

After thinking for a moment, she looked up and explained earnestly, "Master, if you want to lick it, you probably won't be able to taste it, since I don't have a physical body right now. However, I can simulate any fragrance. Would you like to try licking it, Master?"

"???"

"."

Xia Feng's gaze unconsciously drifted to the woman's thighs in her red dress. He rubbed his forehead, closed his eyes, and thought, "Never mind, I don't have time to correct this guy's understanding of the term 'clinging to someone's leg,' and I certainly don't have time..."
It’s still business that matters.

He regained access to number 9 and picked up the last piece of Emberstone.

[Currently possessing: (+1) 300 Ember Stones]

Information flooded my mind.

[Currently in the third round, some players have already collected 300 Ember Stones! The location of the Red King's exposed card has been announced—] Blood Thunder Sky Sea, Divine Sun Canyon.

Around the towering pillar of light, the seven Saint Realm experts were all stunned for a moment, then looked up.

"Hehe~ That right-wing prince is quite quick." Ms. Mi chuckled. "To accumulate such a high number in just sixteen days is impressive."

Huang Zhaoyue frowned slightly, puzzled. Had Xia Feng really reached a cooperation agreement with Yufeller?
Indeed, in this situation, it would be the best option for the two to put aside their grudges and form an alliance to obtain as many Emberstones as possible.

However, neither Xia Feng nor Yufeller could possibly remain a staunch ally to the end.

It's even more impossible to accumulate 300 Ember Stones in just sixteen days.

Unless one of them had all their Embers taken by the other, Huang Zhaoyue narrowed her fox-grey eyes thoughtfully as she thought of this.

Jin Yangtian and Jin Shiyin, among others, also realized this problem.

Kim Shi-in chuckled, his tone languid: "It seems that the mysterious Spade Lord has finally died. What a pity, hehe."

No one paid him any attention, nor did he seem to care much about the matter. After slightly raising his eyes, the Black Moon Pope returned to his studies of the Ember Sun Divine Realm. The person in the ninth seat was just there to make up the numbers, so his death was no big deal.

Xia Feng was unaware that he had been defined as a dead man, but he did indeed have some suicidal thoughts.

[Red King Exposure Card Location Revealed - Celestial Realm, Coordinates 87.13.01]

[This round of exposure will last for 30 minutes (the settlement phase will begin after the card's time limit expires)]

I saw the words "heavenly realm".

Xia Feng's heart sank to the bottom.

Tired, let it all end! He rubbed his aching temples, pacing anxiously back and forth in the desolate cave. He took a deep breath, his brows furrowed deeply. "Damn it, what am I supposed to do now?"

This was indeed a situation he hadn't anticipated.

The Red King Exposure Card is actually in the Celestial Realm!

Without obtaining the Red King Exposure Card, you cannot start the Red King Exposure phase, let alone enter the settlement phase.

If you fail to draw the Premium Lucky Card, you can only activate Plan B by purchasing the Outer World Descent.

However, if he doesn't enter the settlement phase, even if he accumulates 300 Ember Stones, he still won't be able to buy the Outer Boundary Descent and summon Miss Mu.

It's a complete dead end.

The source of this deadlock is the Heavenly Tribulation of the Heavenly Gate.

The Celestial Realm will only open automatically in the fifth round. For Xia Feng, the only way to enter the Celestial Realm in the previous rounds was to withstand the Heavenly Tribulation Barrier between the Celestial Realm and the Nine Domains and force his way in.

That heavenly tribulation barrier was called the 'Nine Heavenly Tribulations'. It was originally a law-based barrier set up by the celestial god Gu Yi to protect spiritual energy from flowing out of the celestial realm.
However, as the laws of the Sumeru World gradually perfected, the Heavenly Gate Law Barrier also began to evolve automatically, acquiring offensive capabilities. As for the magnitude of this offensive power...
Thinking of this, Xia Feng suddenly stopped, turned around and went to the cave entrance.
In the distance, amidst the thin clouds, the majestic golden mountain range still sits atop the sea of ​​clouds, while the even higher Void Heaven Divine Gate gleams with golden light.

"The Celestial Realm," Xia Feng murmured, his dark eyes narrowing slightly, a sharp, cold glint reflected in their depths.

Since the crux of the problem lies in the Heavenly Tribulation at the Heavenly Gate.

Then——

"Knock on the Heavenly Gate!"

Xia Feng quickly made a decision and turned around to say, "Little Carp, you continue searching for the Evil Earth Stone. I'll be right back."

Time was limited, so he dared not linger and flew away into the distance after speaking.
