I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 924. Xia Feng's Evil Intent and Killing Ambition

Shi Li's actions were undoubtedly a gesture of goodwill towards him, helping him save Huang Zhaoyue's life.

Although it's highly likely that Fentian wouldn't dare to kill Huang Zhaoyue after capturing her, at most he would imprison her and then negotiate with Huang Ye.

But it's better to be safe than sorry. What if these cult lunatics aren't afraid of Huang Ye's retaliation?

Xia Feng patted the delicate shoulder of the woman in the green dress and nodded in satisfaction: "Little Li, you did a good job. This Holy Son is very satisfied."

"..." Shi Li's gentle smile remained unchanged. "I'm glad Your Highness is satisfied."

Xia Feng was about to say something more when he suddenly froze.

If Huang Zhaoyue were to die, wouldn't that mean that her wedding to Huang Shikai had been successfully prevented? Xia Feng stroked his chin, lost in thought.

While in the Sumeru Realm, He Jianzhu entrusted Aunt Black Crow to convey a message: the wedding of Huang Zhaoyue and Huang Shikai was related to the safety of the Dragon God and had to be stopped.

Therefore, the most obvious and effective way to stop it is the death of one of the key figures.

Since we can't kill Huang Shikai, why not just kill Huang Zhaoyue?

Thinking of this, Xia Feng looked at the black and white female figure on the ice bed, his dark eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze gradually became dangerous.

As long as this mysterious female dragon with the bloodline of the abyss dies, the crisis of the evil dragon lady that He Jianzhu mentioned can be easily resolved!

Solve the problem directly at its root!

The deeper Xia Feng thought about it, the darker the shadows in his eyes became, his gaze flickering with an obscure intensity.

"Whoa—!" Just then, the woman on the ice bed seemed to sense an impending danger and suddenly opened her eyes!
Those fox-gray vertical pupils narrowed to needles, and the eerie, chilling killing intent condensed into a tangible stream of light, which suddenly exploded wildly.

"Bang!!"

The goddess attendants who were guarding the area changed their expressions slightly and retreated.

Shi Li remained calm and casually waved his hand, suppressing the energy fluctuations around Huang Zhaoyue.

Huang Zhaoyue's graceful black and white figure suddenly soared into the air, hovering there. Her light gray vertical pupils were oppressive and terrifying, like a lone wolf that dared not sleep and was always vigilant about its surroundings, coldly staring at the crowd in the distance.

Xia Feng remained calm and quickly stepped out from behind Shi Li, smiling slightly, "They're our own people, Your Highness. These aunties and sisters are your saviors, so please don't forget their kindness."

Upon seeing that it was Xia Feng, Huang Zhaoyue relaxed her guard slightly, but her delicate brows remained furrowed. She clearly sensed a great deal of malice and killing intent just now, which jolted her awake.

Over the years, she has developed a habit of always being wary of anyone around her. Even though she knows that she is protected by the abyss and no one dares to approach her, she still never dares to enter a deep sleep.

As a result, after years of training, she has become extremely sensitive to evil thoughts. Even while sleeping, she can sense them and can be forcibly awakened whenever an evil thought appears.

The stronger the malice, the faster she woke up.

This time, the evil intent was of the highest level, directly aiming to kill her. Huang Zhaoyue coldly surveyed the people around her; judging from their attire, they were all from the Goddess Palace.

She couldn't find the source of the evil thoughts for the time being, but it wasn't a big deal. She was already used to these kinds of evil thoughts with no source, and she had encountered them many times over the past ten thousand years.

Fortunately, Xia Feng seems to have a close relationship with the people of the Goddess Palace. With him around, even if those in the shadows have ideas, they probably wouldn't dare to make a move.

"Now that she has awakened, Lord Xia Feng, you should leave as well." Shi Li didn't exchange any more words or thoughts with Huang Zhaoyue; she simply smiled.

Xia Feng nodded, transformed back into a black cat, and jumped onto Huang Zhaoyue's shoulder.

As the head of the Beast Lords, Shi Li oversees all defense matters on Burning Sky Island. Sending two people out secretly would be extremely easy for her. Watching the woman, the black cat, walk away from the Great Sin Warship, Shi Li pursed her lips and murmured softly.

"Lord Xia Feng, remember your promise. Her Highness the Goddess only has three months. Once that time is up, there will be no turning back."

Xia Feng's thoughts faltered for a moment. For a brief instant, he wanted to go back right now and wake Gong Changyi up.

But reason ultimately prevailed over emotion. When facing Gong Changyi, this sickly older sister, it was better to be ruthless and make more preparations.

After Huang Zhaoyue and Xia Feng entered the Great Sin Warship, the warship sailed into the secret passage and disappeared.

Yuzuriha Rin, chewing on a lollipop, walked to the head of the women's dress in blue and asked hesitantly, "Do you think he will come back?"

Shi Li's gaze was calm as she said softly, "Don't worry. It's clear that he also has extraordinary feelings for the Goddess. He will come back."

"Emotions? What emotions?" Yuzuri Rin was unconvinced. She couldn't see any emotions at all; all she saw was a little rascal trying to renege on his debt.

“Compared to that, the relationship between His Highness the Holy Son and that Imperial Concubine is more worthy of being recorded.” A hint of interest flashed in Shi Li’s beautiful eyes.

"relation?"

At this point, Yuzuriha Rin's lips curled into a smile, quite pleased. "I see now, the little rascal has fallen for the Imperial Consort, hasn't he? Hehe~ Too bad, Huang Zhaoyue already has a fiancé, and they're said to be getting married soon. The little rascal is probably destined to be nothing more than a pitiful simp~~"

"..." Shi Li glanced at the pink-haired woman with her beautiful eyes without leaving a trace. She was about to say something, but in the end she only sighed slightly.

Yuzuriha is good in every way, and has good talent, making her a potential successor. However, unfortunately, she is not very bright and lacks observation skills.
She had just clearly sensed that the reason Huang Zhaoyue had suddenly woken up was because His Highness the Holy Son had suddenly developed murderous intent towards her!
This is quite interesting. The Holy Prince was worried about Huang Zhaoyue's safety just a moment ago, but suddenly wanted to kill her the next moment. What could be the reason for this?

Shi Li gazed into the distance, quietly looking at the starry sky.

*
The tenth district, Yongliuhai.

A whirlpool suddenly appeared in the azure sea current, and a dark black warship silently emerged.

Huang Zhaoyue stood in the center of the control room, her face pale. She steered the warship for a while longer, and only after confirming that it was safe did she put the warship into autopilot mode.

Then, puzzled, she asked, "What is your relationship with the Goddess Palace?"

"Your Highness, I suggest you focus on recovering from your injuries. Knowing too much won't do you any good," Xia Feng said, playing the role of the riddle-maker.

"I've heard that the Goddess Palace has been searching for the Holy Son of Eternal Day."

Huang Zhaoyue seemed to be deep in thought, and then spoke to herself, "For the Goddess Palace to allow you to leave without any objection, and even to let me leave Burning Heaven Island out of respect for you, your identity is clearly not simple. So, you are the Holy Son of Eternal Day?"

"."

Knowing there was no way to hide it from the mother dragon, Xia Feng scoffed, "Anyway, whatever you say goes. If you say I'm your father, Huang Ye, I have no objection."

"."

Seeing that he was taking advantage of her with his unrestrained words, Huang Zhaoyue pursed her lips. Just as she was about to ask something, she suddenly looked up as if she had sensed something.

The strange tree shadow pattern on the ship's ceiling seemed to come alive again, its branches trembling, and golden light shining from the center of each leaf, creating a soft glow that resembled a starry sky.

A divine presence is descending!
