I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 970. The Aura of the Nightmare God
"Xiao Nan, where have you been these past few days!"

Beneath those gentle, cool eyes lay a hint of displeasure and reprimand, "Didn't I tell you to stay in the academy and not run around?"

"..." Xia Feng was momentarily taken aback. Just now, this woman had been extremely respectful to his status as an Abyss Saint, while also subtly displaying hostility.

Xia Feng frowned for a moment at the sudden change in attitude, but he held back and said nothing.

After all, he is now this woman's brother, and it's not appropriate for him to do anything outside of his official role.

Seeing him lower his head and remain silent, Ke Yanqing frowned even more. "Answer me, why don't you listen to your sister!"

"..." Xia Feng had no choice but to pretend to be frightened, burying his face in the ink-wash green mountains again, his whole body trembling.

"..." Ke Yanqing stiffened again, that vague sense of unease returning to her heart, as if something was not right.

But she was quickly dispelled by the trembling of the boy in her arms. Helplessly, she lowered her eyes. Her younger brother had been frail and sickly since childhood, with a fragile mind and body. He needed to sleep at least 20 hours a day and had hardly ever left the Ko family manor. As a result, he was somewhat timid and disliked talking.

But they are still children, full of curiosity about the outside world.

Having finally gotten the chance to move freely in the outside world, it's inevitable that they'll wander off.

Thinking of this, she couldn't bring herself to criticize her any further.

However, the necessary punishment still needs to be meted out! But she was just about to speak.

"Qing, Sister Qing, I'm sorry. Calamity has befallen us, and Star Sparrow is in crisis. I just wanted to... to become stronger."

A timid voice came from his arms; the boy seemed very remorseful.
"If I could be as capable as my second brother, I wouldn't be a burden to you."

The frustrated and choked-up tone made Ke Yanqing's beautiful eyes widen in surprise. She opened her red lips, her heart filled with even more pity, and she hugged Xia Feng tighter, swallowing back the punishment she was about to say.

The Ke family actually had four children in this generation: the eldest sister Ke Yanqing, the second son Ke Weisi, the third son Ke Beiwang, and the fourth son Ke Nan.

However, the third son, Ke Beiwang, died unexpectedly at birth due to Ke Yanqing's uncontrolled abilities.

Fortunately, after Ke Beiwang died, another child was born as if by divine favor.

Conan then became the third son, and Ke Yanqing, who felt extremely guilty, transferred her guilt towards Ke Beiwang to Conan.

Of course, this was probably all a result of the rules of the Calamity Realm, Xia Feng guessed as darkness fell before his eyes once again.

Ke Beiwang is indeed a real person, but the world of Destiny uses the power of creating cause and effect to fabricate a child behind Ke Beiwang, giving Ke Yanqing a target to vent her feelings of guilt.

It has to be said that Mojin's ability is truly terrifying.

It is important to understand that the greater the causal connection with a higher-ranking individual, the less likely they are to be affected by the 'causal relationship' of misfortune.

Ke Yanqing is a follower of the Goddess Hua and has a direct connection with the existence of the deity. Yet, her memories were still altered, resulting in the addition of a younger brother to her network of relationships.

Just outrageous.

However, perhaps this is also due to Ke Yanqing's own deep-seated expectations.

Xia Feng pondered that Ke Yanqing wanted a target to compensate for her feelings of guilt. Therefore, with such a clear desire, the cause and effect became very easy to form, and even her status as a maidservant could not stop her.

Thinking of this, Xia Feng seemed to understand something. The cause-and-effect relationship seemed beautiful and fulfilled people's wishes, but it also harbored a deep-seated malice.

For example, Xia Feng, if circumstances allowed, would not hold back against Ke Yanqing in the slightest.

Betrayal from the person you trust most, and the person you are most willing to trust, is terrifying!
Of course, killing Ke Yanqing would bring some rewards during the settlement phase, but Xia Feng's main goal right now is Tian Shu Wu, so he won't take action unless absolutely necessary.

After all, Keyanqing's status as a concubine was very important. "Xiao Nan, you are not a burden." Keyanqing said earnestly, her eyes gentle and cool.

Xia Feng paused for a moment, then nodded slowly and responded with a muffled "Mm".

With a soft voice, Ke Yanqing ruffled Xia Feng's hair and pulled him back into her warm embrace. At the same time, the temperature in her beautiful eyes dropped, and she became cold and indifferent again as she looked up at the magnificent Sparrow God Mountain, hidden among the clouds and mist, which was gradually approaching.

Xia Feng could clearly sense that Ke Yanqing had a strong maternal instinct, and he couldn't even lift his head to restore his vision and light.

He could only follow the golden sparrow as it soared into the sky, swaying his cheeks in the dark, soft fragrance, feeling a strange unease.

I wonder how Ke Yanqing would react if she knew that her little brother was actually an Abyss Saint, or the K-mask who had humiliated her back then.

Xia Feng gave up struggling to lift his head and thought to himself.

*
Not far from the central tower, inside a dimly lit house.

A woman wearing a white coat and a mask hid behind the curtains, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes wide as she stared at the distant tower, her emotions churning within her.

Three days ago, when the boy rushed directly towards the central tower, she thought that he, like the representatives of those forces, was going to make a deal with the Abyss Saints.

But little did anyone expect that the boy was actually the disciple of the Abyss Saint!

This made her heart pound, and she couldn't hide the excitement in her eyes. Her mind was filled with joy and praise for her father's amazing abilities.

Kikyo Ayame knew the wheelchair-bound boy was definitely a big shot, but she never imagined he was this big.

However, what had just happened turned her joy into astonishment.

The boy is not only a Saint of the Abyss, but also the young master of the Ke family? He is Ke Yanqing's younger brother!
Ke Yanqing.
The reason she failed to be selected as a concubine was because of this Miss Ke. After being severely humiliated by Miss Ke stepping on her cheek, she developed a mental demon and never recovered.

Therefore, Miss Korch is undoubtedly the person Kikyo Ayame hates most in her life, her lifelong enemy.

However.
Kikyo Ayame tilted her masked face up, her large, almond-shaped eyes fixed on the direction where Kinjaku had gone.

My enemy's brother is my father?

A strange web of relationships flashed through her mind. She frowned. Something was wrong. If the Abyss Saint was Conan, then why was he so exploitative when trading with the Golden Flower?

There must be more to this story than meets the eye.

But in any case, making a pact with the Abyss Saints is the right choice.

As long as the Abyss Saints are willing to carry her, then she, Queen Kikyo, is destined to be extraordinary! The blonde masked woman's eyes gleamed as she thought to herself.

At that time, the insignificant Ke Yanqing will become a stepping stone for the great Queen of Bellflower!

Lost in thought, she took a step and rushed towards the Gate of Sumeru to find her father! But as soon as she jumped onto a rooftop, her steps and body suddenly froze.

"Boom—!" A purple lightning dragon flashed across the dark clouds in the sky. Her phoenix pupils swirled into a dark purple ※ symbol. A mysterious and magnificent aura of a terrifying evil god spread and flowed in the bottom of her pupils. The divine light emanating from the corners of her eyes stretched out into bird wing holy patterns.

However, it was only for a moment, as if a frame had been dropped, her expression instantly returned to normal, and she glanced at the sky with her phoenix eyes, but there was no thunder or other unusual phenomenon.

She tilted her head in confusion, seemingly a bit dazed, but quickly remembered her business, slapped her forehead, and turned to rush towards the direction of Sparrow God Mountain.

"Yes, we need to find Dad!"
