After dealing with the spiritual body No. 11, Xia Feng glanced at the time.
The hunting and devouring phase of the Life Roulette lasted a full fifteen days.
Ten days had already passed, which meant there were five days left before he could shop in the Life Roulette again.
Well, he could just slack off for the next five days.
Thinking this, Xia Feng squatted down and closely observed himself on the ground for a while, then nodded in satisfaction:
"Have to say, you really are handsome~"
Shi Feng: "..."
Xia Feng then touched the chest of the corpse. The Evil Demon Heart that had been inside the left chest was gone, leaving a hollow space, as if this person had been heartless from the start.
He threw out the Blood Beast to disassemble Shi Feng and dusted off his hands to stand up.
"Master, your abilities are so weird," the Princess said standing beside him, her expression confused.
"Oh, how so?"
The Princess stepped forward, touched Xia Feng’s chest, then leaned her charming little face against his chest to listen intently.
Her red lips parted, her voice cold, "Master, your heart, is black." 𝖓𝔬𝖛𝔭𝔲𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
Your heart is black, not mine! Xia Feng silently pressed on her slender shoulders intending to push her away when, at that moment, the abrasive sound of keys roughly unlocking a lock reached their ears.
Bang—
The door was kicked open with a loud crash. The two inside the room looked on in confusion, only to see a girl in a little bear pajama set charging in with eyes full of fury, glaring at the two huddled together:
"Xia Feng! Let—let go of my mom!!"
"No, that’s not right! Let go of that fox spirit!" Mushroom’s little face flushed red as she hastily corrected her slip of the tongue.
"..."
Xia Feng looked down at the foxy face pressed against his chest and couldn’t help but roll his eyes. He wrapped his arm around the Princess’s graceful waist, lifted his chin, and stared down at Mushroom, "I won’t let go. What are you going to do about it~"
Mushroom: "!!!"
She felt she might someday die of anger because of Xia Feng; he was just too shameless!
"Now I understand. No wonder you encouraged me to recognize a mother back then; you actually wanted me to call you ’Dad’! You pervert!" Mushroom berated, her face turning redder.
"...."
"Alright, alright, don’t be angry." Xia Feng smoothed down her slightly frizzed hair and smiled, "Besides, it’s not that big of a deal. Why don’t you just call her ’stepmom,’ she calls me ’master,’ and I remain your good buddy. We’ll each have our own roles."
"...Each have, our own?"
"That’s right~ Just like that. Oh, by the way, dinner is ready. Let’s go have a meal together, the three of us~"
"Hey!!!!!!!"
*
The next day, at the Holy Department Building.
Xia Feng was here to find Wei Shutong but unexpectedly encountered Mu Qingtong.
Mu Qingtong’s beautiful eyes stared silently at the Princess sitting beside Xia Feng, her gaze enigmatic.
Yue Hongli’s expression was cold, also staring calmly at the woman in the black dress. Seeing that the woman in the black dress had yet to speak, she titled her head, "Are you mute?"
Mu Qingtong pursed her lips, her eyebrows lightly arching, and asked softly in confusion:
"Princess, have you really become Xia Feng’s servant?"
"Servant?"
The Princess looked puzzled, as if contemplating. She shook her head, "I’m not a servant, I’m my master’s maid."
"Is there a difference?" Mu Qingtong asked in a faint voice.
"Servant refers to someone who has lost their freedom and is at the disposal of their master, deprived of the right to their own life. According to the ’Latest Revised Dictionary of the Empire,’ servant is an outdated term from before the Empire’s reform era, generally not associated with fulfilling the master’s physiological desires."
"Maid, in addition to the basic functions of a servant, can also wear some provocative outfits to enhance the master’s physiological desires and combat abilities."
The Princess looked very serious, staring blandly at Mu Qingtong, "Not understanding even this, it seems you’re also an idiot."
Mu Qingtong: "?"
"Even dumber than me," the Princess concluded.
Mu Qingtong’s expressionless gaze turned to Xia Feng.
Xia Feng blinked, chuckled lightly, "Miss Mu, why are you looking at me? She’s calling you dumb, fight back~"
"Heh~"
Mu Qingtong laughed lightly. There were so many fools in the world; if she had to retort to each one, she would be exhausted to death.
She no longer bothered with the Princess, but voiced her doubt, "By the way, how did you get her to recognize you as her master?"
"Secret." Xia Feng smiled.
"What’s her ability?"
"Secret."
Mu Qingtong’s eyes, visible under her semi-rimmed glasses, curved into crescents as she spoke softly, "I must say, Mr. Xia, you seem to have more and more secrets."
"Heh~ Glad you know~"
Xia Feng crossed his arms, confidently lifted his chin, and taunted, "Miss Mu, let me tell you this: with my current strength, I could pin you down and beat you using just one hand!"
"!"
Mu Qingtong’s delicate eyebrows involuntarily raised in a slight arch; she was somewhat surprised. Previously, Xia Feng always remarked on how powerful she was, continuously probing her strength.
And now, he no longer probed her strength but instead spoke confidently about pinning and pounding her.
Seeing Xia Feng’s aggravatingly smug expression as if challenging her to come at him, Mu Qingtong’s eyes narrowed slightly, and the flames of anger burning inside her grew even more intense.
Mr. Xia, I really... really want to pin you beneath me and ravage you thoroughly, to hear the trembling plea in your voice as you completely surrender.
It must be very pleasing to the ear!
