I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch-Chapter 163 - 146. Mu Qingtong Arrives
Wei Shutong seemed not to have noticed her.
Cha Naixue did not make a fuss, calmly turned around, and went back into the room.
Master Hua frowned and stared at the blue flower in her hand, speaking gravely, "Holy Daughter, do you casually pluck flowers like this? That’s a bit too hasty."
"Ah..." Yeli Xing shook his head and sighed, the Holy Daughter had gone mad.
Cha Naixue ignored the doubt from the two and walked directly into the shadows behind the sofa.
As she moved into the darkness where the light did not reach, the delicate indigo flower in her hand began to glow. Little speckles of light scattered from the petals, revolving around the stamen like countless stars above four petals.
This was unmistakably a phenomenon that occurred only with Star Bone Glass.
Yeli Xing, who was about to continue his questioning, was caught off guard, his eyes widened in astonishment as he stared at the Star Flower in the hands of the Holy Daughter.
"What’s going on?" He was bewildered. Was this truly the Star Bone Glass?
At this thought, he incredulously turned his head toward Xia Feng, "How did you do it?"
Xia Feng smiled, "You just need hands."
"..."
Dammit, he had been fooled by this man in disguise! Yeli Xing knew there existed a very rare physical constitution called Divinity Affinity.
This constitution naturally sensed substances possessing divinity, which was also why it was greatly welcomed by the major Church Courts, possessing a higher chance to become a Saint Heir or Holy Daughter than the average person.
Could this Xia fellow really have Divinity Affinity?
Yeli Xing admitted to feeling jealous. Dammit, how did this guy get so lucky with his reincarnation!
Master Hua, with a face thick with makeup, thoughtfully glanced at Xia Feng and nodded with satisfaction, "Tsk tsk, indeed a genius. Those ladies will certainly like you."
Xia Feng: "..."
Cha Naixue paid no attention to the words of those behind her, only looking at the Star Bone Glass in her hand with some surprise.
The moment the sparkle of starlight appeared, she clearly sensed that, incredibly, the stem of the flower contained Holy Liquid?
And a full 50 milliliters?!
Suppressing the excitement in her heart, she silently put the flower into a storage box and secured it, planning to secretly extract the Holy Liquid after leaving the Garden.
Musing to herself, she turned around, returned to the sofa, and gracefully sat down, embracing Xia Feng’s waist without a word and looked up indifferently, "Alright, the matter is settled, you all may leave now."
"..." With a delicate hand on his waist, Xia Feng sat expressionlessly in her embrace.
Yeli Xing silently stared at Xia Feng, whose cheek was leaning against the fine neck of the Holy Daughter. Being suddenly and forcefully embraced by the Holy Daughter, Xia Feng was almost buried in her snowy white neck.
Seeing this scene, Yeli Xing felt a pain in his heart. Holy Daughter, you’re being too impulsive.
Everyone was still here, and you’re already getting handsy with this lowly person?!
The breath of Xia Feng flowed along her neck, Cha Naixue’s neck tensed slightly, and her purple eyes calmly lifted, "Knight Yeli Xing, why are you still standing there?"
"..."
Yeli Xing snapped out of it, bowed respectfully, and as he turned to leave, his face darkened. It seemed the Holy Daughter had completely lost her senses to this lowly person!
As soon as the room’s door closed.
Xia Feng was about to sit up, but Cha Naixue frowned and continued to hug his waist, "Don’t move, there are people watching on the first floor as well. If we’re going to act, let’s make it convincing."
"They can look all they want, let me go." Xia Feng ignored her, opened her hands, and sat up.
"I saw your foster father."
"Hm?"
"Wei Shutong is inside the Star Bone Pillar." Cha Naixue smiled and glanced at Xia Feng with a light sneer, whispering, "What do you say, should I report him now?"
Xia Feng smiled without a word, quietly staring at her.
"....." Cha Naixue realized that she had again got carried away with her elation; her smile slowly stiffened, her eyelashes trembled as she dropped her gaze, "I’m just joking, don’t do anything rash....."
"What is Wei Shutong doing in there?"
Cha Naixue briefly described the scene she had seen, and Xia Feng’s brow involuntarily furrowed even tighter.
The Star Bone Pillar recorded all the events and images that had occurred here, and Wei held a strange USB drive in his hand. Xia Feng didn’t need to think hard to guess what this guy was up to.
Although he didn’t know how Wei had infiltrated the Star Bone Pillar, Xia Feng always felt that something iffy was going on, and it was bound to lead to trouble sooner or later.
He couldn’t help but look at the towering column ahead with some concern.
"No, wait." Xia Feng suddenly snapped back to reality, almost forgetting the important business at hand.
He turned around expressionlessly and stared at Cha Naixue, his gaze calm, "Hand it over."
"What?" Cha Naixue puzzled.
Xia Feng cut to the chase, "Don’t play dumb, give me the Holy Liquid."
"!" Cha Naixue’s heart skipped a beat, how did this bastard know about that?!
"What Holy Liquid?" She frowned, a look of confusion on her face, her lips pursed helplessly, "Even though I am the Holy Daughter, I still have no means to obtain such rare spiritual materials..."
"3—" Xia Feng smiled, "2—"
"1"
"Take it! Here, I’ll give it to you, okay!" Cha Naixue clammed up, gritted her teeth, and stood up to walk into the secret room.

After squeezing all the golden liquid out of the flower stem into the test tube, she sealed it and handed it to Xia Feng, "Take care of it!"
Xia Feng smiled and took it, immediately feeling a surge of spiritual heat entering his palm.
Good, 50 milliliters of Holy Liquid, in hand!
With the previous 40 milliliters, he now had 90 milliliters.
Just 10 milliliters short, and he would have collected all the necessary Holy Dissolution Material. With 100 milliliters of Holy Liquid, a Holy Resolution Stone would form, granting him a one-time temporary Holy Release to experience the power of Holy Release.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Ladies and gentlemen!"
Right then, a powerful microphone announcement resonated from outside.
"Welcome back to the Garden, my dear family. Are you all satisfied with the ’Hunt Garden’s’ treasures?"
Xia Feng and Cha Naixue stepped out of the secret room and looked towards the first floor.
Nearly a hundred people were gathered around a podium, comprising properly dressed gentlemen and a few ladies in extravagant long gowns.
In the center, on the podium, stood Master Hua dressed in a dark green suit and tie, he stretched out his arms, passionately speaking:
"To make sure our new family members are taken care of, let me first explain the rules of the ’Hunt Garden.’ It’s quite simple. With the radius of five hundred meters from the glass house as the center, you are free to chase after those fleeing treasures. Besides not being allowed to attack each other, there are no other restrictions. You can do whatever you would like to do to the ’treasures,’ oh."
"Of course, if anyone finds that those ’treasures’ from the ’Orphanage’ don’t act realistic enough or cannot exude the highborn temperament, that’s not a problem at all. There are plenty of real noble ladies in the Garden!"
He pointed with his elegant cane to a dark area, and instantly a spotlight illuminated it:
"Do you see them? Count Yali’s prized pearl, Baron Lin Jiunan’s favorite lady, and the legendary Detective Li Hong’s childhood sweetheart. These are all from families of traitors who refused to join the Garden, ha, I’m sure you gentlemen are very interested!"
Master Hua said, chuckling softly as his cane pointed to another spot, "Of course, there’s also the Miss Zhi Zi whom you have all been longing for."
"Once praised as the most beautiful spirit songstress on earth, a superstar loved by the Empire’s populace with over a hundred million fans, Miss Jiang Zhizi!"
The spotlight fell on a woman wearing a magnificent dress and holding a microphone, standing expressionless on the stage.
She looked down at the countless odd and filthy gazes projected at her, her emotions unreadable.
She had been through this far too many times, and apart from that one time when she felt like she was on the edge of an abyss when seen by Wen Zaiye, no matter what these swine did to her, it never elicited any emotion from her.
"Well, my dear family! You may frolic freely among the flowers, and under the watch of nature, indulge your innermost desires! Let us begin tonight’s—grand feast!"
As the infectious and vibrant voice of Master Hua fell, the scene lapsed into a brief silence.
Some of the new girls turned pale, stepped back in fear, finally realizing what was happening, and quickly scrambled out of the glass house.
But it was all in vain; their screams were drowned out by the vulgar and wild laughter.
Situations like this were occurring everywhere, both inside and outside the glass house, among the flowers.
All participants no longer concealed their inner malice and desires, doing as they pleased—killing, debauching, playing Xiangqi... The scene instantly devolved into extreme chaos and vulgarity.
At that moment, a woman in a black dress and wearing a lace half-fox mask walked into the central hall; she took measured steps on her high glittering heels towards the staircase not far away.
As the people nearby glimpsed her, a flash of bewilderment crossed their eyes before they looked away, continuing with their actions, seemingly completely oblivious to her presence.
