Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 423 - 419: Xia Feng’s Resolve

"Did he give up on Goddess Qingyu for Goddess Qingxue? Is this guy insane?"

"Yeah, now with Goddess Qingxue’s status in the Sword Domain, surely he knows about it, right?"

"Pfft, don’t compare Goddess Qingyu to this country bumpkin. What’s she worth?"

"And that man, he’s just a mere Martial God, does he really think himself as something special?"

Xia Feng squinted and turned his head over, remembering the person’s appearance, and then casually wrapped his arm around Li Qingxue’s waist, ready to leave.

The registration staff behind them continued to shout obstinately.

"Goddess Qingxue truly has no foundation, following her won’t benefit you at all."

"Only by siding with Goddess Qingyu can you be heavily valued. She’s the future Divine King. Are you really going to offend Goddess Qingyu over some country bumpkin?"

"If you agree to meet Goddess Qingyu, I’ll only charge... no, I’ll even give you a hundred Lower Grade Divine Crystals, how about that?"

A look of anger flashed across Xia Feng’s face, and with a flick of his hand, a streak of Sword Qi shot directly at the registration staff’s face.

The staff panicked, seemingly not expecting Xia Feng to dare make a move here.

They must know, this is the North City District, though close to the outskirts, it’s still part of the city. If someone gets killed, the Divine Guards will surely punish them.

He scrambled to dodge and counterattack, but the Sword Qi seemed to have eyes, piercing directly into the staff’s mouth.

Xia Feng let out a cold laugh, watching the staff’s tongue get shredded by the Sword Qi, blood continuously flowing, and he growled softly.

"Since you can’t speak properly, you won’t need your tongue."

"This is just a warning. If you dare insult Qingxue again, no matter in the city or outside, I’ll take your life."

Having said that, he wrapped his arm around Li Qingxue and left.

After touring the Divine King City, Li Qingxue decided to take Xia Feng back to her boudoir.

The maid at the door saw Xia Feng, and her expression suddenly turned toxic and wary, as if she had received some intelligence.

Xia Feng squinted his eyes slightly, with a faint smile on his lips, as if not noticing the maid’s abnormality, ready to follow Li Qingxue back to the room.

The maid gritted her teeth, her expression fluctuating, and then stepped forward to stop Li Qingxue.

"Divine Maiden, you can’t keep making mistakes."

"The Divine King already knows you’ve been sheltering a man in your quarters. The resources previously given to you might even be taken back."

"You’d better cut your losses in time, kick this man out, and go cry to the Divine King. She might just have mercy on you since you’ve just returned and be lenient." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Li Qingxue’s face instantly darkened; her mother is enthralled by swordsmanship and indifferent to such matters.

Without someone adding fuel to the fire, she wouldn’t be angry.

What’s more, this maid’s words don’t even connect, doesn’t seem like someone looking for trouble with the Divine King.

So she’s being treated like a fool, coaxed into confronting her mother about these things herself.

By then, let alone resources, her mother might even lock her up again in a fit of anger.

Xia Feng tilted his head close to Li Qingxue, showcasing their intimate posture.

"Oh? During the day, Qingxue said only the three of us know about this, so how does the Divine King know?"

"Could it be you said something then?"

The maid’s body trembled, then she braced herself to speak, "Nonsense! I’m devoted to the Divine Maiden. I’ll accompany her to enter the Secret Realm, how could I be the one to speak out."

"You might be scheming for position here, the thief crying ’catch the thief.’"

"I’m telling you, Goddess Qingxue will never be with you. Give up your hopes."

As she spoke, she transmitted a message to Xia Feng, "Goddess Qingxue truly has no status in the Divine Domain, you’re better off currying favor with Goddess Qingyu; she’s the one in power."

Xia Feng squinted his eyes slightly, hiding his anger: "Oh? You dare speak of me like that!"

Li Qingxue next to him recalled something, her face suddenly carried a hint of struggle, then she tugged on Xia Feng’s sleeves lightly shaking her head.

Xia Feng frowned, seemingly puzzled, then heard Li Qingxue coldly addressing the maid, "Stop deceiving me. My mother is currently in seclusion. Unless the Secret Realm opens, she won’t pay attention to such trivial matters."

The maid’s face froze. She had forgotten about this, but letting Xia Feng go, she was clearly unwilling.

After all, during the day, Li Qingyu had sent word to her saying that if she could trick this man under her command, she’d give the maid an Upper Grade Divine Crystal.

"Goddess Qingxue."

The maid’s face was now even more steadfast, evidently carrying a bit of urgency: "Goddess Qingxue, I’m doing this for your own good."

"Stop being stubborn."

Li Qingxue gave her a cold glance, then without a word, she led Xia Feng into her room.

The maid unwillingly took a step forward, seemingly wanting to continue persuading inside, but Li Qingxue slammed the door shut.

If not for the maid’s quick reaction, her high nose might have been crushed.

The maid looked at the closed door, with Array Divine Power faintly showing on it, while her nose wasn’t pressed, her anger was about to warp it.

She inwardly cursed Li Qingxue and Xia Feng for not appreciating kindness, then hesitated and transmitted an obscure message to Li Qingyu.

Standing in the room, Xia Feng looked at Li Qingxue, somewhat puzzled: "A mere maid, why not let me kill her?"

Li Qingxue shook her head: "The Secret Realm is about to open, the Sword Talisman is already bound to her Divine Soul aura."

"If I kill her now, and bind the Sword Talisman to someone unknown, the risk is too great."

Xia Feng paused, not knowing the intricacies before.

Even so, he looked outside the door with a touch of killing intent. After a long while, he finally spoke: "Let this treacherous wench live a bit longer."

After saying that, he gathered his anger, turned around, and looked at Xia Tianming meditating in the lounge.

The three of them exchanged glances, then entered the Dream Realm Pearl together.

After a night’s cultivation, Xia Feng’s aura became slightly purer, yet breaking through the Martial God Realm seemed difficult.

The shackle upon him was like a chain, forcing him to constantly refine his aura without breaking that layer of constraint.

Xia Feng withdrew his Divine Sense, unable to help but sigh softly.

He had cultivated far too many Great Dao.
