I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 159. How dare they humiliate the Holy Maiden like this?
After settling 300 people in the underground experimental base, Mu Qingtong led the two back to the surface.

The ground was no longer a sea of ​​flowers, but a towering forest.

"This forest used to be He Jianzhu's experimental site for creating clones,"

Mu Qingtong pointed into the distance, "And under the tallest tree in the northwest, the spiritual materials we need should be buried."

"A replication experiment?" Xia Feng asked in surprise. "What is this?"

Mu Qingtong paused and slowly explained, "I don't know the specific details. I only know that He Jianzhu has many clones of herself. She will put hundreds of clones into this forest and bury various spiritual materials in the forest so that the clones can fight and kill each other, thus quickly advancing from apprentice to the second, third, or even fourth level."

"Whoever reaches the fifth rank first will have the opportunity to obtain a number and become one of He Jianzhu's."

Mu Qingtong spoke calmly, but Xia Feng and Chana Xue listened with trepidation. This He Jianzhu... it sounded so terrifying.

So she can mass-produce fifth-tier items? Xia Feng couldn't help but recall when he met his mother-in-law at the Yuanhe Orphanage. No wonder Mu Qingtong asked her what number He Jianzhu was.

"So how many numbers does He Jianzhu have in total now?" Xia Feng asked curiously.

Mu Qingtong shook her head: "I've only ever seen one 'He Jianzhu' come out of this forest, but I don't know what her number is."

"Is that so?" Xia Feng pondered. "It seems that mass-producing fifth-tier equipment is still impossible, but it's pretty close."

As they spoke, the three arrived in front of the giant tree.

"When He Jianzhu left, he probably took all the spiritual materials with him, but there was a piece of white jade wood growing at the base of this tree that he couldn't take with him. Now, ten years later, it should have developed into white jade glass."

"White jade glass is very fragile. It will shatter if it touches spiritual particles or hard objects, so the only way to dig it out is by hand."

Hearing Mu Qingtong's explanation, Xia Feng nodded and turned to look at the Holy Maiden.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Chana asked, frowning.

Xia Feng smiled slightly: "Sister Naixue, as my female slave, you should be aware of your place."

As he spoke, he pointed to the base of the tree, "Hurry up and dig a hole."

"!!!"

Cha Nai Xue's eyelids twitched, and she pursed her lips, looking expressionlessly at the woman in the black dress beside her. She said in a low voice, "Miss Mu, this is your spiritual material. Do you think it's appropriate for me to dig it up?"

Mu Qingtong looked at Xia Feng with some confusion. A female slave? Wasn't Cha Nai Xue Xia's childhood sweetheart? How did she become a female slave?
However, since she could get Chana Yuki's help, she naturally didn't want to get her hands dirty. Her eyebrows curved, and her voice became gentle:

"It's indeed not very appropriate, but if Your Excellency is willing to help, then I'll trouble you."

"?" Are you even speaking human language? When did I say I was willing to help?! Cha Nai Xue's small face was expressionless as she was about to say something, but when she met the unblinking eyes of the two scoundrels in front of her.

She immediately stopped talking, and a gentle smile curved her lips as she said softly, "Indeed, Miss Mu is probably a little afraid of getting dirty, so let me do it."

Without further ado, she went to the tree, took off her thin gauze gloves, and rather inelegantly squatted down to start digging a hole by hand.

Xia Feng raised an eyebrow, surprised that Cha Nai Xue was so decisive. This made him feel embarrassed and guilty, and he began to wonder if it was wrong of him to bully her like this.

Thinking of this, Xia Feng slapped his forehead, almost forgetting that using retreat as a tactic was a common trick Cha Nai Xue used when she was young. "So, how did she become your slave?"

Xia Feng turned his head at the sound and saw the woman in the black dress staring at him with a smile.

"Well, didn't I save Chana's life several times before?" Xia Feng shrugged. "She was very grateful to me, saying that she could never repay such a life-saving grace, and that she could only repay it by serving me like a slave for the rest of her life. So, I had no choice but to sign a slave contract with her and become her master. Sigh, I couldn't refuse even if I wanted to, she was just too enthusiastic."

"Okay, I understand, you can shut up now." Mu Qingtong had already realized that this guy was talking nonsense again, and she was too lazy to listen to his ramblings anymore.

As the two chatted, the woman in the snow-white dress, who was squatting under the tree digging a hole by herself, seemed to be shrouded in shadow, exuding an anime-like aura of resentment.

She overheard Xia Feng's nonsense, including the claim that she had actively begged to become his female slave!
"Damn it, damn it!"

"Xia Feng, you just wait!"

Driven by her grief and anger, Chana Yuki sped up the digging process.

however--

Just then, a startled shout came from the dense forest behind: "Holy Maiden? What are you doing?"

Chana Yuki froze, her expression slightly pausing as she focused intently on digging the hole. Why did that voice sound so familiar?

Ye Lixing's eyes blazed with fury. He had just found the Holy Maiden when he saw her kneeling in utter humiliation before Xia Feng, her hands covered in mud, while Xia Feng stood behind her. He couldn't see Xia Feng's eyes, but they must have been incredibly wicked!
He couldn't even imagine what Xia Feng would have done to the Holy Maiden in this forest if he had arrived any later!
Fortunately, although he traveled leisurely along the way, stopping frequently, he still managed to arrive just before the saintess was about to be violated!

Chana Yuki realized what was happening and stood up abruptly. Her embarrassed expression quickly returned to its coldness as she turned back and frowned at the three people who emerged from the dense forest.

Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong also turned around.

The man in golden armor stood tall and proud, his gaze cold and sharp: "Xia Feng, how dare you humiliate the Holy Maiden like this! Are you courting death?"

The groundhog standing nearby sensed something was amiss. Why was the Black Moon Knight suddenly concerned about the Saintess's safety?

"Brother, we're here to capture the Holy Maiden. You're not going to betray us, are you?"

"Don't worry, I know what's important and what's urgent," Ye Lixing said calmly. "Here's what we'll do: I'll deal with Cha Naixue, and you two can handle the other two. Just don't lose."

"Lose?" The two men in black robes grinned and chuckled.

The three discussed their matter as if no one else was around. Two of them wore blood-eyed masks, and each of their blood-eyed masks had two tadpole-shaped magatama rings around the center, making them look like people from the Burning Heaven Temple.

According to Xia Feng's observation, the masks of the Burning Heaven Temple are also different. The higher the status of a person, the more tomoe they wear on their mask. For example, a mask with two tomoe indicates a spiritual pressure level of about level 2 or 3.

With Ye Lixing added, there are at most three third-tier spirit masters, so dealing with them shouldn't be too difficult.

Ye Lixing walked over slowly, smiling earnestly, and said, "Holy Maiden, you can't escape. Why don't you surrender and come back with me? With me protecting you, the Archbishop will spare you any harm out of respect for me—"

"So much nonsense."

Before he could finish speaking, Cha Nai Xue coldly whispered something, and a giant purple eye unfolded behind her, with a thick beam of purple lightning blasting straight at Ye Lixing's face!
