"One, two, three... thirty-four, thirty-five stones?" Xia Feng was shocked, and after counting again, there were indeed 35.
[Currently possessing Ember Stones: ( 35) 299]
What kind of heaven-defying luck is this? Was he born with good fortune, or is there so special way to search?
He looked up questioningly: "How did you find so many?"
"Hmm? Just like you, I searched normally." Yue Hongli blinked, puzzled, "Do you think it's too few? Then I'll go find more!"
"....."
Xia Feng didn't stop Yue Hongli but followed her, intending to observe her natural good fortune.
Strangely, for the next half day, they couldn't find another Ember Stone.
Does luck have a ti limit?
Why was luck so good in the first ten days, but now it's not?
Xia Feng furrowed his brows, pondered for a mont, and seed to realize sothing. He returned to the cave, letting Yue Hongli act alone.
Sure enough, two hours later, Yue Hongli brought back another Ember Stone!
What incredible luck! Xia Feng admitted defeat and finally understood that he might naturally carry bad luck, and being with Yue Hongli counteracts her natural good fortune.
Of course, it's not completely counteracted.
Yue Hongli's good fortune was stronger, so much so that he would be a bit luckier in whatever he did.
Thinking of this, Xia Feng subconsciously touched his chest, feeling the thumping of the Evil Demon Heart, frowning deeply.
This thing... natural bad luck?
He couldn't help but recall, more than a year ago, the night before he was about to activate the Evil Demon Heart, he was hit by a car on his way to find Miss Mu and was sent to the hospital, almost unable to bond with the Destructive Witch — truly unlucky.
As he pondered, Xia Feng looked up again, thoughtfully staring at the tall woman in front of him.
Yue Hongli tilted her head, her crimson pupils blinking with curiosity: "Hmm?"
"Yue Hongli.... Yue Hongli...." Xia Feng mumbled, "By the way, who gave you this na?"
"The na? It was given by Heng. Heng said my original na 'Gui Shen' was really unpleasant and eerie."
The crimson tuft on her head stood up as she explained, "Heng's surna is Yue, and she said since I'm a lucky carp, and I'm all red everywhere, she nad Yue Hongli."
"....."
Well, what a straightforward naming thod.
"What's the matter, master? Is there a problem?" Yue Hongli's voice was actually a bit indifferent, but her confused expression was sowhat naive.
Xia Feng shook his head and stood up, sighing before laughing: "Nothing, just suddenly realizing, Little Li, your thigh is still the best, you're the true wealthy boss!"
"Thigh? Best?"
Yue Hongli was puzzled, her fox-like eyes blinking, she looked down at her own... yet found she couldn't see it, so she had to hold her chest to finally see her long legs.
So the master likes to lick here?
But, is it the best?
She didn't know how it slled?
And when the master and mistress did their ...thing, she never saw the master lick there either.
She thought about it, then looked up and seriously explained: "Master, if you want to lick, you probably won't taste anything. After all, I don't have a physical body now. However, I can simulate any scent. Do you want to try licking?"
"???"
"....."
Xia Feng's gaze instinctively drifted to the woman's red-skirted long legs in front of him. Holding his forehead, he closed his eyes. Never mind, there's no ti to correct her understanding of the term 'hugging the thigh,' much less ti...
Business cos first.
He retrieved the number 9 authority and picked up the last Ember Stone.
[Currently possessing Ember Stones: ( 1) 300]
Information surged into his mind.
[Currently in the third round, a player has already collected 300 Ember Stones first! The position of the Red King Exposure Card is announced—]
Blood Thunder Sky Sea, Divine Sun Canyon.
Around the heavenly light pillar, seven Holies were stunned for a mont and looked up.
"Hehe, that Right Wing Crown acts fast now." Lady Mi chuckled lightly, "In just sixteen days, they managed to accumulate such a high number, quite impressive."
Huang Zhaoyue frowned slightly, puzzled in her heart. Could Xia Feng have really reached an agreent with Yophiel?
But indeed, in this situation, dropping their enmity and forming an alliance to gather as many Ember Stones as possible was the best choice.
But neither Xia Feng nor Yophiel would honestly ally to the end.
It was even more impossible for just sixteen days to have completed the accumulation of 300 Ember Stones.
Unless... one person's Ember Stones were entirely taken by another, thinking of this, Huang Zhaoyue's fox-grey eyes narrowed slightly in contemplation.
Jinyang Tian and Jin Shiyin also realized this problem.
Jin Shiyin chuckled lazily, "Seems that mysterious Black Spade is dead after all, what a pity, hehe."
No one responded to his words, and uninterested in the matter, the Black Moon Pope slightly raised his eyes before returning his attention to studying the Jinyang Divine Domain. That ninth seat was just there to make up the numbers, so dead is dead.
Xia Feng didn't know he had already been defined as a dead man, but now he really did feel like dying.
[The location of the Red King Exposure Card is announced—Heavenly Realm. Coordinates: 87.13.01]
[The exposure limit for this round is: 30 minutes (end of card limit can enter the settlent stage)]
Seeing the words Heavenly Realm.
Xia Feng's heart sank.
Exhausted, let it all end! He rubbed his aching temples, pacing anxiously in the quiet cave, taking a deep breath, furrowing his brows into the character for 'river', "Damn, what should I do now?"
This situation he hadn't anticipated.
The Red King Exposure Card is actually in the Heavenly Realm!
If he doesn't get the Red King Exposure Card, he can't initiate the Red King Exposure stage, nor can he enter the settlent stage.
Now with the advanced Luck Card draw failing, he can only activate the purchase Plan B for Outer Realm Descent.
But without entering the settlent stage, even if he accumulated 300 Ember Stones, he couldn't buy Outer Realm Descent, nor summon Miss Mu.
It's a complete deadlock.
And the root of this deadlock is the Heavenly Tribulation of the Heavenly Gate.
The Heavenly Realm only actively opens in the fifth round, and entering the Heavenly Realm earlier, for Xia Feng, the only way is to forcibly withstand the Heavenly Tribulation Barrier between the Heavenly Realm and the Nine Domains and break in.
That barrier, nad 'Extre Nine Heavens Tribulation,' was originally a Law Barrier set by Heavenly God Gu Yi to prevent spiritual energy from leaking out of the Heavenly Realm,
but later, as the laws of the Suru World gradually perfected, the Heavenly Gate Law Barrier began to automatically evolve, becoming aggressive. As for the power of its aggression...
With that in mind, Xia Feng stopped abruptly, turned to the cave entrance,
In the thin fog in the distance, the majestic Golden Mountain Range still stood above the sea of clouds, higher still, the Void Heaven Divine Gate glead with golden light.
"Heavenly Realm...." Xia Feng murmured, his black eyes narrowing, a sharp glint reflecting in his pupils.
Since all the issues lie in the Heavenly Gate's Heavenly Tribulation.
Then—
"Strike the Heavenly Gate!"
Xia Feng quickly ca to a decision, he turned back and said: "Little Li, you continue to search for Ember Stones in Calamity Land, I, will be back soon."
Ti was limited, and he didn't dare delay any longer. After speaking, he flew off into the distant sky.
