I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch

Jiang Qiue hurriedly sensed her physical body.

Outside the castle, her physical body was indeed still standing in place, a full hundred meters away from the castle's grand gate, without drawing near.

But in the next moment, the scene of drifting snow transformed abruptly like an illusion, with the castle's grand gate that originally was a hundred meters in front of her physical body now appearing behind her at a distance of a hundred meters.

Her body stood in the center of the castle's inner courtyard, surrounded on all sides by countless Arrays lighting up.

Jiang Qiue's ethereal eyes suddenly narrowed, her heart filled with shock and confusion, How could this be possible?

Unbeknownst to her, the Snow Castle's domain had expanded by a full two hundred square meters, also forming an Illusionary Domain that ostensibly maintained the original size of the castle.

This caused her to believe, when she had teleported here, that she was outside the castle and completely failed to see any signs.

To accomplish this, an extraordinary amount of spiritual power was required.

Even though the Moon Holy Skill could provide a large supply of spiritual power to the Snow Castle, it could at most be at the Venerable level, not nearly enough to expand the castle by two hundred square meters while also casting such convincingly deceptive illusions to easily fool her.

This would require spiritual power of at least the Sage level.

This was probably the ability of the "Masked Person"....

Quite impressive indeed.

With this realization, Jiang Qiue recognized she had recently become increasingly lax in spirit, lowering her guard, which led to her current situation of being covertly defeated.

However… it was not yet a hopeless situation! As Jiang Qiue's physical body lightly lifted her beautiful eyes, her teal dress dispersed into butterfly flowers, reappearing instantly in the second-floor living room, merging with her other self.

Xia Feng once again fell into a state of powerlessness, his mouth parched and tongue scorched.

This was the second ability of the Queen Bee Curse—Honey Addiction coming into play, as long as Jiang Qiue was near him, with a mere thought, she could restrict his movement, and he would also develop a strong craving for honey.

At the same time, eerie teal and golden lines appeared on the nape of his neck, wrists, and ankles, quickly encircling his body like chains, leaving him levitating off the ground.

The woman in the teal dress had an expressionless, exquisite face, calmly staring at the two women in front of and behind the sofa.

"Ladies, if you intend to save him, angering me would not be a wise choice."

"Jiang Qiue, have you considered the possibility that provoking us might not be a wise choice either?"

Hearing Xia Feng's taunting words, she glanced sideways, stretched out her slender finger to hook up his chin, her ethereal eyes like calm, serene lakes, aloof and superior,

"Xia Feng, you should understand, opposing me will not end well. "

"So think carefully about whether you really want to leave me."

Xia Feng, currently afflicted with the bee poison, would suffer immensely without her honey—she knew all too well that no matter what, Xia Feng could not leave her now.

Seeing the woman still so arrogant despite the deep trouble, he almost felt like laughing, his thoughts shifted.

Just as Jiang Qiue was about to say more, she found herself unable to move her body, a flicker of surprise in her eyes as she raised her eyebrows to look at Xia Feng.

"How... how did you do this?"

But she barely asked before realizing herself—it was the Dragon Blood that had already fused with her that was causing the mischief!

Xia Feng was controlling her using the Dragon Blood as a medium!

No wonder she had suggested wanting to drink blood earlier, and this guy had barely resisted before agreeing!

"Silly fox, it seems you are still not cautious enough."

The boy shattered the chains on his body, once again revealing a cocky smile. Jiang Qiue's beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, with a mere thought, she prepared to activate her spiritual power to counter Xia Feng's manipulation.

But the next instant, that silently seated nun in the distance lifted her eyelids, and the terrifying spiritual power, like a glance from a supreme deity, charged directly into her mind, causing Jiang Qiue's cold eyes to suddenly constrict.

She had once been Nine-tailed, and though now far weaker than before, her spiritual power still far exceeded her current rank.

Yet faced with this masked persona, it was like an ant shaking a tree, completely overwhelmed by that astonishing glance.

Jiang Qiue's face turned slightly pale, no longer able to resist Xia Feng's Blood Spirit manipulation. The right hand she tried to lift toward Xia Feng's neck weakly fell, and she suddenly lost strength and collapsed, sitting on the cold porcelain tiles.

The black-haired boy looked down at her from above, his small hand unreservedly patted her cheek and chuckled lightly, "A piece of cake."

"!!"

In fact, Jiang Qiue was still somewhat dazed. Had she really been defeated so effortlessly?

She had originally prepared to battle fiercely with the numerous Arrays within the Snow Castle and then escape severely injured, but in the blink of an eye, Xia Feng straightforwardly subdued her, especially since she hadn't even had the chance to use her trump cards before being overwhelmed by the masked persona's sudden spiritual attack.

All her hidden trump cards were in vain.

"I didn't expect you to fall into my hands, Saintess Qiue."

The woman's gentle and soft voice arose. Jiang Qiue looked up, only to see the snow-skirted woman who had approached without her noticing, gently bending down, delicately lifting her fine jaw with a slender hand, observing her face for a moment with a faint smiling gaze, and then turned to the nun in question, "What do you think, how should we deal with her?"

The hooded nun slightly turned her face towards Xia Feng.

Xia Feng understood this gesture as a cue for him to make a decision, nodded thoughtfully, and glanced at a nearby Cha Naixue, "It seems you also have a grudge with her?"

Cha Naixue stared at the boy before her, smaller than her in stature, for a moment, somewhat dazed.

Xia Feng had already removed the fox mask, revealing his original appearance.

This young, adorable face was exactly like the one in her blurry memories, but now his gaze was cold, calmly staring at her.

Cha Naixue pursed her lips, her voice soft and gentle, "Um, I once stole a treasure from her, and she has seriously injured me in return, so we don't have a good relationship. Or rather, the relationships among the three Holy Daughters of the Black Moon Church are all not very good."

"Great, then you do it."

Xia Feng handed her a ruler, "Spank her, until she agrees to lift the Queen Bee Curse on me."

Cha Naixue slightly surprised, took the ruler, frowning, "Jiang Qiue is not someone who easily submits."

"I don't care." Xia Feng flashed a dangerous smile, "If she doesn't submit, then I'll just have to spank you."

".....!" Cha Naixue's graceful smile paused briefly, secretly gritting her teeth, this guy really held no sentiment for the past, even though they were childhood sweethearts!

With a resolute heart, Cha Naixue looked down at the green-skirted Saintess sitting before her with stormy eyes.

Jiang Qiue suddenly felt a chill, her legs under her skirt subconsciously tensed, her brows coldly furrowed, she said quietly, "Xia Feng, are you sure you want to corner me?"

Xia Feng raised an eyebrow, looking at the green-skirted woman, who still maintained a celestial calmness even in dire circumstances and smiled,

"So what if I am?"

Jiang Qiue's expression remained calm, a flicker in her eyes.

From her green sleeve flew out a pale cyan cylindrical wooden carving, carved with the words 'Xia Feng'.

The wooden carving hovered mid-air.

Jiang Qiue's ethereal beautiful eyes showed no emotion, her voice soft, "Divine Relic · Motherhood Branch, it can cause the recipient to develop a mad craving for a specific maternal figure. Xia Feng, would you like to give it a try?"

Xia Feng was surprised to find the 'Jiang' character tattoo on his side neck glowing cyan, linking with that wooden carving.
