Chapter 956: Chapter 924: Xia Feng’s Malice and Killing Intent

Shi Li’s actions were undoubtedly a gesture of goodwill towards him, helping to preserve Huang Zhaoyue’s life.

It’s true that after Burning Heaven captured Huang Zhaoyue, they likely wouldn’t dare to kill her easily; the most they would do is imprison her and negotiate with Huang Ye.

But it’s better to be safe than sorry. What if this group of cult lunatics isn’t afraid of Huang Ye’s retaliation?

Xia Feng patted the shoulder of the leader in the green dress and nodded with satisfaction, “Little Li, you’ve done well; this Saint Heir is very pleased.”

“…..” Shi Li’s gentle smile remained unchanged, “As long as Your Highness is satisfied.”

Xia Feng was just about to say something else when he suddenly paused.

Come to think of it, if Huang Zhaoyue died, wouldn’t that mean successfully stopping her marriage to Huang Shikai… Xia Feng rubbed his chin, deep in thought.

In the Sumeru Realm, He Jianzhu had Black Crow Auntie deliver a message: Huang Zhaoyue and Huang Shikai’s marriage concerned the safety of the Dragon God and must be stopped—

So, the most obvious and effective way to stop it was through the death of one of the key figures.

If we can’t kill Huang Shikai, then killing Huang Zhaoyue would do!

As soon as he thought of this, Xia Feng looked at the black-and-white female silhouette on the ice bed, his dark eyes narrowing, his gaze becoming increasingly dangerous.

As long as this mother dragon, carrying the Abyss Bloodline and shrouded in mystery, dies, the crisis mentioned by He Jianzhu concerning the Evil Dragon Miss could easily be resolved!

Solving the problem at its root!

The deeper Xia Feng delved into his thoughts, the darker his eyes became, his gaze flickering obscurely.

“What—!” At this moment, the woman on the ice bed seemed to sense the looming crisis, her eyes suddenly snapping open!

Those fox-gray vertical pupils narrowed into needles, the chilling, deadly intent condensing into a tangible stream of light, bursting forth explosively.

“Boom!!”

Nearby, the faces of the Goddess’s close attendants changed slightly, retreating swiftly.

Shi Li remained calm, casually waving a hand to contain and suppress the energy fluctuation around Huang Zhaoyue.

Huang Zhaoyue’s graceful black-and-white figure suddenly lifted, hanging in the air, her pale-gray vertical pupils suppressing fear, like a lone wolf ever vigilant of its surroundings, coldly staring at the distant crowd.

Xia Feng’s expression remained unchanged as he quickly stepped out from behind Shi Li, smiling, “It’s your own people, Imperial Concubine. These aunts…and sisters are your saviors; don’t bite the hand that feeds you.”

Upon seeing Xia Feng, Huang Zhaoyue relaxed slightly, but her brows were still tightly furrowed. She could clearly sense a massive wave of malice and intent to kill that had abruptly awakened her.

Over the years, she had developed the habit of being constantly alert to anyone around her. Even knowing she was protected by the Abyss and no one dared approach, she never allowed herself to fall into a deep sleep.

As a result, through years of training, her sensitivity to malevolent thoughts had become extremely high. Even in her sleep, she could sense them, and any appearance of malice would forcibly awaken her.

The stronger the malice, the quicker she would wake up.

This time, the malice was at the highest level, directly threatening her life. Huang Zhaoyue coldly surveyed the surrounding people. Judging by their attire, they were all from the Goddess Hall.

Temporarily unable to identify the source of the malice, she wasn’t too concerned, having long grown accustomed to this kind of elusive malice over the millennia.

Fortunately, Xia Feng seemed to have a deep relationship with the Goddess Hall people. With him around, anyone with intentions might not dare to act.

“Now that she’s awake… Xia Feng, you all should leave.” Shi Li didn’t exchange too many thoughts with Huang Zhaoyue, speaking with a smile.

Xia Feng nodded, transforming back into a black cat and leaping onto Huang Zhaoyue’s shoulder.

As the head of the Beast Lords, Shi Li managed all the defenses on Burning Heaven Island; sneaking two people out was exceedingly easy for her.

Watching the woman and the black cat walk into the Great Sin Battleship, Shi Li softly bit her lip.

“Xia Feng, remember your promise. The Divine Lady only has three months; once the deadline passes, there will be no saving her.”

Xia Feng’s mind stalled for a moment; for a brief instant, he wanted to turn back and awaken Gong Changyi immediately.

However, reason ultimately triumphed over emotion, as it was necessary to be somewhat ruthless and thoroughly prepared when dealing with his pathological elder sister, Gong Changyi.

Once Huang Zhaoyue and Xia Feng boarded the Great Sin Battleship, it navigated through a secret passage and vanished without a trace.

Ye Lin chewed on a lollipop, standing beside the green-dressed leader, hesitantly asking, “Do you think he’ll come back?”

Shi Li’s gaze was calm, her voice soft, “Rest assured. You can tell he also harbors a special feeling for the Divine Lady; he’ll return.”

“Feelings? What feelings?” Ye Lin scoffed; she didn’t see anything of the sort, only seeing a little rascal trying to evade debt.

“More importantly, the relationship between the Saint Heir and that Empire’s Imperial Concubine… that’s much more worth noting.” Shi Li’s beautiful eyes gleamed with a hint of interest.

“Relationship?”

At the mention of this, Ye Lin’s lips curled up, quite pleased, “That’s one thing I did notice, the little rascal seems to have fallen for the Empire’s Imperial Concubine, haha~ What a pity, though, Huang Zhaoyue is already engaged and is supposed to marry soon. The little rascal will likely just be a pitiful admirer~~”

“…..” Shi Li’s beautiful eyes discreetly glanced at the pink-haired woman, ready to say something but eventually only sighed softly.

Everything about Little Ye is fine, and her talent is decent, with the potential to be my successor. But unfortunately, her brain isn’t quite sharp, and her observational skills are lacking…

She had clearly sensed just now that Huang Zhaoyue suddenly awoke because the Saint Heir suddenly harbored intent to kill her!

This was quite intriguing. Just a moment ago, the Saint Heir had been worried about Huang Zhaoyue’s safety, and the next, he wanted to kill her—what was the reason behind this?

Shi Li’s gaze was distant, quietly gazing into the starry sky.

*

Tenth District, Eternal Flow Sea.

A deep blue whirlpool appeared out of nowhere in the sea stream, and a dark battleship silently emerged.

Huang Zhaoyue stood at the center of the control room, her face pale. She steered the battleship for a bit longer, ensuring safety before setting it to autopilot.

Then she asked curiously, “What is your relationship with the Goddess Hall?”

“Imperial Concubine, I’d suggest you focus on healing. Knowing too much won’t be good for you.” Xia Feng played the riddler’s part.

“I’ve heard that the Goddess Hall has been searching for the Eternal Day Saint Child.”

Lost in thought, Huang Zhaoyue mused aloud, “For them to allow you to leave without objection, and even let me off Burning Heaven Island for your sake, your identity must be remarkable. So, are you the Eternal Day Saint Child?”

“…..”

Expectedly, there’s no fooling this mother dragon. Xia Feng chuckled, “Whatever you say, you claim I’m your father Huang Ye, I have no objections.”

“…..”

Seeing him speak so unabashedly and take liberties with her, Huang Zhaoyue pursed her lips, wanting to ask more, but her senses caught something, and she abruptly looked up.

The strange tree shadow pattern on the ceiling of the ship came to life again, its branches quivering, with golden light glowing at the center of each leaf, soft brilliance spreading like a starry sky scene.

The scent of divinity was descending!
