Chapter 1035: Is there such a coincidence?

This tone…… seems rather gentle, with little killing intent?

Xiao Feng was a bit puzzled.

This venerable, judging by the name, should be Xiao Xuan Die's mother. Her daughter almost got beaten to death; shouldn't she be angry?

Such a calm tone is somewhat unreasonable!

But the other party has already spoken; if we run now, we might offend them deeply.

The venerable's methods are unfathomable; even fleeing to Mi Jing might not be safe, and they could be captured back in an instant.

Thus Xiao Feng steadied his mind, suppressed his shock, flapped his wings, and flew up from underground.

Returning to the surface again, the surroundings were a bowl-shaped giant depression pit, exactly the one he and Xiao Xuan Die had smashed out.

Xuan Die Venerable, the powerful one known as the Demon Emperor, stood beside the great pit.

Xiao Xuan Die, however, was no longer angry; she embraced the Demon Emperor's slender waist, buried her face against her side, and clung tightly.

Xiao Feng got a clear look at the Demon Emperor's appearance.

She looked to be in her mid-twenties, graceful and poised, with an otherworldly demeanor, possessing a beauty that could topple nations; between her brows lay a faint golden strange pattern, like flowers, like ancient script.

At this moment her feet were bare, hovering half a chi above the ground. Her attire was luxurious and splendid; her long skirt trailed behind, moving on its own without wind, swaying slightly.

In terms of looks, this venerable and Xiao Mi each have their own merits; both are flawless peerless beauties.

But her aura is even more mysterious and powerful, even overshadowing the charm of her appearance!

"Adventurer Xiao Feng, greetings to the Demon Emperor." Xiao Feng clasped his hands in a salute, his attitude neither humble nor arrogant.

Although a 2130-level venerable is strong, after all it's still within the game world; once the initial surprise passed, he quickly regained his composure.

After all, he had met the Creator God once and even shared tea; in this game there was nothing left more powerful.

"Xiao Feng."

"Xiao Feng," the Demon Emperor Xuan Die looked at him and said lightly, "You have great nerve, taking my daughter's nest and even wanting to kill her—aren't you afraid I'll seal you forever?"

Her stature was a bit shorter than Xiao Feng's; at this moment she hovered half a chi above the ground, just a little higher, allowing her to look down slightly at him.

Xiao Feng felt the pressure of her aura; this venerable-level boss was a little displeased. But this degree of displeasure hadn't reached the point of wanting to kill, so he asked a question, wanting to see how he would explain.

Xiao Feng said somewhat embarrassedly, "I didn't steal her nest; I was just joking earlier. As for killing her… that was purely a normal battle, with no grudge involved."

"You're lying! It was you who stole it!" Xiao Xuan Die lifted her face from her mother's, glaring at Xiao Feng with a face full of anger.

The little girl's angry look is cute, but I can't admit to a baseless charge!

He said innocently, "I only met her today for the first time—how could I have stolen her nest? Besides, I don't lack a place to live; why would I bother building a house?"

Heavens! Xiao Feng despises thievery the most in his life; he's no petty monkey king—if he needs something, he earns it by ability, not by theft!

"Do you truly not know, or are you pretending ignorance?" the Demon Emperor Xuan Die narrowed her eyes slightly, her expression somewhat displeased.

When her daughter met with mishap, the life-preserving seal was triggered; she rushed over immediately.

She discovered that the one who triggered the fatal blow was a mid-level God junior, which surprised her somewhat.

Out of curiosity about Xiao Feng's strength, she did not immediately strike to kill, merely giving him a small lesson.

But Xiao Feng's answer now was merely an excuse, gradually stirring her killing intent.

Xiao Feng said innocently, "What's there to pretend? If I didn't do it, I didn't—why would I act like a scoundrel? If your daughter needs a place to stay, I can build her one right now; why make it seem like I'm a thief?"

"Is that so?"

The Demon Emperor Xuan Die's lips moved slightly; she casually pointed forward and asked, "Then… what is this?"

As her fingertip lightly touched, Xiao Feng felt his hand as if out of his control; he opened his system backpack and took out the Great Void Ring.

Then he opened the Great Void Ring again and took out a pale golden object.

It was…… a huge silkworm cocoon!

"Immortal Silkworm Cocoon? Is the nest you mentioned referring to this???" Xiao Feng straightened his neck, widened his eyes, his mind full of question marks.

What the heck is this?

The Supreme Treasure he found while gathering riches in the wild—could it belong to this little girl?

How could that be!

What coincidence could there be in the world? Surely the Demon Emperor is just looking for an excuse to exploit him!

This is a fine thing that can be split into five portions of fourth-tier treasure 【Immortal Gold Spirit Silkworm Silk】, valuable beyond measure; this venerable surely has greedy thoughts!

Absolutely!

Besides, how did she discover the Immortal Silkworm Cocoon inside the Great Void Ring in his backpack?

And even took it out directly?

Unbelievable! Where is the player's privacy?

Xiao Feng was very displeased.

At that moment, seeing the Immortal Silkworm Cocoon, Xiao Xuan Die's eyes lit up; she exclaimed joyfully, "My little nest! My little nest has returned!!"

Then she leapt over and embraced the soft cocoon, which was a size larger than her body, and ran back to the Demon Emperor's side.

Xiao Feng's old face darkened.

So this mother-daughter duo teamed up to steal his stuff……

But after all, they are venerables, and the Immortal Silkworm Cocoon seems not very useful; just take it, I'll accept this time!

"You seem dissatisfied?" the Demon Emperor, seeing Xiao Feng's expression, asked.

Xiao Feng waved his hand: "No, no, it's just a trivial treasure; venerable, please take it. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

Saying that, he prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, as he moved his foot, the surrounding space was sealed, completely immobilizing him!

The Demon Emperor slightly shook her head and said, "It seems you truly don't know. Never mind, I'll take you to see where my daughter previously lived; then you'll understand."

Saying that, she waved her jade hand, and spatial ripples appeared.

Xiao Feng only felt his vision blur, and suddenly he appeared in another dense forest.

"How is it, still familiar? Do you remember?" the Demon Emperor's voice came from beside.

Xiao Feng looked around; this forest was just a forest, nothing special, he had no impression of it.

But soon, he understood!

Little Xuan Die carried the big silkworm cocoon into the dense forest, burrowing into a patch of thick low branches and leaves; Xiao Feng followed to have a look.

Behind this foliage-covered spot, lo and behold, was the very place where he had previously found the Immortal Silkworm Precious Cocoon.

"Er..."

He instantly felt embarrassed.

Could there really be such a coincidence in the world?

"This fucking..."

"Do you understand now?" Demon Emperor Xuan Die asked.

"I understand, uh, heh... sorry, I didn't connect those two things just now." Xiao Feng was extremely embarrassed, scratched his head, not knowing what to say.

Demon Emperor Xuan Die said calmly: "Although I am a Venerable, I have never liked bullying the weak with my strength. Now that the matter is clear, you should know I did not forcibly seize your belongings."

"Er, yes yes yes, no seizure, this originally belonged to your daughter, so it's basically returning it to its rightful owner." Xiao Feng replied.

Anyway, it's not some precious treasure; if it's lost, it's lost.

"However, you made my daughter homeless for days and even nearly killed her; this debt hasn't been settled yet." the Demon Emperor said again.
