Chapter 1246

The tempering effect of the war law includes four aspects: vitality, divine essence power, divine power resistance, and increased physical damage.

After a period of secluded cultivation, Xiao Mi has thoroughly tempered her body with the power of the law, her attributes have greatly increased across the board, and she is now an outstanding among lower-tier Supreme Gods.

"Master, war will break out again soon; how do you plan to fight this time?" Mi asked Xiao Feng a question.

The Territory War will start in about ten days; as the Lord of the Divine Nation, she cannot avoid it and must join the battle again.

Although her strength has increased considerably, the players are also growing rapidly; once surrounded, defeat is still inevitable.

Moreover... Xiao Feng is now also the Lord of the Divine Nation, and he doesn't know what will happen.

He replied: "We'll see when the time comes; I can't say specifics. By the way, your equipment hasn't all been replaced with Supreme God Artifacts; I happen to have some left over, I'll give them to you."

Xiao Feng glanced at her equipment; she only had five Supreme God Artifact–grade items, which was truly shabby, not even as fully equipped as Lao Zhang and the others.

He took out several Supreme God Artifacts and Perfect Supreme God Artifacts suitable for a warrior class, with decent stats, and directly equipped her using the management interface of the Contracted Servant.

"Oh dear, Master!"

Mi's pretty face instantly flushed.

Because the equipment was forcibly donned, the system stripped away her clothing, leaving only a thin strapless bandeau to protect her vital spots.

After about a second, the Supreme God Artifact armor and helmet from her equipment surfaced, covering her snow-white skin.

Xiao Feng caught a sudden glimpse and couldn't help laughing: "Shouldn't you wear an undergarment beneath the armor? How are you dressed so lightly?"

"I... at home I cultivate and don't fight, so of course I integrate the Supreme God Artifact into my body and wear light clothing." Mi explained bashfully.

Players have an equipment slot; within the safe zone of Chengshi, they can switch to "leisure mode," hiding their equipment and changing into pre-set leisure attire.

NPCs have a similar ability, except they fuse their equipment into their bodies and manifest it only when needed.

Meanwhile, their everyday clothing exists separately and cannot be stored in any function interface.

Seeing this usually stern-faced, heroic female war god reveal a shy, little-girl demeanor before him, Xiao Feng couldn't help feeling a bit pleased.

At this moment the door was closed and no outsiders were around; he couldn't help teasing: "At home you should wear something comfortable; if you don't like these armors, I'll take them back."

Saying that, he again used his master's authority to take away her equipment.

"Ah... Master, don't!"

Mi's armor vanished instantly; she cried out in panic and hurriedly picked up the skirt that had fallen to the ground to cover herself.

"Tsk tsk~"

Xiao Feng wore a mischievous grin: "Your figure is truly excellent; no wonder you're one of the three great beauties of Shen Jie."

Having been teased like that, Mi almost burst into tears, flustered and embarrassed, saying: "Master, please don't toy with your servant; quickly return my armor..." As she spoke, she shrank back, resembling a frightened little rabbit.

"How is this teasing? It's blatant hooliganism." Xiao Feng gave a hehe laugh, shamelessly said, feasted his eyes for a minute, then finally re-equipped her.

Mi let out a breath, arms wrapped around herself, gave him a resentful glance, and muttered softly: "Rascal..."

"Huh? Does the little maid have objections to her master?" Xiao Feng raised his eyebrows, adopting a posture as if to strip her equipment.

Mi hurriedly shook her head: "No, no! I dare not; my master is wise and mighty, I hold you in utmost reverence, I dare not have the slightest dissatisfaction!" Fearful he would not return her equipment.

Xiao Feng's mouth twitched slightly; he tapped her metal helmet and said: "Don't be so nervous; I'm not a flood beast, why are you so afraid of me?"

Mi lowered her head, pouting: "I definitely am; my life is in your hands..."

Xiao Feng chuckled: "I couldn't possibly kill you; who would bear to harm such an adorable Xiao Mi?"

"It's not that I don't want to hurt you, but I do enjoy bullying you. You even took my weapon for barbecue and stripped off her... armor, hum."

Mi spoke in a resentful tone, like a put-upon young daughter-in-law.

If she were in front of others or out in broad daylight, she would certainly not speak in such a tone.

But here there's no one else, just master and servant, so some words can be spoken without restraint.

Furthermore, Xiao Feng's attitude toward her has been improving over time, growing more indulgent; she has come to believe he would not harm her. In this situation, having just suffered a slight grievance, she couldn't help wanting to speak up.

"Are you being coy? Even the mighty War God can be coy~"

Xiao Feng was amused by her adorable look, couldn't help moving closer, personally reaching out to pull off her helmet.

The visage beneath the helmet could make a hundred flowers lose color, causing the stars to dim.

While removing the helmet, he accidentally touched her hair tie; her silver-white long hair instantly loosened, cascading down like a waterfall over her chest, shoulders, and all the way to the ground.

This scene was truly exquisite.

"Master, don't..."

Mi saw his gaze was somewhat odd, as if it had stirred some improper thought; she panicked, stepped back, and said in a clear voice: "I still need to cultivate in seclusion; Master, if you have no pressing business, may I leave first?"

Xiao Feng had originally wanted to pat her head and tease her beautifully defined little mouth, but he hadn't expected her to anticipate it.

He replied: "I do have business; we hadn't finished chatting earlier. It's all your fault for bringing up the Territory War, which threw off my train of thought."

Mi pursed her lips.

Clearly it was his own lustful thought, yet he blames others...

But she daren't say it out loud, replying: "I acknowledge my fault; Master, please hurry and speak of the matter."

"Shouldn't the next line after 'I acknowledge my fault' be a request for the master to punish me?" Xiao Feng remarked.

Mi simply pretended to be deaf and mute, acting as if she hadn't heard.

If she dared to say 'please punish me, Master' at a time like this, they'd likely start fighting the very next second!

She is merely a low-level Supreme God over level 500, unable to contend with a master skilled in tricks, and thus dares not take up his conversational thread.

She assumed a stern expression, eyes wide open, sitting bolt upright, suppressing the unintentionally revealed little-girl demeanor and restoring the imposing aura of a female war god.

Seeing her fierce demeanor, Xiao Feng's mischievous intentions faded considerably.

He then said: "There's still something I haven't told you; I recently participated in an event where I met a human Primordial Ancestor, a Dao Ancestor–level expert who masters the war law, identical in appearance to the Dao Ancestor phantom we previously saw on the Myriad Heavens Battlefield."

Upon hearing this, Mi was instantly stunned.

"Is what you say true, Master?" she asked in disbelief.

"Yes, he also bestowed power to help us defeat a level-2500 Venerable–level expert. This Dao Ancestor's title is Sovereign of War Rules, Da Yi." Xiao Feng replied.

"This..."

Mi was stunned for a moment, couldn't believe that such a thing would happen.
