Chapter 386: then translation of chapter title

Main text Chapter 387 What if it's true? (7 more)

He Er Na sighed again, her heart full of emotion.

In the darkness, the two were not far apart, able to hear each other's heartbeat.

She said: "I suddenly feel that acknowledging you as my master isn't something shameful. Perhaps in the distant future, you could surpass the main god, become a god king, or even be stronger than a god king. By then, this might instead be an honor……"

"Uh……"

Xiao Feng felt embarrassed from the praise.

If Li Li and Zhang Fan praised him, he would surely accept it without hesitation, and even put on a show.

But He Er Na is an NPC, a god‑level existence in the game!

Her praise cannot be compared to that of ordinary players!

A god taken as a servant by the Holy Realm feels not humiliation but honor.

Such praise, even the main god might not necessarily enjoy.

This is recognition of him, and also a symbol of wholehearted conviction.

From this moment on, He Er Na truly regards him as her contract master!

"The outside is quiet; let's find a way out."

Xiao Feng changed the subject, afraid that if she kept praising him he'd blush.

"Um, I'll use the Spiritual Barrier to push up and fly out directly. Master, get ready for battle; after we go out, the demon god might already have arrived." He Er Na said.

Immediately she invoked divine power, propping up the Spiritual Barrier, breaking through the rock above, and drilling upward.

The Upper God's speed is great; although the distance to the three great demon kingdoms of the Abyss is considerable, the route to the Primeval Mountain Range is about the same.

At the demon god's speed, it would take at most half an hour, at fastest ten minutes to arrive.

He Er Na led Xiao Feng upward, drilling at a not‑fast speed.

The space inside the spherical Spiritual Barrier is just that big; the two are pressed together, their posture rather intimate.

Although they had no particular thoughts, being close they could smell each other's breath, which was still a bit awkward.

Xiao Feng put away the Doom Staff, switched back to the Fire God Staff, silently waited for light to appear, and prepared for battle.

He Er Na remained silent, as if earnestly drilling through the rock to escape.

But in fact her mind was uncontrollably pondering many questions.

This little mage of the Holy Realm, this young master…… in some ways is very outstanding.

Outstanding to the point that she

Her mind involuntarily conjured the two words "father god" that Dai Ni Si had blurted out earlier, and a strange feeling rose in her heart.

But whenever she thought that Xiao Feng was an adventurer, someone from a completely different world, that feeling would instantly fade.

"Adventurers are travelers in this world; they roam about, never truly taking anything here as real……"

"Sigh……"

A few thoughts flickered in her heart; He Er Na let out a soft sigh, then composed herself and returned to her indifferent demeanor.

After a few minutes, the two finally broke through the rock layer and returned to the surface.

A gray‑mist sky appeared before them; although a bit dim, it was still more comfortable than the pitch‑black underground world where one couldn't see five fingers ahead.

Xiao Feng put two layers of shield on himself, and the Stone Blade Armor was also ready at any moment.

But after returning to the surface, he saw no monster that could threaten him.

The two lifted off the ground and floated in the air.

A glance around showed that the Primeval Mountain had indeed collapsed; the once towering peak had been reduced by more than half, now hardly differing from the surrounding mountains.

The entire surface was in chaos, like a ruin!

A few monsters of levels 150‑200 wandered nearby, unsure whether their homes were destroyed, how to return, or simply gawking.

"Not a single demon lord, and the demon god hasn't come either."

He Er Na sensed the surrounding aura, frowned slightly, feeling something was off.

Xiao Feng asked: "Could it be that they don't know what's happened here?"

Apart from the Blood‑thirsty Demon God, other strong beings might not learn so quickly that the Primeval Mountain was destroyed.

As for the Blood‑thirsty Demon God, it's said his true body is already incapacitated, recuperating in Blood‑stained City, and he may not dare to come all the way for revenge.

That's why no strong ones have come nearby to cause them trouble.

He Er Na thought, then said: "Perhaps so. Master, should we leave now, or wait?"

"Not wait; my gains are already rich. I'll find a place to adjust my condition, then meet Dai Ni Si and go dig for the main god artifact!" Xiao Feng replied without hesitation.

Although he'd like to fight the three great demon gods, this need not be rushed; it can be done after defeating the envoys of the 24 Divine Nations.

Moreover, he now holds four Divine Soul Pearls; with proper cultivation for a day or two he can break through to demi‑god.

At such a time, of course the priority is to raise his strength!

"Hmm, okay, let's go."

He Er Na nodded, used Wind‑Control Technique to lift Xiao Feng, and they swiftly left the Primeval Mountain Range.

"Let's go straight to Rose Castle; I have some things to settle with Mirenya. You can also heal your wounds there and restore your condition to peak."

After leaving the Primeval Mountain Range, Xiao Feng pointed out a destination.

He Er Na's injury hadn't fully healed, and she took a hit from the Blood‑thirsty Demon God's avatar; her condition is not great now.

Give her time to adjust; Xiao Feng can also properly explain things to Mirenya, so she won't keep being lovesick and make everyone awkward.

Rose Castle is neither near nor far; He Er Na, carrying one person, rushes there at full speed, taking about fifteen minutes.

Along the way, nothing happened; she casually asked: "Master, that witch is so beautiful and so obsessed with you, why do you seem to have no inclination at all?"

Xiao Feng replied without hesitation: "She's an NPC, and the reason for her infatuation is bizarre—she fell for me at first sight with no logic; of course I can't accept it."

He then added: 'But she's actually pretty good to me; although I can't accept this unrealistic love, I also don't want to hurt her—just make things clear so she can see through.'

He Er Na seemed thoughtful.

'In the master's eyes, is she merely a virtual life?' she asked.

Xiao Feng nodded, then immediately shook his head, and said ambiguously: 'At first I thought she was just virtual data, but after experiencing many things, I also felt that many characters in this game, including you and Dai Ni Si, are very lively, as if real. So sometimes I think I should be more sincere, treating you as I would real people.'

'So you killed that other adventurer over a hundred times in a row just for Dai Ni Si?' He Er Na asked.

She was referring to Tianxia Wushuang.

Dai Ni Si had told her about that incident; although she hadn't seen it herself, she also remembered it vividly.

Xiao Feng chuckled: 'That incident wasn't entirely because of Dai Ni Si; I already had a grudge against that person, and that day's events were just the spark.'

'Oh...'

He Er Na nodded slightly, the light in her deep blue eyes swirling as if she were thinking about something.

After a moment, she asked: 'If one day you discover… that we are truly real people, what would you think?'
