Chapter 1066 – Ten Days

The atmosphere in the little courtyard was peaceful. Feature went over to where Qin Yu normally sat and took a seat. She gestured with a hand, “Elder Ao Fa, please.”

Ao Fa walked over and sat down, “May I ask where miss came from? My Demon Dragon Clan can be considered experienced and knowledgeable, but never have I heard of someone so exceptional as you.”

Feature yawned, as if she wasn’t in good spirits. She vaguely said, “There is no need to probe me. And my origins aren’t important.”

She waved her hand and changed the topic, “You appeared in Great Deer City and also saw me. Are you telling me you haven’t felt it?”

Ao Fa remained expressionless. “I do not understand what you are trying to say.”

Feature curled her lips, “You old fellows that have lived for too long like to hide your thoughts. Since I spoke about it, of course I am confident in myself. Elder Ao Fa, it would be wise if we spoke honestly to each other so that we don’t waste each other’s time, right?”

Ao Fa was silent for several breaths of time. He slowly nodded and said, “Miss is correct. When I first saw you, I had a strong feeling that if I killed you I would receive a great harvest.”

Feature yawned again, “In truth, you can be even more straightforward.”

Ao Fa’s eyes were obscure as he said, “I could feel traces of fixation from the abyss’ will on your body.”

Feature snapped her fingers and smiled, “That’s right, this is it. I must say that as a dignified Elder of the Demon Dragon Clan who had obtained the approval of the abyss’ will, if you cannot realize such a small thing, that really would be disappointing.”

She rubbed her forehead and invigorated her spirits. Feature continued to say, “Let me ask you something. Elder Ao Fa, since you have sensed that the will of the abyss has locked onto me, why haven’t you attacked me? You should know that as long as you kill me the will of the abyss will surely grant you a great reward.”

Ao Fa shook his head, “We abyssal demon dragons might be proud of our bloodline and act arrogantly in many respects, but that doesn’t mean we are stupid. The abyss’ will has locked onto you yet hasn’t directly attacked you. To me, this in itself is the greatest warning. So how would I dare rashly attack miss?”

“Hehe, speaking with a smart dragon really does save effort.” Feature snapped her fingers again, “So you don’t dare to attack me, but you really want to attack me. And right now, I can give you a chance to move against me without doing anything at all…it’s a bit complicated, but you understand my meaning, right?”

Ao Fa nodded, “I understand miss’ meaning. Then what do you need me to do?”

“It’s simple. Once I vanish, the Demon Dragon Clan cannot hunt down or chase after that boy outside. Don’t try to feign ignorance with me. You and I both know who I am talking about.” Feature’s lips curved up in a smile, “Of course, this is just my first condition. After all, my value is high and I can’t sell myself short.”

Ao Fa was tranquil. “Of course. This is just a minor matter. The Abyssal Titan Clan has already been destroyed. Even if a part of their bloodline still exists in the outside, it cannot affect the Demon Dragon Clan.”

“Wonderful. Then I will put forth a second condition.” Feature thought for a moment before continuing, “For a reason I cannot tell you about, I promised to guarantee that this boy lives well in the abyss. However, he really likes to mess around and his ability to invite calamity is truly top class. So, my second condition is to give him a token of yours so that he can summon you in a time of danger.”

Ao Fa furrowed his eyebrows. He thought about it and slowly nodded, “I can agree to that. But as miss says, if the person he provokes is too great, so great that it will pose a threat to my own safety, then I can choose to refuse.”

Feature laughed, “No. Elder Ao Fa, it seems you don’t understand the current situation yet. I simply told you my condition, but that doesn’t mean I’m giving you room to bargain with me. Of course, you can choose to refuse me, but I am confident that I can find other partners for cooperation.”

These words were extremely rude and were a direct slap to the face, but Ao Fa didn’t lose his temper. His frown tightened and he thought about it for several breaths of time, “Good, I agree.”

Finger stretched out a finger, “Don’t be afraid. This is my third condition and also my last condition. I won’t make things too hard for you.”

Ao Fa’s heart twitched. If it weren’t for those strong words just now, he really might have believed her.

“Miss, please speak.”

“In the future, for certain reasons, that boy Qin Yu might intrude into places that he shouldn’t intrude into. This is only my guess and it won’t necessarily happen. But if it does, what I want you to do is to turn a blind eye to it. You don’t need to help him, but you cannot stop him either.”

Ao Fa revealed an awkward expression.”If he wants to enter the ancestral lands of my Demon Dragon Clan…”

Feature waved a hand, “Don’t worry. I can promise that this has no connection to your ancestral land.”

Ao Fa nodded, “Then there’s no problem.”

Feature reached out a hand, “Then I hope this cooperation goes well!”

Ao Fa heisted for a moment before shaking hands with her. When their palms touched, he froze in place as if he sensed something incomparably terrifying happen.

Feature released her hand and harmlessly smiled, “I trust that Elder Ao Fa will keep his word, right?”

Ao Fa understood her. He gulped and said, “That…of course. Miss, please rest assured that I will abide by our agreement.”

His voice shivered and his eyes tried to avoid her. It was obvious that this Demon Dragon Clan Elder had been genuinely frightened.

Feature’s smile brightened, “Great. Then I won’t keep you here any longer. Ten days from now, I will give you an explanation.”

Ao Fa stood up and bid his farewells. He pushed open the door and left the courtyard. Looking around, he locked onto Qin Yu not too far away. He walked over and raised a hand. Demonic light surged and a black, knuckle-sized block of jade-like material appeared.

“Take this. At any time in the future, you can use this to summon me once.” After handing the jade to Qin Yu, Ao Fa didn’t pause. He took a step forward and vanished.

Feature’s voice echoed out from the courtyard, “Qin Yu, come over! Let me inspect your current condition!”

When he came in, Feature’s eyes lit up as if she saw a treasure. She couldn’t help but cautiously stroke Qin Yu’s body. “An abyssal titan, a living abyssal titan! Although the bloodline isn’t too pure, you can be considered a living fossil of the abyss world.

“Go, go, go, I need to perform an interesting experiment on you. I want to see what secrets are hidden in the abyssal titan bloodline.”

Qin Yu stood there without expression, looking at her without saying a word.

After a moment and seeing him not move, Feature glared at him. Then she glared at him a second time, a third time…soon, she realized how firm Qin Yu’s heart was. She put on a helpless expression and said, “In truth, there’s nothing much to say. If you really want to know then wait ten days.”

Qin Yu frowned, “Why ten days? Feature, are you hiding something from me?”

Feature humphed. “Even the Elder of the Demon Dragon Clan silently holds in his grievances before me, and yet you dare to argue with me? I said ten days so it's ten days. If you keep on complaining, be careful that I might change my mind!”

“Fine! Ten days is ten days. At that time, you have to tell me everything!” Qin Yu quietly said.

Feature beamed with joy. “Yes, yes, everything will be as you say!”

She grabbed Qin Yu and pulled him into a room.

“Hurry, hurry, take off your clothes and lay down!”

Qin Yu: …

No matter how he interpreted it, these words didn’t sound right!

Old Fox and Shadowless Demon waited at the entrance to the courtyard. Their bodies were stiff and a cold sweat dripped down their foreheads.

The heavens and earth could bear witness that they really didn’t intend on hearing these words…they shouldn’t be eliminated to remove all potential informants, right!?

Carefully closing the courtyard doors, Old Fox and Shadowless Demon let out long breaths of relief. They scolded their subordinates to leave and also withdrew a certain distance themselves.

Who knew what would happen inside the courtyard? It was best to hide as far away as possible so that they didn’t provoke a fatal disaster for themselves.

After all, even an Elder of the Demon Dragon Clan had been suppressed when facing the two in the courtyard. If those two wanted to crush them, it would be far too easy!

Enduring the physical discomfort, Qin Yu gritted his teeth and cooperated with Feature to complete her strange experiments. Then, he hurriedly escaped.

It wasn’t that she put forth too many requests or that the process hurt. It was just that he found the entire thing too difficult to accept.

For instance…

Whatever. It was over anyway. In short, it was something that left one feeling uncomfortable.

For the next two days, Feature refined demon medicine in a completely mesmerized state. Even the heavens had no idea what she was doing.

Qin Yu was glad for this. And he could take advantage of this period of time to adapt to the changes of strength in his body.

The only bad thing was that Mian Ya had woken up already. He had no idea what Feature fed her but her injuries had been healed. At the very least, her daily movement was no longer hindered.

Her faintly resentful eyes appeared when she first saw Qin Yu. And they never left him again.

The Thousand Mirage Demon Mirror…the supreme treasure of their Nine-tailed Demon Fox Clan that had been inherited for countless years…that represented the future hopes of their entire tribe…

Had been taken by him.

It wasn’t stolen or suppressed. Rather, he had obtained the true approval of the Thousand Mirage Demon Mirror. In other words, unless Qin Yu took the initiative to give the Thousand Mirage Demon Mirror back to the Nine-tailed Demon Fox Clan, they would forever lose this treasure.

Thinking of this, the bitterness in Mian Ya’s eyes became heavier. This was because even an idiot knew that she couldn’t pull out a piece of fat that someone had eaten already.

In fact, Mian Ya was correct. This was because it was only with the Thousand Mirage Demon Mirror that Qin Yu was able to solidify the titan true body. Disregarding all else, just this alone was enough for him to thicken his facial skin and pretend that he didn’t see her.

As Qin Yu was withstanding Mian Ya’s lament and carefully exploring the power of the Thousand Mirage Demon Mirror, Old Fox came to visit.

He had no choice but to come. This was because Black Astral, whose bloodline had been drawn out by Feature, was now a lamp that had run out of oil. He wouldn’t be able to last much longer.

“Liu Huo…uh…I mean Your Excellency Qin Yu, Black Astral is on the verge of death. If possible, I ask you or Miss Feature to save him. I can guarantee you that if he survives, he will surely become a strong boost to you.”

Qin Yu slapped his forehead, feeling a bit embarrassed. After he returned to Great Deer City he had completely forgotten about this.

He opened Feature’s door and saw her face that looked as if it hadn’t gotten a single day of rest as well as her reddened eyes. After a brief surprise, he knew that she had also forgotten about Black Astral.

With a light cough, Qin Yu pulled her over and explained the situation. Feature slapped her forehead and said, “I forgot…it doesn’t matter though. Bring him over. I guarantee that he won’t die.”

As she spoke, she looked at Qin Yu’s body. For some reason he felt that she had some sinister intentions.

Qin Yu took a step backwards, “Hey, what are you doing?”

Feature smiled blindingly. “Black Astral had his bloodline drawn out to help you, so saving his life is also a responsibility you cannot avoid.”

“Come, enter the room with me. Once this matter is finished, it will also be time for us to leave Great Deer City and take a look at this endless abyss.”
