Chapter 61 61. The Long River of Imaginary Numbers
"Your Highness, your greetings." Xia Feng placed his palms in front of his chest and performed a noble greeting.
Mu Qingtong held his arm, and her cold and pretty face always had a gentle smile.
Li Siwen glanced at Mu Qingtong, then at Xia Feng, and chuckled, "You and her are a good match. At least she's much better than my useless brother."
"Your Highness is joking." Xia Feng said calmly and slowly.
"Okay, seeing that you two are such a good match, I feel relieved. Go in." Li Siwen made way and gestured with a smile.
Xia Feng blinked. "Good boy, why don't you play by the rules? I thought you'd at least embarrass me and belittle me."
They all seem to be decent people.
A man and a woman walked slowly past Li Siwen. Li Siwen's smile faded and he watched the two people's backs gradually disappearing into the distance with a calm gaze.
"How are the preparations going?"
"Your Highness, everything has been arranged." The subordinate beside him whispered.
After taking the ladder all the way to the top floor and passing through the reception hall, Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong immediately attracted the attention of all the nobles. After all, their looks were so stunning.
As soon as they entered the banquet venue, a little girl in an off-shoulder evening dress ran straight up to them, staring at Mu Qingtong with her big, watery eyes.
"Mu, Mu Shen!"
Mushroom usually wears overalls and doesn't take care of herself much, like a tomboy. Now, with her light green curly hair draped over her shoulders and neck, and wearing a strapless evening dress and crystal high heels, she looks like a completely different person.
Xia Feng almost didn't recognize him.
Thinking of this, he quickly pulled Mu Qingtong back and said in a deep voice: "Be careful, this is a girl."
Mushroom's face flushed red, and he tilted his head and puffed out his cheeks in dissatisfaction, "Don't talk nonsense! I'm a fan, a fan who admires her!"
"What do you admire?" Xia Feng wondered. "Do you admire her singing?"
"!" Mu Qingtong's breathing stagnated slightly, and she glanced at Xia Feng with her beautiful pale golden eyes.
[After being provoked, Mu Qingtong gained some insights into the close-range neck-twisting technique. Your understanding of combat and assassination has also improved slightly—]
Xia Feng suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and his head was about to spiral into the sky.
"Okay, okay, Demon God Mu! I provoked you once and you had an epiphany, so don't blame me for provoking you every day from now on." Thinking of this, Xia Feng also glanced at Mu Qingtong.
Then the two of them stared at each other, sparks and lightning flashed when their eyes met, and neither of them blinked, as if whoever blinked first would lose.
Mushroom stared at the two people blankly, and suddenly felt a little redundant.
At this moment.
The noise in the magnificent and luxurious banquet hall suddenly stopped, and the surroundings fell into silence.
Everyone looked to the side and saw two guards wearing red tall hats push open the arched door and carefully retreat three meters away.
A woman wearing crystal red high heels walked slowly in from behind the door. She was wearing a crimson evening dress with a flowing and elegant skirt.
But what surprised Xia Feng was that the woman had a mysterious veil hanging on her cheeks, and her eyes were covered by a black silk ribbon.
"Princess, please follow me."
The guard stood three meters away, bowed and spoke respectfully.
The woman placed her hands in front of her abdomen and slowly walked into the high gate under the guidance of the guards. Although she could not see anything and had no one to support her, her steps did not hesitate at all.
"She is your stepmother?" Xia Feng asked curiously in a low voice.
"Yeah." Mushroom puffed out his cheeks and stared at the woman in the distance with his big eyes. At this moment, the woman in the distance seemed to have noticed something and turned her head to look at him. Her gaze under the black silk stockings seemed to be real.
Mushroom subconsciously took a step back and grabbed Xia Feng's clothes with his little hands.
"Your Majesty." The guard bowed respectfully, and a middle-aged man in a finely tailored crimson tuxedo and high boots appeared in front of the archway.
He waited until the princess walked away before he walked in.
Xia Feng looked around in confusion. He keenly noticed that with the princess's entry, the nobles around him quickly dispersed.
There was no one within a three-meter radius of the princess. Even the maid following behind her kept a tense expression and kept a distance of three meters.
"Is your stepmother scary?" Xia Feng asked in a low voice, "Why is everyone staying away from her?"
It's like having body odor.
"This is the rule set by my father," Mushroom explained in a low voice, "No one is allowed to enter the three-meter area, otherwise they will bear the consequences."
What kind of weird rule is this? Xia Feng was speechless. "Has anyone entered here before?"
"Of course there are. Everyone who enters." At this point, Mushroom was stunned, his eyes confused. "What happened? I seem to have forgotten."
Xia Feng looked at Mu Qingtong and found that there was a flash of light in her pale golden eyes, as if she was thinking about something.
Xia Feng raised his eyebrows, "What did you find out?"
"Me? Mr. Xia, I'm just an apprentice spiritual master, what can I see?" Mu Qingtong looked at him puzzledly.
“Heh~”
After a while, after the prince had said a lot of nonsense, melodious dance music sounded, and Mu Qingtong pulled Xia Feng to dance on the dance floor.
The two of them strolled along with each other, enjoying the leisurely and clear music.
"What exactly did you see? Could the princess be some strange evil beast?" As the distance between them shortened, Xia Feng leaned close to whisper in Mu Qingtong's ear.
The man's gentle and warm breath flowed into his ear canal. Mu Qingtong's golden eyes paused slightly, and his thin eyebrows subconsciously frowned, then relaxed again.
[Feeling strange, you pondered how to avoid hearing someone close to your ear. You've mastered the D-rank spirit garment's "Close Range Voice Transmission" skill.]
Her pretty face was calm and her voice was gentle: "Mr. Xia, please dance well and don't ask these inexplicable questions."
"Do you want to know why I was able to devour the Eri Sea that day on Bloody Street?" Xia Feng said with a smile.
Mu Qingtong held his strong waist with her right hand and held his fingers with her left hand. The two danced quickly and in perfect harmony.
Xia Feng suddenly found that dancing was quite simple. He had never participated in such a court banquet before, and naturally had never learned a duet.
While he was thinking, Mu Qingtong's voice rang out in his mind: "The princess is not a nightmare beast, but she is indeed related to the nightmare beast's imaginary river."
"A long river of imaginary numbers?" Xia Feng was stunned. "What the hell is this?"
"The ancestral river of the Imaginary King's Court is also the power of the Imaginary Emperor. Anything swallowed by the long river will gradually lose its sense of existence until it completely disappears in the long river of history and is forgotten by everyone."
Xia Feng was shocked as he listened, "What kind of outrageous ability is this?"
It's not just about physically erasing the target, it can also completely erase the target's existence from everyone's memory and related documents. In short, it erases all traces of the target's existence. It sounds like the "shielding of heaven's secrets" in the world of immortals.
"So what is the princess's current condition?"
"She has a strange force field with a radius of approximately three meters, connected to the Imaginary River. This is probably why Mushroom doesn't remember the consequences of getting close to anyone, because everyone who gets close disappears."
"But since she still remembers someone approaching, it means this force field isn't strong enough and has flaws."
"Interesting." Xia Feng pondered, "So why is there this force field around the princess?"
"You should ask her, not me."
"That makes sense. I'll go ask right now..." Xia Feng let go of her waist and was about to leave.
"Stop!" Mu Qingtong narrowed her golden eyes, and with her right hand covered in lace, she grabbed Xia Feng's body and pulled it directly in front of her, with their lower abdomens almost touching. Xia Feng's pupils dilated slightly, and her thin lips stopped half an inch in front of her tender red lips.
Under the warm yellow light, the atmosphere between the two people's lips and noses was a little weird.
