I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch

With the completion of the third Rule Chain, the silver-haired girl sitting on the scythe raised her hands in surprise.

Between the slight squint of her golden eyes, a thin, purple mist gathered around her hands, barely visible to the naked eye as slender threads.

"It seems that the power of the Heavenly Destiny Stone is much stronger than I had imagined..."

Loli Mu, lost in thought, glanced at the crystal of royal purple hue emerging from the adult's forehead.

Heavenly Destiny Stones were the subject of He Jianzhu's research, always kept within the core of He Jianzhu's laboratory.

She had long wanted to seize the opportunity to partake in this top-secret research, unfortunately, she was not permitted.

But now, it seemed that her future self had already managed to steal He Jianzhu's Heavenly Destiny Stone through some means, or perhaps she had created a new Heavenly Destiny Stone herself?

While Loli Mu was pondering, Mu Qingtong briefly explained the new ability to Xia Feng.

Xia Feng was still somewhat puzzled, "Even if you can control these Crying Witches for 2 seconds, how can you kill them?"

"Mr. Xia, in fact, the Crying Witches are not invincible."

Mu Qingtong spoke softly, "The reason Crying Witches always cover their eyes is because they also possess physical eyes which cannot close. When Crying Witches look at each other, they get immobilized, forever unable to break free."

"Also, their energy will be consumed at a million-fold acceleration, rapidly leading to their demise."

"Good grief, so that's how it is…" Xia Feng realized.

"Mr. Xia, Yue Hongli, listen to my commands from now on. Currently, these witches are too far apart and widely scattered, beyond the reach of my ability. So first, we must let them come closer..."

Mu Qingtong's plan was quite risky, but Xia Feng didn't hesitate. At her command, he and Mu Qingtong leaped into the air at the same time, while Yue Hongli changed back into a knife form.

Within the range of the Purple Mist, it was a no-fly zone; about five meters off the ground, a powerful force would pull one down.

As the two moved, sixteen witches, like specters, flashed through the thick fog, appearing around them in an instant.

Among them, two of the witches moved the fastest, reaching Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong and extending their hands toward them.

This was also part of the Crying Witches' process to assimilate humans. Once touched by their hands, one would become infected with the Disaster Poison, transform physiologically into a female, and rapidly petrify into a statue.

Of course, the moment they reached out was also when they exposed their weakness. Their eyes lacked protection, and if handled correctly, it was possible to make them look at each other, thereby killing them.

Unfortunately, these witches were intelligent.

Despite there being sixteen witches on the field, to avoid mutual eye contact, only two witches stepped forward while the others, still covering their eyes, stayed ten meters away, ensuring their two prey could not escape.

To an ordinary person, this would be considered a deadlock.

Unfortunately, these Crying Witches were facing the Destructive Witch!

"Squat down." At Mu Qingtong's thought, Xia Feng landed and immediately squatted down.

The silver-haired girl hovered above the two hooded figures, and as she lightly lifted her right hand, sixteen threads appeared in the mist, precisely connecting to the sixteen witches.

Her Magic Mist ability, although barely able to control the minor movements of the Crying Witches' limbs, was limited in effect but sufficient.

Half a meter away, the two witches reaching out to Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong had a smirk on their lips.

But in the next moment, controlled by the threads, they sidestepped slightly, their bodies turning slightly, and their gray eyes, streaked with terrifying blood, directly aligned their gazes.

As the two witches moved, the fourteen surrounding witches also slightly shifted their positions, with their hands covering their eyes forcibly lowered by the threads.

Like a 'matching puzzle game', Loli Mu precisely matched the sixteen witches to make eye contact.

Sixteen pairs of blood-streaked stony eyes faced each other; all were immobilized, yet their lips still curved in a sinister smile, creating a chilling atmosphere in the misty environment.

Seeing this, Xia Feng breathed a sigh of relief; it was another day being carried by a great leader.

"By the way, Miss Mu, what if there were seventeen Crying Witches?"

"Isn't there still Yue Hongli? If it's an odd number, then let your maid handle it."

"...." Xia Feng nodded, right, if there was an extra Crying Witch unable to be neutralized, then let Yue Hongli immobilize it, and the two of them could escape far enough before allowing Yue Hongli to revert to knife form, leaving the Crying Witch without a target.

[Through practical operations and research on the mist threads, Mu Qingtong further perfected the rules, and Loli Mu gained further understanding of controlling puppets, making your fingers more dexterous.]

[Magic Mist: Loli Mu can control the Magic Mist into threads, manipulating 'Demon Beings' to a certain extent (currently can control limbs, quantity limit increased from {20 to 40}, time limit remains 2 seconds)]

Huh? Xia Feng was stunned for a moment, his fingers nimble? Was this sync from Loli Mu?

Isn't something off here…

He could even sync with Loli Mu?

But if he could sync with Loli Mu, then even the "Magic Mist" ability should have synced over.

While Xia Feng pondered in confusion, the surrounding witches' energy was rapidly depleted, and soon, one by one, they crashed into purple ashes and vanished into the mist.

Boom, boom, boom...

One by one, colorful Yao Stones fell.

"Oh wow, monsters dropping loot..." Xia Feng picked up each Yao Stone.

A total of 16 Yao Stones, including 10 Earth Stones and 4 Fire Obsidians.

Mu Qingtong's Wood Stone and Xia Feng's Water Bright Stone each had one.

A bit few, Xia Feng looked up, "Miss Mu, how many more Yao Stones do you need for your Holy Release?"

"Guess." Mu Qingtong smiled lightly, took the Wood Stone, and threw the remaining 15 to Xia Feng.

Not going to say, huh... Xia Feng bowed his head and counted his Water Bright Stones, 82!

Great, there should be many Crying Witches on this island, each Crying Witch is a Yao Stone, gathering 100 Water Bright shouldn't be hard.

"Miss Mu, I have a request, though I'm not sure if I should ask."

Mu Qingtong responded, "You shouldn't ask."

"... I want to collect Water Bright Stones."

"Oh, then go ahead." Mu Qingtong looked up, held the Purple Heavenly Destiny Stone high, and the surrounding fog quickly surged towards the Heavenly Destiny Stone.

Xia Feng stood beside her, blinking, "Miss Mu, has anyone ever told you, you're very beautiful?"

"That's a fact, no need for compliments."

Just like you, so narcissistic! Xia Feng secretly rolled his eyes.

Mu Qingtong glanced at him, her beautiful face smiling lightly, "Mr. Xia, are you secretly cursing me in your heart?"

"Ha, how could I!" Xia Feng raised an eyebrow, "I'm an upfront person, if I wanted to curse you, I'd say it outright."

Seemed like she collected enough Purple Mist materials, Mu Qingtong retracted the Heavenly Destiny Stone into her forehead, turned around, her beautiful eyes curved slightly, "Mr. Xia, call me mom and I'll help you collect Water Bright Stones."

"Huh?!" Xia Feng was shocked, "What kind of weird taste is that!"

"You calling or not?"

"Hehe~ Miss Mu, dreams have everything." Xia Feng marked another wish in his heart, to make the Destructive Witch call him dad!

A very fierce thought he had.

"Let's go, Mr. Xia." After collecting the Heavenly Destiny Stone, Mu Qingtong stepped forward.

"Where are we going?"

"Aren't you wanting to collect Water Bright Stones?"

"Huh?"

"What do you mean huh, hurry up, Mr. Xia."

"Miss Mu, I must say, you truly are the most beautiful deity in this world, none can compare!"

Listening to Xia Feng's eyes shine with praise, Mu Qingtong pursed her lips and turned to walk into the dense fog.

Xia Feng quickly caught up, "Why are you walking so fast, Miss Mu? You seem more anxious to collect Water Bright Stones than I am."

"Mr. Xia, you're too slow."

"I call this moderation in life..."

The man's chattering and the woman's resigned soft voice gradually faded away, disappearing into the dense jungle shrouded in purple mist.
