Chapter 790: 758. Foolish woman
"So, this is the perfected authority ability·Fox Fairy after your tail was severed?" Xia Feng's dark eyes narrowed slightly.
At that moment, Xia Feng suddenly understood why he couldn't use Star God and Dragon God abilities, but could use the Evil God series instead.
Because the ability contained in the Evil Demon Heart existed not because of him, but independently. On the other hand, the abilities of the Star God and Dragon God systems existed either because of Mu Qingtong or because of him.
Seven years ago, Mu Qingtong hadn't learned so many Spiritual Clothes, nor had he obtained the Pale Bloodline.
So when returning to the historical remnant images of seven years ago, neither Spiritual Clothes nor Spiritual Artifacts could be used.
In thought, not far away.
A tall girl was striding across the lawn, her short white silk skirt fluttering lightly in the wind, with shoulder-length hair dyed pink at the tips. Although she looked young, her outfit was breezy and very bright.
"I was wondering why I couldn't find you, how did you end up here?" The breezy girl muttered, arriving by the swing.
The girl in the white dress withdrew her gaze from the distance, turned back, and smiled faintly, "It's quiet here, and there's wind."
This familiar scene reflected in Xia Feng's dark eyes, instantly triggering buried memories in his deepest mind, scenes flickering one after another.
The girl in the white dress was none other than Cha Naixue.
The breezy girl was... Xia Feng frowned, unable to quite recall, only remembering that the girl seemed to be named 'Lin Simiao', a close friend of Cha Naixue? Moreover, in his memories, Lin Simiao hadn't left a good impression, as she had even given him nightmares once.
Lin Simiao glanced at the seven or eight bundles of fresh flowers scattered on the swing and curiously asked, "Those young masters are being attentive again?"
The girl in the white dress gave a slight nod and said nothing more, simply closing her eyes to quietly savor the refreshing breeze on her face.
She liked the wind because the particles carried within it often contained vast information.
That sensation, where all the world's information flowed with the air and surrounded her with the breeze, felt under her control, omniscient.
It was quite enchanting.
"Nai Xue, haven't you considered accepting one to try? I heard that the third young master of the Mo Family is also pursuing you."
Lin Simiao's soft laughter sounded in her ears again, and Cha Naixue frowned slightly, opened her eyes, shook her head and said softly,
"Not interested, father wouldn't let me be distracted by such trivial matters either."
As she spoke, her gaze drifted into the distance.
On the swing opposite sat a black-haired boy, who appeared to be about 12 years old with a rather juvenile and adorable appearance that was quite endearing.
The girl in the white dress had long noticed that in this park, many little girls' eyes were drawn to that charming black-haired boy, secretly watching him, as the boy's looks were indeed outstanding.
However, the boy seemed unaware, looking hesitant, wanting to join the group of boys playing soccer on the lawn, yet appeared somewhat too timid.
But this wasn't the focus of the girl in the white dress. What she truly cared about was.
Through the earlier Nailuo's Eye information gathering, she discovered that the heart of this black-haired boy had a bit of a problem.
But she couldn't quite pinpoint what the problem was; it was peculiar.
"Hey, it's him." The breezy girl's enchanting eyes brightened with surprise as she looked across, "This little brother is actually here too."
"You know him?" The girl in the white dress asked, puzzled.
Seeing that the girl was rarely interested in a boy, Lin Simiao smiled and explained, "This little brother's name is Xia Feng, from the Liu Mansion, reportedly the most cherished adopted son of Liu Manor Master Liu Zhengen."
The girl in the white dress nodded with some understanding; she knew about the Liu Mansion.
The Empire's aristocratic class is divided into old nobility and new powerhouses.
The old nobility refers to the hereditary aristocracy before the Empire's establishment. For various reasons, the aristocratic hereditary system was not abolished, and those with titles are collectively referred to as the old nobility.
The new powerhouses, on the other hand, are the seven major power factions that have effectively controlled the Empire after its establishment, along with the various forces under them.
Although the old nobility carries the name of a title, their power often doesn't match their title, making their influence and status increasingly inferior compared to the new powerhouses.
The Manor Master of the Liu Mansion was a hereditary baron within the old nobility system, which logically made him quite insignificant among the entire aristocratic class of the Empire.
But there are exceptions to everything.
Over the millennia, the Liu Manor Master has adopted many homeless children, many of whom grew up to be highly talented in cultivation, achieved great success, and gained a foothold in the military, political, and business sectors of the Three Realms.
Therefore, as the Liu Manor Master's adopted sons and students gradually permeated the high-level positions of 50 districts, his invisible status grew increasingly exalted.
What's strange, however, is that the Liu Manor Master seemed uninterested in power struggles and rarely appeared in public.
"Nai Xue, didn't you say you could predict fortunes?" Lin Simiao blinked with curiosity and asked, "Can you predict the probability of this little boy liking me?"
"?" The girl in the white dress paused, clearly not expecting that her close friend was a fan of the young.
She pursed her lips and thought for a moment, then shook her head, "The information is too little, can't predict. Have you had any contact with him?"
"Yes." Lin Simiao said mischievously, blinking as she said something outrageous, "Just a few days ago, I grabbed him out into the woods when he was walking alone at night, but unfortunately, this little brother looks dumb but is really strong, he pushed me away and ran off... I just wanted to talk, and he reacted so strongly, probably thinking I'm a pervert...."
Girl in the white dress: "....."
Although aware her easy-going friend often did outrageous things, the girl in the white dress was still somewhat unable to accept this.
What do you mean by thinking you're a pervert, you clearly are! The girl in the white dress pursed her lips, wanting to say something but stopping.
However, seeing Lin Simiao's matter-of-course look, she shook her head, ultimately staying silent.
She never excessively interfered with others' behaviors and thoughts; only by being an outsider could she see the world around her more clearly and avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.
She didn't like trouble.
"So, what's the probability of him liking me?" Lin Simiao's enchanting eyes sparkled.
The girl in the white dress also smiled faintly and bluntly replied, "Zero."
"... Liar." The breezy girl pouted, hopping off the swing, "Your fortune-telling is nonsense, just wait, in three hours, I'll have won over this little boy."
Seeing Lin Simiao heading in the direction of the young boy, the girl in the white dress was taken aback, "What are you doing? Don't mess around!"
"Oh, right." Lin Simiao seemed to remember something, turned her head with a blink, and extended her hand, "The pill I asked you to buy the other day, do you have it? Give it to me."
"....." The girl in the white dress frowned, but before she could say anything, Lin Simiao had already fished out a black box from her small bag, her enchanting eyes brightened with joy, "As expected of Xue, you can even get this kind of contraband."
"Thanks~" Lin Simiao waved at her and then, with her short skirt swaying, walked merrily toward the young boy in the distance.
