Chapter 460 Me or your wife...who's prettier?
Wasim immediately understood, suppressed his inner panic, and followed Evelyn slowly forward without making a sound.
The two sides are getting closer and closer.
As they passed each other, Evelyn mimicked the etiquette of a temple deacon, giving him a slight nod.
Wasim nodded in agreement.
The two deacons opposite did not notice anything amiss, assuming they were colleagues on duty at the temple. After nodding in return, they stepped down the stone steps and headed towards the second-level terrace.
Only after the two deacons had walked more than ten meters away did their tense backs relax slightly, and they both let out a soft sigh of relief.
........................
To the west, a grove of trees.
The soft moonlight poured down, casting dappled shadows among the trees in the forest. The dense branches and leaves intertwined and embraced each other, scattering a cool, silvery light across the ground.
The air was filled with the dampness of night dew and the faint fragrance of grass and trees. A night breeze swept by, and a cool sensation seeped into the lungs.
Xia Ning led Lin Feng on a frantic run to this point, finally stopping in a clearing in the woods.
She released Lin Feng's hand and looked back in the direction of the temple.
The outline of the palace was faintly visible, and the high stone walls gleamed with a dim light in the cold moonlight.
Xia Ning took a deep breath and turned to face Lin Feng: "There's no time to lose, summon that Purple Eye now."
Lin Feng nodded, took two steps forward, stood in the center of the open space, tilted his head back slightly, and closed his eyes.
He slowly raised his hands, interlaced his fingers in front of his chest, and quickly formed a series of strange hand seals.
After muttering to himself for a while, he suddenly exclaimed softly:
"Show yourself—Five-Step Nether Viper!"
The air in the center of the open space suddenly vibrated, as if it had been forcibly torn apart by an invisible giant hand, rolling out from the middle to both sides and creating a narrow spatial rift.
Layers of white frost condensed at the edges of the crack, slowly spreading down the ground.
The next moment, a graceful figure slowly emerged from the crack.
First, a pair of slender, jade-like feet stepped out, their skin as white as jade, with a bright red rope tied around their right ankle, from which two small silver bells dangled.
With each step taken, a delicate, crisp tinkling sound rippled through the silent mountain forest.
Then, her fair and slender legs were slowly revealed, wearing a neat black short skirt, and her waist was so slender that it could be encircled by one hand.
Further up, her figure is full and alluring, finally revealing a bewitching and stunning face.
She walked barefoot on the frosty grass, her toes lightly touching the ground, slowly approaching Lin Feng.
After slowly walking around Lin Feng once, she stopped in front of him and gently placed her hand on his shoulder.
"handsome guy--"
Her voice was languid and melodious.
"I knew it, you still think about me."
Her fingertips gently brushed across Lin Feng's chest, and a more alluring smile appeared on her lips.
"So, tell me, how do you want to play this game with me?"
"Cough cough~"
A cough suddenly came from behind me.
The purple-eyed creature's pointed ears twitched suddenly, and it slowly turned its head.
Xia Ning stood under a pine tree behind her, arms crossed, meeting Zi Tong's gaze.
Zi Tong's vertical pupils suddenly contracted.
Then she turned her head to look at Lin Feng, her languid and teasing gaze turning into genuine disdain: "Why is this woman here too?"
She glanced at Xia Ning, then at Lin Feng, her gaze shifting back and forth between the two several times, before suddenly bursting into laughter, a mischievous chuckle tinged with sudden realization:
"Are they going to play a third game...?"
"Um!" Lin Feng quickly interrupted, "Zi Tong, don't misunderstand! I summoned you here because I need your help!"
The smile on Zi Tong's face slowly faded, and she crossed her arms over her chest.
"Help? Don't think you can boss me around just because you know a little summoning magic. I'm not used to serving people!"
Lin Feng originally intended to tell her frankly that he had summoned her to lure out the Lord of Silence.
But looking at Zi Tong's arrogant and willful appearance, if her purpose were revealed, she would definitely explode.
On second thought, there was no need to say more. As long as Zi Tong stayed here, his goal had already been achieved.
Thinking of this, he immediately smiled and smoothed things over:
"Forget it, it's not really a big deal. Since you're unwilling to help, then let's just forget about it."
Zi Tong raised an eyebrow slightly: "That's more like it."
As she spoke, she stepped forward and reached out to take Lin Feng's arm:
"Time is limited, let's hurry up and go into the woods to have a chat."
Xia Ning's figure flashed suddenly, instantly blocking Lin Feng's path, her body surrounded by surging black energy:
"You think you're all that just because I gave you a firecracker? The wife is still standing here, who do you think you are?!"
Zi Tong's expression immediately turned cold, and a chilling aura suddenly erupted from her body: "As an S-rank being, do you think I'm afraid of you?!"
Seeing this, Lin Feng quickly stepped forward to mediate: "We're all on the same side, don't be impulsive, it wouldn't be good to ruin the harmony."
He then turned to Xia Ning and whispered, "The bigger picture is important, the bigger picture is important!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Ning snorted coldly and slowly suppressed the surging black energy around her.
Zi Tong scoffed lightly, her gaze returning to Lin Feng with a hint of amusement:
"Okay, if you say a few nice things that I like to hear, I won't hold it against her today."
Lin Feng was slightly taken aback and subconsciously turned to look at Xia Ning beside him.
Xia Ning glared at Lin Feng: "Say it or don't, why are you looking at me?"
Lin Feng coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and turned to face Zi Tong.
"that……"
"Purple Eyes, your hair looks beautiful today... silver-gray, like moonlight falling on snow."
Zi Tong raised an eyebrow slightly: "Hmm, not bad, continue."
Lin Feng rubbed his nose and continued:
"Your eyes are also very special, dark purple, like...like the purple grapes of late autumn, no, even more beautiful than grapes, like two polished amethysts with a lamp lit inside."
Purple Eyes' lips began to curve upwards.
"Your legs are very long and well-proportioned. The way you stand barefoot on the grass... is very... very artistic."
"Also, the bells on your feet make a lovely sound, tinkling and ringing, which puts people in a good mood."
"Your ears are adorable too, pointy, like...like an elf's."
Xia Ning clenched her fists tightly, her knuckles cracking.
Zi Tong, however, was in a great mood and giggled.
"Wow, I didn't expect you to be so good at giving compliments."
She took a step forward, tilted her head, and let her long, silver-gray hair slip down her shoulders and fall to her chest.
"So... am I prettier, or is this woman prettier?"
She held up a finger and pointed in Xia Ning's direction.
Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat. Damn, here comes the question that could kill him.
He glanced at Zi Tong, then turned to look at Xia Ning, his gaze shifting back and forth between the two of them twice, before finally speaking earnestly:
"They're both beautiful, just different styles, like lotus in summer and plum blossoms in winter, each with its own unique beauty."
His dark purple vertical pupils narrowed, and the smile on his lips faded slightly.
"No, don't try to dodge the question, you have to choose one!"
