"My queen is actually incredibly powerful. It's just that her cultivation is sealed."
"But this golden water might help me undo that seal on my queen," Chu Feng said to Xian Miaomiao.
"Huh? Just how strong is Eggy? Is she as strong as me?" Xian Miaomiao asked.
"I'm not entirely sure, but I think she might be stronger than you," Chu Feng said with a smile.
Chu Feng didn't know exactly what realm the queen's cultivation had reached, but one thing was certain — she was a Martial Emperor, and stronger than that Asura Evil Spirit he had released earlier.
The current situation was very unfavorable, because the Dark Hall's master had already set his sights on Chu Feng. While he didn't intend to kill Chu Feng just yet, Chu Feng knew that the man viewed him as a threat and would eventually make his move.
At a time like this, if he could restore the queen's cultivation, it would be nothing short of a rebirth from adversity.
"Oh no, oh no, what am I going to do now? I was planning to look after little Eggy, but does that mean I'll have to ask her to look after me instead?" Upon learning that the queen was extremely powerful, Xian Miaomiao looked thoroughly dejected. But then she turned to Eggy and added, "Well, it doesn't matter. After all, you're the younger sister. Even if you have to look after your big sister, it's only natural."
"Heh heh heh, sure thing. Once I recover my cultivation, I'll be more than happy to fulfill my duties as the older sister and put you in your place properly," the queen said, a wicked smile spreading across her face.
"Um…" Seeing that smile, Xian Miaomiao froze for a moment, then helplessly turned to Chu Feng. "Chu Feng, do something about Eggy! She's going to bully me!"
"Hahaha, Chu Feng is nothing more than my servant. Do you really think he can tell me what to do?" The queen put her hands on her hips and burst into laughter, looking utterly adorable despite her words.
"Chu Feng, tell me she's making that up," Xian Miaomiao said, turning to him with pleading eyes.
"No, Miaomiao. What the queen said is true," Chu Feng said, somewhat helplessly.
"Oh, no!!!" Xian Miaomiao wailed in exaggerated despair.
But before long, her gaze shifted, and her expression suddenly changed — as if she had just thought of something brilliant.
She then turned back to Eggy with a beaming smile. "Eggy, big sister, from now on why don't you look after me? We can team up and bully Chu Feng together. Just… don't bully me, okay?"
"Damn it." Hearing this, Chu Feng was utterly speechless. This girl had absolutely no shame — she had caved in just like that. Fine, he could accept the surrender, but why did she have to drag him into it? He was completely collateral damage.
"Chu Feng, can you really break this seal?" the queen asked. Still, there was doubt in her eyes. That sealing formation had been with her for so long, and she knew all too well how powerful it was.
"I'm a hundred percent confident — but that hundred percent only covers restoring a portion of your cultivation. I can't completely undo the seal my mother left behind," Chu Feng said.
"Then when should we try?" the queen asked.
"There's no time like the present. Right now," Chu Feng said.
"Right now?" Both the queen and Xian Miaomiao were taken aback.
"Don't worry. The people from the Dark Hall have already left, otherwise they'd have shown up by now."
"Besides, I can't take this golden water with me. No matter when we do it, it has to be here."
"However, now that the Blood-Eating Killing Formation has been broken, word will spread, and countless strong fighters will come here hoping to scavenge some treasures."
"So leaving the golden water sitting here isn't safe. If we're going to use it, the sooner the better," Chu Feng explained.
"What do I need to do?" the queen asked.
"Breaking your seal requires face-to-face interaction, so while the formation is being set up, you'll need to be outside."
"Once the formation is complete, you'll enter a semi-conscious state. Your mind will still be clear — you'll be able to share my sight and hearing — but you won't be able to speak until the formation finishes running its course and you regain full control."
"Whether this will successfully break your seal or not, we won't know until the formation has finished," Chu Feng said.
"How long will that take?" the queen asked.
