Chapter 84 The Mystery Unraveled, the Sustainers Negotiate
The next morning.
"Xunfeng, wake up."
Xunfeng, who was deep in sleep, suddenly felt someone gently patting his cheek.
So, he reluctantly opened his eyes.
The next second, Barbatos's smiling face came into view.
"It's you... I finally have a holiday, don't disturb my sleep."
Xunfeng impatiently turned over and closed his eyes again.
"Heh heh, it seems someone doesn't want to collect the Eyes of God after all..."
"Collecting the Eyes of God? Tell me more."
Upon hearing the words "Eye of God," Xun Feng immediately sat up straight and looked at Barbatos with renewed vigor.
"Haha, I knew you'd be interested. Morax, come in!"
As Barbatos spoke, he turned to look at the door.
The next second, Zhongli slowly walked into the room.
"Good morning, Heliseg."
Zhong Li looked at Xun Feng without blushing or embarrassing himself, as if he had forgotten what Xun Feng had done the night before.
"Morax, what are you doing here? Aren't you going to avoid suspicion?"
As Xun Feng spoke, he looked at Morax, who was approaching, with a mixture of anger and delight.
What's infuriating is that... he had no idea what happened that night, and somehow ended up with Hu Tao as his partner.
The best news is... the cutest walnut in the whole world is finally mine!
Seeing Xun Feng's complicated expression, Morax paused awkwardly.
"I'm sorry I didn't discuss the matter with you the night before, but I acted according to your plan. However, nothing happened between you and the sect leader."
"I guessed that, since we were both completely drunk. But why was Hu Tao naked when she woke up this morning?"
After saying that, Xunfeng blushed as she recalled that scene.
"No, I am a gentleman, I cannot be so superficial."
As Xun Feng thought about it, he raised his hand and slapped himself.
"I don't know about that. On the way back, the leader kept muttering that it was so hot. Maybe he took off his clothes unconsciously when he went to bed last night."
After saying that, Zhongli carefully touched his chin.
Seeing Zhongli's honest appearance, Xunfeng forgave him.
"Wait a minute, why are my clothes on the floor too?"
Realizing there was still one mystery, Xunfeng looked at Zhongli again.
"Oh? I took off your coat for you. Wearing too many clothes will make you have insomnia."
"Thank you so much..."
Xunfeng laughed as he pinched his thigh.
A case of multiple misunderstandings leading to an accidental marriage
"Hey, getting back to the point, Barbatos, what were you trying to say just now?"
"Haha, Morax and I have already figured out how to break the seal."
After saying this, Barbatos joyfully played a celebratory tune on his harp.
Seeing Barbatos's genuine excitement, Xun Feng hesitated before standing up.
Are you telling the truth?
"Of course, Morax is a witness."
"tell me the story."
"Don't be impatient... Actually, breaking the seal is very simple, you just need to break the seal."
"What kind of word games are you playing with me?"
Xunfeng rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.
"You woke me up just to tease me..."
"Morax, I won my bet. You see, he really did get angry, hehe."
Seeing Xun Feng's expectant expression, Barbatos grinned with satisfaction.
"...I did not acknowledge your one-sided and meaningless gamble at the time."
Zhongli shrugged indifferently.
"Alright, alright, let's not beat around the bush. Actually, it was the Keeper of Heaven's Law who came to find me and Morax."
"Since Morax and I are the only remaining generation of gods among the Seven Gods, our relationship with the Heavenly Principle is even closer."
"It is said that there are four maintainers of the laws of nature, but Morax and I have only met the ruler of space. The other three are the rulers of the laws that maintain the operation of the world, and they never show themselves."
"The ruler of space said that she has a grand plan and hopes to gain our support in exchange for the method to break the seal of the God of Light."
As he spoke, Barbatos paused, took a sip of wine to moisten his throat.
After a short rest, he continued to add.
"Her plan is... to overthrow the laws of nature. Although Morax and I don't know why she's doing this, she has no reason to risk her life to negotiate with us. As things stand, we have the same goal."
"She said that the Eye of God is only the most primitive way to ignite elemental power. Therefore, simply touching the Eye of God will only ignite a powerful portion of the light element, but it cannot be directly controlled. However, with the assistance of special factors, the absorption and recovery speed can be accelerated."
"Later, she refused to say more, only saying that it depended on our sincerity, and then she disappeared."
After saying this, Barbatos sighed helplessly.
Meanwhile, Xun Feng, who had been silently listening to everything, was working at high speed.
"So after all that you've said, you still don't know the most crucial method?"
Xun Feng helplessly held his head and looked at Barbatos with reproach.
"Hey, take it slow. The Heavenly Principles aren't easy to deal with. We need to proceed cautiously and steadily, right, Heliseg?"
"Sigh... okay, take your time."
