The Supreme Martial Expert of the Female CEO
Chapter 2037 - 2034: The Witch’s Plan
Nameless shivered and then saw the silhouette suddenly appear behind Ling Feng, he said tearfully, "Lady Witch, I... I didn’t know you were here!"
Ling Feng was also stunned for a moment, turned his head and saw the Witch standing behind him, and said somewhat sheepishly, "Auntie, how come you’re here?"
The Witch glanced at the two, then sat down in another seat and knocked on the table, "What, do you expect me to sit here and watch you eat and drink? Serve the wine and meat already!"
Ling Feng chuckled and served some plates of meat and a jar of Hero’s Blood to the Witch.
While eating the meat and drinking the wine slowly, the Witch said lightly, "No wonder you left the Practice Field and came to the Martial Training Camp, life is tough, eating meat and drinking, have you forgotten what the Demon King told you before?"
Ling Feng shrugged and said, "Not at all, I just wanted to hang out with friends before leaving!"
"Have you already made a decision?" The Witch looked at Ling Feng.
Ling Feng nodded, "That’s right, I actually should have made a decision long ago. Once we finish this drink, I’ll go meet the Demon King."
"Good!" The Witch said, "Today, I’ll accompany you drinking! But I have a piece of advice for you."
"Please speak, auntie."
"Brother King has high expectations for you, don’t disappoint him!" The Witch looked deeply at Ling Feng and said solemly.
Ling Feng fell silent and after a moment, smiled, "I understand, but let’s not talk about these things today, let’s just drink!"
Nameless was sweating with cold sweat on the side, who knew that Lady Witch would come silently, hopefully she wouldn’t settle the score for his previous words, otherwise he would really be unlucky.
Fortunately, Lady Witch’s attention wasn’t on him, which gave Nameless some peace of mind.
But given the current situation, Nameless didn’t even have the mood to drink, instead, he proactively acted as a Servant, constantly serving wine and meat to Ling Feng and the Witch.
Once Ling Feng and the Witch started drinking, he made an excuse to slip away, as talking too much might lead to mistakes, should he say something wrong and offend Lady Witch, wouldn’t he be in trouble?
"However... Ling Feng seems to have close ties with His Majesty the Demon King and Lady Witch!" Nameless thought, then instructed, "Move all the cellared Hero’s Blood here for backup, and let the kitchen prepare a few roasted venison, and be quick!"
In the room, Ling Feng and the Witch were quietly drinking, as they drank more, Ling Feng felt his head spinning, under the guidance of the Witch, he gradually began to recount some of his past experiences to her, including his days at the Divine Gate.
Injected with countless experimental potions daily, living a life worse than death, watching companions painfully die in front of him, watching parents choose self-sacrifice to save him...
Recalling those days, even now Ling Feng shuddered.
Ling Feng didn’t know why, facing the Witch, he seemed to have many things to say, ultimately, his body swayed and collapsed onto the table.
The Witch put down the jar of wine, sighed, "Ling Feng, don’t blame me, this was entrusted to me by Brother King before he left, I can only do so, Ling Feng, you might resent me, but both I and Brother King are doing this for your good!"
Clearly, the Witch had put something in Ling Feng’s wine, causing him to faint without any defenses.
Just as the Witch was about to restrain Ling Feng, the Tower Spirit of the Chaotic Octagonal Linglong Tower flew out from Ling Feng’s body, "Witch, what are you planning to do?"
"Tower Spirit? Naturally, I am to protect Ling Feng!" The Witch said solemnly, "You should know, Ling Feng now is keen on avenging the Mad Doctor, but the Mad Doctor is now the Artifact Spirit of the Tooth of Greed, not to mention Ling Feng, even you are no match for the Tooth of Greed. If I let Ling Feng go for revenge, he would only find a path to death!"
"So you’re planning to imprison Ling Feng?" The Tower Spirit said indifferently.
The Witch was silent for a moment then said, "Of course not, I just want him to have some time to calm down, once everything is settled, I’ll naturally release him!"
"I’m afraid by then, Ling Feng would already be dead!" The Tower Spirit chuckled, "If you wish Ling Feng to die sooner, I won’t stop you."
"What do you mean?" The Witch asked with a frown.
The Tower Spirit smiled, "You might want to check Ling Feng’s insides and see if you can find anything unusual!"
The Witch frowned, then injected her energy into Ling Feng’s body.
She puzzled a moment later, saying, "I seem to have found nothing unusual, but... Ling Feng’s vitality seems overly exuberant!"
Suddenly, the Witch’s expression changed, "No, Ling Feng’s vitality is unusually exuberant, at this rate..."
As she spoke, a hint of horror appeared on the Witch’s face.
The Tower Spirit nodded and said, "It seems you’ve noticed too, Ling Feng’s internal energy irregularity is because he’s cursed!"
"Cursed?" The Witch’s eyes narrowed, then she angrily said, "Who set the curse on Ling Feng? What kind of curse is this?"
"Curse of Aging, from the Holy Spirit King of the Angel World!" The Tower Spirit said indifferently, "Before returning to the Abyss Realm, Ling Feng had already gone to the Angel World and slain the Holy Spirit King, and before dying, the Holy Spirit King placed the curse on Ling Feng using Life Force!"
The Witch clenched her fist tightly, "Damn Holy Spirit King, if I’d known this, I would have killed him, Tower Spirit, don’t you have a way to lift this curse?"
The Tower Spirit shook its head and said, "A Half-step Immortal Peak expert’s curse, isn’t something easily lifted. If not for the Holy Angel wounding the Holy Spirit King severely at that time, maybe even Ling Feng wouldn’t be his match!"
"To save Ling Feng, there’s only one way, let him quickly ascend to the Immortal Realm. Only then, using the Chaos Force of Heaven and Earth, can he reshape his body and lift the curse." The Tower Spirit said, "If you confine Ling Feng, it will only lead to his faster demise!"
The Witch’s expression was uncertain, though she herself was a strong Immortal Realm expert, a curse set by a Half-step Immortal Realm expert using Life Force was beyond her power.
"Is this the only way?" The Witch was silent for a moment then said, "Tower Spirit, you should know how perilous the Path of Immortality is. Though Ling Feng’s journey seems calm and smooth, once he enters the Path of Immortality, his chance of success is less than one in ten thousand!"
