Chapter 338 - 313. Face to face
The woman in a black dress wore a faint smile, leisurely stepping forward.
The boy's face grew increasingly stiff as he stepped back.
At the same time, the entire Rule Space began to transform, with vast lands rising and azure skies stretching across, followed by a dimming of the world's light as night fell.
The clear chirping of summer cicadas, and the two appeared in a dimly lit room.

A dull yellow desk lamp illuminated a corner of the bedroom bed, the very place where Xia Feng and Gong Changyi had lived for many years.
Xia Feng was stunned, not understanding what Miss Mu intended to do.
Just as he wondered, a figure in a white dress appeared on the bed, a delicate young girl peacefully asleep.
The woman in black smiled, pointing at the girl in white, "Mr. Xia, lay down with your face towards your Sister Yi and stick your bottom up."
"???" Xia Feng's forehead filled with question marks, but he quickly realized, felt a jolt in his brain, and turned to run for the door!
However, this place was like an endlessly looping maze; every time he opened a door, he found the woman in black standing by the bed, smiling at him.
Beneath the dull yellow lamp, the woman's smile was malevolent and eerie.
"Mr. Xia, do you remember what I said during the final round of the Spiritual Song? For every slap you gave me, I would add to your future humiliations and suffering!"
"..."
During the final round of the Spiritual Song, Xia Feng had taken advantage of her performance to slap her buttocks wildly, making her taste the ultimate shame and humiliation.
Now, the time for revenge had come.
Let this foolish Mr. Xia know what despair truly means!
"..." Xia Feng knew that once he entered the Nightmare World, it was only a matter of time before he would face revenge, but he had always held out hope, thinking that even if Miss Mu was powerful, she had her limits and wouldn't have the time for revenge...
But now it seemed she not only had plenty of time, but she also had the freedom to do as she pleased here, which was outrageous.
Xia Feng took a deep breath, forcibly calming himself, and said in a deep voice,
"Miss Mu, you clearly promised that you wouldn't do anything bad to me when I was a child!"
"Mr. Xia, you have to understand, the least reliable thing in this world is a so-called promise."
"Miss Mu, powerful people scorn lying, like me; I never lie."
"Hehe~"
"Miss Mu, you're so untrustworthy, I look down on you!"
"Hehe~"
"And you're so petty, I look down on you!"
"Mr. Xia, every word you say will be recorded in my books, and the number of slaps on your buttocks has accumulated to 50. So, do you wish to continue?"
"..." Xia Feng clenched his small fists tight, standing by the door, his lively black eyes full of anger staring into the woman's gently curved beautiful eyes, took a deep breath, he couldn't cower!
A man must not cower!
"Abnormal Witch, I look down on you!"
Swoosh—
His body uncontrollably flew up; as his outer pants turned into Spiritual Light and dissipated, he found himself kneeling on the bed, facing Sister Yi's beautiful sleeping face.
His pupils dilated, and as the crisp sound of a slap echoed, his shoulder twitched, his cheeks visibly reddening.
"Mr. Xia, I could give you another chance," the woman in black stood behind him, looking down with an indifferent voice, "Submit to me, call me 'Master', and I shall let you go. How about that?"
"Mu Qingtong, you, you're a dead pervert!"
Slap—
The dim light from the desk lamp cast a glow on the cheeks of Gong Changyi and Xia Feng, flickering unsteadily.
Xia Feng bit his teeth hard.
"Mr. Xia, what do you think the expression on your Sister Yi's face will be if she wakes up and sees you like this?" The woman in the black dress squinted her beautiful eyes, her tone from high above carried a hint of teasing.
"..." Xia Feng's heart tightened, about to say something, when the girl's long eyelashes in front of him suddenly trembled and then slowly opened.
Seeing Xia Feng, Gong Changyi's eyes softened into a gentle curve and she rubbed his head, "Little Feng, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
Xia Feng's face stiffened, a pang of pain causing his shoulders to shudder again.
Only then did Gong Changyi notice the woman in the black dress standing in the darkness behind Little Feng, who was...
Her beautiful eyes widened, her gentle smile slowly stiffening and fading away, her gaze turned cold in an instant, "Seeking death!"
Saying this, she was about to activate the Spiritual Artifact's power, but the next moment she realized she couldn't use her Spiritual Artifact, and her wrists were shackled to both sides of the bed.
Her breathing stopped, trying to speak but finding she couldn't even make a sound.
...
With that incredulous look from Sister Yi directed at himself, Xia Feng gritted his teeth and turned his face away, constantly telling himself, it's all fake, all of it!
After all, it's just a scene and characters imagined by the Destructive Witch; naturally, this Sister Yi is also a fake NPC, so there's nothing to be ashamed of.
All he had to do was ignore her!
But at this moment, the woman in the black dress behind him made a new move, wrapping her arms around his thighs and lifting him up.
"?" Xia Feng was baffled once again, exclaiming in panic, "What now, what are you doing!"
The woman in the black dress looked down at the girl in the white dress, meeting her angry gaze filled with sinister killing intent, and with slightly squinted eyes and wet lips, questioned softly in Xia Feng's ear:
"Mr. Xia, I'm very curious if you've ever developed a feeling like love for Gong Changyi, who used to be your master?"
"..." Xia Feng's mind was in a mess, his breathing rapid, and he retorted angrily, "None of your damn business!"
"Very good, Mr. Xia, I admire your unyielding spirit."
The corners of the woman's eyes curved, and with a gentle, shallow smile, she said, "I hope you can continue to be tough in what's about to come."
That said, Xia Feng's hell began.
...
In front of Sister Yi, Xia Feng felt as if his integrity had shattered to pieces.
"Mr. Xia, open your eyes and let your Sister Yi take a good look at you now... "
"...!!!"
"Mu Qingtong! You're impressive, I'll return these words to you just as you've given them. Every hit you land on me is adding to the future humiliation and suffering you will endure! Remember that!" Xia Feng took all of today's humiliations to heart, already deciding that one day Miss Mu would come crawling back to him, begging on all fours!
"Oh."
"——"

Above Music City.
The Red-faced Ghost suddenly snapped awake, spewing out a mouthful of dark blood and retreating several steps, her pupils wide with shock.
"What's happened now?" Kovis asked in a deep voice.
"My spirit division has been extinguished," said the Red-faced Ghost, her expression fluctuating. "And I've also lost control of that Rule Power!"
This was a huge loss for her, especially the Rule Power, which was a life-saving skill; it was baffling that it simply disappeared into thin air.
Hearing the Red-faced Ghost's explanation, Kovis started with surprise, frowning, "How is that possible? You mean to say that the opponent's spiritual power is more than just Seventh Rank."
The Red-faced Ghost nodded, "Indeed, although I don't know exactly what happened inside, I have ascertained the opponent's strength. This person's spiritual power is abnormally vast, even far exceeding Seventh Rank, which makes it very likely to be a result of some Divine Relic or perhaps... an S-Levellite Spiritual Artifact!"
"S-Level Spiritual Artifact?" Kovis's pupils narrowed; there were only a few Legendary artifacts like that in the entire Empire, how could one appear here?
He felt that the possibility of a Divine Relic might be more likely.
Kovis seemed to think of something and then asked, "What about their Spiritual Pressure level?"
"Only Fourth Rank," said the Red-faced Ghost, revealing a shark-like grin, her eyes slightly narrowed, "So, battling this person in the Nightmare World is actually disadvantageous for us. As long as we can pull this person back to reality, we can easily dispose of them!"
