The team arrived at the Municipal Building.
While surveying, Wang Feng eliminated the pseudo-terrorist demon there and collected its seeds.
Although the plant system is not an elemental system, it has wood species similar to spirit species, along with corresponding power enhancement and domain.
The plant seeds of this pseudo-demon were warrior-level wood species and extremely valuable.
The world's top wood species is undoubtedly the Shenmujing in the Forbidden Zone of Life—the only known plant demon with the power of an emperor.
…
By evening, Wang Feng had completed the survey of all the points he needed.
What piqued his curiosity was that the giant lizard pseudo-dragon that should have appeared in the original timeline was nowhere in sight.
He had wanted to test the Victoria family's [Red Dragon Bloodline], but the creature clearly sensed the superior bloodline and avoided confrontation.
…
Then Wang Feng arrived at the church in Jinlin City.
What he saw were exhausted and wounded team members. Even Zhao Manyan, who usually cared about his appearance, looked disheveled, covered in dust as if crawling out of the mud.
Only Mu Nujiao and Mu Ningxue remained spotless, unchanged from when they separated.
"What happened?" Wang Feng asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Oh, don't mention it. We were really unlucky this time!" Zhao Manyan complained immediately.
He recounted what happened since their separation.
After reaching the survey point, they had begun measuring monster types and density, but were ambushed by giant lizard-skull monsters. After a fierce battle, they cleared the area but lost over half their magic power.
They gathered at the church to rest, but their emotions and desires had been amplified, causing conflict among them. Fortunately, Mu Nujiao and Mu Ningxue arrived in time to prevent further strife.
Wang Feng frowned. "Have you been to the pond outside the church?"
Zhao Manyan paused, then nodded. "Peng Liang went there to get water…"
Wang Feng understood immediately: they had been bewitched by the Bewitching Demon Spider.
"Moon, go clear the monsters in the pool!" Wang Feng ordered.
"Ouch~!"
Moon sniffed the air and ran toward the pond, following the scent of water.
"Captain, are you saying the pond monster caused this?" Peng Liang asked fearfully.
"Yes," Wang Feng nodded, then raised his hand to draw a healing star map.
Three healing elves landed on the injured members one by one, enveloping them in soft light, rapidly restoring their injuries.
Meanwhile, he gained two small talents:
[Uninterruptible]: Casting magic will not be interrupted by terrain changes (Qingqing).
[Extreme Speed Shadow]: Shadow effect speed is increased (Peng Liang).
The others, lacking unique talents or spiritual seeds, brought no additional benefit.
After healing everyone, Mu Nujiao waved at Wang Feng softly:
"Wang Feng, can you come with me?"
Slightly surprised, he nodded. "Okay."
He followed Mu Nujiao to the other side of the church. Seeing her strange expression, he teased:
"Jiaojiao, what's the matter calling me over? Are you going to confess?"
Unexpectedly, Mu Nujiao looked him in the eye and nodded seriously:
"Well, Wang Feng, I like you!"
Wang Feng was stunned. Mu Nujiao had always been calm and composed, never expressing her feelings directly. Even their past intimacies had been treated as nothing.
His heart moved, sensing something was wrong. He quietly released his mental power, enveloping Mu Nujiao's body.
Soon, he detected a faint foreign aura—a subtle demonic power influencing her mind, making her unusually bold.
He sighed softly: "Jiaojiao, do you know what you're saying?"
Mu Nujiao placed her hands on her chest, eyes sincere:
"I know… I shouldn't have said it so early, but I felt if I didn't, I might never get the chance."
Wang Feng smiled slightly. "Even if you regret it later, I won't let you go."
Mu Nujiao was momentarily stunned, unsure of the depth of his words.
He then used his mental power to completely purge the spider's demonic influence from her mind.
As the power dissipated, Mu Nujiao's eyes cleared. Her fair cheeks flushed, her gaze misty with a hint of shyness and panic.
"I… I…" she stammered, unsure what to say.
Though her words were influenced by demonic power, the feelings lingered in her mind. She wished she could hide.
"Wang Feng, just now I…" she whispered.
"I said, even if you regret it, I won't let you go."
Before she could respond, he gently wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her close. His lips met hers.
Mu Nujiao stiffened briefly, then relaxed. Her hands clutched his clothes, heart racing like a drum.
Time seemed to stop, the world blurring—only their breathing and heartbeat remained clear.
…
After a while, Wang Feng brought Mu Nujiao back to the group.
She was now composed, though the blush remained. Her eyes held shyness and sweetness.
Zhao Manyan noticed immediately and understood, smiling meaningfully.
He was about to joke when Wang Feng's cold gaze froze him. Awkwardly, Zhao Manyan touched his nose and fell silent.
"Ning Xue, the Bewitching Spider's power is strange. Jiaojiao was affected. Let me check you as well," Wang Feng said.
Mu Ningxue nodded, though slightly surprised. She had sensed something unusual but had not revealed it.
Wang Feng stepped forward, condensing a soft ball of [Healing Light] in his hand, and silently infiltrated his mental power into Mu Ningxue.
Soon, he detected a faint trace of the spider's bewitching power influencing her emotions.
At the same time, a dark golden prompt box appeared:
[Ice Spirit]: A natural spirit with extremely high affinity for ice elements, improving all aspects of ice magic (release speed, range, energy recovery, etc.).
