Chapter 422

"What are you waiting for?"

Feng Ye turned around and glanced at Bonbietta, who was standing there in a daze, and said, "Do you plan to continue receiving more rewards from me in this state?"

Feng Ye's words jolted Bonbietta back to her senses. She looked at Feng Ye and forced herself to calm down. Then, she quickly turned around and ran back to her room.

She had almost forgotten all about the pain she was feeling. There was only one thought that flashed through her mind — what was that scene just now?!

Even though she was standing behind Feng Ye, she could only feel a suffocating feeling as if the sky was falling and the earth was sinking. She felt as if she was a drop of water in the face of a vast ocean. She was unable to determine just how powerful Feng Ye was, and she was unable to determine just how weak she was.

Star Cross Knights …

Did they really have such power?

Bonbietta was greatly doubting her previous thoughts. At this moment, she even felt that perhaps even the Star Cross Knights didn't have such terrifying power!

Perhaps only the personal guards that stood at the peak of the Star Cross Knights, or the leader of the Star Cross Knights, Yugeran Haswold, could have such terrifying power.

Yet, Feng Ye already had such power even without receiving Yhwach's gift!

In fact.

At the same time, another thought appeared in her mind — was Feng Ye really a Soul Exterminator born in the Formless Empire?

This thought terrified her, and she didn't dare to think about it any further.

Bonbietta quickly returned to her room. The injuries on her body also rapidly healed. The shoulder that Feng Ye had chopped off quickly grew back, and even her entire arm had grown back.

"…"

Bonbietta slowly stroked her newly grown arm as she gazed at the ground in front of her. It was unknown what she was thinking.

In the next few days, she continued to eat in the side dining room on the first floor as usual.

She didn't know why, but even though she knew that her attempt to have Giselle send a message to the Star Cross Knights would likely result in Feng Ye's cruel torture, she wasn't too afraid of it. In fact, she didn't even think of running away.

Just like last time, when she tried to ambush and kill Feng Ye at night and was discovered, she received the same punishment. She felt that she deserved to be punished for her actions.

Even though she trembled at Feng Ye's torture.

She didn't know why, but she didn't want to run away.

However.

During these three days, the even more painful and cruel torture that she had imagined didn't arrive. Instead, it was rather peaceful.

Even when she occasionally met Feng Ye, he only glanced at her briefly before nonchalantly continuing to drink tea and read his book. It was as if he had lost interest in torturing her.

Did this count as being forgiven?

Or had Feng Ye already lost interest in her?

Bonbietta's heart became inexplicably frantic. On one hand, she was grateful that Feng Ye didn't torture her any further, and on the other hand, she was slightly afraid that Feng Ye didn't torture her any further. It sounded quite contradictory, but these two conflicting emotions were constantly battling in her heart.

It was as if a minion and a minion were fighting each other. As time passed, the fight became more and more intense, making her feel more and more uneasy.

At the same time.

Yinja City.

Bonbietta's disappearance had shaken the entire Bonbietta Family. However, Giselle's disappearance for three days in a row didn't just attract the attention of the family. Instead, it truly alarmed the Celestial Cross Knights!

After all, Giselle was the head knight of the Celestial Cross Knights, and her status was only second to the Celestial Cross Knights. Once she received Friend Habach's blessing, she would also be able to become a Celestial Cross Knight.

The disappearance of such a powerful annihilator obviously wouldn't be like a drop of water falling into the ocean, vanishing without a trace and not attracting any attention.

At the edge of Yinja City.

A man wearing the epaulet of a Celestial Cross Knight was currently standing at the very top of the city wall. He was gazing at the far north of the Invisible Empire.

"First, the eldest daughter of the Bonbietta Family disappeared. Now, even my head knight has disappeared? Looks like some troublesome rats have appeared in the Invisible Empire. "

Giselle was one of the head knights under his command, and he was a member of the Celestial Cross Knights — Cang Dou of Steel. The Holy Word was I, and his ability was steel!

Giselle had been missing for three days, and the news had finally reached him.

"Lord Cang Du, erm, should we ask the regimental commander..." A knight behind Cang Du asked Cang Du meticulously.

Cang Dou glanced at him and said indifferently, "Do you want me to be mocked by others?"

Ordinary knights were fine, but there weren't that many head knights. Every Celestial Cross Knight had at most two to three head knights. The head knights were the most important subordinates of the Celestial Cross Knights, and also where their reputation lay.

If something happened to their head knight, it would obviously be a shameful matter for everyone. If he went to ask Yugelan and asked him to send a few Star Cross Knights with him to investigate the cause of Giselle's accident, his face would be completely lost.

"Guard this place for me for the time being."

Cang Dou glanced at the head knight behind him and said, "I'll be back soon.

Whoosh!!

As his voice fell, his figure flashed and he stepped on Feilian's leg, leaping off the city wall and quickly disappearing into the plains outside of Yinjia City.

"Yes."

The head knight lowered his head and replied.

Giselle's disappearance had enraged Cang Dou. A Celestial Cross Knight had personally taken action. No matter what kind of trouble it was, it would be uprooted.

After Cang Dou dealt with the matter, he would return and report to his superiors. Although it wouldn't be as if nothing had happened, it would at least save some of the Celestial Cross Knights' reputation.

… …

North of the Invisible Empire.

Inside the manor.

Bombietta was sitting alone in a spacious lounge on the third floor, lost in thought.

It had been three days since Giselle had been killed by Maple Night. Until today, Maple Night hadn't done anything to her. Could it be that cutting off her left arm was the only punishment?

Compared to what she had encountered in the past few days, this obviously wasn't much of a punishment. She also didn't feel that this was the end of it. Thus, the more she hadn't encountered anything, the more uneasy she felt.

Moreover.

The thing that made her unable to calm down the most was that when she met Maple Night yesterday, she couldn't help but ask him a question.

She was asking if Feng Ye was truly a fallen destroyer who was born in the Formless Empire.

And Maple Night's answer was — no.

He indeed came from outside the Invisible Empire!

This news made Bombietta feel as if thunder had struck her heart, and she fell into a daze. When she came back to her senses and wanted to ask more, Maple Night had already disappeared.

Since Maple Night came from outside the Invisible Empire, it meant that the information about the Invisible Empire had already been leaked to the outside world. Although she didn't know much about the outside world, she was familiar with history and knew that the Gotei 13 Squadrons existed outside the Invisible Empire!

Maybe …

At this time, the Gotei 13 Squadrons were already planning to attack the Invisible Empire!

If the Invisible Empire didn't know about this and fought in a hurry, they might repeat the mistakes of a thousand years ago and be defeated by the Grim Reaper again. At that time, what awaited them might be destruction!

This kind of situation made her heart flustered, but let alone spreading this information, she couldn't even spread the news that she was here outside the manor.

While Bombietta was leaning against the wall, her head was hanging by the side of the wall in a daze.

Boom!!!

A roar suddenly rang out, causing a huge movement like an earthquake. She was caught off guard, and her head collided with the wall.

This roar woke Bonbietta up from her daze. After a short pause, she suddenly stood up and leaped to the window. She looked out of the window.

She saw.

On one side of the manor outside the window, half of the wall had collapsed, and even more than half of the courtyard within a radius of several hundred meters had been destroyed.

Standing in front of the destroyed land was a young man wearing a large coat and a cross star medal. There was a clear scar on the left side of his lips.

Bombietta's pupils shrank, and she instantly recognized the other party.

"Star Cross Knight …"

There weren't many Star Cross Knights in the Invisible Empire, and each of them had a high status, so she knew every one of them, including the Steel Cangdou in front of her!

After a brief shock, she suddenly remembered that Cangdou's appearance was not unexpected. After all, a knight leader died here a few days ago!

The death of a knight leader would definitely attract the attention of the Star Cross Knight!

Bombietta clenched her fists and muttered, "This is clearly something that even a fool can think of. Why did I only think of it now? What exactly is going on with me …"

As her voice fell, she could not help but take a deep breath.

Did the appearance of the Star Cross Knight mean that there would be a turn for the better?

However.

At the next moment.

She saw Feng Ye's figure appear in front of the destroyed courtyard, looking toward Cangdou from afar. Feng Ye then extended his hand toward Cangdou. His hand instantly traversed several hundred meters, grabbing Cangdou with two fingers and lifting him up before crushing him into dust in the air!

At the instant he saw Feng Ye, Cangdou's expression changed, and he revealed a horrified expression. He only had time to open his mouth before he was completely turned into dust, crushed to death like an ant.

A Celestial Cross Knight had died here just like that!

Boom!

Bombietta slid back a step and sat down on the ground, her face pale.

Her mind was filled with the scene of Feng Ye crushing Giselle and Cangdou to death with one hand. For a moment, she was unable to think, and her mind became blank.

After close to half a minute, she finally recovered from the suffocating pressure. She panted heavily, her chest heaving up and down violently, and her forehead was covered in sweat.

"Heh … Hehe …

I … I'm so foolish … "
