Chapter 1963: Chapter 1962: Intimidation
"Hey."
Chen Xiaoyue was surprised that Li Nianqing simply walked out, not afraid that the person might not be the one they were looking for. With a mutter in her heart, Chen Xiaoyue quickly caught up with Li Nianqing.
The area surrounding Li Feng’s camp was an open space, guarded not by Lei Ba’s Personal Guard Camp but by the Dog Clan.
This was Li Feng’s arrangement, and Shi Xing from the Dog Clan was extremely grateful, ensuring that not even a fly could enter Li Feng’s camp.
Li Nianqing and Chen Xiaoyue’s emergence naturally caught the attention of Dog Clan scouts, but since the duo approached openly, the Dog Clan scouts didn’t raise a commotion, and a few Dog Clan warriors directly blocked their path.
"Let them through."
Before Li Nianqing and Chen Xiaoyue could speak, Shi Xing appeared, dismissed his subordinates, and looked at the two uninvited women.
"My master invites you in."
Shi Xing scrutinized the two women, comparing them to the master’s exquisite entourage. Yet, since they were brought by that Sheep Clan’s top beauty, it was unclear what her intention was.
With these thoughts, Shi Xing quickly withdrew his gaze, knowing he couldn’t speculate the master’s thoughts, and stepped aside to let Li Nianqing and Chen Xiaoyue pass, instructing the nearby Dog Clan scouts to stay further from the camp.
"Sister Yu." Ouyang Qiuhai turned to Sikong Yu. After a round of pleading, Sikong Yu decided to find Li Feng and inquire about future plans, but before getting close, she witnessed the scene unfold.
"Those two women seem to be maids brought by Liu Ruyi from the Sheep Clan, though they don’t appear to be from the Sheep Clan," Ouyang Qiuhai said.
"Hmm."
Sikong Yu responded.
Ouyang Qiuhai pouted and continued, "What’s with Li Feng allowing women sent by the Sheep Clan into his camp at this late hour? What’s he planning to do?"
Ouyang Qiuhai lifted her foot, planning to catch him, but Sikong Yu grabbed her wrist: "Wait."
Feeling a chill behind her, Ouyang Qiuhai shivered; Li Feng was in trouble now.
Inside the camp.
Li Nianqing and Chen Xiaoyue entered, where the beast oil lamps were brightly lit, immediately spotting Li Feng seated behind a table.
Truth be told, entering so easily, the two women felt a bit apprehensive.
"You...!"
Li Feng smiled and looked at Li Nianqing and Chen Xiaoyue: "Did Liu Ruyi send you here as part of a beauty scam?"
"Ah!"
Li Nianqing and Chen Xiaoyue froze, as Li Feng raised his eyes to scrutinize them, seemingly seeing through their clothes.
"She wouldn’t think I want to hit on her, so she sent you to distract me?"
Li Feng said, standing up and walking toward Li Nianqing and Chen Xiaoyue. The two women felt uneasy, wondering if they’d mistaken him.
As Li Feng approached, seemingly intending something, Chen Xiaoyue’s heart raced like a lamb on the run, wondering if it was akin to throwing a meat bun to a dog.
If he truly intended harm, should they resist?
It seemed resistance would be futile against him.
Li Nianqing silently clenched her pink fist, the tent’s atmosphere heavy and ambiguous from Li Feng’s few words.
"Or are you here to assassinate me?"
"But an assassination wouldn’t be this blatant, and she surely knows my strength, so it’s likely a beauty plan."
"Should I comply?"
Li Feng stood before the two, smiling playfully at Li Nianqing and Chen Xiaoyue, leaving them in a dilemma, unsure how to respond.
If the man was truly Li Feng, he wouldn’t act like this. Yet, standing so close, looking at the familiar face opposite her, Li Nianqing recognized Li Feng’s face, despite not seeing him for over half a year, it’s unlikely she confused him.
But now, his behavior confused Li Nianqing, had they truly mistaken him?
As Li Feng leaned forward, watching them playfully, the atmosphere grew tense to the extreme, and Li Feng suddenly straightened.
"Li Nianqing, Chen Xiaoyue, long time no see."
Li Nianqing and Chen Xiaoyue heard their names suddenly called from opposite, their inner tension heightening, internally debating countless times. If he truly wanted to play along, what would they do?
Yet in that instant, as Li Feng named them, their previous defenses crumbled.
"Li Feng, you tricked us."
Li Nianqing swung her pink fist at Li Feng’s chest; Li Feng didn’t stop her, letting Li Nianqing privately vent.
"Do you know how nervous I was? I even thought if you dared to reach out, I’d chop your hand off, even biting a piece off even if it meant dying."
Li Nianqing glared fiercely at Li Feng.
Li Feng laughed, turned back to the table: "Alright, sit down. I saw you during the day, but with the crowded eyes around, it wasn’t apt to acknowledge you, plus I guessed you’d seek me out, as expected."
"You’ve been at the Sheep Clan? Has it been well?"
Li Feng asked the two women.
One day, a hundred arrived at Kunlun Void, including the previous batch and the first to enter the Secret Realm, nearly three hundred in total. Li Feng knew few among them.
After entering Kunlun Void, they scattered across Kunlun World. After landing, Li Feng found several comrades, except Xiao Luoyi, who was somewhat related to him; others returned to villages.
Upon reaching Ancestor Dragon City, Li Feng met only Lin Luoyin, the rest who entered Kunlun Void mostly vanished.
As per Li Feng’s thoughts, those three hundred had likely died or been captured, given Kunlun Void’s vastness beside Ancestor Dragon City, including the Demon Clan, and the Demon Sect following seemed unlike the Ten Demon Hall he knew.
Because the Ten Demon Hall comprised family rebels of Ancestor Dragon City, aligning under Demon Clan, their conduct starkly differs from the Demon Sect.
Overall, few who entered Kunlun Void regrouped, and seeing Li Nianqing and Chen Xiaoyue again was a pleasant surprise for Li Feng.
Li Nianqing immediately recounted their experience after entering Kunlun, and Li Feng quietly listened. The two had luck, landing near Fengshan, where the Sheep Clan found and took them back.
The Sheep Clan was naturally gentle, not bloodthirsty or aggressive. The two faced fewer crises within the Sheep Clan, yet leaving proved difficult.
"And you?"
Li Nianqing queried after detailing their ordeal: "How did you become the Fire Phoenix Clan’s Fengyang Lord? According to Ruyi, the Fire Phoenix Clan was second only to the Demon Emperor in the Demon Country."
