Chapter 574: Li Feng Pissed Off
"By the way, Envoy Li... what exactly happened inside the capital?"
Her crimson eyes rested on him with quiet interest.
"From what we gathered... it seems it was largely related to you."
Li Feng’s hand, which had been slowly moving upward from her waist and was just brushing against the soft warmth underside of those large breasts, paused at the question.
The lewd smile on his face gradually faded.
In its place settled a calm expression as he looked straight at the woman beside him.
"...Instead of asking me... you’re the one who should be answering my question."
With that, his hand moved up and gripped one of her large breasts roughly over the fabric.
The soft mass filled his palm at once... so full and heavy that even his large hand couldn’t fully contain it.
His fingers sank into the yielding flesh through the robe, squeezing with open force.
Fen Ling was a little surprised.
Not so much by the hand on her chest, but by the sudden calm in his tone and expression.
Still, with her experience, she could immediately tell the truth beneath that composure.
...That Li Feng was very pissed.
The forceful grip on her breast made that more than clear.
Fen Ling let out a light sigh.
Rather than pulling away, she adjusted her posture slightly and began moving her hand again.
The cool, soft fingers wrapped around him resumed their steady rhythm, slower and more deliberate this time, as if she were trying to ease his anger through touch alone.
"...I know Envoy Li is mad," Fen Ling said quietly.
Her hand tightened slightly around him, adding a more focused pressure as she stroked with greater intent.
"And it’s true. Despite my strength, I failed in my duty as Empress."
She let out a soft sigh, her expression growing more serious.
"Alright. I’ll explain everything to you."
Li Feng remained silent.
His hand, however, did not stop.
He continued roughly molding the soft, heavy flesh in his grip, fingers sinking into her breast over the fabric as if working out the irritation still lingering in his chest.
Only after that did Fen Ling begin to speak.
"Leng Qianxue and I discovered that there was a Divine Blood Emissary inside the palace..."
"And not an ordinary one. It was Peng Jianwei, the First Emissary."
Li Feng’s fingers continued pressing into the soft flesh in his hand as he listened with a frown.
Fen Ling continued.
"Once we were certain, we secretly prepared a trap formation to seal and kill him. Our plan was simple... eliminate the First Emissary first, then deal with whatever schemes he had already set in motion afterward."
"And to my surprise, Eunuch Peng was the one that showed up."
She glanced at him.
"That was why I was absent."
Li Feng’s hand, which had been roughly squeezing her breast, suddenly paused.
A look of clear disbelief spread across his face.
"...Peng Jianwei is Eunuch Peng...?"
"And he’s the First Emissary?"
Li Feng’s face remained filled with disbelief.
That chubby eunuch...
The same one who always smiled too readily, the one he had bribed with spirit stones... that man was actually such a monster?
The First Emissary of the Divine Blood Sect.
For a moment, Li Feng could only stare at Fen Ling, the absurdity of it all making his expression harden with a complicated mix of shock and delayed realization.
Fen Ling nodded.
At the same time, her cool fingers continued moving over him with delicate precision, neither stopping nor growing hurried.
"As much as it was a dire situation," Fen Ling continued calmly, "it was also an opportunity to get rid of this troublesome fellow."
Her hand kept its slow, controlled rhythm as she spoke.
"That was why the Azure Moon Sect Leader ordered Leng Qianxue to come... and why my assistance was needed to eliminate him."
Fen Ling let out a quiet sigh.
"...And we failed."
Li Feng stared at her in disbelief.
After all that planning, all that preparation, and so many sacrifices... they still failed to kill the First Emissary?
A heavier thought followed almost immediately.
If his future self hadn’t appeared and turned the situation around, wouldn’t that have meant the dynasty was finished?
And the Azure Moon Sect... for all its schemes and movements behind the scenes, would have achieved nothing in the end?
Li Feng’s expression darkened even further.
The more he thought about it, the more pissed he became.
These days it genuinely felt like he was doing more work than the sect itself.
...But now that he thought about it... wasn’t his original plan to enjoy his life in this cultivation world? Yet somehow he felt like he was way busier than the sect itself cleaning up problems in their territory.
Heck, until now he hadn’t even traveled to the other territories yet.
With that irritable thought, he looked at Fen Ling, then reached out and pulled down the front of her robe without hesitation.
One of her pale, shapely large breasts spilled free into the open air, soft and heavy as it dropped into view.
His hand immediately closed around it directly this time, kneading the bare flesh with a rough grip as he frowned at her.
"How did you fail?" he asked while trying to grip that soft flesh to calm down his irritation.
"I can’t imagine either you or a Grand Elder of the Azure Moon Sect being so incapable... not after preparing so many plans to kill him."
Fen Ling didn’t seem to mind that one of her breasts was now completely exposed.
Seeing her white flesh bulge obscenely through his palm, Fen Ling sighed.
She only gave a wry smile as her hand also moved faster and stronger to lessen his irritation.
"We truly had prepared everything," she said. "Including a deadly formation that weakened him significantly. We were so confident we could finish him off too, but..."
Her hand paused around him.
When she spoke again, her voice carried clear anger.
"...We never expected that Peng Jianwei was truly so shrewd that he even had backup."
"Backup?"
Fen Ling’s face also turned dark.
"Yes... just when we were about to finish him off..."
"...the Second Emissary, the Lone Harbinger, came to save him."
