Chapter 2634 - 2633: Queen

Tian Lian turned her head for a glance, discovering the black barrier, she paused momentarily, and then said, "Master, I need to go over and take a look to find out what that thing is."

"Okay, go ahead!"

Ling Feng nodded.

Tian Lian floated up gracefully and quickly disappeared.

After quite a while, she returned to Ling Feng’s side and then said solemnly, "Master, it’s condensed with energy, indeed it can prevent anything from infiltrating."

"So, there’s really no way to break it?"

Ling Feng looked disappointed.

"This energy body requires a huge amount of energy to sustain, and with such a large area, I think it won’t last too long," Tian Lian said.

"Oh, is that so?"

Ling Feng nodded after listening, then said, "That’s good, I also don’t want to waste too much time here, let’s check back later!"

"Hmm!"

Tian Lian nodded, standing quietly by the side without saying another word.

Ling Feng couldn’t think of any topics to chat about with her, so he had to sit sulkily for a while.

Later, he raised his head to look at Tian Lian, "Why don’t you go back to the Jade Token Space?"

Upon saying this, Tian Lian hesitated for a moment, then instead of leaving, she sat down, "If the Master feels depressed, I will stay with you."

Ling Feng looked at her, "You’re not really good at chatting."

"But having someone by your side is much better than being alone," Tian Lian said.

"Alright then."

Ling Feng nodded, then smiled and said, "Since you’re willing to accompany me, let’s not just sit foolishly, let’s eat something and drink some wine!"

"Alright."

Tian Lian nodded.

After that, Ling Feng got busy again.

As night fell, under the firelight, the two sat facing each other, drinking and swapping cups.

Ever since he took her in until now, it was the first time Ling Feng and Tian Lian drank face-to-face and chatted like this, which never happened before.

Ling Feng knew her loyalty, also knew that she was a real person with substance, but never had any romantic thoughts about her.

As for Tian Lian, whether she’s wooden or inherently emotionless, always showed no expression, always did whatever Ling Feng instructed without ever expressing any emotions.

Now the same, even though she was drinking with Ling Feng, her face was somewhat flushed, still her face showed no expressions, no sign of emotions.

But Ling Feng only needed companionship, and thus he was quite satisfied.

Later that night, after a full bottle of high-proof rice wine, Ling Feng started feeling a bit tipsy.

He didn’t bother to dissolve the alcohol in his body, just stared out at the black wilderness, dazing for a while.

Just as he was about to tell Tian Lian she didn’t have to stay with him, a golden light suddenly flashed in the distance, then turned directly towards here flying over.

Ling Feng felt puzzled, but he didn’t move, simply activated his Divine Sense.

Soon, he saw the person flying over was Mu Li!

Obviously, he sensed the firelight here, and that’s why he came.

Arriving close, Mu Li landed from the air and smiled at Ling Feng, "Mr. Ling has quite the leisure!"

"Not really, just passing time!"

Ling Feng chuckled and then asked, "General Mu Li, what brings you out at night?"

"I came specifically to find Mr. Ling!"

Mu Li said a sentence, then slightly bowed in salute, "Our queen, upon hearing about Mr. Ling, has rushed here overnight, she is now in the military camp and would like to invite you for a meeting."

Ling Feng was stunned for a moment, previously when inviting him to the Royal City he didn’t agree, unexpectedly their queen pursued him all the way here!

After a brief shock, Ling Feng smiled wryly, "Why?"

"Having heard of Mr. Ling’s prowess, the queen wishes to meet you personally!" Mu Li said respectfully.

Being sought out at this late hour, Ling Feng couldn’t find any reasons to refuse, so he nodded and said, "Alright then."

After speaking, he stood up, tidied up the things around him, and without needing him to say, Tian Lian transformed into a white light and disappeared, returning to the Jade Token Space.

Afterwards, he followed Mu Li, leaving toward the Town-Nation Army’s camp.

Upon arriving at the destination, seeing a brightly lit area within the camp, Ling Feng knew that was likely where the Vermilion Bird Kingdom’s queen was.

Sure enough, Mu Li was flying toward there as well.

Upon arriving, the soldiers seeing him immediately dispersed to make way.

This was the same tent Ling Feng had visited before, but evidently now with the queen here, this place was no longer Mu Li’s.

Approaching the tent’s entrance, Mu Li bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Ling Feng has been found and invited here!"

"Good, please come in!"

A woman’s voice came from inside the tent.

Mu Li pulled the curtains open, and Ling Feng stepped inside.

Inside the tent were several women, from their attire it was clear they were servants attending the queen, the true queen was the one sitting on the couch.

This woman had her hair tied up, simply gathered at the nape, dressed in a white gown that seemed quite plain, yet her presence held a certain heroism!

Thin eyebrows and phoenix eyes, gaze like lightning, although appearing to be only in her twenties, the sharp look in her eyes gave the impression of a wealth of experience, suggesting she was at least in her thirties!

With Ling Feng’s experience judging people, a typical young girl’s eyes wouldn’t carry such a look.

Standing firm, Ling Feng didn’t offer a greeting, not knowing the local etiquette anyway, he simply smiled and said, "Your Majesty, hello!"

"Good!"

The queen nodded, sizing up Ling Feng, then said faintly, "Mr. Ling, please be seated."

Ling Feng didn’t hesitate, sitting directly on the chair opposite her.

Mu Li stood by his side.

The queen of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom reclined sideways on the couch, glancing at Ling Feng, asking casually, "I heard Mr. Ling came from another world, in pursuit of a Demon King from the Demon Clan, is that correct?"

"Yes, we have some grievances, so I ventured into this Xuanxu Realm, but I didn’t know there were humans here," Ling Feng said.

The queen let out an ’oh’, then asked, "In your world, you use the same language as ours?"

Worthy of a queen, the direction of her questions was unique.

Ling Feng chuckled and shook his head, said, "No, our language is completely different from yours, I learned it upon arriving here!"

"Oh, that’s impressive!"

The queen nodded, her eyes sparkling, and said to those next to her, "Everyone, leave, I wish to chat with Mr. Ling alone!"

Upon hearing, the servants and Mu Li promptly turned to leave the tent.

It was then just Ling Feng and the queen, who suddenly smiled lightly, "Alright, with nobody here, let me introduce myself again, my name is Li Xiaonian."
