Chapter 2636 - 2635: Prince of Equal Standing

Faced with Li Xiaonian’s confusion, Ling Feng could only smile wryly, "Yes, speaking of which, it’s really quite embarrassing!"

"No, no, I didn’t mean that. I just think your abilities are practically godlike. Could it be that the Demon Clan is really that powerful?" Li Xiaonian asked.

"It’s not that they are so powerful; the Demon Clan just has a special method to maintain the barrier by consuming energy. Unless the energy runs out, there’s no way around it," Ling Feng explained.

"So that’s how it is!"

Li Xiaonian nodded after listening, then said, "In that case, you should be patient and wait a bit longer. Anyway, they’ll eventually run out of energy!"

"Yes, I hope this time we can execute the demon spawn directly, and forever eliminate the troubles!" Ling Feng nodded.

"I believe you can do it!"

Li Xiaonian nodded seriously.

The servants quickly delivered exquisite food, and seeing these things, Ling Feng chuckled in his heart.

After all, women still have quite refined tastes in food.

These foods are basically all flour-based, but with a wide variety and different preparations. The only thing that felt familiar to Ling Feng was that these are mostly food varieties from Huaxia.

After tasting, he looked up at Li Xiaonian, "Little Nian, you invented all this after you came here, didn’t you?"

"You guessed it!"

In front of Ling Feng, Li Xiaonian showed no sense of pretense and nodded, "Before I came, the food here was very monotonous; even the Queen could only eat gruel, it was too awful!"

"Maybe the cultivation civilization is like that, not caring about food at all," Ling Feng laughed.

"Isn’t it so? People here are very obsessed with cultivation; children start practicing cultivation techniques as young as three or four years old. I once tried to change this habit but found it impossible!" Li Xiaonian said.

"It’s not just the need of civilians; actually, the country also needs warriors, right?" Ling Feng asked.

"Right!"

Li Xiaonian nodded, "We’ve been fighting the Demon Clan for so many years, without sufficient troops, it’s impossible. If we stopped people from cultivating, humans here would eventually face extinction!"

At this point, she sighed, "I truly miss the peaceful life of our Huaxia; here the only focus every day is war, war!"

Seeing her worried expression, just like a neighborhood sister troubled over what to cook for dinner, Ling Feng laughed, "Since we’re all Huaxia people, I won’t be polite with you. Once the Demon Clan’s barrier opens, I’ll help you completely eradicate them!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaonian instantly lit up with happiness.

Her eyes turned into crescents as she seriously looked at Ling Feng, "That’s what you said, no backing out!"

"Of course, I won’t back out!"

Ling Feng nodded.

The two shared a smile, suddenly feeling much closer.

After breakfast, the sound of soldiers training came from outside. Li Xiaonian looked at Ling Feng, "Want to go out and watch with me?"

"Sure."

Ling Feng nodded, then knowingly said, "I’ll wait for you outside."

"Okay!"

Li Xiaonian nodded.

After Ling Feng went out, she stood up, swiftly changed clothes.

When she came out, she was dressed in a black dress.

Seeing her in this outfit, Ling Feng secretly nodded, thinking it made her look even more valiant.

But the few servants who came with the Queen were terrified, because serving the Queen was their duty, and if she changed clothes herself, wouldn’t that mean they were negligent?

So several of them knelt down, pleading for the Queen’s forgiveness.

In front of so many people, Li Xiaonian resumed her Queenly aura, looking at them and said solemnly, "This time it’s not your fault, stand up!"

"Thank you, Queen!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and carefully stood up.

Then Li Xiaonian announced loudly, "Mr. Ling Feng is a distinguished guest of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom, and also my honored guest. From today onwards, I appoint him as the Joint King of our kingdom!"

"Wow!"

Everyone present was taken aback!

Ling Feng was also stunned, completely not expecting her to pull such a move.

Before he could say anything, aside from Li Xiaonian, everyone else knelt down and began to salute him!

Ling Feng, feeling helpless, saw the trace of wry cunning in Li Xiaonian’s eyes, he could only smile wryly, "Everyone, please stand up, there’s no need for such formalities, I’m not used to such big ceremonies!"

After everyone rose, he thanked Li Xiaonian, "Thank you, Queen, for the honor."

"From now, the corresponding affairs of the Town-Nation Army will be entrusted to you!" Li Xiaonian said.

"Uh..."

Ling Feng was even more speechless upon hearing this, quickly saying, "Your Majesty, the Town-Nation Army already has commanders, for me to suddenly take over, unfamiliar with military affairs, it’s difficult to win people over, so I’d rather be a consultant!"

"Yes, that idea is good too!"

Li Xiaonian nodded, then said, "Then you’ll be the Chief Consultant of the Town-Nation Army!"

"Okay, thank you, Queen!"

Ling Feng was outwardly respectful, but inwardly grumbled, this woman actually took advantage of me, insisted on tying me to the Vermilion Bird Kingdom’s chariot!

Li Xiaonian was secretly pleased, feeling she had guessed right, Ling Feng was a person of great overall vision, and in front of so many people, he still preserved her face.

Of course, alongside being pleased, she was quite touched inside.

Afterward, surrounded by a group of people, Li Xiaonian and Ling Feng went up to a high platform in the camp, then saw the scene of soldiers training below.

The soldiers of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom are basically at the Peak refinement level, and the cultivation techniques they practice are quite special, able to quickly enhance their realm, but having just realm isn’t enough, they also need some combat skills.

So now the soldiers are training the Town-Nation Army’s enemy-killing techniques.

Ling Feng watched for a while, feeling the army spirit was very strong, perhaps because of the Queen’s presence.

But watching the state of army drills on site, he still felt Li Xiaonian had quite a knack for managing the military.

With no one around, Ling Feng lowered his voice to ask, "Sis, did you devise this army training method?"

"Yes, during university we had military training, I used everything I learned!" Li Xiaonian revealed.

Ling Feng smiled knowingly, "Well, that explains it!"

The two whispered, thinking others hadn’t noticed, but in fact, many of the officers around observed this scene with great astonishment!

Because everyone knew very well, the Queen was generally swift and decisive, her personality very cold, yet she now had a smile for Mr. Ling Feng?
