Chapter 2641 - 2640: Continuing to Wait

Ling Feng was at a loss for words, seeing Li Xiaonian crying so pitifully, he quickly said, "Okay, okay, if it comes to that, I’ll just get you more drinks in the future!"

"You don’t understand!"

Li Xiaonian cast a tearful glance at him, then awkwardly wiped her tears with the back of her hand, "I’m not that greedy; it’s just that the drinks bring back familiar feelings!"

"Alright then."

Ling Feng didn’t know what else to say; suddenly, he came up with an idea, and looked at her, saying, "How about I take you back to Earth first just to have a look?"

Unexpectedly, Li Xiaonian shook her head, "No, if you take me back now, you’ll still be worrying about the situation here, and I’ll be concerned about the Demon Clan suddenly emerging. We should wait a bit longer!"

"Oh, okay!"

Ling Feng thought it over and realized he was waiting for the barrier to disappear, and wasn’t she worried about this moment too?

Because once the Demon Clan starts their counterattack, the Town-Nation Army will have to fight them bloodily, leading to fierce battles.

At that time, how can the Queen not be present?

Moreover, Li Xiaonian is a very qualified ruler, and she really cares about the lives of her people.

The matter of returning to Earth was temporarily put aside. Ling Feng and Li Xiaonian spent another afternoon on the platform halfway up the mountain.

During this period, Li Xiaonian didn’t stay idle; she asked whatever questions came to mind, and Ling Feng answered them all, withholding almost nothing.

By the evening, Ling Feng made some food for her. Li Xiaonian ate happily, and in the meantime, her gaze towards him subtly changed.

Of course, she has the personality of a mature woman; though she occasionally shows a girlish innocence, as a seasoned Queen, her heart and tactics are not something an average girl can compare to.

So Li Xiaonian didn’t show any peculiar emotion but merely chatted with Ling Feng like old friends for a while.

When night fell, Li Xiaonian returned to her tent.

And Ling Feng, having not rested for some time, didn’t sit up that night either and entered his own tent.

No need to worry about the Demon Clan; with Mu Li and others at the foot of the mountain, they will surely someone responsible for monitoring the movements over there. As soon as there’s any sign of the barrier dissipating, they will immediately send a signal.

Through the night, there was no activity from the Demon Clan.

After waking up in the morning, Ling Feng routinely boiled water and prepared bathing water for Li Xiaonian. He then said to her, "You go ahead and wash first, I’ll go down and have a chat with Mu Li and the others."

"Alright then."

Li Xiaonian didn’t say much and nodded gently.

Ling Feng leaped from the mountain cliff to the camp of Mu Li and the others, where they warmly welcomed him.

They have tasted the food brought by Ling Feng before, experienced carbonated drinks for the first time, and realized once they got used to them, they really are quite tasty.

Moreover, those packaged foods also tasted great.

All these were brought by Ling Feng, and naturally, everyone felt very grateful to him.

"Prince, do you plan to keep waiting up there for that barrier to disappear?" Mu Li asked.

"Yes, but I’ve been here for several days, and there hasn’t been any reaction from there, getting a bit anxious. Does anyone know when it might disappear?" Ling Feng asked.

He came down to find out; after all, the Vermilion Bird Kingdom has been at war with the Demon Clan for many years, so perhaps they understand the patterns or something.

Indeed, Mu Li thought for a moment and said, "According to previous battle patterns, every time the barrier of the Demon Clan has lasted for several months straight!"

"That long?"

Ling Feng frowned upon hearing this.

The rest period of this Demon Clan is far too long; what kind of means have they utilized to store energy, allowing such a massive barrier to be maintained for so long!

He immediately asked, "How long has it lasted this time?"

"Reporting to Prince, it’s been exactly a month as of today," Mu Li replied.

"Damn!"

Ling Feng was dumbfounded upon hearing this.

Doesn’t that mean he’ll have to wait for at least another two or three months?

This is way too long!

While he was speechless, Mu Li suddenly said, "Actually, Prince, there’s no need to be too anxious. In history, there have been exceptions, like the one three hundred years ago, when the Demon Clan only rested for less than a month before emerging!"

"Oh? What was the situation back then?" Ling Feng immediately asked.

"At that time, there emerged a prodigy within the Demon Clan, who used unknown methods to restore the soldiers to a pre-war level in the shortest time. Their numbers surpassed one million, convinced they’d win, they opened the barrier," Mu Li said.

Ling Feng listened, gave an ’oh’, then squinted, "Now, whether there is any genius in the Demon Clan I don’t know, but as the Demon Prince went in, there might just be a chance for the barrier to open early!"

"Right, so Prince, there’s no need to rush, they might just suddenly come out anytime!" Mu Li said.

Ling Feng nodded, looking at him: "If the Demon Clan suddenly emerges, what will you and your men do?"

"We will first resist the Demon Clan until the Queen evacuates, then return to camp," Mu Li said.

Ling Feng heard this, forced a smile and asked, "You have so few people, and wish to confront so many demons, and still think of evacuating? Is that possible?"

"Whether possible or not, we simply cannot leave until the Queen’s safety is ensured!" Mu Li said.

"Your loyalty is commendable, but listen to me. If the Demon Clan emerges, I will ensure the Queen’s safety first, and you are to return to camp immediately to report, letting the rear troops just prepare for battle!" Ling Feng said.

Mu Li hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "I will obey the Prince’s orders!"

"Good!"

Ling Feng patted his shoulder: "I don’t want you to sustain any casualties. Instead of an unnecessary sacrifice here, you’d better return now!"

After chatting for a while, feeling that Li Xiaonian should have finished bathing, Ling Feng bid farewell to the group and flew back to the mountainside.

Indeed, at this moment, Li Xiaonian had changed her clothes, even washed her black attire thoroughly.

Seeing her hair slightly damp, Ling Feng smiled and said, "It’s a pity I don’t have a hairdryer, else I’d help you dry it!"

"There’s no electricity, what good is a hairdryer?" Li Xiaonian said.

"Electricity is actually quite easy to solve."

Ling Feng smiled and continued, "I did bring a small generator after all."

"Oh, alas, your generator can’t possibly meet the needs of my entire Vermilion Bird Kingdom!" Li Xiaonian said.

Ling Feng listened and immediately laughed: "The matters of the Parallel Universe’s Li Dynasty, I haven’t really told you about it, have I? Over there, they already have the experience; transforming your place here is simply child’s play!"
