Chapter 2596 - 2595: Intimidation

After Ling Feng infiltrated the Imperial Palace, he scanned repeatedly with his Divine Sense and quickly found Yekaterina’s sleeping quarters.

He then discovered that the woman was already over sixty years old with a face full of wrinkles!

Ling Feng cursed inwardly, thinking he had expected a blond beauty, but it turned out to be an old hag!

His initial interest disappeared, and now, he only wanted to get down to business.

Despite how the palace was heavily guarded, with numerous visible and hidden sentries protecting their Queen, these people were merely decorations in Ling Feng’s eyes, incapable of actual protection.

After activating the Invisibility Ring, he smoothly snuck into the sleeping quarters and then entered Yekaterina’s room.

Seeing the old woman asleep on the big bed, Ling Feng paused for a moment before stepping forward and first sealing her mute point.

The woman immediately woke up in shock, but she couldn’t make any sound and could only stare dumbfounded at Ling Feng.

"Don’t know who I am, do you?"

Ling Feng sneered, "Let me tell you, I am your nightmare!"

After saying this, he directly took Bakrov out from the Space Ring.

Simultaneously, Ling Feng also sealed his mute point.

As soon as Bakrov appeared, seeing the dim lights around, he was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the Queen lying on the bed, his eyes almost popped out!

Ling Feng tossed him aside and looked at Yekaterina, "Do you know why I’ve come to find you?"

The other couldn’t speak, but having regained composure from her initial terror, she shook her head.

This woman could indeed be considered a Xiao hero; any ordinary woman would have likely fainted long ago.

Ling Feng chuckled and continued, "I come from the Li Dynasty; your petty tricks have been exposed by us. I also know about your secret gathering of troops to invade Li Dynasty lands. I’ve come today to tell you not to harbor futile fantasies!"

After speaking, a flash of brilliance appeared on his body, and the God Slayer Saber emerged, floating in the air.

Yekaterina widened her eyes, now truly fearful.

Yet Ling Feng did not attack her but instead let the knife edge of the God Slayer Saber slide over Bakrov’s neck.

This kid was unlucky too; he had been too arrogant before, and now he became the sacrifice to kill the chicken to warn the monkey!

Before Yekaterina’s eyes, having dealt with her lackey, Ling Feng said, "If you still wish to cling to your thieving heart, then next time this blade will fall on your neck!"

Ling Feng did not wish to kill this woman because he knew human ambition can be suppressed, but it’s impossible to suppress everyone’s ambition.

Taking down this woman would only see a new Queen or Emperor rise, all equally clueless in their approaches to disturb the borders; rather than that, directly issue them mental deterrence!

This tactic was indeed effective; Yekaterina was already older and had never imagined someone could silently invade her chamber. Plus, seeing Bakrov’s separation of body and head, her mental endurance finally reached its limits, causing her to faint with her eyes rolling.

Ling Feng was too lazy to wake her up, feeling his purpose had been achieved, he activated the Invisibility Ring and left the sleeping quarters.

Soon he returned to the spaceship, ordering it to take off, ascending into the air.

However, Ling Feng did not let the spaceship leave but stayed in the skies above the city.

He wanted to see what would happen next.

In the room, Yekaterina was comatose for a long time; two hours later, she gradually woke up, took a deep breath, feeling as if she had had a nightmare.

But smelling a hint of blood in the air, she felt it might not be a dream, so she sat up from her bed and glanced at the floor!

The result of her glance was immediate screaming, a sound as eerie as a night owl’s, terrifically creepy in the deep night!

Countless guards rushed into the sleeping quarters, seeing the person on the floor, the carpet soaked in blood, leaving everyone dumbfounded!

The palace was thrown into chaos, while Ling Feng in the spaceship couldn’t help but laugh, finding it thoroughly enjoyable.

The Queen was evidently severely frightened, no knowing whether she could endure this; if she suddenly died of shock, he would have been busy for nothing.

However, Ling Feng believed she wouldn’t die so easily; after all, as the Queen of a country, there wasn’t anyone in the entire nation who couldn’t handle her, was there?

Sure enough, the whole palace was stirred at this moment; several people who appeared as doctors were already carrying boxes rushing to the sleeping quarters to treat the woman.

Ling Feng watched for a while, with the most concerning matter yet to happen, he had to focus his attention inside the sleeping quarters.

After more chaos, Yekaterina drank calming sedatives which restored her vitality somewhat before she immediately issued the order to withdraw troops.

A batch of people left the palace, flying at top speed to the border to deliver messages; Ling Feng considered his mission accomplished and could rest easy.

After confirming all was well, he turned to look at Xiangxue, noticing her drowsily sitting at her position, feeling quite bored, Ling Feng’s heart suddenly filled with some pity.

He understood her intentions well, Li Chunxi’s arrangements had deeper meaning, and he understood them too.

But amidst tackling the Tsarist Russians, he had indeed neglected her.

After a quick thought, Ling Feng suddenly had an idea, ordering the spaceship to leave here, embarking on the return journey.

However, halfway through, Ling Feng paused the ship, subsequently descending it to the shores of Lake Baikal.

He had been here before, and fondly appreciated the scenery at the lakeside, therefore while passing by, he wished to bring Xiangxue to see it.

Unaware, Xiangxue thought they had returned home when the ship landed; stepping out of the cabin and seeing the azure waters, she froze.

"This place’s scenery is beautiful; we aren’t in a hurry to return home, let’s first tour here," Ling Feng smiled.

Surprised by his words, Xiangxue nodded with a smile, "Okay!"

A gentle breeze blew across the lake, moving her hair, lifting Xiangxue’s mood instantly.

The smile blossomed at her lips; gazing at the lakeside scenery, she curiously asked, "What is this place?"

"This place is quite famous!"

Ling Feng smiled, explaining the story of the lake to her.

Xiangxue listened earnestly, nodding after hearing, "This truly is a wonderful place, better than any scenery I’ve seen before!"

"As long as you like it!"

Ling Feng smiled, then said, "The upcoming time is mainly to keep you happy!"

"Ah? Why?"

Xiangxue paused, asking puzzled.
