Feng Wuji’s mind was still in a bewildered state. Seeing the people around him seeming to mock him, he hurriedly took out a mirror and looked into it, nearly flinging the mirror away in shock, "Who is this monster!"
"Although the face has become a bit larger, a bit more swollen, one can still faintly make out the traces of handsome features."
Ling Feng struggled to hold back his laughter and raised a thumbs up to Feng Wuji, "Young Master Fung, it seems you are indeed very handsome!"
This time, even if Feng Wuji was slow, he knew that Ling Feng was simply taking the opportunity to get back at him, having beaten him into a pig-like state.
"You, you little rascal! How dare you insult me!"
Feng Wuji gritted his teeth while snarling, clenching his fists ready to teach Ling Feng a lesson, but he was forcefully held down by Xiahou Lie.
"Aren’t you embarrassed enough already?"
Xiahou Lie glared fiercely at Feng Wuji and coldly said, "Get lost!"
Feng Wuji clenched his fists tightly, and even though he was unwilling, he could only retreat to one side, grinding his teeth as he glared at Ling Feng, swearing in his heart: This isn’t over!
At this moment, Xiahou Lie’s expression was extremely gloomy, staring at Ling Feng with fury that could not be contained. "You scoundrel, do you think I cannot see through these petty tricks of yours?"
His voice was as thunderous as a violent storm, causing a piercing pain in the eardrums.
Anyone could hear that Xiahou Lie was utterly infuriated. If this place wasn’t in the territory of the Sky White Empire, Xiahou Lie would have definitely flattened Ling Feng into powder with a slap.
"What petty tricks?" Ling Feng looked innocent, "This was exactly what Young Master Fung himself repeatedly asked me to do for him, although it was a rather humble request, I was more than happy to oblige!"
"You dog offal, this young master will kill you!"
Hearing Ling Feng’s words, Feng Wuji was so angry he was almost jumping up and down. Had it not been for Jiang Biyi’s scheming to make him suffer intolerable itching, how could he have endured such humbling disgrace.
"Shut your mouth! You have completely disgraced our Empire!"
Xiahou Lie gave Feng Wuji a look, clearly implying: We will settle this later!
"Guards, tie up these three thieves! No one is allowed to insult the descendants of the Tianyang Empire so casually!"
Xiahou Lie turned and called out to his guards.
Just at that moment, Wen Tingguang immediately stood up, shielding Ling Feng, and cupped his fists towards Xiahou Lie, "General Xiahou, the little friction between the juniors is something you, as a General, shouldn’t interfere with, right?"
"Hmph, these three thieves are clearly provoking trouble on purpose. Elder Wen, are you suggesting that when I return to the Tianyang Empire, I should report to the Human Emperor that the Sky White Empire has no intention of maintaining the friendship between the two nations and wishes to wage war?"
Wen Tingguang’s expression froze; this Xiahou Lie was indeed no easy opponent.
In this tense atmosphere, Jiang Biyi seemed completely out of concern, shrugging her shoulders lightly, patting Ling Feng on the back, and saying with a smile, "Hey, bad guy, you really went at it just now, huh?"
Ling Feng raised an eyebrow and glared at this little mischief-maker. "I’ll settle things with you later!"
Jiang Biyi stuck out her tongue playfully, "It’s no big deal, don’t worry about it."
Ling Feng shook his head with a smile; this woman spoke so casually.
However, given her carefree attitude, she must have an impressive background.
Jiang Biyi casually picked up a plate of pastries from the nearby table and handed it to Ling Feng with a beaming smile, "Hey, bad guy, want to have some? It’s on me."
Ling Feng shook his head and smiled, "Those pastries don’t seem to belong to you, right?"
"Mind your own business!" Jiang Biyi pouted, "Someone kindly apologizes to you, and you’re still acting so high and mighty!"
Ling Feng’s mouth twitched slightly, apologizing? That attitude was a bit too sincere, wasn’t it!
At this moment, all the guests in the hall were staring dumbfounded at these two. With both empires on the brink of war, these two still had the nerve to flirt carelessly here?
How big were their hearts!
Xiahou Lie, seeing Ling Feng and Jiang Biyi’s nonchalant attitude, couldn’t help but fume with rage, "Bastards, the two of you, are you even listening to what this general is saying!"
"Pfft! Like I have to listen to you!"
Jiang Biyi placed her hands on her hips, huffily stepped forward, showing no trace of fear as she raised her beautiful eyes to stare at Xiahou Lie, biting her silver teeth, "It was that big bully who provoked me first; we didn’t do anything wrong!"
"You stubborn girl, still so obstinate!" Xiahou Lie raised his palm, flames swirling in his hand, ready to strike at Jiang Biyi’s chest.
If this palm landed, Jiang Biyi’s frail frame would likely explode into a cloud of blood mist!
Ling Feng clenched his fists; despite his shallow friendship with Jiang Biyi, he couldn’t bear to watch her die before his eyes.
Yee Xingnan broke out in a cold sweat from fear. This Little Ancestor was truly fearless; did she think this was still the Holy Land, where nobody dared harm her?
Wen Tingguang hurriedly intervened, but alas, his cultivation was a whole Great Realm below that of Xiahou Lie—how could he stop him?
Just when everyone thought Jiang Biyi was doomed, a pale moonlight-like glow suddenly flickered from within her, casting a gentle light. It withstood Xiahou Lie’s palm and sent him reeling back over a dozen steps!
"What—?" Xiahou Lie’s eyelids twitched uncontrollably; how could this brat have such formidable strength!
"Wow, so the jade pendant she gave me is this powerful!"
Jiang Biyi took out a glowing white jade pendant from within her clothes, saying with a beaming smile.
"Phew..." Yee Xingnan’s tense heart finally relaxed; it turned out that her master had given this Little Ancestor such a Life-saving Talisman.
No wonder, after Jiang Biyi nearly died at the hands of a mere Origin Transformation Realm martial artist, the master had specifically left her with this Life-saving Talisman to prevent this girl from causing trouble and provoking some powerful entity.
"Who exactly are you!"
Xiahou Lie clenched his fists tightly, staring down at Jiang Biyi, gritting his teeth in anger.
In the full view of all present, he had been forced back by a mere girl, a humiliation beyond belief.
"Mind your own business!" Jiang Biyi stuck out her tongue and grabbed Ling Feng’s hand, cheerfully saying, "Bad guy, let’s go. We won’t bother with this bearded guy anymore!"
"Don’t you dare leave!"
Xiahou Lie’s eyes blazed with fury. Regardless of Jiang Biyi, Ling Feng was someone he absolutely refused to let off easily.
However, just as he activated his movement technique, intent on capturing Ling Feng, a shadow swept from the Void, blocking Xiahou Lie’s path. Like an immovable barrier, even Xiahou Lie, a martial artist at the Peak of King-level, could not cross even half a step.
The people in the hall collectively gasped, this aura—it was unmistakably that of a Human Emperor-level power!
