Sieben Nächte mit Schnee

Kapitel 3

Thinking of this, Lin Feng's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he coldly approached his "sister".

Lan Rou had never seen such intense killing intent in Lan Feng's eyes, nor had she ever seen her with such a ferocious expression. She was startled and somewhat frightened. However, Lan Feng had always been submissive in the past, so she was afraid that her life was threatened. She immediately shouted, "It is Lei Ran who wants you dead!"

Lan Feng loves Lei Ran, and she would die for him. Just as she knew the Crown Princess wanted to harm her but still went down that path, it was all for Lei Ran.

The woman in front of her lowered her head and knelt on the ground, looking very pitiful. Lan Rou chuckled. She thought she had won, won against this older sister who was prettier than her, because she was more useful!

However, this thought lasted for less than three seconds before a cold knife plunged into her chest and twisted!

A piercing, overwhelming pain shot through Lan Rou. She stared in terror at Lin Feng, who was smiling as he pulled the blood-soaked knife. She was wrong! Lin Feng's eyes gleamed with a murderous intent. She didn't care about honor or righteousness. She wasn't that Lan Feng. This woman, this woman…

Lan Rou struggled and gave a cold laugh: "Don't...don't think you can leave...this place is already surrounded by Xi Lan...you will also..." She couldn't catch her breath and died. Lin Feng coldly wiped the blood off his knife, but he was thinking that if what Lan Rou said was true, then she was indeed in danger.

Lin Feng thought for a moment and decided to act according to the situation. No matter how dangerous the surroundings were, he immediately jumped off the carriage.

A gust of cold wind swept over the back of his head! Lin Feng barely noticed it and felt a bead of cold sweat trickle down his forehead.

The four maids in the main text

Danger! Danger!

Lin Feng's intuition, honed from years of navigating danger, told her that something terrible was about to happen. She hadn't expected it to come so quickly; less than two hours after Bei Chen Tian's people left, Xi Lan's people arrived!

Lin Feng quickly channeled his inner energy, and the short knife clashed violently with the opponent's long sword in mid-air. She was knocked back several steps. Although she had tried her best to familiarize herself with the unfamiliar inner energy in her body these past few days, how easy would it be to master something she had never encountered before? She was intelligent, but the path of martial arts was profound and subtle, and it was not something she could easily learn without a teacher.

Lin Feng can only barely use his true energy to resist at the moment. That's all she's figured out. As for sword energy or palm force, don't bother talking nonsense with her.

Lan Feng's background is highly suspicious. First, she's almost certain these past few days that Lan Feng not only knows martial arts, but is a formidable master. Lan Feng possesses a powerful internal energy, unlike ordinary play. The other day, when she wasn't paying attention, her internal energy surged and concentrated in her hand while drinking water; with just a touch, the porcelain cup shattered into powder…

Upon closer inspection, the newcomer was a handsome and imposing man, dressed in silk robes and brocade, with a golden crown binding his hair. He appeared to be between twenty and thirty years old, and the sword in his hand gleamed coldly, clearly no ordinary weapon. Lin Feng then noticed that his own short weapon was already cracked; another strike would likely be fatal.

Although the man was skilled, he was clearly not like Bei Chentian or Lei Ran. Stunned by Lan Feng's stunning beauty, Lin Feng thought to himself, "What a great opportunity!" He quickly turned and fled, disappearing into a large cluster of houses ahead. Her carriage had stopped in a courtyard, with houses connected one after another; even the residents would likely get disoriented once they entered.

In order to escape, Lin Feng didn't care about anything else. He jumped into the courtyard and moved back and forth between the houses. He didn't even know where he was. The man couldn't catch up with him because there were too many courtyards and it was difficult to find him. Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

She soon realized the problem: almost all the houses around looked exactly the same. She wasn't from ancient times, so how could she tell them apart? Getting lost in this place at this time would be absolutely fatal!

If she were discovered in this disguise, her identity would be impossible to hide. No matter how many mouths she had, she couldn't deny that she was Lan Feng. She couldn't very well say that she was a wandering spirit who suddenly possessed someone else, could she? There were people who believed that kind of nonsense, but those people were all mentally unstable!

The most urgent thing is to change my clothes so that others can't easily recognize me.

Lin Feng slipped into the darkness, concealing his presence well, while searching for a way out and for a place where people could be heard.

Finally, half an hour later, she discovered a grand mansion, far more magnificent than the small courtyards she had just passed through. The mansion's four pillars were covered in gold and carved with phoenixes, and the rooftop bore the three large characters "Azure Bird Pavilion." The house's design was also much more imposing. Lin Feng guessed that a woman of high status and position must live there. Laughter could be faintly heard from inside the pavilion, indicating that there were people there, and they were women.

She flipped over and climbed onto the large pillar. Although she didn't know any particularly advanced martial arts, she had figured out that as long as she had internal energy, she could channel it to her feet and jump higher. So this was what was called lightness skill...

There were only three or four maids in the room. One of them was a beautifully dressed girl, about thirteen or fourteen years old. The maids next to her were all around sixteen or seventeen years old and were also pretty.

Lin Feng carefully checked the surroundings. There was no one else around, and the maids didn't seem to have any weapons. The guards had probably all been dispatched to chase Bei Chentian and the others. They were close to the center of the mansion. Without a guide, they probably wouldn't have been able to get in. She was lucky and cautious to have found her way here.

Having made up her mind, she felt much more at ease and secretly smiled, "Don't blame me. It's my fault for running into you at this time. I don't want to die, so you'll have to die instead!"

Lin Feng has always believed in the famous saying, "I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me!" So even now, she has done no shortage of heinous things.

She believes more in the saying, "Good people don't live long, but bad people live a thousand years!" Have you ever seen a villain die young? Usually, villains live to the end, while loyal and virtuous people die one after another.

Unfortunately, Lin Feng has no desire to be one of those villains, so she's destined to be labeled a bad person.

Without hesitation, Lin Feng acted swiftly and decisively! A fierce glint flashed in his eyes as he quietly crept behind the bed. He thought of her, who had single-handedly risen to power in the underworld and become a prominent figure—a genuine feat. Now, she was using methods completely different from those of ancient times. Lin Feng unexpectedly pounced from behind the bed, his small curved blade already drawn. With a swift stroke, he slit the throats of both maids, who didn't even utter a sound.

The elegantly dressed girl tried to call out, but Lin Feng turned around and kicked her swiftly, sending her tumbling to the ground with a dislocated jaw. She couldn't utter a single word, only writhing in pain and making a few whimpering sounds.

Two maids remained in the room. Lin Feng blocking the doorway was tantamount to a death sentence for them. One of the maids suddenly gritted her teeth, pulled a long, sharp hairpin from her hair, rushed behind the other maid, and pierced her throat with the hairpin. The sharp tip of the hairpin was exposed, and blood almost sprayed onto Lin Feng. The maid looked back in disbelief, her eyes rolled back, and she collapsed to the ground.

Amused by the sudden murder and subsequent kneeling of the maid, Lin Feng understood what had happened and chuckled, "Do you think I'd let you go?"

Although the maid was afraid, she remained calm: "Xiaocui believes she has some skills, though not as good as you, Miss. I don't want to stay here. If you are willing to spare my life, I will gladly serve you."

Lin Feng sneered, "How dare I ask you to serve me? You can kill her today, so why can't you kill me tomorrow?"

Xiao Cui calmly replied, "If it were a young lady, I don't think I would have that opportunity."

Lin Feng frowned, a little hesitant. Xiao Cui was undoubtedly a clever and resourceful woman. Moreover, she was new to Yin Sang and didn't understand many things. If something went wrong, he could find a scapegoat.

However, Xiao Cui's intelligence was also a headache for her. She was afraid that Xiao Cui would stab her in the back. Lin Feng didn't like to be on guard against others all the time, and she didn't have the means to control her. She didn't want to take the risk.

Seeing Lin Feng remain silent, Xiao Cui knew that her life was in Lin Feng's hands. Her heart pounded. Judging from Lin Feng's movements just now, she was definitely a master. If she wanted to kill her, it would be as easy as turning her hand.

Just as they were at a stalemate, they suddenly heard a noise by the door. Lin Feng's face darkened, and he casually pressed down on the door, which seemed to be about to be opened. Then he kicked the girl who was trying to open the door to call for help, sending her tumbling back to her original spot. Only then did he remember that he hadn't killed the woman yet. His eyes darted around, and he smiled in a chilling way.

"Xiao Cui, since you're so kind, I, Lin Feng, am not a heartless man. I'll take you in as my maid for now. However, I hate disobedient people the most. Disobedient things are useless to me, just like this one..." Lin Feng smiled and stepped forward. With a swift slash of his small dagger, four streaks of blood flashed, and a cleanly slashed human stub appeared in the room. The girl had already fainted from the pain.

Looking at the smiling Lin Feng, Xiao Cui felt a chill run down her spine. He wasn't "not a heartless person" at all; he was a complete demon! She had originally intended to escape, but now she couldn't muster any resistance. If this woman caught her and turned her into a human stick, she'd rather die.

However, Xiao Cui had been trained and quickly calmed down, saying with lingering fear, "Xiao Cui understands, thank you, young lady..."

Before he could finish speaking, the sounds of soldiers searching outside the courtyard could be heard, presumably searching for Lan Feng.

Xiao Cui hurriedly gestured for Lin Feng to be quiet. She half-opened the window, making it impossible to see inside from the outside, and shouted loudly, "Help! There's an assassin! There's an assassin!"

Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly calmed down. She wanted to see what this little green gourd was up to.

Upon hearing Xiao Cui's voice, a group of soldiers quickly came over, making a ruckus.

"Assassin, where is the assassin, little girl?"
