Sieben Nächte mit Schnee

Kapitel 58

Bei Chen Tian said calmly, his tone steady yet firm: "Lin Feng, I will not establish a harem or take concubines, much less throw you into such a boring place. I know very well who you are. I don't care what the world thinks of me or what they say about me! You should understand that if it's just a relationship between a man and a woman, I can never be with you! Lin Feng, be my Dark King, forever my Dark King, okay?"

To remain the Dark King forever? With ample privileges, power, and wealth, it doesn't seem so bad...

Lin Feng smiled faintly, without answering, and pushed aside the thorns at the cave entrance to crawl out. Even though Bei Chentian knew that this woman was always so ruthless, he still felt a bit helpless and disappointed. Just as he was smiling bitterly, he suddenly saw that the thorns had been pushed aside again, and Lin Feng's face appeared at the cave entrance, pouting at him.

"If I really fall into Lei Ran's hands, then... I'll be waiting for the day you bring your army!"

Their eyes met in mid-air, and a tacit understanding unconsciously spread around them. Lin Feng curled his lips, put down the thorns, and darted out of the area in a few steps, heading rapidly towards the foot of the mountain on the other side in the night.

She searched cautiously, her heart pounding with fear. Hiding among the dense foliage of tall trees, she found a giant tree and climbed up. Looking out into the distance, she gasped in shock! The entire forest was densely packed with soldiers, and there were many people patrolling the area. Although she couldn't find Bei Chentian for the time being, given enough time, it was hard to guarantee that she wouldn't be exposed.

Lin Feng took a slow breath, quietly landed on the ground, and slowly lay in ambush among the tall grass. A ten-man squad was slowly creeping towards her from afar. Lin Feng gripped her dagger tightly, picked up a pebble, and suddenly threw it at a rabbit not far away. A sound came from the other side, and several soldiers exclaimed, "Who's there!"

"Go take a look!" With hurried steps, four or five soldiers automatically separated and headed in that direction.

Moving stealthily, Lin Feng swiftly approached the five soldiers who were still searching and waiting for news. His eyes flashed with cold light, and several sharp glints appeared. The five corpses fell silently to the ground. He changed one of the soldiers' clothes and hastily threw the body into a dense area of vegetation. Just in case, he turned around and found the other five to kill them all. Only then did he rush towards the foot of the mountain.

The dark and deep forest at night seemed to hold something that could emerge at any moment. The guards were drowsy and kept yawning. Just then, they suddenly saw something fall from the night sky onto the heads of the group of people. Before they could even react, there was a loud "boom!" and the area turned into a sea of fire!

"Enemy attack! Someone is attacking!" With a scream, another area burst into flames. The soldiers were terrified and ran away shouting in all directions. The entire defensive line was thrown into chaos!

"Bang!" "Bang!" Two more extremely loud explosions rang out, the sound of which almost shook the entire mountain range. All the soldiers on the mountain heard the sound, and the search team immediately rushed towards that place like a tidal wave!

Lin Feng messed up his hair, smeared mud on his face, and took advantage of the chaos of the explosion to rush into a group of soldiers. He slowly broke through the outer circle with the soldiers and was about to get out of the encirclement of this army. He could almost see the vast land outside the encirclement when a very gloomy voice suddenly rang out in front of him.

"Lan Feng, where do you want to go?"

Lei Ran, dressed in black brocade, suddenly appeared at the end of the crowd with her chiseled face. A large group of soldiers around her were suddenly pushed back by more than thirty black-clad assassins. However, in the blink of an eye, cold blades had surrounded her.

A bead of cold sweat appeared on Lin Feng's forehead. Among so many experts, she was bound to have no way to escape, not to mention the countless soldiers around her. At that moment, she could only throw away the dagger in her hand and purse her lips helplessly.

Beside Lei Ran, several large black dogs were drooling, their eyes fixed on Lin Feng, barking a few times...

In an instant, Lin Feng felt like she wanted to die. She finally understood why these people knew her whereabouts! It must be that Che Chi's people, following Lei Ran's instructions, had tampered with her food or clothes, which was why they had been chasing her all this way. If it was just special spices and not poison, they wouldn't have been able to detect it, let alone appreciate it. Who knew that Lei Ran would actually pull this trick on her!

Lin Feng cursed inwardly.

Damn it, I've been a ruthless and bloodthirsty woman my whole life, never losing to anyone, and today I've been defeated by a few bastards! I'll f*** you...

Chapter Fifty-Nine: Threat

"Why aren't you using your sorcery? Sorcery has its limits, doesn't it?"

Lei Ran's handsome face, gloomy and arrogant, watched Lin Feng from a short distance away with a cold smile. The gleaming swords and blades around her made her hesitant to make any rash moves. After glancing around, she realized this was Lei Ran's entire force, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. With such chaos, Bei Chen Tian must have escaped. That man always seized opportunities; if he couldn't escape even this way, Lin Feng didn't expect him to come to her rescue with his army.

Although he had fallen into Lei Ran's hands, Lin Feng felt no tension whatsoever. Seeing that everyone around him looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy, he curled his lip in disdain and actually plopped down on the floor...

Lei Ran stood upright in front, gloating as he watched Lin Feng being captured, expecting the woman to crawl over and beg for mercy. But what he saw next was astonishing; his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. What was she doing? She just casually plopped down on the ground? She even used her hands as pillows and lay down for a nap? Was this... the attitude of a prisoner?

Just as she was getting furious, Lin Feng, of all people, casually added fuel to the fire: "Hey, you there, surnamed Lei, you've got your grandma trapped here, neither killing her nor releasing her, what are you trying to do? You don't mean to invite me to your house for dinner, do you? I appreciate your kindness, but I'm in a hurry, so I won't go. Could you please get rid of these guards of yours? Being pointed at with swords is really not a pleasant feeling."

As she spoke, she glanced around at the assassins pointing their swords at her and let out a loud whistle.

Everyone's eyes widened, and their mouths were big enough to fit a whole watermelon.

Even though these black-clad assassins were ruthless and cold-blooded, they were almost scared out of their minds by this woman on the spot!

These people were all Lei Ran's confidants, so of course they knew what kind of person Consort Feng used to be. Was this the same timid, gentle, and submissive Consort Feng? Everyone blinked and looked at this woman who looked up at the sky, disregarded everyone, and addressed everyone as "Grandma" with an arrogant and domineering attitude. They suddenly felt that this world was really too dark!

What a kind and gentle woman! She went out for a stroll and was forced into this state. The outside world is truly terrifying!

Lei Ran was furious. He quickly stepped forward to Lin Feng, his eyes flashing with cold light as he glared at him and roared, "Lan Feng! Do you really think I wouldn't dare to do anything to you?"

"Tch, if you dare to do anything to me, I'd have someone cut me into ten or eight pieces. Why would I need to make such a fuss here? Kid, you're still a kid and you're trying to play with your grandma? You're too green. Go back and drink milk for two years!" Lin Feng waved his hand casually, and the gasps of the crowd around him were so loud that they almost turned the hilltop into a vacuum.

Is this woman insane?! She actually... she actually provoked King Tiancheng! Doesn't she know that King Tiancheng is known for his ruthlessness?

"You want to die? I'll make sure you don't! I'll make you suffer endless torment, wishing you were dead!" Lei Ran's eyes flashed with a sinister light as he casually drew a large sword from the side and glared fiercely at Lin Feng. But then, his gaze was drawn to a small ball that Lin Feng was tossing up and down in his hand...

"Sorcery! It's that sorcery!"

The soldiers' eyes were filled with endless terror, and many of them had the idea of retreating. Some even wanted to turn around and run away, but Lei Ran shouted angrily and stopped them: "Anyone who dares to desert will be executed along with his entire family!"

After that shout, the people around him finally regained their footing, but their eyes were filled with fear and horror as they looked at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng ignored his roar, tossing the cluster of phosphorus fireballs in his hand, and sneered coldly, "King Lei, since you want me to suffer a fate worse than death, I might as well die. I just wonder if you can escape safely once this cluster of phosphorus fireballs detonates, given your lightness skill? How many of your loyal subordinates will be left? Hehehehe... My dear King Lei, I've always known you're incredibly brave, so don't back down, or I might do something irrational! And don't think your martial arts are so superior. You know my martial arts are not bad either. Even if Yin Qing were right next to me and shattered my heart meridian with a single palm strike, it wouldn't stop me from detonating this cluster of phosphorus fireballs. At worst, we'll all die together, and none of us will escape!"

After he finished speaking, a hush fell over the surroundings, and everyone felt uneasy.

No one doubted the power of the small ball. The screams of the soldiers were still ringing in their ears. The flames were like the angry breath of a god, taking away too many lives in an instant. Some bodies were even blown to pieces. It was extremely tragic. There were many people who went to the battlefield, but very few of them had their bodies blown to ashes. The thought of being reduced to dust sent chills down everyone's spine.

Lei Ran was shocked, and suddenly realized that she had provoked him earlier with a purpose: "You deliberately provoked me so that I would come to your side!"

"Oh my, as expected of the Heavenly Thunder King, how are you so clever that you actually figured it out!" Lin Feng praised sincerely, his innocent tone enough to make anyone furious: "Who told you to be so slow and unwilling to come over? I had no choice but to use some tricks, otherwise how could I use this 'bargaining chip' to have a proper talk with you?"

The phosphorescent fire bomb in Lin Feng's hand was the last one she had. She dared not use it to threaten Lei Ran unless they were very close. The reason she hadn't used it before was because she was making a final preparation. Lei Ran's martial arts were too high. If she threw it and it didn't kill him, she would be finished. So she could only pretend to be captured and then lure him to her side in order to take the initiative.

Lei Ran nearly fainted from anger. How could it be that he was in the wrong? If he had known she was playing this trick, he would have stayed far away long ago. How could he have come here and given her something to use against him?

"Are you... threatening me?" Gritting her teeth, Lei Ran stared intently at Lin Feng, only to be frustrated to discover that this woman was truly not afraid of him at all!

"Thunder King, Thunder King, how can you say that?" Lin Feng shook his head, looking very disdainful. "You spent so many people and made such a grand show, saying you wanted to invite me, the Dark King of Beichen, to your place for a visit and some drinks. I just wanted to offer you a small suggestion and have a calm conversation with you, and you actually hurt my feelings like this, turning my 'good intentions' into a threat? Don't you think you've gone too far?"

What? Just visiting, having a drink? When did he say that? How come he didn't know?

Lei Ran was dumbfounded as he listened to Lin Feng's fluent words.
