The Hooligan in Another World

Chapter 126 Finally Making a Move

“Your Highness, this brat from the Lin Family is in high spirits, he’s not easy to deal with!” Si Lan bowed obsequiously.

“Hmph, We know that he’s difficult to handle. If he was easy to handle, We wouldn’t have run all the way here from Capital City. Just do as I say.” Empress Zhou rose with her hands behind her back in deep thought.

"I will listen to Your Highness's every order." Si Lan bent at a ninety degree angle. This gesture made him look even more humble given his short height.

"Clean up the dungeons in the city. Kill those who deserve to be killed and kill those who don't." Empress Zhou looked out of the hall and said casually.

"Your Highness, there's an dungeon in the mayor’s mansion. It can be used at any time," Si Lan said as though he was presenting a treasure.

"Well, how about this? As the city mayor, you invite the little bast*rd of the Lin Family to drink wine with you. Invite him alone. If he doesn't come, you can give this to him and say that an acquaintance of the capital gave it to you." Empress Zhou threw a letter on the table.

“I will definitely do it well.” Si Lan bowed and went to the table to pick up the letter.

"The banquet will be held in City Lord Manor. The dungeons will be prepared. Go ahead." Empress Zhou could not be bothered with Si Lan.

After Si Lan left, Empress Zhou reached out her hand to beckon the masters who came with her.

"Your Highness, do you have any instructions?" Zhou Li led several people forward and asked.

Zhou Li was an orphan adopted by Prime Minister Zhou. After decades of teaching, he had become a rare master. Usually, he followed Prime Minister Zhou around. He was sent to Empress Zhou's side because of a serious matter.

"Lin Feng will come. If he surrenders, you don't have to appear. A few maids are enough," Empress Zhou said.

"If he resists, you should listen to my orders and try to stop him as fast as possible. After all, this matter cannot be exposed. Also, pay attention to that Si Lan. There is no need for him to stay after things are settled." These vicious words were common for Empress Zhou.

It had been a whole day since he returned, and the army was busy with training. Lin Feng sat in his tent, enjoying the tea made by Zhou Lingshu. His life was extremely comfortable.

As he looked at Zhou Lingshu, his heart began to itch. There was nothing he could do about it in broad daylight. Yesterday, he had wanted to hug Zhou Lingshu, but she had said that she would only do so when his injuries recovered. Wasn’t this a form of torment?

“Patriarch, the governor of Rhein City, Si Lan, came to see you.” Lin Ke entered and said.

“No, I’m not in the mood.” Lin Feng did not even bother to raise his head. What nonsense, who would abandon a beautiful woman to meet a mayor? What did that have to do with him?

Lin Ke nodded and left.

“Lingshu, you said that the battle is over and everything is stable. Do I have to go to the Magic Guild to level up?” Lin Feng leaned against the chair and crossed his legs.

“Mm, it’s fine if you don’t go. It’s best if you go. The identity of a magician is highly respected.” Zhou Lingshu said as she continued studying the map of the borders.

“Patriarch, he said that there is an important matter, and he must see you.” Lin Ke once again walked into the tent and said.

“Fu*k, is what is it? Throw him out!” Lin Feng was furious. He couldn’t even have a proper conversation with Zhou Lingshu.

“Ask him to come in and see if there’s anything important. If not, it wouldn’t be too late to blast him.” Zhou Lingshu stood up and said.

Lin Feng impatiently said, “Alright, call him in and see if there’s anything. Once he is done, tell him to scram.”

In a few breaths of time, Lin Ke brought Si Lan into the tent.

“Greetings, General Lin, I am the mayor of Rhein City. Your power is the true blessing of the people of Rhein City.” Si Lan bowed and said respectfully.

“I’ve heard that you have something important to discuss with me? Go ahead!” Lin Feng did not even bother to stand up.

“I am thanking you on behalf of the citizens of Rhein City. Tonight, we will set up a banquet at the mayor’s mansion to invite you to dinner.” Si Lan continued to bow as he spoke.

“I don’t have time, nor am I interested. Thank you for your kind intentions, uncle Ke.” D*mned, Lin Feng had the urge to curse again.

“Wait.” Si Lan saw that he couldn’t get Lin Feng to be insterested and could only take out Empress Zhou’s letter.

“What else is there? Speak in one go. I don’t have time to waste with you.” Lin Feng was furious.

"General, please don't be angry. This is an old friend from Capital City. He asked me to hand this letter over to you," Si Lan said with a fake smile.

Lin Feng took the letter and opened it. After reading it, his expression changed. Combat Qi surged in his hand and the letter turned into powder.

“Where is he? Bring me to see him.” Lin Feng stood up.

“General, please follow me to the banquet and you’ll be able to meet.” Si Lan was a bit confused. What exactly did the empress write in that letter?! It made this youngster lose his footing.

“Let’s go.” Lin Feng roared. The contents of the letter shocked Lin Feng.

Out of the tent, Lin Ke and the shadow guard followed closely behind. Now all the members of the Lin Family were worried about Lin Feng's safety.

Si Lan stood still and turned to look at Lin Ke, the shadow guard, and Zhou Lingshu.

Lin Feng turned around and said, “Don’t follow. Be on standby.”

“Yes!” Even though they were extremely worried, they couldn’t disobey the orders.

Lin Feng wanted to see who was plotting against his family and his aunt. The letter said that if he did not go, or if he did not go alone, he would collect Lin Tianjiao's body.

“When did aunt get poisoned? Blood Melting Silkworm? What is that?” Lin Feng was puzzled.

Si Lan muttered in his heart. Now the Firedance Corp and the Lin Family all knew that Lin Feng had gone with him. If something happened, no one would know that it was the Empress who did it. But what about him? Would they let him go? His politic career had come to an end. He hoped that he could be rewarded with some rewards and live in reclusion.

Following Si Lan, Lin Feng arrived at a relatively remote courtyard in the mayor’s mansion. When he saw Empress Zhou sitting beside the table, Lin Feng immediately understood that everything was arranged by Empress Zhou. It seemed like what the letter said was true, so he simply let go and sat opposite Empress Zhou.

Empress Zhou signaled to her maids with her eyes, and two of the four maids left.

Lin Feng disdainfully said, “No need to investigate, I will do it myself.”

"Haha, you're direct enough, you're imposing enough." Said the Empress Zhou as she clapped her hands.

“I don’t have time to waste with you. Is my aunt really poisoned?” Lin Feng narrowed his eyes. At this moment, Lin Feng had killing intent towards this woman who looked like a fairy yet a venomous heart.

"Want to kill me? Can you do that?" Empress Zhou seemed to understand Lin Feng's thoughts.

“Haha, what a good plan. Right now, I need to know if my aunt was poisoned or not.” Lin Feng suppressed the anger in his heart and said.

“Of course it’s true. To tell you the truth, I placed several Blood Melting Worms in your aunt’s nest two years ago. Even though her cultivation is very high, she couldn’t sense it. Because these silkworms are as thin as hair, they won’t have any effect when activated. However, once I use a catalyst to activate them, they will crazily devour blood. I’m sure I don’t need to tell you the result.” Empress Zhou chuckled.

“You think I’ll believe you just because you said so?” Lin Feng retorted. Actually, Lin Feng already believed that what Empress Zhou said was absolutely true.

"Let me show you." Empress Zhou took out a small bottle from her sleeve and a hairpin from her hair. She opened the small bottle, tapped it with the hairpin, put it in the tea in front of her, and pushed it towards Lin Feng.

Accepting the tea, Lin Feng couldn’t help but release killing intent. If it weren’t for Lin Tianqiao, Lin Feng would have killed her by now. Even if he couldn’t kill her, he would try. However, for Lin Tianqiao’s sake, he endured. That was because Lin Feng saw a few red dots in the tea. They scattered and turned into strands that looked like red hair.

“What do you want? Where is the antidote?” Asked Lin Feng.

"Good. I have the antidote, but I want you to surrender. Are you willing to do that?" Empress Zhou smiled happily.

Lin Feng did not expect that this enchanting woman would have such a vicious heart.

“Am I really so stupid? Surrender without a fight and save my aunt? I haven’t seen the antidote by now.” Lin Feng secretly cursed as he sneered. Did this woman think she have everything in plan?

"As long as you surrender, I swear to save your aunt because she can't make any waves alone. Otherwise, I would have taken action long ago."

Lin Feng pondered. Should he really just give up? If he did, he would die. But was he that selfish as to ignore the pitiful Lin Tianjiao? Forget it. Even if he resisted, it was useless. Lin Feng had long since sensed the people lying in ambush around the courtyard. It was impossible for him to leave.

“Let me see the antidote. I will surrender.” Lin Feng stood up and said.

"Okay, don't plan to rob it. To tell you the truth, there is only one antidote in this world. If I accidentally destroy it, she will die." Empress Zhou smiled and said.

“I won’t snatch it. I hope that you won’t go back on your word. Without me, my aunt, that pitiful woman, will not be able to make any difference.” Lin Feng smiled indifferently. Damnit, he would sacrifice for once. If he was lucky, he would transmigrate again.

“Only the Dark Ice Silkworm can remove the poison, and the Dark Ice Silkworm is also the catalyst. The living Dark Ice Silkworm will activate when it reaches the victim. If a dead Dark Ice Silkworm is ground into powder and fed to a poisoned person, then the Blood Melting Worm will die. It can be suppressed for a year without wine, it’s that simple. This black jade bottle contains the Dark Ice Silkworm. Of course, this bottle can isolate its aura, otherwise, your aunt would have died several times over.” Empress Zhou explained in detail after seeing that Lin Feng had accepted his fate.

“Send this to the barracks and hand it over to the Lin Family. Once they get the antidot, I will surrender.” Lin Feng’s expression was cold as he spoke.

"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. Without the corpse powder, the Blood Melting Worm will activate within a year. In the past, I didn't want to kill Lin Tianjiao. Every year, I would find an opportunity to help her suppress the Blood Melting Worm. Now, if you talk nonsense again, I will directly destroy this bottle," Empress Zhou held up the bottle and said fiercely.
