Heading to the Insectoid Imperial Capital
"I've been waiting for you for a long time. Was the journey smooth?"
Xia Fei turned toward the source of the voice and saw a beautiful insectoid woman reclining on a soft couch. She was looking in his direction with a pair of watery and smiling eyes. There was no one else besides her.
The room was filled with an alluring aroma. This woman was wearing a translucent muslin, and her tender and smooth white body could be vaguely seen. A pair of plump breasts could be seen on her chest.
What a scene of a drunken beauty lying on a bed. That voice, that style, that gaze that seemed to be both rejecting and welcoming, all of it caused one's mind to be captivated. Even Halleh couldn't help but be stunned.
Xia Fei furrowed his brows, his eyes vigilantly looking around the room as he lightly poked Halleh's waist with his finger.
Halleh seemed to have woken up from a dream. With a red face, he awkwardly said, "Niece Qingyan is growing more and more beautiful."
Watching the servant leave, Halleh pulled Xia Fei into the room and sat down in front of the coffee table, whispering, "That's the elite human warrior, Xia Fei. He's the one who killed eighteen high-rank Sacred Warriors and stole what Uti obtained from the Panhuman Alliance. He's now our ally and will assist us in our counterattack against Uti."
Qingyan's eyes scanned Xia Feis body. Xia Feis body was wrapped up tightly, so Qingyan could not make out his appearance and could not help but feel slightly disappointed.
"This is the Qing family's ancestral home, and all the servants here have gone through strict inspection. Brother Xia Fei, why don't you take off your mask and get some fresh air?" Qingyan probed.
Xia Fei shook his head. This is pretty good.
Qingyan tucked her long hair behind her back, shaking her fair neck and alluring breasts. "I just want to take a look at you."
Xia Fei softly said, "Big sis Qingyan, I'm younger than you, so I should be the one calling you big sis." "Big sis Qingyan, I'm younger than you, so I should be calling you big sis."
Qingyan's movements came to a screeching halt, her expression a little embarrassed. No matter where she was, Qingyan's flirtatious demeanor would always make people drool over her, and Xia Fei was the first man to remain unmoved. What made her even angrier was that Xia Fei had unceremoniously pointed out that she was older than him.
Age had always been a woman's sore spot. The more beautiful a woman was, the more concerned she was about her age. What they hated the most was being addressed as elder or older sister. Xia Fei's words nearly caused Qingyan to faint.
Unfortunately, women were very strange creatures. The more Xia Fei showed his disdain for her, the more curious she became.
Halleh finally noticed that something was amiss. He deliberately coughed twice and said, "Where did Old Qing go?"
Qingliu's expression changed. He sat up and said, "Tomorrow is the day of Mother's death. Father has gone to prepare and will only be back in the evening."
With tears in her eyes, Qingyan suddenly bit her lips and bowed to Xia Fei and Halleh. "I'll still need to rely on Uncle Halleh and Xia Fei … Brother Xia Fei's help in killing Uti. Qingyan thanks the two of you in advance."
Halleh hurriedly returned the greeting, telling Qingyan not to worry.
Xia Fei was secretly curious. Qingyan seemed to have changed into a different person, becoming extremely serious. Her eyes were brimming with tears, and she looked like she was gnashing her teeth. He really did not know what kind of inhumane things Uti had done to her.
'A woman's heart is the most vicious. Qingyan is the consort, the woman Uti dotes on the most, but she turns out like this once she leaves his side,' Xia Fei thought to himself. This made him even more resistant to this beautiful butterfly woman.
After exchanging a few words, Halleh and Xia Fei got up and left Qingyan's residence.
"What's wrong with Qingyan?" Xia Fei asked.
Halleh sighed. "Sigh, it's a long story. There are many beauties in the butterfly race, and every emperor of the Golden Tent will come to Planet Dancing Butterfly to choose a concubine after ascending to the throne. This has always been the rule.
"Many years ago, when Uti ascended to the throne, he also came here according to tradition to choose a beautiful woman. At the time, Qingyan was only twelve, and her mother, Mianwu, had just turned thirty. She was truly at the age where she still retained her charm, and her beauty was not inferior to those seventeen or eighteen-year-old beauties, and she had a very good temperament.
"Qingliu was the chieftain of the butterfly race, so Uti stayed in this residence. One night, Uti drank a few too many cups of wine and humiliated Qingyan's mother in front of everyone. Actually, this sort of thing isn't much in the insectoid race, and even if it were to spread, it wouldn't cause much of a fuss. Treating guests with wives and concubines is something we insectoids are used to, not to mention Uti. Many of our insectoids would be proud of this.
"Unfortunately, Mianwu was a stubborn woman, and she hanged herself that very night. Two years later, Qingyan turned fourteen and became even more beautiful. Uti chose her to become a concubine in the Golden Tent, and Qingliu's status skyrocketed.
"In the eyes of outsiders, this is the glory of the Qing family, but only the father and daughter understand the bitterness. They've endured all these years just to get rid of Uti, which is why Qingyan was so agitated just now."
Xia Fei nodded. Qingyan entered the palace at fourteen and climbed her way up, finally becoming the most favored person by Uti's side. This kind of forbearance and scheming was not to be underestimated.
That night, Qingliu hurriedly returned. After discussing the details of the operation with Xia Fei and Halsen, he left once more.
Qingliu was currently an extremely important figure in the insectoid race, and on the anniversary of his deceased wife's death, many important personages would come to pay their respects and try to get close to him, so his work was not easy.
Putting aside Qingyan and Qingliu's funeral, before the sun had even risen the day after tomorrow, Xia Fei and Halleh woke up and went to a room.
There were several dozen ornate metal boxes in the room, all of which were Qingyan's personal belongings. Xia Fei had to put down Vampire and stay in this small box when he entered the imperial capital.
In truth, Vampire had the Estamel cloaking system, so it was entirely possible for him to approach the imperial capital on his own, but if he did so, he would only be able to get close to the imperial capital and not Uti.
If he followed Qingyan's luggage back, he would be able to directly enter Uti's harem, and finding an opportunity to assassinate Uti in the harem was naturally much better than wandering around the periphery of the imperial capital. As for Halleh, he would be going with Qingliu's fleet. He was a top-class Sacred Warrior of the insectoid race, and though he did not hold any position in the hierarchy, it was not difficult for him to use his reputation to enter and leave the imperial capital.
In comparison, Xia Fei would have to take on a much greater risk, but considering that this might very well be his only chance to assassinate Uti, Xia Fei still agreed to Qingliu's request.
Opening a box, Xia Fei sat inside. It was filled with women's undergarments, and the fragrance wafting through the air was captivating.
Furball did not like this environment, frowning and refusing to enter. Only after Xia Fei took out a Purple Heart of Spirit in exchange did he finally take Furball into his arms.
Halleh handed Xia Fei a spatial stone. "Inside are the food, water, and a few other items you'll need. I'll have to trouble you on this journey."
Xia Fei nodded. "I've even been to King Yama's palace, let alone a box. Don't worry."
At this time, Qingyan had also arrived. She smiled at Xia Fei with her beautiful eyes before closing the box and locking it with a small lock.
Lightly tapping her lips with her finger, she then pressed it against the box, leaving behind an indistinct red mark. Smiling, Qingyan said, "Uncle Halleh, let's go back."
* Bang! *
The door closed, and the box fell silent.
This box was not even as long as a person, and it was rather cramped for Xia Fei to hide inside. Furball thoughtlessly fell asleep, but Xia Fei could not calm down.
"It truly is very risky. If Qingyan and her father betray you, you'll be in big trouble." Phantom sighed. He had always opposed Xia Fei using this method to infiltrate the imperial capital, but alas, Xia Fei had not listened to his advice.
Xia Fei replied, "I've done the calculations. The chances of them betraying me aren't high."
"But the risk you're taking is very high."
"There's no gain without risk. We probably wouldn't even know that the Golden Tent is protected by a divine artifact. In short, there are pros and cons to this deal. While we're taking the risk, we're also getting infinitely closer to our goal."
Phantom slapped his head. "You're still that stubborn bastard, determined to do whatever you want, but have you ever thought about it? Even if you succeed in killing him, how confident are you that you'll be able to escape unscathed?"
"I'm not confident," Xia Fei answered honestly.
Phantom shut his mouth and did not say another word. Xia Fei closed his eyes and rested, using his keen senses to detect any changes in his surroundings.
* Bang! *
The door to the room suddenly opened, and several dozen burly insectoid warriors walked in. Without saying a word, they picked up the boxes and carried them out.
Xia Fei circulated his Breath Control technique, completely sealing off his presence as he lay in the box, not saying a word.
Staggering out of the room, Xia Fei was then thrown into a small hovercar. The soldiers drove the vehicle to the local airport, escorted by tens of thousands of people. Along the way, there were also many butterfly compatriots sending off Consort Qingyan, and the streets were bustling with activity.
Qingyan's vehicle was an insectoid carrier, and aside from that, she was escorted by an entire fleet. After Xia Fei's ambush on the escort fleet, Uti had clearly increased his vigilance. It was just that he would never have imagined that the enemy he viewed as a great threat was currently returning to the imperial capital with his most beloved consort, ready to take his life at any moment.
"Hold it! Check these boxes one by one! "A rude and unreasonable insectoid officer stopped the vehicle at the entrance of the airport and said.
Xia Fei's heart tightened. His fingers moved back and forth on his spatial ring, ready to bring out Celestial Moon and October Flying Snow at any moment!
* Slap! *
Qingyan's guards were far more rude and unreasonable than the guards at the airport. The moment they got out of the vehicle, they immediately gave Xia Fei a tight slap.
"Open your dog eyes and take a good look! These are Consort Qingyan's personal belongings! If you lose even one, hmph! Watch out for your head! "
The officer in charge of airport security immediately lost his temper, covering his face as he retreated to the side. The hovercar carrying Xia Fei smoothly drove into the airport and began to be loaded.
The soldiers placed the boxes onto the conveyor belt, ready to send them to the cargo hold.
A maidservant of Qingyan ran over and found the box that Xia Fei was in among the dozens of boxes. She told the soldiers, "The consort has ordered that the things in this box will be used during the journey. She wants you to send them to her bedroom."
"Yes!" The soldiers hurriedly saluted, lifting the box with Xia Fei inside and boarding the ship from the other side.
Phantom chuckled. "Looks like that female insectoid vixen has no intention of letting you go."
