Chapter 304: Chapter 304: Today Is the Day of Your Hundred Herbs Hall’s Destruction

Just as Ye Feng finished speaking, a figure appeared in a flash, fiercely plunging the longsword in his hand into Wu Cheng’s heart.

Then, a cold voice rang out, "My lord said you weren’t going anywhere. That means you’re not going anywhere!"

The one who had struck was none other than the vice commander of the Qilin Battalion, Wolf Fang.

Wu Cheng struggled to raise his head, staring at Wolf Fang in terror. He opened his mouth as if to speak, but in the next moment, his pupils dilated. His head hung limp, and after a brief convulsion, he fell still.

Wolf Fang withdrew his longsword, lopped off Wu Cheng’s head, and held it high.

All the soldiers on site erupted in thunderous cheers.

Atop the city wall, a relieved smile spread across Long Ao’s face.

Long Xi’Er could no longer contain her excitement. She threw her arms around Ye Feng and, SMACK, planted a kiss right on his face.

But she quickly snapped out of it and hurriedly let go of Ye Feng. Her face was beet red as she said, "I’m sorry, I just got too excited."

With that, she covered her face with her hands, so mortified she wished the ground would swallow her whole.

Long Ao immediately burst into laughter.

Standing to the side, Wu Xiu shot everyone a venomous glare, then tried to slip away by hugging the wall.

But in the next moment, a calm voice sounded from behind her:

"Trying to run? You wish!"

As the voice faded, Ye Feng was already blocking Wu Xiu’s path.

Seeing the undisguised killing intent in Ye Feng’s eyes, Wu Xiu shrieked, "What do you think you’re doing? Don’t forget, I am the Empress! If you dare to touch me, that’s treason—a crime punishable by the extermination of your entire clan...!"

The moment she finished speaking, Ye Feng slapped her hard across the face.

With a sharp SMACK, Wu Xiu was knocked to the ground, half her face swelling up instantly.

Ye Feng looked down at her and spoke in a cold voice, "In my eyes, you’re nothing!"

With that, he started walking toward Wu Xiu, one step at a time.

"You..." Wu Xiu stared at Ye Feng, her body trembling with rage, but in the next moment, she shrieked:

"Ye Feng, if you so much as lay a finger on me today, all those women of yours will die with me!"

Ye Feng stopped in his tracks. At that moment, Long Xi’Er cried out from the side:

"Oh no! Ye Feng, Wu Xiu already sent people to the Princess’s Mansion to harm Sister Yufei and the others! I failed to protect them!"

As she spoke, Long Xi’Er’s eyes instantly reddened.

Ye Feng went to her and placed his hands on her shoulders, speaking gently, "Xi’Er, you’ve already done more than enough!"

He had barely finished speaking when Wu Xiu let out a sinister laugh from behind. "Believe me now, don’t you? Let me walk away, and those women might live. Otherwise, they will all die! Every last one of them!"

But just as Wu Xiu finished speaking, a group of people hurried over. Leading them was none other than the Helmsman of the Dragon King Pavilion’s Imperial Capital branch, Ouyang Nan.

Ouyang Nan came before Ye Feng and announced in a clear voice, "Reporting to the Young Pavilion Master, I have brought President Xiao and the others."

A moment later, Nangong Xue, Wang Luyao, and the others ran over. Nangong Xue and Wang Luyao threw themselves into Ye Feng’s arms, weeping with joy.

Behind them, Xiao Yufei, Su Youning, and Qin Nuannuan also looked at Ye Feng with happy smiles.

The princess went over, took the hands of Xiao Yufei and the others, and asked in astonishment, "Sisters, what’s going on?"

Ouyang Nan, standing nearby, explained with a smile, "The Young Pavilion Master had already instructed me to ensure everyone’s safety. After you brought them to the Princess’s Mansion, I had my men lie in ambush there to protect them in secret. The assassins Wu Xiu sent have all been eliminated."

Upon hearing this, a happy smile blossomed on Long Xi’Er’s face.

Nearby, Wu Xiu’s face was ashen. She knew she had lost all her leverage.

She couldn’t bear it any longer. She staggered before Long Ao and fell to her knees with a THUD, forcing a smile as she cried out:

"Your Majesty, I was wrong! I beg you, for the sake of the time we have spent as husband and wife, spare me just this once! I will serve you faithfully from now on, without any disloyalty!"

But the moment she finished speaking, a longsword pierced her through the back.

Wu Xiu let out a wretched scream and struggled to turn her head, only to see Ye Feng standing behind her, staring down at her coldly.

"I couldn’t be bothered to deal with you myself, but I never imagined a vicious, scheming bitch like you would dare to harm the people I care about. Today, even if His Majesty spares you, I will not. Go to hell!"

With that, he kicked out, sending Wu Xiu flying.

Wu Xiu crashed to the ground. Her body convulsed for a moment, then fell still.

Ye Feng turned to look at Long Ao and said calmly, "Your Majesty, I’ve killed this bitch. You don’t blame me, I hope?"

Long Ao gazed at Wu Xiu’s body on the ground. A flicker of pain crossed his eyes but was quickly replaced by an icy coldness. He looked up at Ye Feng and said through gritted teeth:

"That bitch nearly got me killed. She conspired with that old scoundrel Wu Cheng and almost got Meng Aiqing killed as well. Therefore, she deserves a thousand deaths.

If you hadn’t struck today, I would never have let her live!"

Then he burst out laughing. "Imperial Son-in-Law, you have lifted the siege upon my Great Xia today! This is a joyous occasion worth celebrating! Come, let’s go back and drink to our hearts’ content!"

Ye Feng looked at Long Ao and shook his head. "Your Majesty, there are still a few more people I want to kill."

Long Ao understood immediately. He turned to Cheng Lin, who was standing nearby, and said calmly,

"Bring me the Imperial Sword."

Cheng Lin hurried over and respectfully presented the Imperial Sword.

Long Ao turned and handed the Imperial Sword to Ye Feng. "Imperial Son-in-Law, take this sword. You may kill whomever you wish!"

"My thanks, Your Majesty!" Ye Feng accepted the Imperial Sword, turned, and left, with Ouyang Nan and his men following close behind.

...

「Hundred Herbs Hall」

Su Dingbang stood before Hundred Herbs Hall, watching the construction workers. He then turned to Su Feng beside him and said with a laugh, "Feng, my girl, we must expand Hundred Herbs Hall properly this time. We need to make it look impressive.

Now, not only do we have money, but we also have the princess’s backing! The rise of Hundred Herbs Hall is just around the corner! Haha..."

But he had barely finished speaking when a cold voice rang out from behind him. "Rising? In your dreams. Today is the day your Hundred Herbs Hall falls."

As the voice faded, a man strode forward, his hands clasped behind his back.

"Who the hell do you think you are, acting so arrogantly in front of my Hundred Herbs Hall..." Now that he had the princess’s support, Su Dingbang was feeling exceptionally brazen.

But he had barely finished speaking when a large hand reached out from behind him and slapped him hard across the face.

With a loud CRACK, Su Dingbang was sent spinning several times before falling flat on his ass. ℯℯ𝑙.

"Motherfucker..."

Su Dingbang turned to look at the person, ready to let loose a stream of curses, but when he got a clear look at the man’s face, all the color drained from his own.

The newcomer was none other than the Minister of Revenue, Sun Hao.

Sun Hao stared at Su Dingbang and said coldly, "Go on, keep cursing. Weren’t you enjoying yourself?"

Su Dingbang glared at Sun Hao. ’In his mind, he was already cursing eighteen generations of Sun Hao’s ancestors. ’Motherfucker... you’re really determined to pick a fight with me, aren’t you?’’

Su Dingbang scrambled up from the ground and looked at Sun Hao, puffing out his chest as he said defiantly, "Minister Sun, you heard the princess. From now on, Hundred Herbs Hall is under her protection..."
