Chapter 323: Damn It, You’re the One I’m Hitting

Chapter 323: Chapter 323: Damn It, You’re the One I’m Hitting

Du Lei, who was standing behind them, nearly had his eyes pop out of their sockets. ’So this is what real power looks like!’

"Ahem, ahem..." Ye Feng coughed hard and said, "Eldest Martial Sister, these things should be based on mutual consent. I really can’t bring myself to force someone. You don’t need to get involved. I’ll handle things from here on out!"

Only then did Meng Jiaxin nod slightly. "Fine. Go ahead. Call me anytime if you run into trouble. Let’s see who dares to bully you!"

The moment she finished speaking, a terrifying killing intent instantly filled the air.

At that moment, Du Lei hurried over, bowed deeply, and said respectfully, "Du Lei, Chief Ambassador of the Great Xia Empire’s Embassy in Malaysia, pays his respects to the Meng War God!"

Seeing Du Lei bowing and scraping with a servile look on his face, Meng Jiaxin frowned slightly and said:

"Ambassador Du, remember this: you represent the Great Xia Empire. You have the Great Xia Empire backing you, so you’d better stand up straight for me!"

"Yes, ma’am!" Hearing Meng Jiaxin’s words, Du Lei’s old face flushed red as he quickly agreed. He straightened his back instantly, and in that moment, he felt like he had truly stood up.

Meng Jiaxin bid farewell to Ouyang Qiu and Ye Feng, then swiftly departed with her people. Everything quickly returned to calm.

Ye Feng turned his head and looked at the dazed Li Yao standing beside him. He took out a bank card and handed it to her.

"Little sister, your restaurant has been badly damaged. Here’s a million. Use it for repairs."

Snapping out of her daze, Li Yao quickly waved her hands. "Big brother, you’ve already done so much for me. How could I possibly take your money? I can’t!"

"Take it! I’m a little better off than you are," Ye Feng said with a smile, pushing the bank card toward Li Yao.

"Go on, little sister, take it. From now on, you can run your business here without worry. No one will dare to bother you again!"

Standing beside them, Du Lei puffed out his chest and shouted, "That’s right! With me around, if anyone dares to bully you in the future, just come find me at the embassy. From now on, this restaurant is under my protection!"

The corners of Ye Feng’s lips curled up slightly.

Li Yao looked at Ye Feng, her eyes turning red. "Big brother, thank you so much for everything. I, Li Yao, have no way to repay you. I’ll keep this restaurant open, so that whenever you come here, you’ll always be able to have a hot meal!"

Ye Feng smiled, nodded, and then left in style with Ouyang Qiu and the others.

Du Lei quickly ran out, opened the car door, and bowed as he saw Ye Feng and Ouyang Qiu into the vehicle. After closing the door, he ran over to start the car.

He glanced at Ye Feng in the rearview mirror and exclaimed excitedly:

"Damn, brother! I never expected you to have such a powerhouse backing you. What the hell do we have to be afraid of?!"

By now, the car had reached the main road. Du Lei asked:

"By the way, brother, where are you headed? I’ll give you a ride!"

"The royal palace," Ye Feng said calmly.

Du Lei’s hand jerked, nearly driving the car into a ditch. He slammed on the brakes, turned to look at Ye Feng, and said, his face pale:

"Look, brother, do you really think that Xia Yanran is some pushover you can just mess with whenever you want? Let me tell you, she’s not!

She might bow her head to the Meng War God, but she’ll never do it for us.

Since the matter is already over, can’t we just let it go?"

Ye Feng shook his head. "I’m not in the mood to bicker with her. Just go to the royal palace. I have important business to attend to."

He then added with a smile, "Besides, what do I have to fear? I’ve got a big shot like you backing me up!"

Du Lei stumbled, almost driving the car into the ditch again. He wailed internally, ’Are you trying to get me killed?’

But in the next moment, he recalled Meng Jiaxin’s words. His back instantly straightened, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"That’s right! What the hell is there to fear? We have the Great Xia Empire backing us! Let’s go! I’ll drive you to the royal palace right now. Whatever happens, I’ll take care of it!"

Ye Feng: "..."

Ouyang Qiu’s pretty face turned beet red as she struggled to hold back her laughter, her whole body trembling.

...

「Meanwhile」

「In the Royal Palace of Malaysia」

「The Grand Audience Hall」

The civil and military officials were arrayed on both sides!

Seated upon the Dragon Throne at the head of the hall was a peerless beauty.

The woman wore a phoenix coronet and imperial robes. Her face was identical to Xia Yanran’s, but her bearing was majestic and severe, carrying an air of looking down upon all creation.

Her Majesty the Queen of Malaysia, Xia Yanran’s twin sister, Xia Xingyu.

Xia Xingyu’s gaze swept over her court officials as she spoke calmly, "Li Hao of Yue Country has gathered a coalition army of twelve nations and massed his troops on our Malaysian border. This is an outrageous provocation. Which of my beloved ministers will relieve my worries and lead our forces against the enemy?"

The entire court, both civil and military officials, lowered their heads. Not a single person spoke.

"You all..." Seeing her ministers cowering, Xia Xingyu’s eyes filled with rage. She was about to erupt, but in the end, she suppressed her anger. Her heart, however, was already filled with disappointment.

Just then, Xia Yanran ran in. She looked at Xia Xingyu and said through gritted teeth:

"Sister, I was bullied! Someone spanked me in public!"

Xia Xingyu, who was already full of pent-up rage with nowhere to vent it, flew into a fury upon hearing this. She slammed her hand down on the Dragon Throne.

"Who was so audacious? Who dared to be so insolent?"

Xia Yanran was about to tell the truth, but in the next second, her eyes darted around and she changed her story at the last moment. "Sister, he’s just some riffraff from out of town! But he’s got a bit of strength!"

Xia Xingyu’s expression turned frigid. "Some random nobody thinks he can act presumptuously in my country? Does he really think Malaysia is a pushover? It is not!

"Today, I will make him pay a heavy price. I will let him know that Malaysia is not a country that just anyone can provoke!"

After speaking, she looked at the commander of the palace guard beside her and said in a cold voice, "Commander Lin, hear my order!"

The commander of the palace guard stepped forward and announced in a clear voice, "Your subject is here!"

"Immediately lead ten thousand of your men and bring me that bastard’s head," Xia Xingyu commanded coldly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Commander Lin Zhao acknowledged the order, turned, and strode away. He then led ten thousand elite soldiers out of the royal palace with Xia Yanran.

Xia Yanran gritted her teeth and muttered, "Bastard, just you wait!"

...

At the same time, a Maybach sedan quickly arrived in front of the royal palace. The car stopped in the parking lot, and everyone got out.

It was Ye Feng, Ouyang Qiu, and Du Lei.

Du Lei walked in front, striding purposefully toward the entrance of the royal palace.

The palace guards immediately raised their guns, aimed at the three of them, and said coldly:

"This is the royal palace, a restricted area. Do not act presumptuously. Leave immediately, or you will be killed without mercy!"

Du Lei puffed out his chest and announced domineeringly, "I am Du Lei, Chief Ambassador of the Great Xia Empire’s Embassy! We request an audience with Her Majesty the Queen...!"

Before he could finish, a woman charged forward with a furious roar and slapped Du Lei hard across the face. Then, glaring at him, she bellowed:

"I was looking for you! I can’t believe you dared to deliver yourself to my doorstep! I’ll slap you to death!"

It was none other than the arriving Xia Yanran and her entourage.

Du Lei clutched his face and shouted, "Commandery Princess, I am Du Lei, the Chief Ambassador of the Great Xia Empire’s Embassy...!"

Before he could finish, Xia Yanran slapped him across the face with the back of her hand. "Damn it, you’re exactly the one I’m here to beat!"

Du Lei: "..."
