Chapter 464: Chapter 464: Concubine Zi

However, his spiritual sense had already spread outward and to his surprise...

...a powerful blocking formation was preventing his senses from penetrating the building.

Li Feng was shocked to discover such a powerful formation.

Even with his Rank 2 Formation Master talent, it would take considerable effort to crack through it without triggering any alarms.

Just then, he snapped out of his thoughts as he noticed the head maid’s attitude seemed to have changed.

After listening to Eunuch Peng’s full explanation, the head maid’s expression softened slightly.

She gave Li Feng a careful look again before nodding.

"I understand. Please wait here for a moment, honored envoy. I will go inside and inform Her Ladyship Concubine Zi."

The head maid turned gracefully and hurried into the hall, while the other maid remained to watch over them politely but vigilantly.

Li Feng stood calmly with his hands behind his back, maintaining a humble and respectful demeanor.

However, his heart was strangely... nervous?

’Could this be a guilty conscience...?’

He knew exactly what kind of shameless things he had done with Fen Ziyan... the intense sparring sessions, the endless teasing in all kinds of shameless positions, the way he had thoroughly conquered and marked her body and heart.

And now he was about to meet her mother face to face.

For the first time in a long while, a rare trace of nervousness flickered in Li Feng’s mind.

Just as these messy thoughts swirled in his head, the sound of hurried footsteps came back from inside.

The head maid soon returned, her steps graceful yet quick.

She bowed slightly toward Li Feng and Eunuch Peng before speaking in a respectful tone.

"Her Ladyship Concubine Zi has agreed to meet you. Please follow me inside."

Li Feng cupped his fists politely. "Thank you for your trouble."

Then the maid led them through the elegant corridors of the hall.

The interior was even more luxurious and refined than the outside, filled with the faint scent of medicinal herbs mixed with a delicate feminine fragrance.

Li Feng, walking behind Eunuch Peng, couldn’t help but subtly scan the surroundings.

He wondered whether all the concubine’s residences were protected by such powerful formations and arrays.

’Ah... maybe it’s to prevent malicious peeking. After all, this is a cultivation world, there are all kinds of spying methods.’

No one wanted their women spied on, especially the women belonging to the Emperor of the dynasty.

Li Feng nodded quietly and began taking note of these arrangements... just in case he ever had an imperial harem of his own.

And if it were him, he wouldn’t be satisfied with just formations.

He would also set up hidden guards or puppets.

Otherwise, who knew what kind of nefarious individuals might sneak in?

...After all, he was already the prime example.

The maid finally stopped in front of the main receiving hall and announced softly,

"Her Ladyship, the honored envoy has arrived."

Inside the hall, a graceful and mature woman sat at the main seat.

The moment Li Feng saw Concubine Zi, he was slightly surprised.

She was dressed in a simple yet elegant white robe, similar to patient attire, which made her look fragile and delicate.

Her lustrous dark hair was loosely tied, and her face appeared a little pale.

Even so, her graceful beauty and mature, voluptuous figure were still clearly visible... especially the way her full, large breasts gently rose and fell beneath the thin white fabric.

She truly looked like a sick but noble beauty resting in her chamber.

’She really looks similar to Fen Ziyan... That graceful bearing, those crimson eyes, and that mature voluptuous figure... as expected of mother and daughter. If Fen Ziyan grows up a few more years, she will definitely become just like her mother... or even more seductive.’

But then Li Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.

’And it looks like she really is quite sick. Her aura is unstable, and there’s a faint trace of something unnatural hidden beneath the surface.’

Suddenly, a soft, gentle voice spoke out, carrying a trace of weariness.

"So you are the Envoy... I am sorry for not welcoming you personally as I am not feeling too well. Please, have a seat."

Li Feng quickly composed himself and stepped forward, cupping his fists with perfect etiquette.

"This junior, Li Feng, greets Concubine Zi. There is no need for such courtesy. It is this junior who should apologize for visiting unannounced during your time of poor health."

He sat down on the prepared seat, his sharp eyes subtly observing the beautiful woman in front of him.

Concubine Zi looked at him quietly for a moment.

Despite her pale complexion and frail appearance, her crimson eyes still carried a dignified and gentle light.

"May I ask what exactly brings you here, Envoy Li?"

Li Feng maintained his warm and sincere expression as he replied calmly.

"I have come on the orders of the Regent Empress to investigate the unusual situation surrounding His Majesty’s illness. There are signs that it may be related to certain hidden activities within the inner palace. But at the same time..."

He paused slightly as he looked at the pale beauty before him.

"...I also have a personal matter I would like Concubine Zi’s help with."

Concubine Zi’s crimson eyes showed a hint of surprise.

She tilted her head slightly, the loose strands of her dark hair shifting elegantly as she asked softly,

"A personal matter? Please speak freely, Envoy Li. If it is within my power, I will naturally do my best to assist."

Li Feng gave a small, humble smile and continued in a respectful tone:

"Actually, this junior has a rather close relationship with Princess Fen Ziyan back in the sect. She is someone I greatly admire... but she is no longer in the sect. Someone told me that she has come back to the imperial capital to check on her mother’s condition."

Then Li Feng’s eyes turned serious.

"Concubine Zi... have you sent Princess Fen a letter asking her to return?"
