"Did you miss me, darling?"
Li Feng had just been wondering who the 'makima' opposite him was. But that tone and voice instantly revealed her identity to Li Feng… (There's an image in the paragraph comments, the Empress's disguise.)
Little Kitten and Celestine, who had followed Li Feng out, shrugged helplessly at this scene. It's a couple's private moment, let's not get involved; let's just quietly move the luggage.
And when the Sisters of Silence saw the true identity beneath the 'makima' disguise, they communicated with each other in sign language, asking, "Why did Her Majesty the Empress come out herself?"
'makima' walked with her hands behind her back, step by step, towards Li Feng… Li Feng looked at the 'makima' in front of him and smiled:
"I remember I bought you an outfit like this before, but you wouldn't wear it. Why are you wearing it now? And your skin tone and hair have changed."
For a moment, Li Feng was still in a daze. The 'makima' before him exuded an irresistible aura, her entire demeanor seemingly integrated with the Terra Imperial Palace, a calm yet overwhelming power radiating from her every movement.
Her hand tightened on the rosary beads around Li Feng's neck, the chain glowing faintly, as if hinting at her control over Li Feng.
"I can't help it now; after all, my identity can't be exposed. Besides, this isn't just a change of clothes and makeup. After coming to this world, I also regained my power, and I can change my form at any time…"
As she spoke, makima grabbed the Ecclesiarchy rosary beads around Li Feng's neck. A faint golden light flashed, the rosary beads didn't change, but two rings appeared on them… The ring holding the Ecclesiarchy pendant was now encircled by another ring… Suddenly, 'makima' grabbed the Ecclesiarchy pendant and pulled hard. The two rings separated instantly, and the rosary beads chain around Li Feng's neck began to tighten rapidly as the ring reached Li Feng's neck.
From the angle beside the two of them, the rosary beads around Li Feng's neck were tightened by 'makima' just like a 'dog leash'… 'makima' held the chain, pulled Li Feng's face towards her, then extended her hand: "My little boyfriend, isn't it time to say something now? Come, reach out…"
Li Feng looked at the situation, swallowed, and then slowly placed his hand on her hand… "Woof…"
This tiny sound was heard by all the superhuman Custodians and Living Saint Celestine around them. The few Custodians around Li Feng and 'makima' immediately turned their heads to look at the sky.
"The sky is truly beautiful!"
Sister Fides walked out from the Battle Sisters ranks, staring at Li Feng, her eyes filled with complex emotions. She clearly saw that Li Feng had just placed his hand on that red-haired woman's hand!
Who was that woman!!!
For a moment, the scene seemed subtle, with a hint of awkwardness and underlying tension in the air.
And 'makima' naturally noticed Sister Fides' resentful gaze behind Li Feng, then turned slightly, looking at Sister Fides with a smile.
"Be good, hold my hand tightly, just like you usually hold my hand…"
Hearing those 'smiling but not smiling' words, Li Feng also tightened his grip on 'makima's' hand, and then was directly pulled by makima's hand, not the chain, to Sister Fides's front.
Sister Fides watched this red-haired woman holding Li Feng's hand, her anger beginning to become uncontrollable. But in a woman's battlefield, if you get anxious, you lose!
The first to speak was… 'makima', holding Li Feng with her left hand, extended her right hand towards Sister Fides:
"Hello, I am Sanguinius, Li Feng's girlfriend. Thank you for taking care of my boyfriend during this time."
Hiss… Little Kitten, who was carrying Li Feng's luggage, had a very rich expression, but it was all hidden beneath his mask. But Trajann, who wasn't wearing a helmet, was different; the expression on his face was quite grim.
As women, Celestine, the Battle Sisters, and the Sisters of Silence immediately sensed it. This red-haired woman (the Empress) had made her move! And it was a decisive blow right from the start! She directly stated her identity! Killing the competition.
"Hello, Miss Sanguinius, I am High Sister Fides. This is the Imperial Palace; irrelevant personnel should not be here. Could you tell me… the reason for your presence here?"
Saying this, Sister Fides shook Sanguinius's outstretched hand, then squeezed her palm slightly… Sanguinius's expression remained unchanged, she just continued to smile and say:
"I am the Director of the Imperial Palace Office and the Grand Overseer. Is there a problem with me being in the Imperial Palace, Little Kitten?"
Little Kitten, who had originally planned to quietly slip away with the luggage, immediately froze, then instantly turned to kneel and answer, but Sanguinius's golden pupils were fixed on him, as if saying… if you dare to kneel, you're dead… As Custodians, humanity's strongest armed force, they could face enemies like a tide, individually facing hundreds or thousands of Chaos Astartes and Chaos Daemons… But now, Sanguinius's gaze just now was like domination, an invisible large hand directly pinching his spine… "Ah… Ah! That! Ah! Sister Fides, that, this… Ms. Sanguinius…"
Sanguinius: "Hmm? Ms.?"
"Ah! Miss Sanguinius! Is the Imperial Palace's Chief Grand Overseer, her position is even above us Custodians! That, report finished, I'm leaving now!"
Little Kitten finished speaking and ran off with the luggage on the spot. He ran all the way to Trajann, trembling. Trajann also patted Little Kitten's shoulder and sighed:
"Alas, you've worked hard… Don't be afraid, don't be afraid…"
Meanwhile, on the other side, Sister Fides was smiling and nodding… But in reality! Her mind was frantically complaining:
"Damn it! How is this woman so strong!"
Sister Fides initially only wanted to exert a slight force to demonstrate the power of a Sister of Battle, but as soon as she squeezed, she found Sanguinius's hand was like stone.
Could Sister Fides tolerate this? So she continuously applied more force, even though she had reached the limit of her own grip strength, a strength sufficient to crush human hand bones. But Sanguinius remained smiling, not even exerting any force.
Yvraine and Visarch, who had just emerged from the transport ship, watched the "two women"'s struggle, and couldn't help but gradually retreat, because they clearly felt the surrounding aura distorting.
When Visarch saw the red-haired woman, he immediately shielded Yvraine behind him and retreated: "There's a master! Everyone, retreat quickly!"
"What? Sister Fides, can my identity be confirmed now?" Sanguinius smiled and tilted her head slightly. Li Feng, watching this scene, even began to doubt if Sanguinius was truly makima.
Sister Fides showed a stiff smile and looked at Li Feng beside her: "Miss Sanguinius, not at all. During this time, Li Feng and I have become very good friends, and he has taken care of me a lot."
"Oh? Is that so? My dear? Is there such a thing?"
As soon as Sanguinius finished speaking, Li Feng's hand, held by Sanguinius, immediately emitted the sound of bones grinding…
