Lord Li Feng raised an eyebrow at the "resourceful lady" before him and whispered to Celestine, "What she said sounds like, 'I'm the boss behind Gotham City.'"
Celestine smiled slightly, her eyes clearly agreeing with Lord Li Feng. She felt that the woman in front of her was a bit like "Penguin."
Malys evidently heard Lord Li Feng's murmur but paid it no mind. She clapped her hands gently, and her attendants immediately brought out a complete set of exquisite tea ware and pastries.
She elegantly sat back in her chair and said with a smile, "Please, make yourselves at home."
Grefax stared at the tea set and said coldly, "You'd better make sure these things are not problematic, or you won't be able to bear the consequences."
Malys offered an innocent smile: "Of course, these pastries are specially selected from 'your Empire's traditional recipes.' You can rest assured."
Lord Li Feng picked up a macaron; it was quite exquisite. He swallowed it whole, and the taste was excellent... just incredibly sweet.
Dark Eldar, needing sensory stimulation, tend to be extreme in their actions. This dessert... it was as if "the sugar seller had been beaten to death."
"Emmmm... the taste is not bad, thank you for your generous hospitality. But Lady Malys, you didn't invite us just for tea, did you?"
After Lord Li Feng finished speaking, he quickly picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip... he almost spat the tea onto Malys's face. What was this?! Does anyone put this much tea leaves in tea?! What was this?! It was so bitter!!!!!
Malys took a delicate sip of tea, clearly enjoying the aroma and the "aftertaste." Her gaze was profound:
"Of course, it's not just for tea. Lord Li Feng, I hear you are a 'legendary figure,' a 'friend' (emphatic) of The Emperor of Mankind, an Imperial Prince, and even the Warp is uneasy because of your existence. Such a powerful being coming to Commorragh, I naturally cannot ignore it."
Her words immediately tensed everyone present, especially Grefax and Celestine, who became noticeably more vigilant.
"So..." Malys put down her teacup, revealing a meaningful smile, "What exactly are you here for?"
Lord Li Feng casually placed the teacup back on the table, forced down the tea in his mouth, and tapped his temple with a finger, making a gesture that implied "this is a huge headache."
He cleared his throat and said in a deliberately relaxed tone:
"Lady Malys, I have no grand plans, nor am I here to challenge Commorragh's rules of the game. Our arrival here was completely accidental."
Lord Li Feng shrugged, stood up, and walked over to Magnus, who was sitting in a wheelchair looking at the sky:
"Alright, I'll keep it simple. The thing is, earlier on Cadia, we were fighting Chaos Forces. We were in the Eye of Terror, keeping the Chaos Forces at bay... and by the way! This one! Is The Emperor of Mankind's fifteenth son, Magnus the Red."
Malys's lips curled slightly, as if she had heard some interesting gossip:
"Ah, yes, I've heard of this Magnus's 'illustrious deeds.' He is indeed a... memorable being."
"Right, right, that's him," Lord Li Feng continued.
"He insisted on dragging me into the Warp. The reason, who knows? Maybe he wanted me to die with him."
At this point, Lord Li Feng spread his hands helplessly:
"As a result, the Warp is never reliable, and they don't like me either. Magnus dragged me in, but almost blew the entire Warp in half. I now suspect even the four chaos gods are going crazy."
Malys chuckled softly, her fan slowly spinning in her hand:
"The chaos and out-of-control nature of the Warp are indeed troublesome. But it sounds like your appearance, Lord Li Feng, seems to cause more chaos than the four chaos gods, doesn't it?"
Lord Li Feng smiled innocently: "Then we were teleported here by that Warp Storm, plunging headfirst into Commorragh. Honestly, this place is both cool and terrifying. Our goal now is actually very simple! To leave here, return to our familiar space, and continue to deal with unfinished battles."
After listening, Malys's eyes showed a hint of a smile that wasn't quite a smile:
"Leave Commorragh? Lord Li Feng, as you know, this city is not so easy to enter, nor is it so easy to leave. Especially for a guest as... 'unique' as you."
"Yes, I also find it quite troublesome," Lord Li Feng shrugged. "So, Lady Malys, I'd like to hear if you have any 'kind' suggestions? After all, you seem to be someone with a lot of say in this city."
Malys elegantly sipped her tea, her gaze as sharp as a viper, yet a gentle smile hung on her lips:
"Perhaps I can indeed offer you a little help. But as you know, this is Commorragh, and I am not a charity."
She put down her teacup and gently clapped her hands. Immediately, several attendants holding Aeldari spears slowly walked into the hall and spread a shimmering map before everyone.
