LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 276: Whoever eats is a dog!
Chapter 276: Whoever eats is a dog!
Jun Fengya’s actions were clearly meant to humiliate Lin Fengmian, attempting to break his pride.
If it were Lin Fengmian himself, he would have picked it up and eaten it without a second thought.
But according to the persona he had created for Ye Xuefeng, he would never pick up the pill.
Picking it up would make his prestige drop completely. This woman’s heart is truly evil.
Jun Yunshang’s eyes brightened, a glimmer of resolve flashing in her gaze.
She had lost one, so she could pick up another for Young Master Ye. Whether or not he wanted it, that was another matter.
As for whether or not she was a princess, she didn’t care.
But just as she moved to step forward, a young master from a noble family behind Jun Fengya stepped on the pill, pressing the top-grade Spirit Fusion Pill into the mud.
He twisted his foot, a smug smile on his face as he said, “Things like this in our lord’s hands are generally fed to dogs.”
“Young Master Ye is the pride of heaven. Surely he wouldn’t compete with dogs for food, right?”
Jun Yunshang bit her lip, her eyes wide in anger as she glared at the man.
However, Lin Fengmian smiled lightly and said, “Since your master uses pills to feed dogs, of course I won’t compete with dogs for food.”
He gestured slowly toward their group, a playful smile on his face. “After all, with so many dogs here, there’s probably not enough to go around.”
The young master from the noble family was furious, his eyes wide with rage. “I didn’t mean it like that, I just-“
He was digging his own grave, stumbling over his words as he didn’t know what else to say.
“Are you saying that you do not get to eat the top-grade Spirit Fusion Pill? So you’re worse than a dog?” Lin Fengmian shook his head and said, “Yunshang, this is the first time I’ve seen someone insult themselves as a dog. Have you?”
Although she had been angry earlier, Jun Yunshang could no longer hold back and burst into laughter.
“I’ve never seen it either.”
The young master’s face turned bright red with embarrassment. Jun Fengya then spoke up, “All right, Chu Yang, step back!”
The young master called Chu Yang snorted and reluctantly backed away, his gaze still angrily fixed on Lin Fengmian.
Jun Yunshang looked at the top-grade Spirit Fusion Pill which was now covered in mud, still itching to pick it up, but was stopped by Lin Fengmian.
No, keep some dignity!
Jun Fengya noticed their actions, her lips curling into a slight smile. “Since Young Master Ye doesn’t want it, perhaps I could offer a gift when the prince attends the banquet tonight?”
“No need,” Lin Fengmian coldly refused, “Your Highness, there are too many dogs around you. I’m afraid that I might end up killing them.”
Jun Fengya’s attitude completely shifted as she said with a smile, “My subordinates are ignorant. Fengya apologizes to you, Young Master.”
She bowed gracefully and continued, “This banquet will be attended by me alone, without any interruptions to your enjoyment. You can rest assured.”
“I haven’t seen Yunshang for a long time. Please, young master, give us a chance to catch up.”
Lin Fengmian glanced at her in surprise. This Fengya woman had some skills.
She could bend and stretch, and her face changing ability was quick. It seemed like she might be a bit tricky.
But he didn’t want to strike someone who was offering him a smile. He also wanted to see what she was really after.
After all, she had the top-grade Spirit Fusion Pill, and that was something he had to have.
“Alright, since Your Highness invites me with such sincerity, I’ll be at the banquet tonight.”
Jun Fengya smiled sweetly and said, “I look forward to your presence, Young Master.”
Although she had used Jun Yunshang as a stepping stone, from beginning to end, her focus had only been on Lin Fengmian’s choice, hardly paying any attention to Jun Yunshang.
This further confirmed to Lin Fengmian that they were just superficial sisters!
He walked away with big steps, and Jun Yunshang quickly bowed to Jun Fengya before jogging off to catch up with Lin Fengmian.
After Lin Fengmian left, some of Jun Fengya’s followers behind her said indignantly, “Your Highness, this kid is too arrogant.”
Zhong Ha also chimed in, “Yes, this child is truly ungrateful. Your Highness invited him out of kindness, and he actually ignored it.”
Jun Fengya replied indifferently, “A talented genius with a bit of arrogance is normal. I’m confident that I can win him over.”
Chu Yang said with some displeasure, “Fengya, are you really going to meet with that boy alone? He’s extremely arrogant. I’m worried that he might be a danger to you.”
Chu Yang was the young master of the Chu family of the Junyan Empire. Although he helped Jun Fengya, it was mostly because of her position.
Jun Fengya had an advantage, but also a disadvantage compared to others.
She was a woman, and if he succeeded in winning her heart and help her ascend to the throne, he would gain a huge advantage.
That’s why many young masters from noble families had gathered around her, contributing considerable power to her side.
“What is there to fear? Can’t I beat him?” Jun Fengya scoffed.
She was different from the weak Jun Yunshang. She had been extraordinarily gifted from a young age and was now at the mid-stage of the Unity Realm.
Although she admired Lin Fengmian, she didn’t truly believe in his battle record. No matter how strong he was, could he still be stronger than her?
“What if he refuses to submit?” Chu Yang asked.
Jun Fengya chuckled softly, “How could that be? What Yunshang can offer him, I can offer him. What Yunshang can’t give him, I can!”
“He’s a smart person. He knows who to ally with!”
She hesitated slightly and asked, “Have you taken care of the things I asked you to do?”
Another young master eagerly replied, “Everything has been arranged in the city. Don’t worry, Fengya.”
Jun Fengya nodded with satisfaction, stroking the lion’s roar beast beside her. “Little Red, this pill on the ground is for you to eat, okay?”
The Lion’s Roar Beast showed a flash of dissatisfaction in its eyes, then stomped on the top-grade Spirit Fusion Pill, crushing it and bared its teeth at Chu Yang.
I’m not eating that! Whoever eats it is a dog!
It held its head high. I am a noble lion roaring beast!
Chu Yang did not expect an animal to be so arrogant towards him. He was so angry that he nearly stormed off.
On the other side, after Lin Fengmian and Jun Yunshang entered the city, they went straight to the so-called Bloodline Wheel.
It was a checkpoint set up by the Heaven-Soaring Sword Saint that had to be activated with royal blood to prevent anyone from trying to cheat.
As they walked, many people cast curious glances at them and whispered to each other.
“This is the legendary genius Ye Xuefeng?”
“Damn, I thought he’d have three heads and six arms, a remarkable appearance, and a divine aura. But he looks pretty ordinary.”
“He’s a human, not a monster. How could he have three heads and six arms?”
“Is that the beauty next to him? Is that the first beauty of the Junyan Empire, Princess Yunshang?”
“She really is a peerless beauty, but why is she wearing a veil?”
…
Jun Yunshang was uncomfortable with the countless eyes on them and tried to hide behind Lin Fengmian as much as possible.
Lin Fengmian, on the other hand, remained calm and indifferent, ignoring the stares and gossip.
While Jun Yunshang hid behind him, she suddenly noticed that among the voices discussing them, there was one female voice that stood out in a discordant way.
“Young Master Xuefeng, Young Master Xuefeng!”
“Look, Young Master Xuefeng looked at me! He looked at me!”
“I don’t even know what my Young Master Xuefeng looks like. Just half of his face has already made me fall in love with him.”
“Tch, Young Master Xuefeng is mine!”
“Ah, dying at his hands must feel so special.”
…
Jun Yunshang couldn’t help but laugh helplessly. What’s the matter with these women?
Lin Fengmian’s lips also twitched. He had never come across such bizarre requests before.
