Chapter 283: I Want It All!
After a long silence, Lin Fengmian looked at the silent Jun Yunshang and leaned forward, asking, “Are you angry?”
Jun Yunshang shook her head and said softly, “No, Young Master Ye. I just feel like I’ve let you down.”
“It’s my fault for losing the Spirit Fusion Pill. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have found yourself in this awkward situation.”
“Now we might not even be able to leave the city, let alone get me to Junlin before the end of the month.”
“Who knows until we try?”
Lin Fengmian chuckled and said, “Besides, I’ve already taken your top-grade Spirit Fusion Pill. Of course, according to our agreement, I have to escort you to Junlin.”
“But that Spirit Fusion Pill has already been destroyed,” Jun Yunshang muttered in a daze.
“Once it was in my hands, it became my responsibility. It wasn’t your fault that I couldn’t keep it safe. Of course, I will keep my promise,” Lin Fengmian said seriously.
“But the blood pact you made with Elder Huang required you to take the pill. You didn’t take it, so you don’t need to go through all this,” Jun Yunshang said confusedly.
Lin Fengmian calmly replied, “The pact may let me go, but I cannot let myself go. My thoughts… are not at peace.”
Jun Yunshang hummed softly, her eyes misting over. Lin Fengmian’s words had moved her deeply.
She poured herself a cup of wine, her gaze soft and slightly emotional as she looked at Lin Fengmian.
“Young master, why are you so kind to me?”
“Can I say it’s because I’m captivated by your beauty?”
Lin Fengmian reached out his hand to cover her wine cup and smiled. “Enough, stop drinking. Aren’t you afraid that I might take advantage of you while you’re drunk?”
Jun Yunshang rolled her eyes at him. “Not afraid. You’re not that kind of person.”
No, I am that kind of person!
Lin Fengmian secretly grumbled to himself, A thousand years from now, just try saying that again in front of me.
“I don’t want to deal with a drunk…”
But before he could finish, Jun Yunshang collapsed onto the table with a loud thud. The force of it made even Lin Fengmian wince in sympathy.
“Young Master Ye… Young Master Ye…”
Jun Yunshang’s beautiful eyes were closed, her cheeks were flushed, and her hair was in disarray. Yet unlike before, she exuded a seductive charm.
This combination of purity and allure would undoubtedly ignite any man’s desire, especially when the beauty was murmuring his name in her sleep.
Exasperated, Lin Fengmian rubbed his forehead. With a sigh, he muttered, “Luo Xue, what now?”
“I’ll handle it. You pervert, step aside!”
Luo Xue immediately took control, stopping any possible inappropriate actions and leaving Lin Fengmian both embarrassed and repentant.
Not having a chicken is bad enough, and now someone’s watching me!
Luo Xue carefully took over and gently lifted Jun Yunshang, avoiding touching any sensitive areas.
Knowing that their vision was shared, Luo Xue didn’t even allow his gaze to linger unnecessarily, behaving with a level of gentlemanly restraint that was almost infuriatingly extreme.
Jun Yunshang opened her eyes groggily. Seeing that pair of cold, indifferent eyes, she didn’t resist any further.
Luo Xue cautiously carried the drunken Jun Yunshang to her bed, tucked her in, and cast a spell to ease her drunken state. Only then did she return to the living room and sit down.
Lin Fengmian felt helpless. This level of caution towards me…
This gentlemanly demeanor, this absurd self-control – someone who didn’t know better might think I was… incapable.
Luo Xue broke the silence. “Lin Fengmian, what is your plan?”
“Leave the city by noon tomorrow,” Lin Fengmian replied succinctly.
“How can we leave the city? With your current strength, trying to leave would be like seeking death,” Luo Xue said, not understanding.
“Didn’t I get a low-grade Spirit Fusion Pill? What if Genius Ye Xuefeng suddenly breaks through and kills his way out of Chongmeng City? How does that sound?” Lin Fengmian chuckled.
Luo Xuening said seriously, “Do you know that taking this low-grade Spirit Fusion Pill will greatly weaken your strength?”
“Even if you take a top-grade Void Breaking Pill later, you won’t be able to make up for this gap.”
Lin Fengmian grinned. “Top-grade Void Breaking Pill and top-grade Spirit Fusion Pill, I want them both!”
“You want to join Jun Fengya and scam Jun Yunshang’s pills, don’t you?” Luo Xue said in shock.
“Pah, pah, pah, do I look like that kind of person?” Lin Fengmian said helplessly.
“You don’t look like it, you are!” Luo Xue said with a sly smile.
“Stop wasting time, just say it!”
Lin Fengmian honestly replied, “A backdoor move – call the gods! There’s no way I can take on that many Unity Realm cultivators by myself.”
“But why do I have to fight alone? Aren’t you here to help me? You can help me deal with them.”
Luo Xue was confused. “But your strength has mysteriously increased, and that’s a big problem. It could easily reveal my presence.”
It’s one thing to explain a breakthrough from one realm to another, but to cross borders and fight ten or more? That’s too suspicious.
Lin Fengmian smiled faintly. “That’s why this low-grade Spirit Fusion Pill is so important. You should be able to summon a fake heavenly thunder, right?”
Luo Xue’s eyes brightened with realization. “You want to fake a breakthrough to the Unity Realm, and then sweep them all away?”
If it were anyone else, it would be impossible, but Luo Xue has thunder spiritual roots, and the power of tribulation is stored within her body.
With her strength, she could easily release her tribulation to create a convincing fake heavenly thunder.
Lin Fengmian nodded and laughed. “Once we catch Jun Fengya, we can torture her and get that top-grade Spirit Fusion Pill from her.”
“Once we have the top-grade Spirit Fusion Pill, we’ll find a secluded place and quietly cross into the Tribulation Crossing Realm. It will be perfect.”
Luo Xue paused for a moment before muttering, “Your plan… might actually work.”
If the enemy thinks that Lin Fengmian took a low-grade Spirit Fusion Pill and his strength is weak, they’ll be in for a rude awakening.
This is also why Lin Fengmian was so pleased when Zuo Yueting sent the low-grade Spirit Fusion Pill – it completed the most important part of his plan. Otherwise, he would have had to pretend to take a non-existent pill, which would have created a huge hole in his scheme.
“Why didn’t I think of that?”
Luo Xue pouted. “Damn it, it’s all your fault. Being around you makes me stupid.”
Lin Fengmian retorted, “It’s not my fault, you’re just too lazy to think!”
“Hmph, it’s your fault!” Luo Xue stubbornly declared.
Lin Fengmian had no comeback, and after a pause, he asked, “Luo Xue, can I take the low-grade Spirit Fusion Pill but not refine it?”
“Why not refine it? What a waste.”
Luo Xue chuckled. “Just refine it and treat it as a supplement. You just can’t use it to break through.”
Lin Fengmian nodded in understanding.
As long as he didn’t use his cultivation method to break through, the pill would simply act as a supplement.
The next morning, Jun Yunshang, who had been sleeping soundly, was awakened by an enticing scent.
She groggily opened her eyes and saw Lin Fengmian sitting not far away, eating some porridge she didn’t recognize.
“Young Master Ye?”
“Lazy girl, are you awake?”
Lin Fengmian glanced at her and pointed to the corner of her mouth. “Wipe off the drool.”
Jun Yunshang blinked in confusion, then quickly wiped off the non-existent drool and scowled. “Damn, you tricked me!”
Lin Fengmian laughed heartily. “Hurry up and wash up for breakfast. I don’t like the smell of alcohol on you.”
He had ordered breakfast from Shanhai Residence early in the morning, and this girl had woken up to the smell.
Jun Yunshang’s cheeks flushed as she quickly got up and went to wash herself.
Looking at her intact clothes, she remembered the calm eyes she had seen in her dazed state yesterday, and a small smile tugged at her lips.
Young Master Ye was indeed a gentleman.
But does that mean that she has no appeal to him?
