Chapter 288: Bullying the Weak
Lin Fengmian paid no attention to Jun Fengya’s protests. With a few swift moves, he removed the soft armor from her, revealing the sheer gown she was wearing underneath.
When he began searching her body, Jun Fengya almost cried out in frustration.
“Scoundrel! Pervert! You’re touching me everywhere!”
Lin Fengmian said nothing, continuing to carefully search her waist and belt, pulling out various pills.
When his hand moved upward, Jun Fengya’s face turned pale, and in her desperation, she finally relented.
“I’ll give it to you, I’ll give it to you, just stop!”
Lin Fengmian released her, his tone indifferent. “Don’t try any tricks or I won’t be so kind.”
Feeling utterly defeated, Jun Fengya sat on the ground and reluctantly removed three storage rings from her fingers before throwing them at Lin Fengmian.
She then dug out a handful of various pills from her belt and tossed them at him, begrudgingly saying, “That’s all!”
“That’s all?” Lin Fengmian teased. “I’ll give you one more chance. If you don’t hand over the rest, I’ll have to do it myself.”
Jun Fengya glared at him and cursed, “Bandit! Pervert!”
She reached into her chest and pulled out a small stack of talismans, throwing them at Lin Fengmian with a cold expression on her face. “Really, that’s all.”
Lin Fengmian looked at Jun Yunshang and nodded. “Go ahead, check again to see if there’s more.”
Jun Yunshang hesitated, and Lin Fengmian impatiently ordered, “If you don’t go, I will.”
Jun Yunshang quickly ran over and awkwardly reached into Jun Fengya’s cleavage to search.
She pulled back her hand in surprise, and Lin Fengmian frowned. “What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing, just… it seems like my sister is wearing a chest binding,” Jun Yunshang said, her face flushed with embarrassment.
“Remove it so she doesn’t hide anything,” Lin Fengmian ordered, his expression unchanged.
No wonder he had thought her size fluctuated – it wasn’t a padding issue; she was bound.
Jun Yunshang nodded softly and muttered, “Sorry, sister.”
“Little sister, are you really helping him bully me like this?” Jun Fengya said, her anger flaring up.
“Sorry, sister, but this is a special situation,” Jun Yunshang replied seriously, her face full of earnestness.
Jun Fengya was seething with anger, but she couldn’t argue. She’d learned well – just don’t let it happen again.
Inevitably, the chest binder was removed, revealing a more curvaceous figure.
Lin Fengmian looked over at her, a smile creeping onto his face. “You’ve got quite the assets.”
Although it seemed like her sister might be more appealing in comparison.
“Pervert! Bastard! Weirdo!” Jun Fengya snapped, humiliated and angry.
Lin Fengmian laughed inwardly. Did this count as bullying the weak?
Guessing that the others were closing in, he wasted no more time. He swiftly tied up Jun Fengya with the rope, using the special binding technique he had learned from the Joyful Union Sect.
He grabbed the rope and lifted up the struggling Jun Fengya, holding her like a prize.
“I can walk by myself!”
“The spoils are not for negotiation,” Lin Fengmian said dismissively.
He kicked the Lion Roar Beast and snarled, “If you are not dead, get up and lead the way, or I will kill you!”
The Lion Roar Beast, which had some intelligence, had been scared to death by their recent encounter. It nodded eagerly and tried to stand up.
Lin Fengmian mounted the beast and rode off quickly, determined to leave the area.
At first, his intention was simply to kill the beast, but circumstances had changed.
Lin Fengmian didn’t care about Jun Fengya’s protests. Since she was so concerned, he decided to make use of the situation.
She could fight, fly, and even serve as a mount, not to mention a potential source of emergency food.
Not bad. Quite useful, actually.
The Lion Roar Beast quickly carried the group away, with Jun Fengya, now the captive of Lin Fengmian, being dragged along in a sorry state.
“Young Master Ye, there’s no need for things to escalate like this. We can discuss cooperation,” Jun Fengya suggested, trying to maintain some dignity despite the circumstances.
Lin Fengmian couldn’t help but admire her calmness. Despite the situation, she retained her composure – such poise even for a princess.
However, Lin Fengmian chose not to engage with her, opting instead to continue applying pressure. His goal was clear: to force Jun Fengya to unlock the divine consciousness of the storage rings and hand over their contents.
Although killing her would allow him to directly access the Storage Rings, it would activate the bloodline mark.
If the assassination failed, the Heaven-Soaring Sword Saint could track the mark and trace it back to Luo Xue, causing more trouble.
He wasn’t worried about killing the Heaven-Soaring Sword Saint, after all, the bloodline mark would collapse once the Sword Saint was dead. Plus, it wasn’t hard to erase such marks from those of the same rank.
However, Jun Fengya didn’t give up. She continued to try to convince him.
“Young Master Ye, we can work together. We both have something to gain.”
“I can give you top-tier Void Breaking Pills.”
“Ye Xuefeng, are you listening to me?”
Lin Fengmian, now growing tired of her constant chattering, finally snapped coldly, “Shut up or I’ll stuff a dirty sock in your mouth.”
Jun Fengya immediately fell silent, glaring at him with burning eyes. If looks could kill, Lin Fengmian would have died countless times.
As they continued their journey, Lin Fengmian wiped away all the traces they’d left and deliberately changed their course.
Meanwhile, Jun Fengya’s subordinates, along with a group of noble young men, had arrived at the place where the two had fought. When they saw the blood stains in the deep pit and the tracks left behind, their faces turned pale.
“This is bad, Her Highness is in trouble.”
“There’s still the Lion Roar Beast. How could Her Highness be in danger?”
“What should we do now? We don’t even know where they went.”
The group was thrown into chaos, each blaming the Lion Roar Beast for failing to protect its master.
Chu Yang cursed loudly, “You worthless fools, how could you let Fengya be in danger?”
Du Xingan shot him an angry look. “Stop yelling. We have to find Fengya, this guy is no easy opponent.”
The mention of the man who had killed the Fourteenth Prince of the Junyan Empire sent a shiver down their spines. If the Ninth Princess had also fallen at his hands, they could only imagine the grim fate that awaited them.
In a frenzy, they spread out in search of Lin Fengmian and his group, heading toward the direction of Linyuan City.
As night fell, Lin Fengmian’s divine consciousness discovered a damp, abandoned cave hidden behind a waterfall.
It was clear that the cave had not been used for some time, as the formations were deactivated and the place was damp, but it was secluded and well hidden.
Lin Fengmian flew in with the two women and used fire talismans to dry out the moisture in the cave. He then hung a water-avoiding bead to prevent further moisture.
Looking around at the few stone rooms inside, he nodded in approval. “We’ll rest here tonight.”
Jun Yunshang nodded and nimbly jumped off the lion roar beast.
She had been living in the open air with him for a long time and was accustomed to it, so she skillfully cleaned up the cave.
When she spotted the bathing pool, Jun Yunshang beamed with delight.
She could endure the hardships of traveling, but she could never stand being dirty.
Lin Fengmian untied the ropes around Jun Fengya and warned her, “Don’t even think about running away”.
He pointed at the Lion Roar Beast. “If you try to escape, I’ll cook it.”
“Ninth Princess, you don’t want to see your Lion Roar Beast turned into stew, do you?”
