Chapter 316: Silly Girl, You Wouldn’t Really Be Waiting for Me, Would You?
After arriving at the bloodline disk in the city, Jun Yunshang and Lin Fengmian once again dripped their blood into it, activating the array disk.
Now, as long as they entered Junlin City, they would have the qualifications to be ennobled as kings and compete for the throne in the Imperial Hall.
After activating the bloodline disk, several of Jun Fengya’s subordinates hurriedly arrived, kneeled down, and bowed, saying, “We are late, please forgive us, Prince Fengya.”
Jun Fengya didn’t mind their earlier spectator stance and calmly waved her hand. “Have you prepared a place for us to stay?”
The leader nodded quickly. “Yes, Your Highness, Young Master Ye, please follow me.”
The three of them followed the man to a small, secluded courtyard. Jun Fengya carefully inspected the place before setting up an array and settling in.
Lin Fengmian jumped off the Lion Roar Beast and calmly instructed, “Get some rest, we’ll leave the city in two days.”
Jun Fengya nodded, assuming that Lin Fengmian was deliberately giving her time to gather her old subordinates, which made her feel a bit pleased.
However, Jun Yunshang knew that he was waiting for Elder Huang, otherwise he wouldn’t have made such a grand entrance.
Of course, a significant reason was that Lin Fengmian’s injuries hadn’t fully healed yet, and he needed time to recover.
This was also why he had scared off those Unity Realm cultivators instead of engaging them directly.
The current situation was different; these Unity Realm cultivators could only provide limited combat experience.
But if he showed any signs of fatigue, countless vicious wolves would likely pounce on him and tear him apart.
After all, the rapid advancement and possibility of the treasures he possessed were too tempting.
Soon, under Jun Fengya’s instruction, the news of Lin Fengmian’s killing of Luo Zhiyi and entering Linyuan City spread far and wide.
This news caused a massive upheaval in the Junyan Empire, like an earthquake.
Many of Jun Fengya’s subordinates who had scattered and fled were now running back with their eyes wide open.
Jun Fengya naturally accepted all of them, reuniting with these people and also accepting many who had temporarily pledged their allegiance, thus strengthening his forces once again.
The night before they left, Lin Fengmian, who had recovered significantly, sat with Jun Yunshang in the pavilion of the courtyard.
Jun Yunshang’s face showed concern as Elder Huang still hadn’t arrived and there was no news from the transmission.
“Could something have happened to Elder Huang?”
Lin Fengmian comforted her, “They might have been delayed on the way. Don’t worry too much, we might run into them on the road.”
Jun Yunshang replied with an “oh” and sat quietly next to him.
Lin Fengmian leaned against a pillar in the pavilion, looking at the starry sky and sipping from a wine bottle.
Jun Yunshang occasionally glanced at him, quickly looking away when she caught him looking, then looking back after a while.
“Are you always sneaking peeks at me?” Lin Fengmian said, half laughing, half crying.
“I’m not, I’m looking at you openly!” Jun Yunshang said indignantly.
Lin Fengmian was somewhat amused and rubbed her head. “Don’t imitate me.”
Jun Yunshang stuck out her little tongue and sighed. “Young Master Ye, it feels like a dream, I’m really going to be ennobled as a king!”
“Let’s wait until you’re actually ennobled before we celebrate. We haven’t even entered Junlin yet,” Lin Fengmian said helplessly.
“With Young Master Ye here, it will definitely be fine!”
Jun Yunshang was full of confidence, which made Lin Fengmian chuckle.
He teased, “Little Yunshang, if I help you establish your own territory and become a king, how will you repay me?”
Jun Yunshang pouted, her beautiful brows furrowed as she thought seriously.
“I will let you be the guardian of my territory?”
“Then I’d have to serve you? Dream on!”
Lin Fengmian laughed, shaking her head. “You’re pretty sharp, aren’t you?”
“Then I give you my fief?”
“I’m too lazy to manage people, and it’s your fief. How can you give it to me?”
“At worst, you could marry me. We can be a nominal couple, and what’s mine will be yours.”
“The real purpose is revealed, Yunshang. I treated you as a friend, but you actually coveted my beauty?”
Lin Fengmian said with a pained expression, “You not only want me to work for you, but also want me as a person? To work for you day and night?”
“Stop it… I didn’t mean it like that.”
Jun Yunshang blushed and started hitting Lin Fengmian with her little fists, while Lin Fengmian exaggeratedly claimed that he was about to be killed.
The laughter of the two people playing around could be heard from far away, as if they were carefree and undisturbed by the world, which made people envy them.
Luo Xue watched this scene and sighed softly.
After a while, Jun Yunshang looked at Lin Fengmian with a distant look.
“Young Master Ye, maybe it’s because your actions are too extraordinary, or maybe I’m overthinking.”
“Sometimes, I feel like you’re not real. You are sitting right in front of me, yet you seem unreachable, as if you could disappear at any moment.”
Lin Fengmian found it amusing. “Of course we are unreachable. We are separated by space and time.”
It’s normal for her to feel that way. After all, he isn’t the real Ye Xuefeng. A cultivator as extraordinary as Ye Xuefeng doesn’t exist.
If there were a real Ye Xuefeng in this world, it would be chaos.
He joked, “Disappear? Maybe, who knows, maybe I’ll ascend to immortality in a few days?”
He was just joking, but Jun Yunshang took it seriously.
After all, with Lin Fengmian’s demonstrated talent, ascending to immortality isn’t a problem.
She said wistfully, “A figure like Young Master Ye, who seems to have descended from the heavens, naturally belongs to the heavenly realm… but…”
Her voice softened, and Lin Fengmian frowned. “But what?”
Jun Yunshang lowered her head and said sadly, “But I won’t be able to see you, Master?”
“Actually, I’m not from this world. To this place, I’m just a passerby,” Lin Fengmian said with a touch of melancholy.
“Will you come back to see me after you ascend? Will I ever see you again?” Jun Yunshang asked, her voice filled with reluctance.
Lin Fengmian patted her head and smiled lightly. “If you want to see me, then work hard and try to ascend as well.”
“But my talent isn’t good. What if I can’t ascend?” Jun Yunshang said with a disappointed look.
“Then live for a thousand years or more and wait for me to reincarnate and come back down to find you.”
Lin Fengmian said half-jokingly, “I might be a useless person by then, so you’ll have to take care of me.”
Jun Yunshang nodded seriously. “Okay, I’ll work hard!”
Lin Fengmian chuckled. He didn’t want this girl to really be fooled into ascending to immortality.
It would be amusing to see her reaction when she finds out that there’s no one there.
However, according to the predetermined path, this girl seems to have lived for a thousand years and become an ordinary king.
His gaze softened as he looked at Jun Yunshang.
Silly girl, you wouldn’t really wait for me, would you?
From a distance on the second floor of a pavilion, Jun Fengya watched the two who seemed like a divine couple, and a trace of envy flashed in her eyes.
If only this Ye Xuefeng could be mine!
If he were mine, even if this attempt fails, the throne will eventually be mine!
At this moment, she felt a strong urge to become his wife.
With his talent, he absolutely deserves me.
Such an outstanding man, where could one find another in this world?
Moreover, he seems to be uninterested in power. Wouldn’t he be the perfect partner?
He can concentrate on cultivation and intimidate others, while I hold the real power. Then, no one can manipulate me.
Thinking this, she looked at Lin Fengmian with fiery determination.
He is mine!
No matter what it takes, I will make this guy submit to me!
