Chapter 409: Kid, I Found You!
Half an hour later, Chen Qingyan sheathed her sword and glared at Liu Mei. “I’m done fighting!”
She had tried to bypass Liu Mei multiple times, but the latter had stubbornly blocked her at every turn.
She gave up.
Liu Mei’s face was pale, her fingers trembling slightly as they pressed against the zither strings. She smiled faintly, a hint of loneliness in her expression.
“I lost.”
Although Chen Qingyan was the one who had called for a truce, Liu Mei was well aware of the gap between them.
She was indeed no match for Chen Qingyan. Sword cultivators were not only unparalleled in their attacks, they also possessed an extremely robust aura.
Chen Qingyan looked at the dejected Liu Mei and did not know what to say.
Although she had once looked down on Liu Mei, after going through so much together, she had long since come to regard her as a sister.
“Is that playboy, who falls in love with every woman he sees, really worth it?”
Liu Mei’s gaze drifted for a moment before she smiled softly. “I used to think it wasn’t worth it, but now I do.”
“Even if he might not have loved me and was only infatuated with my body, he made me feel cherished and protected.”
Chen Qingyan remained silent for a while before she sighed. “Liu Mei, do you really believe in his nonsense?”
“Don’t be foolish. He treats every woman the same. This guy is like a heater, radiating warmth to everyone.”
Liu Mei nodded. “I know. That’s why I envy you – because he truly likes you.”
Chen Qingyan’s expression froze, and then she flicked her sleeve angrily. “You’re hopeless!”
Liu Mei giggled, but the hint of sorrow in her eyes was unmistakable.
“Junior sister, let’s wait for two more days and then return to the sect to report.”
Chen Qingyan sighed helplessly. “Whatever you say.”
Meanwhile, Lin Fengmian had been running as fast as he could, using the Thousand Illusions Technique to change his appearance along the way.
As dawn broke, he found himself standing before the gates of Chongmeng City, feeling a sense of disorientation.
The ancient city had expanded significantly, its walls clearly rebuilt and much taller than they had been a thousand years ago.
The only thing that remained unchanged was the massive stone plaque above the city gate, though the passage of time had left it weathered and cracked.
Seeing this familiar yet unfamiliar city, Lin Fengmian felt the weight of time’s passage and the ruthlessness of its flow. He was overwhelmed with emotions, and his thoughts were difficult to articulate.
It felt like just a dozen days ago that he had stood at this very gate with Jun Yunshang in his arms, confronting Jun Fengya. However, a thousand years had passed.
The shy Jun Yunshang had become Empress Fengyao, ruling the world with authority, while the domineering Jun Fengya had become the King of Mediocrity, detached from worldly affairs.
As for Luo Xue, who had accompanied him on his journey to protect Jun Yunshang, she was now trapped in the Heavenly Abyss, her fate unknown.
Lin Fengmian collected his thoughts and entered the city, heading for the airship dock.
Chongmeng City had a teleportation array that could transport people directly to Junlin City in one go.
Unfortunately, the exorbitant amount of Spirit Stones required for teleportation was far beyond what Lin Fengmian could afford at the moment.
He couldn’t just go around shouting that he was the Empress’s former lover and demand to be teleported to the capital.
He’d likely be killed on the spot for blaspheming the Empress before he even got to see Jun Yunshang.
With his pockets empty, Lin Fengmian had no choice but to settle for taking an airship.
Fortunately, he wasn’t completely out of luck. An airship bound for Junlin City was set to depart in half an hour, so he didn’t have to wait long.
Lin Fengmian took a deep breath and used the time to quickly buy some necessities and items for disguise and camouflage.
Although the Thousand Illusions Technique was useful, it was ineffective against cultivators two levels higher than him.
Half an hour later, Lin Fengmian, wearing a black bamboo hat, boarded the airship using his jade identity token.
As the airship departed from Chongmeng City, Lin Fengmian’s anxious heart finally settled, and he let out a long sigh of relief.
The airship glided silently through the sky, and Lin Fengmian once again found himself in a cramped and narrow cabin.
The journey to Junlin City would take three days, and he had no choice but to wait patiently.
As Lin Fengmian listened to the lively conversations of the passengers around him, he couldn’t help but recall the time he had traveled on an airship with Xia Yunxi.
However, this time, there was no Xia Yunxi to engage in their playful “import-export trade”, allowing him to deliver his essence directly.
Now that he had safely left, Lin Fengmian sent a message to Liu Mei via a communication jade slip to avoid her misunderstanding that he had abandoned her.
He informed her about the Soul Pursuit Mark, but didn’t reveal where he was going, only asking her to wait for his return.
After sending the message, Lin Fengmian sighed deeply. The comfort of a woman’s embrace is truly the grave of a hero!
His ties with the Joyful Union Sect were growing stronger and stronger.
But which hero could resist a charming and devoted demoness?
Lin Fengmian was an ordinary man, becoming a saint only when it was time to pull up his pants.
He couldn’t resist!
Meanwhile, Liu Mei and Chen Qingyan had settled into a house in the back mountains.
During that time, some villagers, noticing Lin Fengmian’s absence, had tried to come up the mountain to “pick flowers”. Unfortunately, they ended up as fertilizer for the flowers, courtesy of Liu Mei, who was in a bad mood.
Heartbroken, Liu Mei suddenly received Lin Fengmian’s message and was overjoyed.
However, after reading the contents, her face turned pale and she rushed to find Chen Qingyan.
“Junior sister Qingyan, something’s wrong!”
Chen Qingyan, who had been somewhat angry with her and Lin Fengmian, was stunned and filled with regret and remorse after reading the message.
She muttered, “I misjudged him. Senior Sister, what should we do now?”
Liu Mei forced herself to stay calm and thought for a moment. “Let’s go to Chongmeng City and find out where he went. On the way, we’ll send messages to the Sect Leader and Master.”
The situation was beyond their ability to handle alone, so they had no choice but to seek help from the sect.
Chen Qingyan nodded. “Alright, you contact Master Zhao and I’ll contact the Sect Leader. I hope we won’t be too late.”
As she was about to leave, Liu Mei quickly grabbed her. “Let’s disguise ourselves first. We don’t want to fall into their hands.”
Chen Qingyan looked at Liu Mei, who remained calm despite the crisis, and couldn’t help but admire her composure.
After quickly disguising themselves, the two of them flew to Chongmeng City, sending messages along the way.
A day passed, and the Soul Pursuit Mark on Lin Fengmian’s chest grew hotter, intensifying his sense of unease.
At noon, everyone on the airship felt a chilling aura enveloping them, sending shivers down their spines.
One by one, the passengers gathered on the deck to warm themselves, looked around, and discussed the strange phenomenon.
“What’s going on? Why is it so cold?”
“I don’t know. It’s like a ghost has appeared!”
“Look over there! What’s that?”
In the distance, a dark cloud was rapidly approaching, accompanied by eerie ghostly cries.
Lin Fengmian looked at the rapidly approaching dark cloud and helplessly shook his head, sighing.
Despite boarding the airship, Cao Zhengyu had still caught up with him.
Even if he hadn’t been intimate with Liu Mei, the speed of the airship wouldn’t have been enough to escape.
Besides, there might not have been an airship heading to Junlin City yesterday.
At this moment, the airship’s defensive formations activated, and the guards on board stood ready with their weapons.
The dark cloud quickly enveloped the airship, forcing it to come to a halt.
A powerful spiritual sense swept through the ship, finally focusing on Lin Fengmian.
“Kid, I’ve found you!”
