Chapter 229: Is There Really a Fallen Immortal in This World?
In the evening, Lin Fengmian stood by a small lake with his back to the water, gazing at the distant sky.
Although he had confirmed several times that the lake only contained some unintelligent small fish and no monsters or snakes, Jun Yunshang, having learned from past experiences, had set up a special array before she felt safe enough to bathe.
Listening to the splashing water behind him, Lin Fengmian could easily imagine the scene of the beauty bathing.
“Oh, I regret it. If I had a female identity, I might be bathing with her right now.”
Just thinking about the last time he bathed with Xu Tingyu made Lin Fengmian’s heart flutter.
“Master Ye, are you still there?” Jun Yunshang’s worried voice came from behind.
“Still here!”
Lin Fengmian couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time. This woman had once been bitten by a snake and had been afraid of ropes for ten years.
“Don’t go too far…”
While bathing, Jun Yunshang kept an eye on Lin Fengmian’s back through the shadows of the trees.
“Got it, just relax and enjoy your bath, don’t torture me,” Lin Fengmian said helplessly.
“Sorry…”
Jun Yunshang subconsciously thought that he was annoyed with her and didn’t dare to say more.
Unbeknownst to her, Lin Fengmian was in a state of longing but powerless, suffering immensely.
A beautiful woman was bathing behind him, and he wasn’t allowed to look, yet he wasn’t allowed to leave either.
What kind of torture was this?
Sighing, if only a snake would appear in the water to scare her out.
“Lin Fengmian, what’s wrong?” Luo Xue asked.
“Nothing, it’s just like a group of eunuchs going to a brothel, how much sorrow can there be?” Lin Fengmian said sadly.
But of course, Luo Xue couldn’t understand this faint sadness.
In the evening, Lin Fengmian noticed that Jun Yunshang, who usually slept at the first opportunity, was sitting cross-legged in meditation, a rare sight.
“Why the sudden urge to improve?” Lin Fengmian asked in surprise.
Jun Yunshang sat with her back straight, her impressive bosom held high, and her graceful curves were eye-catching.
“I want to reach the Core Formation Realm as soon as possible!” she said with a serious expression on her face.
“Oh, hah…” Lin Fengmian couldn’t help but laugh when he saw her earnest face, understanding that she wanted to achieve the fasting state as soon as possible.
“What’s so funny?” Jun Yunshang asked, blushing and angry.
“I’m just thinking of something happy!”
Lin Fengmian bit his lip, trying very hard not to laugh.
“What happy thing?”
“Cough, cough, I can’t tell you,” Lin Fengmian deflected.
“You’re clearly laughing at me, you jerk!”
Jun Yunshang was completely exasperated, her chest heaving with emotion, a beautiful sight.
After this commotion, their relationship became much closer.
The next day, Jun Yunshang didn’t maintain her usual princess demeanor, but sat comfortably on the edge of the flying boat.
Her long, graceful legs dangled in the air, looking relaxed and carefree.
It seemed that after yesterday’s events, she had completely let go.
“Isn’t this better? Why bother to keep up this princess facade?” Lin Fengmian said casually.
Jun Yunshang turned her body, clearly not wanting to deal with the person who had taken advantage of her and laughed at her.
I’m so upset, and he’s still laughing!
On the road, Lin Fengmian kept stopping from time to time to let her take care of her daily affairs.
At first, Jun Yunshang felt a bit uncomfortable and unnatural, but she gradually got used to it.
The Fourteenth Prince’s pursuit soon caught up with them again, giving Lin Fengmian a headache.
This guy is really like a stubborn ghost!
However, these people could only cause him some trouble and give him some battle experience. One by one, they all met their end at his hands.
The two of them traveled through mountains and cities without any concealment, and their route clearly led straight to Junlin City.
Lin Fengmian’s reputation spread throughout the Junyan Empire, attracting attention from all sides.
Many people knew of this genius cultivator who had comprehended the Dao in a single night, breaking through realms as easily as drinking water, and becoming a Soul Severing Realm cultivator in just a few days.
The factions of the Northern Abyss couldn’t help but discuss him, and major forces began investigating his background.
Originally from Kang City in Lu State within the Junyan Empire, Ye Xuefeng was an ordinary person who had stumbled into cultivation due to the destruction of his city.
He first appeared to the public in Luoyan City, where, with the help of the Sixteenth Princess, he bought a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill and broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm overnight!
A few days later, under everyone’s watchful eyes, his cultivation advanced rapidly, and he successfully crossed the Tribulation, becoming a Core Formation Realm cultivator.
Due to his involvement in the succession struggle, he fled far away and disappeared from public view.
During this time, no one knew what opportunities he had encountered, but when he reappeared a few days later, he was already at the peak of the Core Formation Realm.
He seemed to have a special bond with Princess Yunshang, and when they met again, he broke through forcefully, slaying powerful enemies.
Whether it was due to his infatuation with the stunningly beautiful Princess Yunshang or for some other reason, he traveled with her, protecting her.
A few days later, he engaged the Fourteenth Prince’s two top generals in front of Shuiyuan City, and in the presence of a large crowd, he crossed the Tribulation, slaying two Soul Severing Realm experts.
In the following days, his aura continued to rise steadily, and the generals dispatched by the Fourteenth Prince were killed off one by one like chickens and dogs.
Now, he was advancing toward Junlin City with a fierce momentum, ready to eliminate any obstacle in his path.
This meteoric rise of a genius had successfully caught everyone’s attention.
Everyone was astonished by his terrifying rate of improvement, trembling at his rapid advancement.
Given enough time, would he reach the Unity Realm or even the Void Realm?
Could there really be a heavenly being in the world?
However, what slightly reassured them was that his advancement speed had slowed down, proving that he was still a normal person.
Were it not for the current special period in the Junyan Empire, such a monstrous talent would have already attracted the attention of higher powers.
Tomorrow, he would face his biggest challenge yet: the One Line Sky.
It was said that all the imperial heirs had sent their experts to test this genius’ abilities.
Many troublemakers also went out of curiosity to see if this legendary genius could overcome the challenges the heirs had prepared.
This battle was the focus of all, and countless people were looking forward to it!
At this moment, under the night sky, Lin Fengmian was sitting on a tree branch, holding a wine flask and drinking water.
The bright moon hung high behind him, making him look ethereal and extraordinary, but his mood was far from good.
The small pond behind him was filled with the sound of water and Jun Yunshang’s cheerful humming, making him feel even more frustrated.
Lin Fengmian, who could only watch from the tree, felt like crying.
I have the will to kill the enemy, but I lack the means to turn the tide!
If only I had my spear, this little girl wouldn’t dare look down on me like this!
“Master Ye, tomorrow we will face the One-Line Sky. The Fourteenth Prince and other imperial siblings will definitely have people lurking around. Do you have any plans?”
Jun Yunshang’s melodious voice carried over the water, clearly showing her trust in Lin Fengmian.
Lin Fengmian replied irritably, “My plan is to cut down anyone who stands in my way with a sword. Hurry up and finish your bath, and stop chatting with me while you’re in the water.”
