Chapter 241: Easy to Invite, Hard to Send Away
Even when Jun Jueli found himself in Lin Fengmian’s clutches, he remained arrogantly defiant, showing no awareness of his predicament as a captive.
“Young man surnamed Ye, don’t get too smug. Today I admit defeat. Let me go, and I promise never to oppose you again.”
Lin Fengmian chuckled, his pitch black eyes filled with mockery.
“Your Highness, have you made a mistake? What qualifications do you have to negotiate with me?”
Jun Jueli sneered, “Boy, do you dare to kill me? Do you know the consequences of killing me?”
At that moment, Jun Yunshang hurriedly rushed over to explain, “Young Master Ye, he carries the bloodline of our royal family. If he is killed, the curse attached to it will follow you for the rest of your life.”
Hearing this about the bloodline mark again, Lin Fengmian couldn’t help but sigh; it really wasn’t easy to kill someone with a background.
Although it was a special period where the Junyan Empire allowed for killing, who knew if there would be repercussions later?
As Jun Jueli said, he really couldn’t kill the prince himself.
It wasn’t the fear of death, but the fear of causing trouble for Luo Xue.
After all, this body belonged to Luo Xue. If he killed Jun Jueli, the bloodline curse would also attach itself to Luo Xue.
Luo Xue didn’t want to expose her identity, and he didn’t want to bring trouble to her.
After killing Qin Haoxuan last time, he had been pondering how to break this bloodline curse. Curiosity got the better of him and he inquired,
“What if I cut off his limbs and leave him to fend for himself in the wilderness, or have someone else do it?”
Jun Yunshang hesitated before replying, “If he is left to fend for himself, as the last person to injure him, the curse will still be on you.”
“If someone else does it, that would work, as the curse only attaches itself to the one who inflicts the fatal wound.”
Lin Fengmian burst out laughing as he looked at Jun Jueli, “Then there’s no problem. Didn’t I hear right? The prince has chosen his own method of death?”
“Breaking his limbs and castrating him to become a eunuch? Left in a state of wanting to live but not being able to, wanting to die but not being allowed to?”
Jun Jueli shuddered in horror and cursed, “You madman, what exactly do you want to do? The royal family won’t let you go if you kill me.”
Lin Fengmian smiled brightly, “Are you trying to scare me? Don’t forget, I also have a member of the royal family here. If she kills you, who would dare to object?”
Jun Jueli finally felt fear and hastily said, “If you let her do it, who will protect her when the emperor is no longer around?”
“Killing me won’t do you any good, but letting me go can bring you many benefits.”
“I can promise you endless wealth and glory, and I swear never to seek revenge. I will always avoid you.”
Lin Fengmian pondered for a moment before pointing at the female cultivator at his feet, “If you kill her, I might consider letting you live.”
He stepped back, releasing the female cultivator and said with a smile, “Or will you save her and gamble with me again?”
Jun Jueli looked at the battered female cultivator, her eyes fixed on him as if trying to say something, and hesitated.
He took a step forward, his heart torn between conflicting thoughts.
As Lin Fengmian said, he could free her and fight Lin Fengmian again.
But if he failed, the madman would certainly not let him off the hook.
The female cultivator, her speech unclear, said, “Li… Li, free me, he’s at his limit, believe me!”
Jun Jueli trembled as he crouched down, placed his hand on her, and glanced back at Lin Fengmian.
Seeing the mocking smile on Lin Fengmian’s lips and the endless abyss in his dark eyes, he felt a chill run down his spine.
His expression twisted with rage, “Ugly woman, I’ve put up with you for too long. Die!”
With a snap, he twisted her neck, and unable to escape her Nascent Soul Realm due to Lin Fengmian’s restraints, her soul slowly dissipated.
She died with unseeing eyes, unable to believe that her lover who had once sworn eternal love for her would treat her this way.
Jun Jueli felt immense pain, not from affection for the woman, but from humiliation.
Even with his former strength, he had ended up in such a state. Now, with his followers turning against him, could he still turn the tables?
He composed himself and stood up, saying dejectedly, “I’ve done as you asked. Can you let me go now?”
Lin Fengmian shook his head disappointedly, “Why the sudden change in attitude, Your Highness? You were so brave earlier. Why not kneel down and beg for your life?”
Jun Jueli fiercely retorted, “Don’t push it too far. I am a prince of Junyan, a noble who can be killed, but not humiliated!”
“Unhumiliatable? What a joke. I’ll humiliate you! Earlier, you seemed to suggest castrating me and committing indecent acts in front of me?”
Lin Fengmian smiled slightly, “I am not as perverted as you, and I have no interest in your women. Let’s keep it simple.”
He swung his sword, slicing precisely at a certain part of Jun Jueli’s lower body, castrating him.
Jun Jueli felt a shiver down his spine and turned from a “木” to a “太”.
He curled up in agony, his screams echoing, the pain making one’s hair stand on end.
Lin Fengmian teased, “Now that you’ve lost your source of evil, I guess you won’t have so many dirty thoughts in your head.”
Jun Yunshang closed her eyes, unable to bear the sound of Jun Jueli’s screams.
Lin Fengmian said with a smile, “Do you think I’m too harsh? If I were in their hands, they would be a thousand times worse.”
Jun Yunshang nodded, keeping her eyes closed and remaining silent.
Luo Xue couldn’t stand it anymore and helplessly said, “Lin Fengmian, that’s enough. Let him die quickly. I’ll find a way to break the bloodline curse.”
“No, I don’t want to cause you any trouble, and I’m not finished yet!” Lin Fengmian replied calmly.
“What else do you want to do? Stop this evil spell before it consumes you!” Luo Xue said angrily.
“Once I release my grievances, the evil thoughts will naturally dissipate. Don’t worry,” Lin Fengmian said with a smile.
“You can force me out, but then the evil thoughts won’t leave,” he added.
Luo Xue was torn because she knew that Lin Fengmian was currently being controlled by evil thoughts.
As he said, if these evil thoughts weren’t vented, they might haunt him for the rest of his life.
Since Lin Fengmian used this evil spell to help her, and these people indeed deserved their fate,
Thinking that evil begets evil, she decided to let Lin Fengmian continue his rampage.
Seeing Luo Xue’s silence, Lin Fengmian’s lips curled slightly.
It seems that you still care about me.
Even though he was controlled by evil thoughts, both good and evil were ultimately part of him, just amplified.
Jun Jueli, having lost his manhood, wailed in despair, screaming furiously.
“I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you!!!”
Ye Ling rushed over to help him stop the bleeding, only to be kicked away.
He lunged at Lin Fengmian as if to die together, but stopped when a sword was placed at his neck, the cold blade bringing him back to his senses.
