Chapter 279: Are you using this to test me?
Luo Xue scowled, “Speak plainly!”
She really couldn’t understand how Lin Fengmian planned to break the stalemate. After all, Jun Fengya had at least ten experts from the Unity Realm. If they blocked the city gate, there would be no way forward.
Given Lin Fengmian’s current strength, ten Unity Realm experts would be more than enough to deal with him.
The reason Jun Fengya had only sent one Unity Realm cultivator to block him at the gate was that she wanted to test his strength. Otherwise, Lin Fengmian probably wouldn’t even be able to enter the city.
However, Lin Fengmian mysteriously replied, “The wise man has his tricks, just wait and see.”
“Do you believe that I will beat you to death?” Luo Xue gritted her teeth.
“Don’t rush, everything is in place, we’re just missing the right moment. As soon as the item arrives, I’ll tell you,” Lin Fengmian grinned.
Luo Xue didn’t press the issue further, but she still responded with a dry “Okay,” before asking, “Why are you taking off my clothes?”
Her voice was calm, but a murderous aura could be felt.
Lin Fengmian froze as he was unbuttoning his clothes and laughed awkwardly, “It’s a habit, do you believe me?”
“I believe, I believe you’re a pervert. Get lost,” Luo Xue’s voice was filled with anger.
Lin Fengmian was instantly sent into his spiritual sea for another dizzying experience, making him feel like the world was spinning.
“I swear I didn’t mean it!”
After a while, Lin Fengmian staggered out of the bathroom, swaying as if he had been drinking.
“Luo Xue, you’re too much! I feel like I’m going to throw up,” he complained.
“If you dare to take advantage of me again, I’ll make you spin for three days and nights,” Luo Xue huffed, her tone playful yet firm.
“I know I was wrong.”
Lin Fengmian’s apology sounded sincere, but Luo Xue had already grown accustomed to his behavior.
“Yes, yes, you know you were wrong, but you just won’t change, will you?” Luo Xue sighed in despair.
Lin Fengmian chuckled. “My parents gave me life, but only you really understand me, Luo Xue.”
As they walked out of the bath, Jun Yunshang noticed his unsteady steps and asked curiously, “Young Master Ye, what happened to you?”
Lin Fengmian remained silent and suddenly slammed the bathroom door, leaving Jun Yunshang stunned.
A moment later, he opened the door again and Jun Yunshang tilted her head in confusion. “Young Master Ye?”
Lin Fengmian muttered, “It turns out that I didn’t open the wrong door after all. I thought I was doing something wrong when I found a fairy in my room.”
Jun Yunshang couldn’t help but chuckle, her smile as radiant as ever. “Young Master Ye, you have a special way of complimenting people.”
She was dressed in a magnificent palace outfit, quite different from her usual attire, exuding an ethereal, celestial aura.
Her face was lightly made up, and her already breathtaking beauty seemed even more enchanting.
Her smile made everything around her pale in comparison.
“Are you going to see your lover at the banquet tonight?” Lin Fengmian asked, his curiosity piqued.
“Why do you say that?” Jun Yunshang was clearly thrown off by his sudden question.
“Why else would you be dressed up so beautifully?” Lin Fengmian smiled ironically.
“It’s for my Ninth Sister’s invitation. I can’t disrespect the occasion. But if you’re talking about a lover, I do have one,” Jun Yunshang said, covering her mouth with a soft laugh.
“That’s strange. Didn’t she say that she wasn’t bringing anyone? Could it be…?” Lin Fengmian asked in disbelief.
Jun Yunshang couldn’t hold back her laughter and grinned, “You guessed it.”
She was no longer the same carefree person Lin Fengmian had first met; her demeanor was now dignified and full of grace.
Her appearance reminded him of the noble aura she had back when they first met, as if she were untouched by the mundane world.
“Even though I don’t approve of your inner circle stuff, I still wish you well,” Lin Fengmian commented.
Lin Fengmian’s expression turned serious as he spoke, “And by the way, you won’t be able to have children.”
Jun Yunshang stared at him, processing his words for a long moment before her face flushed with anger. “Young Master Ye, you are despicable!”
Her previously dignified and graceful appearance shattered in an instant, reverting back to her cute princess-like demeanor.
Lin Fengmian chuckled heartily, and Jun Yunshang pouted, “Is this how we’re going to do it?”
“Yes, that’s how we go. Just clean and proper,” Lin Fengmian said casually.
He wasn’t particularly worried; after all, tasks like changing clothes were beneath the young master of the Lin family.
An hour later, Lin Fengmian and the radiant Jun Yunshang walked out of the inn, stunning the people outside.
The two of them were strikingly handsome and beautiful, even though their faces were covered by masks and veils. However, their aura left a lasting impression.
At the gate, a luxurious carriage drawn by a mysterious beast with a well-dressed young man as the driver was already waiting for them.
The moment the driver saw Lin Fengmian and Jun Yunshang, he was momentarily mesmerized by their presence.
After a while, he snapped back to reality, jumped down from the carriage, and bowed. “I’m Du Xing’an, I’ve been ordered by the Ninth Prince to wait for you.”
“Sixteenth Prince, Young Master Ye, please get in the carriage. Her Highness is waiting for you at Heavy Bright Pavilion.”
Lin Fengmian glanced at Du Xing’an, noticing that he was a Unity Realm expert who was surprisingly acting as a carriage driver.
It was probably temporary, but it showed the impressive control Jun Fengya had over her subordinates.
He nodded. “Thank you. Yunshang, let’s go.”
Approaching the carriage, Jun Yunshang extended her hand elegantly.
Du Xing’an’s eyes brightened and he was about to take her hand when he noticed her sweet smile directed at Lin Fengmian.
Lin Fengmian chuckled and took her hand instead. “Please, my princess.”
Du Xing’an felt like he had been fed a full meal tonight.
Damn it!
Was this necessary? Torturing him like this with their display of affection?
But he did not dare to say anything more. After the two of them entered the carriage, he obediently drove it toward Heavy Bright Pavilion.
The Heavy Bright Pavilion wasn’t far away, and it was the tallest building in the city, crowned with a giant dazzling pearl.
When they arrived, Lin Fengmian got out of the carriage first, and Jun Yunshang gracefully stepped down with his assistance.
“Young Master Ye, I didn’t know you had such a refined side. You just never showed it to me,” Jun Fengya’s teasing voice reached them.
Lin Fengmian looked up to see Jun Fengya in a red palace dress, looking softer than usual.
The already beautiful Jun Fengya looked even more majestic in the fiery red robe, exuding a noble and cold elegance.
There was an air of arrogance in her demeanor, one that made others want to conquer her.
Lin Fengmian only gave her a brief glance before saying nothing further.
Jun Yunshang, on the other hand, curtsied gracefully. “Greetings, Your Highness. Sorry for keeping you waiting.”
Jun Fengya smiled. “I just arrived as well. Little sister, Young Master Ye, please come in.”
The three of them climbed the stairs to the top floor, which was lavishly decorated with gold and jade, but without being gaudy. Instead, it had a refined, aristocratic air to it.
The banquet was held in a spacious octagonal room, with huge floor-to-ceiling windows lining each side. The view of the entire Chongming City was spectacular, offering an unparalleled panoramic view.
In the center of the room was a round stage decorated with various gems, under a ceiling that resembled the vast sky. It was a breathtaking sight.
Around the stage were three tables arranged in a triangular formation, adding an interesting touch to the room.
There were eight beauties in the room, each with different body types, from plump to slender, dressed in revealing clothes that showed off their ample breasts in an almost disturbing manner.
Lin Fengmian couldn’t help but glance at them with disdain. Is this really the test you’re giving me?
He sneered inwardly, Who do you think you’re dealing with? Do you dare to wear less?
