Chapter 298: Waaah~ You’re all bullying me!
Jun Fengya felt Lin Fengmian’s brazen and presumptuous gaze, as if he could see through her clothes. Her face turned deep red.
She instinctively raised her hand to shield her neckline, glaring at him with both embarrassment and annoyance. “These were borrowed from my subordinates!”
Lin Fengmian responded with a nonchalant “Oh,” his tone laced with disbelief. His reaction made Jun Fengya both flustered and angry, yet unable to prove her innocence.
Soon after, Jun Yunshang hurriedly appeared, dressed in a new outfit. Her cheeks were glowing red from her recent bath.
Jun Fengya caught a whiff of the fresh scent lingering on Jun Yunshang and noticed the nearby lake, instantly putting the situation together.
Her dissatisfaction deepened. They were both sisters, so why did he treat Jun Yunshang with such tenderness while showing her only indifference?
Was it just because Jun Yunshang was hailed as the number one beauty in Junyan?
Men were truly creatures of shallow desires!
Back at the makeshift camp, the men noticed Jun Yunshang’s flushed face and changed clothes, and their expressions became strange.
So they’d gone off to engage in that. How enviable.
No, not enviable – despicable. Hmph, shameless!
Unaware of the thoughts running through other people’s minds, Jun Yunshang happily enjoyed the food Jun Fengya had prepared.
It tasted far better than anything Lin Fengmian had ever cooked, and she was thoroughly enjoying it, her glossy red lips shimmering with oil and looking particularly enticing.
To avoid conflicts between her subordinates and Lin Fengmian’s group, Jun Fengya made her people sit farther away. The atmosphere was tense.
However, Lin Fengmian remained unperturbed and ate calmly. “The taste is passable, about the same as mine,” he said casually.
Jun Yunshang nearly choked at his remark. Your cooking? Edible?
Still, she didn’t want to undermine him, so she stifled a laugh and said, “Sister, you should definitely try it sometime!”
“Young Master Ye’s cooking is unforgettable – truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience!”
So bad that it makes you want to cry. The fishy taste is burned into your memory forever.
Jun Fengya smiled gracefully, taking her words seriously. “Then I look forward to experiencing your culinary skills, young master.”
Lin Fengmian thought inwardly, This girl has learned to lie. He made a neutral humming sound in response, unwilling to engage further.
Jun Fengya assumed that his reluctance meant that he didn’t want to cook for her, which only deepened her frustration.
A few days later, Tianyu City finally appeared on the horizon.
The city was enveloped in a massive formation, its radiance dazzling. From time to time, cultivators flew above the city walls, patrolling the area, giving the impression of a heavily fortified city.
Jun Zhen and Zhen Lang made no effort to hide their intentions – they clearly wanted to prevent Jun Fengya and Lin Fengmian from entering the city to activate the bloodline disk.
Jun Fengya’s expression turned somber as she ordered everyone to rest and prepare. They would launch their attack at dawn.
Tension filled the air as the group set up camp.
Many people couldn’t help but look at Lin Fengmian with anticipation.
Even though his arrogance was hard to stomach, no one could deny his terrifying talent.
Over the past few days, everyone had witnessed Lin Fengmian’s cultivation skyrocket, surging rapidly to reach the peak of the Unity Realm.
Now, all eyes were on him, waiting for him to break into the half-step Void Realm and lead them into the city.
If Lin Fengmian could reach the half-step Void Realm, tomorrow’s battle wouldn’t be a hard fight-it would be a landslide victory.
However, Lin Fengmian stood still, showing no signs of progress.
Some began to suspect that Jun Fengya hadn’t given him a top-grade Void Breaking Pill.
These normally proud and aloof experts started pleading with Jun Fengya, urging her not to let petty grievances stand in the way of the greater goal.
When they learned that the pill was already in Lin Fengmian’s hands, they were dumbfounded.
What is this brat up to now?
Jun Fengya had completely lost faith in these so-called experts, who were all bark and no bite.
She herself couldn’t figure out why Lin Fengmian hadn’t stepped into the half-step Void Realm.
Could it be that he feared not securing an Honored Position within the month, which would doom him to remain at the half-step Void Realm forever?
But for a monster like him, killing a Void Realm cultivator should be as easy as drinking water, right?
The small gap between the realms shouldn’t be a problem at all.
As her mind wandered aimlessly, a sudden realization struck Jun Fengya like a bolt of lightning.
No! Could he possibly be planning to use a heavenly tribulation to eliminate his enemies again?!
But without killing a Void Realm expert to claim an Honored Position, how would he summon a heavenly tribulation in the first place?
This Ye Xuefeng had progressed smoothly throughout his entire journey, often skipping tiers and defeating opponents to ascend.
Could it be that no one had ever explained the common knowledge of the cultivation world to him?
The more she thought about it, the more convinced she became. Jun Fengya decided to give Lin Fengmian a proper lesson in the fundamentals of cultivation.
She stood up and prepared to go over there, but she hesitated. After some deliberation, she decided to bathe and change her clothes before visiting him.
She feared that once she’d finished explaining the Dao, he might want to reciprocate by sharing the essence.
Jun Fengya was dressed in a stunningly elegant gown, drawing curious and strange gazes from those around her as she stepped into Lin Fengmian’s cave.
Jun Yunshang, who was preparing to rest, was promptly chased out. Sitting outside the cave on the left, she found herself flanked by the Lion Roar Beast, looking like a pair of door gods.
Jun Yunshang glanced at the spineless beast beside her, utterly baffled as to how she’d ended up sitting at the entrance.
They’re indulging in their flirtations inside, and they need someone to guard the door for them?
Waaah~ You’re all bullying me!
Inside the cave, Lin Fengmian looked up at Jun Fengya, who had shed her usual frosty demeanor and now radiated a fresh, otherworldly beauty, like a lotus emerging from water.
“Princess Fengya, why are you wandering around in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?” he asked calmly.
Jun Fengya observed Lin Fengmian’s calm expression and asked softly, “Young Master Ye, are you really not planning to take the pill and break into the half-step Void Realm?”
“I’m not planning on it right now,” Lin Fengmian replied honestly.
Jun Fengya, now more anxious, asked, “Young Master Ye, are you thinking of using a heavenly tribulation to eliminate your enemies?”
Before Lin Fengmian could respond, she continued on her own, “You may not know this, but the cultivation world operates on balance – destruction leads to creation.
“A heavenly tribulation only descends when there is an available Honored Position. Passing the tribulation will allow you to claim that position.
“Currently, all of the Void Realm’s Honored Positions are occupied. Without killing a Void Realm expert, you won’t be able to trigger the tribulation.”
Lin Fengmian chuckled softly. “I’m well aware of that. I just don’t feel like breaking through right now.”
Still perplexed, Jun Fengya asked, “Then why are you unwilling to enter the half-step Void Realm? Could it be that you’re worried about finding a Void Realm expert to kill?”
“Don’t worry, young master. Once we reach Lin Yuan City, there will surely be opportunities to kill Void Realm experts under different powers.”
“With your strength, it shouldn’t be a problem. I’ll also do everything I can to help you break through.”
Lin Fengmian shook his head. “I told you, I don’t want to enter this realm right now.”
Jun Fengya assumed that her recent behavior had not been warm enough, causing him displeasure and intentionally making him difficult.
Gritting her teeth, she sat beside Lin Fengmian and leaned close to him. She pressed her ample chest gently against his arm.
Her gaze softened and her voice was sweet and tender as she asked, “What has Fengya done wrong to upset Young Master?”
A sense of sorrow welled up in Jun Fengya’s heart.
Perhaps it was the familiarity that comes with repeated experience, but this coquettish and pleasing gesture, accompanied by her soft and flirtatious tone, now felt surprisingly natural.
She even thought, As long as I don’t take my clothes off, this isn’t such a big deal.
I’m probably beyond redemption!
I’ve fallen so far!
