Chapter 549: Chapter 549: Satisfy You
Chen Yongnian’s slap, though not exerted with full force, was still filled with anger.
Zhang Wenxuan let out a miserable scream and fell straight to the ground, completely immobilized. A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out.
“I refuse to accept this! Fang Lin is not qualified to defeat me!” Despite all this, Zhang Wenxuan continued to scream and shout, his face twisted in grotesque rage.
Many people shook their heads in disapproval; Zhang Wenxuan had lost his mind, seemingly unable to bear the sting of defeat and had momentarily lost his sanity.
It was understandable, as the more prideful a person, the less able they were to handle defeat.
“Elder Chen, calm your anger,” said the Co-King as he rose to his feet.
Chen Yongnian glanced at the Co-King, “This is a matter of the Pill Alliance, Your Highness need not interfere.”
The Co-King opened his mouth and sighed, opting to not say anything more. Clearly, Chen Yongnian was currently provoked by the outrageous words Zhang Wenxuan had spouted.
“Lock Zhang Wenxuan up until he sobers up, then release him,” ordered Chen Yongnian in a cold tone.
“Yes!”
Immediately, two stewards from the Pill Alliance came forward, intending to take Zhang Wenxuan away.
To everyone’s surprise, Zhang Wenxuan, suddenly revolted brandishing a long knife, aimed straight at Fang Lin.
“I’ll kill you! If you die! I won’t lose anymore!” Zhang Wenxuan laughed manically, fresh blood continuously flowing from the corners of his mouth.
Fang Lin remained expressionless, not even blinking an eye, as if completely unaware of Zhang Wenxuan’s insane demeanor.
Zhang Wenxuan was not able to reach Fang Lin, as Mo Ziming took action first.
After all, Chen Yongnian, as the head of the Xuan Country Pill Alliance, can’t take heavy action against a young Pill Refiner. That would be unbecoming.
Mo Ziming, however, had no such qualms, he didn’t pay heed to any such considerations. The moment he saw Fang Lin in danger, he rigidly suppressed Zhang Wenxuan.
Zhang Wenxuan, struck by Mo Ziming’s punch, immediately had several ribs broken and spurted out a large mouthful of blood, falling to the ground, completely listless.
“Take him away! Keep a close watch!” Mo Ziming ordered coldly.
Two stewards came forward and dragged Zhang Wenxuan, who looked like a beaten dog, away. The crowd watched with shock and some of them sighed privately.
A promising genius ended up in this state because he couldn’t accept defeat. Truly lamentable.
However, the fall of one genius signifies the rise of another. This rising genius was Fang Lin.
Having soundly defeated Zhang Wenxuan, it was sufficient to demonstrate Fang Lin’s strength and potential. As one can imagine, after this battle, the title of the first alchemical genius of the Xuan Country Pill Alliance would likely fall to Fang Lin.
Thinking about this, the crowd present were somewhat dazed, particularly the Pill Refiners of the Pill Alliance, whose expressions were particularly complex.
A young man from the Lower Three Kingdoms had reached such heights within half a year of joining the Xuan Country Pill Alliance. It sounded like a story.
But it was indeed what happened in the Xuan Country Pill Alliance. Fang Lin’s rise began with the previous competition for the Domination Pill. This duel had enabled Fang Lin to climb even higher by stepping on Zhang Wenxuan.
It might seem cruel towards Zhang Wenxuan, but it was the nature of reality; those stronger than you would step on you.
Today, the original stand-off between the top five talents of the Xuan Country Pill Alliance had been shattered. Fang Lin leaped to the top, standing above the five great talents, becoming the number one talent of the Xuan Country Pill Alliance.
“This was indeed a fantastic duel. We have witnessed the rise of a young genius. Such an occurrence is truly rare.” The Co-King spoke, his eyes looking at Fang Lin with an unreadable expression.
Chen Yongnian bowed, “Your Highness jests, it was just a playful scuffle, nothing to brag about.”
At his words, the Co-King’s mouth twitched slightly. Even a perfect quality pill had been produced, so why was it still not deserving of recognition? What level of accomplishment would be worthy then?
“Elder Chen, being excessively humble isn’t good either,” Dream Falling Flower said with a smile.
Just then, Fang Lin interjected, “Miss, you promised that if I win, you would give me a kiss,” he suddenly said.
His comment silenced the entire room. Everyone looked at Fang Lin with strange expressions. Chen Yongnian’s face turned black. Was Fang Lin really so overjoyed at defeating Zhang Wenxuan that he dared to take her joke seriously?
Dream Falling Flower herself was stunned. Did this guy really think about that?
“Fang Lin, cease your foolishness!” Chen Yongnian scolded. This young man Fang Lin was too audacious. How dare he flirt with the prince’s confidante, Dream Falling Flower?
In Xuan City, who didn’t know about the relationship between Dream Falling Flower and the Crown Prince? She was considered his confidante, but in the eyes of the public, a delicate and seductive beauty like her would surely stir the heart of anyone around her. People presumed that she was already the Crown Prince’s concubine.
Daring to flirt with Dream Falling Flower? Wasn’t that the same as coveting the Crown Prince’s woman? He must be tired of living!
“Elder Chen, this sister herself said she would kiss me if I won,” Fang Lin said with an innocent look.
Chen Yongnian was speechless. You take people’s words seriously when they are joking around? Are you pretending to be stupid or are you stupid?
“Hehe, interesting, but where would you like me to kiss you?” Dream Falling Flower asked with a smile tugging at the corners of her lips.
Fang Lin blushed slightly, “On my lips, please.”
“My goodness! Fang Lin is so bold!”
“He’s gone crazy! He’s getting carried away!”
“Daring to flirt with Dream Falling Flower? How impressive!”
“If they really kissed, it would be extremely thrilling.”
…
People exclaimed in unison, particularly the younger Pill Refiners, who watched Fang Lin with a hint of admiration in their eyes.
Dream Falling Flower’s allure was known to all in Xuan City, but no one dared to harbor any intentions towards her because, in the eyes of the public, she was regarded as the Crown Prince’s concubine.
But Fang Lin was incredibly bold, wanting Dream Falling Flower to kiss his mouth. If Crown Prince Zhou Yishui knew about this, there would be a good show.
“Enough with the nonsense!” Chen Yongnian frowned. He did not want Fang Lin to be a brainless womanizer.
Fang Lin looked embarrassed and did not say anything else, but his eyes were still full of anticipation as he looked at Dream Falling Flower.
Dream Falling Flower’s lips curled up at the corners as she walked up to Fang Lin.
“Since I promised you, I’ll fulfil your wish,” Dream Falling Flower said with a smile. Her enchanting lips gradually moved closer to Fang Lin.
This scene left everyone present dumbstruck, particularly the younger ones, whose hearts were pounding.
Has the world gone mad?
Some of the young women turned red and mutely cursed Dream Falling Flower as a shameless woman.
Chen Yongnian and some of the high-level members of the Pill Alliance didn’t know what to say. Fang Lin was an oddball, but Dream Falling Flower turned out to be an even bigger one.
The distance between the two steadily declined. Dream Falling Flower and Fang Lin’s lips were about to touch.
