Chapter 529: Did a Beauty Pass By?
If Jun Chengye could speak, he would probably get up and kill this brat immediately.
This was just too much!
Lin Fengmian searched Jun Chengye’s body and the entire cave dwelling, but he couldn’t find any related books or manuals.
He helplessly shook his head. It seemed that either the instructions were stored in Jun Chengye’s spatial ring, or there were no records at all.
Since Jun Chengye wasn’t dead, Lin Fengmian couldn’t open his spatial ring, leaving him at a loss.
The Double Fish Pendant had dimmed, and he couldn’t contact Luo Xue at the moment. He would have to wait until tonight.
Time was running out. The selection was about to begin, and he couldn’t afford to delay any longer.
Lin Fengmian set up the Soul Confusion Array from the Heavenly Deception Sect and used a pile of magical tools to suppress Jun Chengye before reluctantly stopping.
Based on his calculations, Jun Chengye wouldn’t wake up for at least ten days.
Worried that someone else might enter, he sealed the hidden chamber and set up formations to create the illusion that he was in seclusion before leaving.
As he was leaving, Lin Fengmian passed by the pool of blood and noticed a jade vial placed at the edge. He was so moved that he nearly cried.
He really is too good to me! Knowing that I can’t open his spatial ring, he even left out the Zhu Rong essence blood for me!
What kind of selfless spirit is that?
Of course, he knew that Jun Chengye had prepared this essence blood to further refine his body after possessing it. He just didn’t expect it to end up benefiting Lin Fengmian.
With tears in his eyes, Lin Fengmian pocketed the Zhu Rong essence blood, silently resolving to make Jun Chengye continue to “shine brightly”.
Just wait, old man. I’ll sacrifice you later!
When he returned to his residence, the old steward Elder Ming , who had been pacing anxiously at the door, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Your Highness, what took you so long? The water is ready. Please take a bath and change your clothes!”
Lin Fengmian nodded and entered the bath. The Han sisters quickly came over to help him wash.
This kind of luxurious treatment made him feel incredibly comfortable after his narrow escape from death. He couldn’t help but sigh.
The soft embrace of a beauty is the grave of a hero. It really sapped one’s fighting spirit!
At first, he had been a bit uncomfortable with it, but hey, wasn’t this all part of imitating Jun Wuxie?
Under the pressure of time, Lin Fengmian stood up to get dressed and noticed a familiar face.
The newly appointed maid, Song Xiangyun, was blushing furiously and almost closing her eyes as she handed him his clothes.
If Lin Fengmian hadn’t stopped her, Miss Song would have walked right into the pool.
The Han sisters deftly helped Lin Fengmian get dressed, and he casually asked, “Why has Miss Song been losing so much weight lately?”
Song Xiangyun shook her head, her voice barely audible. “It’s nothing.”
Of course, she couldn’t tell him that she had been starving herself to escape his clutches.
She had lost over ten pounds, all in the hope that Lin Fengmian would lose interest in her.
Wuwu~ Why hasn’t daddy come to rescue me yet?
Lin Fengmian had no idea about her little scheme. With the Han sisters’ help, he was soon dressed in the Heavenly Fiend Hall disciple uniform.
The Heavenly Fiend Hall uniform was black and red, with the emblem of the Heavenly Grace King Palace on the right chest – an axe above the national emblem of the Heavenly Grace Dynasty.
When Lin Fengmian saw the axe for the first time, he almost laughed. People might think you’re a member of the Axe Gang!
Joking aside, the black and red outfit gave him a touch of demonic charm, making him look even more sinister and imposing.
With one arm around each of the Han sisters, he reached inside their clothes to “stretch his muscles” and warm his hands.
The two girls gasped, shot him shy glances, and scolded, “Your Highness, we’re running out of time.”
Lin Fengmian laughed. “Alright, let’s go!”
He walked out of the door and said to Elder Ming and You Yao who had been waiting, “Let’s go!”
Elder Ming acknowledged the order, but You Yao seemed distracted and didn’t react immediately.
As they walked out, Lin Fengmian casually asked, “You Yao, what’s wrong? Is it that time of the month?”
You Yao glared at him. “Shut up!”
Lin Fengmian grinned. “Why so grumpy? Smile a little!”
You Yao didn’t want to humor him, but remembering Jun Chengye’s words, she forced a smile that looked more like a grimace.
Lin Fengmian shuddered and moved closer to Elder Ming.
“Elder Ming, her smile is terrifying. Does she want to kill me?”
You Yao snapped, “Get lost!”
Outside the palace gates, a stunning woman stood silently as if waiting for something.
Wearing a veil and a white dress, she stood alone like a fairy, radiating an otherworldly aura.
Despite her striking presence, none of the shadow guards at the gate seemed to notice her, as if she were invisible.
If Jun Chengye had been there, he would have recognized her immediately-his younger sister, Empress Fengyao, Jun Yunshang.
After the morning court session, Jun Yunshang had suddenly remembered that today was the selection day for the various king’s palaces.
Having nothing better to do and recalling the dream she had a few days ago, she decided to come and see that familiar face.
Traveling from Junlin City to Tianze City via the teleportation array took no time at all.
Without alerting anyone, she arrived at the gates of the palace.
Just then, Lin Fengmian walked out with You Yao and the others.
Neither Elder Ming nor You Yao noticed Jun Yunshang’s presence.
After all, she couldn’t be seen with the naked eye, and her presence couldn’t be detected by the spiritual sense.
If they didn’t notice her, Lin Fengmian certainly wouldn’t. He walked straight to the carriage behind Jun Yunshang.
Jun Yunshang watched as Lin Fengmian strode confidently toward her, a hint of confusion and nostalgia flashing in her eyes.
The two passed each other, and for a moment, time seemed to stand still before resuming its flow.
Jun Yunshang couldn’t help but look back at Lin Fengmian, her gaze complex.
As if sensing something, Lin Fengmian suddenly paused and turned around, looking in her direction with a puzzled expression on his face.
Their eyes met, and Lin Fengmian’s gaze seemed to pierce through her.
Jun Yunshang was stunned, her heart skipping a beat.
Could he actually see through my Phoenix Wing Robe?
No, it must be a coincidence!
But then Lin Fengmian turned around and started walking toward her, making her heart race.
Jun Yunshang stood still, watching as Lin Fengmian approached her, her confusion growing.
Lin Fengmian’s nose twitched slightly, and he reached out as if he wanted to touch something.
Jun Yunshang frowned as his hand moved toward her chest and disappeared from the spot.
Lin Fengmian’s hand closed on empty air, and he looked bewildered.
I was sure that someone was here. Why couldn’t I touch them?
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, catching a faint, familiar scent.
The fragrance was familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had smelled it before.
“Your Highness, what’s wrong?” Elder Ming asked, puzzled by Lin Fengmian’s strange behavior.
Lin Fengmian’s expression was complicated, but he smiled and shook his head.
“Nothing. There’s a refreshing scent here. It seems like a beauty had just passed by.”
