As the cold ray of light shone on him, Yu Mingye realized in despair that he couldn't move.
Jun Linyuan hadn't arrived, and he was one step away from the Immortal Spiritual Fruit… But he had gotten stuck here?
In that moment, Yu Mingye had never felt so frustrated.
How could this happen?!
What had he ever done to deserve this?!
However, not only was he unable to move, he couldn't even make a sound. It was the most miserable sight.
What was worse, the python discovered his hiding place.
The python slithered toward him with a body as thick as a tree trunk until its red two-pronged tongue touched his ear.
Fortunately, the three elders he had brought reacted quickly enough. Leaping out, they distracted the python and lured it away from the cliff…
Would things turn around for Yu Mingye from thereon?
In point of fact, the teenager who was excellent beyond comparison would turn into the most unfortunate guy whenever Jun Linyuan was involved.
Jun Linyuan ran up the cliff by finding his footing along the way, and that last protuberance he had stepped on was Yu Mingye's head!
And he stepped on it twice!
To Yu Mingye's further exasperation, Jun Linyuan couldn't remember his name!
Jun Linyuan. Couldn't. Even. Remember. His. Name?!
It was such a hard blow that Yu Mingye nearly had a heart attack!
"I'm Yu Mingye! Aah!!!"
When he was finally able to move again, Yu Mingye shouted at the top of his lungs in the direction that Jun Linyuan and the others had left in.
However, the only reply he received was the sound of wind rustling through the branches.
"You stepped on my head!!! Ahhh!!!"
Yu Mingye almost gave himself a stroke!
Not only didn't Jun Linyuan admit that he had stepped on another person, he couldn't even pronounce Yu Mingye's full name!
That was ridiculous!
Yu Mingye didn't care all that much about some Immortal Spiritual Fruit; the only reason he had shown up here was to make life harder for Jun Linyuan. Because Jun Linyuan's goal was to obtain the fruit, Yu Mingye made it his goal to stop Jun Linyuan from getting it.
"You've taken it. I didn't see that coming… Jun Linyuan, do you think I'll just let you leave? In your dreams!" Yu Mingye clenched his fists. "You'll soon learn what I'm capable of!"
Just then, he sensed a fluctuation of spiritual essence coming his way!
Yu Mingye was elated. His elders were back!
It was indeed the three elders, who were followed by that injured python.
Yu Mingye smirked. "Jun Linyuan, do you think you'll take the Immortal Spiritual Fruit away just like that? Just wait and see!"
After that, Yu Mingye led the python in Jun Linyuan's direction!
Somewhere ahead of Yu Mingye.
The team was pressing forward.
Even Fairy Muyao, the most finicky of them all, had stopped talking and was focused on hurrying along.
Just then, a furious snarl rang out behind them.
"Thieves! Give me back my Immortal Spiritual Fruit!" The Nine Transformation Sacred Emerald Python stuck out its two-pronged tongue, which flashed through the air like a red whip!
It slashed down at Feng Wu!
Feng Xun didn't notice it at first, but when he realized who the python was attacking, it was too late!
A chill ran down Feng Wu's spine as death caught her by the elbow —
"Watch out —" Sensing the approaching danger, Jun Linyuan frowned.
Without knowing it, he pulled Feng Wu to one side.
The next moment, he was fighting the python head-on!
Although Feng Wu was saved from the python's attack, Jun Linyuan hadn't exactly been gentle with his pull. He tossed Feng Wu aside as soon as she was out of harm's way.
Thump —
Feng Wu landed face down in the mud.
Yu Mingye, who had arrived on the scene right after the python, watched this in amazement.
His fine eyebrows creased and his bright eyes had a confused look in them as he mumbled, "That can't be right. He saved that girl? That's just not something Jun Linyuan would do! Why did he do that?"
Deeming himself Jun Linyuan's ultimate rival since they were little, Yu Mingye was baffled.
Feng Wu turned her head involuntarily at his voice.
Many years later, Yu Mingye would still remember when he met Feng Wu for the first time.
She turned around in her confused state, and in her disguise, she looked as ordinary as any other teenage girl out there. She was spitting dirt out of her mouth, together with a few bits of straw… It was the most sorry and adorable picture ever.
"Hahahahaha —" Yu Mingye guffawed mercilessly.
Feng Wu turned her resentful gaze on him right away!
Their eyes met, and the next second, Yu Mingye realized that he had just exposed himself. He cried out and dashed off right away, hiding himself in one of the trees.
Feng Wu was speechless.
While Feng Wu was still trying to figure out what was going on, Fairy Muyao glared at her and said, "Don't for one minute think that His Royal Highness saved you because you're special. Trust me when I tell you that he only did it in passing! It was nothing more!"
Feng Wu said, "Whatever."
"What kind of reply is that? Hmph! His Royal Highness doesn't like you and he never will! He only saved you because it was convenient!" Fairy Muyao clenched her fists, as if trying to convince herself.
Feng Wu only found the fairy ridiculous. Spitting out the mud in her mouth, she retorted, "Has he ever saved you in passing, then?"
Bullseye.
Fairy Muyao felt like she had just been smashed in the chest by a hammer and went stiff. Staring at Feng Wu, she couldn't think of anything to say in return.
When she finally recovered from the initial shock, she stormed off right away!
Her footsteps were exceedingly loud, which demonstrated how infuriated she was.
Behind Fairy Muyao, Feng Wu stuck out her tongue. Yup, that's how I rock. Bite me!
Now far away on a branch, Yu Mingye bit his lip, his amorous eyes darting around.
The fairy was right; Jun Linyuan had indeed pulled that ordinary girl away from danger. Was she somehow special to Jun Linyuan?
Yu Mingye examined Feng Wu up and down.
She had a face that looked no different from the next girl.
She was so slight that the wind could blow her away.
And she had no spiritual essence or cultivation whatsoever.
If he had to say something nice about her, he supposed that she did have very clear, bright eyes.
She was Jun Linyuan's type? Seriously? Rubbing his chin, Yu Mingye frowned and found it hard to believe.
His elders arrived at that moment. After jumping into the old tree that was so thick it would take ten people to join hands all the way around its trunk, the head of the elders asked Yu Mingye, "Young Master, what's bothering you?"
Yu Mingye sighed. "Your Excellency, do you still remember the oath I took?"
