The head of the elders stared at his young master with a blank face. The teenager had made way too many oaths for him to remember.
Yu Mingye sighed again and murmured, "I swore on two 'musts': I must take everything that Jun Linyuan has and I must steal the hearts of all the women Jun Linyuan likes!"
The head of the elders was still confused. "So, you're saying…?"
Rubbing his chin, Yu Mingye scanned Feng Wu up and down with his eyes and frowned again. "It's about Jun Linyuan's taste… Gosh, look at that girl! How can I bring myself to do it?"
There was only one word for her looks, her figure, and her capabilities… Worthless!
"Sigh." Staring at Feng Wu, Yu Mingye heaved a sigh and sounded like he was struggling with himself. "If Jun Linyuan can do it, so can I! I'll just close my eyes! Yes!"
The head of the elders looked at Yu Mingye sympathetically. "Young Master, how about…"
"No!" Yu Mingye stared at the elder, his big, pretty eyes opening wide. "You weren't there! You have no idea how humiliating it was!!"
The head of the elders looked utterly baffled.
"Jun Linyuan stepped on my head! Twice!
"And he forgot my full name! He. Doesn't. Know. What. My. Full. Name. Is!!!" Blue veins popped on Yu Mingye's forehead.
He regarded Jun Linyuan as his ultimate rival, but the guy couldn't even remember his name… Yu Mingye drew in his breath, feeling humiliated.
The head of the elders watched as his young master hopped around like a child. "…Sigh."
"I don't care!" Jun Linyuan smacked the tree trunk in frustration. "This time, Jun Linyuan is going to remember who I am! He has to!"
"And?"
"What do you think of me? Am I beautiful?" Yu Mingye smiled at the head of the elders. His mesmerizing amorous eyes could melt the toughest stone heart.
There was something wickedly enchanting about him that tickled one's heart.
The head of the elders sighed in resignation. "… Yes, you are!"
That filled Yu Mingye with confidence right away. Brushing his long black hair off his shoulder, he said, "So, all I need to do is to take that girl and make her fall in love with me. That way, Jun Linyuan will have to remember my name!"
The head of the elders sighed inwardly.
In front of anyone else, their young master was this frightening figure, but when Jun Linyuan was involved… Yu Mingye simply turned into a kid seeking attention.
At the same time…
Feng Wu lost sight of Yu Mingye in the blink of an eye. She frowned a little. Had she seen something that wasn't there?
No, it couldn't be. She instinctively remembered that pair of bright, amorous eyes. That was a pair of eyes that could suck the soul out of someone, which had a beauty she couldn't have just created out of her imagination. It definitely hadn't been an illusion.
However, since the person was gone, Feng Wu didn't give it another thought.
She turned in the direction of the ruckus.
There came a mighty bang.
The python crashed onto the ground from the air, making an enormous boom.
Jun Linyuan moved as fast as lightning and his sword slashed down, leaving a pale red arc in the air!
The next second, the python split open along its spine!
It was cut in half!
Blood sprayed out like a red mist!
What strength!
How frighteningly powerful he was!
Watching Jun Linyuan descend slowly to the ground, Yu Mingye suddenly realized that since the last time he saw Jun Linyuan, the guy had improved significantly again!
I like that in an opponent! Clenching his fists, Yu Mingye gestured at the others and they soon disappeared into the night.
As soon as Jun Linyuan landed, Feng Xun and Xuan Yi went up to him in a hurry and stood one on each side. They looked pleasantly surprised. "Boss Jun!"
"Yes." Jun Linyuan's poker face never seemed to change.
"Is that python dead? You killed it, just like that? Boss Jun, you've gotten so much more powerful again!" Feng Xun couldn't suppress the excitement in his voice.
Jun Linyuan only said, "It was injured already."
"I know that!" Feng Xun was still just as excited. "But it was injured because you set Yu Mingye up, wasn't it? So, at the end of the day, you still take the credit! Ahh!!! Immortal Spiritual Fruit! It's finally ours!"
The tiniest smile emerged on Jun Linyuan's handsome face.
This was the first time Feng Wu saw his lips curl up since meeting him again.
Feng Wu's heart sank.
By the look of it, this Immortal Spiritual Fruit was very important to Jun Linyuan as well, otherwise he wouldn't have come all the way here from the imperial capital or smiled over the fruit.
But…
Feng Wu clenched her fists!
That fruit was hers! It had to be!
What would it take to steal that Immortal Spiritual Fruit from Jun Linyuan?
Feng Wu racked her brain, but nothing came to her.
Jun Linyuan was simply too smart, not to mention that he was highly vigilant, meticulous, and frighteningly powerful… Feng Wu realized sadly that she would have been better off if the fruit was still guarded by the python, for she would at least have had a chance. Now, she had zero idea where she could find an opening.
What now… what to do… Feng Wu almost scratched her scalp raw, but her head remained blank.
Soon, they reached the campsite they had stayed at the previous night.
Feng Xun said, "Traveling in the mountains after dark is too dangerous and we're all tired. Let's spend the night here and we'll move out tomorrow morning."
They all went to bed after that.
Feng Wu rolled around in bed, holding her blanket. The Immortal Spiritual Fruit was in sight, but there was nothing she could do to get her hands on it. She felt utterly frustrated.
Was she going to have to use herself as a honey trap now? Feng Wu smiled wryly, for she knew that Jun Linyuan would never fall for it. What about…
While Feng Wu was still tossing and turning, a figure approached her quickly and covered her mouth.
Feng Wu's eyes opened wide when she saw a face covered by a mask.
The man in black jabbed a finger into the acupoint that controlled her voice, then wrapped her in the blanket, threw her over his shoulder, and dashed off!
"You…"
Feng Wu wanted to cry out, but to her disappointment, she couldn't make a sound.
She tried to struggle, but found resignedly that she couldn't move a muscle, for the man in black had attacked some other acupoints of hers, rendering her immobile.
Right now, Feng Xun and the others were cultivating, which was why no one realized that she was missing.
It seemed forever when with a thump —
Feng Wu was tossed onto the ground, still wrapped in the blanket. She rolled with the momentum and eventually got out from under it.
Before she could get up, she looked into a pair of amorous eyes.
Those eyes… Feng Wu's heart skipped a beat!
She remembered!
