Chapter 329: Wishes
Lin Fengmian looked at her resolute expression and reluctantly accepted the black dragon pendant.
“All right, congratulations on becoming an adult.”
Jun Yunshang solemnly put away the White Phoenix Pendant, her face beaming with joy. “Thank you, this is the best gift I have ever received!”
Lin Fengmian helplessly shook his head. “If your father heard this, he’d probably pass out from crying.”
Jun Yunshang giggled. “He won’t!”
Lin Fengmian smiled softly. “What do you want? I’ll see if I can help you fulfill it.”
Jun Yunshang looked at him, her face flushed and her eyes misty, clearly a bit tipsy.
“Young Master Ye, can you take me with you?”
Lin Fengmian was taken aback, and then pretended not to hear clearly. “What did you say?”
Jun Yunshang’s eyes showed a hint of disappointment. She picked up her wine glass and drained it in one go, then mustered up the courage to speak again.
“Young Master Ye, I don’t want to be a king anymore. Can you take me away?”
Lin Fengmian opened his mouth, glanced at the wine on the table, and said dejectedly, “Girl, I told you not to fall in love with me. We have no future together.”
“I know I killed your wife, and I didn’t mean to.”
Jun Yunshang bit her red lip and looked at him. “I can make it up to you. I can be your wife and spend my whole life making it up to you. Is that okay?”
Lin Fengmian looked at the moon’s reflection in the pond and felt melancholy. “Yunshang, you don’t like me, you like an illusion.”
“I am like the moon in the water, seemingly within reach, but actually far away. Being powerful, invincible, and carefree are all illusions.”
“The real me is not what you imagine. I am greedy, lustful, cowardly, and of average talent. I’m just an ordinary person, nothing special.”
He flicked his finger, sending a gust of wind that shattered the moon’s reflection in the pond. The water rippled and the moon’s image wobbled.
“False things are always false, and they shatter at the slightest touch.”
Jun Yunshang frowned. “But Young Master Ye, you are real here.”
Lin Fengmian smiled. “If I lost my talent tomorrow and became an ordinary person, would you still like me?”
“Of course!” Jun Yunshang said firmly.
“If I were just a greedy, lustful, cowardly, ordinary person, would you still like me?” Lin Fengmian said half laughing, half crying.
“Yes! I like the Young Master Ye who has been with me all the time, the Young Master Ye who takes care of me!” Jun Yunshang said firmly.
Lin Fengmian was at a loss for words. You’ve left me no room to speak. What am I supposed to say?
He sighed. “You don’t understand. If you saw the real me, you probably wouldn’t even look at me.”
“Yunshang, at least we’ve made a good impression on each other on this trip. Let’s consider it a beautiful dream”.
“When the dream is over, we’ll go our separate ways, like the mythical Qingniao and Feiyu, touching each other briefly but never meeting again.”
Jun Yunshang didn’t understand what Lin Fengmian was saying and shook her head. “Young Master Ye, I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
“Even if we are like the Qingniao and Feiyu, I am just a foolish fish. Even if I dry up and die, I am willing to follow you.”
Lin Fengmian sighed. “Even if you want to follow me, there’s no chance. I don’t belong to this world.”
Jun Yunshang suddenly remembered what he had said about being a fallen immortal and realized something. She said dejectedly, “Young Master Ye, are you really going to ascend and leave?”
Lin Fengmian hadn’t expected her to think this way, so he went along with it. “You can say that. I won’t stay in this world for long.”
He looked at the dejected Jun Yunshang and said, “How about we change your wish?”
Jun Yunshang stared at him, her eyes filled with reluctance. “Since you have to leave, can I see your true face?”
Lin Fengmian’s hand rose slightly, and Jun Yunshang’s eyes sparkled as she gazed at him with a look of deep affection.
Luo Xue reminded him, “Lin Fengmian, you’re not from this time and place. Don’t show your face so as not to cause a chain reaction.”
His raised hand froze in mid air, and then he reluctantly lowered it, shaking his head. “I can’t.”
The light in Jun Yunshang’s eyes quickly faded. “Why is Young Master Ye wearing a mask?”
“For the same reason you wear a veil, to avoid trouble,” Lin Fengmian deflected.
“Are you really that afraid that someone will fall in love with you?” Jun Yunshang said in displeasure.
“I’m also afraid of someone falling in love with me at first sight,” Lin Fengmian joked.
“What’s the difference?” Jun Yunshang asked.
“One is a delay of one night, the other is a delay of a lifetime,” Lin Fengmian smiled. “I can’t grant this wish, how about another one?”
Jun Yunshang shook her head, somewhat dejected. “I have no other wishes.”
Seeing her unhappy expression, Lin Fengmian sighed and picked up the wine Jun Yunshang had placed on the table.
“This time, it’s my fault. I’ll make an exception and punish myself with a drink. Happy birthday to you.”
He finished the drink in one gulp, causing Jun Yunshang to look at him in shock and Luo Xue to cry out in alarm.
The wine burned his throat and he felt a bit choked, not understanding why.
What’s going on? Why is this Zhu Fruit Wine so difficult to drink?
Luo Xue immediately flew into a rage and angrily said, “What are you doing? You actually drank it, how despicable!”
Lin Fengmian smiled, “It’s fine, I just used your body to take a sip, it’s not a big deal.”
“No big deal? You deal with it yourself!” Luo Xue said in displeasure.
Lin Fengmian didn’t understand, but it was just one cup, so it should be fine.
Jun Yunshang’s face turned slightly red when she saw Lin Fengmian drink from her cup.
But she still looked at him anxiously. “Young Master Ye, you said you can’t drink, are you okay?”
Lin Fengmian shook his head. “I’m fine, it’s just one cup, it’s not a problem.”
Seeing his normal expression, Jun Yunshang didn’t think much of it.
“That’s good, but now that we’re in Junlin, even if you get drunk, it won’t be a problem.”
The cool evening breeze made Lin Fengmian feel comfortable, his body feeling lazy and clear-headed.
This girl can actually drink, she tricked me so badly.
I feel pretty clearheaded, don’t I?
Seeing that he didn’t answer, Jun Yunshang said softly, “Young Master Ye, if you don’t like me, why are you being so nice to me?”
Lin Fengmian felt as if he had been hexed, his thoughts becoming sluggish.
He spoke with a slight slur, “Who said that? You’re so… beautiful, who wouldn’t like you? I… like you!”
Jun Yunshang froze, staring at Lin Fengmian in a daze, feeling as if she were in a dream.
“Young Master Ye, you said you like me?”
Just as Lin Fengmian was about to say something, Luo Xue quickly reminded him, “Lin Fengmian, be careful!”
Lin Fengmian was suddenly startled, sensing that something was wrong, and stood up hastily.
However, everything around him began to blur, as if the world was spinning.
“Luo Xue, it’s not good, did we fall into an array? Why is everything spinning?”
Luo Xue was taken aback, her Divine Consciousness quickly scanning the area, but she found no enemies or traces of an array.
“There is no array!”
