LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 490: Ding Bonan
Chapter 490: Ding Bonan
Two days later, Lin Fengmian and his group were about to arrive at Heavenly Grace King City.
Although they had been attacked in the past two days, they hadn’t faced an enemy as strong as Qi Lian Nuo.
The corpses of all the enemies were hanging from the mast of the ship, creating a dark, swaying scene that was both terrifying and awe-inspiring.
At this moment, Lin Fengmian stood at the bow of the ship, his face gloomy and his mood far from good.
For the past two days, there had been no response from Luo Xue, which had caused him great concern.
Logically, Luo Xue should have returned to Qionghua by now. Could it be that she had been confined for escaping without permission?
But even if she were confined, she should still be able to send some kind of message!
This was strange!
Perhaps someone was watching her, making it inconvenient for her to contact him?
Maybe Luo Xue was just delayed by something!
If history was unchangeable, Luo Xue should at least be safe at this moment – after all, she would become the future Sect Master of Qionghua.
Unable to reach Luo Xue, Lin Fengmian could only pass the time with Shangguan Qiong.
The results of their dual cultivation were quite good. He was now at the peak of the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, equivalent to several years of hard cultivation.
However, according to the laws of energy conservation and energy loss, what is gained must be lost.
At this moment, Shangguan Qiong’s face was pale, and she looked at Lin Fengmian with resentment.
This guy was well-behaved at night, but he was completely day-night reversed!
He constantly drained her spiritual energy, and she had barely left the bed these past few days.
After being tormented by Lin Fengmian like this, she wasn’t just suffering from lust poison anymore-she was almost developing a fear of men.
No matter how potent the lust poison was, it couldn’t withstand this frequency of energy absorption!
Moreover, Shangguan Qiong realized that he was truly relentless, and her “rear defenses” were in jeopardy.
She was on the verge of tears and wished that she could run away immediately.
But as Lin Fengmian had said, if he failed the trial, his status would plummet.
At that point, not only would the Joyful Union Sect be in trouble, but he might not be able to protect himself!
So Shangguan Qiong could only resign herself to her fate, allowing Lin Fengmian, her “fluid-bestowing mentor”, to impart his teachings day after day.
In the pursuit of perfection, she was gradually improving, and her “experience bar” was indeed filling up day by day.
But if he kept draining her like this, she might even drop a realm.
Seeing Shangguan Qiong’s pouty expression, Lin Fengmian couldn’t help but feel a bit guilty.
This woman hadn’t changed her attitude recently!
Even though he had been bullying her, she still remained stubborn but compliant.
He was starting to feel a little bit bad about it.
No, he couldn’t afford to be soft-hearted!
After all, she was a great cultivation supplement.
At this moment, a ship suddenly approached from the distance.
This ship seemed to be heading to Tianze City as well, but it dared to cut in line despite seeing the military warship. Whoever was on board had some guts!
Elder Ming and You Yao immediately went on high alert. As the ship drew closer, they saw the Ding Family’s flag flying on it.
Elder Ming frowned and said, “Your Highness, it seems to be someone from Grandmaster Ji Mu’s residence!”
At the bow of the ship, a young man stood surrounded by a group of beautiful women, both plump and slender.
The young man was of average height and looks, but he carried himself with an air of arrogance and dominance.
Seeing the imposing formation of Lin Fengmian’s group and the densely packed corpses on the mast, he was visibly startled.
When he spotted Lin Fengmian at the bow, his eyes narrowed slightly and he said with some surprise, “Jun Wuxie?”
Lin Fengmian quickly searched for information in his memory and came up with the answer.
Heavenly Grace Dynasty, Ding Family, Ding Bonan!
Ding Bonan was similar to Jun Wuxie – a top-class playboy of the Heavenly Grace Dynasty.
He was the grandson of Grandmaster Ji Mu of the Heavenly Grace Dynasty, and the so-called Grandmaster Ji Mu was none other than Ding Fuxia.
After Jun Chengye’s death, Ding Fuxia became the only grandmaster in the Heavenly Grace Dynasty, and his status surpassed even that of the Heavenly Grace King in some ways.
When Heavenly Grace King Jun Qingsheng encountered him, he had to respectfully address him as “Uncle”.
As a result, the Ding family had prospered in the Heavenly Grace Dynasty and reached the peak of its influence.
Ding Bonan, a member of the Ding family, had a status no less than that of the descendants of the royal family.
Although Ding Bonan was not the eldest son of the Ding family, he clearly had ambitions for the position of head of the family.
He had long aligned himself with Crown Prince Jun Yunzheng, serving him loyally and becoming a staunch supporter of the Yunzheng faction.
Ding Bonan was also a disciple of the Heavenly Grace Palace, but unlike Jun Wuxie, who relied on connections, Ding Bonan had real talent.
This guy had decent natural aptitude and knew how to adapt to the times, which allowed him to reach the Great Perfection stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
He and Jun Wuxie had a feud because Jun Wuxie had once forcibly taken away a woman Ding Bonan liked.
After Ding Bonan joined forces with Jun Yunzheng, he became even more arrogant and often caused trouble for Jun Wuxie in the Heavenly Grace King’s palace.
At this moment, Ding Bonan’s face was dark. He hadn’t expected Jun Wuxie to come back alive.
Hadn’t Crown Prince Yunzheng said that Jun Wuxie wouldn’t make it back to Tianze City?
Lin Fengmian smiled and said, “Cousin, you seem quite surprised to see me.”
Ding Bonan forced a smile and replied, “Not at all. I just didn’t expect you to return so soon.”
His eyes lit up when he saw the enchanting Shangguan Qiong and the mysterious You Yao standing beside Lin Fengmian.
In a familiar tone, he said, “Cousin Wuxie, where did you find these fairies? They’re top-grade!”
He didn’t take Lin Fengmian seriously because Jun Yunzheng and others had already suppressed Jun Wuxie to the point of submission.
Although there had been rumors recently that Jun Wuxie was about to be promoted, Ding Bonan didn’t care.
What was there to fear from a lone wolf with no support?
Lin Fengmian smiled faintly and said, “I didn’t want to, but these fairies insisted on coming along.”
He turned to Shangguan Qiong and asked, “Fairy Shangguan, isn’t that right?”
Shangguan Qiong gave him a flirtatious look and said, “Who wouldn’t be attracted to Your Highness’s dashing looks? Even Yuqiong couldn’t resist.”
Ding Bonan’s face darkened as he looked at Lin Fengmian’s handsome face, feeling a surge of jealousy.
Damn it, why does this guy have to be so good looking?
Wait a minute…
Fairy Shangguan?
Yuqiong?
He turned to the seductive Shangguan Qiong and asked in surprise, “Fairy Shangguan?”
Shangguan Qiong nodded slightly and curtsied. “Shangguan Yuqiong of the Joyful Union Sect greets Young Master Ding.”
“It really is Fairy Shangguan of the Joyful Union Sect?”
Ding Bonan’s breathing grew heavier and he nearly drooled, his expression turning into that of a lovesick fool.
“Fairy Shangguan, since you’ve come to Tianze City, you must visit the Ding residence and allow me to play host!”
As he shamelessly ogled Shangguan Qiong, his lustful intentions were all too obvious.
Lin Fengmian snorted coldly. Was this guy really trying to play the host?
No, he was clearly lusting after her body. How despicable!
He pulled Shangguan Qiong into his arms, declaring his ownership.
“Cousin Bonan, isn’t it a bit too much to try to steal from me right in front of my face?”
Ding Bonan’s eyes burned with jealousy as he watched Lin Fengmian’s hand rest on Shangguan Qiong’s waist.
“Cousin Wuxie, you misunderstand. Fairy Shangguan is a free woman. You should respect her wishes!”
Lin Fengmian patted Shangguan Qiong’s bottom and said with a smile, “Beauty, tell him who you belong to.”
Shangguan Qiong was annoyed by Lin Fengmian’s constant groping, but could only smile sweetly and lean against him obediently.
“Of course, Yuqiong belongs to Your Highness.”
After all, the reason she had gone through so much trouble to replace the real Jun Wuxie was to use his name as a shield.
