Chapter 550: Chapter 550: Rumors All Over The City

Just as their lips were about a hair’s breadth apart, Fang Lin suddenly took a step back.

This step back made Dream Falling Flower’s expression subtly change, and a hint of surprise flashed in the depth of her eyes.

“Let’s forget it. I’m not mentally prepared yet,” said Fang Lin, but his expression was somewhat playful.

Everyone was momentarily taken aback. What was going on? Where was the affectionate scene they expected?

A number of young men were cursing inwardly. They were so close to a kiss, why did Fang Lin suddenly retreat at the most critical moment?

On the other hand, people like Chen Yongnian breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Fang Lin still had his wits about him, knowing what he should and shouldn’t do.

As for Dream Falling Flower, her expression was rather unpleasant, as if she felt she had been played with.

“Sister isn’t angry, is she?” Fang Lin asked pretendly confusedly.

Dream Falling Flower smiled charmingly, “Of course not. Since you are not mentally prepared, I will save this kiss for next time.”

Fang Lin repeatedly nodded his head, which only served to annoy Dream Falling Flower even more, almost wishing she could give Fang Lin a couple of good slaps.

In fact, Fang Lin was testing this Dream Falling Flower.

During that extremely sensual contact just now, Fang Lin did indeed detect something. Despite her seductive appearance, Dream Falling Flower was a venomous woman. She had smeared a deadly toxin on her lips.

Such a deadly toxin could only be detected by Fang Lin when they were exceedingly close. If it was anyone else, they would likely find it difficult to notice.

Dream Falling Flower also had some doubts in her heart. She wondered if Fang Lin had noticed something, which is why he suddenly retreated at that moment.

Yet Dream Falling Flower was unable to tell, because the deadly toxin on her lips was virtually colorless and odorless. She didn’t believe that Fang Lin could have detected it.

After a thrilling contest and a potentially sensual farce, the Co-King and other people were about to leave.

However, before they left, they all cast a sidelong glance at Qi Sanxuan.

After all, they were invited by Qi Sanxuan to force Fang Lin into a match with Zhang Wenxuan. Although the result was not as expected, they did come after all.

Qi Sanxuan was distressed. Inviting these dignitaries cost him a lot and even required some higher-level connections. Otherwise, with his status alone, he wouldn’t be able to convene these people.

Now that his original plan had not been achieved, it was a situation where he had not only failed to gain something but ended up losing instead.

Qi Sanxuan had no other choice. At this point, all he could do was to bite the bullet and endure. He could only blame Fang Lin for being outstanding and unpredictable.

After seeing off Chen Yongnian and the others from the Pill Alliance, Fang Lin walked up to Dream Falling Flower as everyone watched him, wondering what he was up to.

“Sister, I have something to tell you,” Fang Lin said with a big smile.

Dream Falling Flower giggled, “Go ahead, sister is all ears.”

Fang Lin smiled, went closer to Dream Falling Flower’s ear, smelling her body’s scent. He lowered his voice and whispered, “The poison on your lips, make sure I don’t sniff it out next time.”

After speaking, Fang Lin retreated, his face beaming with a mysterious smile.

Dream Falling Flower also kept her smile, looking like nothing was amiss, then left with the Co-King and others.

“What did you say to that woman?” Mo Ziming looked at Fang Lin curiously.

“It’s a secret.” Fang Lin replied with a satisfied smile.

…

Inside the prince’s mansion, Mengyuan’s face was gloomy without any flashes of charm.

Zhou Yishui asked calmly, “Has he figured it out?”

Mengyuan nodded and replied in a somewhat cold tone, “I never thought Fang Lin would be so powerful. He actually discovered the poison I hid on my lips.”

Zhou Yishui didn’t exhibit any surprise. “You never make mistakes.”

Mengyuan scoffed, “Even if I did make a mistake, what of it? Fang Lin has offended my Hidden Kill Hall. No matter how many tricks he has, he has only one way – death.”

Zhou Yishui looked at Mengyuan, “According to you, Fang Lin is about to get the attention of the Pill Alliance. This will provide us with more opportunities in the future.”

Mengyuan laughed coldly, “You’ve no clue on the capabilities of my Hidden Kill Hall. No target is unkillable.”

Zhou Yishui also laughed, “Really? Can your Hidden Kill Hall kill the leaders of the Upper Three Countries?”

At these words, Mengyuan’s face changed dramatically, her eyes bore into Zhou Yishui.

····

In Xuan City, Fang Lin’s name was once again the talk of the town, even more so than last time.

“Did you hear? Fang Lin from the Lower Three Kingdoms defeated Zhang Wenxuan.”

“Who in Xuan City doesn’t know by now? Fang Lin is really formidable. He is now the number one talent in the Pill Alliance.”

“I always said he was something special.”

“Didn’t you say last time that Fang Lin wouldn’t stay long in Xuan City?”

“He has possession of three types of Soul Commanding Pill Fire. Fang Lin is truly fortunate!”

“His Alchemy is even more terrifying. It’s said to be an ancient method.”

“There’s also a interesting thing, Fang Lin actually flirted with Dream Falling Flower from the prince’s mansion after defeating Zhang Wenxuan.”

“I heard about that. My cousin is an alchemist in the Pill Alliance. He was on the spot and saw it with his own eyes. That stunning woman, Dream Falling Flower, actually kissed Fang Lin!”

“Dream Falling Flower is the number one beauty in Xuan City! Fang Lin is terribly lucky!”

“What do you know? Fang Lin has stirred up a hornet’s nest this time. Everyone knows Dream Falling Flower is the prince’s woman.”

“This is even more interesting. He dared to touch the prince’s woman. Fang Lin is really bold!”

“I feel like Fang Lin is deliberately trying to get at the prince.”

…

As for these rumors in Xuan City, Fang Lin was not interested at all. After the Alchemy battle with Zhang Wenxuan, he was preparing to enter the Hundred Beast Mountain.

Originally, Fang Lin was not interested in going to the Ferocious Mountain. However, considering his inability to break through to the tenth level of the Earth Element, he might find some opportunities by going on a trip to the Ferocious Mountain.

Chen Yongnian informed Fang Lin that he had caught the attention of the upper echelons of the Pill Alliance. Before the opening of Ferocious Mountain, a Hall Master would come.

Although the Hall Master didn’t specify his intentions, according to what Chen Yongnian disclosed, this Hall Master may be interested in Fang Lin’s potential and plan to take him as a disciple.

Fang Lin remained calm about this matter. While being apprenticed to a Pill Alliance Hall Master would indeed elevate his status, it was still better to stay practical at present.

One day, Dugu Nian arrived, looking very angry. She appeared as if she had ate a hot chili pepper. It was clear to everyone that this darling of the Dugu Family was in a bad mood.

“Where’s Fang Lin? Tell him to get out here!” Dugu Nian started shouting as soon as she arrived, drawing surprised glances.

Dugu Nian was genuinely intoxicated with anger, because the whole of Xuan City was spreading the news about Fang Lin and Dream Falling Flower being intimate.
