Chapter 6: Chains of Power and Ambition
Chapter 5:
The next morning, Lin Fan sat in the grand meeting hall, Xiao Mi perched on his lap, her body submissively pressed against his, Her hands were busy gently massaging him, while she fed him pieces of food from a silver platter, placing them directly into his mouth. Her eyes reflected a blend of surrender and care, clearly showing her new status as an obedient tool under his complete control.
Raising his hand, Lin Fan calmly ordered one of the servants. "Go and tell Xiao Zhan to come here."
The servant respectfully bowed and left quickly, returning moments later with Xiao Zhan, Upon entering, Xiao Zhan immediately noticed Xiao Mi, elegantly seated on Lin Fan's lap. A wave of relief swept over him. It was clear that she was now part of Lin Fan's life, meaning she no longer posed a threat, which was a good thing for him.
"Young Master," Xiao Zhan said with a deep bow, showing a face full of respect and submission that was completely different from his true feelings.
Lin Fan smiled slightly, then asked in a calm voice, "Is everything ready for you to leave?"
"Yes, young master, we have almost finished the preparations." Xiao Zhan replied respectfully.
"Very good." Lin Fan nodded with satisfaction, then continued, "I will go with Yu Kuan. Do not worry about the Yu family. I'll return in time before they plan anything. They won't harm your family before I'm back."
Xiao Zhan bowed once more with deep respect, "I understand, young master. "Thank you for ensuring our protection, young master."
"You can go now." Lin Fan waved his hand without another glance, his mind was already elsewhere.
After Xiao Zhan left, Lin Fan slightly turned his head towards Xiao Mei, who was looking at him expectantly. He slowly leaned toward her, nibbling her ear softly, causing her to tremble slightly, before planting a light kiss on her neck. She offered no resistance, having fully accepted her submissive role.
Lin Fan smirked devilishly, then pulled out a fifth-grade cultivation technique and a combat technique, handing them to her.
"These are for you. Practice well during the days I'm gone. I don't want useless vases next to me."
Xiao Mei took the techniques with trembling hands while lowering her head submissively. "Thank you, young master. I will do my best."
Lin Fan smiled faintly and said, "Well done. That's what I like to hear."
Lin Fan then summoned his servant again, and calmly ordered him, "Go and tell Yu Kuan to come here."
The servant hurried out to carry out orders, and within a few minutes, Yu Kuan appeared at the entrance of the room. His expression was cold, devoid of any concern for the scene before him. Xiao Mi, who was supposed to be his wife, sat on Lin Fan's lap in a humiliating position, massaging and feeding him like an obedient maid. Anger simmered within Yu Kuan. He had become nothing more than Lin Fan's slave, and instead of being furious at this display, his thoughts were now focused on finding a way to break free from this degrading servitude.
Despite everything, Yu Kuan was in a relatively good mood; he had received a fifth-grade cultivation technique and had already begun converting his old fourth-grade technique to the new one. Although he had only mastered about 10% of the new technique, the growing sense of power within him was undeniable, easing the sting of humiliation. The benefits of following Lin Fan had, for the time being, made him tolerate the situation, although he was still determined to take his revenge and regain his freedom in the future.
When Yu Kuan entered the room, he bowed with forced submission before Lin Fan and said, "Young master."
Though Yu Kuan despised Lin Fan to his core, he knew that standing by his side for now was the only way to survive, at least until he could grow stronger and free himself from this humiliating bondage.
Lin Fan, when he saw Yu Kuan showing submission, smiled arrogantly. He felt his ego swell as he watched Yu Kuan, once an opponent, now bow before him like an obedient slave. He couldn't resist the temptation to make fun of him.
"Hmm, Yu Kuan, are you starting to enjoy being under my command? You seem to be adjusting quickly." Lin Fan said, sarcasm dripping from his voice.
Yu Kuan remained calm, hiding his anger behind an indifferent facade. He replied in a steady tone, "I follow because I see the benefits, young master."
Yu Kuan had no choice but to swallow the insult. Inside him, feelings of anger and shame were burning, but he knew that he did not have the strength to take revenge yet.
Raising an eyebrow, pleased with Yu Kuan's submission, Lin Fan mockingly added, "I'll be going with you now, be ready."
"To where?" Yu Kuan asked curiously.
Lin Fan let out a short laugh before answering vaguely, "You'll find out on the way." Then he turned his attention back to Xiao Mei, who was still sitting on his thigh, and began to play with her hair strands with two fingers.
He leaned in slowly, taking in her scent deeply, and whispered with a voice full of disdain, "I'll miss you, my little toy."
Xiao Mi, who had completely surrendered, raised her head slightly and softly said, "I will be here waiting for your return, young master."
There was no resistance in her response; she knew that obedience was her only path to survival. Despite his constant humiliation, she showed no signs of rejection or complaint.
Yu Kuan watched the scene with apparent indifference, but inside, his anger boiled. Seeing Xiao Mi, who was supposed to be his, being treated this way in front of him only added to his sense of humiliation. Yet anger wasn't the only emotion overwhelming him; the feelings of shame, disgrace, and helplessness gnawed away at his pride.
"This won't last forever." Yu Kuan thought to himself, struggling to keep his emotions in check and mask them behind a cold exterior.
Lin Fan then stood up calmly and gestured for Yu Kuan to follow him.
They left the mansion behind, leaving the Beast City as they ventured down the road. Lin Fan's thoughts turned toward his future plans. He looked at Yu Kuan and asked in a serious tone; "I want to recruit a few experts from the Deep Sky Realm to become elders of the Lin family. Do you have any suggestions?"
With his wealth of experience, Yu Kuan did not need much time to think. He knew the right characters very well. He replied in a calm voice, "There are two well-known twins in the demonic circles, both of whom are at the fifth layer of the Profound Sky Realm. Their names are Li Mu and Li Qing. They follow the demonic path and became the target of the Yu Family after they stole an extremely rare martial technique called the 'Demonic Harmony Art' of the Fourth grade."
Lin Fan raised his eyebrows intently as he listened to Yu Kuan. "Demonic Harmony Art?"
"Yes," Yu Kuan continued, "It's a rare cooperative technique that requires a high level of synchronization between its users. With it, the twins can even defeat an expert in the seventh layer of the Deep Sky Realm. The Yu family has been unable to kill them despite chasing them, and besides, no one within the family could even use such a complex technique."
Lin Fan pondered for a moment before smiling with satisfaction. "So, demonic twins with such power? They sound like a good addition."
Yu Kuan nodded and added, "I recently heard that they've been spotted in Xiao Lin City, which isn't far from here. If we move now, we can reach it in about three days."
Lin Fan's lips curled into a wicked smile as he immediately agreed. "Sounds like a great idea. Let's go to them right away."
Without hesitation, Lin Fan and Yu Kuan set off for Xiao Lin City, determined to recruit the twins into the Lin family, confident that their power would serve his future ambitions.
