Lin Feng's Confidence, Lin Junyu Gets Tangled Up!

River Hill City, Snow Moon Tower.

This was a legendary restaurant with over two hundred years of history, its branches spread across the continent.

Whether in the human empires or the Demon God Kingdom, it enjoyed enormous renown.

At that moment, in one of the restaurant's private rooms, Lin Junyu was devouring the food piled across the table.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng sat beside him, staring at his wallet with a pained expression.

He had already begun regretting offering to pay for the meal.

"Big brother, what's your name? Where are you from?"

Lin Feng was determined not to let today's meal go to waste.

He picked up his bowl and joined the battlefield.

But he had not forgotten his objective either.

"Me? My name is Lin Junyu! Where am I from? I came from the sea!"

"Pfft!"

Lin Feng, who had just taken a sip of fresh chicken soup, immediately sprayed it out when he heard the name of this man who looked like a refugee.

"What? What did you say your name was?"

Wasn't that the name of the Luminous Empire's Third Prince from two hundred years ago?

"A real man does not change his name standing or sitting. What's wrong with being called Lin Junyu?"

Impossible. The Third Prince had died two hundred years ago. This guy was probably just someone with the same name.

"You said you came from the sea? Isn't that humanity's forbidden zone?"

Having grown up in the coastal River Hill City, he had heard the old fishermen talk about it since childhood.

The deep sea was terrifying beyond measure. No one who went there ever returned. It was humanity's forbidden zone.

Those who lived along the coast had a rule passed down through generations: no one was allowed to approach the deep-sea restricted zone. Anyone who went would die!

According to some marine explorers who had fortunately escaped from the edge of the deep sea, there were many enormous monsters inside that could devour people whole.

Several times in imperial history, ocean-going naval fleets had been sent into the deep sea to investigate, but none had returned.

The largest imperial maritime expedition had been launched under the organization of Lin Huang, the eleventh emperor of the Luminous Empire.

It had taken place right after the campaign against the Demon God Kingdom. Everyone believed the emperor had already unified the continent and was about to seek out new lands to conquer.

Yet the Empire's enormous force of three hundred thousand elite naval troops, trained painstakingly over many years, vanished without a trace after swearing their oath and setting sail from Weishan Port.

It was as though those three hundred thousand imperial sailors had simply disappeared into the deep sea.

"Mm, it really is humanity's forbidden zone. Someone as weak as you would just die if you went there!"

Lin Junyu shoveled food into his mouth, looked Lin Feng over, then said with complete conviction.

"Me? Weak? I'd die if I went? Do you know who the strongest person among the Empire's younger generation is? It's me!"

Looking at Lin Feng's doubtful yet confident expression, Lin Junyu hesitated. Better not crush his confidence.

He had cultivated internal energy for over two hundred years, mastered the Light Ripple Art to its peak, and even built upon it to create the Light Ripple Art Plus.

Even so, he did not dare claim that he could enter the deepest, most mysterious tenth zone of the deep sea.

Ancient human civilization had been too insane. No one knew what they had researched in the deep sea or what kind of monstrous things they had created.

Every marine creature was fiercer than if it had eaten fertilizer, with both its size and genes having undergone mutations.

Moreover, after developing from ancient times until now, the deep sea had already formed the beginnings of a civilization, complete with a certain social structure.

The ten zones defined by Lin Junyu were the best proof of that. The powerful firmly occupied the innermost positions.

And that central location must have been the core region of the sunken civilized continent in ancient times.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're incredibly strong! I'm utterly inferior!"

For the sake of him spending so much to treat him to a meal, Lin Junyu still went against his conscience and flattered him.

"Of course. Since you came from the sea, have you seen anything strange? Like enormous monsters or something?"

Lin Feng was very curious about matters overseas. After all, the farthest he had ever gone was training in the waters around the continent.

"Now that you mention it, I'm wide awake. What haven't I seen? Let me tell you, there were—"

Bang!

Just as Lin Junyu was about to tell Lin Feng about his experiences in the deep sea, the private room's door was violently shoved open.

A cold, stunning beauty in a purple dress entered.

Her eyes were fixed directly on the disheveled man sitting in his seat, his right hand resting on a young man's shoulder.

"Lin Junyu! You still remembered to come back!"

A mature woman's voice, cold yet irresistibly alluring, came from the icy beauty's lips.

It was imposing, yet filled with deep resentment, as though she had encountered some heartless man who had abandoned her.

The icy beauty who had arrived with obvious hostility and an intimidating aura stared at him.

Lin Junyu hurriedly rose to his feet, then embraced Zichuan Mingyue, who was on the verge of an emotional breakdown.

Two hundred years had passed. The scent of the man she had once known best instantly filled her entire being.

Zichuan Mingyue's icy aura immediately crumbled, and she pressed herself tightly into Lin Junyu's embrace.

Watching the scene unfold before him, Lin Feng felt as though he had been walking peacefully down the street only to be suddenly kicked.

Lin Junyu stroked the beauty's hair and breathed in her familiar fragrance. In that instant, all the exhaustion he had accumulated over two hundred years was healed.

"You've worked hard!"

A thousand words from Lin Junyu condensed into a single sentence.

Yet the impact of those words was enough to make a woman who had spent two hundred lonely years without anyone to rely on burst into tears.

In Lin Junyu's arms, Zichuan Mingyue began to cry, no longer caring about her image.

Watching the touching scene before him, Lin Feng felt incredibly awkward standing there. Should I be outside instead?

"Hey, you two! I'm still here!"

The unfamiliar man's words immediately made Zichuan Mingyue stop crying. She lifted her lovely face and looked at Lin Junyu.

"I'll wait for you on the top floor. Hurry up!"

Then, trailing a fragrant breeze behind her, she left.

"You've got some skills. You look this scruffy, yet such a beautiful woman actually likes you!"

"Ahem, ahem. I'm full. Eat properly here. I have something to take care of!"

With that, Lin Junyu abandoned the bewildered Lin Feng and left the private room.

He made his way to a luxurious private room on the top floor and opened the door.

The room was dim, but the moment he stepped inside, a soft body pressed itself against him.

In the darkness, he could only see a pair of eyes filled with madness and desire.

No one knew how much time had passed before Lin Junyu felt the delicate body that had clung to him so wildly, leaving him unable to breathe, finally calm down.

Their bodies and hearts remained tightly entwined. The longing they had suppressed for two hundred years was released wildly in that moment.

Lin Junyu held Zichuan Mingyue and looked at her exhausted yet satisfied, flushed face before gently kissing her.

"Tell me what happened to you. We agreed that I'd return once every ten years, so why did it take two hundred years for you to come back?"

Looking at the beauty gazing at him with resentment in her eyes, Lin Junyu told her about all the dangers and fortuitous encounters he had experienced over the past two hundred years.

"So many things actually happened... It's wonderful that you're still alive!"

Hearing that her beloved had encountered so many life-threatening dangers, Zichuan Mingyue felt only gratitude and contentment that he was safe now.

"How about you? How well did you complete the tasks I assigned you on the continent?"

"After you left, I expanded Snow Moon Tower and Shadow Hall throughout every corner of the continent. Now, we have infiltrated all regions of the continent."

"Moreover, the wealth accumulated by the two factions over more than two hundred years is enough to make you richer than a nation."

"As for the cultivation of other subordinate forces and talents, such as..."

"Whether in the Luminous Empire or the Demon God Kingdom, many of the people we trained now hold high positions. While they may not be able to alter the overall situation, they are enough to ensure that our forces face no danger!"

Zichuan Mingyue reported to Lin Junyu on the results of the various plans she had completed for him over the past two hundred years.

"Just as I thought, you truly are the bright moon Heaven bestowed upon me! It's wonderful to have you! I love you to death!"

Lin Junyu truly loved this woman who had silently devoted so much for him.

"Then let's continue. You still owe me twenty-three times!"

Upon hearing Lin Junyu's heartfelt confession, Zichuan Mingyue's eyes filled with fluttering hearts, and her entire body began to move with desire.

"Huh? What? No! Someone is still waiting for me outside. This isn't good!"

"Enough nonsense. Don't go looking for anyone else. I want you to stay with me!"

Before he could reply, something soft sealed his lips.

Lin Feng, I'm sorry. Don't blame me—I've been tangled up by a temptress.

Wait for me. Once I've subdued this temptress, I'll come find you!

At that moment, Lin Feng, still in the private room, was curiously examining the black-robed figure who had appeared before him.
