Chapter 9:
The next morning, as sunlight streamed through the ornate large windows, one of the beautiful girls stood outside Lin Fan's room, politely requesting to enter in a soft voice. From within, Lin Fan's voice came, relaxed and inviting, allowing her entry.
Upon entering, she was greeted by a scene that reflected Lin Fan's absolute power and control. Several beautiful girls knelt on the ground like pets, quietly licking the floor and cleaning up the remnants of the previous night's feast, where food scraps were strewn about. On the other side, two girls stood beside him, their faces obedient and their eyes reverent, carefully assisting him in dressing, as if they feared touching any part without his permission.
Meanwhile, Xue Bing lay nearby, writhing with pleasure under his touch, relishing every moment with him, as he carelessly tossed pieces of fruit and bread crumbs onto the floor. Whenever a piece fell from his hand, the kneeling girls rushed to pick it up and consume it as if it were a gift from the heavens.
The girl who entered showed no reaction to this scene, completely ignoring Lin Fan's absolute dominance. She then bowed deeply before him, expressing her utmost respect, and said in a tone filled with admiration, "Master Lin Fan, the head of the Ding family, Master Ding Su, invites you to a banquet he has arranged in your honor."
Lin Fan glanced at the girl, as if the invitation from the Ding family head was nothing more than a fleeting detail in his day. He replied in a relaxed tone, "I will go." Then, with a sly smile, he added, "You must be hungry, right?" Before she could answer, he tossed a few bread crumbs in her direction.
The girl quickly understood his hint, and gratefully bowed before him, her eyes shining with a sort of loyalty. She dropped to all fours as instructed and began delicately picking up the crumbs with her tongue like a pet, a scene reflecting her complete submission to his authority.
Lin Fan watched this display with satisfaction, his smile widening as she continued her performance.
Afterward, the two girls finished dressing him, and one of them approached him with a black whip, which elicited a light chuckle from Lin Fan as he took it in his hands. "I really like this whip; it has so many different and enjoyable uses."
Then he looked at Xue Bing, who was still receiving his touches, and whispered in her ear, "I bet you enjoyed it last night, didn't you?"
She eagerly replied, her eyes shining with ambition and obedience, "Of course, my Master. It was an unforgettable experience, and I'm here to fulfill your every desire."
Lin Fan smiled mischievously, pleased with her response that reflected her complete loyalty and confidence. "You always know how to impress me, Xue Bing."
She gazed at him enticingly, playing with her soft hair, "I will always be here to serve you, to fulfill your wishes and make you happy, my Master."
With those words, a spark ignited in his eyes, as he continued to play with the whip, looking forward to what he could achieve with this obedient girl who embodied all he desired.
Then Lin Fan tossed all the crumbs and scraps of food he had in his hands around the room in one swift motion, as if to express his disregard for everything around him. He began to step slowly, his hand wrapping around Xue Bing's waist, while his gaze held an irresistible dominance.
In a deep and commanding voice, he said, "You must eat everything, and leave no crumbs on the floor."
Then he turned his eyes toward the girl still kneeling and eating the crumbs, confidently ordering her, "Lead the way."
The girl immediately rose, responding swiftly to his command, and began to lead him, clearly showing her respect as she replied, "As you wish, my Master." Her steps were confident, expressing her complete loyalty to him, while Lin Fan walked beside Xue Bing, enjoying the power he wielded over them all.
After a brief walk through the city, they finally arrived at the magnificent Ding family estate, which gleamed with its vast spaces and lush gardens, adorned with marble statues that reflected the grandeur of the place. Ding Su, the head of the Ding family, awaited him with six clan elders, all standing in a majestic line, their faces reflecting respect.
Ding Su smiled warmly as he approached Lin Fan, while the others bowed humbly, expressing their deep respect. Ding Su said in a confident voice, "Master Lin Fan, we are honored to welcome you to our estate; your presence here is a source of pride for us."
Lin Fan nodded coolly, looking at Ding Su with challenging eyes, as if regarding a lesser being. "Thank you, but you know my presence here is an honor for you, not the other way around," he added in a voice filled with confidence, a smirk forming on his face that made everyone feel the weight of his absolute dominance.
Then Ding Su led them inside the estate, where they entered a grand banquet hall, filled with the delightful aromas of sumptuous dishes laid out on a richly adorned table. Many beautiful girls danced seductively, adding an atmosphere of excitement to the place, their laughter filling the air with alluring charm.
Lin Fan cast a condescending glance at the guests, noting four men and one middle-aged woman, all belonging to prestigious families, each at the Golden Core realm.
The six elders of the Ding family took seats nearby, expressing their status, while Ding Su occupied a central chair, asserting his authority and elevated position. However, Lin Fan's attention was drawn to another empty seat, which appeared even more luxurious, reserved for him.
Lin Fan stepped towards the chair and paused for a moment, frowning slightly as he surveyed the opulent seats around him. Then he said in a calm yet challenging tone, "Aren't there any seats of the same quality as the one I sat on last night?"
Ding Su immediately understood what Lin Fan meant, and with a nervous and hurried tone, he looked at one of the beautiful dancing girls and ordered her quickly, "Get down immediately and make yourself a seat for Master Lin Fan!"
The girl hurried, and without hesitation, she moved the chair slightly and knelt on all fours, waiting for Lin Fan to sit on her, her eyes filled with embarrassment and submission.
Lin Fan smiled with arrogance, showcasing his dominance and authority in front of everyone. He calmly sat on the girl's back as if she were merely a piece of furniture, then placed Xue Bing on his lap, beginning to feed himself obediently. The gazes of the onlookers were riveted upon them, wondering in astonishment at Lin Fan's audacity, which paid no mind to them whatsoever.
At that moment, Ding Su glanced at the attendees, his voice echoing throughout the hall, "Friends, this banquet is held in honor of young master Lin Fan." He continued with a tone filled with appreciation, "He has achieved countless feats, including defeating The Devilish Twins, making him a model of bravery and strength."
While everyone was aware of these accomplishments, the tension in the banquet atmosphere was palpable, as they could not ignore the aura embodied by Lin Fan's character.
Ding Su then began introducing the men and women present at the banquet, proudly pointing out four clan leaders of the third tier and one clan leader of the second tier. Each time someone was introduced, they bowed respectfully and introduced themselves to Lin Fan, who paid them no mind, merely nodding in acknowledgment, as his focus remained fixed on Xue Bing in his lap, exploring her body with keen interest.
Next, it was the turn of a third-tier clan leader named Yi Xian to be introduced. She had enchanting features, with her purple hair cascading over her shoulders, adding an undeniable allure to her face. Her eyes sparkled with a deep blue hue, and her well-proportioned body was adorned in an elegant gown that reflected her sophisticated style, surrounded by an irresistible charm.
As she approached to introduce herself, she bowed respectfully like the others, saying in a soft voice, "My name is Yi Xian, it is an honor to meet you, Master Lin Fan."
Lin Fan responded with a smug smile, his eyes gleaming with clear curiosity, "You are truly beautiful, Yi Xian. I cannot exclude you from my special invitations. If you wish, you may visit me tonight to enjoy my company." His tone carried an arrogant lilt, sending a direct message with his words.
Yi Xian delighted in Lin Fan's admiration of her and replied with a gentle smile, "It would be an honor for me, my lord. I would be lucky to be in your company." Her statement carried a direct affirmation of her acceptance, increasing Lin Fan's admiration for her.
In a corner of the banquet, a third-tier clan leader observed Yi Xian with deep contemplation. He had a strong impression that she had struck a significant fortune by being the object of Lin Fan's admiration, who showed interest only in the best of the attendees. He wondered to himself, "How did Yi Xian attract his attention so easily?" It was a rare opportunity, as with the overwhelming aura Lin Fan possessed, it was challenging for anyone else to draw such attention. Yi Xian's smile and her ability to interact intelligently were evidence of her skills, further amplifying his admiration for her.
After some time at the banquet, Ding Su broke the tension that had settled in the atmosphere to address the main topic, saying with an enthusiastic voice, "Friends, I would like to announce my desire to form an alliance with Master Lin Fan." Everyone stopped in their tracks, captivated by the words spoken by Ding Su.
Lin Fan asked, in a questioning tone, "And what benefits will I gain from this alliance?"
Ding Su replied confidently, "There will be significant benefits, my Master. Our alliance will enhance our position in this volatile world and grant us greater strength to face any challenges. You can rely on our full support in any battle, and we will have opportunities for resource exchange."
Though he was smiling, Lin Fan thought to himself why he would need an alliance when all he had to do was subjugate Ding Su. However, outwardly, he nodded, saying, "Alright, I agree to that."
Ding Su took a deep breath, and with a serious expression, said, "Your agreement is wonderful, Master Lin Fan, but I see an urgent need for a strong bond connecting our families as members of this alliance. There is no better way to solidify this connection than through marriage." His voice was composed and filled with confidence, causing the attendees to pay close attention to his words.
He then clapped his hands excitedly, commanding the guards, "Bring in Ding Xia."
