Martial Arts, the Fairy's Cultivation

Lin Dong was slightly taken aback, but didn't bother to clarify anything.

The Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce was indeed the first force he had made contact with since arriving in Yan City, and they had given him a lot of preferential treatment. Given Lin Dong's nature of clearly distinguishing between gratitude and resentment, he had already decided to repay Xuan Su and the others for their kindness afterward.

As for the truth, Lin Dong was at a loss for words. Apart from promising Mu Zi to keep it a secret, Lin Dong himself did not know where to bring it up. He couldn't very well say that he was a kept man, could he?

"Alright, let's talk about those things later. Brother Lin Dong has been working so hard cultivating outside, let's give you a proper welcome back, you great contributor!"

Qingtan naturally took Lin Dong's arm and, under Liu Yan's smiling gaze, led him inside.

The two walked side by side. Because of her petite stature, Qingtan's head barely reached Lin Dong's chin. When she shook her head, her hair bun swayed in front of Lin Dong's eyes, like a cheerful little bird.

"Hehe, this time I won't let Brother Lin Dong go so easily!"

Qingtan's lips curled into a slight smile. It's so nice to be with Lin Dong again...

Hmm? Something's not right.

Upon closer inspection, Qingtan seemed to sense something, and a look of suspicion appeared on her face.

It smells good.

Why does Lin Dong smell like a woman?

-

The three days arrived as scheduled.

A beautiful figure dressed in white and barefoot stood in front of the Lin family's mansion, which was under construction, her purple eyes peering into the gate through the veil.

Before she could do anything, the door in front of her was pushed open from the inside. Lin Xia was about to go out when she saw the beautiful woman in white in front of her and froze on the spot.

What a beautiful person! They look like they stepped out of a painting!

Seeing the beautiful and spirited woman standing in front of the door staring at her blankly, Mu Zi felt that the scene before her was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't quite put her finger on why.

"Miss, are you looking for someone?" Lin Xia suppressed the amazement in her eyes and looked at the white-clad beauty whose face was veiled by a light veil, and said softly.

Mu Zi nodded slightly: "Lin Dong should be staying here. Please tell him for me, just say..."

"Fine, I'll go see him myself."

In a flash, Lin Xia was surprised to see that the white figure in front of her had suddenly disappeared, as if it had never existed.

Lin Xia was stunned for a moment before belatedly realizing what was happening.

Such a fairy-like girl actually knows Lin Dong and even came to his door in person. Her attitude is a bit unclear. What's going on?

A strange look flashed in Lin Xia's eyes as if she had thought of something. Could it be that Lin Dong had gotten into some romantic entanglements outside?

Mu Zi appeared in Lin Dong's room.

A scorching heat filled the air, and intermittent "whooshing" sounds could be heard from inside the room, along with the man's suppressed yet relieved breaths.

Mu Zilian stepped across the ground, turned around a screen, and saw Lin Dong shirtless, sweating profusely, doing something.

The sudden appearance of the white-clad figure startled Lin Dong. He paused for a moment, then instinctively grabbed the clothes that were placed nearby and hurriedly draped them over himself.

"Miss Mu, when did you come in?"

Lin Dong stared wide-eyed at the slender woman in the room. Why did Miss Mu walk so silently?

"Just now."

Mu Zi's gaze swept past Lin Dong and landed on the Yang Yuan Stones placed on the ground. At this moment, Lin Dong was holding several crimson pills in his palm, which were the source of the scorching aura in the room.

Lin Dong casually put the refined Yang Yuan Pill into his Qiankun bag, then looked at the white-clad beauty with a helpless expression. "You should at least say something before entering my room! You appeared without warning without any warning."

"You're being so secretive. You haven't done anything shameful." Mu Zi raised an eyebrow. All you did was use the power of the stone talisman to purify the Yang Yuan Stone. Why are you acting so sneaky?

Lin Dong sighed, not wanting to argue with a woman who seemed to have no connection to worldly affairs. Only when you're in charge do you realize how expensive life is. How easy was it for him to earn Yang Yuan Stones? Of course, he had to be careful with his money.

Thirty thousand Yang Yuan Stones, through the refinement of the stone talisman, were condensed into a total of ten thousand Yang Yuan Pills, more than tripling in value! In his spare time during the past few days, Lin Dong practically turned into a ruthless refining machine, all in order to accumulate more wealth.

"Um, I need to get dressed."

Lin Dong covered his bare upper body, his face slightly flushed. It was unclear whether he was feeling hot from the yang energy permeating the room or simply embarrassed by the beauty in front of him.

Mu Zi's gaze met briefly before she looked away, and her melodious voice came from beneath the veil: "This is unnecessary. Before the life contract is broken, you belong entirely to me."

Despite saying that, Mu Zi still turned around and left the room, leaving Lin Dong alone.

A moment later, Lin Dong finished getting ready and looked at the white-clad figure who was waiting quietly.

"Let's go."

After closing the door, Lin Dong walked forward first, while Mu Zi followed half a step behind, silently walking beside him.

With a beautiful woman by his side, gazing at her delicate features and the alluring silhouette faintly visible beneath her veil, Lin Dong couldn't help but feel his heart flutter, as if he were walking on the edge of an empty cliff, his mind swaying gently.

No woman had ever made Lin Dong feel this way before. Lin Dong didn't know what kind of feeling it was, whether it was curiosity, fear, longing... or some kind of indescribable emotion.

What a mysterious woman! I really want to see what kind of face she has under that thin veil!

The two did not make any effort to conceal their whereabouts. Along the way, the Lin family disciples who passed by in the distance were so shocked when they saw the beautiful figure beside Lin Dong that they couldn't help but open their mouths wide and stand frozen in place like statues.

"Brother Lin Dong, have we had guests over?"

A girl's soft voice rang out from not far away. Qing Tan walked towards the two of them. When she saw Mu Zi in her flowing white dress, her eyes flashed with surprise, but then her gaze became slightly wary.

Lin Dong actually brought a woman home; their relationship seems to be more than just casual...

"Qingtan, I was just about to look for you. I'm leaving Yan City to gain experience outside for a while. Tell my parents not to worry."

Just as Qingtan was about to say something, she suddenly paused. Was Brother Lin Dong leaving again, and with a woman no less?

"Is this Lin Dong's friend?"

Seeing Qing Tan's slightly nervous face, Lin Dong assumed she was worried about encountering someone of unknown origin, so he chuckled and said, "Miss Mu is a friend I met while training outside... Without her help, I'm afraid I might not have been able to defeat Wei Tong so easily."

Upon hearing this, Qingtan's eyes flashed with realization: "So you're the benefactor Brother Lin Dong was talking about."

She remembered now. This woman was the white-clad fairy who had appeared before everyone's attention a few days ago. That fleeting glimpse had left a deep impression on Qing Tan. She had wondered why such a celestial being would appear in a place like Yan City, but she never expected that she was there for Brother Lin Dong...
