After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

Ye Fan was startled. He had been hiding his true intentions perfectly, so how could he have been seen through at a glance?

Lin Fengmian was right.

He was indeed deficient in yang energy at the moment, which is why he had not dared to attempt to break through to the Golden Core stage.

Forcing a breakthrough in the current state would be tantamount to suicide!

But it's not entirely his fault.

If anyone's to blame, it's those junior sisters in the Holy Land who were too greedy and overly aggressive.

He really couldn't control himself.

That's why he desperately needed Chu Qingyi to use the Hehuan Sect's secret techniques to cultivate with him and replenish his lost yang energy.

He believed he had done it discreetly, without even the elders of the Holy Land noticing.

How could Lin Fengmian, a useless cultivator in the Qi Refining stage, possibly see through it at a glance?

Ye Fan looked up at Chu Qingyi, but she didn't catch the implication in Lin Fengmian's words.

She merely maintained the composure of a saintess and spoke in a slightly trembling voice.

"Lin Fengmian..." Her voice trembled slightly.

"We...we made a promise, didn't we? You promised me you wouldn't bother me anymore, and you promised you'd take the spirit stones and pills...what are you doing now?"

"Your Majesty, do you have a bad memory?"

I certainly want the spirit stones and pills, but we have indeed separated.

"Who I'm with and what I'm saying... I don't seem to need to report to you, do I?"

Could this woman... have actually been "seduced" by him?

Why are you so concerned about yourself?

That shouldn't be the case.

Upon hearing this, Chu Qingyi's eyes reddened slightly, and she felt even more aggrieved.

Just the day before yesterday, he was still smiling and calling her "Qingyi".

Using gentle words to coax, "Let's do it again..."

Now, all that remains is the distant "Holy Maiden".

You bastard!

Looking at Chu Qingyi's slightly trembling appearance, Nangong Li felt an overwhelming sense of pleasure.

She parted her red lips slightly, her tone leisurely:

"Qingyi, your senior sister has to say a few words to you. Even if you are a saintess, you can't have two roles all to yourself, can you?"

"It was you who didn't want Lin Fengmian in the first place."

"He's mine now. If you continue to speak to my man like that... my senior sister will be unhappy."

"You...you bastard!"

Chu Qingyi knew that the other party was deliberately trying to anger her, but she still couldn't control her emotions.

Seeing that the time was right, Nangong Li gracefully took Lin Fengmian's hand:

"Let's go, my husband. Let's go back to our cave. I'm a little tired... I need you to take care of me."

Lin Fengmian nodded with a smile.

Although he coveted Chu Qingyi's body, he would never become a simp.

Now that I have such a beauty as Nangong Li by my side...

The most urgent thing is to figure out how to really win her over.

"Alright, Li'er, let's go."

However, before leaving, he still wanted to test the waters one more time.

Did Chu Qingyi truly fall for him?

"Holy Maiden, I wish you and Brother Ye Fan a long and happy marriage, and many children."

"you--!"

Ye Fan was instantly enraged when he heard him call him "brother."

Just as he was about to get up, a cold glare from the man in black beside him forced him back, leaving him only able to grit his teeth and growl:

"Lin Fengmian, you spineless coward who only knows how to rely on women! If you've got the guts, fight me one-on-one!"

"Brother Ye," Lin Fengmian said with an unchanged smile.

"How dare you, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, say such things to me? Do you really think I'm as stupid as you?"

"Qingyi, look,"

Ye Fan turned to Chu Qingyi, his tone indignant.

"That Lin Fengmian is nothing but a good-for-nothing who hides behind a woman!"

Chu Qingyi stood frozen in place, a sharp pain shooting through her heart.

She should have been happy to hear Lin Fengmian's blessing.

Is marrying Ye Fan and having children really what she wants?

What made her feel even more wronged was...

Lin Fengmian was so intimate with her in bed yesterday, but today he is so cold and indifferent to her.

"Nangong Li! Don't be so smug! I have no regrets!"

"Lin Fengmian, you're a piece of trash! A coward! In my heart, you'll never be as good as Brother Ye Fan!"

She practically shouted it out, her voice echoing across the second floor of the restaurant, drawing the attention of several other customers at nearby tables.

She was startled as soon as she said it.

How could you say such hurtful things?

But the pain in her heart almost overwhelmed her; she was truly out of control.

Lin Fengmian's eyes darkened, and he was naturally very displeased.

"Lin Fengmian, if you're still a man, come to the Holy Land and fight me a year from now! If I don't break through to the Golden Core stage this year, I'll be waiting for you!"

Ye Fan also barked along with the dog.

Lin Fengmian remained silent.

Are you not going to break through? Or are you simply incapable of breaking through?

But he possesses the Holy Body and has already discovered its true purpose, so why would he be afraid?

Moreover, he already has a beautiful woman by his side.

If you want to win someone's heart, you should naturally be prepared to show your talents in front of others.

He suddenly released Nangong Li's hand and took a step closer to Chu Qingyi.

Chu Qingyi instinctively stepped back, her back hitting the window frame, with nowhere left to retreat.

Lin Fengmian leaned down and whispered in her ear,

He spoke slowly and in a low voice, in a tone only the two of them could hear:

"Chu Qingyi, you didn't say that when you were crying in my arms last night."

Chu Qingyi trembled, her face flushing crimson with shame and indignation.

"You...you shut up!"

"I'll say it anyway,"

Lin Fengmian advanced instead of retreating, his breath brushing against her ear.

"You were clinging to my neck, begging me to be gentler, saying you couldn't take it anymore... How come you've forgotten all that?"

"I didn't! You're lying!"

Chu Qingyi raised her hand to push him away, but Lin Fengmian gently grasped her wrist.

He looked down at her, his eyes deep, but his tone turned cold:

"Since you think I'm useless, then follow your brother Ye Fan closely."

A year from now, I will come to the Holy Land to find you, not to reminisce, but to let you see for yourself how the trash you speak of tramples your unattainable holy son underfoot.

Having said that, he released his grip.

She turned and walked back to Nangong Li's side, as if the oppressive feeling she had just experienced was just an illusion.

Ye Fan, who was listening nearby, was furious, especially after hearing Lin Fengmian's last sentence.

This is an utter trampling on the dignity of his holy son!

He stepped forward and said sternly:

"Lin Fengmian! I'll be waiting for you at the Holy Land Martial Arts Arena one year from now!"

If you don't come, you're a coward!

Then I will let the entire Xuan Tian Continent know that you are a useless coward who only dares to hide under women's skirts!

Lin Fengmian didn't turn his head, he just raised his hand and waved:

"Don't worry, I'll go. Just don't kneel down too quickly, it'll spoil the fun."

"You!" Ye Fan was so angry that he trembled all over.

Nangong Li smiled gently and took Lin Fengmian's arm:

"Let's go, my husband. It's not worth getting angry with someone like that. Let's go back."

"And they also want to see what kind of moves our Holy Maiden can't stand."

The two walked downstairs side by side, their purple robes and blue shirts complementing each other, their demeanor composed, like a perfect couple.

Chu Qingyi stood there, watching their figures disappear around the corner of the stairs.

Seeing this, Ye Fan spoke softly.

"Qingyi, this Lin Fengmian is nothing but a fickle and glib-tongued scoundrel!"

He was only nice to you before to use you for cultivation! Now that he's climbed up to Nangong Li, he's turned his back on you!

Seeing that Chu Qingyi ignored him, Ye Fan exclaimed "Ouch!" again.

"Qingyi, that Core Formation cultivator just injured me badly. I'm afraid I won't be able to return to the Holy Land today."

He blinked and put on a pitiful look.

"May I go to your cave and rest for a while?"
