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

"boom--!"

A mysterious and profound feeling instantly welled up in my heart!

The feeling was indescribable, as if a pair of eyes were watching me from the shadows.

It was as if the whole world was opening its arms to me!

The spiritual energy within his dantian suddenly surged!

It surged wildly through the meridians, crashing against the already loosened barrier!

The secret!

This is the opportunity to build a foundation!

Lin Fengmian was overjoyed, but then his face showed a troubled expression.

Wouldn't making a breakthrough through external means cause too much of a stir?

Although his current location is secluded, it is not absolutely safe.

When one is establishing their foundation, spiritual energy flows into their body, creating a powerful and imposing presence that easily attracts nearby cultivators or demonic beasts.

There is no way to sense the secrets of heaven there.

Lin Fengmian gritted his teeth, caught in a dilemma.

……

at the same time.

Within the celestial city.

The bustling streets were teeming with people, creating a lively atmosphere.

A white figure moved through the crowd with light steps, yet with an air of aloofness that kept people at a distance.

It was a woman.

She wore a moon-white long dress, the fabric of which was light and thin, swaying gently with her steps, outlining her exquisite figure.

She wore a veil, obscuring her face, but her exposed eyes were clear and cold, like a fairy from the heavens, untouched by the mortal world.

What's even more eye-catching is the gleaming curve of her chest—

With each alternation of her long, slender legs, her private parts swayed and undulated, attracting frequent glances from passersby.

"Bang."

Some people were so stunned by what they saw that they bumped their heads into a pillar by the roadside.

"Ouch!"

"hiss--!"

For a time, chaos erupted, with chickens flying and dogs barking, creating quite a commotion.

Xiao Xiyue secretly spat under her veil.

These lecherous scoundrels!

She never had a good impression of men to begin with. After being treated that way by Lin Fengmian a few days ago, she felt even more disgusted with them.

She quickened her pace and soon arrived at her destination.

A quiet and elegant courtyard with a plaque bearing the words "Liu Mansion" hanging in front of the gate.

"Xi Yue? How could you bear to come see me!"

Inside the room, Liu Yayin was overjoyed to see her best friend arrive and went to greet her.

Xiao Xiyue didn't speak, but just sighed softly.

She walked straight to the bedside and, under Liu Yayin's questioning gaze, took off her moon-white embroidered shoes.

A pair of small, delicate feet encased in pale white stockings were revealed, with a faint pink hue peeking through the stockings.

Then, she curled up on the bed, pulled the blanket up, and wrapped herself up like a ball.

Seeing her usually aloof and reserved best friend reveal such a girlish side, Liu Yayin couldn't help but chuckle.

"Hehe, who upset our little Xiyue again?"

She also took off her shoes and socks, climbed onto the bed, and hugged that "ball".

Xiao Xiyue stayed under the covers for a while before finally poking her head out, revealing a pitiful look in her eyes.

"Ya Yin..." she whispered, "Has your family arranged a marriage for you?"

Liu Yayin gave a light snort, her tone carrying a hint of arrogance:

"I don't need a man. I can walk the path to immortality on my own, why should I rely on a man?"

Xiao Xiyue nodded, then sighed:

"I really envy you. You don't have to go through an arranged marriage, unlike me... I was sent to the Joyful Union Sect from a young age and cultivated techniques that combine Yin and Yang. Although I can build my foundation and form my core on my own, my family still wants me to find a Daoist partner to quickly form my core and help the family share the burden."

She paused, her eyes somewhat unfocused:

"But in this world, how easy is it to find a soulmate who understands you on the path..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yayin's face showed a thoughtful expression, and then she said:

"Xi Yue, but I heard that your family found you a disciple from the Heavenly Sword Sect? I heard he's quite good, becoming a personal disciple at such a young age."

"That's the Heavenly Sword Sect, the number one sect in the Zhao Kingdom. Below them are our Joyful Union Sect and the other three major sects. To become a personal disciple is indeed quite an achievement."

Xiao Xiyue nodded.

It must be admitted that the other party is indeed very talented.

Before meeting that person, she might have thought it was a good marriage.

But now...

She didn't know why, but the thought of that name made her inexplicably irritable.

She pressed her face against Liu Yayin's proud breasts and rubbed against them like a child.

"Hey! What are you doing!" Liu Yayin pushed her away, her face flushed.

Xiao Xiyue refused to look up, her muffled voice echoing from the mountain peaks:

"Ya Yin, I have a question for you."

"Just ask, don't act like a child..."

"So... do you think he'll mind that I'm not a virgin?"

"what?"

Liu Yayin exclaimed in great confusion, then pushed Xiao Xiyue away from her chest and stared at her with wide eyes.

"You're not kidding me, are you? What's wrong with you?"

Now that things have come to this, Xiao Xiyue knows she can't hide it any longer.

Biting her lip, she recounted in detail how she encountered the fake Core cultivator's ambush on her way back to the sect, was poisoned by the aphrodisiac, and then met Lin Fengmian.

Liu Yayin was stunned after hearing this.

She made a circle with both hands, then slipped the fingers of her other hand through it, looking at Xiao Xiyue with a strange expression:

"You mean...you and that Lin Fengmian...did that?"

Xiao Xiyue slapped her hand away in annoyance.

But the teasing look on Liu Yayin's face quickly disappeared, replaced by deep sorrow!

"How could Lin Fengmian be such a bastard!"

"Xi Yue, you're like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiyue felt even more distressed than before.

She wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.

That person... although he acted recklessly and unrestrainedly, his original intention was to save himself.

Moreover, after cultivating with him, the bottleneck in my cultivation technique that had been troubling me was actually broken through by him!

What she was even more ashamed to talk about was—

She had to admit that she was actually somewhat attracted to good-looking people.

That person is indeed very handsome.

With sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, and a high nose bridge, his smile carries a hint of cynicism, yet it also makes him seem genuine.

He also had a very pleasant scent that I couldn't forget after smelling it once.

Even... even a little obsessed.

So much so that even though she cursed at the clothes that were torn that day, she couldn't bear to throw them away.

The only downside is...

After practicing dual cultivation with her, he felt a burning, tingling, and numb sensation in his lower body, which made her uncomfortable for several days.

Damn!

What am I thinking?

Xiao Xiyue suddenly came to her senses, and her face instantly turned red.

Isn't he the lecherous man I've always hated? How could I... how could I possibly want to meet him?

Liu Yayin, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed at her appearance, as if she had seen a ghost.

"Xi Yue! Why is your face so red! You wouldn't... like they say in those books, have you fallen for that lecherous scoundrel who took advantage of you?!"
