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

And... being held by him doesn't feel so bad...

Su Zhenzhen was half asleep when, as if possessed, she didn't push him away. Instead, she obediently leaned into his arms.

Lin Fengmian felt a slight flutter in his heart as he felt the soft, delicate body in his arms.

This girl has a really great figure.

It has curves in all the right places, and when you hold it in your arms, it's soft, warm, and fragrant—it feels amazing.

But he quickly regained his composure, raised his head, and addressed the figure that had already walked several feet away, saying loudly:

"Xiao Huohuo, watch closely!"

The sound wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

Xiao Huohuo paused, then subconsciously turned around.

Then, he saw a scene that made his eyes widen in horror—

The woman he had longed for day and night and had pursued relentlessly for months was now being held in that man's arms!

She didn't struggle!

She didn't struggle at all!

Instead, she nestled obediently in his arms, her little face flushed, like a docile kitten!

Xiao Huohuo felt a rush of heat to his head, his vision went black, and he almost fainted on the spot!

"Junior Sister Su Zhenzhen actually admires me!"

Lin Fengmian's voice was like a poisoned knife, stabbing his heart again and again:

"You have no chance! Get out of here!"

Xiao Huohuo stared intently at the two figures embracing each other, his eyes instantly becoming bloodshot and turning red!

That look in his eyes was like that of a wounded wild beast—mad, angry, and resentful!

"You little brat! You're asking for it—!"

He roared furiously, his voice distorted, and he was like a madman, with lightning raging around him, and the bluestone ground beneath his feet was shaken and shattered inch by inch!

"Lin Fengmian!"

He spoke slowly and deliberately, through gritted teeth, each word seeming to be squeezed out from between his teeth:

"Don't say I didn't give you a chance! Three months! After three months, I'll fight you to the death!"

He stared intently at Lin Fengmian, the killing intent in his eyes almost tangible:

"If you're a man, come and duel with me! If you're too scared—"

He sneered, his voice full of sarcasm:

"Then he's not a man! Get away from Junior Sister Zhenzhen! Stop embarrassing yourself here!"

Lin Fengmian chuckled inwardly.

I was tricked after all.

He showed no sign of it on his face, instead pulling Su Zhenzhen even tighter in his arms, his chin slightly raised, his eyes full of disdain:

"OK."

His voice was calm, yet carried an air of arrogant arrogance:

"Three months from now, on the battlefield, I will take your dog's life!"

Su Zhenzhen was held in his arms, her nose filled with that pleasant scent.

She was secretly sniffing, her face slightly flushed, her heart pounding.

Upon hearing this, she was taken aback.

Her beautiful eyes widened slightly as she looked up at Lin Fengmian, her face full of worry.

"Senior brother, you..."

She bit her lip, her voice soft but clearly urgent:

"The other party has already reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment! You did this for me..."

Lin Fengmian lowered his head and looked at the pure and delicate little face in his arms.

Those clear eyes were filled with worry and self-blame.

His heart softened slightly, but his expression changed to one of deep affection, his voice so gentle it could melt hearts:

"Junior Sister Zhenzhen."

He paused, his gaze sincere:

"I fell in love with you at first sight. For you, I'm willing to brave any danger, even a life-or-death battle three months from now."

Su Zhenzhen was stunned.

She looked into those eyes so close to hers, eyes brimming with sincerity and deep affection.

From childhood to adulthood, she has had many suitors and even more people who have said sweet words to her.

But she found those people's words hypocritical and disgusting.

Only the person in front of me—

Even though she knew the other person was acting, a warm feeling still welled up inside her, sweet and comforting, like she had eaten honey.

"Senior...Senior Brother..."

She murmured to herself, her face flushed, her heart pounding like a drum.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Huohuo felt as if he had been stabbed in the chest!

The woman he longed for but could never have was now leaning shyly in another man's arms!

And that man was even saying sweet nothings to his face!

"Good! Good! Good!"

He said "good" three times in a row, each word sounding like it was squeezed out of his throat, carrying a strong killing intent!

"Lin Fengmian, three months from now, on the battlefield of life and death, I will tear you to pieces!"

He took a deep breath, staring intently at the figure in the blue robe, and spoke slowly and deliberately:

If you don't come—

He paused, a cruel smile curling at the corner of his lips:

"You are my grandson!"

Having said that, he abruptly flicked his sleeve, turned around, and left.

With a flash of lightning, he transformed into a streak of purple light and vanished into the distance without looking back.

That figure looked utterly disheveled, completely devoid of the arrogance it had displayed moments before.

Once the figure had completely disappeared, the deep affection on Lin Fengmian's face vanished instantly.

He glanced down at Su Zhenzhen in his arms—

The girl was still leaning against him, her face slightly flushed, looking completely infatuated.

Without any hesitation, he pushed the person out of his arms.

Su Zhenzhen stumbled a couple of steps after being pushed, and only then did she come to her senses. She looked up and met Lin Fengmian's expressionless face.

"Your name is Su Zhenzhen, right?"

Lin Fengmian's voice was as cold as a stranger's:

"You'd better explain to me what's going on."

Su Zhenzhen blinked, looking at his aloof demeanor and then at her empty embrace, feeling a strange sense of loss.

But more than anything, it was a guilty conscience.

She lowered her head, her face slightly flushed, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her skirt, like a child who had done something wrong.

"I'm sorry, senior brother..."

Her voice was soft and gentle, with a hint of grievance:

"You might be being watched by a tiny bit of people right now."

"A tiny bit?"

Lin Fengmian's lips twitched.

Su Zhenzhen quickly raised her head and added:

"But don't worry, senior brother! Apart from Xiao Huohuo, the others... are probably not as extreme as him."

As she spoke, her voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.

"perhaps?"

Lin Fengmian's lips twitched even more violently.

He took a deep breath and looked down at the little girl in front of him, who was bowing her head and clutching the hem of her skirt.

That face was as pure as an angel's, making it impossible to feel the slightest bit angry.

Her figure was so hot it was like a devil's, making it impossible to look away.

It just so happens to grow on one person—

No wonder she has so many suitors.

No wonder Xiao Huohuo is so extreme.

Who wouldn't want to possess such a rare beauty?

The three Xiong brothers standing to the side were also dumbfounded.

Xiong Da stared wide-eyed for a long time before finally coming to his senses, muttering under his breath:

"Big brother... is he being used as a shield?"

Xiong Er scratched his head: "It seems so."

Xiong San swallowed hard: "And it seems there's more than one..."

The three brothers exchanged a glance and simultaneously gasped.

Goodness gracious, big brother's in deep trouble!

Lin Fengmian took a deep breath, looked at Su Zhenzhen, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips:

"So, you've gotten me into this huge trouble—"

He paused, his gaze moving down from her small face, sweeping over her slender waist, over her breathtaking curves, and finally returning to her innocent face:

"Just one casual remark, and that's it?"
