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

What exactly is this woman's cultivation level?!

The killing intent in their eyes was so intense that even these two Core Formation cultivators felt their hearts tremble!

It was as if if they dared to move even slightly, their heads would roll on the ground the next moment!

A storm raged within them.

They are all powerful cultivators who have reached the Core Formation stage; they would be regional overlords anywhere in the Zhao Kingdom.

But at this moment, in front of a woman in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, they didn't even dare to move!

If this gets out, who will believe it?

But that's just how it is!

Although the woman's aura was only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, the ancient pressure emanating from her made them tremble from the bottom of their hearts!

It was as if what stood before them was not a person, but an ancient ferocious beast!

The two swallowed hard, swallowing back the words that were about to come out.

They dared not move.

I really don't dare to move.

……

At this moment, Nangong Li had already turned around and slowly walked towards Lin Fengmian.

Those beautiful eyes, which were brimming with golden flames, instantly turned into heartache and worry when they saw the trace of blood at the corner of Lin Fengmian's mouth.

She walked quickly to Lin Fengmian's side, reached out, and gently supported his arm.

Her exquisitely beautiful face was filled with worry; there was no trace of the murderous intent and majesty she had displayed just moments before.

"Husband, how are you? Are you alright?"

Her voice was soft, trembling slightly, and her eyes were slightly red.

"It's all my fault for being late...and you got hurt..."

As she spoke, she reached out and carefully wiped the blood from the corner of Lin Fengmian's mouth.

The movement was so gentle, as if touching a fragile treasure.

Lin Fengmian did not answer the other party's question.

He just stared blankly at the woman in front of him, his heart filled with shock.

That scene just now is still vivid in my mind—

Three palm strikes! Just three palm strikes!

He blasted a half-step Core Formation Saint Son, along with his clan's defensive techniques, into a cripple!

And that speed, that power, that killing intent...

This is something that a Foundation Establishment cultivator should not possess!

Lin Fengmian looked again at Xiao Sheng, who was lying unconscious in the distance, and was deeply shocked.

Although Xiao Sheng's character is questionable, his strength is indeed not to be underestimated.

With his half-step Core Formation cultivation and the Xiao family's clan-protecting technique, even if he gave it his all, he might not be able to win.

But in front of Nangong Li...

He couldn't even withstand a single move!

This……

"Li'er, what... what's wrong with you?"

Lin Fengmian finally spoke, his voice filled with disbelief:

"You...how did you suddenly become so amazing?"

Normally, although he knew that Nangong Li was quite strong, he was only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

Even when she protects herself, it's mostly through the power of her family or the protection of a Core Formation cultivator.

This was the first time he had ever seen the other party attack like this.

So ruthless, so resolute, so... terrifying!

Upon hearing this, Nangong Li merely gave a soft hum.

She raised her head and looked at Lin Fengmian. The golden flames in her beautiful eyes had gradually faded, and they had returned to their former clarity.

"Hmph, who told him to hurt your husband?"

Her voice carried a hint of stubbornness and a touch of heartache:

"I just can't stand it!"

She paused, then added softly:

"Who told him to dare touch my people..."

As she finished speaking, her voice grew softer and softer, and her ears turned a quiet red.

Lin Fengmian felt a sudden tremor in his heart when he saw her hypocritical expression.

This woman...

Although she is usually aloof and arrogant, with a deep mind, she always keeps herself tightly wrapped up.

But when it really matters, she never hesitates.

For her own sake, she could unleash the seal within her body without hesitation, unleashing power far exceeding her own limits.

For her own sake, she was willing to disregard the consequences and publicly beat up the Holy Son of the Heavenly Profound Holy Land.

For her own sake, she could...

Lin Fengmian took a deep breath, a warm feeling welling up in his heart.

He reached out and pulled her into his arms.

"Li'er... thank you."

Nangong Li's body stiffened slightly, then she leaned against him and wrapped her arms around his waist.

"Fool."

Her voice was muffled, with a slight nasal tone:

"I am your wife. Protecting you is my duty."

She paused, then added softly:

"From now on... if anyone bullies you, tell me. I'll teach them a lesson for you."

Lin Fengmian chuckled and reached out to ruffle her hair:

"it is good."

……

Watching this scene, Xiao Xiyue felt a complex mix of emotions welling up inside her.

There was a bittersweet feeling, a touch of envy, and a bit of... indescribable emotion.

Especially after seeing the terrifying strength that Nangong Li had just displayed, she felt a sense of inferiority.

So... Li'er is this strong.

It turns out... I was the weakest one.

She bit her lip, lowered her eyelids, and silently vowed to herself—

From now on, I will definitely work hard in my cultivation!

Otherwise, what kind of woman is she if she can't even protect her own husband?

She raised her head and looked at Lin Fengmian.

The figure in the green robe remained as upright as a pine tree, a faint smile playing on his lips.

The sunlight shone on him, giving him a golden halo.

Xiao Xiyue was somewhat lost in thought.

This man... I couldn't take my eyes off him from the first time I saw him.

Although at first I thought he was a lecherous scoundrel and a useless vessel.

The more you get to know him, the more you discover his extraordinary qualities.

The more I got involved, the more I realized I was already deeply immersed in it and couldn't extricate myself.

Xiao Xiyue took a deep breath, stepped forward, and stood next to Lin Fengmian.

She didn't speak, she just stood there quietly.

But those beautiful eyes were filled with determination—

From now on, she will become stronger.

Strong enough to protect him.

……

Looking at these women who were so worried about him, Lin Fengmian felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

Chu Qingyi, Nangong Li, Xiao Xiyue, Yun Caiyue...

Everyone treated him with their whole heart.

Everyone was willing to risk their lives for him.

It seems my top-quality Neptune is doing quite well.

A smile played on his lips as he pulled the two women into his arms and gently patted their backs.

"Okay, okay, I'm fine."

"Don't worry."

The two women leaned against him, neither of them speaking.

At this moment, all words are superfluous.

……

At that moment, Xiao Sheng, who was in the distance, slowly woke up.

He lay on the ground, writhing in pain, blood still seeping from the wound on his chest.

He struggled to lift his head and look in Lin Fengmian's direction—

Then, he saw a scene that made him furious.

Lin Fengmian was embracing two women, one arm around Nangong Li and the other around Xiao Xiyue.

Two stunningly beautiful women nestled obediently in his arms, their faces full of tenderness.

And what about himself?

He lay on the ground like a dead dog, covered in wounds and looking utterly wretched.

A surge of overwhelming anger rose in Xiao Sheng's heart!

He stared intently at Lin Fengmian, his eyes filled with murderous intent!

"Lin! Feng! Mian!"

He gritted his teeth, his voice sounding as if squeezed out from between his teeth.
