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

That aura swept towards Lin Fengmian like a tidal wave!

Lin Fengmian felt a powerful force rush towards him, and he was shaken back several steps before he released his grip.

Su Zhenzhen quickly got off her lap, covered her burning bottom, and took several steps back to distance herself from Lin Fengmian.

Her clothes were crumpled and disheveled, the hem of her skirt was wrinkled into a ball, and the front of her dress was slightly open, revealing a patch of snow-white skin underneath.

Her delicate, doll-like face was flushed, and her eyes were slightly red, showing both embarrassment and a mix of other emotions that were hard to define.

She frantically straightened her clothes, her fingers trembling.

Lin Fengmian steadied himself and, seeing the aura of the other party's Core Formation stage cultivation, was startled. He then spoke with some anger:

"You cunning Su Zhenzhen, you were just playing dumb to fool everyone!"

Su Zhenzhen let out a soft snort from her delicate nose, slightly raising her chin, trying to appear more assertive:

"Hmph, you can be proud of yourself for letting me reveal my true cultivation level!"

"Are you scared now?"

She thought Lin Fengmian would be intimidated by her cultivation level.

But the next moment—

Lin Fengmian lunged forward in one swift motion!

Before Su Zhenzhen could react, she was completely restrained.

"you--!"

She stared wide-eyed, trying to struggle, but found that Lin Fengmian's strength was astonishing.

Those strong arms held her firmly beneath them, rendering her unable to move.

Lin Fengmian looked down at her, a wicked smile playing on his lips:

"Of course I'll do what I'm supposed to do! You're always causing me trouble, can't I get some benefits in return?"

Lin Fengmian spoke to the other party with a mischievous grin, his face displaying an expression of utter certainty, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Su Zhenzhen was truly panicked.

She could tell that Lin Fengmian wasn't joking.

His eyes, his tone of voice, his movements...

They were all serious.

"don't want!"

She spoke quickly, her voice trembling:

"Lin Fengmian, you'll get yourself killed doing this!"

"If you really did that with me..."

"Our Su family will not let you get away with this!"

"And...and the Kong family won't let you off the hook either!"

Her voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fengmian became even angrier.

He moved closer, leaning down to press his lips against her ear, his voice low and dangerous:

"Okay, Miss Su."

"I just helped you deal with the sycophants from the Xiao family, which forced me to hide in my cave and not dare to go out."

"Now you're saying that some Kong family is plotting against me?"

"Even your Su family wants to harm me?"

"Just how much trouble have you, Su Zhenzhen, caused me?"

"ah--!"

Su Zhenzhen's delicate body trembled violently, and she let out a scream.

The tingling sensation made her freeze.

A few glistening tears quickly welled up in the corners of her eyes.

"Lin Fengmian...you bastard..."

She sobbed, her voice broken and intermittent:

"Waaaaah... Waaaaah..."

Lin Fengmian pursed his lips, but he had to admit that the feel of it was indeed quite good.

Lin Fengmian took a deep breath, suppressing the agitation in his heart, and looked down at Su Zhenzhen, whose eyes were brimming with tears, a wicked smile curling at the corner of his lips:

"Cry, keep crying."

The more you cry, the more excited I get.

Upon hearing this, Su Zhenzhen was startled and quickly stopped crying.

She was terrified that Lin Fengmian would do something even more outrageous.

That bastard, as I just said, the louder she screams, the more excited he gets.

The louder they cry, the worse it will be...

Su Zhenzhen bit her lip, forcing herself not to cry, and looked at Lin Fengmian with her big, watery eyes, her voice pleading:

"Lin Fengmian...it was my fault..."

"I shouldn't have done that..."

"Please...please let me go first?"

Her voice was soft and sweet, with a hint of sobbing, making her sound pitiful.

Lin Fengmian looked at Su Zhenzhen, who had just been arrogant and domineering, now pleading softly beneath him, and felt a sense of satisfaction rise in his heart.

That sense of conquest is even more exhilarating than defeating a powerful enemy.

He liked this feeling.

He enjoys watching a proud and arrogant woman bow her head before him.

I like looking into those proud eyes, then feeling embarrassed and aggrieved.

Lin Fengmian was secretly pleased with himself, but remained outwardly calm.

He slowly straightened up, but didn't completely release her; he simply looked down at her, his voice indifferent:

"Miss Su, there's no such thing as a free breakfast."

"You used me as a shield, and I almost died at the hands of the Xiao family."

"This isn't something you can repay with a simple 'sorry'."

Su Zhenzhen was both angry and anxious, but there was nothing she could do.

She knew Lin Fengmian was right; she had indeed taken advantage of him and caused him a lot of trouble.

"So... what do you want?"

She bit her lip, her voice tinged with grievance.

Lin Fengmian looked at her and slowly spoke:

"How about we go to the sect's registration office now and renounce our status as Daoist partners in front of everyone?"

"but……"

He paused, a smile playing at the corners of his lips:

"Guess who else, besides me, would be willing to be this shield?"

"Who would want to cause so much trouble for you, Miss Su?"

Upon hearing this, Su Zhenzhen's heart sank.

She knew Lin Fengmian was right.

Although she had many suitors, most of them were attracted by the Su family's power or her appearance.

Those who are truly willing to shield her from harm and take on trouble for her...

Aside from Lin Fengmian, it's probably impossible to find another like him.

Moreover, among those fervent pursuers, there are some who are quite shameless.

She had already heard that several young masters from various families had begun making secret contacts, intending to use some shady methods...

Thinking about this, Su Zhenzhen felt even more troubled.

She bit her lip, looked at Lin Fengmian, and her eyes held a complex expression.

"Okay... I was really wrong..."

She finally gave in, her voice very soft, as if she were talking to herself:

"At worst, I'll tell you everything that comes up in the future..."

"I won't take advantage of you anymore..."

"Please...please don't be angry anymore..."

The last few words were spoken so softly they were almost inaudible.

Lin Fengmian nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this.
