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

Their lips met, fragrant and soft, with a hint of sweetness that was intoxicating.

Lin Fengmian felt a surge of heat throughout his body and couldn't help but stick out his tongue, wanting to go further—

"hiss--!"

He gasped sharply, opened his eyes, and looked at the woman in his arms with a pained expression.

"Are you born in the Year of the Dog?"

Su Zhenzhen loosened her teeth, looking at the faint tooth mark on his lips, her eyes full of smugness.

"This is considered interest."

She spoke softly, her voice gentle yet tinged with a hint of cunning:

"The rest depends on your performance."

Xiao Chen, standing to the side, had turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

He could no longer contain himself!

Do these two think I'm invisible?!

They were being all lovey-dovey in front of me, and...and even kissing?!

This is absolutely outrageous!

Moreover, the Kong family has said that they can kill Lin Fengmian directly!

The Kong family will negotiate with the Hehuan Sect!

With the power of the Kong family, the Hehuan Sect wouldn't dare say anything!

A surge of killing intent flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes.

In his eyes, Lin Fengmian was nothing but a good-for-nothing who only knew how to hide behind women!

Garbage from the Five Elemental Roots!

Just because Nangong Li and Su Zhenzhen are protecting them, do they dare to act arrogantly in front of me?

Today, he's going to show this good-for-nothing what it means to be arrogant and domineering!

"Lin Fengmian! Prepare to die!"

Xiao Chen roared, and a flash of spiritual light appeared in his hand, and a long sword with a cold light emanating from its entire body appeared out of thin air!

The sword was long and slender with a sharp blade. As soon as it appeared, it exuded a fierce and imposing aura!

It was a mid-grade spiritual weapon!

He exerted force with his feet, transforming into a streak of light, and thrust his long sword fiercely at Lin Fengmian!

The sword energy pierced the air, its sharpness unmatched!

He used all his strength in that sword strike!

He's at the late Foundation Establishment stage!

With this mid-grade spiritual weapon, even cultivators of the same level wouldn't dare to take it head-on!

Not to mention Lin Fengmian, that useless person who just established his foundation!

"Go to hell!"

He roared, his sword aimed straight for Lin Fengmian's throat!

Upon seeing this, Lin Fengmian let out a cold snort.

He released Su Zhenzhen from his embrace and gently pushed her aside, afraid that she would be affected.

Then--

He turned to face the approaching sword, neither dodging nor avoiding it.

He threw a punch right away!

The wind howled from the punch!

A visible shockwave suddenly exploded in the air!

This punch was delivered with no fancy techniques, just pure power!

His body refinement cultivation is comparable to that of a mid-Foundation Establishment stage cultivator!

In addition, there is spiritual power within his body that is comparable in quality to that of a Core Formation cultivator!

One punch, and everything is destroyed!

"Bang--!"

Fist and sword clashed with a deafening roar!

Xiao Chen felt an overwhelming force coming from the sword, so powerful that it was as if he had been hit head-on by an ancient beast!

The longsword in his hand was actually knocked out of his grasp by this punch!

"Click—"

With a sharp crack, his wrist was broken!

Immediately afterwards, the immense force, still strong, slammed into his chest!

"puff--!"

Xiao Chen spat out a mouthful of blood, and his whole body flew backward like a kite with a broken string!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

He crashed through several tables and chairs before finally slamming into a thick stone pillar!

"boom--!"

The entire stone pillar trembled violently, and cracks spread out from the point of impact!

Xiao Chen slid off the stone pillar and collapsed to the ground, his face as pale as paper, and blood from the corner of his mouth staining his clothes.

He raised his head and looked at Lin Fengmian, his eyes filled with disbelief.

How is that possible?!

Isn't he a useless person with five spiritual roots?!

How could someone possibly send themselves flying with a single punch?!

I am at the late Foundation Establishment stage!

Moreover, he also possesses a defensive magical artifact!

He... he couldn't even withstand a single punch?!

Xiao Chen felt his mind go blank, and he was completely stunned.

All around was deathly silent.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, looking at the scene in disbelief.

Xiao Chen, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, was actually sent flying by Lin Fengmian's single punch?!

Moreover... Lin Fengmian used his fists!

Even magical artifacts couldn't be used!

What... what kind of monster is this?!

Those male disciples who were just cursing Lin Fengmian as a "beast" and "animal" were now all gaping, unable to utter a single word.

The female disciples, on the other hand, looked at Lin Fengmian with shining eyes, their gazes filled with admiration and love.

"So...so strong..."

"He sent a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator flying with a single punch..."

"My God, Senior Brother Lin is amazing!"

Exclamations of surprise rose and fell.

Lin Fengmian seemed not to hear, but simply withdrew his fist and shook off non-existent dust from his hands.

He turned around, walked to Su Zhenzhen's side, reached out and put his arm around her waist, pulling her back into his embrace.

Then, he looked down at the slightly flushed face in his arms, a smile playing on his lips, his tone tinged with smugness:

"So, how about it? Aren't you impressed with your husband?"

Upon hearing this, Su Zhenzhen's pretty face flushed even more.

She glanced at Lin Fengmian, then quickly looked away, her cherry lips parted slightly, her voice as soft as a mosquito's hum:

"That's natural..."

"My husband... is truly amazing."

After saying this, her face turned so red it was almost bleeding. She buried her face in Lin Fengmian's chest, not daring to look at the people around her.

Hearing that "husband," Lin Fengmian felt a surge of comfort in his heart.

He raised his head and looked at Xiao Chen, who was slumped under the stone pillar, a cold glint in his eyes.

The Xiao family will certainly not let this matter rest.

And that empty house...

Since we've already offended them, we might as well go all the way.

He glanced down at Su Zhenzhen, who was too shy to look up in his arms, and secretly plotted in his mind.

The Xiao family patriarch and Xiao Sheng are currently in seclusion recuperating from their injuries and will definitely be unable to make a move in the short term.

Although the Xiao family had made contact with the Kong family, the Kong family was far away in Qingzhou, making it difficult for them to exert their influence.

This period is my opportunity.

He needs some more time to consolidate his early Foundation Establishment cultivation...

Let's go back to that palace and see its mysterious former owner...

Even if the entire Xiao family attacks, he will not be afraid!

Xiao Chen slid down from the stone pillar and collapsed to the ground, his face as pale as paper.

But his eyes were fixed on Lin Fengmian and Su Zhenzhen, filled with malice and resentment.

He gritted his teeth, leaned against the stone pillar, and slowly stood up, barely managing to suppress the surging blood in his chest.

"Lin Fengmian..."

He murmured softly, his voice hoarse:

"You...just you wait!"

"Wait for the Ancestor to emerge from seclusion... wait for my elder brother to recover from his injuries..."

"This is... your death day!"

However, Lin Fengmian didn't even glance at him.

He held Su Zhenzhen's slender waist, looked down at the little face in his arms that was so red it was almost bleeding, and felt a sense of comfort.

After all, to win a girl's heart, one must be determined to perform miracles in front of others.
