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

He paused, his tone filled with lewdness.

"Especially that little girl named Chu Qingyi, who is actually a Moon Spirit Body."

"After I inherit your body—"

He licked his lips, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

"I will definitely feel sorry for her day and night."

"Ha ha ha ha--!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Fengmian's eyes suddenly blazed with fury!

He can endure it.

She can endure the pain of losing Nangong Li.

He could tolerate this old man possessing his body.

But he couldn't stand it—

Someone is threatening the people around him!

"you--"

Lin Fengmian was about to speak—

suddenly.

A surge of spiritual energy, even colder and more piercing than before, suddenly erupted from the depths of the jade pendant!

That spiritual energy was much stronger and purer than the one used to suppress the medicinal power before!

It was like an invisible chain, instantly binding the old man's hazy, lingering soul tightly!

The old man's laughter stopped abruptly.

"Um?!"

He was taken aback at first, then a glint of greed flashed in his eyes.

"Oh? Not bad, there's actually such a soul?"

He licked his lips, trembling with excitement.

"Once I absorb this divine soul, I will be able to completely break the seal and restore my full power—"

He hadn't finished speaking.

A cold, emotionless female voice suddenly exploded in Lin Fengmian's mind!

"Noisy."

The voice was clear and cold, as if it came from the heavens, carrying an undeniable majesty.

Just two words.

But this caused the old man's remnant soul to tremble violently!

His eyes widened as he stared incredulously into the depths of his consciousness—

There, a hazy white figure was slowly emerging.

I couldn't see her face or figure clearly.

All you can see is a pair of eyes.

Those eyes were cold, indifferent, and aloof, as if looking down on an ant.

Under the gaze of these eyes, the old man's remnant soul began to tremble uncontrollably!

That feeling—

Like prey being targeted by its natural enemy.

They couldn't even muster the thought of resistance!

"Who...who are you?!"

The old man's voice was trembling; there was no trace of his previous arrogance and swagger.

The white figure did not answer.

She simply raised her hand and gently shook it.

The icy spiritual energy that had been clinging to the old man's remnant soul suddenly tightened!

"ah--!"

The old man let out a shrill scream, his remnant soul struggling violently, but he couldn't break free at all!

"No...impossible!"

"How could your soul be so powerful!"

"Who...who are you?!"

The white figure remained silent.

She simply turned her head slightly to look at Lin Fengmian.

Those icy eyes softened slightly when they looked at him.

But it was only for a moment.

next moment--

She looked away, her fingers suddenly clenching tightly!

"No--!"

The old man screamed in agony, and his hazy, remnant soul was instantly torn apart by the icy spiritual energy, turning into countless tiny specks of light.

Those points of light contained fragments of the old man's remnant soul, spiritual essence, and a portion of his cultivation from his previous life.

With a wave of her hand, Bai Ying absorbed all the light spots, like rivers flowing into the sea.

Calmness returned to his mind.

It was as if what had just happened had never occurred.

Lin Fengmian stood there, stunned, his mind blank.

After absorbing the old man's remnant soul, the white figure seemed to solidify a bit.

She glanced down at Lin Fengmian, a complex emotion flashing in her cold eyes.

I feel sorry for her.

There is a sense of helplessness.

There was also a hint of disappointment and frustration.

But in the end——

She didn't say anything.

The figure gradually disappeared, vanishing once more into the depths of the jade pendant.

Lin Fengmian sat blankly under the willow tree, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

He looked down at the warm, smooth jade pendant on his chest.

"Who...are you?"

No one answered.

Only the little earth spirit timidly peeked out from the corner, cautiously watching him.

"Master...Master...Are you alright?"

Lin Fengmian took a deep breath and shook his head.

"fine."

He closed his eyes and leaned against the willow tree.

The image of that white figure's eyes lingered in my mind for a long time.

That look...

Why does it feel so familiar?

I feel like I've seen this somewhere before.

It seems like...

I've never seen it before.

Lin Fengmian was filled with mixed emotions.

Nangong Li left.

Chu Qingyi appeared in front of him again.

The remnant soul hidden within the old monster was destroyed.

The mysterious presence within the jade pendant seems to be becoming increasingly active.

All of this happened too fast.

It happened so fast that he didn't have time to process it.

He opened his eyes and looked at the gray sky above him.

Li'er—

You wait for me.

No matter how difficult the road ahead may be.

Regardless of whether what the old man said was true or not.

I will find you.

Even if—

We must break through this sky.

The remnant soul that had been suppressing Lin Fengmian immediately began to weaken, and eventually completely disappeared.

Lin Fengmian felt the immense pressure that had been pressing down on his mind recede like a tide, and his body felt lighter, almost causing him to collapse to the ground.

He was panting heavily, cold sweat pouring down his forehead, and his clothes on the back were already soaked with sweat.

The oppressive feeling emanating from Li Bao's remnant soul, though far less intense than in his prime, was still beyond what a newly established Foundation Establishment cultivator like him could withstand.

If it weren't for that icy spiritual energy intervening at the crucial moment—

The consequences could be disastrous.

Lin Fengmian raised his head and looked at the majestic palace shrouded in mist deep within the jade pendant, a feeling of indescribable gratitude welling up in his heart.

This wasn't the first time that mysterious being had saved him.

From the moment he went into a state of demonic possession after consuming the Bodhi Jade Date, the spiritual energy that protected his heart meridian;

Just now, when Li Bao's remnant soul attempted to possess someone, that icy power that instantly subdued him—

Every time, it was she who made the crucial move.

Each time, it pulled him back from the brink of death.

"Thank you, senior."

Lin Fengmian stood up and bowed deeply in the direction of the palace.

No one responded.

Only the little earth spirit peeked out from behind the willow tree, blinked its big eyes at him, glanced in the direction of the palace, and hesitated to speak.

Lin Fengmian knew that with his current cultivation level, he didn't even have the qualifications to step into that palace.

He had tried many times before, but each time he was blocked by an invisible force halfway through.

That mysterious being said that once he had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he could go to find...

They were now qualified to enter that palace.

But now is not the time.

Lin Fengmian withdrew his gaze and looked at the remnant soul in front of him, which had been tortured to the point of extreme weakness.

Li Bao's remnant soul was now so dim it was almost transparent, and his once solid form had become blurry, as if a gust of wind could blow it away.

That icy spiritual energy not only suppressed him, but also absorbed most of the original power in his remnant soul.

At this moment, Li Bao is less than one-tenth of his peak strength and no longer poses any threat to Lin Fengmian.

Lin Fengmian's lips curled up slightly, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
