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

Faced with such a stunning beauty as Nangong Li, coupled with her striking outfit, any normal man would find it difficult to resist.

"Is it pretty?"

Nangong Li turned around, meeting his gaze openly and gracefully, her voice soft and sweet.

"Beautiful." Lin Fengmian didn't hold back his praise, his gaze lingering on her.

"Senior sister, you look absolutely stunning today. Especially..." He paused, his gaze lingering on her legs, his smile deepening.

"It was the perfect finishing touch, and it made me almost lose control."

Hearing his straightforward and enthusiastic praise, Nangong Li felt a great sense of vanity, a trait that belonged to a woman.

She moved closer with graceful steps, bringing with her a faint, cool fragrance. She tilted her head back, her beautiful eyes sparkling.

"Am I prettier, or is Chu Qingyi prettier?"

Lin Fengmian's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.

Indeed, in any world, women's competitive spirit is an eternal theme.

However, this little test was nothing to him, the former Sea King.

His expression was natural, his gaze fixed intently on Nangong Li's eyes, and his tone was sincere.

"Why compare yourself to her, Senior Sister? Chu Qingyi is indeed extremely beautiful. But you, Senior Sister..."

"Yet she is mysterious and noble, alluring to the bone."

Especially now, this outfit perfectly showcases my senior sister's charm, making me wish I could... immediately pull her into my arms and admire her closely.

Nangong Li was indeed amused by his remarks, and his smile deepened.

Her eyes were brimming with tears, as if they were rippling with spring water.

She stretched out her finger and gently tapped Lin Fengmian's chest:

"My husband's words are as sweet as honey. Since you're so eloquent... I, your senior sister, must reward you handsomely."

Lin Fengmian's Adam's apple bobbed violently, and he felt a surge of hot blood rush to the top of his head.

This woman is simply the most enchanting of all!

With the added advantage of this uniform, he had a premonition that tonight would be a fierce battle!

"Then what are we waiting for?"

He chuckled softly, no longer able to restrain himself, and stepped forward to scoop up the alluring body before him.

They were preparing to go straight back to their room and "execute him on the spot."

"Hey! What are you doing! Put me down right now!"

Nangong Li gasped softly, her delicate hand pressing against his chest, and said coquettishly,

"Not today...not today!"

Lin Fengmian paused, then reluctantly put her down.

The flame of hope in his heart was forcibly suppressed, leaving him somewhat resentful.

"Senior sister, are you flirting with me again?"

This unpredictable and elusive approach is truly baffling.

If she hadn't been so kind to me and had such a beautiful body, I would have run away long ago.

Nangong Li straightened his slightly disheveled clothes and hair.

Her face was still flushed, but she smiled like a cunning little fox:

"Who flirted with you? It's just that you lack self-control." She blinked.

"It was supposed to be a reward, it doesn't have to be that kind of thing..."

But then, Nangong Li took out an exquisite jade box from his storage bag and handed it to Lin Fengmian.

"Hmm, your reward."

"What is this?"

Lin Fengmian asked in surprise, and took the jade box.

He gently lifted the lid of the box and was immediately stunned.

Inside, several side dishes were neatly arranged, along with a bowl of spirit rice.

However, the food... was really not appealing.

The vegetables were stir-fried until they turned black, the meat was burnt, and even the edges of the rice were browned.

"They know you haven't started your fasting period yet, so they made this especially for you. Try it!"

Nangong Li put his hands behind his back and leaned forward slightly.

Her beautiful eyes sparkled with anticipation, and her usually aloof face now revealed a hint of girlish joy.

Seeing her unusual expression, Lin Fengmian's heart softened, and he couldn't bring himself to refuse.

He picked up the jade chopsticks, took a piece of spiritual meat that looked barely edible, and put it in his mouth—

"..."

The next moment, Lin Fengmian froze.

Salty, bitter, burnt... a variety of strange flavors exploded on the tip of the tongue.

It aggressively assaulted his taste buds.

He could even clearly feel the piece of meat struggling in his throat, refusing to go down!

He felt completely terrible!

"Senior sister, actually I can just take the fasting pill."

Lin Fengmian took a deep breath and said

"I made this myself, so you must eat it."

The gentleness on Nangong Li's face vanished instantly, replaced by his usual cold and dignified demeanor.

Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, her tone carrying an unquestionable command.

Lin Fengmian didn't waste any words. With a thought, the vast and pure Yang energy of the Pure Yang Holy Body was released!

The intense heat, like the blazing sun, instantly enveloped Nangong Li.

"Well……"

Nangong Li cultivated a Yin-type martial art, making him almost powerless against this extremely Yang energy.

The moment her breath touched her, her whole body went limp.

Her beautiful eyes instantly became glazed over, her cheeks flushed, and her breathing became rapid and involuntary.

"I-I really can't... Husband... I know I was wrong, really... I have important business to attend to..."

Her voice trembled, and she was panting.

She reached out to push Lin Fengmian away, but couldn't muster any strength.

Seeing that her expression was genuine and that she truly had something important to do, Lin Fengmian slowly withdrew his pure yang energy.

Nangong Li collapsed into his arms, panting for a while before the tears in her eyes gradually faded.

She looked up, gave him a charmingly disdainful look, and lightly punched him in the chest.

"Hmph... I have some things to take care of in a bit, and you'll come with me. If you can help me with this, I'll agree to let you 'assist me in my cultivation' tonight."

"Huh? Really?" Lin Fengmian's eyes lit up.

"Then I'll only have one request."

"What are your requirements?"

"You must wear this."

Lin Fengmian's gaze swept intently over her dark palace attire, especially her long, slender legs wrapped in black silk.

Upon hearing this, the blush that had just faded from Nangong Li's face returned, even her ears turned crimson:

"You...you...let's see if you can manage it!"

"Senior sister, what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

Lin Fengmian smiled and put his arm around her waist.

……

Flying on a sword.

The flying sword pierced the air, accompanied by a fierce gale.

Lin Fengmian stood behind Nangong Li, naturally wrapping his arms around her waist, ostensibly to "prevent her from falling."

One hand, however, slid restlessly down her waistline.

Her fingertips lightly caressed the thin silk fabric.

"Senior sister, your socks... are of pretty good quality."

He gave a serious evaluation, while his hands delicately felt the smooth, matte texture.

Nangong Li's cheeks flushed, and he turned his head away, letting out a soft spit:

"You scoundrel... don't move! Don't disturb me while I'm wielding my sword!"

Even so, she did not actually stop him, but simply let him "inspect".

Lin Fengmian chuckled inwardly, having thoroughly enjoyed himself, and was even more eager for tonight's "fierce battle."

Before long, the flying sword slowly descended and stopped at Flowing Cloud Immortal City, which Lin Fengmian had visited a few days earlier.

"Senior sister, why did you bring me here?" Lin Fengmian asked curiously after the two disembarked from their flying swords.
