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

With nothing else to do, Lin Fengmian pulled Nangong Li, who was still sulking, along for a stroll in Yun Caiyue's quiet little courtyard.

The pavilions and waterside terraces, with their fragrant plants, offer a unique and elegant charm.

"Let me familiarize myself with the environment first, just in case... I need to come here often in the future?" Lin Fengmian thought to himself.

What if!

The two walked hand in hand, like an ordinary couple.

Nangong Li was a little awkward at first, but as he walked,

Feeling the warmth from her palm, and looking at the handsome profile of the man beside her,

The bitterness and anger in my heart dissipated most of it without me even realizing it.

She suddenly spoke, her voice calmer:

"My husband, if you really like Yun Caiyue... I won't stop you."

"However," she added, her tone shifting with a hint of warning,

"Yun Caiyue has many suitors, including those with powerful backgrounds and exceptional talent. The most troublesome one is..."

He is Wang Teng, the young master of the Wang family, the head of the eight major cultivation families.

He had already reached the late Foundation Establishment stage three years ago, and had long admired Fairy Caiyue, determined to win her over.

"If you really get together with Sister Caiyue, wouldn't you be offending another late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator for no reason? And a behemoth like the Wang family at that."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fengmian's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.

Indeed, while beauty is desirable, without corresponding strength, enjoying it is like dealing with a thorny hedgehog.

But then he thought again, possessing the Pure Yang Holy Body and the heaven-defying artifact, the Jade Pendant Space, his cultivation speed was advancing by leaps and bounds. Late Foundation Establishment?

It's only a matter of time! In the future, even the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages may not be out of reach.

"Okay, I understand, Li'er."

He gripped Nangong Li's hand tightly, his tone calm, but a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

"Thank you for the reminder, senior sister."

Nangong Li's original intention was to make him back down, but it's clear that he was not only fearless,

Instead, their fighting spirit soared, and with a sigh in their heart, they finally gave in.

"Fine, fine, as long as I don't have to be the subordinate."

She thought to herself, somewhat defiantly.

"No matter what, I'm still the official wife!"

As soon as this thought arose, another image suddenly flashed into my mind:

If... if we take that little bitch Chu Qingyi as a concubine in the future, then she can only be a second wife!

When the time comes, while she is cultivating with Lin Fengmian, I will sneak in and see her pathetic state as she submits to his pleasure, then I will mock her thoroughly.

When they meet on ordinary days, Chu Qingyi has to respectfully call her "elder sister"...

Thinking this, Nangong Li actually felt... a strange excitement and anticipation?

Whether she sensed something or not, she had just looked up when...

My gaze passed through the sparse flowers and trees, and I indeed came across that stunningly beautiful face.

It was Chu Qingyi, and Ye Fan, the annoying man beside her.

Chu Qingyi had obviously seen them as well.

When she saw Lin Fengmian and Nangong Li walking intimately hand in hand in the courtyard,

It felt like my chest had been struck hard by a heavy hammer; a sudden tremor ran through me, and a suffocating pain instantly spread.

Did that bad feeling come true?

Why is that wicked woman, Nangong Li, here?

Could it be... that she's trying to poach Yun Caiyue and her grandfather?

No, it's impossible.

Chu Qingyi immediately denied this guess.

Yun Caiyue and he had an extremely good relationship, almost like old friends from the first meeting. How could she possibly be persuaded by Nangong Li? Absolutely impossible!

Actually, she didn't know why Yun Caiyue was so enthusiastic towards her.

But it seems the other person likes me and won't be easily persuaded by others!

She forcefully suppressed the stabbing pain and surging sorrow in her heart.

He whispered to Ye Fan, who was staring blankly at him, "Brother Ye Fan, let's go in."

However, at this moment, Ye Fan's eyes were practically glued to Nangong Li.

Especially those long, slender legs, partially hidden beneath the dark palace dress and encased in alluring black stockings.

"Damn! Those legs...that face...that cold yet alluring aura..."

Ye Fan's Adam's apple bobbed wildly; he was so hungry he almost lost his composure on the spot.

"That Nangong Li is truly despicable to the core! Such a stunning beauty should belong to me, Ye Fan!"

He had already begun to fantasize about Nangong Li and Chu Qingyi lying naked on his bed.

The wonderful scene of him galloping freely was so exciting that it almost made my blood boil.

Chu Qingyi saw Ye Fan staring at Nangong Li with a lewd and undisguised gaze.

The fragile illusion I had built up completely shattered, and a strong feeling of nausea surged up inside me.

"This...this is the Ye Fan I've always admired? How could he look like this?"

She felt a dizzying sense of disillusionment.

"No! That can't be right!"

She shook her head abruptly, once again blaming the bastard who had taken over her body and soul.

"It must be Lin Fengmian! It's all because of him that I'm so unsettled and can't stand anyone, even Brother Ye Fan..."

"Brother Ye Fan, we're leaving!"

Chu Qingyi raised her voice, her tone clearly conveying displeasure and urging.

Ye Fan then snapped back to his senses, realizing his lapse in composure, and quickly gave an awkward laugh to cover it up:

"Qingyi, I was just watching that bastard Lin Fengmian! He's gone too far! And Nangong Li, aiding and abetting evil, I really wanted to teach her a lesson!"

These words were half true and half false, but they sounded increasingly grating to Chu Qingyi's ears.

She didn't want to argue any longer and gave Ye Fan a cold glance.

He turned around and walked straight toward the small building where Yun Caiyue lived.

Seeing this, Ye Fan quickly suppressed his romantic thoughts and hurried after him.

"One must eat one bite at a time," he told himself. "First, I need to win over Chu Qingyi and replenish my yang energy to break through to the Golden Core stage. Nangong Li... will be mine sooner or later!"

Nangong Li took in Chu Qingyi's pale, dazed, and tearful expression just a moment ago.

I felt instantly refreshed, like drinking an ice-cold spring on a sweltering summer day, completely relaxed.

She deliberately nudged Lin Fengmian lightly with her shoulder, her tone rising:

"Husband, why don't you go and comfort your Holy Maiden? I thought she was about to cry just now."

Lin Fengmian withdrew his gaze from the direction Chu Qingyi had left, shook his head, and said in a calm tone:

"The past is gone. Now, in my heart, there is only my senior sister."

Nangong Li snorted coldly upon hearing this:

"Hmph? Really? But someone just admitted that they 'have some feelings' for Caiyue. You seem to have quite a bit of room in your heart, don't you?"

Lin Fengmian, with his thick skin, replied with a grin:

"Everyone loves beauty. But my feelings for you, Senior Sister, are as clear as day. Please be magnanimous and understanding, Senior Sister?"

"You're such a smooth talker," Nangong Li scolded playfully, too lazy to argue with him any further, and instead said with great interest,

"Husband, guess what would happen if Chu Qingyi knew that Yun Caiyue not only refused to renew her contract, but also turned around and signed a contract with her mortal enemy?"

And what made all of this happen was that she herself pushed away the man she didn't want... Do you think she had that kind of expression? Just thinking about it makes me incredibly amused.
