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

Chu Qingyi's face paled, she bit her lower lip, and her eyes reddened even more.

What else could she possibly give him?

She raised her head, her gaze falling on Lin Fengmian's face.

But she met his eyes, which held a burning intensity.

She recognized that look all too well.

That night, he looked at himself like that, and then...

Chu Qingyi's heart skipped a beat, her cheeks flushed instantly, and she subconsciously bit her lower lip, her eyes darting away, yet she couldn't help but steal glances at him.

That bastard... is he lusting after me again?

Although I thought this way, I didn't feel much resentment; on the contrary, I was quite happy.

Her shy and flustered appearance, coupled with the white dress that accentuated her curves, was indeed quite alluring.

Lin Fengmian's Adam's apple twitched slightly.

This woman... is truly a natural beauty.

Nangong Li, who was behind him, saw all of this and his jealousy flared up instantly.

She stepped forward, her slender hand subtly reaching behind Lin Fengmian's waist.

Pinch a piece of soft flesh with two fingers and twist it hard!

"Hiss—" Lin Fengmian gasped, his expression instantly becoming quite interesting.

Lin Fengmian quickly spoke up:

"Sister Caiyue, Chu Qingyi, I'm leaving now."

After saying that, without waiting for the two to react, he pulled Nangong Li out of the courtyard.

Yun Caiyue stood there, watching the two figures leave, her eyes slightly dimmed, but she quickly smiled.

Brother Fengmian... It's so good to see you again.

Chu Qingyi bit her lip, watching Lin Fengmian leave without looking back, and felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.

He didn't even glance at me again...

……

Outside the courtyard gate.

Lin Fengmian took Nangong Li a few steps, then let go of her hand and walked forward calmly without saying a word.

Nangong Li followed behind him, feeling inexplicably uneasy looking at his cold demeanor.

In the past, he would always come up to her with a grin and say witty things to make her happy, but now, he didn't even look at her.

She bit her lip, quickly stepped forward, and reached out to grab his sleeve:

"My husband..."

Lin Fengmian neither turned around nor stopped.

Nangong Li felt a tremor in his heart, and the unprecedented sense of panic intensified.

She recalled the undisguised admiration in Yun Caiyue's eyes when she looked at Lin Fengmian in the courtyard, and the shy, hesitant look on Chu Qingyi's face...

They were all so beautiful, and their family backgrounds and talents were no less than hers, and... they were all more clingy than her.

Will Lin Fengmian think she's too cold? Will he think she's not as gentle and considerate as they are?

Once this idea takes hold, it grows wildly like weeds.

She quickly caught up with Lin Fengmian, hugged him tightly from behind, pressed her cheek against his back, and spoke in an incredibly soft voice:

"My lord... I know I was wrong..."

Lin Fengmian paused, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Sure enough, the woman took the bait.

He wasn't really angry, of course.

With his experience in love from his previous life, how could he not see that Nangong Li's little actions just now were nothing more than jealousy?

He just wanted to take this opportunity to make this aloof and cold fairy lower her attitude a little.

After all, he's always been the one being teased by her; it's time for him to take the initiative.

He deliberately paused for two seconds before saying calmly:

"What's wrong with it?"

Nangong Li hugged his waist and said in a muffled voice:

"I shouldn't have pinched you... I just felt uncomfortable seeing those two women looking at you like that..."

She raised her head, walked around to face him, and looked up at him, her beautiful eyes filled with a rare mix of trepidation and ingratiation.

"Husband~ please don't be angry anymore, okay? I won't do it again..."

Lin Fengmian looked down at her.

The morning light shone on her face, her peach blossom eyes glistened with tears, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her red lips were slightly pursed, giving her a pitiful look.

She was completely different from the cold, aloof, and unapproachable Nangong Li she usually was.

Lin Fengmian felt secretly pleased.

It became.

His expression remained indifferent as he raised his hand and pinched her cheek.

"Then tell me, what should we do next?"

Nangong Li blinked, then suddenly tiptoed and gave him a light peck on the lips.

Instantly separate.

Her cheeks flushed slightly, but she forced herself to meet his gaze:

"Will this... work?"

Lin Fengmian raised an eyebrow: "That's it?"

Nangong Li bit her lip, then leaned in again, this time lingering for two more seconds.

As they parted, her eyes sparkled, and her voice was soft and alluring:

"My lord~ tonight... I will satisfy you..."

Lin Fengmian then smiled, reached out and put his arm around her waist, pulling her into his embrace:

"That's more like it."

Nangong Li lay on his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and felt inexplicably at peace.

Turns out... coaxing people isn't that hard after all.

Then she realized—

No! How did I become like this?!

She used to be indifferent to all men, but now, to make him happy, she's offering kisses and saying such embarrassing things...

She looked up and glared at Lin Fengmian:

"You lecher! Are you doing this on purpose?!"

Lin Fengmian blinked innocently:

"Deliberately what? I didn't say anything, you did it all on your own initiative."

"you……!"

Nangong Li was furious, but there was nothing he could do about it.

That person is absolutely wicked!

……

The two then spent another half a day wandering around the immortal city.

Lin Fengmian reaped a great harvest this time—of course, all of which he spent were Nangong Li's spirit stones.

He wandered between various shops selling medicinal herbs, specifically targeting rare and hard-to-find medicinal herb seeds.

"Please wrap up the seeds of this 'Ice Lotus' plant for me."

"And this bag of 'Purple Jade Ginseng' seeds, I'll take them all."

"Hmm? Spores of 'Dragon's Blood Ganoderma'? I'll take as many as you have."

Nangong Li followed behind him, watching him squander his spirit stones lavishly, her eyes twitching slightly.

But she didn't say anything.

Anyway... he's my man, what's wrong with spending a few spirit stones?

Moreover, after these few dual cultivation sessions, my cultivation progressed much faster than before. For this reason alone, it was worth spending any amount of spirit stones.

She was just really curious:

"Husband, why did you buy so many medicinal herb seeds? You don't even know how to refine pills."

Lin Fengmian answered without turning his head:

"Who said I was going to refine pills? Can't I just grow them for fun?"

Nangong Li: "...Just planting it for fun?"

She stared at the valuable and rare seeds in the storage bag, speechless for a moment.

Planting them for fun... That's as if spirit stones were blown away by a strong wind.

However, remembering how Lin Fengmian had saved Yueyinglan last time, she didn't ask any more questions.

Perhaps he really does have some special talent?

……

As evening fell, the two did not rush back to their sect. Instead, they rented a courtyard with abundant spiritual energy at the most prestigious cave dwelling rental shop in the immortal city.

Close the barrier to prevent any outside spying.

Looking at the elegantly decorated cave dwelling before him, and then at Nangong Li beside him dressed in a black palace gown and black stockings, Lin Fengmian felt a surge of heat rush to his head.
