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

He was also delighted. With this item, Li Cheng's remnant soul would have a place to rest, and the mysterious senior in the jade tube would also be able to get half of the soul-nourishing wood.

He then looked at Yan Qingyao beside him.

This young girl received the true teachings of the ancestor, and her aura changed drastically. She seemed to have been cleansed by celestial light, and her brows exuded an indescribable liveliness and extraordinary talent.

Lin Fengmian's heart warmed, and he immediately reached out and wrapped his arm around her slender waist, pulling her into his embrace, and said with a grin:

"Qingyao, my wife, now that you've received the ancestor's inheritance, does that mean I don't need to work hard anymore? I can just wait for you to carry me to new heights?"

Yan Qingyao's pretty face flushed red as he pulled her waist in public, the redness spreading all the way to her ears.

She instinctively clenched her fist and gently punched his chest, her voice both shy and anxious:

"Oh dear! Brother Fengmian! My father is still here!"

Lin Fengmian then realized what was happening, quickly released his hand, and coughed awkwardly twice.

Yan Nantian stood aside, watching the young couple bicker. Far from being angry, he stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

The weight on his heart finally lifted; his daughter had not only inherited the ancestral legacy but also found such a reliable husband.

The foundation of Yanjiabao will likely continue for hundreds of years to come.

Now that he had obtained the Soul-Nourishing Wood, Lin Fengmian naturally wouldn't hesitate to use it.

After a "friendly" exchange with Li Cheng, he successfully obtained the complete array diagram of a third-order grand array from him—the Human Talents and Auspicious Land Array.

This formation requires connecting to nearby mountain nodes to draw upon the energies of heaven, earth, and humanity, ensuring its continuous vitality and extremely high defensive capabilities.

Once set up, not only will the spiritual energy be several times more abundant, but its defensive power will also be comparable to an ordinary level four formation. Even ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators will not be able to break through it easily!

Over the next two days, Lin Fengmian personally traversed the mountains and rivers surrounding Yanjiabao, surveying the earth's veins and selecting the key points for the formation.

Under his command, the cultivators of the Yan family worked together, and a massive array covering the entire core area of ​​Yan Family Fortress quietly took shape.

When the last array pattern was activated, an invisible light screen flashed by and then disappeared into the void.

The spiritual energy of the entire Yan Family Fortress instantly became more solid and substantial.

Even those clansmen with low cultivation levels could clearly feel that the spiritual energy around them was several times more concentrated.

Yan Nantian and the other elders were incredibly excited as they felt the solid array barrier.

With this formation, Yan Family Fortress finally has a solid foundation for its survival!

Lin Fengmian looked at the smoothly functioning array and felt quite satisfied. He turned to Yan Qingyao, who had been by his side the whole time, and smiled:

"Now I can finally rest assured. After all, my wife's family will be my family from now on, so naturally I must protect them."

After settling everything in Yanjiabao, Lin Fengmian didn't delay any longer.

He placed the piece of soul-nourishing wood in his sea of ​​consciousness, allowing Li Cheng's remnant soul to reside in it.

He had his reasons for doing this.

This old monster has lived for thousands of years, and his mind is more cunning than a honeycomb; you can't trust him at all! Used well, he's a sharp weapon; used poorly, he's a knife that will stab you in the back.

Lin Fengmian knew perfectly well that dealing with this kind of old fox required extreme caution!

We must not be fooled by the small amount of money he offers.

Therefore, he made up his mind that he had to implement the ultimate exploitation system on this old guy—he had to fight for whatever he wanted!

Having resolved his worries, Lin Fengmian, along with Yan Qingyao and Xiao Ling'er, set off to return to the Hehuan Sect.

Along the way, Lin Fengmian was accompanied by two stunningly beautiful women with contrasting styles—Yan Qingyao was gentle and charming, while Xiao Ling'er was aloof and cold—which made him feel quite comfortable.

Xiao Ling'er remained unwilling and gave him a cold shoulder the whole way, but Lin Fengmian didn't care. He was already planning how to deal with this "female prisoner" after returning to the sect.

After three days of flight, the spirit boat finally arrived at the Hehuan Sect.

Under Chu Qingyi's supervision, the Hehuan Sect has now barely returned to normal operation. The sect's protective array glows with light, exuding an inviolable majesty.

Lin Fengmian properly settled Yan Qingyao in a side residence next to his main cave dwelling on Luoyun Peak, and instructed the maids to take good care of her.

Not long after news of his return to the sect spread, two streaks of light landed one after the other on Luoyun Peak.

Xiao Xiyue and Honglian arrived together.

Both women were stunningly beautiful, each with their own unique charm.

Xiao Xiyue was still dressed in white, as aloof as the moon, with a hint of concern in her eyes as they reunited after a long separation;

Honglian wore a light purple dress, her eyes were like autumn water, and a gentle smile played on her lips.

On the distant main peak, Chu Qingyi's divine sense also quietly swept over it.

When she "saw" that familiar figure standing unharmed on Luoyun Peak, a barely perceptible hint of relaxation flashed across her cool expression, and she couldn't help but mutter to herself:

"It's good that you're back safe and sound."

Then, she "saw" the pure and pitiful fairy in the green dress beside Lin Fengmian, a complex look flashed across her eyes, but she quickly suppressed it.

On Luoyun Peak, Xiao Xiyue and Honglian's gazes fell simultaneously on the gentle and graceful figure beside Lin Fengmian.

What an exquisitely beautiful woman with a refined and otherworldly appearance!

Lin Fengmian remained calm. Since Yan Qingyao was his lawfully wedded Daoist partner, this identity should naturally be made public.

He also took this opportunity to probe into the background of his Martial Uncle Honglian.

So he smiled slightly and introduced himself in a generous manner:

"Senior Sister Xiyue, Senior Aunt Honglian, this is my Daoist partner, Yan Qingyao."

Xiao Xiyue and Honglian did not show much surprise upon hearing this.

After all, Lin Fengmian brought back the "deeds" of bringing back a stunningly beautiful woman.

They were already used to it.

From Chu Qingyi and Nangong Li in the beginning, to Xia Qingcheng later, and now Yan Qingyao

It seems that Lin Fengmian has never lacked women around him.

Xiao Xiyue sighed inwardly. She had to admit that Lin Fengmian treated every Daoist partner with genuine kindness.

He never hesitated to find elixirs, ward off disasters, and pave the way to immortality for them.

The only downside is that he is far too sentimental.

This debt of romantic entanglements is something I'm afraid I'll never be able to repay in this lifetime.

Honglian also felt a mix of emotions.

She lowered her eyes, concealing the subtle bitterness beneath her dignified and calm exterior.

Yan Qingyao stood beside Lin Fengmian, her gaze secretly sweeping over the two stunning beauties before her, each with their own unique charm, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Before setting off, Lin Fengmian had mentioned to her that he had "a little over a billion" Daoist partners at home.

Yan Qingyao thought the other party was joking at the time, but now that she saw it with her own eyes, she realized that there was far more than a hundred million.

Even his dignified and elegant martial uncle was taken into his room!

She unconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
