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

But she quickly took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

Now that she has acknowledged him as her husband, she will not waver in her resolve to leave him despite the many beautiful women around him.

She believed that as long as she treated him sincerely, he would never let her down.

Thinking of this, she stepped forward and bowed gracefully to Xiao Xiyue and Honglian, her voice gentle and charming:

"Qingyao greets both elder sisters."

Seeing how well-behaved she was, Xiao Xiyue and Honglian's initial reservations vanished considerably.

Xiao Xiyue was the first to react. She stepped forward, personally helped Yan Qingyao up, took her hand, and examined her closely before smiling:

"Sister Qingyao is truly beautiful and has a pure temperament. No wonder Junior Brother Fengmian is so enamored with her. From now on, we are family, so there's no need for formalities."

Yan Qingyao blushed slightly at the praise and whispered, "Sister Xiyue, you flatter me."

Honglian coughed lightly beside her, trying her best to maintain the dignified demeanor of a sect elder.

Her gaze swept over Yan Qingyao, and she nodded slightly.

"Junior Nephew Lin truly has excellent taste. Miss Qingyao is gentle and polite, and she and my good-for-nothing junior nephew are quite a perfect match."

As she spoke, she lightly flipped her hand, and a pure white, exquisitely carved jade ruyi material appeared out of thin air in her palm.

The jade ruyi was about a foot long, and its body was filled with spiritual light, making it clear at a glance that it was no ordinary item.

"This item is called 'Heart-Protecting Ruyi,' and it is a mid-grade spiritual artifact."

Honglian handed the jade ruyi to Yan Qingyao, her tone gentle yet carrying an unyielding air.

"In a critical moment, simply injecting spiritual energy will activate a protective barrier, enough to withstand a full-force attack from an ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. Consider this my... greeting gift to you as your senior uncle."

Yan Qingyao was slightly taken aback, and quickly waved her hand, saying:

"This...this is too precious, Qingyao dares not accept it..."

She instinctively cast a pleading look at Lin Fengmian.

Seeing her nervous and flustered appearance, Lin Fengmian found it amusing. He stepped forward, gently patted her shoulder, and said softly:

"Qingyao, since we're all family, please accept this from your Martial Aunt. Martial Aunt Honglian is always generous; if you refuse, it will seem like you're being distant."

Upon hearing this, Yan Qingyao obediently nodded, accepted the jade ruyi with both hands, bowed again to Honglian, and spoke in a soft voice:

"Thank you, Martial Aunt Honglian."

Seeing how sensible she was, Honglian's eyes flashed with satisfaction, and she nodded gently.

Seeing Yan Qingyao so gentle and lovable, Xiao Xiyue couldn't help but feel a pang of affection for her.

She stepped forward and said softly:

"Sister Qingyao, if you encounter any difficulties in the sect in the future, just come to Snow Moon Peak to find me."

Although I am not an elder, I still have some influence within the Hehuan Sect.

As she spoke, her tone was gentle and kind, like that of a caring older sister, showing none of her usual aloofness.

She knew very well that, given how much Lin Fengmian cared for this girl, she would definitely become a highly valued Daoist partner in the future.

Since she has chosen to stay by Lin Fengmian's side, she will not make things difficult for him because of jealousy.

It's only right to treat Yan Qingyao better because we love her so much.

Honglian stood to the side, trying her best to maintain a dignified and elegant demeanor, with a proper smile on her lips.

But a pang of sadness still welled up in her heart.

She had often fantasized about how wonderful it would be if Lin Fengmian only had her by his side.

But she also knew that it was just a naive fantasy of a young girl in love.

Given Lin Fengmian's abilities and temperament, it was destined that she could not possess him alone.

It's enough to have a place in his heart.

Meanwhile, Chu Qingyi, far away on the main peak, was quietly observing everything on Luoyun Peak with her divine sense.

When she saw Yan Qingyao's well-behaved and sensible appearance, and witnessed Xiao Xiyue and Honglian presenting their gifts and addressing each other as sisters, she couldn't help but sigh.

She withdrew her consciousness, gazed at the misty sea of ​​clouds outside the window, and a helpless smile appeared on her lips.

"He wouldn't be like him if he didn't have three or five stunning beauties by his side..."

She shook her head, suppressing the barely perceptible disappointment in her heart, and refocused her mind on cultivation.

On Luoyun Peak.

Faced with the successive enthusiasm of Xiao Xiyue and Honglian, Yan Qingyao was momentarily at a loss.

She thought that as a newcomer, she would have to go through some adjustment period, but she did not expect the two older women to be so friendly to her.

"Qingyao, you are so beautiful." Xiao Xiyue held her hand and exclaimed sincerely.

"No wonder Junior Brother Fengmian rushed to your place as soon as he returned, and didn't even bother to see us old acquaintances."

Yan Qingyao's pretty face flushed slightly, and she whispered:

"Sister Xiyue is so beautiful and elegant that even Qingyao can't take her eyes off her."

She was telling the truth.

Xiao Xiyue was already exceptionally beautiful, and now, after successfully forming her core, she exudes an even more ethereal and otherworldly aura.

Her whole body radiated a moist glow, as if she had been fully nourished, making her incredibly beautiful.

The two women chatted back and forth, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

Lin Fengmian stood aside, watching this harmonious and happy scene, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

That's more like it!

As a playboy, one should have this kind of vision and courage! Three women under one roof, yet they can still be happy and harmonious—how delightful!

His future journey is to the stars and the sea; being surrounded by a few fairies is nothing more than a small matter!

……

After the two women left, Lin Fengmian escorted Yan Qingyao back to her cave and settled her in. He then instructed Xiao Ling'er to take good care of her daily life.

"Qingyao, you're new here, so get familiar with the environment first. I still have some things to take care of."

Yan Qingyao nodded obediently: "Husband, don't worry, Qingyao will take good care of herself."

Looking into her gentle, watery eyes, Lin Fengmian felt a surge of tenderness in his heart. He bent down and kissed her forehead before turning and leaving.

This time, he didn't look for anyone else, but went straight to Xiao Xiyue's cave.

Since Senior Sister Xiyue behaved so generously and appropriately today, he naturally had to reward her handsomely.

A delicate fragrance wafted through the cave.

Xiao Xiyue was sitting cross-legged on the jade couch, closing her eyes to regulate her breathing. Today she was wearing a plain white gauze dress, the hem of which faintly revealed her long, straight legs, her curves breathtaking.

Hearing familiar footsteps, she opened her eyes and saw that it was Lin Fengmian. A gentle look immediately appeared in her beautiful eyes.

"Junior brother, why are you here? Shouldn't you spend more time with Qingyao?"

Lin Fengmian walked up to her, his gaze fixed intently on her exquisitely beautiful face:

"Xiyue, you did very well today. I am very satisfied."

Xiao Xiyue blushed slightly under his direct gaze, lowered her eyes, and said in a soft voice, "I'm willing to do anything you like."
