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

Unfortunately, this guy doesn't like me at all.

His sweet words were nothing but an act to save his life.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Mili's eyes dimmed somewhat.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the inexplicable sense of loss in her heart, and gently waved her hand.

The last bit of restriction on Lin Fengmian's body was completely removed.

She then turned away, leaving Lin Fengmian with only a cold, indifferent back view, her voice as clear and cold as frost:

"You may leave. I, Gongsun Mili, keep my word."

Lin Fengmian was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. Looking at the graceful figure with her back to him and her shoulders slightly stiff, he couldn't help but think to himself...

No, it just ended a few minutes ago, how can you be turning your back on me like this?

Now that I know the great benefits of dual cultivation with the other person, wouldn't I be a fool to leave after only a few visits?

And this woman doesn't seem that bad.

He took me and the maids with him when he ran away, so he was obviously a cold-faced but warm-hearted person.

His gaze fell on her slightly trembling shoulders, and he immediately understood.

The other person is clearly the type who says one thing but means another—although they appear very strong and domineering on the outside,

Deep down, she's just a sensitive and fragile little girl. The more heartless her words were, the more she probably hoped he would stay.

Lin Fengmian slowly stood up, without saying a word, and quietly watched her back.

Silence fell over the cave for a moment, with only the tinkling sound of the dripping spring echoing in the air.

Gongsun Mili had her back to Lin Fengmian and waited for a while but didn't hear any movement behind her.

He didn't leave?

She couldn't help but feel happy, as if a warm current had suddenly surged from beneath the ice of winter.

But she still maintained her aloof demeanor, slowly turning her head to look at the man standing there, gazing at her with a complex expression.

The voice still carried a hint of detachment:

"Lin Fengmian, if you don't want to leave for the time being... you can come with me to the Great Yan Royal City first."

It's much safer there. That old demon of Bliss certainly won't let this go easily now, and you'll be safer with me.

She paused, perhaps realizing she was being too forward and somewhat subservient, and quickly added:

"Consider it an act of kindness from the time you served me."

But as soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to remember something, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked at Lin Fengmian and said:

"By the way, my senior brother, True Monarch Blood River, recently took on a disciple, I heard his name is something like Ye Fan."

The other party seems to be a person with great fortune and good talent. Under the tutelage of my senior brother, he has just become a Nascent Soul cultivator.

He seems to be... looking for you too.

"What?!"

Lin Fengmian blurted out, his eyes widening in shock, frozen in place as if struck by lightning.

"Ye Fan?! He... he's become a Nascent Soul stage monster?!"

A thousand horses galloped through his mind in an instant.

Could it be because he was struck by the aftershocks of his own tribulation lightning, but instead of being struck by misfortune, he turned misfortune into blessing and opened up his Ren and Du meridians?

What the hell is this luck?!

Before they could even deal with the Blissful Ancestor, another rival in love, Ye Fan, emerged, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!

That guy's hatred for me runs deep. Now that he's become a Nascent Soul cultivator, he's bound to come and settle scores with me!

Chu Qingyi... all the women he's been eyeing will likely become targets of his revenge.

No, we can't leave now!

Lin Fengmian instantly made the most correct decision—to temporarily submit to… no, to strategically attach himself to this highly skilled, graceful, and stunningly beautiful Gongsun Mili!

His face immediately switched to a gentle and obedient smile, and he bowed slightly to Gongsun Mili, his tone sincere:

"In that case... I will follow your instructions, senior!"

Well, being a gigolo who lives off a woman for the time being isn't so bad.

Lin Fengmian was overjoyed. He decided to first cling to Gongsun Mili's long, white, and powerful leg!

After all, he was her first person to cultivate with her! This bond of kinship should be put to good use, shouldn't it?

……

Meanwhile, in a secluded cultivation realm within the Southern Li Dynasty.

"boom--!"

A terrifying pressure from a Nascent Soul cultivator surged into the sky, causing spiderweb-like cracks to appear on the dome of the secret realm!

As the lightning in the clouds gradually dissipated, a figure slowly stood up, surrounded by a chilling spiritual pressure, his entire being like a drawn sword, its sharpness fully revealed.

It was none other than Ye Fan, whose fortunes were extraordinary!

He felt the surging Nascent Soul spiritual power within his body, and a look of wild joy first appeared on his handsome face. Then, his smile gradually twisted and turned into a ferocious grin.

"Hahahaha! The early Nascent Soul stage is finally stable! I, Ye Fan, have finally achieved the Great Dao of Nascent Soul!"

He clenched his fist tightly, his knuckles cracking, and his eyes flashed with deep-seated resentment: "Lin Fengmian! You damned ant! You crippled my cultivation and stole my woman!"

You even insulted my sect! You didn't expect that, did you? That tribulation lightning not only didn't kill me, but it also helped me temper my Dao foundation, turning misfortune into blessing!

Now that I have reached the Nascent Soul stage, I will surely extract your soul and refine your spirit, ensuring you are never reborn!

His voice was as cold as the deepest hell, filled with endless hatred. Then, as if remembering something, a chilling smile curled at the corner of his lips:

"And Chu Qingyi! You blind, despicable woman!"

You used to ignore me, but now you can't even reach me!

After I destroy Lin Fengmian, I will make you kneel before me and beg for my favor!

He flashed and appeared outside the secret realm.

An elderly servant who had been waiting there immediately knelt down excitedly, his voice trembling:

"Congratulations, Holy Son, on your breakthrough and attainment of the Nascent Soul stage! If the Ancestor knew, he would surely be gratified!"

Ye Fan stood with his hands behind his back, his expression arrogant and his tone icy:

"Enough with the nonsense! Prepare immediately and come with me to the Joyful Union Sect! This Holy Son is going to settle old scores personally!"

"Yes! Yes! This old servant will take care of it right away!" The old servant hurriedly replied, bowed, and withdrew.

……

Meanwhile, above a vast sea of ​​clouds.

A magnificent flower boat is flying smoothly through layers of clouds and waves, heading towards the Great Yan Royal City.

On the deck, Lin Fengmian was leisurely lying on a soft chair covered with soft spirit beast fur, with an unknown spirit herb stem in his mouth, squinting in the sun.

Where was the trace of his previous cautious and timid demeanor? He treated this place as if it were his own home, even more at ease than in his own cave.

The palace maids who had been released by Gongsun Mili gathered together, overjoyed at surviving their ordeal, and wept tears of happiness.

But when they saw Lin Fengmian's arrogant appearance, they all looked at each other, puzzled.

One of the round-faced palace maids was so angry that her chest heaved. She recalled how Lin Fengmian had been bossed around and acted subserviently by the madam before.

Looking at his arrogant attitude now, a nameless anger surged up.
