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

Her red lips parted slightly, her voice soft yet firm:

Gongsun Mili took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, and looked directly at Lin Fengmian, her tone carrying an unusual seriousness:

"Lin Fengmian, I've thought of a way to help you break through, and perhaps... it will succeed."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fengmian was overjoyed and quickly asked:

"What method?"

Gongsun Mili turned her head slightly to avoid his burning gaze, her voice a little softer, yet still clear:

"Didn't you cultivate the dual cultivation technique of the Hehuan Sect? Anyway... anyway, my nascent soul and your golden core have already merged once."

"Why don't we just use the dual cultivation method to guide the spiritual energy within your body to break through the bottleneck? Maybe that will be effective."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fengmian felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

These days, though he didn't say it, he truly missed her terribly. The passion of that night still occasionally surfaced in his dreams.

Now that the other party has taken the initiative to offer it, he is naturally more than happy to accept.

However, before he could even reply, Gongsun Mili's next words struck him like a thunderbolt, exploding in his mind—

"In the future... I'm afraid we won't have another chance."

Lin Fengmian's smile froze on his face.

He stood there, stunned, his initial excitement instantly fading.

What? There's no chance anymore? What do you mean?

A sense of foreboding washed over her. Could it be... that she was planning to fulfill that damned marriage contract?

Want to leave behind some last beautiful memories while you're still single?

Lin Fengmian could accept doing it multiple times, and even accept "we'll talk about it later," but he absolutely could not accept "this is the last time!"

It's like meat that's already in your mouth, why would you spit it out!

He was extremely unwilling and was about to say something when Gongsun Mili seemed to read his mind. Before he could speak, she sighed softly and added casually:

"Alright, didn't you always want to cultivate with me? Why are you unwilling now?"

"It's not that I'm unwilling, it's just..."

Lin Fengmian wanted to say something more, but the next moment, Gongsun Mili took the initiative to step forward and gently touched his brow with her soft fingertips. A cool spiritual sense quietly flowed into his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Alright, enough talk. Since you're willing, let's get started."

Her movements carried an air of undeniable authority, yet her tone was deliberately forceful, as if she were using this method to conceal the turmoil within her heart:

"Today, let me take charge of the flow of spiritual energy."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fengmian's tangled worries were completely dispelled by her words.

never mind!

Who cares about marriage contracts or this, who cares about this being the last time or this being the last time? Let's enjoy the good fortune in front of us first!

He took a deep breath, a sharp glint in his eyes, and a sly smile curled at the corner of his lips:

"Fine, you asked for this!"

The moment the words fell, the two embraced tightly, their spiritual senses intertwined, their auras merged, and their cultivation techniques began to circulate.

Under Gongsun Mili's guidance, that gentle yet surging spiritual energy flowed slowly along Lin Fengmian's meridians like a tamed dragon.

Each flush carries unprecedented power, reaching the barrier that lies between the late stage of Core Formation and the final stage.

Lin Fengmian felt a jolt throughout his body, and the long-dormant spiritual sea within him actually began to surge!

It works!

Overjoyed, he quickly took out the Breakthrough Pill from his storage bag, sniffed it, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, swallowed it without hesitation.

The pill melted instantly upon entering the throat, and a burst of intense medicinal power exploded outwards, intertwining with the warm spiritual energy within the body to form an even more powerful torrent that surged toward the barrier!

In the blink of an eye, two days have passed quietly.

Inside the quiet room, the swirling spiritual energy gradually subsided.

Gongsun Mili was already dressed and sat quietly to the side. Her face was as beautiful as a peach blossom, with a faint blush on her cheeks. She was full of vitality, and the cold and aloof feeling between her brows and eyes had faded, replaced by an indescribable tenderness.

Even more surprisingly, her aura was more solid and profound than before, clearly indicating that her cultivation had improved considerably during the two days of dual cultivation.

Lin Fengmian sat cross-legged on a futon, his eyes slightly closed, his breath surging like a dragon, and his body radiating endless spiritual light.

He succeeded.

Late stage of Core Formation.

That calm yet powerful aura emanated from within him like a dormant volcano, ready to erupt with astonishing power at any moment.

Gongsun Mili looked at him and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Cultivating with Lin Fengmian was not only incredibly pleasurable, but her cultivation level also increased at an astonishing speed. If it weren't for that damned marriage contract... she truly wanted to stay by his side forever.

She shook her head, unwilling to let these negative emotions affect Lin Fengmian.

Seeing him looking at her thoughtfully, she gently raised her chin, feigning nonchalance, and spoke with a hint of teasing:

"Little Mianmian, you did a great job this time. I hope you can keep up the good work next time."

Lin Fengmian felt a pang of sadness upon seeing her feigned nonchalance, but he remained outwardly composed and instead smiled as he replied:

"Since you have given me your orders, how could I dare disobey? But... you're too domineering, you almost wore me out."

"snort!"

Gongsun Mili raised her chin slightly, like a proud queen, and glanced at him:

"To be favored by me is your good fortune! Countless people would kill for that! What, you're not willing?"

"Yes! Of course I'm willing!"

Lin Fengmian also adopted a shrewd and glib demeanor, and chuckled as he cupped his hands in greeting:

"To be able to serve the Enchanting Queen is the greatest blessing I could ever have! I will definitely work even harder in the future, and try... try not to be overworked!"

"That's more like it!"

Gongsun Mili gave a satisfied hum and turned away, as if unwilling to let him see the fleeting loneliness in her eyes.

As Lin Fengmian watched her haughty back, the smile on his face gradually faded.

strength.

It's still a matter of insufficient strength.

He clenched his fist silently in his heart.

One day, I will become powerful enough to tear apart your damned engagement, so that you can stand openly by my side, comprehend the Great Dao with me, and witness all the splendor of the world!

……

After settling in, Lin Fengmian announced his seclusion without saying a word.

As the saying goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do.

The entire Myriad Dao Immortal Alliance is full of madmen who cultivate recklessly, it's terrifying! If he doesn't work harder, he won't even have the right to stand here, let alone live off a woman.

However, even during the brief moments when he was in seclusion consolidating his cultivation, he did not forget his "old friend" who was thousands of miles away.
