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

"Beautiful lady, you've misunderstood! I'm actually a victim too!"

He spoke with great emotion, his eyes slightly red, his tone tinged with sorrow:

"I was forcibly kidnapped by that wicked old woman, Gongsun Mili!"

I was living a good life at the Hehuan Sect in Qingzhou, enjoying myself with my senior and junior sisters. But she, relying on her high cultivation level and because I'm handsome,...

They just kidnapped me.

She said she wanted me to be her cultivation vessel, to be used for her cultivation. I... I had no choice in the matter!

When he got emotional, his eyes reddened and his voice choked up, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Situ Yanran's smile faltered slightly, and she looked at him with a hint of doubt: "Are you serious?"

"Absolutely true!" Lin Fengmian pressed his advantage, looking at her sincerely.

"Aren't you all after my Pure Yang Holy Body?"

In the end, I'm just a vessel, so how much could Gongsun Mili care? Just a vessel, can't she just find another one?

Is it worth all this trouble for your Situ family?

He lowered his head, his tone growing increasingly sorrowful:

"In her eyes, I was nothing more than a plaything!"

The stone cell was quiet for a few moments.

A hint of doubt flashed across Situ Yanran's stunningly beautiful face.

She tilted her head, scrutinizing Lin Fengmian from head to toe with her captivating eyes, as if trying to find a trace of a lie on his face.

"Could it be... that there really was a mistake?"

She parted her red lips slightly and murmured to herself.

But then she smiled again, bent down, and moved closer to Lin Fengmian once more. This time, their noses were almost touching.

"But... it doesn't matter if I made a mistake."

She gently patted Lin Fengmian's cheek, her tone flippant yet confident:

Even if you're lying to me, it doesn't matter.

Because the scheme orchestrated by my Situ family is flawless.

Adding or removing one of your variables makes little difference to the overall situation. Tomorrow's drama will definitely unfold according to our script.

hum!

These words were like a thunderclap, exploding in Lin Fengmian's mind!

His heart sank!

What does that mean?!

Judging from that tone...

Is the Situ family targeting the Gongsun family?!

Was the whole engagement just a facade from beginning to end? Or was it a meticulously planned scheme?!

Is the Situ family planning to use this opportunity to target the Gongsun family?!

What kind of power does the Gongsun family possess? The patriarch, Gongsun Gaishi, is an elder of the Myriad Dao Immortal Alliance, and his father-in-law, Gongsun Yan, is the vice leader of the alliance. The clan is filled with experts and has a thriving lineage!

Where did the Situ family get the audacity to scheme against the Gongsun family?!

wrong!

There must be a huge conspiracy involved!

Lin Fengmian instantly understood the key point, and a cold sweat broke out on his back!

But... even if we knew, what could we do?

A deep sense of powerlessness welled up inside me.

His cultivation is now sealed, and he can barely protect himself. Even if he discovers a huge conspiracy, he has no power to stop it, and he can't even pass on a message.

For the first time, he truly understood what it meant to be "the anger of an ant is futile."

Situ Yanran seemed quite pleased with his expression, and chuckled softly twice.

Inside the stone prison.

Lin Fengmian was filled with remorse.

It's not a matter of strength; it's that my strength isn't enough!

If I were already a Nascent Soul cultivator, I would definitely demand an explanation from these people!

Why bother pretending to be friendly with Situ Yanran here and suffering such humiliation?

He was filled with resentment when he suddenly felt a tingling sensation in his ear.

"Young man, since that's the case, why don't you come with me?"

Situ Yanran had moved even closer without him noticing, her stunningly beautiful face almost touching his ear.

Warm breath sprayed onto his earlobe, carrying a sweet fragrance.

She stuck out her tongue and lightly licked her red lips, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lin Fengmian, almost drooling with desire.

Lin Fengmian got goosebumps all over his body!

This woman looks like a ruthless character who will devour people without spitting out the bones!

The lust in those eyes was undisguised; she clearly saw him as a meal to be enjoyed at will.

If I really give in to her, wouldn't I be drained dry the moment I finish speaking?

But then again... it seems I have no other choice now.

A true man can bend and stretch; even Han Xin could endure the humiliation of crawling between someone's legs.

I, Lin Fengmian, can tolerate this humiliation of being forced to crawl between Situ Yanran's legs!

The path to immortality is long and arduous, but as long as you survive, there will always be a chance to turn things around in the future!

Thinking of this, Lin Fengmian put on a sincere smile, a smile that was just right.

Three parts flattery, three parts sincerity, three parts innocence, and a touch of pitiful youthful charm.

"Sister Situ is joking." His voice softened, carrying a hint of submissiveness.

"If you don't mind, sister, and are willing to give me a chance, I would be more than happy to accept."

Upon hearing this, Situ Yanran immediately covered her mouth and chuckled. Her fox-like eyes curved into crescents, a hint of admiration flashing within them.

"Good! A wise person knows when to yield!"

She straightened up and clapped her hands.

Four slender figures immediately entered the stone cell. They were all women dressed in plain-colored long dresses, with delicate features and gentle temperaments, and they looked to be no more than twenty years old.

"Chunlan, Xiazhu, Qiuju, Dongmei, the four of you take him to get cleaned up," Situ Yanran said languidly.

"Don't forget to use the finest spiritual lotion to cleanse him thoroughly before bringing him to my bedchamber."

"Yes, Miss."

The four maids responded in unison, their voices clear and melodious like bells.

Situ Yanran turned around, walked to the door, then suddenly turned back and gave Lin Fengmian a charming wink:

"Little brother, your big sister will be waiting for you tonight."

After saying that, she chuckled twice, her skirt swaying as she disappeared into the shadows outside the stone cell.

Lin Fengmian stared at that alluring figure from behind, and a chill ran down his spine.

This woman... her smile is truly unsettling.

Without saying a word, the four maids stepped forward and simultaneously lifted him up from all four directions!

The movements were swift and decisive, clearly indicating that this wasn't the first time he had done something like this.

Lin Fengmian felt four gentle spiritual energies simultaneously enter his body, like a dense net that completely sealed off his remaining spiritual energy.

The four of them were all highly skilled and worked together seamlessly, rendering him unable to move.

His heart grew colder and colder.

The Situ family... is truly impeccable.

Before long, Lin Fengmian was forcibly taken to an extremely luxurious palace by the four maids, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.

Upon entering the palace, one is immediately greeted by a rich fragrance of flowers and perfume.

He looked up and saw that the surrounding buildings were ornately decorated and resplendent in gold.

Soft gauze curtains hung everywhere, and the flickering candlelight cast an ambiguous, warm red glow. The palace...

In the center is a huge hot spring pool, with colorful flower petals floating on the surface, steam rising and a fragrant aroma wafting through the air.
