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

She was willing to pay any price for her loved ones.

Lin Fengmian felt the gentle trembling of the beautiful woman in his arms, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

That's exactly what he was waiting for.

Although this woman is love-struck, her emotions are erratic and difficult to control.

Now is a good opportunity.

He gently patted Gongsun Mili's back; his voice was soft, but it carried a reassuring strength.

"Don't worry, your family is my family. I, Lin Fengmian, hereby promise that I will do everything in my power to rescue them safely!"

However, saving lives is by no means an easy task.

The Situ family had clearly planned this all along.

Gongsun Gaishi, Gongsun Yan, and Gongsun Ping, father and sons, were not imprisoned in an ordinary place.

Instead, they were secretly transferred to the depths of a forbidden water dungeon controlled by the Situ family!

Not only was it heavily guarded, but it also had layers upon layers of powerful restrictions and confusing formations.

Ordinary methods are simply insufficient to pinpoint the exact location, let alone infiltrate and rescue the person.

Situ Xiong personally led the men,

The interrogation of Gongsun Gaishi continued day and night with cruelty.

They used every means at their disposal—coercion, bribery, and threats—just to pry him open and find out the whereabouts of the Boundary-Breaking Pearl.

In order to gain Gongsun Mili's complete loyalty, Lin Fengmian immediately arranged for Li Cheng to be dispatched.

"Old Li, it's your turn! You must find out the exact location where Master Gongsun and the others are being held, as well as the guarding force and the formation setup!"

Although Li Cheng cursed inwardly, feeling that this kid was really treating him like a mule, he had no choice but to accept his fate since his life was in the other person's hands.

He manipulated the precarious, disintegrating demonic corpse, transforming it into an almost imperceptible shadow that vanished instantly, infiltrating once again into the Situ family's sphere of influence.

……

At the same time, Lin Fengmian knew that this place was not a good place to stay for long.

The Situ family must be like a hornet's nest that has been stirred up, mobilizing all their resources to frantically search for their whereabouts.

Especially that Situ Yanran, not only did I escape from her boudoir,

He even drained her most trusted maid's life; this feud had become a major one.

That woman probably wants to skin him alive right now!

He dared not delay and quickly left the temporary lodging with Gongsun Mili and Gongsun Chan.

After several twists and turns, they finally managed to sneak into a natural cave located deep in a remote mountain range.

Upon entering the cave, Lin Fengmian immediately sprang into action.

He first carefully checked the surrounding environment, and after confirming that it was safe, he took out the array plate and array flag without hesitation and began to set up the concealment restriction and defensive array.

As the light shimmered, the entire cave's atmosphere was completely shut out.

From the outside, this place looks no different from the surrounding mountains and rocks, as if no one has ever set foot here.

After doing all this, Lin Fengmian finally breathed a sigh of relief, but his eyes remained serious.

"We're safe for now. But we can't let our guard down; the Situ family's search operation will likely cover this area soon."

Until Li Cheng brings back definite news, we must wait patiently and recover our strength as quickly as possible to prepare for the upcoming fierce battle!

The light inside the cave was unusually dim.

Only a few dim, luminous pearls on the cave walls emitted a chilling light.

The three of them sat facing each other, and the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

Lin Fengmian sat cross-legged on a barely flat bluestone. To his left was Gongsun Mili, her brows furrowed with anger and her arms crossed.

On the right is Gongsun Chan, her head bowed and her ears so red they could drip blood.

The small space was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Just then, Gongsun Mili seemed to have discovered something.

Her beautiful eyes suddenly narrowed, and she quickly stood up, her red lips slightly parted, as she spoke in disbelief:

"Lin Fengmian! You! You! How did you break through?!"

Her clothes were slightly disheveled, and the fluctuations of spiritual energy had not yet completely subsided, but her phoenix eyes were fixed on Lin Fengmian, filled with shock and jealousy.

After all, she knew the only way for this guy to improve his cultivation. It had only been a short time since they separated, and he had already broken through again?

She rushed to Lin Fengmian, glaring down at him, her chest heaving slightly with anger.

"Tell me quickly! Who did you go to cultivate with?! How long has it been since you separated, and you've already broken through from the late Core Formation stage to the Great Perfection stage?"

Gongsun Chan, standing to the side, was also full of doubt. Forgetting her shyness, she leaned closer like a curious cat and asked:

"Yes, yes, my dear disciple, tell me quickly, how did you break through?"

She remembered clearly how many rare and precious herbs she had showered upon him.

I haven't seen him move much, so how come his cultivation level has skyrocketed like he ate a magic pill after just a few days?

Looking at the two beauties, one tall and one short, glaring at him menacingly, Lin Fengmian felt inexplicably guilty.

He subconsciously touched his nose and coughed lightly, "Would you believe me if I said... it was Situ Yanran who helped me break through?"

Gongsun Mili hugged her full, round breasts with both arms, which rose and fell slightly with her anger.

The white, smooth cleavage was faintly visible in the dim light.

She scoffed, "You little rascal, you can't even pick the right person to lie to!"

She grew angrier as she spoke, and poked Lin Fengmian's forehead with her finger:

"Everyone in the entire Myriad Dao Immortal Alliance knows that Situ Yanran, that vixen, has a phobia of germs."

She especially regards you bunch of filthy men as the most vile things!

Normally, only a few of her male elders can talk to her.

Even if she hadn't chopped it off for you on the spot, you'd still be lucky to have run away!

Upon hearing this, Lin Fengmian finally understood. No wonder the other party wanted his pure Yang energy.

They actually had to use that shady, yang-absorbing formation to take it.

It seems this woman appears cold and aloof on the surface, but she's been doing quite a few dirty things behind the scenes.

Too lazy to hide it, he explained how Situ Yanran had set up a grand formation to drain his yang energy, and how she had even sent four maids to seduce him in turn.

In the end, he managed to control his mind and, taking advantage of the moment when the demoness was out,

It directly absorbed the four maids completely through the great formation.

This is the whole process that led to his cultivation breaking through the bottleneck and entering the Great Perfection of Core Formation. I've summarized the key points here.

After hearing this, a hint of anger flashed in Gongsun Mili's phoenix eyes, and her domineering nature returned:

"That despicable Situ Yanran! She actually dared to kidnap my man! And she even tried to drain your yang energy!"

"I usually can't bear to use it..."

But upon hearing the details of the four maids taking turns seducing her, she changed the subject, her eyes revealing undisguised suspicion:

"Hey, I don't believe it. If I really gave you four beautiful women for free, you would have confessed by now! Would you be that honest?"

Lin Fengmian wasn't angry; he brazenly stepped forward.

He reached out and wrapped his arm around her slender waist, and whispered in her ear with a smile:

"Hehe, how mesmerizing. Isn't it because you're in my heart? My mind is filled with your image. How could those ordinary women possibly catch my eye?"
