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

It seemed to recognize the vital essence and blood aura closely connected to Lin Fengmian on the little black snake, and understood that it was this human who had protected and incubated its kind.

The next moment, the enormous snake tail rose again, but instead of attacking, it swept gently towards Lin Fengmian with a strange, immense force.

The force was fierce, yet surprisingly it lacked any killing intent; instead, it carried a hint of... pushing him away.

Lin Fengmian felt an irresistible force lift his body into the air, and then everything went black before his eyes. He lost consciousness and fainted.

After an unknown amount of time, he slowly opened his eyes. What came into view was the slightly swaying roof of a carriage, and a faint, elegant fragrance lingered around his nose.

The interior of the carriage was exquisitely decorated, complete with cushions, curtains, and small tables, resembling a woman's boudoir.

He instinctively tried to circulate his spiritual energy, but his heart sank suddenly—

His body was completely empty! Not only could he not sense a trace of spiritual energy, but the mysterious connection with the spiritual spring space had also been completely severed!

Lin Fengmian felt a chill run down his spine!

What the hell is going on here?!

I clearly remember that the giant snake's tail wrapped around me and lifted me into the air, so why did I wake up to find that not only was my spiritual power completely gone, but I couldn't even sense anything in the jade pendant's space?

Thinking of that little black snake, his heart tightened again—it was a spirit beast cub that he had painstakingly hatched from a snake egg.

Just as Lin Fengmian was racking his brains trying to figure it out, a sweet voice came from the side—

"Oh, she's awake! She's really awake!"

Lin Fengmian looked in the direction of the sound and saw a beautiful young woman dressed in purple standing at the carriage door, looking him up and down without any attempt to hide it.

His eyes were fixed on the object, as if he were assessing it from head to toe, and he was making clicking noises with his mouth.

Even after being discovered by Lin Fengmian, the girl in purple showed no embarrassment whatsoever.

Instead, she stared at him for a while, then, as if suddenly remembering something, she quickly stepped forward and grabbed his arm:

"Oh dear, get up quickly! Get up! Let's go see my young lady first!"

Without saying another word, he tried to drag Lin Fengmian out of the car.

Lin Fengmian tried to struggle, but found that his body was very weak and sore all over, and he couldn't even beat an ordinary girl.

He was dragged and pulled off the carriage, and almost fell flat on his face.

He had barely steadied himself when another woman in green approached him with a smile, looked him up and down, and spoke with a hint of teasing:

"I thought she was beyond saving. Go and see our young lady quickly."

You were saved by our young lady with great difficulty, how do you plan to repay her kindness?

The green-clad woman's gaze was exactly the same as the purple-clad girl's, brazenly sweeping over him.

It carried a meaning that Lin Fengmian couldn't understand at all, as if he was evaluating some... goods?

Lin Fengmian felt a chill run down his spine.

He was, after all, a dignified cultivator; he shouldn't be allowed to be stared at like this in the street.

But now he was down on his luck, with no spiritual power left, so he could only suppress his anger again and again.

Just then, a figure walked from the front.

She was a beautiful woman in a long dress, tall and slender, with a neat and capable air about her as she walked.

She was unlike any fairy Lin Fengmian had ever seen before.

Most of those fairies had a pampered, spotless, fair complexion.

The woman in front of me, however, had a healthy, rosy complexion.

She has a full figure with stunning curves, a slender yet powerful waist, and long, straight legs. Standing there, she exudes an unparalleled wild beauty.

The overwhelming vitality and energy made Lin Fengmian pause in surprise.

The woman also sized Lin Fengmian up and down.

Her gaze lingered on his face for a moment, a slight smile playing on his lips, carrying a hint of dashing confidence:

"Hmm, not bad, he does have a respectable and handsome appearance. Quickly go and change this young master into some clean clothes; it's inappropriate for him to always be dressed so shabby."

"Yes, Miss!"

The girl in purple responded crisply and then grabbed Lin Fengmian's sleeve, pulling him back into the carriage.

Inside the carriage, the girl in purple tossed him an ordinary blue robe, then, hands on her hips and with a piercing gaze, said:

"Take it off! Put this on!"

Lin Fengmian's lips twitched.

Is there something wrong with this girl's brain?

If the other party doesn't leave, how can I get away?

Although the other person was a girl, her eyes were fixed on him without any intention of avoiding him, and even carried a sense of urging.

"This young lady..."

Lin Fengmian cleared his throat, deciding to first clarify the situation. "May I ask where this is? How did I get here?"

Upon hearing this, the girl in purple showed a knowing expression, as if she had already guessed that he would ask this question:

"You must be a refugee from the Northern Wilderness Beast Region. You must have encountered some wild beast and been terrified!"

As she spoke, she nonchalantly turned around to rummage through something, continuing, "..."

"This is the territory of Qingyun County. You were picked up by my young lady from the riverbank."

Tsk tsk tsk, you're incredibly lucky! To be chosen by my young lady is an unparalleled stroke of good fortune!

Lin Fengmian became more and more confused as he listened.

What North? What refugees?

I clearly encountered the black water viper deep in the swamp, so how did it suddenly become a riverside?

And what about the big black water viper? And the little black snake?

He remembered the giant snake pushing him with its tail, and then he passed out. He had no idea what happened after that.

"Young lady, what do you mean by 'fortune'?" Lin Fengmian asked, suppressing his doubts.

The girl in purple turned around and looked at him with an expression that said, "Why are you so dense?"

"My young lady is the most beautiful woman in Qingyun County!"

Gu Qingge, the third young lady of the Gu family!

"From now on, if you follow my young lady, you won't have to suffer from hunger and cold anymore. You'll have plenty to eat every day, which is much better than that awful place in the North!"

Lin Fengmian: "..."

What does that mean? Something doesn't sound right.

It's just like those maids in the mortal world choosing...male concubines for their young mistresses?

He felt a chill run down his spine.

But now, not a trace of spiritual energy can be sensed, and even the space within the jade pendant has been completely disconnected.

This place is even more bizarre than the previous swamp, with a greater lack of the laws governing heaven and earth.

At least in that swamp he could still vaguely sense the flow of spiritual energy, but now it was a complete dead zone for spiritual energy.

As the saying goes, "a tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs," Lin Fengmian decided to keep a low profile and remain inactive for the time being.

Since the other party has no malicious intent,

At least for now, it doesn't seem so.

Let's go along with their wishes for now and figure out the situation first.
