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

Lin Fengmian's lips twitched upon hearing this. He hadn't expected this place to divide the realms into such fine details.

Judging by the opponent's level, my strength of a thousand jin has already reached the threshold of a post-natal martial artist.

At this point, Gu Qingge added:

"Among all the people who have come to the husband selection banquet tonight, they are all at least at the level of Acquired Martial Artist, except for you."

Lin Fengmian twitched upon hearing this.

So, does that mean everyone sitting here is a monster capable of delivering a punch with the force of a thousand pounds?

This Sealed Spirit Land is indeed something special; it can actually temper the physical body to this extent.

But... why do I feel like there aren't many people here who could pose a threat to me?

Could it be that these people are only practicing body refinement, but I previously practiced both immortal cultivation and body refinement, making my body much stronger than theirs?

Without much thought, he followed Gu Qingge and sat down. After sitting down, he made no attempt to be polite, picking up the fruit wine and snacks on the table and eating while continuing to look around.

Just then, a considerable commotion suddenly erupted at the entrance. Lin Fengmian was enjoying the delicacies of Fengming Kingdom...

Hearing the sound, they quickly looked up and saw a handsome man, almost otherworldly, walk in, accompanied by two female maids.

The contrast is too great.

As soon as the man entered the room, he glanced around with a sense of superiority in his eyes, yet somehow managed to evoke no feeling of disgust.

He was in his early twenties, with features so refined they resembled a meticulously painted portrait, his eyes carrying a blend of femininity and sharpness.

Dressed in a silver-white brocade robe with a jade belt around her waist, her clothes fluttered as she walked, like a banished immortal stepping out of a painting.

As soon as the man entered the palace, he was greeted with cheers and jubilation.

"Young Master Zhao! It really is Young Master Zhao!"

"Good heavens! He actually came! I'm definitely going to take him down this time!"

Those shouting were none other than the daughters of wealthy young ladies, which shocked Lin Fengmian beyond belief.

What's going on? This doesn't make sense! Wasn't this supposed to be a matriarchal society? How can this man have such a high status?!

Lin Fengmian immediately perked up his ears to listen.

It turns out that the other party's bloodline is very pure, and his ancestors produced many powerful figures. That's why these young ladies from noble families want to marry him and produce offspring with high bloodlines.

"I never expected Young Master Zhao Chen to actually come tonight! He's undoubtedly the top courtesan at tonight's husband-selection banquet!" a young lady whispered excitedly to her companion.

"The Zhao family has a complete and noble bloodline, and it is said that several of their ancestors were experts above the Innate Realm! If one could marry him, the bloodline of their descendants would be greatly enhanced!"

"Young Master Zhao Chen is only twenty years old and is already a third-grade Acquired Martial Artist. He is hailed as the most likely genius in Qinghe County to break through to the Innate Martial Artist realm in the past hundred years." Another young lady's eyes gleamed with a determined light.

"Alas, only someone with a family background and talent like Young Master Zhao Chen could have such a transcendent status. It's truly enviable."

Even some of the young men who came to participate in the selection spoke with envy rather than jealousy.

Lin Fengmian suddenly realized that he had almost strained his back from using too much force.

Wow! I see!

In the Phoenix Kingdom, the ultimate rule is still that bloodline reigns supreme!

As long as your bloodline is powerful enough and your lineage is strong enough...

Even men can break down gender barriers and become highly sought-after.

The so-called female superiority and male inferiority is more like a balance in social structure under the premise of equal bloodline and talent.

However, once an individual with bloodline exceeding the norm appears like Zhao Chen, the old rules will make way for him.

Family lineage, heritage, and bloodline—these are the true hard currency that determines status.

How interesting! This world is getting more and more interesting!

Lin Fengmian licked his lips, his eyes showing no fear but instead burning with fighting spirit.

Top-tier? Of noble blood?

Hehe, I just wonder, compared to my one-in-a-millennium Pure Yang Holy Body... whose bloodline is more powerful!

Upon seeing that even Zhao Chen had graced the hall with his presence, a young lady from a prominent family, with a rugged face, dressed in men's attire, and exuding a fierce aura, strode confidently to the center of the main hall.

She is Cang Xuan, the host of tonight's husband-selection banquet.

Cang Xuan's appearance brought with it a powerful aura, and the originally noisy hall instantly fell silent, with everyone's eyes focused on her.

Lin Fengmian secretly observed:

This woman... she exudes such immense pressure! Her physical body and vital energy are so vigorous, she's practically a humanoid beast! She's definitely a master!

Cang Xuan's gaze naturally fell on Gu Qingge and the particularly conspicuous Lin Fengmian beside her.

After all, Gu Qingge is like the brightest star in the night sky, and everything around her becomes the focus.

Cang Xuan walked straight over, a bright but undisguisedly passionate smile on her face, her gaze almost greedily fixed on Gu Qingge's cool and aloof face.

"Qingge, it's been a long time. You're even more beautiful than before. Do you still remember last autumn's hunt, when we chased that Crimson Tiger side by side?"

Her words carried a subtle hint of nostalgia, as if she were deliberately trying to get closer to him.

"It is truly an honor for this grand hall that my sister has graced us with her presence at the husband-selection banquet hosted by my Cang family!"

Lin Fengmian's eyelids twitched as he watched from the side!

Holy crap! That look...that tone...something's wrong! Something's really wrong! Damn it! She's a woman!

Could it be... that even women can't resist Gu Qingge's charm?! What kind of irresistible physique is this, appealing to both men and women?!

Gu Qingge responded calmly and respectfully:

"Miss Cangxuan, you're too kind."

Cang Xuan was clearly taken aback by Gu Qingge's neither-soft-nor-hard attitude. Her smile froze slightly, but she quickly regained her warm and generous demeanor.

However, her sharp eyes, as if hooked, swept over Lin Fengmian without making a sound.

He looked her up and down several times, his eyes filled with scrutiny and criticism.

After a moment, she finally spoke, her tone carrying an undisguised contempt:

"Is this the fiancé chosen by Qingge? He looks quite respectable, but I wonder... how good his martial arts are?"

Gu Qingge almost without hesitation turned slightly to shield Lin Fengmian behind her. A rare hint of seriousness and sharpness appeared in her usually cold eyes. Her red lips parted slightly, and her tone was firm:

"That's right, this is my chosen fiancé, Lin Fengmian. Whether he's good or not is up to me to decide."

Seeing this, Lin Fengmian felt a warmth in his heart.

Although he had only been in Fengming Kingdom for a few days, he knew how significant it was for a woman to publicly acknowledge a man as her fiancé in such a setting.

Moreover, for a woman as aloof and proud as Gu Qingge to say such things clearly means she was serious.
