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

"Qingyi,"

He spoke gently.

"I heard that there is a famous spiritual food shop outside the gate of the Hehuan Sect, which prepares delicious and nourishing spiritual dishes."

"Would you mind taking me to try some? The food in the holy land is rather bland; I'm afraid you won't be used to it."

He certainly wasn't really craving that food.

He was lusting after the man's body.

There are many inconveniences in acting in the Holy Land, after all, one must maintain the image of the Son of God.

But if one goes to the territory of the Hehuan Sect... after a few cups of spiritual wine...

The atmosphere becomes ambiguous. Will this woman be able to escape his grasp then?

And that useless furnace cauldron Lin Fengmian, he's been with Chu Qingyi for three years, but he probably hasn't even touched her hand, right?

Tonight, Ye Fan will sleep with her and become the one who truly possesses her!

Just thinking about it made him feel a surge of anger rising within him.

"Okay." Chu Qingyi felt a sweet warmth in her heart when she heard him think so much about her.

Yes, Brother Ye Fan is still as gentle and considerate as ever.

I should stop overthinking and cherish the people in front of me.

The two of them each unleashed their flying swords.

Ye Fan also wanted to invite Chu Qingyi to ride with him, so that they could get to know each other better along the way.

Unsurprisingly, Chu Qingyi declined.

"I'm used to flying on my own sword."

She explained softly, her eyes flickering slightly.

Only Lin Fengmian... she had ridden with him.

She doesn't feel comfortable with other men.

Even if it's Ye Fan's brother.

Ye Fan cursed inwardly, "What are you pretending to be so innocent for?" but his expression remained gentle.

"Alright, let's go side by side then."

The flying sword slowly rose into the air, heading towards the Hehuan Sect.

Along the way, Ye Fan was still unwilling to give up. He turned his head to look at Chu Qingyi, who was dressed in flowing white robes beside him, and his tone became even gentler:

"Qingyi, I've been away from you for the past three years, and you've suffered a lot. Especially... having to deal with that useless furnace cauldron Lin Fengmian."

He deliberately brought up the name to see her reaction.

Chu Qingyi was taken aback upon hearing this.

Is it bitter?

Memories surged back

For the first two years, she did indeed despise Lin Fengmian, speaking coldly to him and even resorting to beatings and scoldings.

But the boy, who always kept his head down and was timid and hesitant, quietly took care of all the little things for her.

The spiritual tea is always at the perfect temperature in the morning.

The incense in the meditation room was always her favorite scent.

He would go to great lengths to find even the ancient books she casually mentioned wanting to read...

It can be said that he takes very good care of himself.

If I had to nitpick, it would be three days ago.

He abandoned his former timidity, becoming assertive and cunning, using sweet words and tricks, and then...

Chu Qingyi bit her lower lip, a sudden wave of grievance rising in her heart.

Chu Qingyi sighed, shook her head, and stopped thinking about these troubling things.

But the closer they flew towards the Hehuan Sect,

The unease in my heart grew stronger.

It felt as if she had left something important behind her, leaving her with a deep and unsettling emptiness.

She tried to focus her thoughts on Ye Fan beside her.

He was still as handsome and refined as I remembered, with a gentle voice.

But for some reason, that admiration that once stirred her heart...

Now it seems as if we're separated by a thin mist.

……

Meanwhile, Nangong Li had already taken Lin Fengmian back to her cave dwelling on her sword.

Qingyue Peak.

The flying sword slowly descended onto a platform halfway up the mountain, shrouded in clouds and mist.

Before me lies an elegant yet magnificent independent courtyard.

Surrounded by spiritual flowers and babbling springs, it is even more serene and spiritual than the Holy Maiden's Palace.

"Senior sister, where do you live?" Lin Fengmian looked around and asked casually.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Li glanced at him coldly with her beautiful eyes: "What do you want to do?"

"I'd love to do it! I couldn't be happier."

Lin Fengmian gave a wicked smile, making no attempt to hide it.

"roll."

Nangong Li spat lightly, but the corners of his lips unconsciously turned up.

She had never seen such a shameless man before.

Strangely enough, I didn't feel much malice towards him; on the contrary, I found it... kind of interesting.

"Of course I'll sleep with you, Senior Sister," Lin Fengmian said matter-of-factly.

"I always sleep with Chu Qingyi in my arms at the Holy Maiden Palace. I can't sleep without someone by my side."

"Ha," Nangong Li chuckled, amused by his blatant lie.

"Chu Qingyi would sleep in the same bed with you? You're kidding me."

As soon as she finished speaking, a communication jade slip at her waist suddenly vibrated slightly.

Nangong Li picked it up and glanced at it, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, a hint of amusement flashing in them.

"Want to sleep with me?" She turned her face and suddenly moved close to Lin Fengmian, her breath sweet and her charm alluring.

Lin Fengmian's Adam's apple bobbed, and he nodded honestly: "Mm."

"Okay, I'll give you a chance."

Nangong Li's eyes sparkled, and he smiled like a cunning fox.

"If you behave well, I'll let you into my room tonight."

"…Senior sister, please speak!"

"No rush," Nangong Li straightened up and gracefully flicked his sleeves.

"Come with me to the 'Drunken Immortal' restaurant at the foot of the mountain for a meal. I'm hungry."

"Oh? Senior Sister has already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, shouldn't she be practicing fasting?"

"If I tell you to keep up, then you should keep up quickly."

……

Zuixianlou is the most famous spiritual food restaurant outside the Hehuan Sect's mountain gate.

As the city lights begin to twinkle, the hall is filled with guests.

On the second floor, Chu Qingyi and Ye Fan sat by the window in a private room.

Outside the window, the long street was bustling with people, and inside, the aroma of delicacies wafted through the air, but Chu Qingyi found herself unable to enjoy her food.

"Qingyi, during the time I was away, I heard that you always had a furnace or cauldron by your side..."

Ye Fan picked up a piece of bamboo shoot with his chopsticks and spoke as if casually.

"He didn't bully you, did he?"

Ye Fan is extremely possessive.

Even if it is believed that Lin Fengmian is just a figurehead,

He also could not tolerate any other man staying by Chu Qingyi's side under any pretext.

"Ah..." Upon hearing this, Chu Qingyi paused slightly in her hand, holding the jade chopsticks, and lowered her eyes somewhat guiltily.

"No, no... Besides, I've already ended things with him."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but recall last night.

Beneath the brocade quilt, there was the man's burning body temperature, his domineering demands, and the uncontrollable trembling and acquiescence she felt.

If... if she hadn't been engaged to Ye Fan, would she... have tried to accept him?

After all, the body doesn't lie.

That night, nine times, she clearly felt how perfectly compatible she and Lin Fengmian were.

It's as if they were born to be intertwined.

Perhaps I have already taken his form?

Pah! Chu Qingyi, what are you thinking!

She shook her head violently, her ears burning.

Just then, two figures, hand in hand, unexpectedly entered her field of vision—

Lin Fengmian, dressed in a blue robe, still maintained his carefree and unrestrained demeanor, turning his head to chat and laugh with the woman beside him.

The woman, dressed in a purple gown and possessing an exceptionally beautiful face, was none other than Nangong Li!

Chu Qingyi's fingertips trembled, and her small fists clenched tightly.

That... bastard!

And this wicked woman!

How did those two get together?!

Ye Fan, who was standing nearby, also saw Lin Fengmian.

But his gaze lingered on that face for only a moment before he was completely drawn to Nangong Li.

This woman is truly beautiful; she's in no way inferior to Chu Qingyi!
