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

He became increasingly aggrieved as he spoke:

"I couldn't resist at all; I was held down and tortured for three days and three nights! Now I don't even have a single piece of clothing left! I'm the victim here!"

Upon hearing this, the veiled woman's stunningly beautiful face beneath the veil instantly flushed crimson!

She opened her mouth, wanting to refute—

But the words stuck in his throat.

because……

He was telling the truth.

Those three days...

Although she was initially affected by the dragon's scrotum, she eventually regained her senses.

But what happens after you regain consciousness?

She still didn't leave.

even……

They even became more involved.

The feeling, which she had never experienced before, captivated her, making her unable to extricate herself.

Every time I think, "This is the last time," I can't help myself again until soon after...

Thinking of this, the veiled woman felt her cheeks burning.

She bit her lip, silently cursing herself:

Pshaw! What am I thinking?!

But the more I try not to think about it, the clearer those images become.

She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

Then--

She saw Lin Fengmian's aggrieved look.

Hugging his knees, he huddled in the corner, looking at her pitifully.

The veiled woman was instantly furious!

Without saying a word, she raised her small, delicate foot and kicked him!

"Who are you trying to impress with this act!"

"Isn't it your fault?!"

"And—are you really at a disadvantage?!"

She became increasingly angry as she spoke, but the force she applied to her feet was not heavy; it was more like an outburst of embarrassment and anger.

Lin Fengmian was kicked and swayed to the side. He didn't dare to dodge and could only continue to hug his knees, muttering to himself:

"I'm not at a disadvantage... but it's quite tiring though..."

"What did you say?!"

The veiled woman's beautiful eyes widened.

Lin Fengmian quickly shut his mouth.

The two remained locked in a stalemate for a moment.

Looking at him like this, the veiled woman felt her anger subside somewhat.

She withdrew her foot, turned around, and faced away from him.

After a moment of silence, she suddenly spoke:

"What...is your name?"

Lin Fengmian was taken aback.

He spoke without blushing or skipping a beat.

"My name is Li Feiyu."

"Li Feiyu..."

The veiled woman repeated it in a low voice, then said coldly,

"If you dare to utter a single word about what happened today, I will tear you to pieces."

Lin Fengmian nodded repeatedly:

"No, no! Don't worry, fairy! I'm very tight-lipped!"

The veiled woman snorted coldly and said nothing more.

It transformed into a streak of light and rushed out of the cave without looking back.

The white figure disappeared into the cave entrance in an instant.

Lin Fengmian finally let out a long breath and slumped to the ground.

"call--"

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, secretly relieved.

Fortunately, this old lady didn't actually take her own life.

He rested for a moment before taking out a clean set of robes from his storage bag.

He dressed slowly and deliberately.

He stood up, stretched his limbs, and took the opportunity to check if his cultivation level had increased.

The next moment, he was completely stunned.

"This...this is?!"

Lin Fengmian stared wide-eyed, feeling the immense spiritual power within his body in disbelief.

Qi Refining Level 12!

And it's not just the beginning of the twelfth level, but the kind that's close to perfection!

He quickly focused his inner energy on his dantian.

Within his dantian, spiritual energy surged, becoming several times more concentrated than before.

What shocked him even more was—

Within that warm, ocean of spiritual energy, a wisp of golden spiritual energy, as thin as a hair, was leisurely swimming about.

Although the golden spiritual energy was faint, it exuded an extremely mysterious aura.

Wherever it passed, the surrounding spiritual energy became increasingly pure, as if it had been cleansed.

"What is this?"

Lin Fengmian was puzzled and tentatively used his divine sense to touch that wisp of golden spiritual energy.

Upon contact, a warm and cool sensation traveled through my consciousness.

It gave him a real jolt!

That feeling was more pleasant than taking any elixir!

"nice one!"

Although Lin Fengmian didn't know what this golden spiritual energy was,

But he was certain that this would do him absolutely no harm.

He recalled the complex look in the veiled woman's eyes as she left, and a vague guess formed in his mind.

This must be... something she left for herself, right?

Thinking of this, Lin Fengmian couldn't help but feel a complex mix of emotions.

Although that woman seemed cold and ruthless, and was quick to kill, in the end…

It seems like they didn't do anything to themselves?

On the contrary, it was myself...

cough cough.

Lin Fengmian coughed twice and stopped thinking about it.

With a thought, a flying sword appeared beneath his feet, and he transformed into a streak of light, hurtling towards the giant tree in the center of the lake island.

The spoils are all there!

Although the veiled woman must have gone back before me and definitely made off with a lot of good stuff—

But you should at least leave yourself some soup, right?

The flying sword pierced the sky, and in no time, Lin Fengmian arrived at the foot of the giant tree.

He looked up.

The next moment, his eyes lit up!

"Still there?!"

That Xuanling Dao Fruit still hangs quietly on the branch!

It is crystal clear, with a shimmering light, and exudes an alluring fragrance!

Lin Fengmian was overjoyed.

He had assumed the veiled woman would definitely take the Dao Fruit away.

After all, this is a treasure that can drive countless Foundation Establishment cultivators crazy!

But she actually... left it for me?

Lin Fengmian pictured that otherworldly face in his mind, and felt a slight warmth in his heart.

"The girl is nice; she didn't recognize me just because I lifted her skirt."

He muttered something to himself, then carefully picked off the Xuanling Dao Fruit and put it into the jade box.

……

far away.

The white figure sat cross-legged on the flying sword, his divine sense scanning the vicinity of the giant tree.

For some reason, she actually dared to choose to hand the item over to Lin Fengmian.

After all, just as Lin Fengmian said, he had already established his foundation, so this thing was useless to him...

Suddenly, she stopped moving.

"What did he just say?!"

"What do you mean by 'rejecting someone once they lift their skirt'?!"

Xia Qingcheng's pretty face beneath the veil was both shy and annoyed.

She snorted coldly and stopped paying attention to the man's movements.

Instead, it turned and flew towards the exit of the secret realm.

……

On the island in the middle of the lake.

Lin Fengmian was naturally unaware that his mutterings had been overheard by the other party.

At this moment, he was busily packing up his spoils.

First, there was the corpse of the great demon.

Although the veiled woman had already dealt with the dragon and the giant wolf,

But some are still left.

Dragon tendons, dragon bones, dragon blood, wolf teeth, wolf skin... these are all excellent materials for refining weapons.

If you take it outside and sell it, it'll be worth at least tens of thousands of spirit stones!

Lin Fengmian categorized these things without any hesitation.

Important items are stored in jade pendants; ordinary items are thrown into storage bags.

Then came the elixir.

Because the island was occupied by a demon king for many years, very few people set foot on it, so the medicinal herbs grew extremely luxuriantly.

Lin Fengmian's eyes lit up

Finally, we harvested a total of four key medicinal plants for foundation building!

Including the ones from before, he managed to gather five main medicinal herbs for Foundation Establishment on this trip!
