After a struggle, Wu Mengmeng was kicked away by Bai Youyou and took over the burden of carrying you.

[Inside the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.]

At this moment, City Lord Bai Shouzhou sat upright above, dressed in plain black robes without any adornment.

He appeared to be around thirty years old, with a handsome face and an air of scholarly refinement. A gentle smile played on his lips, instantly inspiring a sense of approachability.

He looked at the crowd gathered in the hall, his brow furrowing slightly, before finally fixing his gaze on you.

"Is she the enchantress you were talking about?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Yan, who was standing to the side, quickly stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said:

"That's right, please verify it yourself, Master."

[I can't figure it out myself, but my master, as a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, will surely be able to find clues.]

【"Yang Yan!"】

Bai Youyou, who was already seething with anger, finally exploded.

Along the way, she had long regarded you, this lonely, innocent, and kind girl, as a friend. Who would have thought that Yang Yan would make things difficult for you at every turn, just like everything before, brooking no questioning whatsoever.

Bai Youyou looked at him coldly and said, word by word:

"If nothing is found, our engagement is off!"

"Nonsense!"

Bai Shouzhu slammed his hand on the table and shouted sharply.

In the past, Bai Youyou would have given in and obeyed in such situations, but this time, she did not back down. Instead, she still held her head high and looked directly at her father.

【"Can."】

[Yang Yan's voice broke the silence.]

【"Yan'er..."】

Bai Shouzhou seemed about to say something, but Yang Yan interrupted him, bowing again and saying:

"Please examine this woman, Master."

Bai Shouzhou opened his mouth, hesitated, and ultimately said nothing.

He strode to Bai Youyou's side, and before his sleeves had even finished moving, his fingertips were already touching her brow. A powerful divine sense probed along her meridians, dantian, and even her internal organs.

After a long pause, Bai Shouzhou lowered his fingers and sighed silently.

[Actually, he checked you with his divine sense the moment you entered the hall, but the result was the same.]

"This woman is fine; she's just an ordinary person."

Whether an ordinary woman is innocent or not is not important, but Bai Shouzhuo could see that the rift between his daughter and his disciple was not solely due to this matter.

Since the grudges have been brewing for so long, it's better to break them down and build something new.

He had confidence in Yang Yan and a clear understanding of his daughter; there was affection between them.

"Then the engagement is off!"

Bai Youyou snorted coldly and carried the "drunk" you towards the backyard.

Yang Yan stood silently in place, without uttering a word.

"Let Youyou calm down for a while."

Bai Shouzhou stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.

Yang Yan nodded slightly, his expression unchanged, but his mind was still focused on you. Could it be... that he truly misunderstood you?

Three days later, you will be found to have superior three spiritual roots.

Bai Shouzhuo's attitude towards you has become much warmer, and he found a courtyard outside the city lord's mansion for you to settle down.

Night has fallen, and you are meditating in the courtyard.

Suddenly, a thought struck him, and a figure he had expected arrived as promised.

You chuckled softly, then slowly rose and entered your boudoir.

Yang Yan was still unwilling to give up. These past few days, you and Bai Youyou had been inseparable, and today, he finally got his chance.

In a few leaps and bounds, he had silently slipped to your window.

The sound of running water filled the room, and a faint warmth emanated from it. Yang Yan's expression hardened slightly, and his divine sense quietly probed inside.

In an instant, a hazy figure appeared in his mind's eye amidst the warm steam. His pupils contracted sharply, and he abruptly withdrew his consciousness.

Damn it! That vixen!

Yang Yan stood frozen in place, momentarily at a loss for what to do.

[But the thought of Bai Youyou's cold treatment over the past few days, and the mocking words you uttered in the carriage that day, still haunted him.]

Thinking of this, Yang Yan's eyes darkened. Disregarding all etiquette and rules, he channeled his spiritual energy into the window, shattering it with a resounding crash.

He immediately flipped over and entered, his figure disappearing into the mist.

【"who?"】

Hearing the noise, you stood up in a panic, trying to call for help, but a cold dagger was pressed against your throat.

"Don't move."

Seeing this, your eyes reddened, and large tears rolled down, landing on your arm against your chest, hot and burning.

Yang Yan's wrist twitched, and he almost dropped the dagger.

He forced himself to look away from the breathtaking scenery before him.

"Lin Qianqian, who exactly are you?"

Having reached this point, Yang Yan no longer concealed his identity, the dagger once again pressed against your throat, his voice sharp with accusation.

"Waaaaah~ I don't understand what Young Master Yang is talking about~"

[You only knew how to cry, but amidst the swirling mist, your exquisite curves seemed even more captivating than before.]

【"Phew~"

The man behind him let out a long breath and gritted his teeth, saying:

"Stop being stubborn. I'm giving you one last chance."

Feeling the burning heat on your neck, you slightly curved your red lips into a smile. Your cultivation technique had already transformed into the Thousand Threads of Passion, and the alluring spiritual energy filled the entire room.

[You leaned into the arms of the person behind you, your soft voice tinged with a hint of grievance:]

"This humble woman is completely limp; I don't understand what you mean by 'hard'~"

【Clang~】

The sound of a dagger hitting the ground rang out; the collapse of reason happened in an instant.

Yang Yan suddenly felt unbearably hot all over, and the person in his arms was the only antidote.

"Huh~?"

[Amidst your gasp, you were enveloped in a warm embrace.]

Your eyes narrowed slightly, and your tone carried an undisguised sarcasm.

"Young Master Yang, what are you doing?"

"Woman! You're playing with fire."

His voice was low and husky, and his arms slowly tightened like iron hoops.

You chuckled softly, your fingertips slowly tracing circles on his chest.

"Let's play then!"

【"Buzz~!"】

A gust of wind swept through, and all the lights inside the house went out.

The night breeze lifted the gauze curtains, concealing the springtime beauty within the room.

【...】

A ray of morning light slanted in through the cracked windowsill.

You furrowed your brow slightly, buried your face in the shoulder of the person beside you, avoiding the glaring light, and let out a soft, dissatisfied snort.

Yang Yan had been awake for some time and had intended to leave.

But seeing your adorable, nestled appearance, he couldn't bear to move.

"Who exactly are you...?"

Yang Yan murmured softly, but the obsession with finding an answer had vanished.

A moment later, you slowly opened your eyes, and as your gazes met, a smile curved your lips.

Before he could speak, she nestled into his arms again. A soft, languid voice, unique to young girls, whispered in her ear:

"Good morning, Brother Yang Yan!"
