She wore a corset-style tank top with only a single strap around her neck, barely covering her impressive chest and revealing her slender waist.

She wore a pleated skirt that revealed her slender calves. She was barefoot, with a string of bells hanging from her ankles that jingled as she walked.

Gu Fei had never seen such a charming woman before; girls in the capital would never dress like this.

Even his own wife had to wear an undergarment when sleeping, and she was even less allowed to expose her body, not even a section of her wrist, let alone her entire foot.

He stared blankly at the woman in front of him, and the woman looked back at him.

Having grown accustomed to the men of Miao region, Lan Lingjing couldn't help but take a second look at the outsider.

As the saintess, she had a mission tonight. She remembered the witch saying that she should try to choose outsiders, so that the children left behind would be smarter.

So when she arrived, she looked at this unusual person.

Unexpectedly, this stranger was exceptionally good-looking, not only with a tall and straight figure but also with a handsome face.

Lan Lingjing was immediately satisfied. She took out her purse and threw it at Gu Fei, who caught it.

His action was completely subconscious; he had long forgotten what the waiter had said. Perhaps, subconsciously, he was also willing to have something happen with this beauty.

Soon, two maids came over and politely invited Gu Fei to get into the sedan chair and sit with the beauty. Only then did he realize the woman's stunning beauty.

Lan Lingjing chuckled, "What are you looking at, my lord?"

Gu Fei couldn't help but say, "You are truly different; you are the most special woman I have ever met."

Lan Lingjing extended her slender hand and took Gu Fei's hand in hers.

"My lord, you may enjoy this moment. Tonight, I am yours."

Gu Fei suddenly felt that this custom in Miao territory was truly wonderful.

Through the light gauze, he seemed to see Yu Dunhua waving at him. He must be jealous of him. Gu Fei chuckled.

The sedan chair passed through the street and entered an exquisite wooden building. Lan Lingjing took Gu Fei's hand, and the two closed the wooden door.

Gu Fei remained in a daze, believing he was dreaming. The dream was so beautiful that he wished he could remain in it forever, never to awaken.

?

The next morning, when Gu Fei opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the beautiful woman's big, watery eyes from the night before.

"My lord, you're awake? Let me help you get dressed."

Lan Lingjing brought over a set of Miao men's clothing to dress Gu Fei.

"No need, I'll just wear my own clothes. Should I go now?"

Gu Fei was a little reluctant to part with the beauty, but he remembered that he had official duties to attend to and still needed to negotiate with the Miao King.

Lan Lingjing smiled, "Where is my husband going? We already made love last night, so we should be married today."

Gu Fei was taken aback. Wasn't he supposed to be able to leave the next day? He asked the question without thinking.

Lan Lingjing shook her head. "Ordinary people can, of course, but I am a saintess, and my husband must marry me."

Gu Fei was terrified. He didn't want to stay in this barbaric land and have to rely on the Holy Maiden to survive.

He had naturally heard of the saintess's name, so he was secretly anxious at this moment.

The holy maiden of Miao territory does not belong to the king of Miao territory, but to the power of the shaman.

Since ancient times, the shaman has held the position of sorcerer, and even the king of Miao territory treated him with great respect.

The Wizarding Temple has a total of ten saintesses. The purpose of these saintesses is to give birth to the next candidate for wizard.

Lan Lingjing was overjoyed to have met such an outstanding person.

She touched her belly; perhaps a little life was already inside, who might one day inherit the position of wizard, and then her status...

Thinking of this, her smile softened even more, and she stepped forward to nestle in Gu Fei's arms.

"My lord, the village is already preparing for the wedding today. After the ceremony, we will be husband and wife."

Gu Fei held the petite and adorable saintess in his arms, but all he could think about was how to escape.

Lan Lingjing looked at Gu Fei with a worried expression and felt a little displeased. It should be his honor to marry the Holy Maiden, so why was he so worried?

However, she still asked in a considerate manner.

"Why do you look so worried, my lord? Today is a joyous occasion."

Seeing how gentle Lan Lingjing was, Gu Fei unconsciously revealed his identity.

“Holy Maiden, I am the King Kang Le of the Taihe Dynasty. I have come to Miao territory on a mission and cannot linger here.”

Subconsciously, he concealed the fact that he was already married and had children.

Lan Lingjing's heart skipped a beat. "Kang Le Wang is good. This way, her child can have a higher status."

However, she couldn't keep Prince Kang Le. Not only was he an important minister of the Taihe Dynasty, but even if he didn't want to stay, she couldn't keep him.

"Since you have no intention of staying, please do as you please. However, from now on, I can only express my longing in my dreams."

Lan Lingjing silently shed tears, making Gu Fei feel like a heartless person.

"Holy Maiden, don't cry, I..."

He couldn't say anything about staying, nor was he capable of taking responsibility.

It is not easy for the Holy Maiden Temple to cultivate a Holy Maiden, and they will not easily let her go.
