In the bustling city of Yundu, there is a restaurant called "Yunmengze," which is a place where many cultivators in the city rest and socialize.
As the sun sets, golden rays bathe every corner of the restaurant, giving the ancient building a bright glow.
Inside the restaurant, the air was filled with the lively sounds and the aroma of wine, as many cultivators exchanged their insights and discussed the Dao.
A man in purple sat by the window, his eyes as deep as the night sky. He took a sip of sake, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes. A faint smile played on his lips, and the surrounding noise did not bother him.
Laughter and cheerful voices echoed through the streets, and strange and unusual people and events were as numerous as the stars in the sky, each using their own methods to seek development in this prosperous city.
Two stunningly beautiful girls weaved through the crowd, running like they were chasing stars and the moon. They wore light dresses, their faces beaming with innocent smiles, their eyes shining brightly and clearly, as they were drawn to all sorts of novel things.
"Sister Mengli, wait for me!"
They played in the street, chasing each other, their silvery laughter echoing in the air, attracting the attention of many people.
When they saw the two women's faces clearly, their eyes were filled with amazement.
The man in purple seemed to sense something. He put down his wine cup, raised his eyes, and saw Feng Xi weaving through the crowd. He was immediately awestruck by her beauty.
That stunning beauty, that innocent smile, those clear, water-like eyes—she was like a secluded orchid that had stepped out of the mortal world, untouched by any desire in the bustling metropolis.
He saw them jumping and playing in the streets, as if the whole world was filled with joy.
A smile unconsciously crept onto the purple-clad man's lips, and all the frustration and irritability in his heart vanished.
He waved his hand, and the void space rotated slightly. Suddenly, an old man in a gray robe appeared, suppressing his aura, and respectfully said to the man, "Young Master Gu, is there anything you need to instruct this old servant?"
"I need all her information within a day."
"I am dressed in purple," said the young master Gu calmly, his gaze lingering on Fengxi's departing figure.
"I never expected to find such a stunning woman in Yundu City. She's certainly qualified to be my maid!" he said softly.
The gray-robed old man bowed and left. He was used to this kind of thing. No matter how stunning a woman was, as long as Young Master Gu made a move, there was no woman he couldn't have.
Fengxi and Liu Xiangxun played from day to night, completely absorbed in their fun. The city of Yundu was brightly lit and even more lively than during the day.
The night was as dark as ink, enveloping the bustling night market.
Moonlight filtered through the veil of clouds, casting hazy shadows on the trees along the street.
Fengxi wore a light purple dress, the hem of which swayed gently with her steps. Her long eyelashes fluttered like an elf, carrying a touch of playfulness. Her hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, shimmering with a faint luster.
In the center of the night market, there is a huge acrobatic stage.
On the stage, various acrobatic performances are in full swing.
Fengxi and Liu Xiangxun stood in the crowd, their eyes drawn to a man performing a trapeze act.
The man was dressed in red, his movements light and graceful. Then, flames erupted from his clothes, like a phoenix rising from the ashes and soaring through the sky.
His every movement was full of power and beauty, leaving the audience in awe and eliciting cheers from below the stage.
Fengxi and Liu Xiangxun gasped in amazement, their large eyes fixed on the flying phoenix, every movement of which was incredibly lifelike.
The two girls clapped excitedly, their faces flushed, clearly enjoying the acrobatic performance.
"Mengli, you're back?"
As Fengxi clapped excitedly, a gentle, refined voice came from behind her. Curious, she turned around and saw a man in a light blue robe standing behind her. After recognizing her face, he exclaimed excitedly, "It really is you! That's wonderful! I knew you were alright!"
Feng Xi frowned, recalling that this guy seemed to be Qin Tian, the young master of the Qin family, which was one of the four great families alongside the Liu family. He was very talented and had reached the Nascent Soul stage at the age of twenty-five, making him a prodigy of the Qin family.
"Hehe, do you need to worry about whether our Mengli is alright? Go and curry favor with your Liu Wanqing!" Liu Xiangxun said rudely, holding Fengxi's arm.
She pulled Fengxi away, but Qin Tian followed like a leech, saying, "Mengli, you've misunderstood me. I have nothing to do with Liu Wanqing!"
"Tch, you're so shameless. Even a magic weapon couldn't cut through your skin. A scumbag like you who's fickle and shameless should get as far away from you as possible." Liu Xiangxun rolled her eyes at him, her eyes full of disgust.
If I weren't outmatched, I would definitely go up and punch him twice, then give him a leg kick that would break his manhood, to tell him that a toad shouldn't dream of eating swan meat.
"This is between Mengli and me, and it's none of our business!"
Qin Tian was somewhat annoyed. He was a famous prodigy in the Four Saints County, the number one among the younger generation of the Qin family. He was born a star and was always the center of attention. When had he ever been mocked and humiliated like this?
"Oh, we're sisters, so what are you? Don't push your luck, or if you anger Sister Mengli, she'll kick you and show you why your shoe print is so big," Liu Xiangxun said sarcastically.
She despises this kind of person the most.
Fengxi nodded in agreement, realizing that this was how arguments could be conducted; she had learned something new.
"Mengli and I were betrothed since childhood, I am her fiancé!" Qin Tian said coldly.
"Oh, do you even deserve it?" Liu Xiangxun said in a strange tone, "During the years when Sister Mengli became a cripple, you never came to see her even once. Instead, you were out enjoying romantic moments with Liu Wanqing."
"Sister Mengli, do you think this disgusting man is worthy of being your fiancé?" She hugged Fengxi's slender waist, rested her head on her shoulder, and asked sarcastically.
Feng Xizhen nodded slightly, saying with disdain, "He's not worthy. My Shishi is better than him. He's kind of disgusting to look at."
She wished the man would just explode on the spot; it would be terrible if her brother found out.
"Mengli, let me explain!" Qin Tian grabbed her wrist as the two women were about to leave.
"Smack!"
He tried to explain, but instead received a hard slap across the face, leaving a clear handprint that stung painfully.
"Qin Tian, if you want to be with Liu Wanqing, go find her. Don't disgust me! Just seeing you makes me want to vomit," Feng Xi said.
She had seen the original owner Liu Mengli's memories. Qin Tian was indeed Liu Mengli's fiancé. The two had met a few times before, but she was still young and didn't think there was anything special about it.
After Liu Mengli was crippled, Liu Wanqing flaunted Qin Tian in front of her. Now that he sees her rebuilding her spiritual veins, he still dares to come over shamelessly. He's a truly disgusting man.
Qin Tian turned his head to the side, tightening his grip slightly. His expression changed slightly as he tried to control his emotions, and he said, "Mengli, I was immature before. Can you forgive me?"
"No, get out! I don't want to see that disgusting face again!" Feng Xi said coldly.
She forcefully broke free of his grasp, her face as cold as ice, her tone devoid of any warmth; this ugly creature had enraged her.
What a bastard, daring to touch me.
"Mengli, no matter what, our betrothal since childhood is a fait accompli!" Qin Tian said.
Fengxi looked at him with an idiotic expression. It was Liu Mengli who was betrothed to her since childhood, what did it have to do with her?
"Young Master Qin, you may be shameless, but I am. If Patriarch Qin knew that his son was so useless, he would definitely regret having you." She said bluntly, showing no respect whatsoever.
When dealing with shameless men, you can't be nice to them. The more agreeable you are, the more they will take advantage of you.
"If you could openly admit your relationship with Liu Wanqing, I might think more highly of you. Unfortunately, you didn't. In my eyes, you're not even a man."
After speaking, she and Liu Xiangxun ignored Qin Tian and walked away chatting and laughing.
Qin Tian clenched his fists, his face ashen. They had planted quite a few members of the Qin family in Yundu City.
Upon hearing that Liu Mengli had made a powerful return, humiliated Liu Wanqing, and gained the support of many elders, he rushed over without stopping.
He originally thought that with his fame and the support of the Qin family, as long as he said a few sweet words and flattered Liu Mengli, she would eventually choose to make up with him no matter how much she threw a tantrum.
But she slapped him hard across the face. The disgust and rejection in her eyes, the sarcasm and belittling in her words, were all very real.
They didn't give him a chance because he was the young master of the Qin family, and they didn't take him seriously at all.
"Whether you admit it or not, you cannot disobey the wishes of your parents and the words of the matchmaker. I will still become your husband."
He watched Fengxi and the other person leave, his gaze deep and cold.
"Sister Mengli, you were so awesome just now!" Liu Xiangxun was overjoyed.
Although she had never met Qin Tian, his affair with Liu Mengli and Liu Wanqing had already spread throughout the Liu family, and many people had used this affair to mock Liu Mengli.
Therefore, she felt extremely disgusted with people like Qin Tian, a typical scumbag.
"Once I become stronger in a while, I'll definitely crush him under my feet and show him he's nothing but a bug," Fengxi said smugly.
I had just broken through to the Golden Core Realm and was no match for him. Otherwise, I would have gone over and kicked him a couple of times to show him what wishful thinking really meant.
“That man is shameless. I’m afraid he’ll go home and bring this up with your father, and then we’ll have to get married as soon as possible!” Liu Xiangxun said.
"Hmph, in two years, once I take over as the head of the family, I'll be in charge of the entire Liu family. Anyone who dares to bring this up will be crippled!" Feng Xi said domineeringly.
"Sister Mengli, you're amazing!" Liu Xiangxun looked at her with admiration. No one could stop her from doing whatever she wanted. Anyone who dared to make her marry someone she didn't like was making things difficult for her, not even her own father.
If she had this talent, she could also do what she loves.
"Don't be afraid, I'll protect you. As long as I'm here, I'll kill anyone in the Liu family who dares to bully you!" Fengxi patted her shoulder and said.
