In the bitterly cold mountain stream, Bai Feng was cooling down his burning body.
"Splash." Water droplets scattered as a light cyan gauze drifted down and landed on his head.
Through the gauze, he caught sight of a breathtakingly seductive, mutton-fat-white feminine physique.
Boom!
Bai Feng’s eyes glazed over, his brain short-circuiting instantly!
Never in his wildest dreams had he expected this!
His master, usually so shy, cold, and elegantly graceful, was actually embracing him.
"Master, are you... are you suffering a deviation in your cultivation? You really can't..."
Full of young, hot-blooded vigor, his breathing instantly turned heavy.
"Close your eyes and stop looking around..."
With his master's shy yet nervous, forceful and solemn voice ringing out, Bai Feng watched helplessly as he, a grown man, was completely overwhelmed and conquered.
"Master, what about us?"
After a whole morning of tumultuous passion, looking at his master who had redressed in her cyan gauze and feeling the surging energy rolling within his body, Bai Feng wore a deeply complex and astonished expression.
"You possess the Profound Yang Sacred Physique and need to unite with nine virgins of dense Yin Essence in order to survive. My Yin Essence is dense, and I have already helped you get through your first mortal tribulation."
"Furthermore, I received news that Miss Xu has run into trouble these past few days. Take the betrothal letter and head down the mountain. With your current cultivation level, it is the right time to thoroughly investigate the case of your adoptive parents' murder."
While Bai Feng was still stunned, a piece of paper floated directly in front of him.
"Master, what about the future?" Looking at his master's graceful back, Bai Feng did not know how to bring it up.
His master had often told him that the Profound Yang Sacred Physique was the strongest cultivation constitution in the world, but he had to overcome nine mortal tribulations within a certain time limit, otherwise his body would be burst apart by the pure Yang energy and he would die a painful death.
He had previously suspected that he was the Profound Yang Sacred Physique, but never had he expected it to be true!
Even less did he expect that his master would proactively help him survive the most dangerous first mortal tribulation!
"Keep this matter to yourself for now. Go, or else your little girlfriend will be in trouble if you delay any longer."
Nangong Shuyun lightly tapped her toes and vanished deep into the sea of clouds, as if she had never appeared at all.
"I never thought that in order to save myself, there would truly come a day when I gave myself away. Now that this brat's divine dragon has truly entered the world, he is bound to soar straight into the sky."
At the summit of the sea of clouds, Nangong Shuyun, draped in cyan gauze, murmured to herself as she watched the figure of her disciple Bai Feng, her eyes flickering with a tenderness she had never shown before.
"Master, don't worry, I will definitely come looking for you."
Bai Feng knew that even if he stayed, his master would not show herself again, so he had no choice but to leave with the betrothal letter.
Several hours later, in Fengcheng beyond the Great Wall, North Gate Plaza.
The excitement and anticipation that had previously filled Bai Feng's heart instantly froze on his face.
Right in front of him, on a towering billboard, was an engagement banquet photograph inviting all the young men and women of the city.
The bride's photo and name were none other than his fiancée, Xu Shuyin!
His fiancée was getting married, but the groom was not him!
Boom!
Monstrous anger surged in Bai Feng's heart! Raging flames flickered in his eyes!
Thinking of how Xu Shuyin had cried her eyes out when she descended the mountain back then, saying she would wait for him no matter what happened, Bai Feng felt even more anxious and furious.
He firmly believed that his fiancée Xu Shuyin must have been subjected to oppression and coercion!
Two years ago, he had returned from overseas.
His master had asked him to attentively care for Xu Shuyin, who was tormented by illness and looked pitiful. Spending day after day together, the two of them naturally developed mutual affection.
During that time, he learned that Xu Shuyin possessed the Profound Yin Phoenix Physique, which was why she was frequently plagued and tormented by the Yin-cold toxins breeding within her body.
Once, when his life was endangered by a physical relapse, Xu Shuyin unhesitatingly used her blood marrow to save him. This deepened and strengthened the emotional bond between them, and they privately pledged their lives to one another.
When his master and Elder Xu learned of this, they specially established a formal betrothal.
He had once promised his fiancée Xu Shuyin with his own lips that he would personally lead her into the Hall of Marriage!
Half an hour later, Bai Feng rushed to the Yuehai Central District, outside Fengyan Pavilion.
"Just thinking about goddess Xu marrying that good-for-nothing scion of the Zhang Family makes my chest feel so stifled and miserable."
"It's just because the Zhang Family claimed they could help the Xu Family reach a partnership with Xianyun Group that the Xu Family treated goddess Xu like a piece of merchandise and handed her over to Zhang Shihao. Not a single elder from the Xu Family even showed up for this engagement banquet. How utterly devoid of human warmth."
"I heard goddess Xu has always refused this marriage, but she couldn't withstand Matriarch Xu's threats of death. Besides, that scion of the Zhang Family acts extremely arrogantly and tyrannically, and goddess Xu is just a weak girl who simply can't hold out against them."
"Damn it, that bastard Zhang Shihao even publicly declared that once the banquet is over, he's going to sleep with goddess Xu. I hope that dog drops dead before he gets to do it."
A crowd of Xu Shuyin's admirers whispered among themselves, their eyes filled with envy and jealousy, before rapidly swarming inward through the side doors on either side.
Even though they knew very well that Zhang Shihao was hosting this banquet for all the young men and women of the city purely to show off!
Yet they still couldn't help coming, just to catch one last glimpse of Xu Shuyin's lovely countenance before she became a married woman, bidding a final farewell to the goddess of their dreams.
Swish!
Hearing the surrounding chatter, Bai Feng radiated a monstrous chill from his entire body.
"Look at that, even a beggar is having ideas about our goddess Xu."
When they saw Bai Feng wearing an old, coarse white cloth robe walking straight in through the main entrance and stepping onto the red carpet pathway,
the people swarming outside the banquet hall froze abruptly, their eyes wide with disbelief, thinking they were seeing things!
Zhang Shihao had explicitly declared that today, whoever dared to step foot onto the red carpet would have both legs broken!
