At that moment, in the guest hall of the Lin Family…
A young girl wearing a long dress with flowing sleeves was sitting there with an indifferent expression, looking like a virgin.
The young girl had delicate features and a beautiful face. Her fair skin was so soft that it seemed as if she couldn't leave the slightest damage on her foes.
She also had a great figure with voluptuous curves. Her silky black hair was tied into a bun, making her look very elegant.
She was Nalan Ruoxi, the current genius of the Nalan family.
Speaking of Nalan Ruoxi, she was a renowned genius of the Dongxuan Mystic Realm and a goddess-level figure in the hearts of countless men.
She broke through to the fifth level of true spirit when she was only 16 years old.
To the Mystic Realm, this was naturally nothing. In fact, it could even be considered very bad.
However, the rules of the lower realm were different.
Anyone who could reach the fifth level of true spirit at the age of 16 in the Tianxuan Continent was already considered an extremely talented genius.
"Hehe, how did Niece Nalan have the time to come to the Lin Clan?"
A square-faced middle-aged man sitting on the main seat said with a smile.
He was the patriarch of the Lin family and Lin Feng's father, Lin Zhentian.
"Uncle Lin, it's been a while." Nalan Ruoxi behaved very politely.
Even though she was from a prestigious family that lived in seclusion, she was still very modest at the moment.
This made Lin Zhentian very satisfied.
Who would have thought that the seriously injured old man whom he accidentally saved back then was actually the grand patriarch of the Nalan family?
By doing so, his son would have a wonderful wife.
Lin Zhentian chuckled.
Although his son was a good-for-nothing, he would still be a high and mighty figure if he could marry Nalan Ruoxi.
Even the entire Lin family would become a phoenix from a branch, becoming a great family that no one in the entire Dongxuan Mystic Realm would dare to provoke.
As for breaking off the engagement, Lin Zhentian never thought about that at all.
In his opinion, the Nalan family would never be ungrateful.
Just when Lin Zhentian was having a wonderful dream…
Lin Feng and Zi Yan arrived at the door.
When Lin Feng saw Nalan Ruoxi, he couldn't help but be amazed.
Nalan Ruoxi was very beautiful and elegant.
Any man would've fallen in love at first sight.
Even Lin Feng was no exception.
However, his heart sank at the thought of his useless status.
He was not dreaming like Lin Zhentian.
A toad still had the consciousness of a toad.
It would be difficult for him to eat the swan meat!
Upon seeing Lin Feng's arrival, Lin Zhentian hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Brat, why aren't you coming over to greet Miss Nalan?"
With a sullen expression, Lin Feng looked at Nalan Ruoxi.
Nalan Ruoxi also looked at Lin Feng with her beautiful eyes.
Lin Feng had a handsome face and a determined expression.
Although he was a well-known piece of trash, Nalan Ruoxi didn't feel any contempt or disgust for him.
"Sir Lin." Nalan Ruoxi nodded slightly.
"Nalan Ruoxi, what are you doing here?" Lin Feng asked.
Lin Zhentian glared at Lin Feng and said, "Rascal, what are you talking about?"
Nalan Ruoxi let out a sigh of relief. With a tinge of remorse in her beautiful eyes, she said, "I'm sorry, but Ruoxi is here to end the engagement today. Ruoxi is so focused on her cultivation that she has no intention of getting married."
His words silenced the entire hall.
All the members of the Lin Family wore ugly expressions.
Lin Zhentian found it even more unbelievable.
His beautiful dream was shattered.
"As expected, Nalan Ruoxi… you!" Lin Feng raised his eyebrows and clenched his fist tightly. His nails pierced deeply into his palm, bringing about a piercing pain.
Beside her, Zi Yan's expression was also very cold.
"Ruoxi is not blaming you for your cultivation level, Sir Lin. It's just that it's not appropriate. As for compensation, the Nalan family will support the Lin family. We have all kinds of resources."
Nalan Lanxi's tone was calm. She was not arrogant at all. Instead, she sounded apologetic and guilty.
On the other hand, Lin Feng couldn't help but berate her. "Nalan Ruoxi, you slut! How dare you humiliate the Lin Family!"
"How dare you!" An old woman behind Nalan Ruoxi shouted coldly as the aura of the Void Spirit Stage erupted.
This aura even made Lin Zhentian's heart tremble.
His cultivation was only at the Divine Flame Stage; he had yet to reach the Ninth Stage of the Saint Ascension Stage.
Even a mere servant of the Nalan family had a higher cultivation base than him.
"With your noble status, there is no need for you to go through all that trouble. Just send someone here and you'll be dismissed with a few words!"
"However, she still chose to apologize to you personally. She was sincere and willing to compensate you with so many resources!"
"In the end, all you got was to yell at me like that. What a bunch of unruly people!"
The old woman couldn't help but yell.
She truly felt indignant for Nalan Ruoxi.
Nalan Ruoxi stopped her and said, "Grandma Liu, don't say anymore. Ruoxi is indeed in the wrong here. Sir Lin should just scold her."
"Heh, what kind of sincere attitude is that? I'm just looking down on you. Don't worry, I, Lin Feng, am no match for a white swan like you," Lin Feng sneered.
"I will deliver all the compensation resources. I'm truly sorry, Ruoxi." Nalan Ruoxi was still sincere.
"Take the resources then. The Lin Clan doesn't lack any of them!" Lin Zhentian's face also sank. His dream of raising the entire clan to become a phoenix was completely shattered.
Nalan Ruoxi sighed to herself.
She had no other choice.
"Get out of my sight, you slut! I, Lin Feng, will be in the Nalan Clan for three years… No, one year. One year is all it takes for me to defeat you!"
Lin Feng shouted. He simply could not bear such humiliation.
From the beginning to the end, Nalan Ruoxi never once insulted him.
"My apologies." Nalan Ruoxi bowed slightly and was about to leave.
At that moment, Zi Yan stood in front of Nalan Ruoxi to shield her.
"You…" Nalan Ruoxi was confused.
"If you underestimate Brother Lin Feng, both you and the Nalan family behind you will pay the price!" Zi Yan's tone was cold.
Nalan Ruoxi glanced at Zi Yan and left.
"Ah… damn it!"
Lin Feng ran out of the main hall in a rage.
Although he was reluctant to admit it, he did fantasize about marrying Nalan Ruoxi.
After all, who wouldn't want to marry a genius like her?
Although Lin Feng was reluctant to admit it, his body was very honest.
Now that Nalan Ruoxi had turned him down, it was undoubtedly tearing apart his last bit of hope.
That was why Lin Feng was so furious.
After running for an unknown period of time, Lin Feng finally reached a lake.
He couldn't help but jump in. He wanted to calm himself down and sink to the bottom of the lake.
At that moment, he found a mass of colorful, mercury-like substance at the bottom of the lake.
"What is this?" Lin Feng couldn't help but gently tap his finger.
All of a sudden, a mass of colorful matter entered Lin Feng's body.
Instantly, Lin Feng felt everything in the universe, the world, and everything else flash before his eyes.
The sun, the moon, the stars, the shifting of the stars, the changing of all things, and the rules of the universe.
It felt like a second had passed, yet it also felt like a lifetime.
By the time Lin Feng came to his senses, he was already by the lake.
"World Essence…"
For some reason, Lin Feng suddenly uttered those words.
