132: Dong Xuan'er's Inner Demon

Lin Feng looked at the woman in his arms, her eyes hazy and filled with resentment, and he felt a hint of admiration.

He admired Old Devil Han.

In the original work, Old Devil Han could patiently deal with a spoiled and unruly woman like Dong Xuan'er, which truly showed his extraordinary Heart-Nature and cultivation.

But Lin Feng was not Han Li.

Coming from modern times, he knew that if a person's values were not correctly guided in their youth, they would only be battered and bruised by the cruel reality after entering society.

The Dong Xuan'er before him was exactly like that.

If such a small matter could fester in her heart and turn into a Heart Demon, how could she ever hope to achieve success in the Dao later on?

Senior Aunt Hong Fu was busy with Sect affairs all year round, perhaps neglecting her upbringing.

Then today, he would act as her mother and teach this little fairy a good lesson.

Thinking of this, the last trace of warmth in Lin Feng's eyes receded, and a soft and pure white light lit up on his fingertip.

He flicked his finger, and the white light disappeared into Dong Xuan'er's glabella.

[Clear Mind Spell]

Dong Xuan'er trembled all over, the haziness and resentment in her eyes receding like a tide, replaced by clarity and the ensuing panic.

She clearly saw that she was leaning in a man's arms, and this man was Lin Feng, whom she longed for day and night but dared not meet.

"Senior... Senior Brother?"

She exclaimed, quickly struggling to get up, her expression full of unease.

"How are you here?"

She fumbled to stand firm and bow, after all, Lin Feng's current status was akin to her Grandmaster.

But she had just forcefully circulated her Cultivation Technique, already suffering from internal injuries, and now, with her mind in turmoil, her legs went soft, and she almost knelt down again.

Lin Feng reached out and supported her, a gentle stream of magical power steadying her.

"It's alright, Junior Sister Dong, no need to force yourself with your injuries."

His voice was calm, showing no emotion.

"Between you and me, it's not that unfamiliar yet."

When Dong Xuan'er heard the address "Junior Sister Dong," her heart was a mix of emotions, and her eyes instantly reddened.

This address seemed to pull her back years ago, to the days outside Yan Family Fortress when he had protected her all the way.

Lin Feng, however, frowned, and his tone suddenly turned sharp.

"Junior Sister Dong, if I hadn't suddenly visited today, I'm afraid no one would have discovered that you had already developed a Heart Demon and nearly suffered Qi Deviation. Do you yourself know the reason for this?"

"Heart Demon..."

Dong Xuan'er murmured, her face turning somewhat pale.

She instinctively looked at Lin Feng, her eyes darting away, her heart filled with hesitation and struggle.

Lin Feng looked at her expression, and a hint of a sneer entered his voice.

"What, Junior Sister Dong, I called you Junior Sister, and you don't even dare to tell Senior Brother the truth?"

"Back then, on the way to Yan Family Fortress, you didn't even put Senior Brother in your eyes, did you?"

These words made Dong Xuan'er a little embarrassed, her face flushing.

Then she suddenly looked up, bit her silver teeth, and the long-suppressed resentment finally burst out.

"Isn't it all because of you, Senior Brother!"

Her voice was tearful, seemingly full of grievance.

"That time at Yan Family Fortress, Senior Brother, you protected me all the way. Later, even Master was able to escape because of Senior Brother..."

The more Dong Xuan'er spoke, the stronger the resentment in her voice became.

"But after Senior Brother rescued me and settled me in Yanyue Sect, he never came to see me again! For so many years, there has been no news!"

"Senior Brother... you are too much!"

Lin Feng listened quietly, his heart already understanding.

He was somewhat shocked by this little fairy's peculiar way of thinking, but he also roughly understood the beginning and end of the matter.

Dong Xuan'er, pampered under Hong Fu's wings since childhood, had developed a somewhat unrestrained personality due to her Cultivation Technique.

But the cinnabar mark on her arm, personally placed by Hong Fu, was still intact.

This indicated that she essentially understood very little about matters between men and women, and could even be said to be a blank slate.

She could neither understand her mother Hong Fu's difficulties in relationships nor the true way for men and women to get along.

When he had just examined her body, the System panel clearly showed that Dong Xuan'er's bond with him had reached an astonishing (140/200) affection.

This value was already almost the same as Han Yunzhi and Xin Ruyin, who were constantly by his side.

It showed the intensity of "self-strategy" she had been carrying out alone in her Immortal Cave all these years.

She imagined herself as the infatuated heroine in a storybook, and Lin Feng as the unfaithful man who saved her but then "abandoned her."

Day after day, year after year, in this distorted fantasy, it would be strange if she didn't develop a Heart Demon.

Understanding this, Lin Feng not only didn't get angry but instead laughed.

"Junior Sister, why don't you tell me specifically, how was Senior Brother 'too much'?"

His smile was very gentle.

Dong Xuan'er was stunned by his question, she opened her mouth, but didn't know where to begin.

Lin Feng didn't give her time to think and continued, "Back then at Yan Family Fortress, Senior Brother was only at Core Formation cultivation. To save you from the Yan Family, how much risk did I take, has Junior Sister ever thought about it?"

"Later, I settled you and Junior martial sister together in Yanyue Sect, do you know why?"

Dong Xuan'er was somewhat speechless.

Lin Feng's voice suddenly rose a few octaves.

"Because soon after, the Six Demonic Path Sects would invade Yue Country in full force! Huangfeng Valley would bear the brunt, its fate hanging by a thread!"

"If Senior Brother hadn't settled you in Yanyue Sect in advance, did you think I wanted you to fall into danger with me and your mother, Senior Aunt Hong Fu, while protecting you?"

"But... but Senior Brother, you've been gone for so many years..." Dong Xuan'er still wanted to argue, but her voice had already weakened.

Lin Feng directly interrupted her, a hint of weariness in his tone.

"Do you think Senior Brother has been traveling and enjoying the scenery all these years?"

"After escaping the encirclement of the Demonic Path pursuers, I narrowly escaped death, and occasionally had insights, so I went into seclusion to break through to Nascent Soul. That Heavenly Tribulation for Nascent Soul, how dangerous it is, a slight mistake means death and the vanishing of the Dao!"

"I was fortunate enough to succeed, and the first thing I did was rush to save your Junior Martial Uncle Nangong Wan! If I hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable!"

"After that, I took your Junior Martial Uncle Nangong, Junior martial sister, and the remaining Disciples of the Sect, and we traveled and relocated to the current Falling Cloud Sect, finding a place for thousands of Disciples to settle down. How many matters had to be handled, how many crises had to be dealt with, have you ever thought about it?"

"How could I have time to worry about your little bit of romantic feelings?"

His words were not fast, but each word was like a giant boulder, heavily striking Dong Xuan'er's heart.

Dong Xuan'er fell completely silent.

She stood there blankly, her face turning from red to white, then from white to green.

The self-centered, decades-long tragic picture of herself and Lin Feng in her mind was mercilessly torn to shreds at this moment.

It turned out that while she was wallowing in self-pity and feeling sorry for herself, the person she resented had been constantly undergoing life-and-death trials.

It turned out that what she thought was "being abandoned by a scumbag" was actually Senior Brother's greatest protection for her.

Her so-called grievances, her girlish resentment, seemed so ridiculous in the face of what Lin Feng described.
