Chapter 35: I Am Willing to Do Anything, My Lady
Lin Fengmian was taken aback, “Me?”
He understood that the female members of the city lord couldn’t go to the plaza to be seen, but he couldn’t understand why he was assigned to test their spiritual roots.
“Yes! Don’t you want to?”
Liu Mei walked over to him and smiled, “You can communicate more with the ladies; they won’t absorb your essence.
Lin Fengmian immediately understood the deeper meaning of her words and quickly said, “Sister, you’re joking.”
“I’m not joking, in the eyes of outsiders, you are an immortal.”
Liu Mei chuckled, “I absorb you, and you can absorb them. Go ahead, just don’t forget to come back.”
Under Liu Mei’s teasing, Lin Fengmian left with the pills with a strange expression on his face.
He arrived at the city lord’s courtyard, explained his purpose, and was ushered in by a beautiful maid.
The maid kept looking at Lin Fengmian on the way, her eyes filled with admiration, and she blushed every time he spoke to her.
Everyone they met on the way greeted him respectfully, their eyes filled with envy and awe.
This made him remember Liu Mei’s words; in Liu Mei’s eyes, he might be a disciple, but to ordinary people, he was not.
When he saw the city lord’s wife, Lin Fengmian was also surprised.
He had expected her to be a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties, but she was only in her early thirties, dressed in a red palace robe, looking dignified and elegant.
It seemed that she was not the original wife of the city lord.
The slightly plump but open-minded city lord’s wife greeted Lin Fengmian, “Greetings, Immortal.”
The other ladies also greeted Lin Fengmian, each with their own charm, making it dizzying.
Although the city lord was ugly, his wives and concubines were all beautiful, mostly young and pretty, some even younger than his daughter.
However, Lin Fengmian had seen this many times in the mundane world and was no longer surprised.
“Madam, you are too kind. My Senior Sister ordered me to bring you these beauty pills,” Lin Fengmian said as he took out the bottle of pills.
The women in the room all lit up, what woman doesn’t love beauty? The beauty pills in Lin Fengmian’s hand were a treasure to them.
“Thank you, Immortal.”
The city lord’s wife took the bottle of pills, and her hand lightly brushed his palm, making Lin Fengmian a bit startled.
However, when he looked closely, she was as dignified as ever and put the pills down as if nothing had happened.
The city lord’s wife said to the other women, “I’ll keep these pills here for now; I’ll inform the city lord and then distribute them.”
Although the other women had objections, they didn’t dare say much, just nodded in agreement.
“My Senior Sister also instructed me to test the spiritual roots of the women here. Are these all the female members in the residence?” Lin Fengmian asked with a smile.
“Yes, Immortal, they are all here,” the city lord’s wife said with a smile.
Lin Fengmian took out the spirit testing instrument and tested the spiritual roots of the ladies, including the maids.
The courtyard was filled with chatter and a fragrant breeze that made Lin Fengmian dizzy.
At first, Lin Fengmian thought it was just a formality, but he unexpectedly found a woman with spiritual roots.
It was the city lord’s daughter, just a young girl, who was thrilled to learn that she had spiritual roots and hugged Lin Fengmian, jumping up and down.
“Immortal, can I really cultivate?”
Lin Fengmian smiled, “I’ll have to ask my Senior Sister and inform you later, but it shouldn’t be a problem.”
Although the girl’s spiritual roots were not outstanding, she was young, which met the Joyful Union Sect’s criteria for female disciples.
The girl excitedly kissed Lin Fengmian on the cheek, surprising him.
The city lord’s wife quickly stopped her and apologized to Lin Fengmian, “Yan’er is usually undisciplined, please forgive her, Immortal.”
Lin Fengmian realized that the girl named Yan’er was actually her daughter, which was a bit unexpected.
He smiled, “It’s okay.”
After the test, only the city lord’s daughter had spiritual roots, the others did not.
One woman did not want to accept the fact and asked, “Master, can’t I cultivate immortality?”
Others focused on Lin Fengmian and boldly asked, “Immortal, how many years have you been cultivating? How old are you this year?”
“Immortal, it is said that immortals can keep their youth and live forever, right?”
“…”
The ladies who had been secluded in their homes surrounded the elegant Lin Fengmian, asking him questions incessantly.
Surrounded by them, Lin Fengmian felt the fragrant breeze and the overwhelming waves from the ladies, making him feel like he was on top of the world.
Facing this group of overwhelming women, his fists couldn’t help but clench.
At that moment, the city lord’s wife coughed, “What kind of behavior is this? All of you, go back, don’t interfere with the immortal’s cultivation!”
