Chapter 163: Chapter 163: The Emergence of the World's Origin
At this moment, in the guest hall of the Lin family clan.
A young girl dressed in a flowing long gown sat gracefully, as pure as a maiden.
This girl had exquisite features and an absolutely stunning face, her snow-white skin was so delicate it seemed it could be broken with a touch, tender enough to squeeze water from.
Her figure was also very good, with curves that flowed elegantly, and her long, black hair was styled into a bun, giving her a serene and graceful appearance.
She was none other than the contemporary pride of the Nalan family, Nalan Ruoxi.
Speaking of Nalan Ruoxi, she was a well-known prodigy in the Eastern Xuan Region, a goddess in the hearts of countless men.
At just sixteen years old, she had already broken through to the fifth level of True Spirit.
In the Immortal Realm, this was naturally not considered impressive, even regarded as quite poor.
But in the lower realms, the rules of heaven and earth were different.
In the Tianxuan Continent, reaching the fifth level of True Spirit at sixteen was already an extremely monstrous talent.
"Hehe, how come my niece Nalan has the time to visit our Lin family clan?"
At the head seat, a middle-aged man with a square face smiled and spoke.
He was Lin Zhen Tian, the clan leader of the Lin family and also Lin Feng's father.
"Uncle Lin, it's been a long time." Nalan Ruoxi's demeanor was very polite and proper.
Even though her status was lofty, being the pride of a hidden family, her attitude was very humble at this moment, showing no arrogance whatsoever.
This made Lin Zhen Tian very pleased.
Who would have thought that the severely injured old man he had saved by chance back then was actually the elder of the Nalan family?
This act had also brought a good daughter-in-law for his son.
Lin Zhen Tian chuckled happily.
Although his son was a waste, if he could marry Nalan Ruoxi, he would still be a person of high status.
Even the entire Lin family would soar to new heights, becoming a prominent family that the entire Eastern Xuan Region would not dare to provoke.
As for breaking off the engagement, Lin Zhen Tian had never even considered that.
In his view, the Nalan family could never be ungrateful.
Just as Lin Zhen Tian was lost in his beautiful dreams.
Outside the door, Lin Feng and Ziyan arrived.
As soon as Lin Feng saw Nalan Ruoxi, a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes.
Nalan Ruoxi was beautiful, her demeanor elegant and serene.
Any man would fall in love at first sight.
Even Lin Feng was no exception.
However, thinking of his waste status, Lin Feng's heart sank slightly.
He was not like Lin Zhen Tian, lost in dreams.
A toad still had the awareness of being a toad.
It was difficult to reach for this swan's meat!
Seeing Lin Feng arrive, Lin Zhen Tian hurriedly waved, "You little rascal, why don't you come over and greet Miss Nalan?"
Lin Feng's expression was calm as he looked at Nalan Ruoxi.
Nalan Ruoxi's beautiful eyes also turned to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng had a handsome appearance and a resolute expression.
Although he was a well-known waste, Nalan Ruoxi showed no disdain or disgust.
"Young Master Lin." Nalan Ruoxi slightly nodded in acknowledgment.
"Nalan Ruoxi, what brings you here?" Lin Feng asked.
"You little rascal, how can you speak like that!" Lin Zhen Tian glared at Lin Feng.
Nalan Ruoxi let out a soft breath, her beautiful eyes filled with a hint of apology, "I'm sorry, today Ruoxi is here to break off the engagement. Ruoxi is focused on cultivation and truly has no thoughts of marriage."
Her words left the hall in dead silence.
The faces of all the Lin family members instantly turned ugly.
Lin Zhen Tian was even more incredulous.
His beautiful dream had shattered.
"Sure enough, Nalan Ruoxi... you!" Lin Feng's brows furrowed, his fists clenched tightly, his nails digging deep into his palm, causing sharp pain.
Beside him, Ziyan's expression was also very cold.
"Ruoxi does not despise Young Master Lin's cultivation; it's just that it's truly not suitable. As for compensation, our Nalan family will support the Lin family with various resources, everything you need."
Nalan Ruoxi spoke calmly, without arrogance, filled with regret and guilt.
On the contrary, Lin Feng couldn't help but shout angrily, "Nalan Ruoxi, you wretched girl, where do you think that leaves the Lin family's dignity!"
"Impudent!" An old woman behind Nalan Ruoxi coldly shouted, a wave of aura from the Void God Realm erupted.
This aura made Lin Zhen Tian's heart tremble.
His cultivation was merely at the Divine Fire Realm, not yet having stepped into the Saintly Nine Levels.
And a mere servant of the Nalan family had a cultivation higher than his.
"With the young lady's noble status, she really doesn't need to go through all this trouble; she could simply send someone to dismiss you with a word!"
"But she still chose to personally come and apologize, her attitude sincere, and is willing to offer you so many resources!"
"Yet you repay her with such insults; truly, it's the uncouth from a poor countryside!"
The old woman couldn't help but scold.
She was genuinely indignant for Nalan Ruoxi.
"Granny Liu, stop it. This matter is indeed Ruoxi's fault; Young Master Lin has the right to scold her," Nalan Ruoxi stopped her.
"Heh, what sincere attitude? It's merely disdain. Rest assured, I, Lin Feng, am not worthy of your swan!" Lin Feng sneered.
"The compensation resources will be delivered; if Ruoxi is truly sorry," Nalan Ruoxi remained sincere.
"Take the resources; our Lin family does not lack these!" Lin Zhen Tian's expression also darkened; his dream of the family soaring like a phoenix was completely shattered.
Nalan Ruoxi sighed inwardly.
She truly had no other choice.
"You wretched girl, get lost! I, Lin Feng, will... no, just one year, as long as it's one year, I will personally go to the Nalan family and defeat you!"
Lin Feng suddenly shouted, unable to endure this humiliation.
Although Nalan Ruoxi had never insulted him with a single word.
"I'm sorry." Nalan Ruoxi slightly bowed and was about to leave.
At that moment, Ziyan stepped in front of Nalan Ruoxi.
"You..." Nalan Ruoxi was puzzled.
"Underestimating Brother Lin Feng, whether it's you or your Nalan family behind you, you will pay the price!" Ziyan's tone was icy.
Nalan Ruoxi glanced at Ziyan and left directly.
"Ah... damn it!"
Lin Feng was filled with rage and ran out of the hall.
Though he was unwilling to admit it, he had indeed fantasized about marrying Nalan Ruoxi.
After all, who wouldn't want to marry such a prodigy?
Lin Feng was reluctant to admit it verbally, but his body was very honest.
Now that Nalan Ruoxi had rejected him, it undoubtedly shattered his last shred of hope.
That was why Lin Feng was so humiliated and furious.
Lin Feng didn't know how long he ran, eventually reaching the edge of a lake.
He couldn't help but jump in, wanting to calm down, sinking directly to the bottom of the lake.
At that moment, he discovered a colorful, mercury-like substance at the bottom of the lake.
"What is this?" Lin Feng couldn't help but reach out and gently poke it.
In an instant, the entire colorful substance directly burrowed into Lin Feng's body.
In that moment, Lin Feng felt the universe, all things, and the essence of the world flashing before his eyes.
The sun, moon, and stars, the shifting of time, the changes of all things, the rules of the universe.
It felt like a second had passed, yet it felt like a lifetime.
When Lin Feng suddenly awoke, he found himself on the shore of the lake.
"The source of the world..."
For some reason, Lin Feng suddenly uttered these four words.
