Sacred Body of the Ancients from the Beginning

Chapter 163: Chapter 163: Nalan Ruoxi’s Apology, Relentless Pursuit, and the Emergence of the World Origin

At this moment, in the reception hall of the Lin Clan.

A young girl dressed in a long gown with flowing sleeves sat quietly as if she were a maiden.

The young girl had delicate features, a breathtakingly beautiful face, and skin so fair it seemed as if it could break at the slightest touch.

Her figure was also excellent, with graceful curves and hair as dark as clouds, styled into a bun, exuding a serene and elegant demeanor.

She was none other than the Nalan Clan’s contemporary proud maiden, Nalan Ruoxi.

Speaking of Nalan Ruoxi, she was a renowned Proud Daughter of Heaven in the East Profound Realm and a divine-level figure in the hearts of countless men.

At just sixteen years old, she broke through to the True Spirit Fifth Heaven.

In the Immortal Realm, this wouldn’t be considered remarkable, perhaps even inferior.

But the rules of Heaven and Earth in the Lower Realm were different.

On the Celestial Profound Continent, reaching the True Spirit Fifth Heaven by sixteen was an extremely prodigious talent.

”Haha, what brings Miss Nalan to my Lin Clan today?”

A middle-aged man with a square face, seated at the main seat, smiled and spoke.

He was the Lin Clan’s Clan Leader and Lin Feng’s father, Lin Zhen Tian.

”Uncle Lin, it has been a long time.” Nalan Ruoxi’s demeanor was very courteous and appropriate.

Even though her status was lofty, being the proud maiden of a Hidden Clan, her attitude was very humble and without any arrogance.

This thoroughly pleased Lin Zhen Tian.

Who would have thought that the elderly man he had saved by accident was actually the elder from the Nalan Clan?

This deed brought his son a good wife.

Lin Zhen Tian laughed heartily.

Even though his son was considered a failure, marrying Nalan Ruoxi would still elevate his status.

The whole Lin Clan would in turn ascend to new heights, becoming a family even the entire East Profound Realm wouldn’t dare provoke.

As for retracting the engagement, Lin Zhen Tian never even considered it.

In his view, the Nalan Clan wouldn’t be ungrateful.

Just as Lin Zhen Tian was lost in his delightful dreams.

From outside, Lin Feng and Ziyan arrived.

Lin Feng’s eyes displayed a flash of amazement upon seeing Nalan Ruoxi.

Nalan Ruoxi was truly beautiful, with an elegant and serene demeanor.

Any man would fall in love at first sight.

Even Lin Feng was no exception.

However, when thinking of his own status as a failure, Lin Feng’s heart sank.

He was not like Lin Zhen Tian, unable to indulge in such dreams.

A toad should have the awareness of being a toad.

Desiring such a swan was difficult!

Seeing Lin Feng, Lin Zhen Tian hurriedly waved him over: ”You rascal, come and greet Miss Nalan.”

Lin Feng maintained a calm expression as he looked at Nalan Ruoxi.

Nalan Ruoxi gazed at Lin Feng with beautiful eyes.

Lin Feng had a handsome face and a resolute expression.

Though known widely as a failure, Nalan Ruoxi showed no contempt or dislike.

”Young Master Lin.” Nalan Ruoxi nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

”Nalan Ruoxi, why have you come?” Lin Feng asked.

”Rascal, how are you speaking!” Lin Zhen Tian glared at Lin Feng.

Nalan Ruoxi exhaled gently, her eyes carrying a hint of apology: ”Sorry, I came today to retract the engagement, I am focused on cultivation and do not wish to marry.”

One sentence brought silence to the hall.

All the faces of the Lin Clan’s members turned unpleasant instantly.

Lin Zhen Tian was in disbelief.

His dream had shattered.

”Indeed, Nalan Ruoxi... You!” Lin Feng’s brow furrowed, his fist clenched tightly, nails piercing his palm, causing intense pain.

Ziyan’s expression on the side was also icy.

”It’s not that Ruoxi looks down upon Young Master Lin’s cultivation, just that it’s truly not suitable. As for compensation, our Nalan Clan will support the Lin Clan with all sorts of resources as necessary.”

Nalan Ruoxi spoke calmly, without arrogance, filled with apology and guilt.

In contrast, Lin Feng couldn’t help but shout angrily: ”Nalan Ruoxi, you bitch, where does this leave the Lin Clan’s dignity?”

”Impudent!” Behind Nalan Ruoxi, an elderly woman coldly shouted, releasing the aura of the Void God Realm.

This aura made Lin Zhen Tian’s heart tremble.

His cultivation was merely in the Divine Fire Realm, not yet reaching the Ninth Stage of Saint.

Even a servant from the Nalan Clan was more powerful than him.

”With the lady’s noble identity, there was no need for such trouble, sending anyone with a word could dismiss you!”

”Yet she chose to apologize personally, sincerely, and still wants to compensate you with so many resources!”

”This in exchange for your cursing, truly shows the rural folks being ungrateful!”

The elderly woman couldn’t help but exclaim.

She felt extremely unjust for Nalan Ruoxi.

”Granny Liu, let it be, this indeed is Ruoxi’s fault, and Young Master Lin’s scolding is deserved.” Nalan Ruoxi stopped her.

”Heh, so-called sincerity, just scorn, don’t worry, Lin Feng doesn’t dare to aspire to such a swan.” Lin Feng sneered coldly.

”Compensation resources will be given, Ruoxi truly apologizes.” Nalan Ruoxi remained sincere.

”Keep your resources, my Lin Clan doesn’t need them!” Lin Zhen Tian’s face also darkened, his dream of elevating his clan to a phoenix was completely shattered.

Nalan Ruoxi sighed inwardly.

She had no other option.

”You bitch, get out, within three years... no, one year, in just one year, I will personally ascend to the Nalan Clan and defeat you!”

Lin Feng suddenly shouted, unable to bear the humiliation.

Though Nalan Ruoxi hadn’t uttered a single humiliating word towards him from beginning to end.

”I’m sorry.” Nalan Ruoxi bowed slightly, preparing to leave.

At this moment, Ziyan blocked her way.

”You...” Nalan Ruoxi was puzzled.

”Underestimate Brother Lin Feng, whether it’s you or your Nalan Clan, there will be a price!” Ziyan’s tone was chilly.

Nalan Ruoxi looked at Ziyan for a moment, then left directly.

”Argh... damn it!”

Lin Feng was furious, running straight out of the hall.

Even though he didn’t want to admit it, he once hoped for a marriage alliance with Nalan Ruoxi.

After all, who wouldn’t want to marry such a Proud Daughter of Heaven?

Lin Feng’s mouth denied it, yet his heart was honest.

Nalan Ruoxi’s refusal seemed to tear apart his last fantasy.

That’s why Lin Feng was so ashamed and enraged.

Lin Feng didn’t know how long he ran, eventually reaching a lakeside.

Unable to bear it, he jumped into the lake, seeking calm, sinking to the bottom.

Just then, he discovered a multicolored substance like mercury at the lake’s bottom.

”What is this?” Lin Feng couldn’t help reaching out to touch it gently.

Instantly, the entire multicolored substance penetrated into Lin Feng’s body.

Suddenly, Lin Feng felt as if the cosmos and everything in it flashed before his eyes.

The sun, moon, and stars, the universe’s cycles, everything changed, cosmos rules.

It felt like a second passed, yet also like a lifetime.

When Lin Feng awoke suddenly, he was already at the lakeside.

”World Origin...”

Lin Feng inexplicably uttered these four words.
