The events that unfolded in the Misty Forest were indeed one after another. First came the pursuit by several groups, followed by the attacks from foreign cultivators. Lin Yifan and his companions devised every conceivable strategy and fought bravely, spilling their blood to barely survive.

However, in the end, Lin Yifan, who possessed the thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng, still became the target of everyone's arrows. Cultivators from outside the region had sent experts specifically to pursue and intercept Lin Yifan, forcing him to flee.

Ultimately, Lin Yifan had thought that his brother Li Dafeng would step in to help him, but unexpectedly Li Dafeng found excuses to decline, and that was the fundamental reason why he was knocked into an abyss thousands of feet deep by a cultivator from outside.

"I never expected the usually kind and honest big brother Li Dafeng to have such malice at the critical moment. I really misjudged him," Zhou Jiajia said indignantly.

During their time in the hospital, the Li brothers were exceptionally kind to her and Su Qingqing, taking on all sorts of heavy tasks, which left her and Su Qingqing feeling grateful. But they had never anticipated that the Li brothers could be so dark-hearted—each more so than the last.

"Don't blame them. After all, at that time, everyone's life was in danger. It's understandable that he didn't take on two opponents by himself," Lin Yifan soothed Zhou Jiajia and their agitated emotions.

"Yifan! You could have completely thrown away the thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng and run away. Why didn't you do that?" An Qi questioned.

"Because the thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng is as precious as your life, and I cannot throw away the life of the woman I love. Even if it costs me my life, I wouldn't spare any sacrifice. I silently vowed to myself at that moment that I had to stay alive to bring back the Blood Ginseng to revive you. That's why I couldn't afford to lose it or let someone take it away," Lin Yifan replied with unwavering determination.

"Yifan! Why do you love me so much?" An Qi asked, deeply moved with tears streaming down her face.

Lin Yifan had given and risked so much for her—saving her at the peril of his own life—making her love for him deepen beyond the capacity for repayment.

"Because you are Lin Yifan's woman, it's as simple as that," Lin Yifan answered casually.

However, that seemingly light-hearted remark moved and awed every woman present, for it was a declaration filled with a profound sense of security. Every woman in love with Lin Yifan felt fully satisfied and immensely touched upon hearing it.

"Yifan, are you tired? Let me help you loosen your bones, give you a massage."

"Yifan, do you want some fruit? I'll peel it for you!"

"Yifan, are you thirsty? I'll pour you some tea."

"Yifan, are you cold? I'll get you a jacket."

.....

For a moment, four women of stunning beauty were vying for favor, each of them willingly serving Lin Yifan, and it was all because of Lin Yifan's words just now.

Now, the only thing missing was someone to accompany him to bed.

Hence, Lin Yifan asked with a playful smile, "I'm feeling a surge of hormones right now; does anyone want to accompany me to bed?"

"Yes! Just pick which of us four you want to enjoy tonight," Zhou Jiajia said with a teasing smile.

Lin Yifan glanced at each of his girlfriends present, finding each of them irresistibly tempting, and then answered, "I want to enjoy all of you! Why not have a go tonight..."

"Keep dreaming! Until the day you marry us, you're not getting any of that," Zhou Jiajia and the others immediately halted him, disallowing Lin Yifan from harboring such wicked thoughts.

"Fine then! Tomorrow I shall marry all four of you," Lin Yifan responded.

"Yifan, do you really want five?" Zhou Jiajia asked, a bit surprised in her heart.

She thought Lin Yifan was just joking, but it turned out he was indeed serious.

"Yeah! Didn't you say you all could sleep with me? So what's wrong with four sleeping together?" Lin Yifan countered.

"But... but can you handle it?" Zhou Jiajia hesitated to ask, still somewhat resistant to the idea of five.

"There's nothing a man can't handle," Lin Yifan replied.

"Okay... okay then. Whatever you want, I'll go with it," Zhou Jiajia said nervously, throwing herself into Lin Yifan's arms, not daring to think too much.

Seeing that all four women present were panic-stricken, Lin Yifan burst into laughter, then said, "I was just kidding with you guys! An Qi is leaving in a month. How can we have married life without her?"

These words were particularly harsh in An Qi's ears, making her feel as if all the faults lay with her. So, she responded, "Yifan, if you want that, then I won't go cultivating."

"Silly girl, there will be plenty of time for that later. You just go and cultivate well, and aim to return as soon as you achieve enlightenment," Lin Yifan consoled.

"Mm! Got it," An Qi obediently replied.

Now, whatever Lin Yifan told her to do, she would do; because all her thoughts were on him.

Avoiding a disaster, the four stunning beauties present all breathed a sigh of relief; if they were asked to sleep with Lin Yifan right away, there would still be some psychological barriers.

This barrier would need to be gradually overcome in time or else it could lead to mental rejections, especially for Xiao Fang, whose traditional thinking made it very difficult for her to accept sleeping with so many people.

"Yifan! What happened after you fell into the abyss? Were you really saved by your master?" Zhou Jiajia asked curiously.

"To tell the truth, I don't know what happened. All I know is that when I woke up, I saw Sister Xiao Fang. Sister Xiao Fang said she saved me by the riverbank. I think after falling into the abyss, I miraculously survived, and then the river washed me there," Lin Yifan answered.

The truth was far beyond what Zhou Jiajia and the others could have imagined. If Lin Yifan hadn't been so lucky, he might have truly died.

"We should really thank the Bodhisattva for their blessings. Without them, I'm afraid we would never see Yifan again," Zhou Jiajia felt fortunate for Lin Yifan.

Although she didn't believe in Buddhism, now she couldn't help but believe a little.

On the other hand, after learning the truth, An Qi realized Lin Yifan had faced a real calamity, and it was indeed a narrow escape from death. She was grateful that Lin Yifan hadn't died, or else she would've been consumed with guilt.

"Yifan! Please don't do these dangerous things anymore, okay? We don't want you to have an accident," An Qi asked.

"What's meant to come will come; don't worry unnecessarily. Besides, if you guys are in trouble, how could I possibly stand by and do nothing?" Lin Yifan replied.

After hearing Lin Yifan's story, at this moment, An Qi was utterly eager to become stronger; this way, she wouldn't make Lin Yifan worry or be a burden to him.

"Yifan, what happened after Sister Xiao Fang saved you? Do you really have a master? Is Sister Xiao Fang really your senior sister?" Zhou Jiajia asked curiously.

She knew that Lin Yifan didn't have a master, so she was very curious about what happened next.
