The Daughter of Heaven's Mandate's Flights of Fancy

The system explained, "She came from her world to yours, the host, crossing the boundaries of time and space."

She then added, "When she said she wanted to marry you, she was just complimenting your good looks; she didn't mean anything else."

After hearing Nan Xunran said, "That's quite unique."

Seeing that Nan Xunran had no reaction, Lin Bing dusted himself off and got up from the ground.

Nan Xunran turned his head and instructed the servant beside him, "Take this young lady to change her clothes."

Lin Bing understood his words, a bright smile bloomed on her face, and she gave Nan Xunran a thumbs up, saying, "Handsome guy, you're so nice!"

Then, a servant stepped forward, made a "please" gesture, and led Lin Bing away.

Divine Son Hall

Lin Bing was led here by her servants. Along the way, she looked around, her eyes wide with amazement, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, this is so luxurious! Even novels wouldn't dare write something like this!"

Her steps were unsteady; she would touch the exquisitely carved railings one moment, and tug at the magnificent curtains that passed by the next.

The attendant seemed oblivious to her strange remarks, leading her expressionlessly to the palace gate and bowing respectfully, saying, "Divine Child."

A gentle "Come in" came from inside the hall.

[Lin Bing's favorability with the Daughter of Heaven’s Mandate increases by 10 points]

[Current favorability: 65 points]

Just from that one word, Lin Bing blushed instantly to the roots of her ears, muttering softly, "Being handsome is one thing, but having such a nice voice too, who could resist?"

After receiving the order, the attendant quietly withdrew, leaving Lin Bing alone outside the palace gate.

Lin Bing stared at the tightly closed palace doors, took a deep breath, and slowly pushed the doors open with both hands.

Nan Xunran against the window, sunlight streaming through the windowpane and falling on him, as if gilding him with a layer of gold.

Hearing the door open, he looked up and his gaze fell on Lin Bing.

Lin Bing instinctively patted her face, silently telling herself, "Calm down, calm down, think about how to survive before you get carried away."

After regaining her composure, she imitated the manner of the people she had seen along the way, bowing with her hands clasped and her knees slightly bent. "Thank you for taking me in, young master... this humble woman..."

He was halfway through his sentence when he realized something was off, so he suddenly changed his mind.

Nan Xunran asked calmly, "Where do you come from?"

Lin Bing's eyes darted around, he scratched his head, and chuckled awkwardly, "A small place... a small place."

Nan Xunran forward, his clothes fluttering gently in the wind. "The Nan Clan compound is surrounded by traps. How did you get in?"

Lin Bing nervously twisted the hem of her clothes with both hands, and gave a dry laugh, "Coincidence, purely coincidence..."

Her eyes were darting around; she couldn't very well say that she was watching a TV show at home when suddenly everything went black and she fell from the sky.

Upon hearing Nan Xunran's handsome brows furrowed slightly.

Seeing this, Lin Bing quickly waved her hand and said, "Don't be angry, don't be angry..."

She clasped her hands together and said pitifully, "I really don't know, and I have nowhere to go right now..."

After she finished speaking, a hint of anticipation appeared in her eyes.

She secretly thought to herself that, according to the typical novel plot, she would be taken in by this handsome man, then they would be together, have a lovely child, and reach a perfect happy ending.

Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.

Just as Lin Bing was lost in thought, Nan Xunran suddenly appeared in front of her.

Caught off guard, Lin Bing trembled in fright and blurted out, "WC!"

Seeing that her aura was disordered and she had no cultivation at all, Nan Xunran gently raised his hand and slowly extended his fingers toward her forehead.

Just before they were about to touch, a glimmer of light flashed by, and a Slave Mark was quietly set.

Lin Bing was completely unaware of all this. When she saw Nan Xunran reach out his hand, she even tiptoed slightly and brought her face closer to his hand, thinking to herself with delight, "Handsome guys are so appealing!"

Nan Xunran withdrew his hand without changing his expression and said calmly, "You can leave."

Lin Bing was stunned upon hearing this, her eyes widening in disbelief, "Huh?"

She stood there, stunned, her mind racing. This wasn't how the story was going. Shouldn't it be a hero rescuing a damsel in distress? Why was she just chased away? Was she not pretty enough?

Nan Xunran looked at her calmly, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

Lin Bing tilted her head back and said softly, "Is it okay if I don't leave?"

Nan Xunran raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "Keeping you around is of no use to me."

Lin Bing opened her mouth, "How could I..." She stopped mid-sentence, frowned, and thought seriously for a moment.

Having just arrived and being utterly powerless, I seemed utterly useless.

A moment later, an idea struck her. She leaned forward and said expectantly, "Could you take me to the sect?"

That's how it's written in novels; the protagonist enters a sect to cultivate and then embarks on a path of revenge.

Upon hearing her words, Nan Xunran's eyes flashed with a thoughtful expression as he recalled her physique— the Primordial Dragon Body, which was incredibly powerful after awakening.

Since she wants to stay so much, let's settle her in Hidden Dragon Valley; it's a perfect place for her.
