"Master Lin Feng is not an ordinary man." Duan Menglu’s beautiful eyes gazed toward the brightly lit master courtyard.

"He already has many women by his side."

She recalled the various women living within the residence.

Every one of them possessed extraordinary beauty and unique charms.

Some were gentle. Some were mature. Some were playful. Some were elegant.

There was no shortage of companionship around Lin Feng.

"He truly has no need for me."

A bitter smile appeared on her face.

For perhaps the first time in her life, she understood what it felt like to compete for a man’s attention.

Yet another question soon surfaced in her mind. A far more important question.

Duan Menglu lowered her gaze.

"Am I really content to remain a mere servant at his side forever?"

The courtyard became silent. The answer emerged almost instantly.

"No."

Her voice was soft but firm. She slowly stood up. The uncertainty in her eyes vanished.

In its place appeared unwavering determination. She had spent over a million years walking her own path.

She had never retreated from any challenge. Why should this be any different?

"If Master Lin Feng has no need for me, then I will simply make myself impossible to ignore."

A brilliant light flashed across her beautiful face. Her fighting spirit surged.

This was not a battle of cultivation. Nor a battle of strength.

It was a battle for a place within Lin Feng’s heart. And Duan Menglu had no intention of losing.

"No."

A faint smile appeared on her lips.

"I will become his woman."

The moonlight illuminated her stunning features as her resolve solidified completely.

For the first time in a month, Duan Menglu felt hopeful once again.

There was no hesitation in Duan Menglu’s heart regarding what she wanted to achieve.

Lin Feng came from a mysterious hidden clan.

His origins were unfathomable, his strength immeasurable, and his wisdom beyond the understanding of ordinary cultivators.

Every time she thought she had grasped a fraction of his true capabilities, he would reveal something even more astonishing.

Most importantly, he was powerful. Ridiculously powerful.

To someone like Duan Menglu, who had spent over a million years searching for a man worthy of standing beside her, Lin Feng possessed every quality she desired.

His strength inspired admiration. His mystery sparked curiosity. His confidence commanded respect.

If there was any man in existence she could accept wholeheartedly, it was him.

Therefore, she made a decision.

She would do everything within her power to make Lin Feng notice her.

***

The following morning, Duan Menglu wasted no time putting her plan into action.

As the women gathered in the courtyard for breakfast, many pairs of eyes immediately turned toward her.

Even Lin Feng nearly choked on his tea.

"What?"

He stared in surprise. Today’s Duan Menglu looked completely different.

Gone were the conservative robes that concealed much of her beauty.

In their place was an elegant outfit that perfectly highlighted her graceful figure without sacrificing refinement.

The flowing fabric accentuated her long legs and slender waist, while subtle details drew attention to her natural charm.

The transformation was stunning. After all, Duan Menglu had always been beautiful.

No.

Beautiful was an understatement.

She was the type of woman who could leave entire kingdoms speechless with a single appearance.

Previously, her beauty had been hidden beneath her aloof demeanor and modest attire.

Now, however, she seemed to radiate brilliance wherever she went.

Even the morning sunlight appeared dimmer in comparison.

At that moment, she looked less like a servant and more like a celestial fairy who had descended from the heavens.

Her every movement possessed effortless elegance. Her every smile carried an indescribable charm.

Even the surrounding flowers seemed to lose their splendor beside her.

A blind man might have believed his eyesight had returned upon witnessing such a scene.

Duan Menglu secretly observed Lin Feng’s reaction.

When she noticed his surprised expression, a trace of satisfaction flashed through her beautiful eyes.

At last.

Master Lin Feng had finally noticed her.

Even so, Duan Menglu’s change did not go unnoticed by the other women.

The moment she appeared, several knowing smiles spread across their faces.

"It seems we were right," one of the women said with a chuckle. "It was only a matter of time before Sister Menglu saw the light and realized just how special Lin Feng is."

"I agree," another nodded. "There really isn’t another man like him anywhere."

"That’s true."

The women exchanged amused glances.

"But poor Sister Menglu is probably going to be disappointed for a while."

The group burst into laughter.

"I know exactly what you mean," one woman said helplessly. "Lin Feng always insists on taking things slowly. He’s incredibly patient with all of us."

"Far too patient sometimes," another complained dramatically.

"Tell me about it. I practically throw myself at him every night, and he still acts as calm as ever."

"Exactly!"

More laughter followed.

Most men would have lost all self-control surrounded by so many beautiful women.

Lin Feng, however, was completely different. He always moved at his own pace.

No matter how eager a woman might be, he never rushed anything.

Because of this, the women already knew what Duan Menglu was about to experience.

The newcomer might have finally decided to pursue Lin Feng wholeheartedly, but winning his attention was only the first step.

Getting him to act?

That was an entirely different challenge.

As they watched Duan Menglu from afar, their expressions became even more amused.

None of them doubted she would eventually succeed.

After all, Lin Feng had never been able to resist collecting extraordinary women around him.

The real question was how long she would have to wait.

And judging by their own experiences...

Quite a while. The days continued to roll.

As for Lin Feng, he was more than satisfied with the current state of his life.

Naturally, he had noticed the recent changes in Duan Menglu.

In fact, it would have been impossible not to notice.

The ancient beauty had become noticeably more proactive these days.
