226: If the King of Qin dares to come, I will demolish his Qin Palace.

"Zhang Han died because of the Daoist Heavenly Sect's Xiao Meng. Find Xiao Meng and everything will be clear."

"Attendant..."

As the King of Qin's words fell, a figure approached.

It was precisely the one in charge of the Luo Network, Zhao Gao.

"Your Majesty..."

"You have three days to investigate and clarify the whereabouts of the Heavenly Sect's Sect Head, Xiao Meng."

"Yes, Your Majesty..." Zhao Gao was startled inwardly but dared not show any dissatisfaction.

After Zhao Gao left, Moon Goddess hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Meng is already involved with that man. It's impossible for him not to know Zhang Han's identity."

"Whether Zhang Han acted on his own or for other reasons, he represented Your Majesty."

"The fact that the other party dared to kill Zhang Han directly shows he does not fear Your Majesty."

The King of Qin's expression remained calm, but an invisible pressure emanated from him. In an instant, Moon Goddess felt an intangible weight.

This was the unique pressure of an Emperor. Even a Martial Artist would find it difficult to withstand without sufficient strength.

"State Preceptor, you have somewhat overstepped your bounds."

Moon Goddess's heart trembled. Her beautiful swan-like neck lowered slightly as she performed a curtsy, then turned and left.

Watching Moon Goddess's departing figure, an unfathomable light flickered in the King of Qin's eyes.

"ziwei star? I hope you do not disappoint This Lonely One."

"This Lonely One eagerly anticipates meeting you."

... Duan Zhengchun returned to the Prince of Zhennan's Residence with Xiao Meng, only to find all the women gathered in the main hall, their expressions grave and the atmosphere heavy.

Ever since Duan Zhengchun suddenly left, dropping only a single sentence, the atmosphere in the residence had been somewhat oppressive.

As the eldest sister, Dao Baifeng naturally could not afford to lose her composure at this time.

Fortunately, with Zhao Min by her side to help, the women hadn't completely fallen into disarray.

"He's back! The Prince is back!"

Little Red's voice suddenly rang out. The women's eyes instantly lit up, and they collectively breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Duan Zhengchun's strength was already the pinnacle of the Nine Provinces Continent, this was the first time they had seen him so anxious.

Even when the Earth Immortal Realm Master personally came to their door before, Duan Zhengchun hadn't been this tense.

They didn't know what had happened, but now that Duan Zhengchun had finally returned, they could finally set their minds at ease.

Seeing all the women gathered, Duan Zhengchun understood the situation.

Duan Zhengchun looked at Dao Baifeng, Zhao Min, and the others, a relaxed smile appearing on his face.

"I'm sorry for making you worry. It's just that the situation was urgent at the time, and there was no chance to explain."

"Fortunately, I arrived just in time. Otherwise, even if I went and killed the King of Qin, it would have been too late."

"Your Highness, what exactly happened?" Dao Baifeng asked curiously, looking at Duan Zhengchun.

"Before that, let me first introduce a new sister to you all, Xiao Meng..."

Duan Zhengchun introduced Xiao Meng's identity and then explained the reason for his sudden disappearance earlier.

After hearing this, the women understood why Duan Zhengchun had been in such a hurry before.

So, it was because his woman was in mortal danger. No wonder he was so anxious.

At the same time, they felt fortunate. The fact that Duan Zhengchun could be so concerned about Xiao Meng proved he would be just as concerned for them.

What kind of heartless man would be so frantic for his own woman?

If Duan Zhengchun were truly that kind of heartless person, they wouldn't have so many sisters.

"Sister Xiao Meng is truly beautiful. This is the first time I've seen such a beautiful and elegant lady," Dao Baifeng said warmly, stepping forward to take Xiao Meng's hand.

"Sister, you jest. You are even more beautiful," Xiao Meng replied, her pretty face flushing with shyness, momentarily at a loss for words.

"I'm not lying. When it comes to looks, I have confidence in myself."

"But upon seeing you, sister, my confidence wavers. Especially your aura—among all the sisters present, none can compare to you."

"That detached, otherworldly quality, like a Fairy descending to the mortal realm. Am I wrong? Just ask the other sisters and you'll see."

Regarding Xiao Meng's appearance, figure, and aura, Dao Baifeng sighed with genuine admiration.

This was the first time she had seen such an ethereal and refined woman.

She truly couldn't imagine how many good deeds their Prince must have done in his past life to have so many beauties as confidantes in this one.

And each one of them was as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal.

Xiao Meng felt somewhat embarrassed by Dao Baifeng's words.

She had confidence in her own looks, but being praised like this by Dao Baifeng and the others still made her feel a bit shy.

"Your Highness, you killed Zhang Han. Whether Zhang Han acted on his own or under the King of Qin's orders, I'm afraid the King of Qin won't let this go easily," Zhao Min said, looking at Duan Zhengchun with concern.

Hearing Zhao Min's words, a cold smile appeared at the corner of Duan Zhengchun's mouth.

"The King of Qin? He'd better think carefully about how to give this Prince an explanation. Otherwise, this Prince will make him understand the consequences of daring to touch this Prince's woman."

"This Prince will dismantle his Xianyang Palace."

Silence. Absolute silence.

Duan Zhengchun's words directly plunged the entire hall into quiet. Everyone stared at him in astonishment.

They had already understood Duan Zhengchun's heart from the incident with Xiao Meng—he was truly good to his women.

But they never expected Duan Zhengchun would actually seek trouble with the King of Qin.

However, is the King of Qin's trouble so easy to stir?

Hearing Duan Zhengchun's words, Xiao Meng was deeply moved.

It was the first time a man had protected her like this—so domineering, yet not lacking in tenderness. What woman wouldn't love such a man?

"Um, Your Highness, the matter is already resolved. Zhang Han is dead. Perhaps... we should just let this go?"

Duan Zhengchun looked at Xiao Meng and shook his head.

"Xiao Meng, you are Duan Zhengchun's woman. In this world, no one is allowed to bully you."

"Even this Prince will not let you suffer any grievance."

"Regardless of Zhang Han's purpose, ultimately, the King of Qin was behind him. The incident where he killed your Junior Martial Uncle was certainly ordered by the King of Qin."

"Therefore, this time, Zhang Han dared to ambush you because of the King of Qin."

"Zhang Han was his man. He is absolutely responsible."

"Daring to touch Duan Zhengchun's woman and not paying a price? Would that make people think Duan Zhengchun is easy to bully? If so, wouldn't any random stray cat or dog feel they could swagger before this Prince?"

At this, everyone fell silent.

Since Duan Zhengchun had made this decision, as his women, they naturally had to unconditionally support their man.

Moreover, their man was doing this to vent their anger. Who else would they support if not him?

Xiao Meng stood up and walked to Duan Zhengchun. Her expression became unprecedentedly serious, her eyes filled with tenderness as she looked at him.

"In that case, I support you, Your Highness. I will share life and death with you."

"That's right! We share life and death with the Prince!"

Since Xiao Meng had declared her stance, Dao Baifeng, as the eldest sister, naturally couldn't show weakness and immediately stepped forward as well.

Zhao Min, Xiao Zhao, A Li, Yang Buhui, Zhou Zhiruo, Qin Hongmian, Gan Baobao, Xiao Die, and Little Red also stepped forward.

Seeing the earnest attitude of all the women, Duan Zhengchun was deeply moved.

If he didn't know they were... indisposed, he would absolutely repay them with the highest honor a man can bestow.
