250: Tsukihime's sincerity
Watching Duan Zhengchun's departing figure, Moon Princess glanced at the already injured Nether Marquis, a flicker of struggle passing through her eyes.
In the end, she turned and followed in Duan Zhengchun's footsteps.
Looking at Moon Princess's back, Nether Marquis clenched his fists, his eyes filled with resentment and humiliation.
This was the result of insufficient strength; if he were strong enough, he wouldn't have to endure such humiliation at all.
"Moon Princess, rest assured. I, Nether Marquis, will never forget this kindness as long as I live. As long as I can take my revenge and survive, I will stay by your side for the rest of my life to protect your safety."
Back in the room, Duan Zhengchun's expression was as calm as a deep well as he looked at Moon Princess.
Moon Princess approached Duan Zhengchun, and a delicate fragrance wafted into his nostrils, making Duan Zhengchun's eyes light up.
Having known countless women, he could naturally distinguish the source of this scent.
"The outcome will depend on your performance today."
"Moon Princess understands..."
Moon Princess took a deep breath, knowing exactly what she was about to face, but she had no other choice.
Back at the inn, when Duan Zhengchun saved her from Ding Chunqiu's hands, she knew from the conditions he set that Duan Zhengchun lusted after her body.
Now, to help Nether Marquis get his revenge, this small sacrifice was nothing.
Duan Zhengchun watched as Moon Princess stepped into the abyss, one step at a time.
Once on his ship, there was no chance of ever getting off.
An hour later, Duan Zhengchun finished dressing with satisfaction and walked out of the room.
Coming to the garden, he saw Nether Marquis still kneeling there and was very satisfied with his attitude.
Of course, he was even more satisfied with Moon Princess's performance.
Sensing someone approaching, Nether Marquis looked up, and when he saw Duan Zhengchun, his expression immediately became agitated.
"Prince..."
"Alright, stand up. This Prince has seen your sincerity."
"This Prince can help you take revenge, or I can help you increase your strength. Which one do you choose?" Duan Zhengchun spoke in a calm voice.
"Prince, I want to take revenge personally."
When he saw Duan Zhengchun arrive, Nether Marquis had already unblocked his own acupuncture points.
"In that case, this Prince will give you the strength for revenge."
"This is a dà huán dān; consuming it can increase your cultivation by sixty years."
"With your current Initial Grandmaster Realm strength, sixty years of power should allow you to Breakthrough to the Heavenly Human Realm if your talent is sufficient."
"Go ahead and take it. This Prince will act as your Protector and help you absorb the medicinal power." Duan Zhengchun took out a dà huán dān and placed it before Nether Marquis.
Seeing the dà huán dān, Nether Marquis was shocked beyond measure.
This kind of Medicinal Pill was an extremely scarce treasure. He had originally thought that since Duan Zhengchun had given one to Lei Wujie earlier, he wouldn't have many left. He hadn't expected that Duan Zhengchun wouldn't even blink when taking out another one.
This indicated two possibilities. First, Duan Zhengchun didn't care about such pills.
The other was that Duan Zhengchun had many in his possession, so giving one away didn't hurt.
Regardless of which it was, it wasn't something an ordinary person could do.
After all, a pill that increases cultivation by sixty years is an extremely precious medicine across the entire Nine Provinces Continent.
"Thank you, Prince..." Nether Marquis didn't hesitate; after thanking him, he directly swallowed the pill and sat cross-legged on the spot.
As the medicinal power took effect, Nether Marquis's strength began to rise, quickly moving from the Early Stage of the Grandmaster Realm to the Middle Stage.
Next, Nether Marquis's aura surged irresistibly, reaching the Grandmaster Peak. At this point, the increase in strength became much slower than before.
After all, the Heavenly Human Realm was not so easy to Breakthrough into.
However, for Nether Marquis to reach the Grandmaster Realm at his age, his talent was clearly quite good.
Seeing that the aura was no longer sufficient to Breakthrough to the Heavenly Human Realm, Duan Zhengchun also felt a surge of emotion.
Indeed, the Heavenly Human Realm was not so easily reached.
Otherwise, wouldn't Heavenly Humans be as common as dogs in the Jianghu, and Earth Immortals be everywhere?
With Nether Marquis's talent, it was still difficult to maximize the effects of the dà huán dān in one go.
Left with no choice, Duan Zhengchun had to step in and help.
Immediately, Duan Zhengchun tapped out with his fingers in succession, sending strands of One Yang Finger force into Nether Marquis's body.
In an instant, the aura on Nether Marquis's body climbed rapidly, and the speed of his Internal Energy circulation became several times faster than before.
As the circulation speed increased, the medicinal power within his body was stimulated once again.
*Boom...*
Nether Marquis felt as if a clap of thunder had sounded in his mind, and the previously rock-solid barrier shattered instantly under this explosion.
A terrifying aura soared into the sky, and the originally clear sky was instantly covered by dark clouds.
The aura shot up, churning the layers of clouds in the sky.
Such a commotion immediately alerted the nearby Masters, who all looked at the sky with expressions of shock.
"Hiss... Who is breaking through? To cause such a massive disturbance."
"Moreover, this aura is filled with a murderous intent. It looks like a god of slaughter is breaking through."
"Who on earth is it? Looking at the direction, it seems to be the Kingdom of Dali. Could it be that Duan Zhengchun has broken through again?"
Everyone who saw this phenomenon was speculating about who was breaking through.
However, although they didn't know who it was, they knew that this person must be related to Duan Zhengchun.
Nether Marquis's Breakthrough alerted the people of the Prince's Mansion, and Dao Baifeng's group arrived at the backyard.
Seeing that Duan Zhengchun was also there, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
When they saw that the terrifying aura was emanating from Nether Marquis, everyone's faces showed surprise.
They knew that for Nether Marquis to Breakthrough, it must be related to Duan Zhengchun.
From this point, they could see that this Nether Marquis was highly regarded by their Prince; otherwise, he wouldn't have helped him Breakthrough.
