291: Twelve Constellations

Therefore, they speculated that these two major Murong Families were likely targeted by the Tian Zun Organization.

Naturally, they now needed to investigate information regarding the Tian Zun Organization as quickly as possible.

After leaving the tavern, Duan Zhengchun hurried toward Snow Moon City with Moon Princess.

On this day, Duan Zhengchun and Moon Princess passed through a canyon; the surroundings were beautiful, with wildflowers blooming all over the mountains, making it a suitable place for seclusion.

The scenery was picturesque, the climate pleasant, and there was no one to disturb them.

"The scenery here is quite good; it's suitable for living in seclusion." Duan Zhengchun looked at the surroundings and couldn't help but nod.

"If the Prince likes it, I will have people begin construction here immediately," Moon Princess said with a smile.

"Forget it, we'll talk about future matters later."

"For now, attending to our official business is more important." Duan Zhengchun shook his head.

Moon Princess nodded and said nothing, continuing the journey with Duan Zhengchun. However, just as Duan Zhengchun was about to set off, he stopped again.

"Interesting. I didn't expect to encounter such a situation here." Duan Zhengchun raised an eyebrow, a playful smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Prince, what happened?" Moon Princess looked at Duan Zhengchun in confusion.

"A few little mice want to deal with a cat. Originally, they had no chance of winning, but this cat was too arrogant and ended up being schemed against by the mice."

"Tsk tsk... I wonder to what extent she can manage." Duan Zhengchun stroked his chin, a playful smile on his face.

"Oh? Then shall we go take a look?" Moon Princess's eyes lit up as she looked at Duan Zhengchun.

She also wanted to see who the cat and mice her Prince spoke of were.

"Let's go, let's take a look."

After Duan Zhengchun finished speaking, his figure flickered and he appeared in the distance.

Moon Princess also used her Movement Technique to rush over.

In the distant forest, a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in white palace robes was fleeing in distress. Behind her, several figures were in hot pursuit.

Leading them was a middle-aged man with a rat-like face, a short stature, and a wretched appearance. Behind him were several others with various odd and extremely ugly appearances.

These people were none other than Palace Mistress Yaoyue and the Twelve Zodiac Animals, with the leader being the head of the Twelve Zodiac Animals, Toothless Wei.

Looking at the graceful figure fleeing in distress ahead, Toothless Wei's mouth curled into a sinister smile.

"Jie jie jie... Yaoyue, give up. You'll be more comfortable that way; otherwise, you'll truly have no chance left."

Yaoyue's face was flushed red, her breath was unstable, and her footsteps were unsteady. It was obvious she had been poisoned.

Furthermore, it was an aphrodisiac specifically designed for women.

Originally, Yaoyue was investigating the cause of Jiang Feng's death and traced it to the Twelve Zodiac Animals. She was just about to kill them when she didn't expect Toothless Wei to be so insidious and cunning.

To think he would poison her, and with such a shameless aphrodisiac at that.

With no other choice, she could only choose to flee, but she didn't expect the Twelve Zodiac Animals to be so shameless as to pursue her relentlessly.

Yaoyue did not speak, only struggling to gather her Qi to continue fleeing.

"Dammit, am I, Yaoyue, doomed to fail today?"

"Twelve Zodiac Animals, you wait for me. As long as I, Yaoyue, don't die today, I will absolutely grind your bones to ash."

Yaoyue thought resentfully, but her footsteps grew weaker and weaker, and the scene before her began to blur.

Yaoyue couldn't help but shake her head, wanting to clear her mind, but there was nothing she could do.

The burning sensation in her heart became even more intense.

Just as she was about to collapse from exhaustion, two fine horses appeared before her, and upon one sat a handsome young man.

In that instant, Yaoyue felt as if Jiang Feng had returned.

She reached out her hand to call for help, but as soon as her mental state relaxed, she could no longer hold on, and her reason was instantly submerged by that most primitive desire.

"Save... save me..."

After shouting those last few words, Yaoyue directly fainted.

When Toothless Wei and the others saw Yaoyue finally fall, they rushed forward in excitement.

"Haha... Yaoyue, oh Yaoyue, who would have thought? You have a day like this too."

"I told you that you couldn't escape, so why bother?"

"Didn't you still fall into the hands of us brothers? Today, we brothers will let you taste the joy of being a woman." Toothless Wei looked at the fallen Yaoyue with a sinister face.

"Jie jie jie... Big brother, you go first. After you're done, we'll take our turns." Yun Liang spoke in a muffled voice, his tone filled with wretchedness.

"Haha, that's right, big brother goes first, then us." The third-ranked Tiger, Bai Shanjun, looked at Yaoyue excitedly.

The Twelve Zodiac Animals were only concerned with the Yaoyue before them and didn't care at all about Duan Zhengchun and Moon Princess, who had suddenly appeared.

At this moment, the fourth-ranked Rabbit, Physician Hu, noticed the presence of Duan Zhengchun and Moon Princess. When he saw Duan Zhengchun, a flash of jealousy and resentment crossed his eyes.

There was no helping it; Duan Zhengchun was just so much more handsome than him. However, when he saw Moon Princess beside Duan Zhengchun, his eyes immediately went wide.

Because Moon Princess's looks were not in the least inferior to the Yaoyue before them.

They didn't expect their brothers to be so lucky today; not only had they schemed against Palace Mistress Yaoyue, but they also encountered a beauty who was not inferior to Yaoyue at this time.

"Big brother, look quickly, another beauty, and a stunning one at that, not a bit worse than this woman Yaoyue." Physician Hu spoke excitedly.

Hearing the fourth brother's words, Toothless Wei was momentarily stunned. Following his gaze, his eyes immediately went wide.

His heart began to pound wildly; beautiful, she was too beautiful.

Her temperament was different from Yaoyue's, but whether it was her looks or her figure, she was definitely not inferior to Yaoyue.

"Tsk tsk... Heaven has treated me well. I didn't expect that today would actually send us brothers two such top-quality specimens." Toothless Wei's eyes shone with excitement as he looked at Moon Princess.

As for Duan Zhengchun beside Moon Princess, he didn't even take him seriously.

A young brat—no matter how strong he was, how strong could he be? Did he think he was that Prince of Zhennan?

Never mind such a young brat, even a Heavenly Human Realm Master like Yaoyue had been schemed against by their brothers. What did they have to worry about?

"Tsk tsk... Beauty, what a coincidence to meet here. How about it? Come down and have some fun with us brothers, eh?" Toothless Wei's eyes shone with lecherous intent, his gaze practically glued to Moon Princess's body.

Sensing Toothless Wei's gaze, Moon Princess's pretty face turned cold as ice. Her hand was already on the hilt of her sword; as long as Duan Zhengchun gave the order, she would not hesitate to strike and kill Toothless Wei and the others.

Toothless Wei's strength was merely that of a Great Grandmaster, and the others were only in the Grandmaster Realm; Moon Princess didn't take them seriously at all.

Looking at the twelve people before him, Duan Zhengchun had already guessed their identities: the notorious Twelve Zodiac Animals of the Jianghu. The eldest, Rat, was Toothless Wei; his appearance was indeed rat-like and his stature short, matching his zodiac sign.

The second, Ox, was Yun Liang, who was big and burly. The third, Tiger, was Bai Shanjun, who had a fierce look and an aura of blood about him.

The fourth, Rabbit, was Physician Hu; the aphrodisiac used against Yaoyue earlier had been prepared by him.

The identity of the fifth, Dragon, was a mystery; the original text had not explained the fifth's identity either.
