308: Did Xiaoxuan launch a sneak attack?

"Wanwan, you better think carefully. If you dare to kill me, that will be the moment the Yinkui Sect and Vast Sail Quiet Temple go to war."

"When that time comes, Vast Sail Quiet Temple will absolutely fight your Yinkui Sect to the death," Shi Feixuan threatened tensely.

"Heh, even if I don't kill you, would Vast Sail Quiet Temple let the Yinkui Sect off?"

"Have you become stupid from being a Saintess? The Demonic Path and the Righteous Path have always been enemies. How can you say such things? What is going through your head?" Wanwan snorted coldly and struck a palm toward Shi Feixuan.

She didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.

Shi Feixuan's expression changed. She bit the tip of her tongue to condense the last of the Internal Energy in her body and thrust her sword out abruptly.

Wanwan hadn't expected Shi Feixuan to still be able to erupt with such power at this point. Startled, her graceful figure spun on the spot, narrowly dodging the strike, but her skirt was still sliced.

Having missed her strike, Shi Feixuan turned and fled.

She knew very well that she was currently no match for Wanwan. If she didn't escape now, she wouldn't have another chance.

"Curse you, Little Xuanxuan! I didn't expect you to be so insidious as to sneak attack me."

"Consider yourself lucky for running fast this time. This lady has things to do, so I'll spare you once. If I run into you again, you won't have this chance." After Wanwan finished speaking, she didn't give chase, but instead headed in the opposite direction.

Her target was naturally Duan Zhengchun.

Duan Zhengchun, who had just left not long ago, felt an aura approaching from behind. With a thought, he immediately realized what was happening.

"This girl is truly a handful. She's quite bold; isn't she afraid of danger?" Duan Zhengchun frowned.

"What's wrong, Prince? Did something happen?" Moon Princess looked at Duan Zhengchun in confusion.

"It's nothing, a little girl is following us. Ignore her, let's go!" Duan Zhengchun shook his head.

Moon Princess's heart stirred, and she immediately understood who was following behind. However, since Duan Zhengchun didn't care, she naturally had no objections.

Soon, a black figure appeared in the forest; it was Wanwan, who had caught up all the way.

Watching Duan Zhengchun head west, she rubbed her chin and thought for a moment. Soon, something occurred to her, and her figure suddenly accelerated as she left the forest.

She planned to get to the next city a step ahead. According to her deductions, she would head to the next city Duan Zhengchun needed to pass through in advance so that she could manufacture a chance encounter with him.

"Prince, this little girl is quite clever. She's planning to intercept us up ahead." Moon Princess looked at Duan Zhengchun's profile with a smile on her lips.

Looking at Duan Zhengchun's handsome profile, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and a hint of infatuation appeared in her eyes.

This was a man full of charm. Any woman who came into contact with him would be attracted by the aura he carried and would involuntarily want to get closer to him.

"It's just a bit of cleverness. Thinking she can use this to pull this Prince into the Yinkui Sect's camp is a bit of a pipe dream," Duan Zhengchun said calmly.

"The Prince is a hot commodity in the Nine Provinces Continent. All the major powers and Imperial Dynasties are thinking of recruiting you."

"As the Saintess of the Yinkui Sect, it's normal for this girl to have such thoughts."

"Perhaps this is the order of the Empress of Shadow, Zhu Yuyan," Moon Princess analyzed with a smile.

"I don't care whose order it is. As long as she doesn't provoke this Prince, I'm too lazy to pay her any mind."

"Prince, this girl has clearly developed feelings for you. How about you... suffer a little for the cause?" Moon Princess looked at Duan Zhengchun with a teasing smile.

"Is your skin itching for a lesson? Or do you have some ideas of your own?" Duan Zhengchun's lips curled up slightly as he looked at Moon Princess.

Moon Princess's heart trembled, her pretty face turned rosy, and her eyes darted away, not daring to look at Duan Zhengchun.

"The Prince must be joking, how would I dare? I'm just looking out for the Prince!" Moon Princess took a deep breath to suppress the excitement in her heart.

"Heh... women always like to say one thing and mean another. When they say no, they actually mean yes; and when they say yes, they mean no."

"Therefore, regarding your answer just now, this Prince can assume your skin is itching." As Duan Zhengchun's words fell, he disappeared along with Moon Princess.

Moon Princess gave a startled cry, but before she could scream, she found she could no longer make a sound.

An hour later, the two continued their journey.

Moon Princess's face was flushed, her aura fluctuated with faint signs of a Breakthrough, but her whole body was slumped weakly over the horse's back.

"Prince, how am I supposed to travel like this?" Moon Princess looked at Duan Zhengchun resentfully.

"Fine, take this and recover." Duan Zhengchun gave Moon Princess a look and casually tossed her a dà huán dān.

Moon Princess caught the dà huán dān, her face showing joy. Her gaze became even more affectionate, and sensing her look, Duan Zhengchun raised an eyebrow.

"Behave yourself. Too much of a good thing can be bad," Duan Zhengchun said crossly.

"Prince..."

Duan Zhengchun felt a jolt through his body, his hair standing on end. He shook his head helplessly and stopped looking at Moon Princess.

Seeing Duan Zhengchun's somewhat fleeing appearance, Moon Princess couldn't help but giggle.

She tucked away the dà huán dān and whipped her horse to catch up with Duan Zhengchun's figure.

"Prince, wait for me..." Moon Princess's voice was so sweet and cloying that hearing it made Duan Zhengchun feel like he was covered in goosebumps.

"Stop right there. Don't you ever pull that act with this Prince again, otherwise, don't blame me for throwing you into the Cold Palace," Duan Zhengchun said with a dark face, looking at Moon Princess.

"Yes, Prince, this servant won't dare to do it again." Moon Princess lowered her head and admitted her mistake with a look of grievance.

"Humph..."

Duan Zhengchun gave Moon Princess a blank glance, said nothing more, and continued on his way.

Moon Princess looked at Duan Zhengchun's back, her eyes sparkling and watery.

"What woman could refuse a man like this?"

They arrived at Snow Moon City without incident. After finding an inn to stay in, Duan Zhengchun took a comfortable hot bath to relieve the fatigue from the journey.

"Sigh, I really have a life of toil. This time, when I find that girl Li Hanyi, I must teach her a good lesson and let her know the consequences of breaking a contract," Duan Zhengchun said softly with his eyes closed.

"Prince, do you need me to go out and gather some news about this place?" Moon Princess asked softly.

"No need. After we eat, we'll go directly to the main city of Snow Moon City," Duan Zhengchun said with his eyes closed.

"Yes, Prince. I'll go have someone prepare the food." Moon Princess nodded and left.

Soon, the food was ready, and a refreshed Duan Zhengchun came downstairs to dine.

"Hey, have you heard? Someone is going to challenge the Ascending Heaven Pavilion. I wonder if anyone will successfully reach the top this time."

"I heard the person challenging the Ascending Heaven Pavilion this time is Lei Wujie, the Young Lord of the Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall's Lei Family Fort. He's already at the Divine Roaming Profound Realm at such a young age. He might actually succeed in reaching the top."

"Yes, indeed. An eighteen-year-old in the Divine Roaming Profound Realm—that talent definitely qualifies as a Genius."

"Hey, you guys might not know this yet. Setting aside whether this Lei Wujie is a Genius or not..."

"I heard that the reason he was able to reach the Divine Roaming Profound Realm is because of one person."
