32: Passing on Xiao Zhao
"Haha... my own woman, who dares to object? This Prince will kill him." Duan Zhengchun said with great pride.
Zhao Min rolled her beautiful eyes at Duan Zhengchun.
Duan Zhengchun returned to his room.
"Alright, you two go in. I'll have someone prepare hot water." Zhao Min said with a cold expression.
"Min Min truly is my Capable Assistant, you've worked hard." Duan Zhengchun said with a smile.
"Hmph..."
Zhao Min snorted coldly and left.
Duan Zhengchun and Xiao Zhao entered the room. Duan Zhengchun took out a marrow cleansing pill and placed it in front of Xiao Zhao.
"Alright, you can take it now. I will act as your Protector."
Xiao Zhao looked at the Medicinal Pill before her, took a deep breath, and without hesitation, put it directly into her mouth.
The Medicinal Pill melted instantly upon entering her mouth, transforming into a warm current that traveled throughout her entire body.
Xiao Zhao didn't have time to say anything and immediately sat cross-legged, circulating her Cultivation Technique to absorb the medicinal power.
Soon, a layer of black sludge appeared on Xiao Zhao's fair, pretty face.
As time passed, not only did black sludge appear on her face, but her entire body was covered in black sludge.
Moreover, this black grime emitted a foul stench.
At this moment, Zhao Min had already instructed someone to prepare the Fragrant Bath.
"Duan Lang, the Fragrant Bath is ready."
"Mm, wait a moment, it will be done soon," Duan Zhengchun replied.
The time it takes for another Stick of Incense Time passed, and Xiao Zhao opened her eyes.
She could clearly feel that all aspects of her body had been enhanced, and her mind was much clearer than before.
Many problems related to Cultivation that she couldn't figure out before, she could now instantly understand.
"This, this really is a marrow cleansing pill," Xiao Zhao said in shock.
"Of course, Honest Dealing."
"However, you should go clean up first now," Duan Zhengchun said with a smile.
"Ah..."
Only then did Xiao Zhao realize that a layer of black sludge on her body was emitting a foul odor, nearly making her vomit.
Previously, she had been so focused on the stench that she hadn't paid much attention to the sludge itself.
Leaving the room, she saw Zhao Min sitting alone in the courtyard, meditating and practicing skill.
This was the back courtyard of the Huiyan Tower, Zhao Min's private area, and no one would disturb her unless it was for an important matter.
Hearing the movement, Zhao Min stopped her practice and looked at Duan Zhengchun, her eyes carrying a hint of resentment.
"Can you tell me what's going on now?" Zhao Min asked directly.
"Actually, I am also very helpless."
"I didn't want this either, but on the night of my wedding, a voice in my mind told me..."
"At first, I didn't believe it, until later, I actually received a reward."
"Only then did I believe that what the voice said was true."
"That's why I've become like this. However, I am sincere toward you."
"I absolutely will not let down my woman, so you don't need to worry that having a few more women will diminish my love for you. I can guarantee that point." Duan Zhengchun briefly explained his situation.
However, the way Zhao Min looked at him was somewhat like looking at a clown.
Seeing Zhao Min's suspicious gaze, Duan Zhengchun's expression immediately darkened.
How much resolve did it take for me to tell you this, yet you don't believe me?
"This is unfair of you. This is my biggest secret."
"This Prince hasn't told anyone else; I only told you."
"But what is that look in your eyes?"
"Is there no longer even the most basic trust between husband and wife? Our affection has faded, our feelings have faded." Duan Zhengchun said with a mournful expression.
"Wait, Duan Lang, what kind of reaction is that? I haven't even said anything yet!" Zhao Min looked at Duan Zhengchun, utterly bewildered.
"Your eyes have already betrayed you."
"Do you have an issue with me finding women outside?"
"But can you blame me? You can only blame that voice inside my head."
