405: Watch me perform magic tricks for you.

After moon-gazing, Huang Rong ultimately failed to escape Duan Zhengchun's grasp, which could be considered getting what she wished for.

However, what Huang Rong didn't know was that her and Duan Zhengchun's nighttime disappearance had driven someone frantic with worry.

That person was none other than the Eastern Heretic, Huang Yaoshi. Huang Rong thought her father didn't know when she ran out, but little did she know that everything she did was under the surveillance of her daughter-doting father.

Ever since the events at the Misty Rain Tower, Evil Old Man Huang knew that his daughter had fallen.

She was infatuated with Duan Zhengchun. He felt helpless and could only follow and protect her in secret, specifically to prevent his daughter from losing control and doing something out of line.

As a result, what drove him crazy was that even though he was watching closely, how could she suddenly vanish?

Exactly when did she disappear? Why hadn't he noticed anything at all?

"Bastard, Duan Zhengchun, you'd better not have done anything to Ronger, otherwise, I will definitely give you what's coming to you." Huang Yaoshi's face was ashen as he spoke through gritted teeth.

He had already imagined that with his daughter and Duan Zhengchun disappearing together, things were likely looking grim; she was bound to be completely devoured by that bastard playboy Duan Zhengchun.

Huang Yaoshi's eyes were bloodshot, and he trembled with rage, his knuckles turning white from clenching his fists.

Duan Zhengchun didn't know that while he had a great time that night, someone else was unable to sleep.

Huang Rong opened her bleary eyes and saw Duan Zhengchun looking at her with a smile, causing her fair face to flush instantly.

Recalling the previous night, she ultimately hadn't been able to escape the charm of the man before her and had given herself to him completely without reservation.

However, the thought of his strange and exotic Moves made her face burn and her whole body feel soft and weak, without a shred of strength.

"What are you looking at? You scoundrel." Huang Rong gave Duan Zhengchun a bashful glare, not daring to look into his fiery eyes.

"Looking at a beauty," Duan Zhengchun said with a smile.

"Hmph, liar. You have so many beauties around you, how could I compare?" Huang Rong pursed her lips with a smile.

Only now did she realize that her mouth still felt a bit numb.

This guy... even after she had surrendered last night, he still refused to let her go. It was only after her lips were nearly worn raw that Duan Zhengchun finally softened up.

And so, even after all this time, her mouth still felt a tingling numbness.

"What? Jealous?" Duan Zhengchun pulled Huang Rong forcefully into his embrace.

"Jealous? If I were to get jealous, with so many women around you, could I even keep up?"

"Besides, since I've decided to follow you, I naturally won't get jealous over such things."

Though she spoke lightly, she still felt a bit uncomfortable deep down, but there was nothing she could do; this man was simply too outstanding.

How could it be possible for him to have only one woman by his side?

"Rest assured, This Prince treats everyone equally," Duan Zhengchun said with a laugh.

"I do believe that, otherwise, how could the women around you be so harmonious?" Huang Rong nodded.

"Smart indeed. Here's a reward for you, to continue helping you improve your strength." As he spoke, Duan Zhengchun began his 'rewarding' of Huang Rong again.

"Wait, you're doing it again?" Huang Rong cried out in surprise. Before she could even resist, she was forced to accept Duan Zhengchun's reward.

Not long after, an energy fluctuation emanated from the room as a violent aura erupted.

Huang Rong finally made a Breakthrough from the Xiantian Realm to the Grandmaster Realm.

Having broken through to the Grandmaster Realm, the fatigue on her body was swept away.

"Heavens, what is going on? We didn't do anything regarding cultivation all night, so how did I suddenly break through so inexplicably?" Huang Rong felt the changes in her body with a look of astonishment.

"Stay calm. Don't act like someone who hasn't seen the world."

"What does this count for? It's just a drizzle. In the future, you'll find that being This Prince's woman makes cultivation the easiest thing in the world."

"Even if you do nothing every day, This Prince has ways to make your strength break through."

"Of course, you have to perform well too. For example, inventing some novel ways to play." Duan Zhengchun looked at Huang Rong with a wicked grin.

"Oh... what are you saying? I, I wouldn't know how to do that." Huang Rong's face turned crimson, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at Duan Zhengchun.

However, what she didn't know was that her playing-hard-to-get attitude was even more attractive.

But considering that if he continued the rewards, Huang Rong would be overwhelmed, Duan Zhengchun gave up the idea of further rewarding her.

"Let's go, time to get up and get something to eat." Duan Zhengchun stood up with a smile.

"Alright, I've been hungry for a while." Huang Rong smiled and prepared to get up.

However, with the large movement, Huang Rong felt a tearing pain surge, causing her to knit her brows slightly and lie back down.

"Hiss..."

"Sorry, I forgot your body is inconvenienced. Take this, and I'll help you act as a Protector." Duan Zhengchun took out a marrow cleansing pill and handed it to Huang Rong.

"What is this?" Huang Rong curiously took the marrow cleansing pill.

"A marrow cleansing pill. It can perform Marrow Cleansing and improve your cultivation Aptitude," Duan Zhengchun said with a smile.

"What? A marrow cleansing pill? Does such a thing really exist in this world?" Huang Rong looked at the Medicinal Pill in her hand with surprise.

"Of course. Whether it's real or not, won't you know once you eat it?" Duan Zhengchun said.

"Heehee... since you said so, Prince, I naturally believe you." Huang Rong swallowed the marrow cleansing pill with a face full of smiles.

Huang Rong swallowed the marrow cleansing pill immediately. At first, she felt nothing, but after a few seconds, her expression changed, and she hurriedly sat cross-legged to begin meditating and circulating her Cultivation Technique.

As the Cultivation Technique circulated, the aura on Huang Rong's body also intensified.

A layer of black grime began to appear on the surface of her skin, emitting a foul stench.

An hour later, Huang Rong opened her eyes. They were brighter than ever before, and her mental state had returned to its Peak.

"Heavens, I, I've reached the Middle Stage of the Grandmaster Realm." Huang Rong looked at Duan Zhengchun excitedly.

But then she saw Duan Zhengchun looking at her with a peculiar expression. Huang Rong was stunned, and only then did she notice a foul odor in the air.

Huang Rong raised her hand to fan the air, but the stench only grew stronger.

That was when she realized her hands had turned black at some point and were emitting a pungent stench—the very smell she had just caught a whiff of.

"Ah... what is this? What happened to me?" Huang Rong looked at Duan Zhengchun in a panic.

"Don't worry, it's nothing. It's just the Impurities in your body being expelled." Duan Zhengchun looked at Huang Rong with a smile.

"No way, quickly have someone prepare bathwater for me. I need to bathe right now," Huang Rong said urgently.

The thought of being seen like this by her beloved made her feel incredibly embarrassed.

"No need for such trouble. Watch This Prince perform a magic trick for you." After saying this with a smile, Duan Zhengchun raised his hand to manifest his Water Spirit Body. Instantly, several fine streams of water drifted from the air into his hand, forming a water orb.

The water orb grew larger and larger, eventually forming a large sphere over a meter in diameter. Then, under Duan Zhengchun's control, the water orb transformed directly into a water Dragon and flew toward Huang Rong.

Huang Rong had long been stunned by the scene before her. It wasn't until the water Dragon coiled around her body that she snapped back to her senses.

She could clearly feel the water Dragon moving across her body.
