441: The Palace Mistress of Yaoyue, disguised as a man?
Moreover, she is a peerless beauty. If this news were to spread, the Sun Moon Holy Cult would likely face trouble.
Even without external trouble, the Sun Moon Holy Cult itself would be dissatisfied.
After all, how could they possibly tolerate a woman being their cult leader? They would definitely try to overthrow Invincible East.
"Tsk tsk... Forget it. Who knows when His Highness will finish? I need to find a place to rest too. If I keep drinking here, my 'waterworks' won't hold up. I'm off to 'drain the dragon'." Having said that, Lu Xiaofeng got up and left.
"Drain the dragon? I think you just want a woman, don't you?" Hua Manlou's face showed a look of disdain.
"So what? Want to come along?" Lu Xiaofeng looked back at Hua Manlou.
"I'm not as much of an animal as you. Go ahead. I'll stay here by myself for a while." Hua Manlou shook his head.
Hua Manlou sat there alone, savoring his wine, and did not leave.
Suddenly, footsteps came to a stop outside his room door. Hua Manlou instantly paused his drinking motion.
The other party's footsteps were very light. If not for his extraordinary hearing, he truly wouldn't have noticed their presence.
"Since Your Excellency has come, why not come in for a chat?" Hua Manlou spoke in a calm tone.
The door opened. Hua Manlou's ears twitched, and a faint, elegant fragrance drifted to his nose, causing his brow to furrow slightly.
A woman? With formidable strength. Who could it be?
The visitor was dressed as a young nobleman, with strikingly handsome features that would make men envious and women's hearts flutter.
An air of nobility was difficult to conceal.
The visitor was none other than the Grand Palace Mistress of Yihua Palace, Moon Invitation. If Lian Xing were to see her elder sister like this, she'd probably have her eyes pop out of her head.
Her elder sister, the esteemed Grand Palace Mistress of Yihua Palace, the icy beauty, Ruthless and merciless, not only appearing in a Brothel, but also disguised as a man?
"The seventh Young Master of the Jiangnan Hua Family, Hua Manlou." Moon Invitation's voice was clear and cold.
"Who are you, Your Excellency? What business do you have with me?" Hua Manlou asked, his brow furrowed.
From the voice, he had already guessed it was a woman, and moreover, a very proud one.
He could hear the aloofness and arrogance in her tone.
"Where is he?" Moon Invitation's voice was clear and cold, yet filled with an undeniable authority.
"He? Miss, who are you looking for? You might as well say it directly. If I know, I will certainly inform you." Hua Manlou frowned, looking genuinely puzzled.
Who exactly is this woman? Who is she looking for? You don't even say who you're looking for, just ask directly like that. I'm not Prince Duan, I don't know everything.
"Hua Manlou, don't play dumb with me. If I were looking for the two of you, would I need to come here and ask?"
"So the young lady is looking for Prince Duan. However, Prince Duan currently has no time to see you."
"If the young lady wishes to see His Highness, you can wait here, or I can take you to the manor to wait." Hua Manlou replied with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
He knew that by saying this, the other party would certainly understand what he meant.
Moreover, since she could find this place, she must also know that His Highness had his consort with him.
Moon Invitation's brow furrowed slightly. It seemed what Hua Manlou said wasn't wrong.
"You've been here for so long, and now only you remain. Tell me, what exactly is he doing?" Moon Invitation looked at Hua Manlou with a gloomy expression.
"No, Miss, the way you're asking this is a bit off, isn't it? What can a man do when he comes to a place like this?"
"Either drink with courtesans, or find a woman."
"As for why His Highness has disappeared, isn't the answer obvious?" Hua Manlou shrugged.
*Crack...*
Moon Invitation's jade-like hand clenched tightly, her knuckles emitting crisp sounds. A chilling murderous intent began to permeate the air.
Hua Manlou's expression instantly changed. Just as he was about to move, he immediately felt a terrifying pressure descend upon him, leaving him no chance to resist.
Only then did he realize that the woman before him was actually a Master of the Heavenly Human Realm.
His Highness really is unfathomable. The romantic entanglements he gets involved with are all with Masters of the Heavenly Human Realm. Comparing people really makes you want to die.
"Miss, you'd better calm down."
"His Highness doesn't like jealous women." Hua Manlou gritted his teeth, struggling to speak and remind Moon Invitation.
Upon hearing Hua Manlou's words, the aura around Moon Invitation instantly receded. She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.
Duan Zhengchun had many women around him. She came here looking for Duan Zhengchun to demand an explanation from him.
She, Moon Invitation, was not a woman to be trifled with. She wanted to personally ask Duan Zhengchun: he had slept with her, so what was he going to do about it? Where did he intend to place her?
To expect her to serve him alongside the other women by his side? Absolutely impossible.
She, Moon Invitation, had been proud and aloof her entire life. When had she ever suffered such humiliation?
That previous time, if not for the sake of what was inside, she wouldn't have pretended to be unconscious the whole time, passively letting that scoundrel have his way with her.
Originally, she wanted to kill Duan Zhengchun, but after learning his identity, she gave up.
She was no match for him. In the end, it would only lead to more humiliation. Who knows, that guy might just do *that* to her again.
During this period, she had managed to gather all the information about Duan Zhengchun.
That's why she came looking for Duan Zhengchun in this manner, but she didn't want to confront him in front of his women.
If that happened, where would she put her face?
Now, only Hua Manlou was here. He was blind and couldn't see her face.
Therefore, she wasn't worried about her identity being exposed.
"In that case, after he returns, tell him to meet me at the Ten Li Pavilion outside the city." Moon Invitation's voice was clear and cold. Having said that, she turned and left.
After Moon Invitation left, Hua Manlou finally let out a sigh of relief. Only then did he realize his whole body was soaked in cold sweat.
He had no doubt that if not for his connection to Duan Zhengchun, the other party would very likely have killed him.
The other party must have been observing the situation here from the shadows all along. The reason she appeared only now was definitely because she didn't want to expose her identity.
That's why she showed up under these circumstances.
Who exactly is this person? With such formidable strength, such a domineering personality, and such an icy aura.
In the current Nine Provinces Continent, few people fit these criteria.
"Could it be... *that* one?"
At the thought of *that* one, Hua Manlou couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath of cold air.
He knew all too well what kind of person she was. She hated men the most. Her subordinates were all women, and most of them were women who had been bullied and abandoned by men.
The only man was a disciple named Hua Wuque.
Judging by her reaction just now, it was clear there was some emotional entanglement between her and His Highness.
For *this* one to lower herself like this and come here looking for him, what exactly did His Highness do to her? Could it be that he took advantage of her and then refused to acknowledge it, leading to her chasing him down?
Tsk tsk. His Highness truly is His Highness, to be able to conquer such a woman. However, it seems now that the other party is here to cause trouble.
Who knows what will happen between the two of them.
"Damn, how long has it been? That kid still hasn't come out?"
"Yeah, it's already been three hours. How come he hasn't come out yet? Could it be he can't handle it and is too embarrassed to show his face?"
