448: The Frenzied Dongfang Bubai

Just what did Prince Duan do to their Cult Leader? To make their Cult Leader search for him so frantically?

Could it be that Prince Duan had his way with their Cult Leader and then abandoned her?

Although they thought this in their hearts, no one dared to say it out loud.

These past few days hadn't been easy for Huang Rong either. She woke up one day to find Duan Zhengchun had actually disappeared.

She originally thought he had just gone out for a casual stroll, but she waited for three days without him returning. During those three days, she went out to look for him but couldn't find him.

In the end, she learned from Hua Manlou that Duan Zhengchun had gone to the pleasure quarters to listen to music, and hadn't come back since.

However, she wasn't worried that Duan Zhengchun would abandon her.

Based on her previous experience, she didn't believe Duan Zhengchun was the type to have his way and then abandon someone.

Something must have happened these past few days, which is why he left without saying goodbye.

She just needed to continue waiting here; Duan Zhengchun would definitely come back for her.

These past two days, she had stayed in the Manor, not going out again. Every day she just sunbathed, meditated, practiced her martial arts, and researched new dishes.

"Consort, you've been researching new dishes these past few days. What's the purpose?"

"Of course, it's for the Prince. When the Prince returns, I'll cook them for him to eat," Huang Rong said with a happy smile.

"Ah, the Prince is so fortunate to have the Consort personally cooking delicious food for him."

"These past two days, eating the Consort's cooking has spoiled my palate. Food from outside is simply hard to swallow now."

"Well, there's no helping that. I'm afraid once the Prince returns, we'll have to leave the Great Ming," Huang Rong said, shaking her head helplessly.

"Ah? You'll leave as soon as the Prince returns? Heavens, Consort, can we follow you?"

"What are you thinking? The Consort is of noble status, and you're thinking about her cooking for you every day?"

"Ah, Sister Cui Ling, it's just that I can't bear to part with the Consort."

"Enough. You were fortunate enough to eat the Consort's cooking twice, have you forgotten your own status?"

"Do your job properly and don't think about unrealistic things."

"Yes, Sister Cui Ling, I know I was wrong."

Huang Rong didn't mind it. She cooked a lot anyway, and she couldn't finish it all herself, so sharing some with them was nothing.

However, expecting her to cook for them every day?

What were they thinking!

This Cui Ling, however, was quite sensible.

"Consort, that Miss Dongfang has come again."

"Oh? Is that so? Please show her to the Front Hall," Huang Rong said, waving her hand.

Huang Rong didn't keep Invincible East waiting long, soon having someone bring food to the Main Hall.

"Oh, Sister Dongfang, what brings you to visit me today?" Huang Rong asked, looking at Invincible East with a smile.

"Little sister, I have no choice. That scoundrel bullied me and then disappeared. It's already been three days. He promised to tell me news of my sister,"

"but now he's nowhere to be found. How could I not be anxious?" Invincible East said, looking at Huang Rong with a helpless expression.

"Where the Prince has gone, I don't know either, sister. You'll just have to wait patiently."

"The Prince left suddenly, probably because something came up. Once he deals with it, he'll return," Huang Rong said with a smile.

"Hmph, something came up? I think he's just indulging in women,"

"already been devoured clean by that woman Moon Invitation," Invincible East said in a huff.

"Oh? Why do I smell something sour? There's nothing wrong with today's dishes. Where's this vinegar smell coming from?" Huang Rong asked with a puzzled expression.

Invincible East's face instantly darkened, and the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not jealous," Invincible East said somewhat sheepishly, looking away.

"I didn't say you were jealous, sister. I was saying the soup I made today had a bit too much vinegar," Huang Rong said, looking at Invincible East with a smile.

She understood perfectly well that Invincible East had already been thoroughly devoured by the Prince. After a woman is devoured by him, how could she not fall for him?

It's just she truly hadn't expected that the esteemed leader of the Sun Moon Holy Cult was actually a great beauty.

If this matter were to spread, it would absolutely cause a sensation in the Jianghu.

"Hmph, he better not be lying about knowing my sister's whereabouts. Otherwise, I'll make him pay," Invincible East said, pursing her lips.

"Hehe... Don't worry. Since the Prince said it, it's definitely true."

"From what I know, the Prince never lies to women. He keeps his word, so you can rest assured," Huang Rong said, looking at Invincible East with a smile.

"Hmph, I don't know what's so good about him that makes you trust him so much."

"Men are all no good," Invincible East said, pursing her lips.

"If none of them are any good, then why are you so concerned about him, sister?" Huang Rong said with a laugh.

"Hey, I never thought the esteemed leader of the Sun Moon Holy Cult would also like to gossip behind someone's back."

"That's not good."

Just as Invincible East finished speaking, she heard a voice that made her both love and hate. It was Duan Zhengchun, the man she had been nearly driven mad searching for these past few days.

"Scoundrel, you finally know to come back?" Invincible East abruptly stood up, glaring angrily at Duan Zhengchun.

When she saw Moon Invitation, her expression changed instantly, because she realized that at this moment, Moon Invitation had actually achieved a Breakthrough.

"What kind of talk is that? My wife is here, of course I'd come back."

"This Prince just went to take care of some matters. Now that they're finished, naturally I've returned."

"However, This Prince is a bit puzzled. Why are you here, Leader Dongfang?" Duan Zhengchun asked, feigning surprise as he looked at Invincible East.

"How dare you ask? Where exactly is my sister?" Invincible East glared at Duan Zhengchun, her face livid with anger.

"Your sister? This Prince naturally knows of her whereabouts. But, why should I tell you?"

"You're not anyone to This Prince. I have no obligation to tell you, right?" Duan Zhengchun shrugged.

"You... you scoundrel! You've already done *that* to me, and you dare say such things?"

"Fine, very well. It seems I misjudged you. In that case, we have nothing more to discuss. Let's fight."

"No matter what, today I will learn my sister's whereabouts," Invincible East said, then immediately attacked, sending several Embroidery Needles shooting towards Duan Zhengchun.

Moon Invitation was about to step forward to fight, but Duan Zhengchun stopped her.

"No need to rush. For such a trivial matter, do you need to act? Even if This Prince stood still and let her hit me, she couldn't break my defense."

Facing Invincible East's attack, Duan Zhengchun didn't take it seriously at all.

*Clink, clink, clink...*

A series of metallic clinking sounds rang out. The Embroidery Needles hitting Duan Zhengchun's body were like striking Titanium Alloy Steel Plates. Not only did they cause no damage, but the needles themselves shattered from the impact.

This scene left Invincible East utterly stunned.

She was a Grandmaster Peak existence. Even a Heavenly Human Realm expert wouldn't dare to directly withstand an attack she launched with full power.

Yet, against such an attack, Duan Zhengchun didn't even resist, just stood there, and her attack caused no damage whatsoever.

Duan Zhengchun raised his hand and gently brushed it in front of him, and his clothes instantly returned to normal.

"What? Are you trying to murder your husband?" Duan Zhengchun asked, looking at Invincible East with a smile.
