467: Lianxing: My brother-in-law is actually the Prince of Zhenbei?

Moon Invitation flashed to her sister's side, channeling Internal Energy to help stabilize her injuries.

Lian Xing began circulating the Flower Transplanting Cultivation Technique. Soon, she discovered her injuries had stabilized.

Moreover, her strength had recovered to the Xiantian Realm in one go.

This speed was something she had never experienced, even in her prime.

Seeing her sister's condition stabilize, Moon Invitation also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed the records in the manual were true.

"Sister, this technique is real," Lian Xing opened her eyes and looked at her sister in pleasant surprise.

"The technique is naturally real. Yihua Palace will be passed to you sooner or later."

"Therefore, the Flower Transplanting and Empty Wood Burying Flower techniques must be entrusted to you."

"To prevent another incident like this with the Secret Manual, we need to establish a new rule."

"Empty Wood Burying Flower and Flower Transplanting shall be orally transmitted secrets of successive generations of Yihua Palace Mistresses, to be learned only by the Palace Mistress," Moon Invitation said, taking a deep breath.

"However, the Flower Transplanting technique can only be cultivated by someone without martial arts. As the Mistress of Yihua Palace, wouldn't it be inappropriate not to know any martial arts?" Lian Xing hesitated before speaking.

"Consider it a trial for successive Palace Mistresses. As the core technique, successive Mistresses initially Cultivate the Bright Jade Skill."

"Only when the next Palace Mistress assumes the position will she be taught the two techniques, Flower Transplanting and Empty Wood Burying Flower."

"As for how to choose, that is the Palace Mistress's affair. The previous Mistress no longer has the right to interfere," Moon Invitation shook her head.

"Alright, if that's the case, then let's set this rule."

"Flower Transplanting and Empty Wood Burying Flower shall only be cultivated by successive generations of Palace Mistresses," Lian Xing nodded.

"Cultivate well. Your future growth will not be beneath mine."

"This Flower Transplanting technique can absorb power from a distance. In the future, when you encounter enemies, don't kill them directly; that would be too wasteful," Moon Invitation reminded with a smile.

"Mm, I understand," Lian Xing nodded in agreement.

"Where is Wuque?" Moon Invitation asked with a cold face.

"He hasn't returned from his training journey yet."

"Does Sister need him for something? Should I have someone notify him to return immediately?" Lian Xing said.

"No need. By the time he returns, I estimate I'll already be gone," Moon Invitation shook her head.

"Ah? Sister, you're leaving again?" Lian Xing looked at her sister in astonishment.

"Of course. I only returned to handle this matter. After that, I must leave. If His Highness doesn't see me for a long time, he'll have complaints," Moon Invitation said with a serious expression.

Lian Xing: ...It's over. Her ice-cold beauty of a sister has actually turned into a love-struck fool.

She was truly curious about what exactly had happened to her sister during this time to cause such a drastic change.

"Sister, can you tell me what exactly happened during this time? What could have changed you so much, even making you lose your bottom line?" Lian Xing finally voiced the doubt in her heart.

"Nothing much, really. I just met my true love."

"This kind of thing is hard to explain to you. You'll understand when you encounter it yourself someday," Moon Invitation said, the corners of her mouth involuntarily lifting slightly.

That smile at the corners of her mouth couldn't be suppressed at all.

"It's over, completely over."

"Now I'm even more curious. What's so remarkable about this Duan Zhengchun that he could make you change like this, Sister?" Lian Xing shook her head helplessly, one hand on her forehead.

"Him... He can go for three days and three nights without resting," Moon Invitation said, a meaningful smile playing on her lips, her eyes practically sparkling.

This time, even Lian Xing was a bit confused.

What did that mean? Three days and three nights without resting? What kind of boast was that? Any Martial Artist could do that, right?

Since when had her sister become so shallow?

"Alright, go and make the announcement," Moon Invitation said directly.

Puzzled, Lian Xing turned and left, the confusion on her face growing even stronger.

"Since when did my sister become so shallow? And what's with this 'three days and three nights without resting'?"

At that moment, her personal maid saw Lian Xing approaching and hurried forward to greet her.

"Second Palace Mistress, is something wrong? You look deeply worried."

"Right, I have a question for you. Help me analyze it," Lian Xing asked, an idea striking her.

"Mm, Second Palace Mistress, please ask. I'll tell you all I know."

"Well, I have a friend, a woman. She has always been utterly indifferent to men."

"But suddenly, she told me she has a sweetheart and is even carrying that man's child."

"So I asked her what's so great about this man that caused such a big change in her."

"And then, she said one sentence that I still can't figure out," Lian Xing said with a frown.

"Uh, what did she say? Is he very handsome? Very caring?" the maid asked, looking at Lian Xing in confusion.

"No. She said, 'This man can go for three days and three nights without resting.' What does that mean?" Lian Xing said.

"Ah? Second Palace Mistress, are you sure you heard correctly?" The maid's face showed shock as she looked at Lian Xing.

"What? Is there something wrong? What's with that expression?" Lian Xing asked, looking at the maid in confusion.

The maid's expression grew even more peculiar. For a moment, she didn't know how to explain this matter to Lian Xing.

This was mainly because Lian Xing was inexperienced in matters of intimacy and simply didn't understand the meaning of the phrase.

Moreover, this phrase's appeal to women was practically irresistible.

"Well, Second Palace Mistress, I don't quite know how to explain this matter at the moment," the maid said, looking somewhat awkwardly at Lian Xing.

"What's so hard to explain? Just tell me what it means, that's all," Lian Xing frowned.

"This... Second Palace Mistress, you don't have a sweetheart and aren't married, so it's normal you don't understand this phrase."

"But I really don't know how to explain it to you," the maid said, flustered and stumbling over her words.

"Speak. If you don't, you'll be dealt with according to palace rules," Lian Xing said coldly.

"No, Second Palace Mistress, I'll speak!" The maid's face changed, and she hurriedly begged for mercy.

Lian Xing stared darkly at the maid, waiting for her explanation.

"Actually, what your friend meant is... this man... can engage in... nuptial chamber activities... for three days and three nights without resting," the maid explained awkwardly.

"What?!"

Lian Xing gasped, her fair, pretty face visibly flushing red.

She hadn't expected that her sister's 'three days and three nights without resting' referred to *that* kind of thing. Good heavens, what in the world was this?

What's so great about that kind of thing? Isn't that kind of thing supposed to be very painful for women?

How could it possibly have caused such a big change in her sister?

"Second Palace Mistress, actually, you shouldn't be so surprised. I quite understand your friend."

"No woman wouldn't like encountering such a man. You'll understand when you have a husband in the future," the maid said with a smile.

"Pah! Talking nonsense! I certainly won't."

"You girl, you're becoming more and more unruly. Hurry and notify everyone to assemble in the main hall. The Grand Palace Mistress has important matters to announce," Lian Xing said, putting on a stern, serious face.

The maid stuck out her tongue and turned to leave.

Many of Yihua Palace's disciples were women who had been bullied or abandoned. Of course, many were also women who had been married and suffered domestic violence.
