Chapter 78: Entering the Eastern Palace

  "Her physique is not suitable for cultivation? Who said such nonsense?" Ge Zhangmen's eyes narrowed, his gaze sharp and his expression revealing intense displeasure: "My disciple is a rare, once-in-a-thousand-years congenital saint with an exceptionally good foundation, the best physique for cultivation!"

  " Innate Sacred Body?" Chu Yifeng muttered in confusion, looking at Qin Luoyi's face, his eyes filled with incredulity. This was a physique that only existed in legends, and those who possessed it could achieve boundless accomplishments with time and cultivation.

  "Of course, what did you think Penglai Xianmen was? Anyone can enter without any qualifications?" Ge Zhangmen hummed and said.

  As he came out of the Mingyue Pavilion, Chu Yifeng's face turned gloomy and iron-blue. The identity of Ge Zhangmen was beyond doubt; such a powerful and unpredictable person could only be found on Penglai Fairy Island, not anywhere else on the Sacred Dragon Continent!

  Without saying a word, he turned pale and directly took action, tightly wrapping Qin Luoyi's slender waist, pulling her onto the Sweat Blood Horse, shouting loudly, and galloping wildly towards the East Palace.

  "Chu Yifeng! What are you doing? Let me go quickly!" Qin Luoyi didn't expect him to dare to make a move in public on the street, although it was already late at night and there were no people around. Who knows what rumors would spread if someone saw them...

  Chu Yifeng didn't respond to her, pursed his thin lips, and hugged her even tighter, as if he wanted to crush her into his bones. His eyes gleamed with a fierce red light, and his expression was furious as he urged the horse to run faster.

  The howling strong wind blew away the green silk that Qin Luo had tied up on her head, and her hair was scattered all over, dancing in the wind.

  Qin Luo's eyes narrowed slightly, extremely annoyed at Chu Yifeng's overbearing behavior. With her current cultivation level, jumping off the horse was not a difficult task... However, feeling his tense body and the anger he was trying to suppress, she softened in her heart and did not push him away from jumping off the horse.

  The speed of the sweat-blood horse was extremely fast, and with Chu Yifeng urging the horse on without mercy, it didn't take long to arrive at the East Palace. Upon arriving at the gate of the East Palace, he didn't stop either, but instead rode his horse in with a cold face.

  The guards standing at the gate with their heads held high and chests out, gazed at the master's figure entering the mansion, and couldn't help but look at each other in shock.

  "Am I seeing things? Wasn't that Your Highness just now?"

  "Of course, apart from His Highness the Crown Prince, who else in the capital rides a horse with such a noble bloodline?"

  "But... there's actually a woman on the crown prince's horse!" Who didn't know that the crown prince loved that Akhal-Teke horse dearly, and normally wouldn't even let people touch it, yet today he would actually let a woman sit on it, how could they not be shocked out of their wits?!

  ……

  Passing by several beautiful artificial hills, galloping through a garden full of blooming flowers, and then rushing across a vast expanse of crystal-clear lake water... they finally stopped in front of a majestic and elegant building. The precious horse was finally reined in.

  Chuyifeng jumped off the horse, holding the person in his arms, and shouted at the guards who were waiting on duty in the house to retreat. Then, he heavily threw Qin Luoyi onto the soft couch in the room.

  Qin Luo's agile figure sprang up from the soft couch, tossing aside the blue silk that covered her lovely face. She glared at Chu Yifeng in anger and shouted: "Are you crazy? How dare you bring me to the East Palace!"

  The way here was not seen by anyone, but entering the East Palace, this road's movement can't be said to be small! Thinking of those maidservants and eunuchs along the way who were shocked with their mouths agape, she became even more enraged. In order to avoid being seen her true face, she later even had to bury her face deeply into his embrace...

  Chu Yifeng sneered at her, his red eyes locked tightly onto hers: "I must be crazy, Qin Luoyi, you actually...you actually dared to really go and pay respects to a master!"

  In a few days, he will be leaving the Holy Dragon Continent for Penglai Fairy Island... Just thinking about what the old man in green said earlier made him furious and had an urge to kill.

  He stretched out his hand and pinched her chin heavily, saying angrily: "Qin Luoyi, where did that old man come from? Don't tell me he suddenly discovered your innate sacred body physique and wanted to take you as his apprentice! What a coincidence! He didn't take you in earlier or later, but just at this time?"

  Thinking of this period, she often went to Mingyue Pavilion, and also met the young master of the Jian family, Jian Yuyan, feeling that he was not generally familiar with her. A flash of inspiration in her mind, the narrow and long phoenix eyes narrowed dangerously: "That what's-his-name from the Piaoyu Sect, was it Jian Yuyan who introduced you to me? Did you never plan to be with me from the start?"

  The Han Yuan City Jian family and the Jue Chen Palace have been in a deep relationship for generations, while the Jue Chen Palace and the Penglai Immortal Island's sect have a very deep connection. These are things that others may not know about, but the Great Chu imperial family has heard of them.

  Qin Luoyi really can enter the Penglai Gate, apart from Jian Yuyan being the matchmaker, he couldn't find anyone else!

  His chest heaved violently, his heart churning with intense emotions. He had always thought she liked going to Mingyue Pavilion because of the talismans and medicinal herbs inside, but now... her relationship with Jian Yuyan was so close? Close enough that Jian Yuyan would even seek out Shangxian Palace and Penglai for her?!

  Qin Luoyi was shocked in her heart, she didn't expect him to connect the fact that she had become his apprentice so quickly with Jian Yuyan.

  She pursed her red lips and began to explain, "It has nothing to do with Young Master Jian. He was a senior who cured the scar on my face. At that time, he not only healed my face but also discovered that I had a talent for alchemy, so he taught me alchemy... Senior Ge initially took me as his disciple because I could practice alchemy."

  This is half true and half false. It's true that she was taken as a disciple due to her alchemy skills, but the mysterious senior who doesn't exist is naturally false.

  She didn't want to lie to him, but he suspected Jian Yuyan... A few days later, she left, not wanting to bring trouble to Jian Yuyan and the Jian family.

  Although the Jian family is a cultivation world family, their strength is not weak. However, Chu country is after all the largest country on the Holy Dragon Continent, and to be able to dominate this continent where cultivators are numerous, the strength of the Chu family cannot be underestimated. Otherwise, why would Chu Yifeng suspect no one else, but suddenly think of Jian Yuanyan?

  "Will you still refine the elixir?" Chu Yifeng's body shook upon hearing this, his hand gripping her chin tightened, and he gritted his teeth: "Qin Luoyi, how many more things are you hiding from me?"

  "I didn't intentionally hide it from you either, and you've never asked me if I wasn't, have you?" Qin Luo Yi blinked her eyes and glanced at him.

  "I didn't ask you... Can't you just not say anything if I don't ask?! Chu Yifeng's anger intensified: "Do I have to ask before you can speak?! Qin Luoyi, don't think you can use these words to placate me!"

  I'm so angry I could spit blood, this damned woman is obviously intentionally deceiving him.

  Yes, he admitted that he had never asked. He didn't ask, wasn't it because her body couldn't cultivate? Who in the Great Chu State doesn't know, who isn't aware of this? Not only did he not ask, but also rarely mentioned the topic of cultivation in front of her, wasn't it to avoid poking at her sore spot and bringing up her painful past?

  Qin Luo's clothes fell down, revealing her slender and delicate neck, a beautiful shape that made Chu Yifeng feel a little guilty.

  If it weren't for Gao Tianxiang's betrayal earlier, perhaps with time, she might have slowly grown to like this man after all.

  His handsome appearance, noble status, all these are not mentioned, but he was caught by himself, solved the charm poison, did not coldly push her away, let her live or die on her own, this point made her appreciate him very much, Chu Yifeng is a responsible man.

  These past few months, he has not only been working hard to deal with Chu Yuxiu for her sake, but also sent people to find the culprit who poisoned her! In order to let her smoothly dissolve the engagement without hurting anyone's face, he even came up with the idea of making himself a scapegoat by entering the Penglai Sect. Looking at his exhausted appearance this afternoon, it's likely that he hasn't spared any effort for this matter either...

  Unfortunately, they didn't meet at the right time! Getting married and having children, being a wife and teaching children, none of these things interest her now. In the past half year since she crossed over to the Holy Dragon Continent, she has thought about many things.

  Perhaps she wasn't so in love with Gao Tianxiang, otherwise she wouldn't have killed him and Lan Xinmei together without hesitation. It's just that the feeling of being betrayed still makes her heart ache every time she thinks about it.

  Chu Yifeng saw her lowering her head, not speaking, with no expression on her face. A surge of irrepressible pain suddenly spread in his heart, and Qin Luoyi's current appearance made him anxious.

  He suddenly lowered his head and kissed her red lips hard, domineeringly muttering: "Qin Luoyi, you can't! You can't just walk away like this, I won't let go of you, you're mine!"

  It wasn't until he was about to lose her that he realized how important this woman was in his heart.

  His kisses fell heavily on her face, lips, earlobe, and neck, growing deeper and more frantic, one arm embracing her, the other hand restlessly reaching into her clothes...

  Qin Luoyi's breathing quickened, a flush of red rising to her pale face as she tried to dodge his kiss. Chu Yifeng held her too tightly, and she couldn't escape, so she finally used force to push him away.

  She rubbed her red lips hard and looked at Chu Yifeng, who was furious with red eyes, with a flash of apology in her eyes.

  Now that she has decided to leave, she can't get entangled with him again. Chu Yifeng is so furious now only because he has lost control of her. After she leaves, it won't take long for him to forget about her. She doesn't want to roll in the sheets with him when he's so angry and irrational.

  A faint smile that was almost a smile played on the corners of her lips, and she lightly opened her red lips to say: "Your Highness, this is not right, when did the fallen clothes become yours? How could I know!"

  Chu Yifeng's face was cold as he looked at her... his furious emotions gradually subsided, and his rationality slowly returned.

  "You're not mine? Hmph, every inch of your body, where haven't I seen before? Your body, no one is more familiar with it than me... Although we don't have the name of husband and wife, we've long had the reality of it. Yier, it's only been half a year, could you have really forgotten? Back then in the mountains, how did we entwine to the death? If you really forgot, I don't mind reminding you again." After finishing speaking, he walked towards her with eyes full of evil intentions and an extremely passionate expression.

  Qin Luo Yi stepped back a few steps, twitched the corner of his mouth and dryly laughed: "What's this about being deeply entwined? Wasn't I poisoned back then?"

  "Poisoned, just because I'm poisoned, you can attack me? Qin Luoyi, this account, I haven't settled with you yet!" He took another step closer to her, his hand shooting out swiftly to grab her.

  Qin's clothes fluttered down to the ground, and he quickly made way again, secretly rolling his eyes. Just now, he still thought Qin was okay in private, but unexpectedly, Qin brought up old debts: "I didn't know you were the crown prince at that time, okay?"

  If she had known he was the crown prince earlier, she would have gone out of her way to catch another one, rather than lay a hand on him. Men with too much power are just so troublesome!

  "Qin Luoyi, you still have spiritual power on your body... How many things are you hiding from me?" Chu Yifeng's face turned completely black with anger as he saw her incredibly agile movements.

  Just now when she pushed herself away, he felt something was off... After a slight probe, he found that her speed of moving away was in no way slower than his full-force movement. This was not the cultivation of Tempering Body Initial Stage!

  "This... uh, my spiritual power, was previously cultivated through taking elixirs. After Master took me as his disciple, he helped me unblock my meridians, and only then could I use my spiritual power. Before that, I had spiritual power but couldn't use it. Besides this, there's nothing else I'm hiding from you." Qin Luoyi saw how angry he was and hastily opened her mouth to explain.

  "What are you doing now?" Chu Yifeng's handsome face tensed up again as he spoke.

  "It should be the peak of martial arts." Qin Luo Yi smiled and retreated a bit, Chu Yifeng looked too dangerous now, she'd better keep a distance.

  "Is this the peak of martial arts?" Chu Yifeng's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness, and he let out a light hum: "Indeed worthy of being that pre-heavenly sacred body, Qin Luoyi. I'll ask you one last time, do you really want to go to Penglai? Won't you reconsider?" His voice was icy cold, like the freezing ice on a winter's night, making people shiver tightly.

  What else is she considering?

  Qin Luo Yi was both amused and annoyed, if she didn't go, would she really stay behind and fulfill the marriage with Chu Yu Xiu? This was the only way they had come up with to dissolve the engagement... although, uh, in the end she made a rather unkind change!

  "I've already become an apprentice, of course I have to go!" She can cultivate again, but what she's been dreaming of now is something she absolutely won't give up.

  Chu Yifeng stared at her for a moment before suddenly saying: "You can go cultivate too, but... you have to marry me first!"

  "How is this possible!" Qin Luo Yi shook her head vigorously, don't even think about it! Not to mention that she had no intention of getting married, even if she did get married, he was the crown prince, after all. If they got married, how could she still cultivate?

  "How could it be impossible? You said... you're going to have my child in your belly, and your father the king and your master... won't they let us get married and go to Penglai?" Chu Yifeng stroked his chin, narrowing his eyes as he thought about this possibility.

  "Is there a kid in your belly?" Qin Luo was thoroughly speechless: "You can dream on, I'm too lazy to talk to you!" She turned around him and walked towards the door, she didn't want to stay here anymore, what needed to be said had been said clearly, it's better for her to leave.

  Chu Yifeng stared at her back, humming softly: "Qin Luoyi, since you've come to the East Palace, do you think you can still leave without my permission?"

  With a light clap of his hands, countless black-clad men suddenly appeared out of thin air, surrounding the house and sealing off all escape routes.

  Qin Luo's expression didn't change, she turned her head and smiled at him: "Your Highness, you won't know if you can make it unless you try!" She pushed open the door and walked out without hesitation.

  Chu Yifeng followed her out and stood beside her, glancing at the surrounding guards before his mocking gaze fell on her face: "Do you still need to try? Your martial arts skills are at their peak, although slightly higher than mine. However, my Eastern Palace guards can easily take you down!" His handsome face was filled with arrogance and confidence.

  "Not bad, I'm no match for them in a fierce battle, but leaving here shouldn't be a problem." Qin Luo's lips curved slightly, and the sparkling color in her phoenix eyes flashed by.

  The talismans in her storage space were enough to deal with these seemingly powerful guards.

  Seeing her so confident, Chu Yifeng's expression changed, and he turned to the guards and ordered in a low voice: "Take her down for me!" After finishing speaking, he retreated and stood aside with his hands behind his back, coldly staring at her.

  "Do you really want to take action?" Qin Luo furrowed her brow. Swords and knives have no eyes, her talismans also have no eyes, these are all people from the East Palace, she really didn't want to hurt them.

  "Have you changed your mind?" Chu Yifeng's eyes flashed with a cold glint as he asked.

  "Go ahead and lay hands on them if you dare! I won't be responsible for your injuries!" Qin Luo Yi sneered.

  "Joke? You'd better worry about yourself first!" Seeing her still being stubborn, Chu Yifeng sneered coldly. With a wave of his hand, a group of guards rushed up at an extremely fast speed.

  Qin's clothes fluttered as his body moved, and he quickly welcomed the attack. A powerful surge of spiritual energy shot forward, blasting directly at the black-clad guard in front of him.

  Just as Chu Yifeng said, the cultivation of these guards was not weak, and even the weakest one was stronger than her. They were probably all elites from the East Palace. Her spiritual power blasted out, but it fell empty, and while she launched an attack, several guards had already approached her body from behind and from the sides, and they seemed to be about to subdue her.

  Qin Luo Yi turned around, the corners of his lips curved slightly, and he threw down a talisman that could slow down their movements at them. Like a fish swimming away, he dodged out from under the hands of those guards.

  Chu Yifeng's pupils contracted, his hands behind his back clenched into fists, and his veins bulged out.

  Most of the guards were at the level of Zun, and a few had even reached the level of Grandmaster. Qin Luo's clothes could slow down their movements, and the symbol on his robe was probably a sixth-grade delay symbol at most!

  "With this thing on your body, no wonder you dare to say you want to leave!" He coldly said: "However, I'd like to see how many talismans you have on your body, enough for you to squander!"

  With another wave of his hand, another batch of black-clad guards emerged from the shadows, just as numerous as before.

  Qin Luoyi looked around at the dense crowd of people, and cold sweat also broke out on his body, not daring to be careless. However, a smile still lingered on his face, and his black eyes flashed with cunning as he said, "Not many, but enough to deal with them!"

  She pulled out a handful of petrification talismans from her space and threw them out without even looking at how many there were. In an instant, the people around her were petrified in a large area, standing, jumping in mid-air, standing on one foot... all sorts of poses, including various attacking postures, were all frozen in place, it was quite a sight to behold.

  "Qin Luo Yi! You're dead!" Chu Yifeng's face turned black as ink, and he could no longer remain calm, personally leading his men to charge forward.

  Qin Luo Yi blinked, pulled out a handful again, and threw it out without hesitation. Then, with a swift movement, she quickly escaped towards the outside of the East Palace.

  Chu Yifeng was also frozen in place, his face pale and his eyes wide open as he watched her leave.

  There were several who were powerful, quick-witted and not fixed in place, immediately chasing after her. However, they observed the situation and knew that this woman's relationship with the prince was not ordinary, so they didn't dare to kill her, holding back their attacks. Soon, Qin Luo took advantage of the opportunity and used a restraint symbol on them.

  Out of the East Palace, Qin Luoyi wiped the sweat from her forehead and continued to rush outwards. Her talismans were powerful, but she didn't know how long they could hold those people back. If they caught up with her, it would be troublesome.

  Chu Yifeng's people were reserved towards her, and she was no exception. Apart from the Restraining Talisman and the Delaying Talisman, she didn't use any other aggressive talismans; she really didn't want to hurt his people.

  She ran for several miles, and no one caught up with her from behind. Only then did she completely put her mind at ease, turned her head back to silently gaze at the magnificent palace hidden in the darkness, and let out a soft sigh.

  "What's wrong, can't bear to leave?" A sarcastic and icy voice suddenly sounded beside her.

  Qin Luo Yi frowned and turned her head, seeing a black figure standing under the big tree ten meters away. A dark color flashed in her phoenix eyes, and she cursed silently to herself: Chu Yu Xiu, he's indeed been monitoring me!

  Chu Yixiu's expression was indifferent, and he slowly walked over from a distance, his sharp eyes fixed tightly on her: "Qin Luoyi, this is the real reason you didn't want to marry me, isn't it?"

  "What do you mean by that?" Qin Luo's eyebrows furrowed even tighter as he stared back at him with an equally expressionless face.

  Chu Yixiu sneered, his eyes flashing with a frenzied bloodlust: "What do you mean, must I spell it out for you? The Guardian Sand on your hand is gone... Tell me, who is the adulterer? If you speak up, in the Imperial Prince's residence, I can still grant you a concubine position. Otherwise..."

  He averted his gaze and looked in the direction of the East Palace, with cold-blooded and ruthless killing intent at the bottom of his eyes.

  Qin's clothes fell off in surprise.

  This is probably the real Chuyi Xiu, and his usual gentle and soft demeanor was just a disguise.

  If this matter is really dragged out, whether it's a rumor or a fact, it will definitely have a huge impact on Chu Yifeng. The incident originated from her and she doesn't want to implicate him.

  She slightly raised her chin, curled up the corners of her mouth and sneered: "A scoundrel? I have many scoundrels, which one do you want me to tell you about?"

  He even gave her a concubine position, this man is really infuriating! Who does he think he is?

  Chu Yixiu's face suddenly turned iron-green, and he thought of Jian Yuanyan again, whom he had seen at the foot of the mountain last night... A wave of nausea surged up his throat.

  "You're such a shameless woman!" Chu Yuxiu hadn't spoken yet, but Du Yu Die suddenly jumped out from the side, her face filled with contempt and anger as she shouted at her: "In a few days you'll be marrying into the Third Prince's household, and you actually dare to do something that wrongs my cousin! Hmph, the King of Zhen Nan really did raise a good daughter! Luckily my cousin discovered your true nature early on!"

  A hint of triumph flashed across her eyes, and she turned to Chu Yixiu with a face full of righteous indignation: "Brother-in-law, this matter must be told to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. A woman as shameless as this cannot be let off lightly!"

  Following her out, Du Yuzhao's fifth brother, Du Lengye, also nodded and echoed in a gloomy tone: "Yes, Your Highness, this matter must be reported to the Emperor as soon as possible!" They still didn't know about Qin Luoyi becoming an apprentice at Penglai Piaomiao Sect.

  Du Yu's marriage to the Third Prince's mansion was hopeless, and she didn't break anything on her way back. However, Chu Yuxiu personally promised that Du Lengye would help his sister, but he couldn't do it at all. Now, however, it was a heaven-sent opportunity. As long as someone from the palace came to examine Qin Luoyi's body, Qin Luoyi wouldn't die, but at least she would be ruined and her reputation would be lost. Three days later, she wouldn't even think about marrying into the Third Prince's mansion again.

  Qin Luoyi gazed at the two siblings who suddenly popped out, a flash of murderous intent in her phoenix-like eyes.

  Chu Yixiu also furrowed his brow.

  "What matter must be reported to the Emperor as soon as possible? Speak up, I'd like to hear it too!" A sinister voice suddenly rang out, Chu Yifeng led the Eastern Palace guards, slowly walking over from afar, his smiling gaze sweeping towards Du Yu Die and Du Leng Ye, the two siblings.
