Chapter 44: Crown Princess, Please Behave Yourself! The Legend of Catching an Adulterer in Bed?

Night had fallen, and chaos reigned outside the East Palace, yet the East Palace itself remained serene!

Inside the vast Crown Prince's palace, Ning Ye had already searched the entire palace by the light streaming in through the windows.

The hidden compartment in the dressing table was empty!

The Crown Princess's wardrobe secret compartment—nothing there!

There wasn't one in the training room or the dark room either!

Finally, Ning Ye walked into the bath behind the screen, his gaze fixed on the stone dragon sculpture in the water. As if he had noticed something, he stepped forward and reached out to touch the slightly damp dragon sculpture. When he placed his hand on the pair of dragon eyes that were the size of luminous pearls, he felt a surge of emotion.

Snap!

The dragon's eyes sank.

The sound of mechanical rotation emanated from the white jade walls of the bathhouse.

Rumble!!!

The wall in front of Ning Ye opened.

Golden light spilled out from the slowly opening cracks in the wall.

"Found it!"

Ning Ye took a deep breath and then slowly walked into the newly opened secret room.

As soon as he entered the secret room, he was dazzled by the luxurious scene before him.

Piles of gold coins were stacked into small mountains, from which the dazzling golden light emanated.

Not only gold coins, but the secret chamber also contained all sorts of rare treasures!

"The Crimson Phoenix Gold needed to forge divine-level weapons!"

"The miraculous healing elixir, the ten-thousand-year-old snow lotus!"

"An extremely rare and priceless Enlightenment Pill!"

.....

Looking at the countless rare cultivation resources before him, Ning Ye couldn't help but marvel. Finally, he focused his gaze on a jade box. Opening the box, he saw a crystal-clear jade stone engraved with mysterious runes. This was the key to enter the ninth forbidden area of the Scripture Pavilion!

"Found it!"

Ning Ye breathed a sigh of relief. Now that he had this secret jade, he could sneak into the ninth forbidden area of the Scripture Pavilion without anyone noticing.

With that thought gone, Ning Ye picked up the secret jade and prepared to leave the secret chamber without saying a word. But just then, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"The Crimson Phoenix Gold is quite good; taking a few pieces wouldn't be unreasonable!"

"A snow lotus that lasts for ten thousand years is not bad either!"

"The Enlightenment Pill is alright!"

...

Ning Ye spent three minutes looting all the treasures in the secret room that caught his eye. After all, he had come all this way, so it wouldn't be right not to take something with him. As for the gold coins, he didn't touch them, since he wasn't a greedy person and he didn't need them anyway!

Just as he walked out of the secret room with his bountiful harvest, preparing to head to the library, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Inside the dark palace, a beautiful figure sat on the large palace bed, clearly having been waiting for a long time!

"Crown Princess, Mu Li!"

Ning Ye murmured to himself.

It was late at night.

"Your Highness the Tenth Prince, you certainly have plenty of energy!"

Mu Li watched Ning Ye silently, then let out a sarcastic remark without any emotion.

Hehe!

Upon hearing this, Ning Ye shrugged and replied without batting an eye.

"Your Highness is joking!"

"The Eastern Palace is too big!"

Even I get lost!

Sorry to disturb you tonight!

After saying that, Ning Ye was about to use the Eight Steps of the Heavenly Demon to leave the palace when he saw Mu Li slowly get up and walk to the palace gate before him. With a bang, she actually locked the door from the inside.

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess."

What do you mean by this?

Ning Ye frowned slightly, a chaotic immortal light flickering deep within his eyes. He was on high alert, knowing that Mu Li came from the Yin-Yang Sect, so he knew that nothing good was coming next.

"Your Highness, Tenth Prince, are you already leaving?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Li glanced at Ning Ye, then raised her jade-like hand to remove the gorgeous gilded long dress she was wearing and threw it onto the bed.

At this moment, the high and mighty Crown Princess was only wearing a white undergarment. Under the moonlight, she was so beautiful and flawless that she was dazzling to behold!

Mu Li's aloof and ethereal face remained expressionless, her narrow, beautiful eyes filled with determination and a resolute, all-or-nothing resolve.

It must be said that at this moment, she was like a perfect combination of a celestial maiden untouched by worldly affairs and a bewitching enchantress in a chaotic world, possessing both aloofness and charm, capable of making any man fall into her allure and become unable to extricate himself!

"What...is this woman trying to do?"

Ning Ye stared blankly at Mu Li, full of questions. He had already prepared for battle, and now Mu Li was playing this death game with him?

Just then, Mu Li slowly walked up to Ning Ye, their toes touching. Ning Ye could even feel Mu Li's slightly disordered breathing and smell her unique body fragrance, which was both intoxicating and mesmerizing, making one unconsciously fall into its allure!

"Your Highness, please have some self-respect!"

Ning Ye took a deep breath and spoke calmly.

Hehehe!

Upon hearing this, Mu Li laughed, a loud and unrestrained laugh.

Then, biting her lip, she looked at Ning Ye with meaningful eyes and whispered...

"Your Highness, do you believe in fate?"

What?

Ning Ye was stunned for a moment, not understanding what the woman was talking about.

Mu Li suddenly leaned forward and breathed softly into Ning Ye's ear, her beautiful eyes sparkling with a pink allure.

"Your Highness, the Tenth Prince!"

"Stealing from the Eastern Palace!"

"That's a capital offense!"

The moment the words left her mouth, Ning Ye felt his blood boil and his cheeks burn. A single thought flashed through his mind: he wanted to take the Crown Princess before him. But in an instant, the burning sensation subsided, his mind cleared, and a crisp system notification sounded in his ears.

[Ding! System notification: The Poison of the Enchantress has been removed.]

"The Poison of the Enchantress?"

"The Enchanting Spirit Body!"

"This woman actually possesses the Enchanting Spirit Body!"

Ning Ye was startled. The Enchanting Spirit Body is an absolutely special and rare physique in the Nine Heavens World. Female cultivators with this physique are naturally charming. With every smile and frown, they can bewitch people. Moreover, they are born with the ability to control the Poison of the Enchantress. Once they set their sights on someone, almost no one can escape their grasp!

Most importantly, female cultivators with the Enchanting Spirit Body can also control a well-known Gu poison from the Nine Heavens—the Yin-Yang Gu, or the Love Gu!

There are 300 million poisons in the Nine Heavens Continent, but the Love Gu of the Yin-Yang Sect ranks first!

Legend has it that once someone is poisoned by the Love Gu, they will be enslaved by the one who cast the Gu for eternity, willingly and without any cure!

This is the origin of the saying, "Of all the poisons in the world, the poison of love is the most deadly."

Of course, although the Love Gu is powerful, it can only be cultivated and used by people with the Enchanting Spirit Body, and it can only be used once in a lifetime!

Therefore, it seems that since Mu Li comes from the Yin-Yang Sect and possesses the Enchanting Spirit Body, it is clear that the Yin-Yang Sect's method of dealing with him must be the Love Gu!

"System... Will the Love Gu work on me?"

Ning Ye remembered that his bloodline was immune to all poisons and could annihilate all evil spirits, but just to be on the safe side, he decided to ask.

[Ding! System notification: If the host circulates their bloodline, the Love Gu can be removed.]

[Ding! System notification: If the host reverses their bloodline, they can control the Love Gu.]

"If that's the case... then this is going to be interesting!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Ye couldn't help but smile faintly. It seemed that all he had to do now was wait for the Love Gu to enter his body and then reverse his bloodline.

"It's almost time!"

"The Tenth Prince no longer needs to endure!"

"Because once the Poison of the Enchantress has entered the body, there's no use in enduring it!"

"You must know, this is our destiny!"

Before Ning Ye could even respond, she reached out and grabbed his collar with her delicate hand, then suddenly leaned down and kissed him...

The captivating fragrance of flowers filled the air!

Ning Ye's eyes widened instantly, and his mind went completely blank.

At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind: Damn, I lost my first kiss, but does that mean I've been cursed by the Love Gu?

And at this critical moment!

Clang!

The palace gates opened!

The moonlight gently spilled over the Crown Prince's bedroom.

A tall and imposing figure stepped into the palace under the moonlight.

The person who arrived was none other than Crown Prince Wu Chen.

At this moment, he stared blankly at Ning Ye and Mu Li, who were embracing and kissing, frozen in place as if petrified. After a long while, he finally raised his hand, his fingers trembling as he pointed at Ning Ye and Mu Li, his voice trembling with extreme anger.

"You...you all!"

"How dare you!"

Damn!

Ning Ye shoved Mu Li aside, looking helplessly at Crown Prince Wu Chen, whose face was flushed red with anger. A thought involuntarily surfaced in his mind:

"Caught in the act?"

"Oh my god, am I now the adulterer?!"
