A Thousand Three Hundred and Ninth Chapter: So Embarrassed She Wanted to Cry
Eating a meal with a mouthful of excrement would make anyone curse, let alone Hongyi, a high-ranking princess with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Even when taking medicine, she could hardly tolerate this kind of filthy essence, let alone eating it!
She felt the nausea in her stomach growing stronger. She instinctively covered her mouth, her pretty face turning pale, her expression one of utter agony.
She wished she could turn her stomach inside out and wash it thoroughly for three days and three nights.
Behind Princess Hongyi were many of her friends, who were also frequent guests of Princess Hongyi Mingxin Xuan. These people were all wealthy and noble, and some were even from the royal family.
Their status was inherently superior, and they were naturally arrogant. They used to regard dining at Mingxin Xuan as a fashionable and elegant experience, but now that they had learned of this, they were almost driven mad.
Several Heavenly Proud Daughter spoiled and pampered, couldn't hold back any longer. They covered their mouths and rushed out to retch.
Only then did they realize the meaning of Yi Yun's unfinished sentence—"Why is your mouth so foul? You must have just eaten shit!" This wasn't Yi Yun cursing; Princess Hongyi had actually eaten shit, and Yi Yun was deliberately teasing her with this remark.
In most people's minds, eating excrement was something unattainable; even the mentally challenged and idiots wouldn't do it. But now, it's happening to them. These are the people who treat eating excrement as fashionable and even praise each other for it.
"Aaaaaah! I'll kill you!"
Princess Hongyi went berserk. The series of events today had greatly stimulated her. She was already furious and embarrassed, and the final incident of eating feces made her completely explode!
She really wanted to beat Alchemist Zhang up, but considering their strength, she knew she was no match for Alchemist Zhang.
She also hated Yi Yun, the instigator.
Although Yi Yun told her the truth, such public ridicule made her lose face. She was of royal lineage; how could she ever establish herself in the Cloud-Leaving Empire again?
She could imagine that in the future, when people saw her, they would no longer treat her with respect and shame, but would gossip behind her back—"Is she the princess who ate shit?"
The thought of this drove Princess Hongyi to the brink of madness.
"What? The murderous look in your eyes, are you planning to attack me? I saved you from the abyss of eating shit, and instead of being grateful, you repay kindness with enmity?"
Yi Yun said with a smile that he knew that many times, some people lived in a dream, and if someone appeared to wake them up from that dream, that person would often attract hatred.
Hearing Yi Yun's words, Princess Hongyi turned green with anger. This damned Yi Yun, who kept hurling insults like "eat shit," was simply provoking her.
She wanted nothing more than to tear Yi Yun's mouth off, but she didn't dare to do it. She was afraid that if she really fought with Yi Yun, he would keep saying "I'm a glutton for food" while fighting, and she would collapse before she even had a few moves left!
She dared not look at Yi Yun anymore, but instead looked at Shopkeeper Su, the woman who had almost become her sworn sister. She had been so kind to her back then, but now, recalling all that she had done for her, Princess Hongyi felt nauseous, as if she had eaten the Cloud Hidden Phoenix Seeks Phoenix.
Shopkeeper Su was terrified by Princess Hongyi's gaze. She didn't know how to explain, but at that moment, Princess Hongyi said coldly, "Third Uncle, send men to surround Mingxin Xuan!"
Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Su's face turned pale. She was extremely flustered, knowing that after today, Mingxin Xuan's reputation would be completely ruined!
Although Mingxin Xuan is backed by the Danxin Sect, once it breaks ties with Yunze City, regardless of who suffers the loss, she, as the manager, will bear an inescapable responsibility. Upon returning to the sect, she will definitely be punished, or even abandoned.
"Master Zhang... Alchemist Zhang..."
Shopkeeper Su was at his wits' end and turned to Alchemist Zhang for help. However, Alchemist Zhang was also in dire straits, barely able to save himself. The elixir he had personally refined and dissolved had been easily restored by a junior. How could he save face?
The situation was out of control. Apart from Princess Hongyi other friends were no ordinary people either. They each had their own influence in Yunze City. Mingxin Xuan had suddenly offended so many people and had become the target of everyone's anger. For the young talents present, this was even more unbearable than the potential damage to their lives.
Some people have already lit Sound Transmission Talisman to spread the word; their identities dictate that they cannot suffer in silence like this.
"Zhang Linze, even if you have the Danxin Sect behind you, you still need to give an explanation for this. I don't care about the little bit of spirit jade I spent at Mingxin Xuan Pavilion, but I don't want to be made a fool of."
A young man spoke up. He was of great importance, being the son of the Grand Preceptor of the Cloud-Leaving Empire. Coupled with his extraordinary talent, his status surpassed that of Princess Hongyi. This young man was one of the most distinguished guests at Princess Hongyi's birthday banquet.
Alchemist Zhang did not respond. His face was ashen. He was the main person in charge of the outer industries of the Danxin Sect. He was in charge of what dishes Mingxin Xuan sold and how it was run. It was also his decision to use that disgraceful pill formula in the dishes. Originally, because of this decision, Mingxin Xuan was making a fortune every day, which made Zhang Linze's status in the Danxin Sect rise. But now that such a thing has suddenly happened, it has greatly damaged the reputation of the Danxin Sect. Danxin Sect will definitely punish him.
And all of this is because of Yi Yun!
He stared at Yi Yun, wishing he could tear Yi Yun's Soul Extraction and Marrow Refining, and grind his bones to dust!
At this moment, Yi Yun seemed completely oblivious to Zhang Linze's murderous gaze. He stroked his chin, raised the Beauty Enhancing Pill in his hand, and said, "I'm taking this pill with me. If you want to verify the formula, you can contact me anytime."
"Princess Hongyi, although you have been so kind to invite me to stay, I really have no interest in the 'food' at Mingxin Xuan. I won't disturb your birthday celebration any longer. Please enjoy your meal and conversation. We'll be leaving now."
He gestured for Jingyue Sha and the others to leave. At this moment, Jingyue Sha had not yet fully recovered from her dazed state. She had not expected things to develop to this point, and she now felt a little sorry for Princess Hongyi.
Just imagining Princess Hongyi eating excrement while praising it and recommending it to her friends makes Jingyue Sha unable to bear it.
Even as a bystander, she was so embarrassed she wanted to cry; one can only imagine how Princess Hongyi and these talented young men must have felt.
Fortunately, although Mingxin Xuan gave her a VIP card, she never used it, otherwise she would have felt like she needed to have her stomach pumped.
"Yue Sha is gone."
The Lord of Pure Moon Island spoke, and at this point, there was no longer any need to linger.
From being bullied by Princess Hongyi and Shopkeeper Su at the beginning, to this chaotic situation now, although she left Mingxin Xuan without eating a single bite, her feelings are completely different.
The Lord of Pure Moon Island gave Yi Yun a deep look. This reversal was so unbelievable, yet Yi Yun had accomplished it.
It's quite remarkable that this young man happened to know Mingxin Xuan's ancient secret recipe and could recognize it at a glance.
