Chapter 172
She remembered that in the second erotic dream she had, she felt that her swordsmanship level seemed to have improved.
Upon realizing this, she was startled and quickly shook her head, rejecting her guess.
No, no.
But what Sheng Bailan said next completely stunned her.
"Actually... for the past two years, I've been suffering terribly, day and night, filled with unbearable torment and bitterness. I didn't want to leave you, but I also know I don't deserve you. I'm so sorry..."
Hearing Sheng Bailan's monologue, Xiao Minghuang also felt a pang of sadness. She was perceptive and knew that what the other party said was all true and sincere, without any intention of deception.
"Bai Lan, you don't need to do this. Our previous agreement is not null and void, and besides..."
As he spoke, Xiao Minghuang sat down beside her, took Sheng Bailan's hand, and their fingers intertwined.
"Our promise will never change. I will never let you leave me. We will never abandon each other!"
Hearing Xiao Minghuang's firm and persistent voice, Sheng Bailan's eyes instantly welled up with tears, which rolled down her cheeks.
Xiao Minghuang reached out and wiped away her tears.
"Actually, I did something I'm sorry for, but... but it was..."
Sheng Bailan spoke haltingly, her eyes filled with tears.
Although Xiao Minghuang didn't know what she had done to offend her, all she needed to do at this moment was to smile and comfort her.
She gently pulled Sheng Bailan into her arms and tenderly comforted her:
"It's okay, whatever you did, I forgive you."
"Really?"
Sheng Bailan sniffled twice and asked in a low voice.
"More real than real gold."
Sheng Bailan stopped sobbing and said softly:
"Actually, I obtained this dual cultivation technique by chance two years ago. That night... I was afraid you wouldn't agree, so I drugged you... and then..."
"You... you... so it really was..."
Xiao Minghuang's expression suddenly changed, and she could barely speak.
She never imagined that Sheng Bailan would actually do such a despicable thing to her, and that he would do it secretly after drugging her.
She initially thought it was a dream!
If Lin Wanqiu hadn't reminded her, she certainly wouldn't have had any doubts.
If I hadn't left the Princess Mansion in the past two years, I might have been humiliated by Sheng Bailan again!
Thinking about this...
Xiao Minghuang was furious!
She, the Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty and the only princess, was actually drugged and forced to do that kind of thing!
She wasn't against cultivating together with Sheng Bailan.
Her first reaction wasn't to reject dual cultivation with Sheng Bailan.
Rather, this woman's methods were so despicable that they severely damaged her reputation!
If this gets out, not to mention others...
Just the thought of Ye Ruoshui and Lin Wanqiu is enough to make her laugh to death!
Not to mention, what would the elders like the Emperor Xia and our Old Ancestor say about it?
In the future, the romantic tales of Princess Ziwei may circulate throughout the streets and alleys of the Great Xia.
On a dark and windy night, Princess Ziwei was cultivating alone in her room when a wisp of white mist drifted in. The princess let out a soft moan, her body writhing uncontrollably, as if yearning for something...
The thought of this made Xiao Minghuang tremble with anger.
"That despicable Sheng Bailan, she has ruined my lifelong reputation!"
She angrily rebuked Sheng Bailan.
But at this moment, Sheng Bailan took the dual cultivation manual and presented it to Xiao Minghuang with both hands as if it were a treasure.
"If the princess wishes to punish me, then please use the methods recorded here!"
A faint blush appeared on Sheng Bailan's fair and delicate face.
Upon hearing her words, Xiao Minghuang was speechless.
"You... you..."
At this moment, Sheng Bailan suddenly got up, pushed her down onto the bed, and pressed her chin against her chest. Her originally cool and delicate face was now flushed, with a hint of shyness.
"Princess, you are the one I love most, and the only one I will ever love. I don't want to lose you, please don't leave me, I beg you..."
"Your Princess Your Highness, please use this method to punish me, so that I will remember today's lesson."
Xiao Minghuang's lips twitched violently twice.
That woman has some nerve!
She even calls herself a slave?
Role-playing?
But what she said...
Xiao Minghuang's eyes darted around, and she had an idea in mind.
Anyway, what's done is done, and there's no going back.
It's better to let go of irrelevant past events, face reality, and enjoy the present.
A charming and alluring smile appeared on Xiao Minghuang's face.
She pulled Sheng Bailan into her arms, brought her lips close to Sheng Bailan's ear, and whispered:
"Bai Lan, do you really want me, the princess, to punish you?"
"Um!"
Sheng Bailan nodded heavily, her face flushing even more intensely.
"Alright, are you ready?"
Xiao Minghuang asked softly, her voice alluring.
"This servant is ready!"
Sheng Bailan nodded and buried her head deeply in Xiao Minghuang's arms.
Xiao Minghuang suddenly smiled, reached out and pinched Sheng Bailan's small, round chin, forcing her to look at her, then slowly lowered her head and planted a kiss on Sheng Bailan's lips.
Her lips were warm and sweet.
The kiss wasn't deep, but it was enough to make Sheng Bailan's heart race.
Xiao Minghuang raised her head and asked meaningfully:
"Alright, since that's the case, I'll reluctantly agree. But first, you have to tell me how you want me to punish you."
"This servant wants Your Highness to punish people... here, and there..."
"Hmm? Besides that? What else?"
"Your Highness... you're so annoying..."
That night was slow and long.

The next day, early morning.
The two stayed up all night, diligently studying swordsmanship until dawn.
Xiao Minghuang is energetic and has a special physique, while Sheng Bailan has a higher cultivation level. Their combat strength can be described as evenly matched.
Xiao Minghuang got up from the bed, dressed, glanced at the soundly sleeping Sheng Bailan, a slight smile playing on her lips, and turned to leave.
That night, her swordsmanship improved significantly.
Thanks to the "Twin Swords Fusion Sword Technique," her swordsmanship level broke through to the Great Perfection of Sword Intent, making her on par with Sheng Bailan.
Xiao Minghuang was confident that if the Dragon Tiger True Person stood before her now, she could kill him even if she activated the National Destiny!
This is the confidence that comes with the Pure Yang Fire Spirit Seed, the Innate Pure Yang Fire Spirit Body, the Heavenly Rank Five Elements Spiritual Root, and the Great Perfection Sword Intent.
Not to mention, she also has many other methods.
The Major Accomplishment Perfection Divine Power Daytime Star Manifestation; the Innate Divine Ability Stars Like Rain and Crimson Flames Patrol the Heavens.
Magical Mountain River Town Mountain Seal, Lesser Heavenly Star Chart.
These combined methods allow her to be fearless of any Primal Embryo Realm expert even without influencing the National Destiny!
If it were within the Great Xia territory, triggering the National Destiny, it could even kill any Primal Embryo Realm!
"We still have to go to the Fire Dragon Country for rescue today; I almost told Wanqiu."
Xiao Minghuang suddenly remembered her promise to the Twenty-Eight Star Officials yesterday to take them out for training.
Immediately, she went straight to the Imperial Palace.
After resolving Sheng Bailan's troubles, Ye Ruoshui and Lin Wanqiu were able to return to the Princess Mansion.
Before long, she met Lin Wanqiu.
Two years later, Xiao Minghuang suddenly realized that Lin Wanqiu had matured a lot.
She was slender and tall, wearing a moon-white silk dress with a golden tassel tied at the waist that reached her ankles. Her long, jet-black hair was styled in a high bun, and she looked more mature than before.
At this moment, Lin Wanqiu was discussing the expedition plan with the generals when she saw Xiao Minghuang arrive, and immediately got up to greet her.
"Your Highness!"
All the generals and officers bowed in homage.
No need for formalities.
Xiao Minghuang smiled, waved her hand, and got straight to the point:
"I will personally go to rescue the Fire Dragon Country this time. You and Ruoshui will come with me."
Lin Wanqiu naturally had no objection to this; she was overjoyed that His Highness would accompany her on the expedition.
"With His Highness personally leading the charge, a resounding victory is assured!"
"Hehe, well said!"
Xiao Minghuang was not modest at all and readily accepted the flattery.
Next, the generals and commanders went to reorganize the army.
The royal family's Divine Sea Realm and Spirit Seed Realm retainers were led by Xiao Minghuang himself and set off first.
After all, the Fire Dragon Country was on the verge of collapse, and the sooner they arrived, the more peace and tranquility they could bring to the people.
When the group of worshippers saw the Twenty-Eight Star Officials, they were all greatly surprised.
"So young, yet already at the Divine Sea Realm!"
"The oldest one looks no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, yet his progress is terrifying!"
"Princess Ziwei's forces are truly full of talented people. It is my great fortune to join the Great Xia!"
Xiao Minghuang saw the astonishment at the Imperial Family Enshrined but said nothing.
