Zuan didn't rush to leave. Instead, he found a stool by the wall and sat down, gently stroking the crystal-clear white Ze horn.
To be honest, he didn't have much hope at first. He always thought that Meng Chan was either planning to take revenge or had other ideas. He never expected that she would actually have the legendary Bai Ze horn.
He had never seen this thing before, so he couldn't help but play with it for a while. He thought to himself, "As expected of a legendary mythical beast, its horns are really beautiful. No wonder Meng Chan was attracted to it when she was a child and secretly kept it."
Zuan pondered that all the other materials were ready. With this item, he could start refining the Marrow Cleansing Pill. This one horn was enough to refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill for a long time.
Clearly, one dose of the Marrow Cleansing Pill is not enough to fill a horn.
At this moment, Meng Chan also sat down next to him. Zu An didn't mind at all; he wasn't used to people being trembling in front of him.
"Regent, what you promised me..." Meng Chan said nervously.
"Don't worry, since you didn't lie to me, I will naturally..." He turned around as he spoke, then suddenly paused, his gaze falling on the deep white cleavage at her neckline.
It must be because she was too flustered when she was getting dressed and didn't get completely dressed, and now she's looking at him in such a low posture that it's easy for anyone to see her.
"Ahem, I will send people to investigate. Those in the Meng family who have committed crimes over the years can forget about it. As for those who are truly innocent, I will give them a way out. As for the Prince of Dai," Zu An paused, "I can spare his life for your sake, but he can forget about cultivating for the rest of his life."
He wasn't stupid; he wouldn't do something like letting a tiger return to the mountain. The Prince of Dai had been completely crippled; whether it was his meridians in his hands and feet or his dantian and sea of qi, he definitely couldn't cultivate anymore.
Meng Chan pursed her lips: "Being alive is enough. Thank you, Regent."
Zu An hummed in agreement, but the scene in the mountain hut at the academy involuntarily surfaced in his mind. He hadn't felt anything at the time, but now, thinking back, Meng Chan was indeed a very beautiful woman with an extremely graceful figure. No wonder she was once considered as one of the contenders for the Crown Prince's consort, on par with Bi Linglong.
What's going on? Why do I suddenly feel a bit hot?
He tugged at his collar, stood up, and said, "Alright, I'm leaving now."
As soon as he finished speaking, he appeared outside the house, just as he was about to take off and return.
Suddenly, there was a thud, and Meng Chan collapsed onto the table, seemingly unconscious.
"Huh?"
Zuan was somewhat puzzled. After all, the other party had just given him the White Ze Horn, and he didn't want anything to happen to her.
"What's wrong with you?" He flashed back into the house and reached out to push her shoulder.
This woman's body is as soft as cotton; how can she be so supple?
Meng Chan let out a soft moan, her hazy eyes seeming to well up with tears, and her red lips appearing even more moist in the candlelight: "I... I don't know, I just suddenly felt a little hot, and a little dizzy and weak."
Zu An frowned. He also felt a bit hot, which was impossible, as he was already immune to heat and cold with his cultivation level.
"Could there be a third party lying in ambush here?"
A thought flashed through his mind. Although he had already checked again with his divine sense, he was still not at ease and scanned the surroundings with his divine sense once more.
There were no problems at all. The nearby residents were all honest and simple people, and none of them showed any signs of cultivation.
Most people were already fast asleep. After all, the nightlife here wasn't as vibrant as it was on Earth in my previous life. Most ordinary people couldn't bear to spend money on lamp oil, so they would go to sleep early. They would get up to work before dawn the next morning and needed to rest and recover.
Indeed, the poorest people in any world suffer the most.
However, there was one exception among the group of people around them; that couple was doing... the exercise of creating a child.
With his divine sense, he could clearly hear the woman's moaning and groaning, which annoyed him greatly.
There was no ambush, no enemy, so what exactly happened?
Could it be that he was secretly poisoned by his political enemies while he was in prison, and the poison is only taking effect now?
He placed his hand on Meng Chan's pulse and felt that her internal energy was very restless, stable yet full of vitality, with no signs of poisoning.
Wait, why does this situation seem so familiar?
Just as he was beginning to understand, Meng Chan let out a soft moan and instinctively grabbed his hand, pressing herself against his chest: "I...I feel so uncomfortable, so hot..."
As she spoke, she unconsciously tugged at her collar. She had only hastily put on her clothes, and after a few tugs, a large section of them had come loose, revealing her delicate collarbone and a touch of snow-capped mountain charm.
Zuan exclaimed, "Your symptoms seem... seem..."
It seems she was drugged with some kind of weird drug, but who exactly drugged her?
At this moment, it was naturally inconvenient for him to push her away and leave. She was clearly in a semi-conscious state, and it was obvious what would happen if he left and someone else came here. After all, she was a princess and should not be reduced to that kind of fate.
At this moment, Meng Chan suddenly realized something and smiled charmingly: "So... the Regent still has feelings for me. I was so embarrassed at the academy that I wanted to crawl into a hole."
At that time, she was heartbroken. She had been the center of attention since childhood and had countless admirers and suitors. Even after she became the acting princess, countless men were willing to frequently visit the palace under the guise of official business just to have a word with her.
