Prince Rui had a dull expression. He had used the Star-Guiding Stone, but still hadn't figured out why his son had become like this. He suspected that it was the work of the evil cultivators again. Since he couldn't solve it, he changed his thinking and adopted the method of "fighting poison with poison". He wanted to find a cultivator who could bewitch people's minds to bewitch his son.
However, Prince Rui did not intend to tell Haitang the truth. Instead, he said, "I want to train my son's ability to withstand pressure and prevent him from being deceived by women in the future. So I need you to teach him a lesson."
Haitang had a look of sudden enlightenment on her face and said, "So that's how it is... I will definitely complete my master's mission well."
…
…
Prince Rui's Mansion.
After Yuan Zhan was confined to his room, he spent his days reading and writing. Since no one in the palace dared to mistreat him, he lived a carefree and comfortable life. Until today, when Yuan Zhan's door opened and a guard said respectfully, "Your Highness, you may leave."
"Father has lifted my confinement order?"
"Yes."
Yuan Zhan felt puzzled, but he didn't think much of it. After all, his father only had him as his son, and there was no way he could lock him up forever. He walked out of the room and asked, "Where is my father?"
The guard shook his head and said, "The prince is not in the palace."
"Alright." Yuan Zhan hadn't been out for a long time, and since he had a rare chance to go out, he wanted to relax. He burned incense, bathed, changed into a clean white shirt, and walked out of the palace gate. Just as he was about to go to the street, he suddenly heard a woman's mournful plea for mercy from not far away: "Please, let me go..."
Yuan Zhan looked intently and saw two burly men surrounding a delicate girl in a pink dress. They reached out and pulled at her clothes, opening her collar and revealing her smooth, delicate white skin and her beautiful collarbone.
Yuan Zhan immediately shouted, "What are you doing?"
The burly man turned around, looking at Yuan Zhan with a ferocious expression. He clenched his fists and said, "Who do you think you are? How dare you question us?"
Yuan Zhan was completely unafraid. Although he was just an ordinary man, he had been trained in the army and had learned some martial arts. Whenever he traveled, even if no one was accompanying him openly, he would always be protected by guards in secret. Moreover, Prince Rui's palace was not far away. Therefore, Yuan Zhan had no concerns for his own safety. He strode forward and said calmly, "Let this girl go."
"Haha, who do you think you are to dare to order me around?" One of the sturdy men grinned and swung his fist at Yuan Zhan. The next second, there was a scream of "Ah!" and the sturdy man's body drew a beautiful parabola in the air and fell heavily to the ground. Beside Yuan Zhan, a guard wrapped in black clothes appeared. The guard had a black mask on his face, revealing only a pair of cold and ruthless eyes. Obviously, it was he who had knocked the sturdy man away.
The black-clad guard turned his head coldly and looked at another burly man standing there.
The sturdy man shuddered and said quickly, "Sorry, I'll get out of here!"
His face turned pale and he ran away without caring about his companions who had been knocked away earlier.
The black-clad guard turned to look at Yuan Zhan, and seeing that Yuan Zhan remained indifferent, he did not pursue him. His body turned into a black shadow and slowly disappeared from the spot.
The strong man lying on the ground seemed to realize that he had offended someone he shouldn't have offended, and he crawled away.
The woman in the pink dress had a frightened expression on her face, one of her shoulders was half covered, and her spring-water eyes were filled with tears. Although her appearance was ordinary, her eyes were as beautiful as shining gems, adding a touch of brightness to her.
Yuan Zhan had seen many beauties before, but in terms of looks, the woman in the pink dress couldn't even be ranked. However, her eyes held a unique charm that made Yuan Zhan feel a bit of pity for her. He took off his coat, handed it to the woman in the pink dress, and said, "Miss, this is for you. Put it on quickly."
"Thank you for saving my life, my name is Haitang."
Haitang grabbed her skirt with one hand, and took Yuan Zhan's coat with the other hand, gently putting it on herself. Her movements were particularly delicate and beautiful. During this process, tears in her eyes dripped and flowed down her cheeks.
Yuan Zhan looked at her and inexplicably felt an urge to wipe away her tears. However, when his hand was stretched out in mid-air, a picture suddenly flashed through his mind. The beauty in the picture was graceful and elegant, but her expression was lonely and cold, like the bright moon hanging high in the night sky, shining coldly and clearly, but out of reach.
Yuan Zhan retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted, his eyes darkening slightly: Why did he suddenly think of Lan Zhi just now?
Lan Zhi is already dirty, why is he still thinking about her?
As he was thinking, Yuan Zhan's gaze once again intertwined with Haitang's. His thoughts were momentarily lost in thought, and gradually, he suddenly realized that Haitang's appearance had become exactly like Lanzhi's...
Haitang put on his coat and said softly, "Young Master, I have no way to repay you for saving my life. If you don't mind, I am willing to marry you..."
Yuan Zhan wanted to refuse, but looking at Haitang's face, he couldn't bring himself to say no. He nodded blankly and said, "Okay, let's get married as soon as possible."
Haitang thought: It's so easy to take the bait?
Then he felt that it was natural. The souls of mortals were weak and could not resist her bewitching power at all. She could create visual deception through eye contact. If Yuan Zhan did not have a lover, then Haitang's face would still be the same. If Yuan Zhan had someone he liked in his heart, then in Yuan Zhan's eyes, Haitang's appearance would gradually become that of his lover.
"May I know your name, sir?" Haitang asked.
