Chapter 146: The Seduction of Princess Mingzhu

Hua Qiyue's eyes opened wide as she heard footsteps!

Meanwhile, Lv Xin and Youshui were asleep. Hua Qiyue sat up gently, and before she could get out of bed, she heard a gentle knock on the door. "Gee, who's knocking?" Although the sound was too subtle to be heard by ordinary people, people like Hua Qiyue, who had practiced, had a very keen sense of hearing.

At that moment.

After Princess Mingzhu knocked on Yun Shimo's door, she ran out of the temple as fast as she could.

It was so hot that people slightly sweat even in the mountain temple.

After all, it hardly rained for half a month. Such dry weather made the air extremely sultry.

Princess Mingzhu's face was flushed. She had been lying in bed, unable to sleep. She was unwilling to let Hua Qiyue become Yun Shimo's wife. However, considering that Hua Qiyue was pregnant with Yun Shimo's child, she would like to be a concubine and give up the position of wife as long as she could marry Yun Shimo.

Unfortunately, Yun Shimo had never looked her in the eye.

She was not content with the result. All sorts of grievances surged up inside her chest. As the daughter of Prince Gong, how could she lose to the daughter of a general?

Racking her brains, she suddenly thought Yun Shimo might be unable to hold on to a woman's seduction because he was no longer a virgin. After all, he had made such a noise with Hua Qiyue during the day—

Hearing the noise they made, everyone thought they were having sex…

Hence, an idea came to Princess Mingzhu.

Princess Mingzhu went to the side of the lotus pond, quickly took off her shoes and stepped into the water.

The water was cool and cold, making her give a cold shudder. Water-like moonlight reflected in her exquisite small face, with clear waves. The beauty and the water highlighted the attractive scene.

Princess Mingzhu didn't think much of Hua Mengshi's disappearance, mainly because after they arrived; none of the nuns mentioned the dark cloud that looked like an evil beast that night.

That was why she didn't feel any fear.

The guards were asleep in the woodshed. Princess Mingzhu stepped into the pond, the water up to her waist.

The pond was not very deep. During the day Princess Mingzhu had the guards look into the pond and learned that the water would only reach the chest of the man.

Princess Mingzhu bent down, gently unbuttoned her clothes, and took off her cloak, leaving only her tube top. Her skin, as clear as jade, shone seductively in the moonlight.

Men were supposed to be thrilled to see the curves of her body, not to mention to see a beauty under the moon in a pond.

Then footsteps came.

Yun Shimo walked out of his room. He knew someone had knocked at his door, but he didn't catch who it was. He thought it was Hua Qiyue, but as soon as he came out, he saw the woman in the pond wearing a tube top, splashing water on her body under the bright moonlight.

Water wetted the woman's hair, and made it cling softly to her back, but set off the skin like jade and white.

Such a woman, like an imperial concubine out of the bath, was full of temptation.

However, Yun Shimo just gave her a faint look and decided to leave. Unfortunately, when he turned around, he saw Hua Qiyue come out of the temple and was staring at the woman in the pond.

Yun Shimo paused a little and thought, "Will she get jealous?"

Hua Qiyue, however, raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "It's Princess Mingzhu. I thought it was a monster. Tut tut, an excellent shape! Jade-like skin and the curves of the body. Fortunately, the bosom is a little bit small!"

Upon hearing Hua Qiyue's comments about Princess Mingzhu, Yun Shimo couldn't laugh or cry. He thought she would blow up, but she was so calm.

Hua Qiyue glanced at Yun Shimo and said, "Oh, gee, it's such a beautiful view. If you don't take a few more looks, you'll regret it."

"No matter how beautiful the view is, it's not as good as yours," replied Yun Shimo with a smile.

Hua Qiyue gave a cold snort, but did not speak. Princess Mingzhu faintly heard the voices in the pond. When she looked back, she was surprised to see Hua Qiyue standing there.

Seeing Yun Shimo's back to her and treating her like nothing, she couldn't help feeling ashamed and indignant.

She managed to think of this clever plan, but it didn't work! "Hua Qiyue! It's you again. If you hadn't come out, how could Yun Shimo not look at me?" She complained in her heart bitterly.

At this time, Princess Mingzhu was full of resentment towards Hua Qiyue. Her beautiful eyes were sharp like knives that tried to crush Hua Qiyue.

"Well, I wondered who it was. Hua Qiyue, I didn't expect you to do such an immoral thing. Hanging out with Prince Nan at midnight. Shame on you!" A cold voice came out. It was Princess Huiling.

After she came here and was enlightened by Abbess Yi Zhen, she became much calmer. Yet, her resentment towards Hua Qiyue did not diminish at all.

The resentment was only temporarily suppressed.

She also heard Princess Mingzhu's knock on the door. The two maidservants behind Princess Huiling opened their mouths and looked in shock at Princess Mingzhu not far away.

"Look, Your Highness…"

One of the maidservants cried.

Princess Huiling followed her gaze and was surprised to see Princess Mingzhu bathing in the pond. "Princess Huiling, make sure it's not me trying to hook up with Prince Nan. It's your good sister Princess Mingzhu," Hua Qiyue uttered coldly. "Well, birds of a feather flock together. The ancients were right!"

Princess Huiling's face changed and she snapped, "Hua Qiyue! You're courting death!"

"Kill me if you can." Hua Qiyue cast the woman an icy look without fear.

"Your Highness… Don't be so loud. Princess Mingzhu's reputation will be completely destroyed if the sound draws those guards," whispered one maidservant.

Princess Huiling paused and glanced at Princess Mingzhu, who was a little alarmed and trying to walk ashore. Anyway, Princess Mingzhu was one of her friends.

Now that she was out of power in the imperial palace, if she offended Princess Mingzhu, her life would be…

"Princess Mingzhu had had the most traditional education, and I didn't expect you to do such a thing. Tut tut…"

A cold voice sounded. It turned out that Huangfu Xuan had been disturbed too.

Naturally, Princess Mingzhu in the pond knew that her "brilliant plan" had failed completely and destroyed herself terribly.

Princess Mingzhu swiftly put on her clothes, but a sudden chill came from the earth beneath her feet. Then a crack appeared quickly and swallowed her jade-like feet.

"Ah!" Princess Mingzhu screamed and struggled frantically.

In desperation, she began to launch the spiritual energy to break away from this unknown bondage!

But beneath the mud a powerful force sucked her down!

"Help…" Cried Princess Mingzhu.

Yun Shimo and the others were surprised. They didn't expect such a sudden accident. A moment before, they all thought Princess Mingzhu could protect herself even if the earth loosened up or she encountered snakes because she mastered the Qi Art.

No one had expected Princess Mingzhu to be completely immersed in the pond in the blink of an eye. The surface of the pond stirred violently into a whirlpool!

Hua Qiyue darted over, Yun Shimo and the others close behind her.

"It's weird!" The hare jumped into the pond first. He felt a powerful breath, so he jumped in to see what was going on.

Hua Qiyue thought of the mystery man, who had lost his trail here. She reckoned that he must have something to do with the mystery at the bottom of the pond!

With that, Hua Qiyue jumped into the pond with a splash and followed the hare toward the whirlpool.

Splash! Splash! Worried about Hua Qiyue, Yun Shimo and Huangfu Xuan chased her to the spot where Princess Mingzhu disappeared.

The whirlpool still rotated wildly, and the water in the pond waved violently. As soon as Hua Qiyue and the others reached the spot, they missed their steps and fell. There was a great force at the bottom of the pond that sucked them down like mad…

Soon, Hua Qiyue, Yun Shimo, and Huangfu Xuan disappeared at the same time.

Princess Huiling, some maidservants, the guards and the nuns who ran out when they heard the screams were all shocked to see this scene in a trance for a long time.

"Oh, my God… What's going on here?" Abbess Yi Zhen cried. "How could such a strange thing happen? Miss Hua… They are…"

Princess Huiling's face brightened a little, and suddenly she laughed grimly. "Hahaha… That's great! Great! Hua Qiyue had better die at the bottom of the pond. I'd love to see that! Hahaha…"

Princess Huiling laughed herself hoarse. She always wanted to kill Hua Qiyue, but never had the ability.

Now it was heaven helping her. How could she not be happy if Hua Qiyue and Yun Shimo were swallowed up by the monster at the bottom of the pond?

Then came Bingyi surprised. He had gone to the toilet, only to hear a scream in the toilet. When he rushed out, Yun Shimo and the others were gone.

"Hahaha… Prince Nan was swallowed by the water. He's dying, hahaha…" Princess Huiling's face was twisted and ugly with laughter. Several guards exchanged glances, all felt somewhat loathing.

"Amitabha! Very good indeed! Don't gloat like this. Life and death are determined by heaven…"

Abbess Yi Zhen came out of the shock, her voice as quiet as before.

After listening to the two maidservants, Bingyi immediately jumped into the pond and disappeared into the huge whirlpool.

"Humph! There are a lot of people looking for death." Princess Huiling ignored Abbess Yi Zhen's words.

"Abbess, what should we do?"

The nuns were all dumbfounded. How could they also jump into the pond when they were all ordinary people?

Abbess Yi Zhen had no expression on her face, and only looked at the agitated pond calmly. "We can only stay here and wait. Whether they live or die, we are resigned to our fate," she replied in a slightly sad tone.

After all, there were several people sucked by the pond. In Abbess Yi Zhen's eyes, no ordinary person could survive this bizarre situation, so they must be dead.

The nuns gave Princess Huiling, who was still guffawing, a cold look and followed Abbess Yi Zhen to the temple.

The guards couldn't understand that why Abbess Yi Zhen lived here for so many years without any accident if she was really an ordinary person.

"Your Highness… what… what's that?" A maidservant cried in a broken voice all of a sudden.

Princess Huiling looked in the direction the maidservant was pointing, and saw a mass of black clouds quickly gathering over the pond. Finally, those black clouds formed a huge beast, with six feet and eight claws, covered with black clouds, but its atomized eyes glistened with startling blood!

"Ow…" The beast gave a fierce roar and jumped at Princess Huiling in an instant!
