“Find the medicinal herbs on this prescription as soon as possible, regardless of the cost!”

“Understood.” Qian Huang took the prescription from his master, then turned to leave, joy and excitement barely suppressed in his eyes. There was still hope for his master’s dantian!

“Wait a minute.”

“Do you have other instructions for me, Master?” Qian Huang asked with a respectful look.

Mu Rufeng slightly narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint flickering past his eyes. His voice, though calm and soft, was cold as ice, “Go and destroy Nalan Yu.”

“What do you have in mind when you say ‘destroy’, Master?” Upon hearing this, a sinister glow flashed by in Qian Huang’s eyes. He had found the Crown Prince an eyesore from a long time ago.

“Make him impotent.” Mu Rufeng curled his lips in a murderous, icy arc.

Qian Huang froze for a moment, then snapped back to his senses. With an intensely malevolent smile, he only replied, “Yes.”

So Master wanted to take revenge for Eldest Young Miss.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the night. Only until the deep of the night did Qian Huang stealthily return to Maple Garden like a ghost.

“Has it been done?” Mu Rufeng opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing across his narrow and long eyes.

“When I arrived, I found out that Nalan Yu has already been rendered impotent. That culprit was incredibly cruel—he smashed Nalan Yu’s pen*s with his foot directly. But His Majesty has already ordered to keep this matter under wraps. His Majesty is in a great rage right now. I presume he will send his men to investigate this matter in the shadows.”

Upon hearing this, Mu Rufeng’s brows gently furrowed. Did someone beat him to it? Who could it be?

…

Ever since that scandalous incident, Mu Yurou was called to go back by Mu Hong and given a lecture and was now made to repent in the ancestral hall.

Everywhere on the streets of Phoenix Shadow City, people were gossiping about the scandalous affair of Nalan Yu, Mu Yurou and Wang Dachui, the trio who spent a romantic night on the bed together.

In a bustling and crowded restaurant where all seats were occupied, everyone was talking loudly, making for a noisy and lively ambiance.

“Hey, did you hear? The Crown Prince and the Second Young Miss of the Mu family were engaged in you-know-what in the Defender Marquis Manor and were caught in the act by the servants! The most scandalous bit is that there was also a male corpse…” The person speaking wore a lewd expression.

“Wah wah wah! W-What kind of fetish is that?!”

“Hmph, I bet you guys didn’t know about it. It’s because the Crown Prince has a problem down there!” Another person snuck a glance at his surroundings, before saying in a mysterious manner.

“Ah!!” Everyone was shocked at the revelation. “How did you know the Crown Prince has a problem down there?”

“I guessed. But what sort of game were the Crown Prince and Mu Yurou playing? It’s so disgusting!”

“Yeah! They don’t even find it horrifying to have a male corpse on their bed…”

Where there were people, there was gossip.

In a suite on the second story, Nalan Yu was so infuriated that his face was completely green. He slammed his palms heavily on the table and jumped to his feet in a fury. “These unruly citizens are abominable! I’m going to kill them all! Execute all nine generations of their families!”

“I’ve only been gone for a few days and so much has happened to you. Tell me, what exactly happened?” Lin Xu frowned, looking displeased.

Raising his head, his gaze landed upon Nalan Yu’s abdomen, a look of suspicion surfacing in his eyes. “Don’t tell me you really have a problem down there?”

Nalan Yu’s countenance changed abruptly to a terrible one—one moment looking green, the other looking furious. Yesterday when he returned to the palace from the Defender Marquis Manor, he suddenly found to his horror that there was no response in his lower body!

Caught in a panic, Nalan Yu anxiously called for the imperial physician and was informed that he suffered from erectile dysfunction.

This struck Nalan Yu like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

Of course, the imperial physician also said that there was a possibility of him recovering from it given proper treatment. That made Nalan Yu feel like he sprung back to paradise from the depths of hell.

However, in the middle of the night, someone barged into the Crown Prince’s residence and crushed his pen*s under his foot without a word!

The culprit’s actions were swift and agile, crushing that part into bits with one stomp of the foot. Now, even if an immortal were to descend on Earth, there wasn’t a possibility of that part ever healing again. That made Nalan Yu feel like he had plunged back to hell from paradise!

He, the Crown Prince of a nation, rendered a eunuch!!

In his rage, everyone in the Crown Prince’s residence, plus that imperial physician who diagnosed his condition, were ordered to be executed. If word of his impotence got out, not only would he turn into the butt of jokes in Phoenix Shadow Nation, he would even lose his position as the Crown Prince.

However, Nalan Yu hadn’t expected the ordinary citizens of the country to stab him where it hurt by mere conjecture!

Hearing Lin Xu’s words, Nalan Yu felt flames of fury surge upwards and his blood was coursing with rage. Yet, he didn’t dare to act up, so he took a deep breath and said in an odd tone, “Master, I’m perfectly normal where that is concerned!”

“As the Crown Prince of Phoenix Shadow Nation, to have disregarded your image and gone against the rules of etiquette like this, if word spreads to the Purple Cloud Hall, it will be highly disadvantageous to you. If it is your wish to enter the Purple Cloud Hall and become an inner disciple, you will face great difficulty!” Lin Xu narrowed his eyes as he looked up at Nalan Yu, a look of contemplation in the depths of his eyes.

Nalan Yu’s countenance instantly changed drastically. “Master, someone deliberately framed me! This matter… you must help me! Someone intentionally set a trap to frame me and Rou’er…”

“Alright, I will help you regarding the Purple Cloud Hall,” Lin Xu interrupted his words. “As for the Second Young Miss of the Mu family, hmph, she lost her chastity before marriage. Such a woman leaves much to be desired.”

“Master! This has nothing to do with Rou’er, I was the one who wanted it, so she gave it to me.” Nalan Yu was green in the face, his expression a mix of embarrassment and fury.

Also, that man in black last night with the silver mask, his eyes were cold and bloodthirsty…

“Yu’er, your temperament is still not steady enough. This is a big taboo in your road to cultivation! You’re the disciple I looked upon most favorably. You mustn’t disappoint me!” Lin Xu said.

“Master, I know who it was who framed me! It was the Ghost King!” Nalan Yu howled.

“Ghost King?!” Lin Xu was so shocked that he leaped up from his seat, an uncertain expression on his face along with a hint of horror flickering in his eyes. “Are you sure?”

Nalan Yu nodded, fury churning in his eyes. It was the Ghost King who made him impotent! Aahhhhhh!!

Lin Xu creased his brows in doubt, unable to suppress the shock and fear in the depths of his eyes. “You have no enmity with the Ghost King. Why would he want to frame you? Did you offend him?!”

Nobody knew the identity of Ghost King, only that every time he appeared he donned a silver mask. Nobody knew his true capabilities, only that it was unfathomably deep and that he could take on an unfathomable number of opponents all by himself!

Rumor had it that the Ghost King was cold, bloodthirsty and heartless, and that he was an extremely cruel person who killed without batting an eyelid!

The whispers were that the Ghost King’s appearance was even more terrifying than King Yama, that he was a hideous old man! It was said that anyone who offended the Ghost King would face a fate more excruciating than death!

These were the reasons why everyone feared the Ghost King.

“I don’t know either. I have never seen the Ghost King, much less offended him!” Nalan Yu looked both aggrieved and furious.

“Be careful for now. Master will look for the Ghost King to plead on your behalf,” Lin Xu said with a sigh.
