The Hehuan Sect cultivates alchemy; my senior sister helps me refine alchemy throughout the world.

Princess Ao Ying is currently checking the goods inventory of Dragon Market in another residence in Binhai City.

Upon hearing from the servant that Ao Ting was critically ill, she frowned, put down the account book in her hand, and asked, "What happened? He was perfectly fine just a couple of days ago?"

"The Crown Prince... I don't know what's wrong with him. He's been screaming every night, and today he couldn't get out of bed. He's completely exhausted." The servant lowered his head, his voice growing softer and softer.

"Hmph, this shameless fellow, has he been ruining some girl again?" Ao Ying sneered.

"Your Highness, ever since you reprimanded the Crown Prince last time, he has been behaving himself and obeying your orders, and has not done anything out of line," the servant replied cautiously, afraid of uttering a single wrong word.

After the servant finished speaking, Ao Ying frowned slightly.

"He didn't harm any girls? Then what's he doing every night?"

The servant stammered, "This subordinate...this subordinate doesn't know. The Crown Prince has been in his room these past few nights, and I haven't seen him bring anyone in, but...but the commotion..."

Ao Ying snorted coldly, "Take me to see what kind of evil spirit is causing this trouble."

When Ao Ying arrived at Ao Ting's place, she heard a weak groan coming from inside before she even entered.

Pushing open the door, I saw Ao Ting lying on the bed, looking extremely thin, with sunken eyes, a sallow complexion, and even his once captivating eyes had become dull and lifeless.

Although Ao Ying usually didn't treat her younger brother well, he was still her biological brother from the same mother, and she felt a pang of heartache seeing him like this.

"What happened?" She sat down on the edge of the bed and reached out to feel Ao Ting's forehead. "How did you get into this state?"

Ao Ting opened his eyes weakly, "Second sister... I... I think I've been poisoned..."

"Poisoning? What kind of poison?"

"I don't know either..." Ao Ting gasped for breath, "Every night when I close my eyes, I start having those kinds of dreams, one after another, I just can't stop. When I wake up, I feel completely exhausted, like I've been drained dry."

Ao Ying could tell what had happened just by looking at him; he must have offended someone he shouldn't have.

That person was just teaching him a lesson; they didn't kill him. If they really wanted to kill Ao Ting, they wouldn't have done it this way.

"Who have you offended these past few days?" Ao Ying asked.

"No..." Ao Ting thought for a moment, "I've been very well-behaved these past few days. But a few days ago, I saw two pretty young women on the street and wanted to snatch them away for my own amusement, but you caught me..."

"Anything else?"

"No, you can ask them if you don't believe me," Ao Ting pointed to his entourage around him, "These past few days I've been going to Long City every time I go out..."

The surrounding attendants nodded vigorously; Ao Ting had been paying close attention to Long City these past few days. It was said that the old Dragon King was considering passing the throne to him and was currently testing him.

Ao Ying could tell from his expression that he wasn't lying, and now she could guess who had done it.

That's the man with the two young women.

When she arrived that day, she heard about the outrageous things her younger brother had done and also saw the young woman behind that man.

Neither of those women were simple characters, especially the one who looked incredibly alluring, exuding a subtle, bewitching aura; she was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

"Alright, don't worry, I have a plan." Ao Ying stood up. "You rest first, I'll go find someone."

In fact, from the first time she saw Shen Yifei, she recognized him as the young man who had spent twenty million spirit stones at Zuixianlou.

When she bid for the Changtian Sword, she didn't have any particular purpose; she was simply drawn by Shen Changtian's reputation and wanted to collect it.

Later, after Shen Yifei came out of Zuixianlou, she followed him all the way and saw the scene of the Myriad Things Cauldron refining the people of Wanjian Villa. She developed a different feeling for Shen Yifei.

The dragon race has always admired strength and did not find Shen Yifei's methods particularly special.

When Ao Ying went to the inn to find Shen Yifei, he was drinking tea and enjoying the scenery with Liu Mengli by the window.

Liu Mengli saw Ao Ying's figure in the distance and chuckled, "Master, the fish has taken the bait."

A moment later, there was a knock on the door.

"Knock knock knock".

The knock was neither too light nor too heavy, neither too fast nor too slow; one could tell from the sound of the knocking that she possessed the air of a dragon princess.

Shen Yifei put down his teacup, straightened his collar, and then slowly got up to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Ao Ying stood in the doorway, her cat-eye eyes slightly narrowed, offering a greeting with a smile.

"Sect Leader Shen, I am Ao Ying, the Second Princess of the Dragon Clan. We meet again."

Shen Yifei smiled broadly, "Second Princess, please come in, please come in. We were really fortunate that you spoke up for us that day and helped us out of that predicament. Mengli, pour some tea."

Liu Mengli originally wanted to hide, but Shen Yifei wouldn't let her. Today, he was going to blatantly lie through her teeth.

He stepped aside to make way for me and gestured for me to pass.

Ao Ying didn't stand on ceremony and stepped into the room. She looked around the somewhat simple room and frowned slightly.

The dignified sect leader of the Tianyan Sect, who spends a whopping 20 million, lives in a place like this.

"Sect Leader Shen, let's not beat around the bush." ​​Ao Ying turned to face him and cut to the chase, "I'm asking you, did you do what happened to my brother?"

"Your brother?" Shen Yifei looked innocent. "Second Princess, what makes you say that? I've only met your brother once, and he was the one who flirted with me first, but I didn't even hold it against him."

Ao Ying stared into his eyes, "I have those kinds of dreams every night, and I toss and turn until dawn every night. Now I'm so thin and emaciated that I can't even get out of bed."

After speaking, she glanced at Liu Mengli beside Shen Yifei. Liu Mengli, unfazed, gave her a playful smile and asked, "I wonder what the Crown Prince is up to?"

Looking at Liu Mengli's appearance, Ao Ying became even more certain that it must have been this woman who did it.

But since I have no evidence, I can't say anything.

She ignored Liu Mengli, "Sect Leader Shen, we are both sensible people. Let's not beat around the bush. My brother may be a bit of a troublemaker, but he doesn't deserve to die. Giving him a lesson is enough; there's no need to torture him to death."

Shen Yifei chuckled and said, "Second Princess, you're wronging me. I've only met your brother once, and I have no idea what he does every night. What does it have to do with me? However, I do know a little about medicine. Perhaps I can take a look at His Highness the Crown Prince and figure out what's going on?"

Ao Ying understood perfectly what he meant; he was trying to negotiate with her.

She snorted coldly, "Sect Leader Shen, I won't beat around the bush. Just state your conditions."

Shen Yifei said in a serious tone, "A doctor's heart is like a parent's. Although His Highness the Crown Prince has offended my people, I, Shen Yifei, have always repaid evil with kindness. How could I stand by and watch someone die? As for the conditions you mentioned..."

"Speak freely, our Dragon Palace still possesses considerable strength!"

"Haha, Second Princess, you're being too polite. Originally, there were no conditions, but since we've come this far, I'll make one request..."
