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

When Ao Ying heard Shen Yifei say this, she thought to herself, "Just as I thought."

He sets up a trap, then breaks it, and incidentally extorts money from the victim.

But this is good, at least the prices are clearly marked.

"Sect Master Shen, just name your name. Whatever spirit stones or treasures you need, the Dragon Palace will make sure you're satisfied!"

Shen Yifei shook his head. "Treasures are just external things, Second Princess. Actually, my condition is very simple. I will cure His Highness the Crown Prince's illness, and all you need to do is remove your veil so that I can see your true face."

"What? What did you say?" Shen Yifei's condition surprised Ao Ying greatly.

Liu Mengli was also quite puzzled, as the original plan was to obtain a dragon scale.

"I just want to catch a glimpse of the Second Princess's beautiful face."

"Sect Leader Shen, are you really going to make this request?"

According to the rules of the dragon race, after a dragon transforms into human form, a woman must cover her face with a veil, and her appearance can only be seen by her future husband. She can only remove the veil after marriage.

Shen Yifei had no idea about this rule.

He felt that a woman wearing a veil was either extremely beautiful or extremely ugly. If she was extremely beautiful, then he could use his good looks to seduce her; if she was extremely ugly... then he would have to think of another way.

Shen Yifei simply wanted to see what the dragon girl looked like, so he looked serious and expectant.

Looking into his eyes, Ao Ying asked, "Sect Leader Shen, are you sure you want me to remove my veil?"

"I'm sure." Shen Yifei said sincerely, "I don't have any other hobbies, I just like looking at beautiful women. When I saw the Second Princess from afar at Zuixianlou that day, I felt that she had an extraordinary temperament. Now that I see her, I'm even more eager to see what kind of peerless beauty is hidden under her veil."

Seeing his shameless demeanor, and recalling how he was when he refined the Myriad Swords Manor that day, Ao Ying realized he was a completely different person.

"Could this guy be different from what I imagined? Is he just a lecherous scoundrel?"

Seeing her expression, Shen Yifei thought he had said something wrong, so he quickly said, "If the Second Princess is unwilling, then forget it, pretend I didn't mention it. I'll go see His Highness the Crown Prince right away, and I guarantee the medicine will cure him."

"No need," Ao Ying interrupted him. "I agree to your conditions. But I also have one condition."

Upon hearing that Ao Ying had agreed to the conditions, Shen Yifei's face lit up with joy. "What are the Second Princess's conditions?"

"If you can't cure my brother, I want her head." Ao Ying pointed at Liu Mengli.

Shen Yifei's smile immediately froze; he hadn't expected her to be able to see through Liu Mengli's scheme.

Liu Mengli didn't seem to care, shrugging her shoulders. "Second Princess, you have good taste. My head is indeed valuable. But don't worry, my master can cure any disease."

"That's good." Ao Ying turned around. "Sect Leader Shen, after curing my brother's illness, I will personally bring him to your door to express my gratitude. You will have to remove my veil yourself!"

Shen Yifei followed behind Ao Ying, saying "okay, okay" aloud, but cursing inwardly, "This dragon girl looks gentle, but she's ruthless enough to ask for someone's head right off the bat."

Liu Mengli hid inside the cauldron. "Master, you're in a bind. If you can't cure this, my head might be gone."

"Can't be cured? You've caused this mess, how could I not be able to cure it?"

"Hehe, that's true, just give him a big tonic pill."

"Hmm, let's go take a look. We need to make sure it looks good."

"Brother, you need treatment, I'll help you!"

"Xinghe, your brother Yifei can cure this illness, so don't worry about the child."

As the three talked, Shen Yifei kept staring at Ao Ying's buttocks. And you know what? Xinghe's observation was quite sharp; Ao Ying had a slim waist and a large bottom—perfect for raising a son.

However, this body type has another characteristic: a strong sex drive. Along the way, Shen Yifei had already thought of Ao Ying in bed.

Before they knew it, the two had arrived at Ao Ting's residence.

Pushing open the door, Shen Yifei saw Ao Ting lying on the bed, looking extremely thin, with sunken eyes and pale lips. Liu Mengli had really gone too far.

"Your Highness, I've come to examine you." Shen Yifei sat down by the bed and pretended to check Ao Ting's pulse.

Ao Ting opened his eyes weakly, saw Shen Yifei, was stunned at first, then his eyes widened suddenly, "You...you're not that..."

Ao Ying whispered, "What do you mean, 'you'? This is Sect Master Shen of the Tianyan Sect. He's putting aside past grievances and coming to treat your illness."

Ao Ting was a sensible man. Why would his second sister choose someone he had offended to treat her illness?

This can only mean one thing: the main reason for my strange illness is this guy's doing!

He could only swallow his anger now, "Please, Sect Leader Shen, lend me your assistance."

Shen Yifei nodded. "Your Highness, your illness is quite serious. You have excessive internal heat and an imbalance of yin and yang. If you don't get treatment soon, I'm afraid..." He shook his head and sighed.

"What are you afraid of?" Ao Ting was so frightened that his face turned pale.

"I'm afraid I'll never be able to get close to women again."

Upon hearing this, Ao Ting was stunned, as if struck by lightning. He grabbed Shen Yifei's hand, pleading, "You...you have to save me! I haven't even had a chance to get married yet!"

"Don't worry, I'm here, you won't die." Shen Yifei patted his hand, then took out a dark pill from his storage ring and held it to Ao Ting's lips. "Here, eat it."

Ao Ting glanced at the pill; it was dark and smelled strange. He hesitated, "What is this?"

"A top-grade tonic, specially formulated to replenish your kind of deficiency." Shen Yifei said with a serious face, "Take one, and I guarantee you'll be able to get out of bed and walk tomorrow. Two days later, you'll be full of energy."

Ao Ting hesitated, then turned to look at Ao Ying.

Ao Ying nodded. "Eat. If he wanted to harm you, he wouldn't need to go through all this trouble."

Ao Ting opened his mouth, and Shen Yifei stuffed the pill into it.

Ao Ting immediately felt a warm sensation throughout his body, and his energy returned instantly.

"Hey? It seems to be working!" Ao Ting's eyes lit up. He sat up in bed, stretched his arms, and said, "I feel much better!"

"Of course." Shen Yifei stood up. "With my personal intervention, how could I not cure it? Your Highness, please rest well. You'll be able to get out of bed tomorrow."

Ao Ying stood aside, coldly watching Shen Yifei's actions, secretly sneering to herself.

Keep pretending.

He was the one who did it, but now he's pretending to be a good guy, acting like it's a real thing.

Do you think the Dragon Palace lacks your tonics? Sending you here to treat the illness is just a way for both sides to save face and let the matter end here.

As for whether or not to let him unveil his face, he can just make up an excuse and say that his father wants him to return to the Dragon Palace.

Ao Ying looked at him and said, "Sect Leader Shen, thank you for your hard work. I will personally bring my younger brother to thank you tomorrow."

Shen Yifei smiled triumphantly, "Then I'll go back to the inn and wait for the princess."

Just as Shen Yifei was about to leave, Xinghe's voice was tinged with anxiety, "Brother, brother! Wait a minute!"

Shen Yifei paused, "What's wrong, Xinghe? What happened?"

"Brother, something's wrong with the Crown Prince. It seems like he's been poisoned!"
