Chapter 448

"Now, even if I encounter a ten-thousand-man army, I could easily pierce through it, right?"

"Sinful, sinful—how could I, Duan Yu, entertain such thoughts?"

Suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his heart, Duan Yu steadied his emotions and rose to walk toward the city.

On the other side.

A Zhu brought Bi Bi back to the city.

Bi Bi asked, "Sister A Zhu, where are you planning to go?"

"I'm heading to Star Star Sea—my little sister's still there!" A Zhu sounded sorrowful. "I wonder how much suffering she's endured these years—has her spiteful nature changed at all?"

"Little sister? Sister A Zhu, you found your family?" Bi Bi gasped. "Then let me go with you—Yan Zi Wu has people to manage it; a short absence won't hurt."

"If you want to go, then let's go together," A Zhu smiled. "Let's go."

"Sister A Zhu, you forgot someone," Bi Bi suddenly added.

A Zhu blinked. "Who?"

"Of course, the Young Lady," Bi Bi laughed. "The Young Lady's been locked up at home for so long—she must be stifled. Why not take her out for a walk?"

"Bi Bi, you've got guts, daring to provoke Lady Aunt?" A Zhu chuckled. "Watch out—she'll peel your skin off and turn you into flower fertilizer."

"With Sister A Zhu beside me, I'm not afraid!" Bi Bi cooed.

"Fine, fine," A Zhu laughed. "Then let's take Young Lady Wang along—it's my way of showing my sisterly affection."

In terms of kinship, Wang Yuyan was A Zhu's half-sister by the same father, while Duan Yu was even more distantly related.

Now that A Zhu had gained power, she naturally wouldn't forget her old friend.

Bi Bi gasped. "Wow, Sister A Zhu—you're going to be the Young Lady's big sister?"

"Why not?" A Zhu smiled. "I am indeed older than Yuyan."

"Yes, yes, yes," Bi Bi nodded. "Let's go back—this time, we'll ride the jade dragon to Man Tuo Shanzhuang and scare the old maids half to death—see if they dare act so haughty again."

"Oh? Bi Bi's gotten bold," A Zhu chuckled, not refusing. She summoned true qi, lightly landing on the lake's surface, then reshaped the water into a dragon shape and headed toward Man Tuo Shanzhuang.

This time, A Zhu had no leisurely intentions—the water dragon moved swiftly.

In just one minute, the water dragon reached Man Tuo Shanzhuang.

The water dragon reared its head above the lake, its single head towering a hundred meters high—like a monster.

Its sudden appearance threw Man Tuo Shanzhuang into chaos.

"Could it be that Lady has committed too many sins, angering Long Wang?"

Some elderly maids, pale with fear, silently prayed to the deities they had once worshipped...

"Is Lady Aunt inside?"

At that moment, a clear voice rang out from atop the dragon's head. Everyone turned in surprise—only then did they see two young maidens perched on the dragon's crown.

The dragon's head lowered to twenty meters high, allowing everyone to clearly see the two girls' appearances.

"It's A Zhu and Bi Bi!"

"When did they gain such power?"

As the servants pondered, the jingling of jade pendants announced the arrival of a stunningly beautiful, voluptuous woman surrounded by many maids.

As she drew near, Lady Wang was stunned by the sight before her.

"A Zhu, Bi Bi, you two..."

A Zhu smiled. "Lady Aunt, no need to ask—please bring Young Lady out. Myself and Bi Bi are going on a journey and need a companion."

"You..."

Lady Wang froze—she never expected the once-obedient girl to show her such disrespect today.

Her gaze fell on the towering dragon's head—she trembled, yet could not utter a single word of propriety.

"Someone, fetch Yuyan."

"Yes."

Moments later, a lovely girl in lotus-colored robes, her black hair tied with a silk ribbon, arrived at the lakeside.

More beautiful than Lady Wang, her demeanor elegant—but slightly less full-figured, lacking the weight of years.

"Oh! It's A Zhu and Bi Bi!"

"I heard the commotion and thought bandits had come—I was terrified!"

Wang Yuyan's eyes sparkled with curiosity. She stepped forward and pressed her finger against the dragon's head, full of wonder.

"Young Lady, would you like to travel with me?" A Zhu smiled. "Today's a rare chance—after this, leaving will be hard."

At once, a flicker of delight passed through Wang Yuyan's eyes.

She glanced toward Lady Wang, then hesitated, fearful.

"Young Lady, don't mind Lady Aunt—I'm here to kidnap you today."

A Zhu's voice was crisp and pleasant, but her actions were as brazen as a thug—before Wang Yuyan could answer, she seized her and pulled her onto the dragon's head.

The next instant, the water dragon soared into the sky and vanished into the void.

"This..." Lady Wang stood frozen, speechless.

Suddenly, a familiar voice whispered in her ear: "Lady Aunt, don't worry about Young Lady's safety—just say one name, and you'll understand: Duan Zhengchun."

"Zhengchun!" A look of nostalgia crossed Lady Wang's face—then her teeth clenched. "Duan Zhengchun, it's your lustful debts again! I never imagined—right under my nose, you had a daughter. How many women have you fathered children with?"
