Chapter 2230: Ugly but not smart

Ye Bufan lowered his head, feigning a submissive expression, but inwardly, he was overjoyed.

When it came to seeking death, this Laiyang Princess was definitely number one.

To tell an eunuch that he was incomplete and a castrate to his Face was absolutely the greatest insult.

If it were an ordinary person, it would be one thing, but what was the other party's identity?

Although he was also an eunuch, he served the imperial old monster, so how could he be provoked by just anyone?

Originally, he could have guessed that Mei Gonggong, though not afraid of the Laiyang King, would still show some Face, which was clearly not the result he wanted.

It was precisely because of this that he rushed out to fan the flames, but he didn't expect this foolish woman to be so cooperative, offending Mei Gonggong to death with just a few words, leaving no room for reconciliation.

Actually, it was no wonder; this old eunuch was extremely arrogant, thinking that with his cultivation and status, he didn't need to bring any attendants, so he came out of the palace alone.

And he had been hiding with Dugu Xiu for too long; looking at the entire Imperial City, apart from some elderly people, there were hardly any who recognized him.

For example, none of the people from the Laiyang Royal Mansion, from Dugu Hong and Lu Bingkun to the guards below, recognized him.

Since no one recognized him, an old eunuch without identity or status naturally wouldn't be taken seriously by them.

But this angered Mei Gonggong; his Face was ashen, extremely ugly.

"Little girl, do you know what you're saying? Even if your father Dugu Zhan stood here, he wouldn't dare speak to this old slave like that!"

"Bah! What a useless old eunuch, you still know you're a slave, yet you dare to mention my father's name in front of this Princess? You're truly courting death!"

Dugu Hong waved her hand behind her, "Come, men, slap this Old thing's mouth until it's烂!"

Seeing this ugly woman being so foolish, Ye Bufan was already overjoyed.

He frantically ran to Mei Gonggong's side: "Mei Gonggong, why don't we run quickly? We can't afford to offend the people of the Royal Mansion."

"No need, leave it to me!"

Mei Gonggong exuded a powerful Killing Intent. After so many years of not being out, people outside no longer took him seriously.

"Then Mei Gonggong, please be gentle. They are from the Laiyang Royal Mansion. If anything happens, we really can't bear the responsibility."

After adding one last spark, Ye Bufan ran into the medical hall with his hands covering his head, but his Face was already beaming with joy.

He had done everything he needed to do; the people of the Laiyang Royal Mansion should just wait to bear the wrath.

As soon as he left, the hundred Royal Mansion guards brought by Dugu Hong had already rushed up and surrounded Mei Gonggong.

Since these people had already received their master's command, they had no scruples and all wanted to be the first to rush forward to perform well in front of the Princess.

"All of you, scram!"

The enraged Mei Gonggong instantly erupted, and a powerful Aura swept outwards like a mountain roaring and a sea raging.

Feeling such immense power, those guards were instantly stunned, flying out in all directions like scarecrows, utterly incapable of resisting.

Dugu Hong stood by, originally flailing her arms, but at this sight, she was instantly dumbfounded.

Where did this old eunuch come from? How could he be so powerful? Was there such a highly cultivated eunuch in the Great Shun Empire?

Lu Bingkun originally stood by with an arrogant expression, feeling that the King sending him was a bit of an overkill, that he wouldn't even need to make a move.

But at this moment, feeling Mei Gonggong's Aura, his expression instantly changed drastically.

"Your Highness, retreat quickly!"

He reached out and pulled Dugu Hong behind him.

"This Old thing really has some skill, Old Lu, quickly cripple him!"

Seeing the guards he brought instantly incapacitated, a surge of anger rose in Dugu Hong's heart again.

Most importantly, she was not a Cultivator and didn't know how powerful the other party was.

As the saying goes, ignorance is bliss. In her opinion, even if this old eunuch had some cultivation, he couldn't possibly be better than Lu Bingkun.

It was precisely because of this that she felt no fear, remaining fearless.

Lu Bingkun frowned. From that one move, he could tell that the other party's cultivation was not below his own.

"Your Highness, why don't we retreat for today and report back to the King first?"

At this moment, he already felt that something was wrong. If the other party was just a master, it would be fine, but the key was that he was also an eunuch.

In the Great Shun Empire, an eunuch with such high cultivation, his identity was probably not simple.

And Dugu Hong was someone without a brain; she couldn't think of these things. All she cared about was her own Face.

"No, I must cripple this eunuch who has no balls today. If I'm bullied by him, where will my Laiyang Princess's Face go in the future?"

Lu Bingkun really wanted to slap this ugly woman to death. It was bad enough she was ugly, but she also had no brain.

At this point, she was still provoking the other party. Had her head really been kicked by a donkey?

Sure enough, after she finished speaking, Mei Gonggong's expression grew even more gloomy, and he walked towards them step by step.

"This Gonggong, we are from the Laiyang Royal Mansion. How about we end today's matter here?"

Lu Bingkun was not a reckless person. Unless absolutely necessary, he really didn't want to fight the other party.

"Hand over this ugly woman to me, and you can scram!"

Mei Gonggong had always been high and mighty, and he hadn't been insulted for so many years. Now, the anger in his heart had been completely ignited, so how could he let it go easily?

"That's absolutely impossible!"

Although Lu Bingkun was somewhat apprehensive of the other party, he could not hand over the Princess no matter what, otherwise, he would have no way to explain himself back at the Laiyang Royal Mansion.

"You ungrateful Old thing, do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

Seeing that there was no room for reconciliation, he roared and reached out to grab Mei Gonggong.

As a Void Tempering Initial Stage expert, he was also an extremely arrogant person, thinking that the other party would retreat upon seeing his cultivation, leaving at least some room for discussion.

"Overestimating yourself!"

Mei Gonggong was full of anger at this moment, so how could he hold back even a little? He directly slapped out.

Feeling the other party's power firsthand, Lu Bingkun's expression instantly changed drastically.

"It's actually Void Tempering Middle Stage!"

He had originally thought the other party was at most Void Tempering Initial Stage, but he didn't expect him to be one big Rank higher.

At this moment, he had already cursed Dugu Hong's ancestors eighteen generations over in his heart. This foolish woman had actually provoked such a powerful opponent.

But it was too late to regret now. Facing the incoming palm, he could only meet it with a full-force punch.

It was just a pity that the cultivation gap was too great; no matter how hard he fought, he couldn't bridge it.

With a bang, Lu Bingkun was directly sent flying like a fly by a single slap, spitting out several mouthfuls of fresh blood in mid-air.

Although this strike didn't kill him, he was definitely severely injured and no longer had the strength to fight.

Having dealt with Lu Bingkun, Mei Gonggong looked at the Laiyang Princess with a sinister gaze.

"This…"

Only at this moment did Dugu Hong realize what kind of existence she had provoked. This old eunuch was too powerful, even ten times more formidable than Lu Bingkun.

She couldn't understand what method this Young man had used to find such a powerful helper.

"Don't come over! My father is the Laiyang King! If you touch a single finger of mine, he won't let you off…"

Dugu Hong nervously backed away as she spoke, but before she could take a few steps, she felt a tightening around her neck and was already caught in Mei Gonggong's hand.
