Chapter 435 You're fake, right?
Not long after.
The tent flap was lifted again.
With the help of his trusted aides, Maodun walked unsteadily into the camp.
The wound on his lower body was still throbbing, causing his movements to become somewhat stiff.
The trusted aide turned around and lit several oil lamps inside the tent.
The dim light came on, illuminating the scene inside the tent.
Maodun stood there, looked down, and his face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
The immortal master Ji Dan was lying naked on the ground with her buttocks sticking up high, in an extremely ungraceful posture.
Beside the bed stood two burly and incredibly ugly Xiongnu women.
He was looking down at that moment, as if he had done something wrong.
"I told you to 'invite' them to stay, and this is what you did?" Maodun suppressed his anger and shouted in a low voice.
The two female assassins immediately knelt down, one of them pleading in a soft voice, "Your Highness, please forgive me! I had just finished lying in wait in the tent and hadn't even had a chance to report when this person came in and, without saying a word, took off all his clothes and pounced on me!"
In a moment of panic, fearing he would scream, I... I just knocked him unconscious!
Upon hearing this explanation, Maodun's forehead veins throbbed.
He snorted coldly and waved his hand. "What are you all standing there for! Quickly pick him up and put his clothes on!"
"yes!"
Two burly female assassins immediately stepped forward.
They grabbed Ji Dan by one arm each, lifting him up like a chick, and roughly shoved several pieces of clothing onto his body.
"You two, go and guard the entrance to the camp. Keep a close watch and do not allow anyone to approach or enter!" Maodun ordered.
The two female assassins accepted the order and strode out of the tent to stand guard outside.
A trusted aide brought over a chair, and Maodun slowly sat down, enduring the pain in his lower body, and coldly stared at Ji Dan, who was still unconscious.
A long time passed.
Ji Dan, who was lying on the Hu bed, finally stirred.
During his coma, he had a dream.
In his dream, he pointed his long sword to the sky and slaughtered his enemies on the green grasslands of the Xiongnu.
With a satisfied smile, he slowly opened his eyes.
(Please remember the website 202s.tw for the fastest chapter updates.)
However, there was no stunningly beautiful woman in the scene before me.
What came into view was the face of a man with a strange, cold smile, staring down at him intently.
Maodun's bloodshot eyes looked particularly eerie.
"A ghost!"
Ji Dan trembled with fright, his soul almost leaving his body. Any romantic thoughts he had were instantly extinguished by the shock, and he nearly became impotent on the spot.
He suddenly opened his mouth, about to shout for help.
Maodun reacted swiftly, reaching out to cover Ji Dan's mouth and nose tightly.
"Ugh!"
Ji Dan struggled desperately, but her scream still reached outside the tent.
Outside the camp.
Several royal guards patrolling nearby stopped and looked at each other in bewilderment.
They glanced at the tightly closed tents, then at the woman guarding the entrance, who was even more robust and powerful than a man, and some indescribable images surfaced in their minds.
"Did you hear that? The Immortal Master shouted so loudly just now..." A guard swallowed hard and muttered to himself.
"I knew something was off when those two burly women went in!"
Another guard looked at him with a hint of awe. "The people of the Central Plains not only know magic, but they're really good at this. That robust woman, how could the immortal master possibly handle her..."
The group whispered among themselves for a while, then quickly hurried away from this troublesome place, afraid of disturbing the immortal master's refined pleasure.
Inside the camp.
Under Maodun's suppression, Ji Dan struggled weaker and weaker, his face turning red from holding his breath.
"Stop shouting! I am Prince Maodun!"
Seeing Ji Dan's terrified expression, Maodun lowered his voice and quickly said in broken Central Plains dialect, "If I wanted to kill you, you would already be a corpse!"
Shut up and I'll let go!
Upon hearing the words "Prince Maodun," Ji Dan stopped struggling, his eyes widened, and he nodded repeatedly.
Maodun then slowly released his grip and sat back down in his chair.
Ji Dan gasped for breath, rubbing her aching neck, and straightened her disheveled clothes.
He looked at the Xiongnu prince before him, his heart filled with doubt and uncertainty.
Looking at his disheveled clothes and the slight pain in his buttocks, he was immediately shocked!
What exactly did Maodun do to himself?
Could it be...?
"So it's His Highness the Crown Prince..."
Ji Dan feigned composure, cleared her throat, and said, "Your Highness's visit so late at night, why resort to such a crude method? If you have something to ask this immortal master, you could simply send someone to inform him!"
Maodun, however, put on a respectful demeanor.
"Please calm your anger, Immortal Master."
Maodun bowed slightly, his tone sincere, "My father values the Immortal Master highly and has dispatched a large force to protect your camp. Although I am the Crown Prince, it is not easy for me to meet the Immortal Master in private!"
I resorted to this desperate measure to avoid being noticed; I hope the Immortal Master will forgive me!
Hearing this, Ji Dan's doubts were greatly relieved.
Thankfully, I'm still virgin!
Then, Maodun began to complain at length, recounting how, despite being the crown prince, he was constantly controlled by others in the royal court.
He then proceeded to praise Ji Dan.
"The Immortal Master is truly a genius. He not only brought methods to defeat the enemy, but also made contact with Xiang Yu in the Central Plains. Maodun is utterly impressed by such manipulative abilities!"
"I have come today to earnestly request that you, Immortal Master, provide me with as much guidance as possible in the future!"
Hearing Maodun's praise, Ji Dan's fear subsided considerably.
It turns out that the prince came to curry favor and win him over!
It seems my position among the Xiongnu is now unshakeable!
Ji Dan immediately became happy, straightened her back, and resumed her air of superiority.
"Your Highness is too kind. This immortal master is acting in accordance with the will of Heaven to help the Great Chanyu achieve his hegemony. Since you are the Crown Prince, you will naturally have a share in this great land in the future. As long as you humbly accept my teachings, this immortal master will naturally take care of you!" Ji Dan stroked his chin and said in a affected tone.
Maodun lowered his head and remained silent, but kept staring at Ji Dan's expression.
The atmosphere eased a little.
Just as Ji Dan was about to launch into a few more eloquent remarks, Maodun suddenly raised his head and stared intently at him.
"Actually... you're not a true immortal master at all!"
Maodun's voice suddenly turned cold, and he asked a question without warning, enunciating each word slowly and deliberately.
This sudden remark startled Ji Dan, and the haughty demeanor she had just put on instantly crumbled.
"Your Highness! What nonsense are you spouting! This immortal master understands the mysteries of heaven and earth, how could it be false! This is disrespectful to this immortal master!" Ji Dan retorted sharply.
Maodun looked at him and smiled contemptuously.
Looks like I guessed right!
Stop pretending!
Maodun leaned back in his chair, his tone mocking, "A true master remains unmoved even when Mount Tai collapses before him. But you, lustful and cowardly as a mouse, are easily swayed by a few flattering words!"
Where in you is there even a trace of the air of otherworldly wisdom?
Maodun stood up and slowly approached Ji Dan: "However, I do admire you quite a bit!"
You, a counterfeit, actually managed to deceive Xiang Yu of the Central Plains and even my self-proclaimed shrewd father, making them obey your every word!
Your skill in swindling and deceiving is truly impressive!
