Do you know: I should be fat and you should be thin!

January 14th!

Happy Lantern Festival!

Tokyo was ablaze with lights that night, the streets were filled with theatrical performances, and the whole city partened into a night of revelry.

Tokyo begins constructing a giant lantern-covered mountain starting from the winter solstice. Tens of thousands of lanterns adorn the mountain, along with an artificial waterfall and a giant straw dragon lantern display...

The old emperor ascended Xuande Tower and shared the joy with the people.

Zhou Ning was traveling with the two girls, but Yu Yanran ran away with her best friend after meeting Minglan along the way!

Seeing that Zhou Ning had no interest in cosmetics, Wei Zhi took a pear and some things and left with Xiao Ma and the other two.

Zhou Ning had no choice but to wander alone. He happened to pass by a platform where scholars had turned poems into riddles and hung them on lanterns for the people of the city to guess. Those who guessed correctly could receive gifts such as writing brushes and ink.

He guessed thirty lanterns in one go and took away a bag of writing brushes and ink!

Zhou Ning watched the sumo wrestling, football, and rope climbing, but lost interest quickly and decided to go see Da'ao Mountain.

The lantern sheds on Mount Ao were piled higher than the eaves, and strings of glass lanterns stretched for miles along the Imperial Street, drawing crowds of people to watch.

Seeing a carriage blocking the road ahead, Zhou Ning patiently followed.

A young woman, seemingly bored, stepped down from the carriage.

Suddenly, a crowd surged forward, and several burly men rushed forward, covering the girl's mouth and nose with handkerchiefs and dragging her away. In the blink of an eye, she was gone.

"Second Miss! Someone come here!"

"The second young lady has disappeared!"

"Lantern Festival kidnapping?"

Zhou Ning put down his pen and ink, used his lightness skill to leap out of the crowd by tapping someone's shoulder, and quickly gave chase.

After two turns, he saw the girl being stuffed into a carriage by the burly men, taken to a courtyard, and then the carriage drove away!

After Zhou Ning slipped behind the wall, he leaped onto the roof, crouched low on the eaves, gently picked up a tile, and looked down.

Six burly men were examining the unconscious girl on the ground.

"The princess instructed that we should make her disappear for one night and ruin her reputation."

"So beautiful, no wonder she's a noble lady! Her skin is so fair and delicate!"

"Yes, it's big and smells delicious. I just touched it!"

"They'll definitely search outside, so stay alert. If anyone comes, hide in the secret room!"

The burly men kept exchanging ideas!

"princess?"

Zhou Ning suddenly realized something: the kidnapping during the Lantern Festival—wasn't that related to Rong Feiyan and the Prince of Yong?

At this moment, another young woman, clutching a handkerchief, walked from outside the courtyard to the corridor. The pearl flower in her hair was quite large, and her noble temperament was hard to conceal!

Hearing the commotion, the six men came out to report: "Your Highness! The man has been arrested!"

Princess Jiacheng knew that her mother had only ordered that the man be locked up for one night to scare him before releasing him.

But the thought that everyone in the capital was saying that Rong Feiyan was going to marry into the Qi family made her lose all reason.

"After I leave, destroy her reputation, do it cleanly, and throw her into the busiest street corner at dawn tomorrow," Princess Jiacheng said coldly, her handkerchief crumpled from her grip.

The six men were overjoyed and went inside to obey the order. This was Consort Rong's sister, and they, as her guards, actually had the opportunity to be ordered to defile her!

Princess Jiacheng gazed at the moon beyond the eaves, a slightly obsessive smile playing on her lips.

Now, no one can compete with her for Qi Heng anymore.

"Ah! Who are you? My sister is Consort Rong! Waaah, let me go!"

"mean!"

Zhou Ning snorted coldly, tore off a piece of her clothes, and used it to cover her face!

The green figure flashed and landed in front of the Princess of Jiacheng, delivering four slaps with both hands.

How could the Princess of Jiacheng possibly dodge under the force of his palm strike? Four sharp slaps rang out, and her cheeks immediately became red and swollen.

Hearing the screams coming from inside the house, Zhou Ning no longer held back. He reached out with his left hand and grabbed her neck with his right, and with a forceful pull, she instantly turned purple and fainted.

He carried the unconscious Princess Jiacheng into the house. The six guards had just stripped Rong Feiyan naked and were anxiously removing their armor when they turned around and saw the princess being carried in. They were all startled!

"Who? Do you know who you're dealing with? The Prince of Yong will not let you get away with this!" the head guard roared.

"Help, help me!"

Rong Feiyan curled up, clamped her legs together, trying her best to cover her chest, and cried out.

Zhou Ning shouted, "How dare Prince Yong! He dares to touch my second young lady! Her Highness the Imperial Concubine has ordered that none of them be spared!"

"Save the county princess! Otherwise, none of us will survive!" a guard shouted.

Six shirtless, burly men rushed forward!

Zhou Ning shifted his body slightly to avoid the pincer attack, and with both palms raised, he placed them on the backs, shouting, "You're courting death!"

He unleashed his palm strike, sending the two guards flying into the air. With two loud thuds, they crashed into the wall and pillars, spitting blood as they fell, their fate unknown.

The four were shocked and pounced on him again. Zhou Ning used his unparalleled speed to get to one of them. Suddenly, there was a cracking sound. The man groaned and fell more than three zhang away. His wrist was broken, and he collapsed to the ground unconscious.

The remaining three guards had never seen anything like this before; they were terrified and wanted to run away!

Zhou Ning pushed out with both palms, but only used 30% of his strength.

If he were to use his full palm strike, he could crush not only flesh and blood, but also tall trees and thick walls with a single blow!

All three were thrown to the ground and died from internal organ damage, bleeding from all seven orifices.

Seeing that she was saved, Rong Feiyan remembered Zhou Ning's earlier words and asked, "Did my sister send you to save me?"

"Of course not..." Zhou Ning finally had a chance to look her over.

Rong Feiyan dared not move. Maintaining her position would at least cover up some of the secrets, but if she moved, she would be completely exposed.

Zhou Ning squatted down and began to take off Princess Jiacheng's clothes.

"What...what are you doing?" Rong Feiyan asked.

"I'll take it off and give it to you to wear, yours is all torn! Didn't she have someone ruin your reputation? I'll avenge you!" Zhou Ning said.

Soon, Princess Jiacheng was stripped naked, and all her clothes were thrown to Rong Feiyan.

Zhou Ning thought he couldn't help for nothing, but he also couldn't reveal his identity to avoid getting involved in the struggle between the two kings.

Seeing that Princess Jiacheng's face was swollen but her figure was still good, he didn't hold back and used her to practice his internal skills in front of Rong Feiyan!

"Don't make a sound, or you'll be next!"

Rong Feiyan was still a virgin and was terrified, but she dared not utter a sound or stand up to put on her clothes. She hurriedly covered herself up tightly with the clothes of the Princess of Jiacheng.

Half an incense stick later!

As the clear spring water flowed in, Zhou Ning sat cross-legged, his body a harmonious interplay of water and fire, a union of dragon and tiger.

He received another surge of nearly 50% of his powerful internal energy, and dozens of his vital energy points were broken through one by one, as if mercury was flowing everywhere, making him feel extremely comfortable.

"It really works!"

Zhou Ning opened his eyes. His gaze no longer shone brightly, but it held a gentle, crystalline quality, clearly indicating that his internal strength had reached its peak.

When Rong Feiyan saw him looking over, she became a little scared and took a step back!

"Miss Rong, how should we repay your life-saving grace?" Zhou Ning asked with a smile.

Rong Feiyan instinctively said, "With my body..." but then changed her words, "I have nothing to repay you with, but in the next life I will surely repay you with my life..."

"I can report it! I'm no longer Consort Rong's person, I'm a guard of Prince Yong's mansion!" Zhou Ning, having tasted the sweetness of success, pounced on him!

"No! Ah!"
