The Master and His Wealthy Fiancée
Chapter 547 548: Thoroughly Rotten Old Bastard
'Where in the world is this?'
Just as Chen Dong was about to ask, Zisang Jin walked out wearing a light green dress, her embroidered shoes also swapped for an elegant, light green pair.
Chen Dong's mouth twitched. He swallowed the words he was about to say.
Zisang Jin currently looked like a woman in her forties, so the girlish outfit was clearly a mismatch.
However, Zisang Jin's underlying features were still delicate and lovely, and after a second glance, the look had a certain unique charm.
It was then that Chen Dong realized he was wearing a groom's outfit.
The last time he wore a groom's outfit... was the last time he wore one. In any case, Chen Dong felt that nothing good ever happened when he was dressed as a groom.
He then asked Zisang Jin, "Who changed my clothes? And how did I end up here? Where is this place?"
After her ordeal, Zisang Jin was in low spirits. She only remembered fighting Yun Mengshang to the death. She had somehow been saved, but what about Yun Mengshang?
Only she and Chen Dong were here, and their outfits were the same as before. Plus, judging by her own spiritual aura, not much time had passed—probably less than two hours.
'The one who saved Chen Dong and me could only be that person.'
So, Zisang Jin replied, "I don't know where this is, either. But it must have been that lord who brought us here."
"That lord? Which lord? Can't you just say it outright?"
Zisang Jin lowered her head, her gaze filled with reverence.
"To know that lord's name is somewhat disrespectful to him!"
Chen Dong instantly felt a headache coming on. This wasn't the Illusory Sect; she was acting like a zealous believer.
'Wait. There's only one person I can think of who someone like Zisang Jin would revere so deeply.'
"It couldn't be You, could it?" Chen Dong asked bluntly.
Zisang Jin frowned in anger. "Shut your mouth! How can you speak his lordship's name so directly! That lord is the savior of the Human Race in the Floating Shadow Realm!"
Chen Dong slapped his forehead. The annoyance was turning into a real headache.
"So it really is him. Nothing good ever happens when I run into him! Forget it. Wait for me a minute, I'm going to change into a Magic Robe!"
With that, Chen Dong went back into the hall and changed into a set of black long-sleeved robes. He looked at the red groom's attire he had taken off, then after a moment's thought, stored it in his ring.
As he walked out of the hall, Zisang Jin said unhappily, "His lordship wasn't the one who changed you into those red clothes. Why are you so angry?"
As they searched for a way out, Chen Dong asked, "Then how did I end up in that outfit?"
The hall exerted a powerful suppressive force on Divine Sense. Chen Dong found that his Divine Sense couldn't even grasp the hall's full layout, while Zisang Jin's soul was frozen solid, making it impossible for her to use her Divine Sense at all.
"Someone must have put them on you. Don't you remember your wedding today?"
Chen Dong was stunned. "I got married? Today? To whom?"
He repeated these questions to Mu Qingzhu inside the Jade Embryo, but she gave no response. The Jade Embryo was still there, its aura stabilizing. What was wrong with Mu Qingzhu?
Chen Dong asked several more times but still got no answer, making him even more curious about what had happened.
Zisang Jin gritted her teeth. "Who else could it be but Yun Mengshang? And what's with this Demon Race disguise of yours? If his lordship hadn't pointed it out, I would have truly believed you were one of the Demon Race."
Chen Dong didn't dare speak about the Demon Refining Pot, not even to Zisang Jin.
So, Chen Dong continued, "I only remember Yun Mengshang wanting to form a marital bond with me. I don't remember anything that happened after that!"
Zisang Jin shook her head, speechless, and sighed softly. "How could you believe the words of the Demon Race? When I found you, you were already under the control of a Charm Technique. Besides that, there was another method used to control you... and... and it could also manipulate you with lust!"
Chen Dong instantly recalled the unnatural, faint fragrance. His expression darkened as he said to Zisang Jin, "Tell me everything you know. I must have lost my memory after I was controlled!"
Immediately, Zisang Jin recounted everything she had learned about Chen Dong's situation over the past month. This included how she received the message from Yun Misha, the Tier Nine Protection Talisman that Lord You had given her, how she had journeyed to the Demon Realm to rescue Chen Dong, and the final great battle against Yun Mengshang.
Chen Dong listened quietly, feeling a growing sense of guilt as he looked at Zisang Jin's current appearance. If it weren't for him, she never would have gone to the Demon Realm, nor would she have burned through all her longevity in the end.
"Once my Divine Techniques are restored, I'll help you recover your longevity. You don't have to worry!"
Zisang Jin shot Chen Dong a look. "You'd better!" Then, remembering the way Chen Dong used that strange Divine Technique, her cheeks couldn't help but flush and burn.
The two of them walked through a long corridor and passed several magnificent halls, only to realize they seemed to be lost.
Now, even if they wanted to return to the initial hall with the stone bed, they couldn't find the way back. This palace complex was simply enormous—dozens of times larger than Cyan Sky Sect's Main Peak.
And that was just a guess, as they couldn't even see the full extent of the palace complex.
The layout of the palace seemed to be arranged by an Array. But since the Array wasn't active, Chen Dong couldn't make heads or tails of it. Moreover, his Divine Sense was suppressed, and the halls they had just passed would plunge back into darkness, becoming impossible to probe.
They wandered in circles, not seeing a single person—in fact, they hadn't seen any other living beings at all. They had no idea what this You wanted to do!
Finally, Chen Dong stopped walking. He narrowed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and shouted, "You, you old bastard, you slippery son of a bitch, get out here!"
