Shen Wang pondered for a moment but wasn't worried,

considering the strength and status of a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator, there was no need to concern himself too much with the Sixth Prince, who surely wouldn't meddle in trivial affairs. As long as he was not provoked, there was no threat.

"I don't know if the Jade Silkworm Valley has any Nascent Soul Great Cultivators. They likely do, yet they still opted for an alliance through marriage, probably knowing that there's a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator backing the Sixth Prince."

Shen Wang mused, sensibly sidestepping and scanning the rest of the area. He quickly found the Sixth Prince's bedchamber, which was empty inside, and then discovered the treasury, stuffed with treasures.

Unfortunately, he could only look and didn't dare to take anything temporarily. After wandering around, Shen Wang used special methods to hide himself and stopped probing further.

The banquet in the main hall lasted the entire afternoon. After it ended, representatives from various sects did not leave but were called aside for a discussion by the Sixth Prince.

Shen Wang eavesdropped a bit; essentially, it was about the numerous natural disasters plaguing the regions and the need for the major sects to assist the Sun and Moon Dynasty in managing the states to maintain stability as much as possible.

Ultimately, it was about preserving the Dynasty's rule, bringing obedient ones closer, and suppressing those who aren't.

After the talk, representatives from the sects smiled and agreed to cooperate before taking their leave.

Yet, some sect representatives were met privately by the Sixth Prince, including Liu Da Rong.

Seeing this, Shen Wang immediately got up and left.

A miraculous scene unfolded; as he walked outside, people around him seemed unaware of his presence.

Actually, Shen Wang had utilized the array's power to form a temporary isolated passage nearby, making it hard to detect any anomalies without careful sensing.

Quietly, Shen Wang arrived at the rear, where the Sixth Prince was conversing with Liu Da Rong: "Apart from the Magical Artifact, I need you to complete this array as soon as possible."

"Sixth Prince, the time is indeed too short. Recently, our Array Refining Pavilion has suffered a loss of talent, missing two key figures. I can't guarantee to have this custom top-grade array prepared within a year,"

Liu Da Rong looked troubled.

"I have looked into your situation, and if the Artifact Refining Pavilion assists, it can be accomplished."

The Sixth Prince said, "I will speak to your Sect Leader; they will cooperate with you."

"We'll do our best."

Liu Da Rong's eyes shifted, instantly suspecting some might be conspiring with the Sixth Prince. Otherwise, with their current conflict with the Artifact Refining Pavilion, how could they cooperate well?

"I won't see Pavilion Master Liu off then."

The Sixth Prince, satisfied, saw him off.

As Liu Da Rong stepped out, he ran into Shen Wang, his face darkened: "What's going on with you?"

"I'm not lying to you; I was indeed controlled but managed to develop well here on my own, just have the qualification to sit at the table."

Shen Wang smiled wryly: "Just don't concern yourself with me for now."

"I don't have the spare time to worry about you; they're pressuring our Array Refining Pavilion to craft a special top-grade array. I'll be busy as soon as we get back."

Liu Da Rong glanced around, "Aren't you afraid of being beaten after secretly controlling the array here?"

"There's no way around it; I had to find an opportunity to tell you."

Shen Wang said helplessly.

"Hey, you be careful; this Sixth Prince is no good."

Liu Da Rong sighed, unable to assist Shen Wang any further, and left with large strides.

Almost outside, he paused and said, "Your brother-in-law might not last long. If possible, find a chance at year-end to let Yun Shu come back for a final visit."

"Mm."

Only then did Shen Wang think of the critically ill Zheng Bingzhong, his brother-in-law whose Divine Soul was impaired, wondering if his blood could save him.

If not, he still needed to let Zheng Yunshu return once to prevent regret.

The two exchanged a few words before casually parting ways.

Both were powerless to do much.

Returning to the courtyard, Shen Wang covertly observed the Sixth Prince.

The latter gave Chief Steward Shen a few instructions before going back to his bedroom.

Molan, dressed in all red, sat on the bed, extraordinarily beautiful.

Seeing the Sixth Prince, she spoke, "Song Huirui, at most, we can be Dao companions in name. I will not marry you."

"Hmph! Is this something you can decide?"

Song Huirui sneered, "I heard you and Cloud Spirit were friends; you should know her fate."

Molan's eyes burned with anger: "I know you robbed her of her Golden Core Origin and violated her; it's precisely because of such actions that I refuse to marry you!"

"Ridiculous, do you have a choice?"

Reeking of alcohol, Song Huirui approached Molan, "You better accept my goodwill, or else, unpleasant things will happen. By allying with your Jade Silkworm Valley, your status is much higher than that slut, and there's a chance for you to become an Imperial Consort. If you don't know your place, then you'll only be a concubine!"

"I've said, at most I'm just your nominal woman, I won't let you touch me."

Molan wasn't intimidated.

"Tonight, I will sleep with you; enough with the hard act!"

Song Huirui, his eyes showed a tyrannical shine, lifted Molan's chin, "Do you know what happens to disobedient women? I could have my men teach you a lesson!"

Molan's eyes remained indifferent, unthreatened.

"Acting aloof?"

Song Huirui coldly laughed, his other hand reaching to strip her clothes, suddenly noticing the hand touching Molan's chin began to blacken, rapidly spreading to his wrist.

Startled, he retreated hastily, but searing pain shot from his palm. Quickly, he unleashed mana, casting a golden light to block the black poison.

"Bitch! You dare poison me!"

The Sixth Prince grew furious, smack!

He slapped Molan across the face, but the other hand similarly blackened. The terrifying toxin invaded, such that even his mana couldn't suppress it.

Molan said calmly, "Song Huirui, have you heard of a body called the Body of Ten Thousand Poisons?"

"Body of Ten Thousand Poisons?"

Song Huirui frowned, taking out an antidote to swallow, barely suppressing the poison.

"Exactly, a unique physique that gathers the force of a thousand poisons; it's a Postnatal physique, yet more terrifying than many Innate physiques."

Molan continued, "With such a body, contact leads to poisoning. If you wish to touch me, see if you can withstand the power of ten thousand poisons, especially with your lower body."

Song Huirui's face was grave: "You're crazy! Willing to poison yourself just to avoid my touch?"

"What's there to it? Although it's dangerous, it's also a kind of special cultivation."

Molan had no regrets, "I never wanted to marry you; it's only due to sect pressure that I consented. In name alone I married you, my body you will never have."

"Alright, you're ruthless enough!"

Song Huirui backed off angrily, unwilling to touch Molan again.

Though his cultivation exceeded hers slightly, poison could transcend levels, and with both at the same great realm, he truly lacked confidence to counter it.

Shen Wang didn't anticipate such a scene unfolding and mused, "Body of Ten Thousand Poisons? The Grand Poison Manual describes it as a poison more feared than the Gu King, the sovereign among poisons, capable of devouring any toxin. This physique can never engage with others; as its power grows, poison potency escalates, causing poison even upon approach… This woman… is truly ruthless."

Remembering the description in the Grand Poison Manual, this Body of Ten Thousand Poisons ranked among the top two in all classes of poison; the only one surpassing it was the Gu Saint Body toxin.

He watched the Sixth Prince struggle with detoxification; having consumed the antidote Shen Wang concocted, it still wasn't enough, necessitating another costly Antitoxic Pill to expel his poisoned blood, burning it to ash.

That night, the Sixth Prince stayed away from Molan, opting instead to research the Body of Ten Thousand Poisons, learning just how fearsome it was.

At that moment, Song Huirui felt an unprecedented dilemma.

The following day, Silver Moon came to see him.

With a stern expression, she instructed, "You need to continue researching the antidote."

"Research more? Do you really think I'm so talented?"

Shen Wang rolled his eyes. He couldn't let his daughter delve into the Poison Dao; that was far too dangerous, unlike array studies which could remain theoretical, researching poison wasn't viable.

"It's an order; if you want to refuse, tell the Sixth Prince yourself."

"Fine, but my treatment must be enhanced."

Shen Wang figured the Sixth Prince was still unwilling to be threatened by the Body of Ten Thousand Poisons, hence the ongoing antidote research.

"You will be compensated,"

Silver Moon didn't decline, "Starting today, your salary will be raised to the official attendant level, you're free to schedule your time, and you'll have two people at your command."
