After provoking the holy maiden of Miao territory, she was infected with a love curse.

"You...hate me, don't you?"

"If you don't love me... then hate me for the rest of your life..."

"In that case, Huaixi, you and I are both satisfied, right?"

Sang Che felt her blood surging in her chest. She knew she shouldn't get anxious or agitated, but she couldn't help it.

She couldn't stay calm about anything concerning Yin Huaixi.

Even as darkness descended once more, Sang Che could still sense the vitality of the Gu worms within Yin Huaixi's body. She was afflicted with a cold illness, but the Love Gu suppressed it.

Sang Che has indeed felt a little better these past few days and has been able to withstand the onset of his cold illness...

The connection through the love potion was not severed, but the shared senses between the two gradually faded.

There must be some mistake in the process. By getting to the root of the problem, Sang Che was able to immediately grasp that something was wrong.

Huaixi... took medicine to suppress the onset of the love curse.

"Ah Che, stop talking nonsense and get up right now."

"I'll take you back to the couch to lie down."

Yin Huaixi reached out and hugged Sang Che, pulling him out of the pool.

This time, Sang Che did not resist.

Instead, they let Yin Huaixi do whatever he wanted.

Sang Che's body was so slender that it could be grasped in one hand, and Yin Huaixi scooped him up completely, water dripping from their bodies.

"Huaixi, you don't have to worry about me."

"I'll be able to get out of the bath after a while."

Having been punished by being imprisoned in a water dungeon, Sang Che was already used to being completely immersed in water.

This bit of suffocation was nothing to her.

Hearing Sang Che's words of being so concerned with saving face that he was suffering for it, Yin Huaixi snorted coldly and exposed him in public without giving him any face.

"You got up in the middle of the night, covered in water, were you trying to scare the only living person here to death?"

"Sang Che, I think you should know that you won't die... I still need you now, and I won't allow you to die."

Take medication to suppress the parasites.

Sang Che must have realized that her brief loss of sight tonight was due to the effects of the drugs.

As a holy maiden of Miao territory, how could she not know Hua He's methods and medicinal skills?

From beginning to end, Yin Huaixi never intended to hide this fact. What she wanted was an opportunity, a chance to completely open Sang Che's closed-off heart that he never saw anyone.

It's actually quite difficult to deceive someone who has never experienced "love".

But the most fatal mistake is that these kinds of people often make the mistake of "knowing there are tigers in the mountains, yet still heading towards the tiger's den".

Sang Che is the best example.

Otherwise, in the original story, she wouldn't have believed "Yin Huaixi".

Willingly deceived, willingly...giving everything.

...

He was coaxed by those words.

Sang Che narrowed his eyes slightly and made a laughing sound on Yin Huaixi's back.

She ignored the fact that she was soaking wet and pressed herself even closer to Yin Huaixi.

"Huaixi, you've finally said something I want to hear..."

"What...do you need me to do?"

"Is it killing or saving someone?"

"I will do such a bad thing for you without hesitation, even if it means getting my hands stained with blood. You just need to keep an eye on me."

"If it's to save someone, I'll tell you the prescription, and you can go and save them yourself... That merit will be yours."

Her long, wet hair clung to Sang Che's cheek, the dim candlelight casting shadows on her face.

At first glance, Sang Che has a somewhat sharp and heroic air about him, but he is also extremely creepy.

Tossing a dry towel across Sang Che's cheek, Yin Huaixi took off her damp clothes, which reeked of medicine, and said, half-teasingly and half-helplessly, "I want to kill the emperor. Can you even do that?"

If there is anyone in this world who is the hardest to kill, it must be the one sitting on the dragon throne.

Under the whole world, could it be the king's land.

Within the borders of the land, all are subjects of the king.

His long, slender fingers caught the falling towel.

Sang Che obediently wiped the water droplets from his face, absorbing them little by little.

She didn't evade the question, but thoughtfully replied, "Then I'm afraid we'll have to bring out the Gu King."

The ear twitched.

Yin Huaixi immediately became interested.

Sang Che rarely mentioned the words "Gu King," and she originally thought that it would take some time to uncover this secret.

Unexpectedly, Sang Che actually came to him of his own accord.

Yin Huaixi then asked, "What is a Gu King?"

Sang Che: "The literal meaning."

That's all.

Sang Che, fearing that Yin Huaixi might not understand, added another explanation.

She added, "As the name suggests, the King of All Poisons."

"Only descendants of Chi You can refine this Gu, which consumes their life essence and has the power to backfire."

Therefore, unless it is a matter of national or personal vendetta, the descendants of Chi You would not risk their lives to refine the Gu King unless absolutely necessary.

Yin Huaixi: "Is this Gu King really that powerful? If you were to refine it, wouldn't your life be hanging by a thread? You might be in mortal danger."

Sang Che casually tossed the torn clothes on the ground, and as she stepped on them with her smooth soles, water seeped out.

"So what?"

"Huaixi, didn't I say... I'll do anything you ask me to do?"

And there he is again, with that same sincere expression.

Yin Huaixi closed her eyes and covered her vision with her palms.

"Sang Che, put your clothes on before you speak... please don't do this, okay?"

Sang Che chuckled softly.

Following the familiar scent, she approached Yin Huaixi and, taking advantage of Yin Huaixi's inattention, planted a kiss on Yin Huaixi's cheek, carrying the fragrance of medicine.

"I know you are worried that your family will be threatened by the imperial court, Huaixi... If you want to go to Lingshui City, I promise you, I will go with you."

Unexpectedly, this goal was achieved tonight.

It seems that speaking to Sang Che in a gentle and courteous manner does have its benefits.

"However...once we arrive in Lingshui City, you must listen to me. Those people are of unknown origin and their way out is difficult to find. They are probably already on guard."

"Don't be careless."

Listen to her chatter on and on.

Sang Che seemed afraid that something might happen when they arrived in Lingshui City. Yin Huaixi took the initiative to cup Sang Che's cheeks. By the light of the candle, she could see clearly that Sang Che's eyes had returned to their lifeless state.

This medicine...it really worked.

Unfortunately, it was a drop in the ocean and couldn't break the love spell.

If you've given them a taste of success, then you have to add a strong dose of medicine.

Yin Huaixi kissed Sang Che again, her "self-forgetfulness and passion" making Sang Che's breath catch in his throat.

Pushing him backward, Sang Che stumbled and fell back onto the bed.

The water droplets on her arm rubbed against the bedding, spreading out, and then... her entire back was buried in it.

Yin Huaixi pressed her knees against the edge of the bed, and with one hand she completely controlled Sang Che's neck, clearly intending to domineeringly prevent her from leaving.

Loss of sight.

Hearing, touch, smell... and the fear in one's heart will be amplified infinitely.

Sang Che enjoyed Yin Huaixi's proactive attitude towards her, and regardless of her motives, she would accept it all...

She desperately needs these things.

If Yin Huaixi was willing to give it to her, Sang Che mocked himself, she seemed like she could rush forward like a dog.

"Huai Xi...continue..."

Sang Che's fingers gradually moved to Yin Huaixi's slender waist, and he didn't need much strength to completely pinch her trembling waist.

His body stiffened.

Yin Huaixi stopped the deep kiss.

The glistening water droplets were stretched out…

A blind man, pinned beneath her...

Why does she still act like a wild beast poised to pounce, as if everything before her is merely the beast temporarily revealing its belly to tease her?

She can turn over and take control of whatever the person beneath her wants, anytime, anywhere.

Control her sight, smell, touch, hearing...
