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

Her fingers unconsciously gripped the windowsill, and Yin Huaixi tried to use the pain of her fingertips touching to suppress the rampant desire in her heart.

She was unwilling to admit that she had feelings for Sang Che that she shouldn't have.

A gentle breeze was blowing.

The bamboo grove swayed, making a creaking sound.

Yin Huaixi had a light sweat on her temples.

Her body was also damp and suffocating, and she seemed to taste fresh blood in her mouth.

That day, amidst the babbling brook, she clearly bit and chewed the Gu worm that Sang Che had put into her mouth!

That bug couldn't possibly be alive!

If she were alive, she wouldn't still harbor any resentment towards Sang Che!

She didn't eat the Gu worm... She didn't eat the Gu worm!

How could she possibly have eaten a Gu worm!

"Huaixi, I know you're worried about your second sister, but could you also show me some tenderness and gentleness?"

"I can't stand hearing you say that... you hate me."

In fact, Sang Che did not reject the things Yin Huaixi did to her.

Sang Che took in all of Yin Huaixi's embarrassment with her eyes, and suddenly felt that this was not enough. She wanted to see more of Yin Huaixi's helpless state.

Whether it's the beautiful, shy, and terrified Yin Huaixi, or the bewildered, annoyed, and hateful Yin Huaixi, Sang Che wants to savor them all, to grind them between her lips and teeth.

This is even more delicious than a piece of candy.

It is an unforgettable taste.

"Sang Che... what exactly did you do to me?"

The dried herbs crumbled into powder between her fingers, leaving Yin Huaixi's fingers imbued with a rich, sweet fragrance. She looked up and stared intently at Sang Che's seemingly harmless face.

It has an unyielding spirit.

When questioned like this, Sang Che was not annoyed. She put her hands behind her back, bent her body slightly, and her nose almost brushed against Yin Huaixi's. She smiled charmingly and said, "Huaixi, we eat and sleep together day and night. You should know very well what I have done to you."

"Why bother asking me?"

Pretending to know nothing is truly hateful.

Yin Huaixi gritted her teeth, not daring to look directly at Sang Che's face, afraid that her body would make a choice before her mind.

A choice that makes the owner lose face.

Go get close, go please, go crave, go seek pleasure.

That's so embarrassing!

Biting her lip, Yin Huaixi tried to clear her mind. Her chest heaved violently, and her fingertips were almost worn raw by the wooden window.

"Who knows what despicable things you've done without anyone knowing... Sang Che, don't go too far..."

Faced with repeated questioning, Sang Che couldn't help but reach out and place her cool palm against Yin Huaixi's cheek. She lowered her eyes and stared intently at Yin Huaixi's lips, which she had bitten until they were bright red.

She said softly, "Too much?"

"Huaixi, do you know... how much effort and energy I spent to save you?"

"What good is it if your second sister cares about you? She didn't come to save you. The imperial court wanted to kill you and tear you to pieces. Who saved you then?"

Do you know how desperate I felt when I watched your body grow colder and colder in my arms?

"Huaixi...you don't know..."

"You know nothing."

Seeing Sang Che's expression nearly losing control and gradually revealing a sickly look, Yin Huaixi took two deep breaths, and her heart softened a little more.

They abruptly changed the subject, avoiding further pointless arguments.

"Then tell me."

"Is it... a problem with this herb?"

With her legs completely exhausted, Yin Huaixi managed to find a sliver of rationality in her muddled mind, allowing her to piece together the whole situation.

Jiawan asked Sangche to make medicine. If it was medicine for that kind of thing, then the raw materials must also have their effects.

"That's part of the reason. Huaixi, if you don't feel comfortable, you can go out."

"I'll come and keep you company once I'm done with my work."

What does Sang Che mean by this?

Do you look down on her?

Instead of staring at Sang Che's face, Yin Huaixi held her breath and avoided inhaling his alluring scent. The heat radiating from her body gradually subsided.

It became normal.

"You...you're looking down on me."

"It's just tidying up these medicinal herbs. Wait for me to get a veil; you can cover yourself up..."

In the Miao holy maiden's private medicine storehouse, Yin Huaixi could learn many things that would help her escape this place later.

Having many skills is never a bad thing.

It's always good to learn more.

Seeing that she still wanted to show off, Sang Che did not stop her too much.

She stepped back, making room for Yin Huaixi.

The love potion in Yin Huaixi's body is unstable; it's only a semi-finished product.

If we want to stabilize Yin Huaixi's recent turbulent emotions and completely restore the clarity of her blurred vision, we need to continue feeding her essence and blood.

If her blood were presented nakedly to Yin Huaixi, she would surely become suspicious and would not drink it without hesitation.

However, if it is mixed into daily food, it will destroy the medicinal properties, and the gu worms will not be of much help after eating it.

After much thought, Sang Che decided that he should take advantage of Yin Huaixi's dream to pry open her lips and tongue and pour fresh blood into her mouth.

That way, Huaixi will stay by her side forever.

...

Wearing a straw hat and a thin veil.

He wrapped himself up tightly, like a fugitive from the imperial court.

Only then did Yin Huaixi step back in, completely satisfied.

Ignoring Sang Che's face, Yin Huaixi's body was uncontrollably searching for Sang Che's scent in the air.

However, the pharmacy was filled with the strong aroma of medicinal herbs, so Yin Huaixi couldn't smell anything and felt particularly at ease.

Having collected all the necessary medicinal herbs, Sang Che turned around and saw Yin Huaixi dressed like this.

She suppressed the urge to burst out laughing, her eyes crinkling slightly as she looked at Yin Huaixi and said, "Huaixi, I'm not that bee, why are you so afraid?"

Yin Huaixi rolled her eyes and retorted listlessly, "You're scarier than a bee."

She flipped through the prescription written by Sang Che, reading it carefully. After memorizing all the medicinal herbs, Yin Huaixi carefully avoided Sang Che's figure through the wooden shelf and the yellowish-brown book.

He feigned a studious attitude, eager to learn, and then casually asked, "If one is poisoned by this drug, how can one recover?"

Hearing her words, Sang Che didn't need to think carefully to understand what Yin Huaixi meant.

She walked toward the direction where Yin Huaixi was hiding, listening to the dull sound of her bare feet on the wooden planks and the slight trembling of the bells.

Yin Huaixi quickly covered her face with the prescription, refusing to look at Sang Che's alluring face.

"Huaixi, why do you need to worry about this?"

"I'm not going to let you use this thing."

Who would believe that?!

Yin Huaixi turned away stiffly, unwilling to look at Sang Che even once more. This time she had learned her lesson and held her breath whenever Sang Che got close.

She couldn't choose him, so she wondered where Sang Che could soften her heart.

"Do you think I'm just eager to learn?"

"I'm so bored here, it's never a bad thing to learn more...maybe I can even use it to protect myself from bad guys in the future."

The villain herself, Sang Che, fell silent. Leaning against the medicine cabinet, she said calmly, "This medicine is just potent; the antidote isn't difficult to find."

"If you want to know, bring me paper and pen, and I will read it to you now."

Happiness came too suddenly?!

Yin Huaixi turned around suspiciously, only to be met with Sang Che's "peacock spreading its tail" pose.

The thought in her heart was almost uncontrollable; she wanted to take a step forward, to be by Sang Che's side, to hug her, to cling to her, to smell her scent...

"Okay, I'll go get some paper and pen!"

"You're not allowed to lie to people!"

Yin Huaixi staggered and almost tripped. She felt that after Sang Che finished reading the antidote to her, she would have to go back and brew a dose to drink.

Otherwise, why would she be so severely affected by these herbs, her mind filled with desires!
