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

When she didn't receive a response from Yin Huaixi, Sang Che's heart sank. She stepped back, completely blocking the medicine cabinet.

"Huaixi, if you don't want to go, don't force yourself. I won't pressure you."

Seeing her like this, Yin Huaixi was still wondering what exactly was piled up in Sang Che's other warehouse.

This warehouse is mostly filled with poisons, so conversely, the other warehouse should contain many methods to cure poisons.

The method of "removing the Gu" is very important to her. Having stayed in this village for so long, Yin Huaixi knows that in this place where Gu worms crawl everywhere, one must have a skill to rely on in order not to be chewed into bone fragments.

"Who said I don't want to go?"

"Since it's a proper bonfire party, I might as well agree."

"Now you'll be willing to take me to the other warehouse, right?"

Yin Huaixi has improved compared to before; at least she can hide half of her emotions now, but the other half still gives her away.

Sang Che, who saw right through her, didn't expose her little scheme and nodded in agreement.

"If you want to go, I'll take you there now."

With her eyebrows and eyes raised, Yin Huaixi was extremely happy.

"real?"

Sang Che reached out and placed his hand on her wrist, his fingertips slowly moving down and forcefully squeezing between his fingers until their palms touched.

She replied earnestly, "Really."

Yin Huaixi was already used to being unexpectedly held in hand and hugged by Sang Che from time to time.

She let Sang Che lead her to another warehouse.

The corridor was not guarded by any Miao people and was very quiet, with only the sound of the wind howling.

Yin Huaixi remembered the route, and when she turned around, dozens of butterflies were already swirling around Sang Che, dancing gracefully.

"This is it."

Arriving at the tightly locked gate, Sang Che stopped in her tracks. The butterflies that had followed her also perched on the wooden railings, showing no sign of moving.

Looking at the unmoving brass lock hanging on the door, Yin Huaixi was speechless.

"My dear A-Che, how am I supposed to get in? Aren't you going to call a maid to open the door for us?"

Sang Che: "No need for that trouble, I have the key."

Upon hearing that there was a key, Yin Huaixi immediately lowered her head, her eyes curiously scanning Sang Che up and down.

"Where?"

Sang Che: "Come and get it yourself."

After saying that, Sang Che slightly swayed her sleeves and put her hands behind her back, showing no intention of getting the keys.

Yin Huaixi: "..."

How can someone be so shameless!

"Take it, Ah Che, don't hide."

Rolling up her sleeves, Yin Huaixi thought back to the days when she used to serve Sang Che by bathing him in herbal medicine.

Anyway, they've been completely honest with each other countless times, so one more time won't make a difference.

So what if I touched it?

She wasn't the one being touched.

With his hands clasped behind his back, Sang Che leaned forward, his nose almost touching Yin Huaixi's lips.

She said gently, "No matter how you want to take it, I won't run away."

Again, she was fearless and didn't hold back. This time, Yin Huaixi bent down and actually groped around Sang Che's waist.

With a rustling sound from her fingertips, Yin Huaixi once again smelled the alluring fragrance emanating from Sang Che, a fragrance that seemed to seep into her very bones.

For a moment, Yin Huaixi was captivated, and her heart pounded wildly as if something was attached to it.

The sound was deafening.

"Huaixi, why did you stop?"

"The key is right next to you; you just need to reach out and touch it..."

A strange emotion surged within her. Yin Huaixi had felt similar emotions before when facing Sang Che, but the fluctuations were not significant, and she could suppress them with just one thought.

But now, no matter how much Yin Huaixi suppressed the tingling sensation in her heart, she seemed unable to resist being attracted to the person in front of her... and gradually a strange feeling arose within her.

My chest was pounding and my blood was flowing faster.

Her fingers frantically searched and finally grasped the warm key. Yin Huaixi pulled hard and ripped the key off.

She clenched her fist in her palm, and hurriedly tried to escape to open the door.

Before she could escape, Sang Che's warm lips unexpectedly landed on Yin Huaixi's cheek.

In that instant, the crisp sound of silver bells drowned out the heartbeat. Sang Che's fingers enveloped Yin Huaixi's hand, and she whispered, "There's a trick to opening this lock. If you do it wrong, Huaixi, this door will never be able to open again."

"Come closer to me."

"Huaixi, I will explain the steps to you..."

It was just an ordinary sentence, but Yin Huaixi was involuntarily drawn in. Her throat bobbed, and only one thought remained in her mind.

She wanted to kiss the person speaking in front of her, and wanted to...do something excessive without thinking.

The lips and tongue gradually become dry and hot.

Yin Huaixi licked her lips... and wanted to drink a large gulp of water again.

"Go ahead, I'm listening..."

With nowhere to hide, Yin Huaixi could only lower her head, and her "shy" appearance was seen by Sang Che.

Suddenly, her desire to see Yin Huaixi's face clearly reached its peak. Sang Che kept telling her not to rush things, and she did just that.

However, after resting for so long, the body is indeed able to release more blood.

Sang Che plans to take action tonight. She also needs to have Yi Yun and the others prepare medicine to replenish their qi and blood, otherwise Huai Xi will become suspicious if her face is too pale.

The door was opened hastily, and it was pretty much as Yin Huaixi had expected. This private warehouse was mostly filled with antidotes and methods to remove or avoid poison.

It has everything, a dazzling array of choices.

...

Yin Huaixi, who had spent the whole day in the warehouse, slept soundly through the night.

Sang Che, however, was not sleepy at all.

She threw back the covers and gracefully got up.

Wearing only a thin bathrobe, Sang Che went to the cabinet and opened the drawer.

The small knife that had been used to feed the Gu worms still lay quietly in the box. Sang Che picked it up, and a faint candlelight had been lit at some point.

She looked at the cold glint of the blade and, without any hesitation, pressed her fingertips against it.

The blade sliced ​​through the skin, and countless drops of blood seeped out, which Sang Che caught in a cup.

Soon, the small teacup was filled.

Sang Che's face also turned deathly pale.

After applying medicine to her fingertips, Sang Che carried a cup and slowly approached Yin Huaixi. She squatted down, looked at Yin Huaixi's sleeping face, and then used her hand to brush away Yin Huaixi's messy hair, revealing her face completely.

"Huai Xi..."

"If we drink all of this... then we can be together forever..."

"No one can take you away, and no one can separate us, right?"

Her tone was sickly.

Sang Che could clearly sense the pulsating Gu worms inside Yin Huaixi's body.

Blood soaked Yin Huaixi's lips. Unconscious in her sleep, she only swallowed a mouthful of thick, bloody taste, which made Yin Huaixi frown. She pursed her lips and refused to swallow any more.

Sang Che could only tilt her head back slightly and continue lowering her...

Only after finishing the drink did Sang Che stop restraining Yin Huaixi. A little blood had seeped from her fingertips and stained Yin Huaixi's neck.

Looking at Yin Huaixi's taut lines, Sang Che didn't wipe them clean with a handkerchief. Instead, he slightly parted his thin lips and took Yin Huaixi's slender neck into his mouth.

Her eyes were fixed on him with lingering affection.

She took a small bite.

I want to leave my own unique mark.
