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

Compared to what Sang Che said: "Hua He, you've crossed the line."

What surprised Hua He even more was that Sang Che would directly admit that she was the one who personally broke the bondage of the love potion.

Looking across the entire Miao region, no Miao woman would do such a thing.

This is tantamount to letting go of your beloved.

Sang Che, the holy maiden of Miao territory, is the most unpredictable in temperament. Hua He, who has been by her side for many years, has truly witnessed Sang Che's ruthless killing.

Asking Sang Che to let go of what was most important to her would have been a death sentence in the past, if anyone had dared to make that suggestion.

Now that Sang Che is taking the initiative to remove the love curse from Yin Huaixi's body, Hua He can only think that Sang Che has been under the influence of the evil spell of "body possession".

"Ah Che, you..."

The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she didn't know how to say them. Hua He looked surprised and began to wonder if she had stayed in Fengming Mountain for too long and something had gone wrong.

"Don't be surprised. Even if I am the Asura you envision reincarnated, can't I have a moment of tenderness?"

"What you think of me or what you all think of me is not important."

"Huahe, keep your little schemes to yourself. I can forgive you many times for your mother's sake."

"But if you take my kindness for granted, then I'm sorry, I can take it all back."

Sang Che has always turned a blind eye to Hua He's attention-grabbing little actions.

She understood how painful it was for Hua He, being of mixed Miao and Han descent, to feel out of place in the Miao village.

Just like when she was in the emperor's palace, facing those Han people dressed in strange clothes, they would pull her ear every day and teach her what a Confucian sage was and what the Four Books and Five Classics were.

Listening to the Mandarin she couldn't understand no matter how hard she tried, her heart felt like still water.

Sang Che also admired Hua He's mother's decisiveness and resolutely sent Hua He back to the Miao village where they had severed ties.

She is a messenger of God.

They have an obligation to protect God's believers and be considerate of God's people.

Like her, even saints have selfish desires.

Let alone ordinary people.

But this protection is limited.

If Hua He continues to trample on her bottom line, Sang Che's revenge will come silently, just as she did when she turned a blind eye.

When Hua He met Sang Che's dark eyes, she felt a chill run through her body, as if ice spikes were about to pierce her feet.

She seemed to have returned to the way she was when she first met Sang Che, so frightened that she hid behind the hem of her indigo skirt, clutching the bell her mother had given her, and keeping her distance from Sang Che, who was not very old and was playing with a centipede.

The most ferocious poisons in the world, once they fall into Sang Che's hands, all become soft and obedient toys.

Hua He is afraid of centipedes, but even more afraid that she will become a "centipede" that Sang Che will ruthlessly play with.

...

It was because of the love potion that Sang Che's eyes were able to recover temporarily.

To make her a normal person, no longer blind.

But if the love potion is removed and Sang Che and Yin Huaixi completely lose their connection, shouldn't her eyes have returned to being blind?

And why is he staring at her like that for no reason...?

The confusion in Sang Che's eyes vanished, replaced by an unwavering determination.

She reached out and tossed her hair, saying nonchalantly, "Hua He, you're curious why my eyes are so good... right?"

The secret hidden deep in her heart was exposed so nakedly. Hua He gritted her teeth inwardly. Sang Che was really like a dog. His nose was even more sensitive than a Gu worm!

"I might as well tell you."

"I can see it now, and it's getting clearer every day, even without the love potion, even..."

Don't take advantage of her sweetheart.

She can still become a normal person with excellent eyesight.

Upon hearing this, Hua He seemed to realize something, and her expression grew increasingly grim.

Everything suddenly became clear, and Hua He felt as if she had been enlightened.

Sang Che particularly admired her for this.

"What you're thinking right now isn't why my eyes are okay, is it?"

"For many years, I have suffered from cold-related illnesses. Ironically, even in the sweltering summer, I need my men to light a stove for me to ward off the cold."

"Sickly and listless, he's really annoying."

Such humiliation began when Sang Che was a child. Her former pride and defiance were all shattered.

It shattered on the ground.

"I hated it so much, I was in so much pain, but this pain brought me a brief moment of light. I was no longer a blind frog in a well."

"The poisonous herb from the Western Regions that you have now has a similar effect to the cold ailment I suffer from."

"It cured my eyes."

Sang Che had long since stopped using that cumbersome white cloth; the extreme contrast of ice and fire on her body was tormenting her to the point of unbearable pain.

But it also gave her a glimmer of hope, allowing her to see the light again and get a good look at Yin Huaixi's face.

"Ah Che, you're lying... Didn't you say your eyes weren't healed?"

"What's going on now?"

All of Yin Huaixi's chaotic thoughts vanished. She eagerly stepped forward to examine Sang Che's eyes, only to feel as if she had been completely fooled by this person again.

"Ah Che, why didn't you tell me... what reason do you have for not telling me?"

When Yin Huaixi approached, Sang Che did not flinch. She simply lowered her eyes, for the first time not staring directly into Yin Huaixi's eyes.

Sang Che: "Huai Xi, don't you also have things you're hiding from me?"

The wind blew past their skirts, and Sang Che directly broke through the last barrier between Yin Huaixi and her.

Yin Huaixi was stunned.

She instantly understood what Sang Che was talking about.

Faced with the tense situation, Hua He slipped away stealthily, moving back a few inches.

After the friendly "conversation" with Sang Che, Wuming naturally noticed Hua He's plan to slip away. She followed Hua He silently, without making a sound.

This is to prevent Huahe from secretly escaping now.

...

In the snowy weather, countless blue butterflies fluttered above the two of them, and the silver bracelet wrapped around Sang Che's wrist continued to jingle.

Those two's little actions could not escape the surveillance of Sang Che's Gu worms.

"Huaixi, you've been silent for so long, is it because what I said is right?"

After running away for so long, Yin Huaixi decided to go all out and tell everyone everything.

Whether Sang Che can accept it is her business.

With doubt and suspicion lurking in their hearts, this relationship is destined to be short-lived. Just like they are now, each busy with their own lives. Who can feel good about that?

"You guessed right."

"Ah Che, you've always said I'm your destined one, and you've used this method to force me to stay by your side without ever asking for my opinion."

"But now I want to tell you, what if I wasn't Yin Huaixi in the first place?"

"Can you accept this?"

Yin Huaixi wasn't sure if Sang Che would think she was crazy after she said those words.

Maybe...

Everyone here thinks that way, even she, a time traveler, thinks that way.

But she wasn't lying.

Every word she said to Sang Che was true.

Looking at Sang Che again, Yin Huaixi imitated her, her gaze unwavering, mimicking Sang Che's determination to get an answer.

Yin Huaixi took the initiative to reach out and hold Sang Che's wrist, her gaze as shimmering as a clear pool.

"Ah Che, can you accept the truth?"

Even so, will you still love me unconditionally?
