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

Yin Huaixi's nose bridge pressed firmly against Sang Che's collarbone, causing her to see stars.

Her knee hit the edge of the bathtub, and she grimaced in pain.

Fortunately, Sang Che became Yin Huaixi's human cushion.

Otherwise, Yin Huaixi wouldn't dare to imagine how serious her fall must have been.

I definitely won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow.

He was pressed down in the bathtub, the cold porcelain surface pressed against his back, but Sang Che did not show any sign of pain.

"Huaixi, you can't be so careless next time."

Hearing the laughter in the voice of the person beneath her, Yin Huaixi felt a chill run down her spine.

If an ordinary person were bumped like that, they would have cried out in pain, but Sang Che acted as if nothing had happened and was even laughing.

She... she's a complete freak!

Subconsciously straightening her back, Yin Huaixi hadn't even had time to leave Sang Che's side before Sang Che hugged her from behind.

Losing her balance, Yin Huaixi fell into Sang Che's arms again.

This time, Yin Huaixi's cheek brushed against the silver butterfly ornament pinned to Sang Che's braided hair. The cold, sharp touch kept Yin Huaixi's rationality at all times.

Her sense of touch and hearing seemed to have reached their peak.

Sang Che: "Huai Xi... this cold place feels like my coffin where I sleep."

"I don't know how long I stayed in the coffin. Every time I opened my eyes, every time I consulted the oracle."

I'm hoping I can find you.

With his eyelashes drooping, Sang Che closed his eyes.

She gently rubbed her cheek against the "treasure" she had lost and found again.

"But I have waited for countless years, across mountains and rivers, yet I cannot find your trace no matter how hard I try."

Listening to Sang Che's heartbeat, Yin Huaixi stopped struggling this time. She couldn't quite understand why Sang Che was so stubborn in protecting someone for a thousand years.

Besides... does Chi You's divine blood have this effect?

Unable to break free from Sang Che, Yin Huaixi had no choice but to compromise. She hesitated before asking, "Then... why are you waiting?"

"If I die, finding someone else shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?"

"Sang Che, why are you so fixated on me?"

Yin Huaixi couldn't understand why Sang Che was so stubborn about a dead person, and why he wouldn't let her go even now.

Upon hearing this question, Sang Che opened his eyes.

Her heart ached slightly, and she wanted to see her beloved's face a few more times before she went blind.

Sang Che: "Because I promised you, Huai Xi, that I would love you forever, until the end of my life."

"Your death...is my fault."

"That's why I want you to come back to life."

"No matter the cost, even if it means being banished by the gods, Huaixi, I will make sure you live."

Sang Che spoke earnestly.

For no apparent reason, Yin Huaixi felt a stinging sensation in the corners of her eyes, as if she were about to cry.

With her palms braced against the cold porcelain surface of the bathtub, Yin Huaixi suddenly stood up.

She deliberately tried to divert attention, saying, "Sang Che, stop being so sentimental... get up and change your clothes."

"Lying naked in the bathtub, aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

"You'll be in for a rough time when you get a headache or fever, I'm not kidding you."

Although the words were slightly disdainful, Sang Che heard them as heavenly music.

Huaixi was showing concern for her.

Climbing out of the bathtub, Sang Che took the clothes Yin Huaixi handed her and slipped them on, smoothing out the wrinkles by rolling up the hem with her hands.

Yin Huaixi, who witnessed the whole thing: "..."

Sang Che was definitely playing her for a fool!

Unforgivable!

Yin Huaixi's surprised gaze seemed to have an effect on Sang Che, who, clutching the somewhat rough fabric of her clothes, laughed and said, "Huaixi, how come you're getting poorer and poorer?"

"Won't this cheap material feel uncomfortable against the skin?"

Having been completely sunk, Yin Huaixi now had no desire to pay any attention to Sang Che.

She gave a cold laugh and straightened up.

Yin Huaixi: "Wear it or not, it's up to you. Anyway, I only have a few clothes."

Sang Che wasn't angry at being rebuffed. As if she had thought of something, she bent down and picked up her clothes that she had changed out of, rummaging through them.

Sang Che took out an exquisite purse and handed it to her.

"Huaixi, these are the things I've collected over the years, they should be worth some money."

Looking at the embroidery on the purse, Yin Huaixi knew that it was not cheap to make. She pursed her lips and felt a surge of heat in her chest.

No...no!

How can a person bow down for five pecks of rice!

They have absolutely no ambition!

Despite despising herself in her heart, Yin Huaixi couldn't move her feet.

She's about to graduate from university and needs to find a job to support her family. She's been staying at home for a few days, and her parents keep nagging her.

Sang Che's despicable "seduction"

Yin Huaixi simply couldn't refuse.

Besides, isn't staying in a guesthouse or hotel expensive?

Sang Che is so stubborn about following her, shouldn't he pay some fees?

While Yin Huaixi was still struggling with her own thoughts and hadn't reached a conclusion, Sang Che made the decision for her.

Sang Che's fingers spread out his palm, and then he placed the bulging purse in Yin Huaixi's palm.

Sang Che: "Huai Xi, keep it."

"You were their original owner."

"I have no use for these material possessions."

That open and honest demeanor, unswayed by money, is truly infuriating.

But who would turn down gold that's offered to them?

Yin Huaixi glanced at Sang Che, then reached out and opened her purse. Inside... were not the gold beans or gold leaves Yin Huaixi had imagined.

It is, in fact, the finest jade.

All sorts of miscellaneous items, but at a glance, they are all priceless antiques.

"This jade pendant was once a masterpiece sought after by jewelry stores. It took me a bit of effort to buy it."

"Huaixi, do you like it?"

Sang Che approached Yin Huaixi again.

She had just taken out not only this small purse from her clothes, but also a jade-green dish.

Inside lay a curled-up love potion.

It was enormous, its massive body almost taking up all the space inside the vessel.

Even at a time like this, Yin Huaixi's tough tongue softened.

She did not refuse the "compensation for emotional distress" offered to her by Sang Che.

Yin Huaixi: "It's alright."

"Consider this as payment for you staying with me. After all, people need money to eat, sleep, and drink."

"Do you know how much our hotel costs per night?"

Prices skyrocketed everywhere during the National Day holiday, but Yin Huaixi managed to book this restaurant well in advance to save a significant amount of money.

If I booked it on the same day, my wallet would probably go bankrupt.

Yin Huaixi makes unconscious little movements when she lies, and Sang Che sees through her thoughts at a glance.

However, she did not expose it.

Wearing a white t-shirt, which made her look even slimmer and taller, Sang Che leaned against the sink, one hand supporting her on it, her braid draped over her shoulder.

Sang Che raised an eyebrow. Her eyes were clear, her face was refreshed, and her gaze carried a hint of heat.

"Huaixi, take my things."

"Shouldn't you give me a thank-you gift?"

Yin Huaixi: "..."

It's true what they say: money is hard to earn, and sex is hard to enjoy!

Don't laugh, you won't get past the second hurdle either!

She's waiting for him here!

However, considering the amount of money involved, she could barely forgive Sang Che's excessive behavior.

Yin Huaixi turned to Sang Che, hiding her purse behind her back, and asked casually, "Sang Che, what do you want?"

Sang Che chuckled: "A kiss."

"Huaixi, would you give yourself to me?"

or more.

Sang Che admitted that she was greedy.

She wanted more than just a kiss.
