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

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Yin Huaixi almost choked on the passion fruit seeds, and her face turned bright red.

She stared at Sang Che, unsure of what to say.

Sang Che really has no shame at all, she just blurts out whatever comes to mind. Doesn't she have any dignity?

She really needs to teach Sang Che what to say and what not to say.

Several respected elders from the Miao village exchanged glances, then, leaning on their canes, approached Yin Huaixi. They were about to pay their respects.

But Yin Huaixi stopped him.

Yin Huaixi: "Grandpa and Grandma, you don't need to be so polite. My relationship with Sang Che isn't as good as you think."

"She just likes to talk nonsense. I'll talk to her about it later."

Sang Zi was secretly surprised when she heard Yin Huaixi say this.

She knew that the Holy Maiden had a bad temper and had been ruthless and decisive in the past.

The Holy Maiden is burdened with countless karmic debts, but thanks to the protection of the gods, she remains safe and sound.

But this woman in front of me is so casual in her attitude towards the Holy Maiden.

The fact that the Holy Maiden was not angry was what surprised Sangzi the most.

Having long been accustomed to Yin Huaixi's behavior, Sang Che slowly walked over, her tall figure blocking Yin Huaixi from the Miao village elder.

It lies across the middle.

"Huaixi, you have a faint fragrance about you. Is it the tea you just drank?"

Sang Che sniffed lightly and could vaguely distinguish that it was the smell of a fruit, sweet and not astringent, with a fragrant aroma.

When Sang Che took the initiative to change the subject, Yin Huaixi knew that Sang Che had been looking forward to seeing if she had brought anything back from her trip.

Yin Huaixi opened the insulated bag containing the milk tea and handed it to Sang Che expressionlessly.

"Hey, I found it on the road, it's wild."

"Drink it or don't, it's up to you."

Yin Huaixi didn't know whether Sang Che preferred sweet or bland, so she simply ordered it to be 50% sweet.

Hearing Yin Huaixi's words, Sang Che lowered her eyes and smiled faintly, opening her palm.

"Then thank you very much, Huaixi, for remembering me and going out hunting for me."

Yin Huaixi: "..."

She strongly suspected that Sang Che was deliberately playing the role of a refined, ancient scholar just to see her get angry and embarrassed!

Despite her anger, Yin Huaixi couldn't let Sang Che, a blind man, poke the milk tea with a straw.

With a few quick movements, Yin Huaixi tore open the straw packaging with her fingers, inserted the straw with a "snap," and handed it to Sang Che.

"Drink it."

"The lemons will turn sour when the ice melts, and then it won't taste good."

Sang Che reached out and grabbed the cold tea.

Under the blazing sun, the heat in the room seemed to dissipate. Sang Che felt very satisfied with Yin Huaixi's attentiveness towards her.

She held the tea in both hands, took a slow sip, and savored the refreshing and sweet taste.

Wanting to make room to talk with Yin Huaixi, Sang Che put down her tea and said to the Miao people standing in the center of the room, "Since I have told you everything I asked you to do, you may all leave now."

"If I need anything, I'll have Little Tooth come to you."

The Holy Maiden has spoken, and it is indeed against the rules for them to continue staying here.

Moreover, the Holy Maiden had no intention of explaining to them who Yin Huaixi was. If they didn't know their place, they wouldn't be worthy of showing their faces in front of the Holy Maiden.

The white-haired old man spoke first: "Yes, Your Majesty, we will take our leave now."

"If you have any further needs, please feel free to come to us. We will do anything for Her Majesty, even go through fire and water."

Seeing the loyalty of these Miao people, Yin Huaixi pondered as she chewed on her straw. It seemed that Sang Che was indeed the Sang Che from the book.

So... does she also possess the rumored "love potion"?

Once most of the people had left, Sang Che stepped forward as if to claim credit, her eyes crinkling slightly as she smiled at Yin Huaixi.

"Huaixi, I have prepared all the documents you mentioned."

"However, according to them, the procedures are complicated and it will take ten days to half a month to complete. But I have a temporary pass, may I travel with you?"

Haha, those abacus beads are practically flying into her face!

She wondered why Sang Che was acting so strangely today. It turned out that she had left him alone in the guesthouse, and he was acting like a resentful woman.

That's when I started thinking about getting the documents.

Yin Huaixi leaned against the wooden table, looking at Sang Che with a helpless tone: "If you want to follow me, what can I do?"

"I can't possibly tie your hands and feet up and leave you on a hotel bed."

To be honest, Yin Huaixi had actually thought about it that way.

Unfortunately, I had the will but not the ability.

If she dares to tie up Sang Che.

The next day, she would be the one tied up and left on the bed, unable to get up.

Faced with Yin Huaixi's unintentional joke, Yin Huaixi clasped her hands together and handed them to Yin Huaixi.

Sang Che's voice held a hint of amusement: "Huai Xi, if you want to do it this way, there's nothing wrong with it."

Looking at Sang Che's slender wrist, Yin Huaixi was speechless. She had really underestimated how shameless Sang Che was.

Yin Huaixi: "Don't mess with me."

"Sang Che, let me tell you, don't take people's tempers lightly. Even a cornered dog will jump over a wall, and a cornered rabbit will bite!"

Yin Huaixi propped her cheeks up with her fingers and deliberately turned her head away from looking at Sang Che.

Even though he couldn't see what Yin Huaixi looked like at that moment, Sang Che still found her incredibly cute.

Sang Che's fingers traced the edge of the table as she slowly sat down next to Yin Huaixi. She asked, "So, is our Huaixi a puppy or a rabbit?"

Yin Huaixi: "?"

This is intolerable!

Yin Huaixi could no longer tolerate it!

She reached out her fingers and, with lightning speed, pinched Sang Che's soft cheek and rubbed it hard.

"Can't you speak properly?"

"You can't speak properly? I'll teach you."

Because her cheeks were being pulled, Sang Che's reply sounded mumbled, and she smiled with her eyes down.

"Huaixi, are you flirting with me?"

Sang Che's single sentence startled Yin Huaixi so much that she almost let go.

However, Sang Che did not give Yin Huaixi this chance. She placed her fingers on Yin Huaixi's wrist and gently grasped it.

Take the opportunity to move closer.

Their noses almost collided, and Sang Che instinctively shrank back, her back hitting the bamboo chair, which hurt her.

He frowned and let out a soft sigh.

At this moment, Han Ke, who arrived late, pushed open the door and saw such an ambiguous scene.

She raised her hands and quickly took a step back.

Han Ke: "Let me state in advance, I didn't see anything!"

"I'll leave right now!"

She grabbed the wooden door with both hands, and before Yin Huaixi could stand up and explain, Han Ke solemnly closed the door.

Yin Huaixi: "..."

Well, now there's no way to clear my name even if I jump into the Yellow River.

She turned and gave Sang Che a more resentful look, not understanding how her life had become so inexplicably intertwined with this guy.

Sang Che lowered his eyes in thought, then asked thoughtfully, "Huai Xi, did you tell your best friend that our relationship is unusual?"

How could she know that?

Could it be that they've planted a Gu worm inside me?! Yin Huaixi realized this and couldn't help but rub her skin with her fingers, as if trying to find the Gu worm that had burrowed into her body.

Hearing the rustling sounds around him, Sang Che immediately guessed what Yin Huaixi was doing.

Sang Che: "Huai Xi, I didn't put any Gu worms on you."

She whispered in Yin Huaixi's ear, "If I were to use a curse on you, Huaixi, I would only use one kind."

"Huaixi, I think you should have heard of its name."

"It's called a love potion."
