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

The words "love potion" made Yin Huaixi stiffen. She felt as if Sang Che was holding her throat.

Even breathing became heavy.

Yin Huaixi: "Sang Che...stop scaring me!"

Hearing Yin Huaixi still address her so stiffly as "Sang Che," Sang Che frowned and moved closer to Yin Huaixi.

He pulled Yin Huaixi into his arms.

"Huaixi, you shouldn't call me that... I don't like you calling me that... You should call me by my name like before... call me Ache."

"Huaixi, you're getting more and more disobedient. If I really have no other choice, I'll have to use a love potion to force you to stay by my side."

Sang Che wasn't joking when she said that; she wasn't just trying to scare Yin Huaixi. She really meant it.

She was tired of her wife calling her by her full name; she wanted more affectionate terms.

Sang Che, whose appetite had been insatiable, was not so easily satisfied; she was tired of having to act weak and submissive in front of Yin Huaixi every day.

She wanted more; she wanted to see the deep affection for her in Yin Huaixi's eyes.

This meager moisture, even shallower than rainwater, was no longer enough to satisfy Sang Che's desires.

She wants more...more...

As her struggles subsided, Yin Huaixi realized that Sang Che wasn't joking with her, but was seriously "discussing" the matter with her.

Please, can this be considered a discussion?

This is outright coercion.

However, Sang Che has always been this way of being. No matter how you reason with her, it goes in one ear and out the other, and she only believes in her own ideas.

Otherwise, Sang Che wouldn't have stubbornly clung to the coffin for nearly a thousand years.

Just to wait for her reincarnation.

She's definitely a... female ghost.

And she was a female water ghost.

It clings to people and drags them down relentlessly, never to be separated for lifetimes to come.

He noticed that the person in his arms was gradually calming down.

Sang Che knew that her "scheme" had succeeded.

Warm breath escaped her nostrils, and Sang Che chuckled softly in Yin Huaixi's ear before releasing her.

"Huaixi, shouldn't you... call me A-Che now?"

Those who understand the times are wise.

Never be stubborn when you shouldn't be.

Yin Huaixi closed her eyes, and after a long pause, she finally uttered the "A-Che" that Sang Che had always wanted to hear.

Satisfied, Sang Che pressed his cheek against hers, nuzzled her, and planted another kiss.

Sang Che: "That's more like it... Huai Xi."

"We were born to be together."

...

Mealtime.

The guesthouse owner prepared a table full of dishes, and he looked at Sang Che with great caution, afraid of offending him.

"You three, be careful, it's hot."

"This is a fresh fish soup that I cooked myself."

Few people in their village believed the rumors about the Moon River.

But the village chief and his men's serious demeanor still made the guesthouse owner tremble with fear. As the saying goes, it's better to believe it exists than not to believe it doesn't.

Moon River is a place where accidents frequently occur. Although the boss said he didn't believe it, he was secretly trembling with fear.

"This table is overflowing with food, Huaixi, did you bribe the boss?"

Having stayed in hotels and guesthouses for so many days, this was the first time Han Ke had ever seen the extravagance of a Manchu Han Imperial Feast.

The hotel they booked included meals and lodging, and the dishes the owner had prepared in the past few days were quite normal, mostly home-style stir-fries, nothing expensive.

Yin Huaixi: "..."

The guesthouse owner clearly wasn't doing this because of her.

It was out of respect for Sang Che.

Yin Huaixi: "Just consider it as me paying for the meal. There are three of us eating, and the portion for two isn't enough."

Han Ke gave a thumbs up.

"Huaixi, you really know how to take care of people."

"I want my future relationships to be like yours."

Their intimate conversation left Sang Che feeling depressed, and she looked dejected.

Sang Che did not pick up the bowl and chopsticks placed in front of her.

Originally, Yin Huaixi was trying to avoid Han Ke's questions about the details of their relationship by burying her head in her rice. She was so flustered that she was sweating profusely. She couldn't help but sneak a glance at Sang Che.

Don't overthink it.

She only glanced at Sang Che a few more times because he was sitting opposite her.

She didn't look at it much.

Sang Che lowered his eyes, seemingly lost in thought, and didn't even touch a single grain of rice in front of him.

Yin Huaixi had no idea how Sang Che survived in the coffin. Could it be that she would lift the coffin at mealtimes?

Oh my god, the scene is a bit too beautiful.

Noticing Yin Huaixi's furtive gaze creeping over, Sang Che reached for her chopsticks. She thought to herself, she couldn't let Yin Huaixi, an ordinary person, feel afraid.

Even if she didn't have much of an appetite, she should still eat something to cheer Yin Huaixi up.

The next moment, her fingers were enveloped by a warm palm. Yin Huaixi finally couldn't resist the surge of care in her heart, and she sat down next to Sang Che.

"Is it convenient for you to eat?"

"If it's inconvenient for you, I'll help you."

The thought of Sang Che stumbling through his instant noodles made it impossible for Yin Huaixi to ignore it.

At this moment, Yin Huaixi had already been torn between her inner thoughts countless times, wondering whether she should escape from Sang Che's dangerous womanly side.

On one hand, she thought that with her abilities, she definitely couldn't escape from Sang Che, the female ghost, for the time being. Just like a helpless cat, her fierce resistance in the early stages would only excite Sang Che, the pervert, even more.

That's asking for trouble.

She first had to pretend to be obedient and appease Sang Che to stabilize the situation. Then, she would use the huge sum of money Sang Che had given her to find a reliable master, someone whose abilities could at least rival those of Sang Che, this thousand-year-old female ghost.

If he's a scammer... well, he's just unlucky.

Yin Huaixi couldn't even imagine how miserable the fate would be for anyone who dared to provoke Sang Che.

Using a corpse as a "nest" for Gu worms is probably the simplest way to die.

This was her plan. She would first pretend to be infatuated with Sang Che and unable to control herself. She had her own rhythm, and she wouldn't fall for it again.

She wants the unconventional Sang Che!

Yin Huaixi's gentle inquiry pleased Sang Che greatly, and she nodded with a very small gesture.

Picking up her chopsticks, Yin Huaixi resigned herself to her fate.

She picked up a piece of the stewed fish from the owner's plate, placed it on her plate, and asked softly, "Would you like some fish?"

"Let me remove the fish bones for you so you don't choke."

Han Ke, who was sitting across from them and was already full from just eating dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), sighed. She had originally thought that Yin Huaixi would be the last among them to start dating.

I never expected to overtake them on a curve!

He even dated a stunningly beautiful woman!

As if she had just thought of something, Sang Che leaned close to Yin Huaixi's ear and whispered, "Huaixi, whatever you feed me, no matter what it is, I will obediently swallow it."

"Whether there are thorns or not... is not important."

Yin Huaixi: "?"

Something about that sounds weird. Could it be her imagination? No… if it's Sang Che, it can't be her imagination!

This guy is at it again!

No wonder he's the protagonist of an "unspeakable" novel!

These things must be all over your head!

Yin Huaixi blushed deeply after being told this, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

"Sang Che, if you keep doing this, you can eat by yourself. I'm not going to take care of you anymore."

Yin Huaixi felt uneasy returning the chopsticks to Sang Che, but she still had to endure hardship until she found a master who could solve Sang Che's problem.

She always manages to find a way to keep Sang Che in check!
