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

"Yes, I am calling your name."

I'm worried about you.

"A-Che".

This time, Yin Huaixi no longer hid the emotions surging in her heart. She couldn't deceive or forget that Sang Che had been treated so meticulously by her.

Yet, he still chose to lend her a helping hand at the crucial moment, pulling her out of the clutches of the evil spirit.

Upon seeing Sang Che wearing an indigo blue dress, even her long, loose black hair was braided.

He deliberately struck poses and made sure to look his best in front of her.

Yin Huaixi knew that the arrogant Sang Che was fully aware of everything; she knew everything, but she was just giving her face and didn't expose her clumsy lies.

I didn't embarrass her.

You must bear the consequences of your mistakes.

The drowned evil spirit today is her retribution. If Sang Che hadn't been here, it probably wouldn't just be the Taoist priest and his disciple who would have suffered.

And the neighbors in the whole building.

By then, she would have truly committed an irreparable and heinous crime.

"Huaixi need not worry."

"This evil spirit is..." Sang Che stopped the car just in time.

If she made capturing this evil spirit sound so easy, Huai Xi's heartache for her would surely vanish in a few days.

He should describe his injuries as more tragic and pitiful in order to gain Huai Xi's sympathy.

Changing the subject, Sang Che's tone became serious, "Although he is a vicious and wicked man, I also know a little about the art of controlling ghosts."

"It only took some effort."

Master Lingxu, whose arm had almost been ripped off: "..."

Comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable!

"Ah Che, you look so unwell, there's no need for you to say these things to cheer me up."

Yin Huaixi sat up from the ground. Her bottom was ice cold, and the ghostly energy that had infected her body made her want to wrap herself tightly in her coat.

"Huaixi, are you...cold?"

The observant Sang Che noticed that something was wrong with Yin Huaixi, and she turned to give instructions to Daoist Lingxu.

"Taoist priest, take out your talisman."

"To warm her up and dispel the ghostly aura."

Sang Che has a way to force out the evil energy causing trouble in Yin Huaixi's body. Xiao Ya'er has some of Sang Che's precious medicinal herbs on her body, and all she needs to do is write a prescription.

Just decoct Huai Xi and take it.

But as the night deepened and all was quiet, Sang Che realized that there was no time to prepare the prescription or decoct the medicine.

Authentic Taoist yellow talismans, when lit, can dispel evil spirits without any side effects.

Upon hearing Sang Che's order, Daoist Lingxu dared not delay.

This young friend is her benefactor.

If he dies, he won't even earn his hard-earned money for this trip.

As soon as the yellow talisman was handed over, Sang Che took it first, not giving Daoist Lingxu a chance to atone for his sins.

Master Lingxu: "..."

Never mind, she should go check on his eldest disciple first. She wondered if Ling'er had been injured or bitten by that evil spirit.

...

The talisman burned before my eyes, turning into a pile of ashes.

A warm breeze enveloped him, and the ghostly energy within him was quickly expelled.

"Huaixi, are you still feeling unwell?"

"If you feel unwell, I'll get you some medicine to drink."

Sang Che's gentle touch, with his cool fingers on Yin Huaixi's forehead, was even more overwhelming for Yin Huaixi.

She really wanted to ask Sang Che if he liked her that much.

"I don't feel uncomfortable."

"Ah Che... are you alright?"

"Is there anything I can do to help you?"

The room was a complete mess.

Yin Huaixi didn't want to cause any more trouble.

She resigned herself to her fate and gave up.

Sang Che can do whatever he wants to her.

In short... there is no doubt that Sang Che had no intention of taking her life.

"Is there anything I can do to help you? Well, Huaixi, you should get some rest."

"You're so tired, and you've been disturbed by ghostly energy. It's only a matter of time before you wake up tomorrow with a headache, fever, and a cold."

She continued to take care of him with gentleness and meticulousness.

Yin Huaixi lowered her eyes. She knew that in the original story, after she consumed the love potion, she could share her senses with Sang Che, thus no longer being a blind person.

She could indeed use the love potion to restore Sang Che's clear vision.

But can she really withstand the side effects of the love potion?

Yin Huaixi wanted to ask herself why, in a moment of impulse, she swallowed Sang Che's love potion and became Sang Che's "puppet".

Loss of self-awareness.

Could it be even worse than it is now?

A sense of entanglement and confusion overwhelmed me.

Yin Huaixi was in a dilemma.

...

"Boss."

"Ah Yin's presence... is gone."

The spirit appears and disappears.

The woman, dressed entirely in a white robe, stood on the rooftop of a residential building, her voice as soft and rotten as soapy wood.

It was extremely harsh and unpleasant to hear.

"Not the best, but better than the worst, Ah Yin is just too greedy."

Another woman in red was deathly pale, but she smiled seductively. Through the dark residential buildings, her gaze finally locked onto something.

"That's interesting."

"Her life is gone... How did she manage to do that in the cycle of reincarnation..."

Having lived as a vengeful ghost and killed countless people over the years, she had already possessed a decent body.

It could barely hold her soul, and it didn't decay.

Tonight, the residential building exudes an enticing aroma of incense.

She had intended to come over slowly, to first probe the situation and see if there was any trickery involved.

Who would have thought that Ah Yin, a drowned ghost, would be like a reincarnated starving ghost, smelling the incense and not caring whether it was a trap set by a "wicked person".

He plunged in headfirst.

Now look what's happened, his soul has been scattered!

"Boss, could that person be the reincarnation of a legendary immortal?"

"The higher-ups... are protecting it."

Upon hearing this, the woman in red threw her head back and laughed, making a gurgling sound in her throat.

"Isn't that perfect?"

"Sister, do you know that no mortal on earth can increase their cultivation as quickly as an immortal who has consumed this elixir?"

"If that immortal tendon is not removed, we will share her soul, and I will use a secret technique to directly possess her body."

"Let's pull off a surprise attack."

The abacus clicked loudly.

The woman in red isn't planning to move for the next few days; her target is Sang Che.

A name that has been erased from the Book of Life and Death—that's suspicious.

Fortunately, she still had some connections in the underworld, so she could go down and investigate the truth and ask the other party what their origins were.

Will-o'-the-wisps rose in his eyes.

The red-clad ghost wanted to continue its surveillance, but the curtains of the house were suddenly drawn shut by something.

In the blurry darkness, it didn't look like a human silhouette, but rather like... a thick, long strip.

What is this thing again?!

The red-clad ghost narrowed its eyes, becoming even more cautious.

...

With its tail tip parting the curtains, Little Tooth shrank its body and nestled under the curtains in Yin Huaixi's bedroom.

It resembles a small snake.

It protects its master's safety.

I was practically coaxed into bed by half-hearted persuasion.

Yin Huaixi immediately sensed something was wrong. The yellow talisman had driven away the ghostly energy in her body, but it couldn't cure the damage caused by the ghostly energy.

Feeling dizzy, nasal congestion, and itchy throat.

The symptoms of a cold came rushing in one after another.

"Ya'er, go and prepare the medicine according to the prescription I gave you."

Sang Che wrung out a hot towel and carefully applied it to Yin Huaixi's forehead. Although she couldn't see Yin Huaixi's current condition, the Gu King on her shoulder allowed her to sense everything.

Received the master's command.

Little Tooth immediately straightened up, quickly climbed out, and gently closed the door with its tail.

The two people who were healing in the living room were stunned when they saw that the giant red snake was so intelligent.

It's practically a spirit!

He will transform into a dragon soon!

Half an hour later, Little Tooth, carrying the sandalwood red box, knocked on the door with the tip of its tail, waiting for its owner to open it.

Sang Che took the sandalwood red box that Xiao Ya'er was hanging on its tail, and then reached out to gently stroke the scales on Xiao Ya'er's head.

"Little Tooth, you've worked hard."

It received praise from its owner.

The little tooth twisted its body, sticking out its forked tongue with great joy.

The door closed again.

Little Tooth didn't leave either; it curled up and slept right by the door.

Waiting for the next call from its master.

...

"Huaixi, get up and take your medicine."

"Only by drinking the medicine can the remaining toxins in your body be eliminated."

"I will never catch a cold again."

Opening the rosewood box, Sang Che took out a jade bowl from the center and held a spoon.

She sat down on the edge of the bed, the silver bells on her body jingling.

However, Yin Huaixi's eyes were tightly closed, her body was burning hot, and she couldn't even let out a muffled groan.

Sang Che was helpless.

It seems she will have to personally "feed" Yin Huaixi this medicine.
