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

sleepless nights.

Master Lingxu clutched his shoulder; his lips were pale, and he was nearly exhausted.

"Master, if all else fails, shall we return to the temple and ask our fellow Daoists for help?"

Xu Ling was also seriously injured last night; her eyes were bruised. She tried to persuade her master not to continue.

"Very well, Ling'er."

"Now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to return home in a sorry state."

Being less skilled than others, one is devoured by evil spirits.

There's nothing to complain about.

"Wait a minute."

"I can cure your illnesses."

Just as the two were about to get up in a flustered manner, Sang Che opened the bedroom door. She was still wearing the indigo blue dress from last night, with silver butterflies fluttering around the hem, making her look stunningly beautiful.

Sang Che seemed completely unconcerned about the fact that Daoist Lingxu had tried to ambush her last night.

She toyed with her long, thin braid, a smile playing on her lips, exuding charm.

"However, I don't have enough medicinal herbs on hand yet, so you'll probably have to wait a day."

"If you don't want to wait, you can go back now."

She sensed that Yin Huaixi was no longer rejecting her and was no longer deliberately distancing himself from her.

Sang Che was overjoyed and decided to "conquer the world".

She now greets everyone with a smile, including the Taoist priest Lingxu who offended her last night.

"You...you really want to save us?"

Xu Ling's expression was full of vigilance. She was afraid that there was a trap involved, and that this sinister woman in front of her would ruthlessly take her and her master's lives.

Sang Che: "If you don't believe me, you can leave now. I have no interest in lying to you."

"I only saved you because of Huaixi."

Teasing the awakened and lively Gu King with his fingertips, Sang Che thought to himself that once this guy woke up, he would have to take Chi You's divine blood.

This is really a headache.

Master Lingxi had already witnessed Sang Che's extraordinary abilities last night, and he reached out to stop his eldest disciple.

Master Lingxu: "Your ability to control a serpent that is about to transform into a dragon suggests you are no ordinary person."

"Last night, we were blind to your greatness and made a grave mistake, offending you."

"I hope Your Excellency will be magnanimous and forgive past grievances."

Able to bend and stretch.

That is the way of being a person.

Moreover, the capable woman in front of them had indeed saved them from dire straits.

This is the truth.

Sang Che: "No need for thanks. If it weren't for Huai Xi, I wouldn't have saved you."

Master Lingxu: "..."

Seeing his silence, Sang Che spoke again: "You'd better put away that spirit of your artifact, otherwise, you'll attract all the vengeful ghosts and evil spirits in the entire city."

Upon hearing Sang Che's kind reminder, Master Lingxu frowned and turned to look at the shrine placed in the corner of the living room.

The man, who was over fifty, was so frightened that he stammered.

"Your Excellency... are you referring to a spirit residing in the shrine?"

Sang Che: "That's right."

"Your incense and the shrine you brought are, in the eyes of wandering ghosts, a genuine path to godhood."

"The shrine doesn't house a god, but a spirit of an artifact."

Master Lingxu suddenly realized.

Now he finally understood why setting a trap would attract the wandering ghost from last night.

Xu Ling sensed something was wrong, and she immediately made a hand seal, her brows furrowing more and more tightly.

"Master, I cannot divine the answer."

"Could you give it a try?"

Immediately realizing his mistake, Master Lingxu sat cross-legged and began divination, his expression growing increasingly grim.

Sang Che knew what was on their minds.

"There's no need to claim it. A single ghost can't make a forest. She's lived for over a thousand years; she must have some tricks up her sleeve."

"Both of you are severely weakened; you can simply stay indoors when the time comes."

"I'll go forward and deal with it."

Such arrogant words again. Xu Ling shook her head. Instead, she said sincerely, "Miss, although my master and I do not know your background, it was indeed you who saved us last night."

"You are strange, but you are not a vengeful ghost."

"How can we trouble you any further? We should also do our part."

The Han people have a knack for making excuses.

Sang Che was truly unable to defend himself.

Sang Che: "Whatever."

She didn't have any feelings for the two of them to begin with, and she only helped them out of convenience to avoid hurting Huaixi.

...

One night passed.

Yin Huaixi felt like her body was falling apart. She struggled to get up and was about to look for her slippers.

She turned her head and saw Sang Che sleeping right next to her.

Perhaps because she was too tired last night and had been busy with her affairs, Sang Che closed her eyes and slept soundly, leaning back in the chair without finding it uncomfortable.

With her hands braced on the edge of the bed, Yin Huaixi moved closer to Sang Che, staring at his delicate eyebrows and beautiful thin lips.

A thought inexplicably arose in her mind: since Sang Che was someone she couldn't get rid of, why not keep her here?

Thinking about it, there really is no reason to refuse.

He could save her in a dangerous situation.

And they have money.

He was devoted to her and very loyal.

However, his karma of killing was too heavy. Whenever he was unhappy, Sang Che would want to turn the other person into fish balls or chop them into minced meat to feed to the Gu worms.

Sleeping in a chair is very uncomfortable. Considering that Sang Che saved her, let's carry her to the bed first.

Take a short break.

Yin Huaixi immediately took action, wrapping her arms around Sang Che's back and lifting him up.

Lighter than I imagined, Sang Che really isn't heavy.

Just as Yin Huaixi was about to move, Sang Che opened his eyes and woke up.

She immediately pinned Yin Huaixi to the bed, looking down at her.

"Huaixi, you always care about me secretly like this, why... don't you say it to my face?"

Unable to resist any longer, Sang Che pressed his nose against Yin Huaixi's soft chest. She gently rubbed against it, feeling the softness on her cheek, and was very happy that Yin Huaixi treated her like this.

Her voice was muffled: "You saved me last night, it's my duty to care about you, but I don't see it that way."

"Huaixi, if you really want to repay me, then kiss me."

Give me something concrete.

After uttering these outrageous words, Yin Huaixi swallowed back the words of refusal that were on the tip of her tongue.

Yes.

She was destined to never escape from Sang Che's presence in her life; sooner or later, she would have to adapt to his presence.

It should be a habit for her to appease such a shameless person like Sang Che.

"A kiss?"

The shame of being forced to take the medicine yesterday hadn't faded yet, and the thought of the bitter taste in her mouth made Yin Huaixi feel helpless.

"Yeah, just one kiss."

Yin Huaixi: "Then let me brush my teeth first."

Otherwise, with the strong taste of Chinese medicine still lingering in her breath from yesterday, kissing her would make both of them feel nauseous.

Sang Che had only meant to tease Yin Huaixi, but she was stunned when she heard Yin Huaixi actually agree.

"What are you doing? Ah Che, I already said I need to brush my teeth before you can kiss me, and you still won't let me go?"

"You don't want to kiss me anymore?"

Yin Huaixi realized that Sang Che was someone you had to tell the truth to, otherwise she would pretend to be ignorant and act like a good actress.

"No, I'm just surprised... Huaixi, you would grant me such an unreasonable request."

Sang Che knew perfectly well that she was making unreasonable requests every time!

"Don't say such... embarrassing things, get up."

"I really need to brush my teeth."

"I don't have time to mess around with you."

This time, Sang Che obediently got up. As soon as Yin Huaixi put on her slippers and stood up, Sang Che unexpectedly moved closer to her.

A gentle kiss landed on Yin Huaixi's cheek, and Sang Che smiled as he said, "Good morning, my wife."

His eyes were glazed over.

My heart skipped a beat at this moment.

Having been kissed, Yin Huaixi was as stiff as a shrimp. She froze at first, then fled from Sang Che's side at lightning speed.

With a "bang," he slammed himself into the bathroom and braced his hands on the sink.

Yin Huaixi was annoyed; why was her face flushing and her heart racing again?

You're so useless!
