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

Yin Huaixi picked up the plump, crimson love potion with her fingers, her eyes tightly closed.

All that's left is the tactile sensation.

She silently told herself, "This thing isn't scary."

If Sang Che can save her, then she can save Sang Che.

What kind of woman is she, always hiding behind Sang Che?

Moreover… what Yin Huaixi least wanted to admit was that she seemed to have begun to rely on Sang Che as well.

She made the chicken soup today, but she didn't even realize it.

It was her dereliction of duty to let Sang Che drink it.

Self-blame and guilt welled up in Yin Huaixi's heart. She never expected that she would have such feelings for Sang Che.

"Huai Xi..."

Sang Che slowly walked to Yin Huaixi's side, placed her fingers on Yin Huaixi's shoulder, and felt Yin Huaixi's body trembling. Sang Che then squatted down.

Point your finger downwards.

He put his arm around Yin Huaixi's waist.

"I know you feel guilty, but it has nothing to do with you. It's those filthy people who are disgusting."

"Huaixi, don't do this."

"This is not your fault."

Holding Yin Huaixi completely in her arms, her nose gently brushing against Yin Huaixi's cheek, Sang Che felt not only heartache but also even more resentment towards those annoying evil spirits.

When the time comes, I'll definitely have the little guy refine them all and turn them into puppets.

Yin Huaixi could clearly sense the movements of the person behind her, but she did not turn around to respond to Sang Che.

Instead, as if she had made up her mind, Yin Huaixi stuffed the bright red worm into her mouth.

strangeness.

The insect felt quite heavy, but when it touched her mouth, it seemed to blend into her saliva.

It wasn't until she felt a blockage in her throat that Yin Huaixi instinctively coughed. The itching sensation from the friction made her cough repeatedly.

She was curled up, clearly sensing something moving inside her body.

"Huaixi, you..."

Sang Che, whose senses were connected to those of the Gu worm, immediately realized that Yin Huaixi had swallowed the Gu worm.

Sang Che placed his palm on Yin Huaixi's neck, his tone anxious.

"Huaixi, it's not too late to vomit it out now."

"Don't swallow it."

"I'll let it out."

Suppressing the urge to vomit, Yin Huaixi hugged the person in front of her tightly, nestled against Sang Che's neck, and whispered, like a curled-up young animal.

"Ah Che, I'm entrusting myself to you."

Such trust, such unreserved willingness, was something Sang Che had never received before.

She was stunned for a moment.

Her voice trembled as she asked, "Huaixi, don't you know about the side effects of the love potion?"

"Aren't you afraid that you'll be bewitched by love potion and uncontrollably fall in love with me?"

This is something Huaixi has never wanted to see.

Yin Huaixi nestled in her arms, smiling faintly.

"Yes, I used to be afraid."

"I feel like I don't know what kind of person you are, and I don't know if you would use me to do bad things."

"But now I trust you, A-Che, and I can give myself to you completely."

These were the rare, honest words that Yin Huaixi spoke, and she closed her eyes.

As the agitation caused by the Gu worms gradually subsided, Yin Huaixi felt less uncomfortable.

Yin Huaixi: "Anyway... I kind of like you too."

"Ah Che, you'll be able to keep me in check."

"Is it right?"

If she really turns into a irrational... person, Yin Huaixi still hopes that Sang Che can keep her in check.

...

After placing the unconscious Yin Huaixi on the bed, Sang Che began to remove the white T-shirt that Yin Huaixi was wearing.

The trembling waist and abdomen and the gradually reddening body made Sang Che's fingertips pause.

His pitch-black vision gradually went numb and turned snow-white. In the end, Sang Che remained in this position for an unknown amount of time.

She was gradually able to make out the outlines of the people in front of her; her vision had been restored.

The love potion throbbed in her heart. Sang Che lowered her eyes and stared at Yin Huaixi's complete body, her fingers touching it.

"A-Che...A-Che..."

The person beneath her was murmuring her name. After the love potion was planted, Yin Huaixi could smell the deep, refreshing fragrance emanating from Sang Che.

want to…

Longing... emptiness...

In that instant, Yin Huaixi was filled.

She hooked her fingers around Sang Che's waist and climbed upwards, wrapping her arms around him. Caught off guard, Sang Che was suddenly pushed down by her.

She nestled into Yin Huaixi's arms.

"Huaixi, are you feeling very unwell?"

Her T-shirt was rubbed raw, revealing half of Sang Che's hip bones. She tightened her abdomen and hugged Yin Huaixi in response.

"Hmm... a little..."

Although she was in a daze, Yin Huaixi had not completely lost her mind; she just felt very safe when she touched Sang Che's aura.

"Ah Che...am I going to die?"

"Ah Che...can you touch my chest? I don't know where it went..."

Her slightly open eyes were bloodshot, and bitter tears wet her dark eyelashes. Yin Huaixi rubbed her calves against Sang Che.

She felt an emptiness in her heart, a desperate need for something to fill it and bring her peace.

Let her fall.

"Now that you're scared, why do you still eat it without hesitation?"

"Huaixi... your body is too weak, the love potion cannot be removed now."

Not just love poison, but all poisonous insects are like this, and the Miao people who use poison techniques do so in preparation for unforeseen circumstances.

If the poisonous insect is forcibly removed, both the insect and the person infected will die.

"I know... once I ingest the love potion, they can't do anything to you."

"Unless...unless they kill me, unless I..."

Before the word "death" could be uttered, Sang Che reached out and covered Yin Huaixi's thin lips. She frowned, seemingly very unhappy to hear Yin Huaixi say that.

Sang Che said sternly, "Huai Xi, stop saying such unlucky things all the time."

"You wouldn't do that."

"I won't allow you to do that either."

After being scolded by Sang Che, Yin Huaixi was stunned. This was the first time she had ever seen Sang Che angry.

Is it because she keeps using the word "death"?

But she's relentless in her pursuit of the correct answer.

Yin Huaixi loosened her grip on Sang Che, and slowly placed her palm on Sang Che's cheek. She tilted her head back and pressed her forehead against Sang Che's forehead.

"Ah Che, what if I really would..."

This time, Sang Che still didn't give Yin Huaixi a chance to say those words, and sealed Huaixi's lips with a kiss.

Fingers wander, breath in and out.

After a while.

Sang Che, his breath still hot from the heat, said earnestly to Yin Huaixi, "Huaixi, don't worry. It's my Gu. If I want to remove it, it's not difficult."

With a buzzing in her ears, Yin Huaixi couldn't hear what Sang Che was saying at all, and she became even more greedy for the kiss Sang Che gave her.

Seeing that she wasn't listening, Sang Che wanted to say something more serious, but Yin Huaixi suddenly leaned close to Sang Che and lightly pecked at the corner of her lips.

A lingering kiss in return.

Whether it was the poisonous insect she had swallowed or the lingering desire for the kiss she had just received, Yin Huaixi no longer concealed her inner turmoil.

She liked the scent emanating from Sang Che.

I love her long, silky hair, and I love... her gentle, jade-like skin.

She also liked the way Sang Che spoke to her, his gentle yet "mischievous" manner that was reserved only for her.
