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

The moonlight, hazy and dim, spilled onto the windowsill.

Yin Huaixi wrapped her arms around Sang Che's slender waist and couldn't help but reciprocate.

She let out a soft moan, her hair was soaked, and her chest trembled. Yin Huaixi could still feel the Gu worms moving around inside her body.

"Ah Che..."

"Ah Che... Che..."

Calling Sang Che's name again and again, Yin Huaixi couldn't help but bite Sang Che's earlobe to vent her frustration.

The force varied in depth.

The fair earlobes, now tinged with pink, were instantly bitten, leaving dents.

The pain was palpable, and Sang Che endured all the sensations Yin Huaixi brought her.

The love potion is throbbing.

The blood of Chi You within Sang Che was no longer suppressed by the cold poison, and she could feel the immense power gradually flowing back into her body.

"Huaixi, I'm here."

"Just tell me what you want, and I'll give it to you."

Seeing her in such pain, Sang Che felt a pang of heartache. She gently stroked Yin Huaixi's face with her fingers, not even daring to press her kiss too hard.

I was just worried that Yin Huaixi would be in too much pain.

When a venomous insect enters the body, the body will reject it and feel uncomfortable.

This is a very normal phenomenon.

Sang Che had used countless drug users before, and their expressions were always the same; Sang Che always watched with indifference.

Ah Shui would often accompany her, taking notes with a brush. She would even joke with Sang Che about which type of person was more suitable for raising Gu worms.

According to the regulations in Miao areas and villages, anyone who trespasses into forbidden areas will be taken away and used as a medicine person.

As a saintess, Sang Che had no objection to this rule set by the gods.

She was often an executor who observed from the sidelines, and Sang Che didn't care how the world judged her.

That naivety and romance vanished long ago, crushed by the palace eunuchs along with her little snake.

no longer exists.

Sang Che was cold-hearted and indifferent; she never imagined that she would have such feelings because someone had planted a Gu poison in her.

"I...I'm not in pain..."

"I'm fine..."

She took the love potion willingly, so how could Yin Huaixi regret it?

"Ah Che, now that you can see, you have to... protect me well."

Reaching out her hand, Yin Huaixi was still savoring Sang Che's closeness, craving the warmth emanating from him.

She stared at Sang Che's face, then slowly pressed her forehead against his, mimicking the way he usually rubbed against her.

How could they not be afraid of death?

Yin Huaixi was terrified.

Although she always appears cheerful and carefree, that's just a facade.

Not wanting anyone to know what she's thinking, Yin Huaixi always says the opposite of what she means.

She wanted to live a good life and also wanted to protect Sang Che.

Yin Huaixi knew that Sang Che was very powerful, but her body was also riddled with holes.

Sang Che's cold illness relapsed without her saying a word. If Yin Huaixi hadn't touched her and found her body ice-cold a few times, she wouldn't have known that Sang Che was having an attack.

"Huaixi, you don't need to tell me."

"I will... protect you well."

"I will definitely protect you."

Sang Che had heard Yin Huaixi's plea before.

Beside the murmuring river of Fengming Mountain, when Yin Huaixi collapsed into her arms with only one breath left, blood continuously flowing from the corner of her mouth stained Sang Che's chest.

At that moment, she smiled almost vengefully at Sang Che and said, "Holy Maiden...did you see that?"

"You are a... utterly incompetent person, you can't save me."

"No matter what you do... you can't save me."

Sang Che went crazy trying to feed Yin Huaixi medicine into her mouth, but no matter how much he put in, the already lifeless Yin Huaixi vomited it all back to Sang Che.

The thought of losing Yin Huaixi and waiting for a thousand years to start anew is unbearable.

Sang Che couldn't bear to lose Yin Huaixi again.

"Huaixi, it won't happen again."

"I'm going to turn all those guys who bullied you into puppets."

"None of them will escape, not one of them can escape."

With a cold tone, Sang Che gently wiped the cold sweat from Yin Huaixi's forehead with her sleeve, then leaned down to peck at her with a kiss to soothe her emotions.

"I will make them all pay the price for what they did today."

"Otherwise, I swear I will not give up."

...

Night falls.

The wind blows.

The wind creaked and groaned through the old windows. Sang Che reached out and covered Yin Huaixi's ears, finally managing to coax her to sleep.

If she were to be woken up by these ghosts again, she would really want to refine all the ghosts in the entire city.

They really don't know how to be polite; they're really pushing their luck.

"Little Tooth, you stay here and guard this place."

The crimson snake, having received its master's command, slithered onto the bed. Its massive body coiled around Yin Huaixi, who was small, and tightened its grip, its tiny fangs gently pressing against her head.

It flicked its tongue, responding to its owner.

"Just like that, be a good girl."

"Don't let anything succeed."

Sang Che reached out and stroked the scales on Xiao Ya'er's head, giving him careful instructions.

Then, Sang Che applied a dab of medicine to Yin Huaixi's forehead.

She then got out of bed, staring at the dark window, feeling the menacing ghostly aura rushing towards her.

Pushing open the bedroom door, Master Lingxu was already there, holding a copper coin magic sword, the bells hanging at his waist ringing incessantly.

"Your Excellency, you've arrived."

"I've temporarily trapped these demons and monsters outside the door; they can't break through the window yet."

Master Lingxu finished speaking.

A large, jet-black hand materialized directly from the window, even though it was burned by the red light emanating from the array on the ground.

It also showed no intention of backing down.

"Cough cough cough..."

Forcibly breaking into the formation, Master Lingxu immediately spat out blood, and his magic sword fell from his hand. Fortunately, he reacted in time and used the sword to stab the ground.

"Your Excellency...be careful..."

"The opponent's cultivation level is not low... they are a powerful demon..."

It can be said that Master Lingxi has been catching ghosts all his life, but he has never seen a ghost that has lived for so long and whose ghostly aura is so domineering.

"I know."

With his eyesight fully restored, the Gu King opened his palm, ready to strike.

With his finger pointing at the Gu King's back, Sang Che began to chant incantations.

She spoke in Miao language, which Master Lingxu and Xu Ling couldn't understand at all; they found it very difficult to pronounce.

But for some reason, it felt sacred.

"I swear on my life to awaken the ancient divine offspring; the mountains, the sky, and the earth grant me power."

"I stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods, I walk with the gods..."

As Sang Che recited the words one by one, the Gu worms changed, a sudden gust of wind arose, and Sang Che's white outer robe was blown about by the wind.

She opened her eyes, and the enormous creature that was previously indistinct outside the window gradually became visible in Sang Che's eyes.

It becomes clear.

"How did you manage to do that...? Even the spirit-scattering powder from the underworld... couldn't destroy your soul and spirit completely..."

"What exactly are you?!"

Like the sound of fingers scratching at dry wood, it clearly reached everyone's ears through the trembling window.

Upon hearing this, Sang Che's anger grew even stronger. She raised her fingertips, and the Gu King hovering on her fingertips took flight.

Her thin braid was blown by the cold wind, and Sang Che's eyes were full of gloom. She looked up for a moment.

The Gu King was enveloped in a layer of shimmering light, illuminating the living room where the power had been cut off.

"Immortal... ethereal..."

"This thing is... from the sky..."

Master Lingxu was so shocked that she couldn't speak. She had known that this Gu worm was of unusual origin, but she never expected that it would contain such pure immortal energy.

Isn't this something only powerful beings who have ascended to the upper realms can possess?

This woman is indeed extraordinary!
