I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

husband?

Oh, when did Xiao Xue'er change her personality?

They've stopped calling themselves by their full names.

She even cooked herself a bowl of nourishing soup.

Anyone who didn't know better would really think that Xiao Xue'er had changed her mind and was ready to live a good life with Qin Li.

"My lord, why are you looking at me like that? It's so embarrassing."

Xiao Xue'er touched her shy face and said, "This bowl of medicine was cooked by me personally. I've lived a life of luxury since I was a child, never lifting a finger to cook. This is my first time cooking, so my husband must finish it all, not a drop left!"

After saying that, Xiao Xue'er was about to pick up the soup spoon and force-feed Qin Li a spoonful.

She couldn't wait to see Qin Li die from the poison, bleeding from all seven orifices!

During the time Qin Li was away, she had confirmed things through various means.

She was abandoned by her father, Xiao Yuanlu; she was no longer the daughter he cherished.

She became a victim. No matter how Qin Li treated her, Xiao Yuanlu wouldn't say a word, even though she had lost the most precious thing a woman could have.

She hates!

She hated Qin Li for ruthlessly taking away what was most precious to her.

As a result, she still walks very awkwardly and with a dull ache.

She was determined to kill Qin Li and avenge herself!

Then they'll fly far away and start a new life.

"No rush to drink."

Qin Li raised his hand to block it and scratched his brow.

"Husband, you just called me husband, didn't you? That was nice, that sounded really good. Call me that a few more times."

Qin Li deliberately teased Xiao Xue'er by tilting his ear to the side.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xue'er gritted her teeth in anger, looking at Qin Li in front of her, wishing she could pinch his nose and force a whole bowl of poison into his mouth.

But she knew she couldn't do it on her own; she was powerless, while Qin Li was already a late-stage fourth-rank martial artist who could easily subdue her with one hand.

The only option now is to go along with Qin Li and coax him into drinking the poison.

After a moment's hesitation, Xiao Xue'er parted her red lips slightly and said, "Husband~"

"Mmm, that sounds nice, that's how you'll be called from now on."

"By the way, Xue'er, why are your legs trembling?"

Xiao Xue'er was stunned, her eyes widened, and she almost lost her composure.

Why are her legs trembling?

Others might not know, but how could Qin Li not know?

If Qin Li hadn't been so inconsiderate, would her legs still be trembling and she almost unable to walk?

That damned Qin Li!

Even after Qin Li dies from the poison, it won't be over. She'll chop him into eighteen pieces with a knife to vent her hatred.

Forcing down her anger, Xiao Xue'er maintained her smile. "Husband, don't ask so many questions. Hurry up and drink the Dragon Essence and Tiger Fierce Soup. It will get cold soon, and it won't taste good when it's cold."

"Dragon Essence and Tiger Fierce Soup? What's the point of drinking this kind of medicinal soup? Could it be that Xue'er has developed a taste for it and wants more..."

As they were talking, Qin Li reached out and wrapped his arm around Xiao Xue'er's waist.

Although Xiao Xue'er isn't very bright and is a bit dim-witted, her figure is undeniably stunning.

She's slim where she should be slim, curvy where she should be curvy, and has not an ounce of excess fat on her body.

With the beauty in his arms, Qin Li's long-dormant passion surged again, becoming difficult to suppress.

"what!"

Xiao Xue'er was startled when Qin Li suddenly hugged her.

Just as she was about to express her disgust and resistance, she suddenly remembered something and instinctively pressed herself against Qin Li's chest:

"My husband is so clever!"

"Husband, please drink the medicine quickly."

"Xue'er can't wait any longer for that soul-stirring pleasure."

Qin Li nodded, holding Xiao Xue'er even tighter in his arms. "If you hadn't said these words, tonight would have been your death night. Poisoning your husband, you wouldn't have enough heads to chop off even if you had ten. But since you've said it, this prince will spare your life for now."

"Um?"

Xiao Xue'er suddenly looked up and stammered, "What did you say, husband? I don't understand. You're joking..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Xue'er's eyes began to dart away.

Qin Li reached out and lifted her chin, making her look at him: "It's okay if you don't understand, your husband will explain it even more clearly."

"You, Xiao Xue'er, are trying to poison your husband!"

Qin Li spoke each word clearly.

"I...I didn't."

Xiao Xue'er vehemently denied it and tried to escape Qin Li's embrace, but found that Qin Li was incredibly strong, and no matter how she struggled, it was to no avail.

"No?" Qin Li squinted, staring at Xiao Xue'er's flawless face. "I don't know if you're really stupid or pretending. This bowl of soup, thick like sesame paste and still bubbling with green bubbles, you're telling me it's some kind of nourishing tonic?"

"Even someone as stupid as a pig wouldn't drink it, do you think your husband would?"

"Why don't you take a sip first?"

As he spoke, Qin Li snatched the poison from Xiao Xue'er's hand with one hand and pinched her cheek with the other, about to pour it into her mouth.

Xiao Xue'er was terrified. She waved her hand and knocked the poison to the ground. Her cheeks were also pinched painfully by Qin Li, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Qin Li had no habit of showing mercy to women. He reached out and grabbed her chin. "Now you're scared? Too late!"

"Aren't you already impatient for that soul-stirring pleasure again?"

"Alright, my husband, I'll grant your wish!"

After saying that, Qin Li picked up Xiao Xue'er and went into the room.

A moment later, the room was filled with spring-like warmth, and the thick bed creaked incessantly.

……

One hour later.

Qin Li lay on the bed, panting heavily. Inside the bed, Xiao Xue'er's delicate body was covered with glistening beads of sweat, it was hard to tell whether they were her own or Qin Li's.

Beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks and into his fair, unfathomable chest.

Qin Li took a deep breath and glanced sideways, saying, "Hmph, you say no but your body says yes. I didn't realize Xue'er knew so many tricks."

Hearing these words, Xiao Xue'er blushed crimson and felt so ashamed and angry that she wanted to bang her head against the wall.

Seeing that Xiao Xue'er remained silent, Qin Li continued, "Why aren't you saying anything? Aren't you satisfied yet? How about we do it again?"

Xiao Xue'er was shocked and quickly waved her hands, pleading, "No, if this continues, I'm afraid I'll die in bed! Please, no, please, my husband, have mercy!"

Qin Li looked at Xiao Xue'er, who was now incredibly well-behaved, with a smile.

If Xiao Xue'er could always be this well-behaved, how wonderful that would be, but unfortunately she won't...

With a sigh, Qin Li said, "Then I, your husband, will take pity on you and spare you this time. I hope you remember tonight. If you want to kill me, Xiao Xue'er, you're still too green!"

Xiao Xue'er gave a wry smile, "Yes, I'll remember."

Qin Li nodded and beckoned, "Alright, come over and give me a shoulder massage, I was almost exhausted just now."

Xiao Xue'er hesitated and did not step forward immediately.

But when Qin Li glared at her, she scrambled forward and reached out her little hands to massage Qin Li's shoulders.

Check it out!

Qin Li was right about something he said earlier.

Women like Xiao Xue'er need to be taught a lesson.

If one meal doesn't work, try two; she'll eventually behave.

While enjoying the massage with his eyes closed, Qin Li asked, "The military funds for this expedition are tight, and I don't want your father to pay for it. Do you have any good ideas?"

Originally, I didn't have much hope, but Xiao Xue'er said, "It's not a good idea. If you really can't raise the military funds, you can take some men to Jiuyi Mountain outside the city and try."

"Jiuyi Mountain?"

"Yes," Xiao Xue'er explained, "Legend has it that Mount Jiuyi is the burial place of the ancient Emperor Shun, as well as an ancient battlefield, with countless secrets. However, these are all legends and cannot be taken as fact. But one thing is true: the dragon vein of the previous dynasty is buried in Mount Jiuyi."
