Pin Shanhe

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Fu finally woke up slowly.

She felt like a fish out of water, or as if she were in a furnace.

To clear her head, she pulled out the gold hairpin from her hair and slid it hard down her arm.

A piercing pain struck, and blood gushed out instantly...

She finally regained some of her senses, struggled to get up from the ground, and wanted to leave.

He hadn't taken two steps when he suddenly staggered and fell down again.

The imagined pain did not come; instead, I fell into a steady and strong embrace.

Then, a furious voice rang in my ears: "Damn it, who put that aphrodisiac on you?"

Shen Fu slowly opened her eyes, but could only see a blurry shadow.

"Xiao... Xuan Jin..."

The man paused, then let out a soft chuckle: "Didn't he go to the Northwest?"

Yup!

He went to the Northwest, and more than half a month has passed since then. How could he possibly be here?

Who is this man holding her?

Her dangerous instincts made her reach out to push away, trying to escape the embrace, but she couldn't budge it an inch.

"You're in this state, you don't actually think you have the strength to walk, do you?"

He naturally couldn't let go; instead, he held her even tighter.

Shen Fu felt the whistling wind in her ears, and her body seemed to be in the clouds.

It turned out that the man was holding her and using his light-footed skills to fly in mid-air.

"Let me go."

"Heh...Are you sure?"

He suddenly let go, and Shen Fu's body sank abruptly.

She was startled and clung tightly to the man's neck, afraid that she would fall and be smashed to pieces.

He did it on purpose!

Shen Fu was furious at the man's rudeness and reached out to punch his chest.

Unfortunately, he couldn't muster any strength at all. The punches landing on him were no different from tickling an itch; rather, they felt like a strange form of provocation.

After an unknown amount of time, they finally landed in a misty valley.

The cool mist mixed with a cold wind rushed towards her, instantly restoring some of her senses.

"Where...is this place?"

"You've been drugged with aphrodisiac, you don't think you can just let this go, do you?"

It would have been better if she hadn't said anything, because she suddenly felt that the heat she had managed to suppress was rising again.

"Let...let go..."

The man naturally didn't let go, but instead carried her towards the bamboo house not far away.

Upon reaching the door, he kicked it open.

The fragile door panel collapsed with a crash, instantly shattering into pieces.

Immediately following was a scream of agony from inside—

"Damn it! Pay up!"

The man took off the jade pendant from his waist and tossed it away casually.

The woman caught it, weighed it to check its quality and weight, and a bright smile immediately appeared in her eyes.

She was born with a delicate and charming appearance, with eyebrows like distant mountains, skin as white as snow, and a pair of watery eyes like the morning mist in the valley. When she smiled, she had a pair of shallow dimples.

The next moment, her gaze fell on the man... the woman in his arms.

As if in disbelief, she first rubbed her eyes.

I'm not seeing things! It's true!

He reached out and pinched his thigh again...

It will hurt! This isn't a dream!

He was indeed holding a woman in his arms!

The man ignored her astonishment and placed her on the wooden bed.

"Can it be saved?"

"..."

There was no response, and Yun Dai was dumbfounded.

No, he really hugged a woman?

Over all these years, he has never had any woman by his side!

Could it be a man dressed as a woman?

It wasn't until she felt the jade pendant lighten in her hand and was about to be taken away that she suddenly came to her senses and grabbed it to protect it.

"Is there any reason to take back what has been given away? How can someone who has been given away be worthy of being the head of a palace!"

"Ha... miser!"

Yun Dai pouted. "So what?"

She doesn't like money, so does she like him?

Although... I did have a slight thought before, after all, this man's appearance is absolutely stunning, anyone who sees him would be amazed!

Unfortunately, she had too many rivals and the competition was too fierce, and each of them was a ruthless character. Unless she wanted to die too long!

Besides, what man is more practical than gold and silver jewelry!

Fearing that the priceless jade pendant would be taken away, she finally acted as a doctor and came to the wooden bedside.

She recognized him at a glance.

Aphrodisiac!

This is the most exquisite fragrance in the world!

The various remedies circulating in the martial arts world, such as "He-huan San" and "Chun-qing Zui," cannot compare to this in terms of efficacy or effect.

A mere stick of incense can be worth a fortune!

And it's her exclusive original work, no deception for anyone, young or old!

"Would you like to ask the same question again?"

"...Can it be saved?"

"Are you kidding me? We're both women, how am I supposed to save us?"

Yun Dai had known him for so many years and had never seen any woman by his side.

The way he carried her in just now, the tension and worry in his eyes were genuine.

She guessed, "This girl...could she be your sweetheart?"

"Stop talking nonsense, how exactly can we save her?"

"She's been drugged with aphrodisiac, not poison. How do you think we can save her?"

Yun Dai glanced at the woman on the bed whose face was flushed, then looked at the man in front of her, her gaze carrying a clear hint of ambiguity.

Ordinary medicine is fine; just soak it in cold water and use your willpower to get through it.

But this love potion is different!

"Don't blame me for not warning you, if someone who has been poisoned by this incense doesn't have sex with a man within two hours... their blood will swell and they will die! Judging from her appearance, she only has less than a quarter of an hour left. If we don't give her the antidote soon, we should prepare for our funeral."

The man's hand clenched into a fist inside his sleeve.

Who on earth would resort to such underhanded methods to deal with her?

If he finds out, he will definitely...

"go out!"

Tsk tsk, it seems someone is preparing to use themselves as the antidote.

I wonder who this girl is, that she was able to tame this iceberg.

If word gets out about what happened today, will she be silenced?

While secretly thinking to herself, Yun Dai moved swiftly, making sure to close the door behind her before leaving.

At this moment, only the two of them remained in the room.

Shen Fu's body was burning hot, her forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and even her breathing became rapid.

The intense heat seemed to be burning her to ashes.

She could no longer bear it, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of her lips.

This indicates that the medicine's potency has reached its limit.

If we don't detoxify her soon, she will definitely die from blood swelling!

In her confused state, Shen Fu couldn't help but utter the name that was hidden deep in her heart.

"Xiao... Xiao Xuanjin..."

A cold glint flashed in the man's eyes. "He's barely managing to save himself now. Does he really think he can make it back in time to rescue you?"

Shen Fu couldn't hear what he was saying at all, but she felt a comfortable coolness from the man's body and couldn't help but want to get closer, so she reached out and hugged his neck.

"Please, save me!"

"You said it, so don't regret it!"
