After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

"He's just a Nascent Soul Realm demonic cultivator; he can't do anything to me."

Qin Suhuai had only circled halfway when she felt a sword intent imbued with the aura of Shi Yan suddenly surge towards her along the thin red line.

Qin Suhuai was no match for this.

She was already on the verge of collapse, not to mention that this sword intent also carried the seductive charm that Shi Yan had intentionally created.

"Eek..." He could only suppress it, pressing his tongue against his lips and teeth without making a sound.

However, Qin Suhuai had already completely let go of his hand, and he stumbled, only to be caught by Ming Zhongqing. "..."

"Sister Shiyan?" A soft, delicate voice I'd never heard before.

“You don’t need to transfer the burden onto yourself.” Shi Yan looked at the thin red thread.

With Qin Suhuai no longer involved, the thin red thread quickly wrapped around her wrist, the other end of which remained tied to Shiya's heart, as if connected to another place.

At this point, the silk threads had completely transformed into a faint, luminous quality.

Qin Suhuai knew that it was too late to try to transfer the blame at this point.

"The name of the Gu is 'Love Gu: Heartstrings'," Shi Yan calmly shared the information with Qin Suhuai.

She wasn't flustered.

Pulling open his sleeve, he could see a thin red line drawn on his skin, heading towards his heart.

The worst outcome would be that he commits suicide once, only to be reborn from the ashes.

However, Shi Yan believed that there must be another way out.

Qin Suhuai frowned slightly as she searched her memory.

"Love Poison, Heart-Tying Threads...?"

“This Gu is a type of flower Gu.” Qin Suhuai’s expression gradually became certain.

"The thread of the heart will eventually draw a red spider lily on your heart. When the flower blooms, it will be the day you fall head over heels in love with the other person."

The teacher frowned and pondered.

Unbeknownst to her, Shiya, whom she had subdued, was frowning more and more deeply, her face growing paler, and beads of cold sweat were constantly seeping from her forehead and back.

"I've never even seen that witch, so how could I fall in love with her?" Shi Yan pondered the other party's true identity.

Her first thought was to write about people she heard about—

But... this time it might not be.

The love potion takes a very long time to make, so that person must have planned this all along.

Moreover... judging from the information from the Starry Sky Division.

That witch came to Yizhou from Youzhou by picking flowers, and along the way she had already ruined many innocent women, which doesn't match the timeline of Wenren Ershu's account.

Although Wenren Ershu was obsessed with writing, given her personality...

Apart from herself, no one else could possibly catch her eye.

This witch, however, seems to accept all comers.

"You will see her." Qin Suhuai looked at Shi Yan with a complicated expression, "In illusions, in dreams..."

You will see her eventually.

"The love potion has been planted; no matter what, her image will slowly appear before your eyes."

Shi Yan seemed to have thought of something, "In other words..."

"This thread of fate, with Aunt Ya Ya's life's blood as the medium, connects me and that witch?"

Qin Suhuai nodded.

"So... I can actually find the witch's location through this Heart-Tying Thread?" A glimmer of light appeared in Shi Yan's mind.

“Theoretically speaking, that is indeed the case.” Qin Suhuai’s smile was bitter.

"but..."

"I've never seen anything like this before."

She never expected... to actually see something like "love potion" in Nanjun City.

I can't believe I failed to protect my sister Shiyan, and things went wrong here.

Qin Suhuai, who was already feeling extremely guilty, was now even more ashamed and felt utterly humiliated.

The "Love Gu" poison is made with the full effort of a demonic cultivator, and the price paid is unimaginable to ordinary people.

A person can only plant one "love potion" in their lifetime.

This thing is almost unsolvable.

For two people who are already in love, the "love curse" may be beneficial rather than harmful to the person under its influence.

but--

If it's like Shi Yan, then it's very painful.

Qin Suhuai couldn't understand it.

A witch, that's a witch.

Why would she travel all the way to Yizhou just to plant a love potion in Shi Yan?

"If we find out where that witch is, then we'll have a way to break the 'Love Curse,' right?" The red threads had gradually faded, leaving only a thin circle around Shi Ya's heart and another around Shi Yan's hand.

At this moment, Shi Yan also noticed Aunt Ya Ya's unusual behavior.

The woman's pale and haggard appearance was terrifying; behind her smooth, snow-white shoulders... the bedding was soaked with sweat.

"Aunt Ya Ya?"

A wisp of spiritual energy was channeled into Shi Ya's body by Shi Yan, and she examined the abnormality.

"Mmm...ah..." came a voice that was almost seductive.

Shiya's condition recovered at a visible speed, and an alluring pale pink blush quickly rose on her pale face.

The teacher said he had found out—

Shiya was the one who paid the price.

She endured excruciating pain, but... she kept it to herself.

The way to alleviate that pain is also very simple.

Love Poison Love Poison.

What other options are there?

"You... go out for a bit..." Shi Yan raised her head and looked around. Qin Suhuai, Ming Zhongqing, and the other women seemed to understand what Shi Yan meant.

Shi Yan looked at the woman in front of him, who appeared frail and haggard.

This was the first time I'd ever felt so apologetic. "Aunt Ya Ya..."

"I'm sorry..."

In an instant, Shi Yan pushed the "Snow Cold Skill" to its limit. 【→→→】

As a sacrificial offering, Shiya could only endure the torment of the Gu poison binding her heart.

Master Yan resolved Shi Ya's heart-wrenching pain in the fastest and most convenient way.

She held the woman's limp, listless body in her arms and whispered an apology in the woman's ear.

Shi Ya's chin rested on Shi Yan's shoulder, her eyes, glazed over by the excruciating pain and confusion, barely able to focus. "Ha..."

She doesn't understand.

What's wrong with me?

It's clearly Ayan...

He was just infusing himself with spiritual energy to alleviate the poison, so why did he end up in this state?

Shiya... is ultimately still a bit too 'young'.

They don't understand at all the wickedness of people's hearts as described by their teachers.

"Aunt Ya Ya..." Shi Yan carefully changed the sheets and blankets again, and made a hand seal with his right hand, "The water of the great river comes from the sky".

"Ha..." Shiya could only tremble slightly, her light ink-black eyes slowly closing.

Master Yan did his best to gently put the woman down.

She looked at Shiya with pity, but cold sweat was still pouring down the woman's pale face.

Shi Yan knelt on the edge of the bed and gently took the woman's hand.

The spiritual energy of "Snow Cold Technique" was soothing to the extreme, slowly conditioning the woman's body.

Beneath his palm, the woman's soft little hand was tinged with a faint crimson. She turned her head away, not daring to look at Shi Yan, her left hand tightly covering her mouth, her eyes wet with tears.

"It's alright," Shi Yan reassured Shi Ya.

"He's just a demonic cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage."

Shi Yan pulled a roll of silk from his storage ring and wiped the cold sweat from Shi Ya's forehead and body.

"What she did to Aunt Ya Ya..."

“I will make her pay the price.”

Only then did Shiya turn her head to look at Shiyan.

The girl kneeling on the edge of her bed was gentle; the sunlight shone on her, illuminating only her profile.

She had a very beautiful face, and her long, dark hair was delicately braided into a bun on one side.

Perhaps the person who braided her hair was clumsy, or perhaps... simply lacked the strength, so the series of delicate hair buns looked slightly crooked, but you could still see the girl's dedication.

Little by little, the girl's appearance overlapped with that of the elegant young master from the Shi family.
