In

September, on a small island no more than two miles in circumference in the Jiaye River of Nanfo, far from any village or shop, a desolate place

, Li Yue frowned and sighed her 108th time that day.

Nanfo was a land of developed water transport, with rivers and lakes crisscrossing the entire country like a spiderweb, resulting in a large number of people who made their living from water.

The Canal Gang, the largest gang in Nanfo, controlled nearly 60% of the country's water transport, while the imperial and private transport industries accounted for only 40%. Its leader, Su Tingsong, was neither from royalty nor a noble family. How could he dominate Nanfo? Because he had the backing of the Tiansheng Palace.

The Tiansheng Palace, located in the south of Nanfo, was home to the Yun clan, whose members had once held sway over the royal families of three kingdoms a century ago; almost all the imperial tutors of those three kingdoms came from the Yun clan.

However, in recent years, with the gradual increase in the power of the royal families of the Three Kingdoms, the status of the Yun clan has declined significantly. They have gradually transformed into a powerful noble family outside the Three Kingdoms, no longer wielding much influence over Dongyi and Xiwu. But in Nanfo, their position remains irreplaceable.

It is said that every ruler of Nanfo had to obtain the consent of the Tian Sheng Palace Master before deposing or installing a crown prince.

A month ago, Li Yue, having just entered Nanfo, heard that the leader of the Canal Gang was about to hold his fiftieth birthday banquet. Having nowhere else to go and enjoying lively occasions, she naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity.

Hearing that it would only take a little over half a month to reach Tianyi Island, where the Canal Gang was located, by water, while it would take a month and a half by land, Li Yue unhesitatingly chose the water route.

But then, another problem arose: no one could ferry her to Tianyi Island.

The government and common people's boats dared not go, and the Canal Gang's boats had already all gathered around Tianyi Island to celebrate the birthday.

Helpless, Li Yue had to find out the directions, acquire a boat, and drift alone on the Jiaye River.

After drifting for over half a month, she hadn't even seen a glimpse of Tianyi Island, but she did see this small water village. Given Tanlang's unhealed injuries, she had no choice but to abandon the boat and go ashore. After beating the four men in the village four times, she finally forced them to become her servants.

And now, almost another half month has passed…

Liyue looked down at Tanlang, who lay slumped in her arms like a dead dog. Her legs were numb from being pressed down…

“Tanlang, it’s been over a month since you were injured, and you still can’t even get out of bed. Isn’t that a bit much?” she asked, stroking its smooth, yellow fur.

Tanlang squinted, gave a weak groan, and rubbed its fluffy head against her chest, looking utterly pathetic.

Liyue’s eyes darted around, and she continued, “Sigh, poor thing. I was thinking of finding some pretty female dogs for you to enjoy, but seeing you like this, I decided against it…” Before she could finish speaking, her legs suddenly felt lighter.

Looking up, they saw Tanlang running around in circles in the yard in front of the house, occasionally leaping high, full of energy and boundless vitality.

After showing off its abundant energy to Liyue, it came up to her, raised its head, and looked at her with burning, expectant eyes, its long tail wagging like a flower behind its rear.

Unexpectedly, what it got in return was a powerful flick on the forehead from Liyue!

"Ouch!" It immediately jumped up in pain.

Liyue also jumped up, pointing at it and cursing, "You damn pretentious beast! Because of you, I've been stuck here eating fish for half a month, steamed, braised, vinegared, boiled... Do you even know I never want to see fish again in my life? Damn it, I'll teach you to be pretentious, I'll castrate you today or I'm not a Qin!"

Upon hearing this, Tanlang's yellow fur bristled like a hedgehog, and it turned and ran away.

Li Yue relentlessly pursued him, running ten laps around the island. Seeing that Li Yue still wouldn't give up, Tan Lang had no choice but to close his eyes and jump into the water.

Li Yue, hands on her hips, stood by the water's edge cursing, when she caught a glimpse of a shadowy figure in the distance. Turning her gaze, she saw it was one of the four men.

Meeting Li Yue's gaze, the man flinched, then shuffled over, whispering, "Boss, we're out of rice at home. I want to go to town to buy some, it's about a day's waterway from here..."

Li Yue frowned, then kicked the man's backside, splitting it in eight pieces, and yelled, "You knew there was a town nearby and didn't say so earlier! Eating fish every day, my mouth is so bland, you know? Go now, and bring me back a map while you're at it."

The man got up, agreed, and ran off in a flash.

*

Night, a cool breeze blew across the river.

Li Yue lay in bed, the wind blowing in from the window, ruffling the sheer curtains on the bedside table.

While fast asleep, a slight noise startled her awake, causing her to furrow her brow. Without opening her eyes

, she listened intently to the sounds outside. Tanlang rushed in, humming softly by her bedside. His voice wasn't anxious, but rather joyful.

Liyue was quite surprised and sat up, about to go out and see what was happening, when she heard a woman's loud voice outside: "Liyue, you rascal, get out here now! Do you want me to drag you out of the room?"

Liyue was startled. This… wasn't that Fu Hongsha's voice?

Running to the door, by the light of a dozen torches, she indeed saw Fu Hongsha standing not far away, a large ship moored behind her. She was still wearing a red dress, her long hair tied up high, exuding a fiery passion mixed with a touch of bold and decisive heroism.

The four men she had enslaved for over half a month now stood proudly behind Fu Hongsha, looking smug as if they had finally found a powerful backer.

Amidst her excitement, Li Yue was also a little puzzled. She couldn't help but walk up to Fu Hongsha and ask, "Sister A-Sha, what's going on?"

Fu Hongsha, who had been looking at her with a stern face, couldn't help but laugh. She reached out and ruffled Li Yue's hair, saying, "You rascal, you really don't know your place! It's one thing to bully men and women elsewhere, but to bully the Canal Gang like this! I just happened to witness it. If it were anyone else, you'd be in for a fierce battle."

Hearing this, Li Yue glanced at the man who had said he was going to buy rice during the day and realized that these guys had not only concealed their identities from her but had also secretly gone to complain.

He immediately stomped on the man and twisted him a few times, then, amidst the man's groans, sneered at Fu Hongsha, "How could I have imagined that the renowned Canal Gang would have such a piece of trash?"

Seeing her unrepentant expression, Fu Hongsha smiled helplessly and pulled her aside, saying, "Alright, stop throwing your tantrum here, come with me."

Inside the cabin, Li Yue and Fu Hongsha chatted for a long time before Li Yue learned that Fu Hongsha had recently returned to Zhu Wumen when she heard that Xumi had appeared in Nanfo. She immediately tracked him down, but unintentionally got into a conflict with members of the Canal Gang, which was witnessed by the gang's third leader. He greatly admired Fu Hongsha's strong and capable nature and persuaded her to join the Canal Gang.

Upon hearing the story of the Third Leader of the Canal Gang's admiration for her, Li Yue was about to gossip when Fu Hongsha suddenly asked, "Did you and Young Master Qu have a fight?"

Li Yue blinked and asked, "How did you know?"

"He's a close friend of the Canal Gang's young master. I happened to see him on the island a little over a month ago and asked him about you. He seemed unhappy and only said that you were living a carefree life at Zhu Wu Gate," Fu Hongsha said.

Carefree? Qu Liushang... he really knows how to choose words!

Li Yue chuckled and said, "Actually... it was just a misunderstanding. That kid is too stingy; he ran away without a word. By the way, is he still on the island?"

Fu Hongsha shook her head and said, "The young master accompanied him off the island for a month ago to relax, but the gang leader's fiftieth birthday is coming up soon, so they should be back soon. Perhaps you can see them if you go. Since it's a misunderstanding, explain it to them properly. I think Young Master Qu is a very nice person."

Explain? How? Could she say that the hickeys on her neck were caused by Tanlang?

"We'll see." Li Yue waved her hand indifferently and continued eating grapes.

"There's something else. About twenty days ago, Young Master Wuchen from Jiuhua Mountain also came to the island. He asked me if I was your friend." Fu Hongsha suddenly added. "

Uh..." A grape got stuck in her throat. Li Yue tilted her head back and shrank her neck, struggling for a long time before finally swallowing it whole. She turned to Fu Hongsha and asked, "Who did you say? Yu Wuchen?"

Fu Hongsha nodded and asked, "You know him?"

Li Yue's mind was in turmoil. What did Yu Wuchen mean? Was he telling her that he had actually been paying attention to her?

Thinking of Pei Yanxi beside him, Li Yue didn't answer but asked, "Is he still there?"

Fu Hongsha replied, "He left more than ten days ago."

Li Yue breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to see Fu Hongsha still looking at her curiously, and said, "I... I've met him a few times, so I guess you could say we know each other."

Fu Hongsha still looked at her, seemingly unconvinced. Li Yue could only laugh it off, saying, "Sister Asha, besides that, is there anything else fun on the island? You know I hate being bored."

Seeing that she didn't want to talk about it, Fu Hongsha didn't press her, and after thinking for a moment, said, "Oh, there is someone you're quite close to."

"Quickly close to me?" Li Yue looked puzzled. Apart from Qu Liushang, Yu Wuchen, and others, she really couldn't think of anyone else who could be considered to be quite close to her.

"What? Can't remember? Little pinkie..." Fu Hongsha suddenly smiled mischievously.

"Little Pinky?" Upon hearing the name, Li Yue slapped her forehead excitedly, "Isn't that Jin Lu? He's here too?"

"Hmph, do you still dare to call him 'Little Pinky' now?" Fu Hongsha asked provocatively.

Li Yue scoffed, "Why wouldn't I dare? Back then, he always called me 'Sister Yue, Sister Yue,' so affectionately. Thinking back, six years have passed in a flash. Hey? How does he look now? Is he good-looking? Still relying on his hands? How can that be satisfying? Forum reputation guaranteed!" "High-grade silicone video of Fan Bingbing's lower body, molded to a realistic state, highly realistic vulva shape, soft and delicate skin!

Fu Hongsha was stunned, then clenched her fists and said angrily, "Not good-looking!"

Li Yue said disappointedly and doubtfully, "Not good-looking? No way. I remember back then he had delicate eyebrows and big eyes, and was as beautiful as a jade doll. How could he be not good-looking now?"

Fu Hongsha turned her head and said, "Anyway, he's not as good-looking as me!"

Li Yue stared, then "puchi" laughed and said, "Sister Asha, you are a woman, and he is a man. Is there any comparison? Su Tingsong is celebrating his birthday, and even the crown prince of a country came in person. He is indeed very important."

Fu Hongsha said, "He didn't come for Su Tingsong."

"Oh? Then why did he come?" Li Yue became interested.

Fu Hongsha looked a little embarrassed, as if she didn't know whether she should say it or not.

"Sister A-Sha, I won't let you off the hook if you keep me in suspense," Li Yue threatened.

Fu Hongsha, of course, knew her grandmother Qin's methods. She immediately looked around, then leaned close to Li Yue's ear and whispered mysteriously, "I also heard that the Crown Prince has taken a liking to the young master of the Canal Gang, who is also the only son of the gang leader Su Tingsong, Su Yingge."

"Thump!" Li Yue fell onto the table in shock. After struggling for a while, she finally managed to raise her head and ask Fu Hongsha, "You mean... he's gay?"

Fu Hongsha hurriedly shook her head.

Li Yue was puzzled when Fu Hongsha said in a serious tone, "He's bisexual!" The day after the

appearance of the demon

, just past noon, Li Yue enjoyed a delicious meal at Fu Hongsha's hospitality. Afterward, Fu Hongsha took her to stroll around the island.

Holding an oil-paper umbrella, Li Yue squinted as she surveyed the picturesque island before her, a place renowned as the "Number One Island Under Heaven," dotted with numerous mansions and exquisitely landscaped gardens. Looking at the artificial silk waterfalls, the meticulously planned gardens and lotus ponds, and the egrets perched in the distant trees, she took a deep breath and said, "What a beautiful place! So picturesque and blessed with outstanding people. A place like this must produce handsome men, right? By the way, what does Su Yingge look like? Is he as handsome as Qu Liushang?"

Fu Hongsha scratched her forehead somewhat awkwardly and said, "How can you compare? I'm not like you, always paying attention to these things. As for the young master, I only know that many people who see him for the first time mistake him for Yu Wuchen from Jiuhua Mountain."

Li Yue stumbled.

"Yu Wuchen? You mean he looks like Yu Wuchen?" She asked in astonishment as she regained her balance.

Fu Hongsha seemed impatient and said, "I've only met these two people once. I don't know if their features are similar, but at first glance, their demeanor and aura seem quite alike."

After walking around for a while, Li Yue felt a bit hot. Looking up, she saw an island cliff not far ahead and headed towards it.

Upon reaching the top of the cliff, she saw a huge rock, about two zhang square, split in two, standing prominently on the bare cliff top.

Li Yue stared in astonishment, rushed over to look at the neat, smooth cut on the rock, and then reached out to test the sharpness of the crack. Turning back to Fu Hongsha, she exclaimed, "I've long heard that Su Tingsong, the leader of the Canal Gang, has an invincible set of forty-nine moves of the Azure Sea Tide Saber Technique. I never imagined his saber power would be so domineering, splitting such a huge rock as easily as cutting tofu. It's truly breathtaking!"

Fu Hongsha shook her head and smiled upon hearing this, saying, "Go around to the front of the rock and take a look."

Li Yue went around to look and saw three large characters carved on the rock like iron hooks and silver strokes—"Sword Testing Stone."

"A sword-testing stone? This... could it be that it was cleaved by a sword? Impossible, in this world, whose sword aura could be so astonishing? If such a person truly existed, I couldn't possibly be completely unaware of him," Li Yue said in disbelief.

Fu Hongsha walked to her side, reaching out to stroke the giant stone, and said, "You must have heard of this person's name."

Li Yue searched her memory but still couldn't recall, so she asked, "Who?"

"Murong Juan," Fu Hongsha looked up at her.

"Murong Juan? The number one assassin of the Dongyi Murong family? But didn't he die three years ago?" Li Yue exclaimed in astonishment.

Fu Hongsha asked, "Don't you know who his last assassination target was before he died?"

Li Yue thought for a moment, then suddenly understood, saying, "I heard that until his death, only one person survived his attacks. Could it be Su Tingsong? In that case, this is where he fought Su Tingsong?"

Fu Hongsha nodded, "It should be. The people of Tianyi Island are very secretive about this. I've been here for a long time, and I only found out from the boatmen's private discussions."

Upon hearing this, Li Yue turned around, looking at the thread-like crack, somewhat... She sighed wistfully, "In this world, few people arouse my curiosity, but he is one. I heard that three years ago, he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, yet he was already invincible in the martial world. There are so many rumors about him, but the world will never have the chance to verify them."

Behind her, Fu Hongsha walked to the edge of the cliff, looked at the magnificent Jiaye River, and sighed, "Heaven is jealous of talent!"

Li Yue paused, walked to her side, and said, "Sister A-Sha, do you think that damned Heaven is a man or a woman? It's jealous of beauty, and it's jealous of talent too!"

Fu Hongsha turned around with a smile, saying helplessly, "Perhaps he's a eunuch."

Li Yue nodded, indicating that the beauty shared the same opinion.

Turning around, looking at the sprawling, magnificent manor below the cliff, Fu Hongsha pointed to a courtyard in the southeast corner and said, "Your little pinkie lives there."

"Oh?" Li Yue squinted and looked again, but it was too far away, and the trees in between blocked the view, so she smiled and said, "I'll go meet him tonight and see if he still recognizes me."

Fu Hongsha raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile, "Are you really going?"

Li Yue turned around and asked, "What's wrong? Is he getting too high-handed now, not allowing strangers to meet him?"

Fu Hongsha coughed lightly and said, "Not really, I just heard that this Crown Prince's personality... is somewhat childlike and simple-minded..."

"Simple-minded and simple-minded? That's exactly my type." Li Yue smiled wickedly.

Fu Hongsha's expression was somewhat strange as she touched her nose and said, "I hope so."

*

The two spent half a day enjoying the river breeze on the cliff, and by evening they prepared to return to Fu Hongsha's "Welcoming Autumn Pavilion" for dinner.

Just as they reached the waterside garden connecting the east and west sides of Tianyi Island, they heard the sound of approaching hooves accompanied by the tinkling of bells.

Li Yue looked up and exclaimed, "Wow, what a grand spectacle!"

At the forefront were four tall, pure white horses, carried by four men as wise and valiant as founding generals—clearly exceptional masters. Behind them was a gleaming golden dragon carriage, and most remarkably, it was carried by eight beautiful and charming women. Following the carriage were a dozen or so servants carrying various royal items, and behind them were about a hundred scimitar-wielding knights, each one spirited and dashing!

The golden bells hanging from the eight corners of the dragon carriage swayed gently in the wind, their sounds clear and melodious.

Li Yue was still in a daze when Fu Hongsha whispered beside her, "This is the little pink dragon carriage."

"Oh?" Li Yue looked at the approaching procession, her eyes shining as she imagined the little pink carriage's current appearance.

Just as she was thinking of what to say as an opening remark, Tan Lang, standing beside her, tilted his head back, stretched his nose, and excitedly sniffed the air a few times. Suddenly, he leaped up and darted into the dragon carriage!

The four people in front reacted incredibly quickly. Just as Tan Lang jumped, the four of them turned around abruptly, simultaneously raising their right hands. Four sword-like streams of energy enveloped Tan Lang's golden figure, instantly sealing off all escape routes in all directions.

Li Yue was startled. She swung her oil-paper umbrella with a "whoosh," like a gust of green wind, instantly swirling up most of the four people's energy. A dull ache ran through her chest from the impact, and she immediately realized the gap between herself and these four. She sighed in despair. She hadn't practiced for almost a month; truly, if you don't advance, you regress.

But for Tanlang's sake, Liyue shifted her figure, appearing suddenly and eerily in front of the four, coldly saying, "Gentlemen, it's just a dog. If you attack again, I won't be polite."

The four were secretly surprised that she, at such a young age, could deflect their combined sword strikes, each imbued with five layers of internal energy, but their mission demanded their utmost attention. Just as they were about to launch another attack, a loud "waa!" came from the dragon carriage behind them. They instantly withdrew their attacks, their faces displaying a strange expression—a mixture of helplessness and suppressed laughter.

Liyue was startled and turned around to see Tanlang standing at her feet, ears drooping, staring at her expectantly. Her gaze swept across the dragon carriage, where a small, exquisite, snow-white, long-haired dog with a gold collar around its neck and small gold bells on its paws lay motionless on the ground, seemingly dead.

Liyue looked back at Tanlang, her eyes questioning: Did you do this?

Tanlang's eyes were filled with grievance: It wasn't me, really.

Liyue: Then what happened?

Tanlang: I don't know.

...

Before they could reach a conclusion, a beautiful maidservant took out a roll of snow-white velvet blanket from the bottom of the imperial carriage and began to spread it from under the carriage towards where Liyue was standing. Liyue watched her busily working without moving, wondering what it meant.

The girl just barely placed the blanket to Liyue's toes before turning back to the imperial carriage.

Liyue looked at the brightly colored and thick velvet blanket on the ground and thought, "This material is nice; it would be both beautiful and warm to make clothes for winter.

" "Your Highness, please alight from the carriage," the maidservant gently lifted the bright yellow carriage curtain and said softly to the person inside.

The wailing and crying instantly turned into soft sobs.

Li Yue stared intently at the bright yellow curtain. First, a white satin boot, inlaid with lotus patterns of emeralds and rubies, emerged, followed by a small sliver of snow-white silken fabric.

A delicate, jade-like hand rested on the maid's wrist; on the thumb, a black dragon-patterned ring gleamed with a lustrous yet somewhat chilling light in the sunlight, creating a stark contrast with the jade-like finger.

To Li Yue's surprise, a boy of about fifteen or sixteen finally stepped out of the dragon carriage, standing on the thick, soft white carpet, looking at Li Yue with teary eyes.

Li Yue looked up and her breath caught in her throat!

A... a demon!

Li Yue now fully understood why Fu Hongsha had been so furious that night when she asked about Jinlu's appearance—because the person before her truly possessed a face that could enrage women and drive men mad with desire.

For a moment, she couldn't find the right words to describe him. She only knew that she would be willing to take him back and worship him like a Buddha. Moreover, looking at his pitiful, tearful face, she felt her heart breaking...

Her heart swayed, and she felt someone tugging at her arm. She turned her head groggily and saw Fu Hongsha frowning and whispering, "You're drooling!"

Li Yue was startled, quickly wiping her mouth. She casually waved to the devilishly handsome man standing not far away, smiling sweetly, "Hi, little pinkie, do you remember your sister..." Her voice trailed off when she said "sister," because she suddenly realized that, in terms of height, she probably... only reached his stomach...

Good heavens! Why was this happening? Six years ago, he was shorter than her. How could he have grown twice her height in six years? Had she shrunk?

Li Yue thought indignantly, but then she saw the enchanting, dark, watery peach blossom eyes of the man opposite her blink once, then blink again, and suddenly a smile that seemed to infuriate heaven and earth spread across his face. He opened his arms and rushed towards her, shouting, "Sister Yue, I missed you so much!"

The delicate-looking Crown Prince

Li Yue stared dumbfounded as the man, who was much taller than her, happily rushed towards her. Before she could react, he pulled her into his embrace.

He was already tall, and his wide robes and sleeves completely covered the petite Li Yue in his hug, ensuring that no one else could see her.

Seeing this, Tan Lang seized the opportunity to slip away, with Fu Hongsha suppressing a smile as she followed closely behind.

Li Yue nearly suffocated from his suffocation, but she had no time to worry about that now. In their current position, she subtly rubbed her face against his chest, making sure there weren't any soft mounds. Only after confirming that this man was a truly monstrous male was she finally relieved. Smiling, she awkwardly reached out and hugged him, muttering, "Little pinkie, I missed you too."

Oh dear, it's so tempting to touch a handsome man! And he even smells of milk…

milk?!

Li Yue froze, pushing him away, wanting to figure out the source of the milky scent. But when she looked up and saw his jade-like, snow-white skin and his soft, sweet-looking, rosy lips, she couldn't help but inwardly groan: Heavens! How are we women supposed to live when a man is this beautiful?

Jinlu stared at Liyue with his clear, dark eyes for a long time, then innocently asked, "Sister Yue, your eyes are so piercing, are you perhaps a flower thief?"

Uh…!!

Liyue snapped back to reality, inwardly cursing: That brat, his eyes are quite sharp!

She subtly wiped her mouth to make sure there was no drool, then carefully asked, "Um… little pinkie, why do I smell a milky fragrance on you? Could it be that you haven't been weaned yet?" Is that why you look so tender?

Jinlu nodded vigorously, readily admitting, "Yes." Then he countered, "Did you wean so early, sister?"

Uh…

Liyue wiped the cold sweat from her forehead while carefully observing him. No matter how she looked at it, his expression and movements seemed somewhat abnormal.

Fu Hongsha's words, "childlike innocence and naivety," flashed through her mind. Suddenly, she realized something and her heart skipped a beat. Judging from his appearance, was he mentally challenged?

If he really was… damn it, she'd definitely castrate that androgynous god again!

Lost in thought, she was suddenly pulled by his hand and dragged into the imperial carriage, shouting, "So hungry, so hungry! Sister Yue, come eat with me!"

"Ah? I…" Li Yue hurriedly turned back to look at Fu Hongsha as he dragged her along, only to find that Fu Hongsha and Tan Lang had already vanished.

A

spacious and luxurious palanquin, soft and elegant seats, a dazzling array of pastries, and a retinue of attendants and guards…

Li Yue squinted her eyes, wanting to imagine this carefree life. But her beautiful dream was immediately shattered by a childish voice beside her: “Sister Yue, try this! It’s my favorite.”

Li Yue turned her head and saw Jin Lu pull out a large red brocade pouch from somewhere, mysteriously opening her hand and pouring out a milky-white object, then looking at her expectantly.

From a young age, Li Yue knew that words could be spoken carelessly, but things shouldn’t be eaten carelessly. Although the boy beside her looked simple-minded, they hadn’t seen each other for six years; as the saying goes, you can know a person’s face but not their heart.

With this in mind, Li Yue held the round object, examining it carefully for a while, and asked, “What is this?” A candy or poison?

Without a reply, Li Yue looked up and saw Jin Lu's pink lips twitching in grievance, his eyes quickly filling with tears. He cried out, "Sister Yue, you don't believe me!" Then, he suddenly turned away, burying his face in the dark wall, unresponsive to her calls.

To be honest, watching a grown man act like such a child was... truly chilling.

Just as Li Yue was feeling helpless, a sweet, milky scent wafted towards her nose, incredibly tempting. She leaned closer and saw Jin Lu puffing out his cheeks over the brocade pouch.

Could it really be candy?

Li Yue licked the pearl-like thing in her palm, smacked her lips, and then popped it into her mouth, chewing it heartily.

Wow, such delicious candy! It melted in her mouth and left a lingering fragrance; no wonder Jin Lu smelled so milky.

After finishing one, Li Yue licked her lips, reached out and tugged at Jin Lu's sleeve, shamelessly demanding, "Little pink one, give me another one."

Jin Lu angrily turned away, ignoring her.

This happened three times in a row, until Li Yue finally lost her patience and used her ultimate weapon—snatching!

Unexpectedly, although Jin Lu looked pink and tender, he was quite strong, and after a struggle, the carriage was in complete chaos, with benches and tables overturned.

The guards and servants outside the carriage watched in fear as the carriage swayed violently, seemingly on the verge of falling apart, and vaguely heard the following conversation coming from inside:

"Waaah, Sister Yue, you're a bad person, you're bullying me..." The Crown Prince's voice was pitiful, trembling with tears.

"Hmm, a true gem. Little pink one, quick, give in to Sister Yue and it won't hurt anymore, don't cover it with your hands, come on, give it to me." A woman's seductive voice lurked.

"No! I won't! Waaah, don't ride on me, waaah, you're forcing yourself on me..." The prince struggled incessantly.

"Come on, I won't drain you dry. Hurry up, take it out, or I'll do it myself." The woman's shameless threatening voice rang out.

"Waaah, no, don't touch there, ahh, don't bite, my breasts..." The prince cried as if he was about to faint.

...

The guards and servants were speechless, as were the four guardians leading the way. One of them, with slightly less composure, couldn't help but turn to the older guardian beside him and say, "Guard Li, do you think we should..."

Guard Li raised his hand to stop him, calmly replying, "If His Highness doesn't cry for help, don't go in and disturb him."

Finally, they arrived at the "Sacred Garden," where the Crown Prince was staying. The imperial carriage had barely come to a stop, and the maids hadn't even had time to lay out the velvet carpet for Jinlu to step on, when their Crown Prince suddenly leaped out of the carriage, disheveled and with disheveled hair, wailing and fleeing into the courtyard.

Behind him, Liyue gracefully alighted from the carriage, straightened her clothes, licked her lips with a lingering relish, and, seeing the guards eyeing her menacingly, gave a sheepish laugh before slipping into the garden with Jinlu.

In

the lavishly decorated front hall of Shenglin Garden, Jinlu sat at the table, still sobbing pitifully. Liyue had tried everything, but to little avail.

Looking at the tears threatening to fall on his fair cheeks, she thought: If women are made of water, then this devil must be made of the sea. If he weren't, given his tendency to shed tears over the smallest things, wouldn't he have dried up long ago in fifteen years?

She sighed silently, glancing at the four powerful figures glaring at her from a distance. Just as she was considering making an excuse to leave, a hand suddenly reached for her waist.

Startled, she turned to see Jinlu, his bright, sparkling eyes gleaming, clutching the dragon-patterned jade pendant Yan Huang had given her, asking with feigned curiosity, "Sister Yue, can I play with this?"

Seeing that he had finally stopped crying, Liyue breathed a sigh of relief, but his desire for the jade pendant put her in a difficult position. Speaking of which, she had planned to use this jade pendant to seduce Yan Huang in Dongyi in the future…

Seeing her hesitation, Jinlu very considerately took out a gleaming golden Crown Prince's token from his sleeve, and said with the expression of a child exchanging toys, “I'll trade this for you.”

Liyue's eyes lit up, thinking: Since she was currently in Nanfo, Jinlu's token was naturally more useful. As for Yan Huang's, she could exchange it back with him when she wanted to go to Dongyi later.

With that thought, she silently took his token and handed him the jade pendant from her waist.

Jinlu took the jade pendant, looked at it in the light, and immediately smiled happily, saying joyfully, “There's a dragon on it!”

Liyue glanced at his ethereal profile, feeling both pity and regret, because through their interactions over the past half day, she was absolutely certain of one fact—he really was mentally challenged!

Heavens! Why, why? Such an inhumanly beautiful man was actually mentally challenged!

She turned her head and secretly wiped away a tear of sympathy.

Before long, a table was filled with steaming hot and delicious dishes. A lean man in his thirties, who looked like a eunuch, stood by the table and said in a high-pitched voice, "The dishes are ready, Your Highness, please dine."

Jinlu glanced at the table, turned away like a child throwing a tantrum, and said angrily, "I don't want to eat, I don't want to eat!"

"Your Highness, you must eat!" The eunuch suddenly raised his voice, his tone lacking not only respect but also a hint of threat, startling Li Yue.

Jinlu, hearing this, reluctantly turned around, her expression showing considerable fear of the eunuch.

Li Yue, annoyed and wanting to find fault with the eunuch, picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful of lotus seed tofu, chewed it a couple of times, and frowned slightly.

Thanks to her dead master, she was extremely sensitive to poisons, and thus, the moment the tofu entered her mouth, she sensed something was added—either a slow-acting poison or something else, certainly not something good. The dosage was very small; most people wouldn't be able to taste anything unusual.

Could Jinlu's intellectual disability not be congenital but caused by secret poisoning? Come to think of it, what kind of crown prince would be carried around in a sack in the middle of the night? Moreover, six years ago, he spent nearly a month with her, and she didn't find anything wrong with his words or actions. Why did he suddenly become mentally challenged after six years?

Someone in the Southern Buddha Palace must be trying to harm him.

Realizing this, she turned her head, spat out the tofu in her mouth, slammed the spoon on the table, and pointed at the eunuch, cursing, "Damn it! Is this food for humans? Do you think it's for dogs? No wonder His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't like it. Take it away and make it again!"

The eunuch looked up at the sky, not even glancing at her. His arrogant appearance was truly... infuriating!

Li Yue grabbed a plate from the table and swung it at his head, cursing, "Are you deaf, you son of a bitch?"

She thought it would hit him squarely, but the damned eunuch slightly tilted his head and dodged, his aim perfectly precise.

He knows martial arts?

Li Yue's pupils contracted. She braced her right hand on the table, swiftly appearing in front of the eunuch. With a twist of her right arm, she struck the eunuch's chest like a dragon emerging from the sea.

The eunuch remained calm, taking two steps back and raising his palm to meet the attack. Their palms met, and the eunuch frowned: Strange, how come there's not a trace of internal energy? Could this woman be just an empty shell?

Just as the doubt arose, he suddenly felt a piercing, bone-deep pain in his right arm, and cold sweat instantly streamed down his forehead.

A thin wound, as if pierced by a sharp sword, dripped blood from his palm like rain. He clutched his almost crippled right arm and asked in a trembling voice, "You... what kind of martial arts is this?"

Li Yue sneered, spun around, kicked him to the ground, stepped on his chest, and leaned down, saying, "You dog-like thing, you've even learned martial arts? Are you preparing to assassinate the Crown Prince at any moment?"

The eunuch finally seemed to wake from a dream, shouting, "Guards! Guards..." Before he could finish, Li Yue grabbed a plate of food from the table and shoved it into his mouth, saying, "That's for protecting the Crown Prince. You think you can move it? I told you to redo it, but you wouldn't listen. Fine, eat all of this, so it doesn't go to waste!"

Soon, the eunuch was coughing and choking, his eyes rolling back in his head.

Li Yue turned around, grabbed the edge of the table, and forcefully flipped it, smashing the table and its contents onto the eunuch. Hearing his groans and groans, she finally felt some satisfaction.

Walking up to the dazed Jinlu, she placed her hand on his shoulder like a loving mother, and said with

righteous indignation, "Little pinkie, don't be afraid. If anyone dares to bully you again, come tell your sister, and I'll kill them!" (Excerpt from the story: Liu Shang's Confession)

Midnight, Yingqiu Pavilion.

Liyue was fast asleep when the door was suddenly kicked open.

Liyue jumped out of bed, saw that familiar figure, and flopped back down.

Fu Hongsha didn't even light a lamp, but went straight to the bedside and said to Liyue, "Hey, girl, I have to go out for a bit. Can you manage alone here?"

Liyue yawned repeatedly and asked, "What's the big deal? Why aren't you sleeping? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Someone saw Yulianqiu in Dongjun, Nanfohuan. The Third Master wants me to take some men to check it out," Fu Hongsha said.

Li Yue's half-closed eyes suddenly snapped open. "Who did you say? Yu Lianqiu?" she asked

. Fu Hongsha nodded. "Last time Yu Wuchen visited, I heard it was because of Yu Lianqiu running away from home. He said she went to Nanfo, so he asked the leader to help inquire about her." She finished speaking, reached out and patted Li Yue's head. "I'm leaving. Be good, okay? Don't cause trouble."

Li Yue nodded, then touched her hair blankly, thinking: Yu Lianqiu, being born to a concubine, has always been aloof and well-behaved, rarely leaving the house. How could she suddenly run away from home? It's truly unbelievable…

"Oh, right, I just got news that the young master and Young Master Qu are returning to the island tomorrow. Young Master Qu is staying at the young master's 'Yingge Courtyard.' Go find him yourself." Reaching the door, Fu Hongsha turned back to add this, then closed the door behind her and left.

Li Yue scratched the back of her head, looking troubled. Couldn't they have stopped telling her so much before she was even fully awake? Her head was a mess, she couldn't remember anything...

Perhaps disturbed last night, Li Yue woke up very early.

When she stepped out of Yingqiu Pavilion, it was just dawn. The island's air was fresh, the trees lush and green, and a light mist drifted between heaven and earth, hazy and languid—everything was perfectly beautiful.

Looking at the still unfamiliar Tianyi Island, Li Yue felt a little lost. Where was this 'Yingge Courtyard'? And

what should she say to Qu Liushang? He left in a huff; should she apologize to him?

But what had she done wrong? He wasn't even anyone to her.

Hmm, it would be better to go under the guise of settling scores. As a friend, he left without saying goodbye; she had a thousand reasons to settle accounts with him!

Having made up her mind, she led Tanlang cheerfully towards the central garden, hoping to ask someone for directions.

Passing a bamboo grove on the west side of the garden, Li Yue and Tanlang stopped simultaneously, sniffing around.

What smells so good? The aroma alone made her mouth water; she hadn't even had breakfast yet. Driven

by instinct, the woman and her dog followed the scent into the bamboo grove.

Thin wisps of morning mist swirled among the verdant bamboo, pure and ethereal, like a fairyland. Li Yue took a deep breath, feeling refreshed and invigorated.

Not far along, she faintly heard a man's clear and crisp voice: "...Let us drink and sing, for life is short. Like morning dew, the days gone by are many..."

Li Yue smiled and looked in the direction of the voice. Through the veil of morning mist, she saw a bamboo stalk bending low in the distance, upon which lay a person. Long, flowing hair cascaded down the bamboo, dancing lightly in the morning breeze.

He held a white porcelain wine pot in his right hand and a scroll in his left, reciting a few lines and then taking a sip of wine, his movements casual and free, exuding a transcendent, otherworldly air.

The mist obscured his features.

"Woo-woo—" came Tanlang's impatient groans. Liyue glanced down and saw a low table in the woods, upon which sat five or six pastries and a bowl of porridge. The irresistible aroma of the food wafted from it.

Looking at the colorful and fragrant pastries, Liyue's mouth watered. She had never known pastries could smell so good, so tempting; it was as if she would die if she couldn't eat them. She couldn't

help it; she had never been able to resist handsome men and delicious food, nor had she ever considered doing so.

Looking up, she was about to greet the man on the bamboo when she heard a "ouch!" and a white shadow plummeted before her. A moment later, the man who had seemed so ethereal just moments before landed on the ground in a perfect doggy-style position. Tanlang, standing nearby, stared wide-eyed, thinking he had encountered another of his kind.

Liyue was astonished, wondering if he was captivated by her beauty.

While she was pondering, the man had already gotten up. His tall, slender figure was like bamboo, his skin as white as jade, which accentuated his long, jet-black eyebrows. His eyes shone like stars, his nose was high, and his lips thin. He wasn't particularly striking, but upon closer inspection, every feature was exquisitely perfect.

A handsome man, undeniably so. Li Yue immediately ranked him in her mind.

"Hey, hello there," Li Yue greeted him with a smile that was both charming and lecherous.

"Hmm, whatever you like," the man replied with a forced chuckle, but his thin lips, perhaps out of habit, curled slightly to one side, giving him an air of both wickedness and seduction. Her bright eyes quickly swept over Tan Lang, a hint of fear in them.

Hey, this is quite a character. She was just about to offer to help him finish this table full of delicious food, and before she could even speak, he seemed to have foreseen it. Without hesitation, she sat down at the table, picked up a piece of coconut cake with her chopsticks, and popped it into her mouth.

Good heavens, how could it be so delicious? Feeling the incredible sweetness and softness in her mouth, Li Yue squinted her eyes, her face filled with ecstasy.

Absolutely divine! Back in Jiuhua Mountain, she considered herself to have tasted countless delicacies, but none could compare to this little pastry before her.

Who made this? She was determined to snatch that person away and have them cook for her every day.

Reluctantly swallowing the pastry that brought her such immense pleasure, she tossed a few pieces to Tan Lang, then looked up at the man again, only to find that he, who had been so close just moments before, was now several feet away, half-hidden behind a bamboo grove, watching her and Tan Lang.

A suspicion crossed her mind. Judging from his expression, could the pastry be poisoned?

After a moment's thought, she immediately dismissed the idea. If it were poisonous, she could definitely taste it.

If it wasn't, why was he hiding so far away?

"Hey, what's your name?" With such delicious food before her, Li Yue didn't bother with such questions anymore, asking while enjoying her meal.

Receiving no answer, she heard a very faint thud.

Li Yue turned her head and saw Tan Lang, who had just eaten a few pieces of pastry, lying on the ground.

Oh no!

Just as she was about to circulate her qi to check if she had been poisoned, a violent dizziness suddenly struck, and she collapsed backward without any resistance.

In extreme numbness, she felt as if she had become a puddle of water, unable to see, open, or speak, yet her consciousness remained clear.

What kind of rubbish had been put in those pastries? Why hadn't she noticed? And who was that damned man? Why did he try to ambush her?

It's over; this time, she's truly reduced to a helpless lamb. She groaned inwardly.

"Phew—, finally down! You scared me half to death, you damned dog!" she heard the man's voice beside her.

Dog? Could it be that this man only poisoned them because he was afraid of Tan Lang? That's not right...

Before she could finish her thought, she suddenly felt her cheeks being pinched and pulled apart, while a finger pressed against her nose, forcefully pushing the tip upwards. The man huffed, "Pretty? I don't think so. Look at you, you're just a pig."

Li Yue was being tormented both physically and mentally, nearly fainting from anger. She cursed inwardly: "You pervert! After being treated like this, you look even more like a pig than me!

" "Hmph, such small breasts, are they even fully developed? Is Qu Liushang a pedophile? He's actually saddened by a brat, ignoring a stunningly handsome man like me. His head must have been caught in a door."

The man released her face, then grabbed her sleeve, saying, "Are these hands? They're fat and thick, clearly pig's trotters. Are you a pig demon reincarnated?"

Li Yue swore that if she didn't die at his hands, she would cut out his tongue!

"You like my cooking? Then I'll take you back and cook for you every day, okay?" His voice suddenly turned somewhat malicious as he reached out to hug her. Suddenly, a loud shout rang in her ears: "Su Yingge! What are you doing?!"

Hearing that familiar voice, Li Yue felt almost moved to tears. Liu Shang, you've come at just the right time!

A whooshing sound filled the air, as if one person after another had run away. Then, a strong arm lifted her up, pulling her into his embrace. She smelled his familiar scent.

Qu Liushang reached out and checked her breath, then frowned at the innocent-looking Su Yingge not far away. "What did you do to her?"

Su Yingge shrugged. "I didn't do anything. I was drinking and reading here when she came over, ate something, and this happened."

Qu Liushang gritted his teeth. "Stop pretending! Give me the antidote, quick!"

"Hey, didn't you say you never wanted to see her again? Wouldn't it be better to make her disappear forever? That way you won't have to avoid her." Su Yingge leaned casually against the bamboo, raising an eyebrow at him.

Qu Liushang was slightly embarrassed, then used impatience to cover his embarrassment. "Hurry up! Stop talking nonsense!"

"Hey, what's with your attitude? Don't you think about who's been comforting and keeping you company all month? And you treat me like this the moment you see this pig demon? You're so heartless when it comes to women!" Su Yingge sighed to the heavens.

Qu Liushang gritted his teeth and said, "Don't force me to take action."

"What? You're actually going to fight me for her? What's so great about this ugly woman? Have you never seen a beautiful woman before?" Su Yingge jumped up.

"Don't you dare call her ugly!" Qu Liushang was so angry that he couldn't jump up because he was holding Li Yue, and he was practically fuming.

"She's ugly to begin with. Luckily, you've already decided to cut ties with her, so let her die. Check if she's still breathing. If she is, just throw her in the river. It'll save us the trouble of digging a hole to bury her. There's not much space on the island anyway..." Su Yingge said, flicking her sleeves and turning to leave.

Qu Liushang put down Li Yue, then swiftly blocked his path, grabbing his shoulders and shaking him violently. "Where's the antidote! Give it to me now!"

Su Yingge saw stars from his shaking and hurriedly pushed him away, dizzy and saying, "She's nobody to you, why should I give her the antidote?"

"She's the woman I love, are you going to turn on me?" In his desperation, Qu Liushang blurted out.

"Didn't you say she has someone else? Hey, I'm telling you, have some backbone, okay? Look at you, you look like you've eaten a dead toad. If you're really that thirsty, I'll go and call all the most beautiful dancers on the island to serve you right now, I guarantee they'll be much better than her..." Before he could finish, Qu Liushang's hands were already grabbing at him.

"Ah! You're serious! You lustful bastard, I'll just poison you!" Su Yingge laughed and ran off in a flash.

Just as Qu Liushang was about to give chase, a golden figure suddenly pounced on him. He caught it and saw it was Tanlang, his eyes burning with desire as he frantically licked Qu Liushang's handsome face.

A bad premonition rose in Qu Liushang's heart. Wasn't he... poisoned along with Liyue?

Trembling, he turned his head and saw Liyue sitting on the ground, gazing at him tenderly. Seeing him look at her, she said shyly, "Little Liushang, please don't confess your love secretly while I'm unconscious next time, okay? I prefer to say it face to face..."

Qu Liushang's cheeks flushed red. He turned to look at Su Yingge, only to see him standing not far away, laughing so hard he almost fell over.

It turned out he had only given him a little anesthetic; he wanted to see Qu Liushang in this embarrassed state.

He was about to confront him when he caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye. It was Li Yue, who pounced on him, yelling, "You sharp-tongued man, I'll cut off your tongue today or I'm not a Qin!"

Seeing this, Su Yingge turned and ran, shouting as she ran, "Qu Liushang, aren't you going to control your ugly woman!"

Qu Liushang watched the two figures chasing and darting through the bamboo forest like swallows, and said, "Liyue, don't chase him, he doesn't know martial arts."

"He doesn't know martial arts and yet dares to be so arrogant, is he just asking for death?" Liyue's voice came from afar.

"Didn't you say you never hold grudges?" Qu Liushang said helplessly.

"Yes, because I'm used to settling scores on the spot, like now!" The dead man in front was quite good at light footwork, and Liyue couldn't catch up for a while, so she said hatefully.

"Don't chase him, he..." He's toxic. Unfortunately, before Qu Liushang could finish speaking, Liyue had already fallen to the ground with a "plop".

Su Yingge landed on the ground, glanced at her, dusted off the bamboo leaves on his sleeves, and said with disgust, "Not only is she ugly, but she's also annoying! Useless."

In

the bamboo forest, Su Yingge knelt obediently on the ground, while Liyue stood in front of him with a broom in hand, looking majestic.

"Grandma Qin, I was wrong, please forgive me." He looked up, his dark eyes brimming with tears, pleadingly gazing at Li Yue.

"Smack!" Li Yue smacked him on the head with a broom, huffing, "Now you know you're wrong? Where were you before? Tell me, am I beautiful?"

Su Yingge fawned, "Of course, you're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. No one else can even compare to a toe of yours."

Li Yue snorted, then asked, "Am I good-looking?"

"Slender and shapely, with a graceful figure, truly the best of the best." Su Yingge looked at her expectantly, her eyes full of flattery.

Li Yue curled her lips into a smile and said, "At least you have some taste. Considering your good attitude in admitting your mistake, I'll let it go with slapping yourself ten times."

She turned to leave, but the man behind her suddenly spoke in a strange tone, "Ugly woman, being stupid is one thing, but being so narcissistic! You actually believe such lies?"

Li Yue stopped, her anger flaring up instantly. She spun around, glaring at Su Yingge, who had already stood up with a wicked smile, and screamed, "You poisonous-tongued man, I'll strangle you if I don't!" With that, she lunged forward and grabbed his neck.

"Cough cough, Li Yue, let go! It's me, Liu Shang..." Suddenly, Qu Liu Shang's voice came from beside her.

Li Yue froze, opened her eyes, and found herself lying on the bed, her hands tightly gripping Qu Liu Shang's neck as he sat on the edge of the bed.

Withdrawing her hand, she sat up, looking around the unfamiliar room blankly, and asked, "What happened to me?"

Qu Liushang rubbed his neck, which she had pinched painfully, and said, "You were poisoned, so I took you back to my room first."

Li Yue recalled the scene before she fainted and immediately gritted her teeth, asking fiercely, "Where is that bastard? I'm going to settle the score with him!" Saying that, she lifted the thin quilt and was about to get out of bed.

"Don't go. Although he doesn't know martial arts, you are no match for him. His skill in poisoning is unparalleled." Qu Liushang stopped her.

Li Yue was stunned for a moment, and said, "Oh right, he put poison in the pastries, but how come I didn't feel anything when I ate them?"

Qu Liushang said, "If you could feel it, he wouldn't be called Su Yingge."

"He doesn't know martial arts? But his lightness skill is clearly very good." Li Yue didn't believe it.

Qu Liushang sighed helplessly, "He only ever studied medicine and poisons. His light-footed skills were developed to facilitate collecting rare medicinal herbs in deep valleys and cliffs. Anyway, don't provoke him anymore, okay?"

Li Yue huffed, "Did I provoke him first?"

Mentioning this, Qu Liushang felt a little embarrassed, turning his face slightly away without speaking.

Li Yue was initially angry, but when she turned her head and saw Qu Liushang's handsome profile, slightly flushed, and remembered his words in the forest, "She is the woman I love," the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve upwards. Her eyes darted around, and suddenly she curled up on the bed, groaning, "Ah, my head hurts so much!"

Qu Liushang turned around abruptly, asking anxiously, "What's wrong? Where does it hurt? Headache?"

Li Yue hooked her arm around his, nodding painfully.

Qu Liushang gritted his teeth, "Damn Su Yingge!" He stood up, ready to settle the score with him.

Li Yue hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Don't go, it has nothing to do with him."

"Hmm?" Qu Liushang turned around to look at her suspiciously, asking, "Then what happened?"

"I...I..." Li Yue tried to distract Qu Liushang while her little hands crawled up his neck and hugged him tightly. Then, she smiled and said, "I want a kiss."

Qu Liushang was stunned, staring at her bright eyes and pouting pink lips. He paused, his handsome face flushed, and turned his eyes away, saying, "Aren't you hungry? I'll go get you something to eat." With that, he pushed her little hands away and fled out the door.

Li Yue sat blankly on the bed, blinking as she watched Qu Liushang's tall figure disappear outside the door. She wondered, "Didn't he say he liked me? Why didn't he pounce on me when he was seduced?"

After thinking about it, she rubbed her forehead and sighed. It must be because of that beast Ye Qianxun's influence. Now it's normal for him to think everyone is a beast.

That night, the breeze was gentle, and the moonlight was like frost.

The Yingge Courtyard was quite large; Qu Liushang's residence was a superior one, with scenery and decorations far superior to Fu Hongsha's. Therefore, Li Yue didn't want to go back and decided to stay with him.

On the rooftop, the two sat side by side. Li Yue, with a chilled grape in her mouth, frowned, feeling that nothing tasted good.

"Hey, tomorrow you can ask that sharp-tongued man to make breakfast, okay?" she nudged the man beside her, who was gazing at the moon.

Qu Liushang turned around; in the moonlight, the girl's face was even more radiant and beautiful than the moon itself.

"You want some?" he asked, startled.

Li Yue didn't deny it, but instead took his arm in a flattering gesture, saying, "Although that sharp-tongued man is a bit annoying, his cooking is actually quite good."

Qu Liushang smiled helplessly and spat, "Greedy cat!"

"Please?" Li Yue shook his arm coaxingly.

"No." Qu Liushang refused outright.

Li Yue was taken aback, then pouted and asked, "Why?"

"Do you know why his cooking is so good?" Qu Liushang countered with a question instead of an answer.

"There's a reason?" Li Yue asked.

"Of course, he never wastes time on meaningless things, and besides, he himself isn't a good eater," Qu Liushang said.

"Oh, stop being so mysterious," Li Yue said, annoyed.

Seeing her eagerness, Qu Liushang laughed again and said, "He's loved researching poisons since childhood. Every time he develops a new drug, he wants someone to test it on him. But who in their right mind would want to eat poison that could cause unpredictable consequences? So, he started learning to cook. He's extremely intelligent, and his sensitivity to taste is far superior to that of ordinary people. Therefore, even the imperial chefs in the palace can hardly match what he makes. However, if you want to satisfy your cravings, you'd better be prepared to be poisoned."

Li Yue stared wide-eyed and asked, "You mean, everything he makes is poisonous?"

Qu Liushang nodded and said, "Now, on the whole island, I'm afraid only you dare to eat his food."

Li Yue remembered his words after she fainted, "You like my cooking? Then I'll take you back and cook for you every day..." and couldn't help but shudder.

"Is there no one on the island who can control him?" Thinking of how he had ravaged her during the day, Li Yue's teeth itched with hatred.

"Basically none, because there's no one he can't poison." Qu Liushang looked at her puffed-up little face and found it adorable.

Li Yue, disheartened, slumped her shoulders and lamented for a while. Her eyes darted around, and

she turned to Qu Liushang, saying, "And I'm the woman you like! Seeing me being bullied like that, don't you want to help me get justice?" Although he guessed she'd eventually target him, hearing her say that still made him blush slightly. He coughed lightly and said, "Want revenge? It's not like there's no way..."

Before he could finish, Li Yue's eyes gleamed mischievously as she leaned closer.

"He has a pharmacy filled with his most treasured herbs, especially that Ice Silk Blood Spirit. It can bring the dead back to life. He searched for it for five years, traveling across the Three Kingdoms, risking his life countless times before finally finding it atop a snow-capped mountain," Qu Liushang said casually.

"Liushang, you're so good to me! To value love over friendship to this extent, I really love it!" Li Yue giggled mischievously and jumped into his arms, twisting and turning.

Qu Liushang's face darkened. Was she praising him or insulting him?

Before he could figure it out, a small hand stealthily groped upwards along his waist. He tensed; this woman was taking advantage of him!

"Hey, what are you doing?" He grabbed her restless hand, the soft, silky texture of her skin sending a shiver down his spine.

"Seducing you, you blockhead!" Li Yue snuggled into his arms; she'd been eyeing his physique for a long time.

Her words were blunt, her soft body pressed against his, her hands groping restlessly. Qu Liushang, being a normal man, couldn't possibly remain unmoved. He immediately swept her up on his lap, holding her slender waist and looking at her.

Li Yue bit her lower lip, her dark eyes looking at him timidly, trying her best to appear innocent, and whispered, "What do you want to do?" But in her heart, she thought: A blockhead is a blockhead. If it were Ye Qianxun, he would have pounced on her already. But this reaction… was slightly better than that bastard Huangfu Jue's.

Knowing her temperament well, Qu Liushang was unfazed by her expression. Suppressing the restlessness in his heart caused by her, he asked, "Who is he?"

The sudden question startled Li Yue, but she quickly realized that the only person who could make him ask such a question at this time was…

But discussing this topic now would be a real mood killer.

She reached out and hugged his neck, her nose touching his, looking into his bright eyes, and whispered, "Are you jealous?"

He didn't answer, which was taken as an admission.

"I'll make it up to you now…" she murmured, leaning in to kiss him.

Unexpectedly, after a moment of stiffness, he pushed her away and stubbornly asked, "Tell me who he is?"

Li Yue was frustrated and asked, "What good would knowing do?"

Qu Liushang stared intently at her and asked, "Do you love him?"

Li Yue tilted her head and thought for a moment. Although that beast was very compatible with her in bed, the two of them were now at most bed partners, not lovers. So she shook her head.

"Then I'll kill him." Qu Liushang's expression remained unchanged.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Li Yue swallowed carefully and hesitated, "You...you'd better not think like that..." Although Ye Qianxun had only shown her one move, that one move had already shocked her so much that she dared not offend him in the slightest.

She believed that there were very few people in the world who could withstand his palm strike, so if Qu Liushang really encountered him, it was uncertain who would kill whom.

"If you won't tell me, then I won't tell you where Su Yingge's pharmacy is." Seeing her shifty eyes, Qu Liushang became angry and reached out to push her off him.

"Okay, okay, I'm only keeping quiet because I'm worried about you." Li Yue hugged his neck and clung to his leg, refusing to get off, and said, "He is the Night Demon, Ye Qianxun." After saying that, she carefully observed Qu Liushang's expression.

He remained expressionless, not even his eyes showed the slightest fluctuation, as if he had only heard the name of an ordinary person.

This puzzled Li Yue greatly. Did he not have any fear of Ye Qianxun at all? Ye Qianxun's name was renowned throughout the martial arts world. But Qu Liushang… she believed most people didn't know who he was.

"Liushang, um, he's very skilled in martial arts, you…" Before Li Yue could finish speaking, he kissed her.

"Hmm?" Li Yue blinked, puzzled, as his lips sealed hers.

"Didn't you just say you'd make it up to me?" Qu Liushang's lips had barely touched hers when his face flushed again, his words becoming somewhat incoherent.

Another innocent young man!

Seeing him offer himself up, Li Yue didn't hold back, lunging forward and pinning him beneath her.
