[Fantasy] The Harem is in Chaos (Complete) - Chapter 28

The main text describes

a night of intimacy between Jinlu and Liyue. Upon waking the next morning, Jinlu notices that Liyue is indeed much more affectionate towards him.

During breakfast, Lishi tells them an amusing story he's heard about a mountain villa.

It's nothing major, really; a small sect called the Xiaoyao Sect arrived at Jiuhua Mountain ten days ago but abruptly left before the martial arts tournament even began.

The participation of such an insignificant sect wouldn't normally warrant the attention of martial arts giants or royal families, but what truly caused a stir was the cause of the incident.

The story goes like this:

Early the day before yesterday, the sect leader got up to use the restroom and noticed the light was still on in his eldest disciple's room. After finishing, he went to eavesdrop and overheard the following conversation:

"Senior Brother, did you really get the woman Yu Wuchen slept with? How much silver did you spend?" asked the third disciple.

"Not much, not much, five hundred taels," replied the eldest disciple.

"Huh? Senior Brother, you only spent five hundred taels? Why did she ask me for eight hundred taels the night before last?" came the voice of the second disciple.

The third disciple exclaimed in surprise, "Second Senior Brother, you've done it too?"

The second disciple chuckled, his eyes brimming with lust, and said, "Women that Yu Wuchen has been with, who wouldn't want to try them?"

The third disciple, short of money, said, "It's just that the price was a bit too high, otherwise, I would also..."

The eldest disciple interrupted him, "Do you know how much Yu Wuchen spent? One hundred thousand taels, one hundred thousand taels! It's just deflowering, adding another piece of red. We're already lucky to get into such a prestigious place for a few hundred taels of silver. Actually, whether you deflower her or not, the taste is pretty much the same."

The third disciple asked somewhat awkwardly, "Then... what does it taste like?"

The eldest and second disciples both perked up, deliberately whetting their appetites, "Well... it's something that can only be experienced, not explained."

The third disciple ... Their words only fueled his itch, and he said, "How about I go borrow some money from Master tomorrow? I'll say my mother is seriously ill and urgently needs money. Eldest brother, second brother, what do you think of this excuse?"

The eldest disciple said, "Forget it, don't ask for it for nothing. According to that little vixen, our Master has already spent nearly two thousand taels of silver at Ban Hua Mian these past two days. Where would he get the money to lend you?"

The third and second disciples stared in astonishment, exclaiming, "Master is truly amazing! He's been through countless battles and his skills are still sharp. We juniors can only look up to him in disbelief. But if that's the case, wouldn't we be fighting against him?"

The three chuckled smugly. Their master, outside the door, was furious, his face turning ashen. He shoved the door open! The three were so shocked that their faces turned ashen

. They stared blankly at their master, who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, their knees buckling as they knelt on the ground, begging for mercy.

This matter could have been resolved after the martial arts tournament, but the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect, for some inexplicable lapse of judgment, insisted that the three rebellious disciples had tarnished the reputation of Young Master Wuchen and demanded that they come to Yu Wuchen shirtless to apologize. As a result, Yu Wuchen never appeared, but the story spread like wildfire.

They weren't afraid of losing face, but Yu Jiuxiao couldn't bear it. That very afternoon, he sent men to kick all twenty-three members of the Xiaoyao Sect, including the sect leader, off Mount Jiuhua.

Jinlu laughed heartily upon hearing

this, saying she hadn't expected Yu Wuchen, with his ethereal appearance, to be a philanderer. Liyue scoffed. She might believe in ghosts, but for Yu Wuchen to frequent brothels… especially in his own brothel… unless he'd lost his mind. With his looks and wealth, what woman couldn't he have? Why lower himself like that?

She simply sighed, "Banhua Mian truly is a place where new talents emerge in every generation. Since her, the gold medal coach, left, it seems an even more ruthless one has arrived. Look, they actually dare to use Yu Wuchen as a brand." Hmm, she thought, "I'll revisit this place another day and meet that capable person."

Lost in thought, someone arrived at the pavilion. It was Chuxiu, saying that Yu Wuchen invited her to Huayun Pavilion for tea.

Tea?

Upon hearing those two words, Liyue knew his intentions were not what they seemed. She had always known she didn't like tea.

However, the more mysterious he was, the more she wanted to see what he was up to.

Just as she stood up, "Sister Yue," Jinlu called softly beside her.

Liyue turned her head and saw a certain devilishly handsome man with clear, dark eyes, a look of resentment on his face, yet one he dared not show. He carefully tugged at her sleeve with two fingers, asking, "When are you coming back?"

His appearance was so adorable and pitiful, even more endearing than Tanlang's half-month-old son.

"Good boy, come back after you finish your tea." Li Yue reached out and patted his head, just like she would pat her beloved son.

The devil was immediately soothed.

Following Chu Xiu, they walked through the flowers and willows to Linfeng Pavilion, then turned to Huayun Pavilion on the back cliff. From afar, they could see a group of people sitting in the pavilion, and Yu Wuchen's voice could be heard faintly.

Li Yue rubbed her forehead. She had expected there to be other people in the pavilion, but she hadn't expected so many.

Yu Wuchen, Yan Huang, Huangfu Jue, Murong Juan, Huangfu Shuhua, and Yu Lianqiu.

Wait, wasn't Yu Lianqiu supposed to be Ye Qianxun's half-sister? Why is she back? Back to infiltrate?

Facing Yu Wuchen outside the pavilion, Yan Huang and Huangfu Jue saw her first. Due to their status as guests, Yan Huang couldn't speak first, but instead gave a gentle smile. Huangfu Jue's dark eyes glanced at her before lowering his eyelids. Yu Wuchen seemed to be in an exceptionally good mood today, saying, "Liyue, you're late, so you should be punished with three cups."

Of the three people with their backs to the outside of the pavilion, only Yu Lianqiu glanced back at her, her gaze carrying little kindness, which startled Liyue.

Was she seeing things? She actually saw a hint of murderous intent in the eyes of the introverted and gentle Third Miss Yu? Could murderous intent be contagious, and had she caught it from spending so much time

with Ye Qianxun? Unfortunately, even if a thousand Yu Lianqius piled up and unleashed their murderous intent on her, it wouldn't bother her. She nonchalantly smiled and said, "Oh, so many people? Punishment is fine, but I want wine instead of tea."

Yu Wuchen looked at her helplessly, then his gaze swept across the misty pavilion like moonlight, saying, "Is there anyone here who doesn't recognize this person and needs an introduction? Surely not, right?"

Liyue looked at the smiling Yu Wuchen on the surface, thinking to herself: You, Yu Wuchen, inviting me to this kind of occasion, is it to test my feelings?

Li Yue casually sat down next to Yan Huang, and looked up. Only Huangfu Shuhua, standing next to Huangfu Jue, nodded politely to her with bright, watery eyes. The others kept their eyes down and remained silent.

Li Yue smiled slightly in return, then turned to Yu Wuchen and said, "Are you really just here for tea? Otherwise, why is everyone so quiet? Or did my arrival spoil the atmosphere?"

Yu Wuchen noticed that there were plenty of seats, yet she had sat next to Yan Huang. She remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she was incredibly jealous. Hearing this, she said, "As the saying goes, a gentleman's friendship is as light as water. Silently enjoying tea and scenery is quite nice."

Li Yue said "Oh," and smiled mischievously. She then nudged Yan Huang with her elbow and asked, "Did you go to Xiaoyao Avenue for a stroll last night? I came to look for you, but you weren't there." Yu Wuchen, just keep pretending! I'll make you jealous to death!

Yan Huang calmly swallowed the tea in his mouth. Although there were no water droplets at the corners of his mouth, he seemed to habitually wipe them with a handkerchief and said, "Last night, several heroes of the martial world invited me to a small gathering, so I was not at the inn."

Not all the martial artists who came to Jiuhua Mountain were there to vie for the title of martial arts alliance leader, after all, there can only be one leader. A large portion of them were using this opportunity to recommend themselves to the royal families of the Three Kingdoms. After all, unless there was a need, the royal family would not lower themselves to watch such a grand martial arts event.

"So you didn't go? How about I take you for a walk? It's so much fun. Let these gentlemen stay here like water, while we go and enjoy ourselves." Li Yue said, standing up and starting to drag Yan Huang. Huangfu Jue

seemed to choke and coughed lightly, while Murong Juan remained in a statue-like pose, refusing to look up or look at her.

Yan Huang calmly stood up and politely took his leave of Yu Wuchen: "Thank you for your hospitality, Young Master Yu, but unfortunately, I value beauty over friendship, so Li Yue and I will take our leave first."

Yu Wuchen almost lost his smile, and Li Yue's lips twitched as she tried to suppress it. That's just how Yan Huang is; he can always say things that are most out of character with the most serious expression and tone.

Yu Wuchen didn't even know how he answered Yan Huang. He only knew that watching the two of them leave Huayun Pavilion hand in hand, he wanted to turn around and bang his head against a pillar.

Although he had achieved his goal of inviting Li Yue today, he still felt terrible!

Jinlu was caught in the trap, and Su Yingge had already been dragged into it. Next, would it be Yan Huang's turn...?

Li Yue and Yan Huang had just stepped out of Huayun Pavilion when the dragon servant guarding outside approached.

"Step back!" Yan Huang dismissed him, and the two of them strolled leisurely towards the outside of Linfeng Pavilion.

Reaching the shade of the trees outside, seeing no one around, they stopped simultaneously, turned their heads, and smiled at each other.

Yan Huang scooped Li Yue up in his arms, turned, and placed her between himself and the flowers, asking with barely concealed excitement, "Long time no see! How have you been these days?"

Li Yue looked up at his slightly thinner, gentle face, reached out to smooth a strand of his dark hair, tilted her head, and smiled sweetly, saying, "What do you think?"

"Without me by your side, it certainly wouldn't be good." Yan Huang reached out and took her hand, warmth flowing from his palm.

"Narcissistic!" Li Yue playfully scolded, breaking free from his embrace and pulling him towards the side gate of the manor.

Following the winding stone steps leading up the back mountain like a dragon, they ran in one breath to the viewing platform beneath the giant pine tree at the summit.

There was no sun today; the mountain wind whipped through the wisps of mist, and Jiuhua Mountain displayed its enigmatic beauty before them without reservation.

Unfortunately, neither of them was in the mood to appreciate the scenery.

Li Yue leaned against a pavilion pillar, her arms wrapped around the smooth, cool surface. Her long hair, billowing in the wind, gently brushed against Yan Huang's handsome face. She looked at him, her chest heaving slightly, a hint of nervousness in her eyes.

Yan Huang's slender, delicate fingers warmly touched Li Yue's snow-white cheek, then gently cradled it in his palm.

Li Yue lowered her eyes, seeing his Adam's apple bob slightly, then his body moved closer, a kiss landing on her forehead like a golden, translucent leaf in autumn sunlight, then, with soft breath, slowly moving down her cheek, her nose…

The leaf fell into her heart, rippling across her skin…

Li Yue tilted her head back, meeting his lips.

Of all the men around her, her relationship with Yan Huang had the most peculiar, yet also the smoothest and most natural. She wondered if this was related to their shared background.

After learning that her origins were connected to Empress

Dowager Dongyi, she had secretly wondered more than once: Who was Yan Huang? Pei Yanxi, the one she had mistaken for someone else, was the daughter of Prince Chen, Pei Bangqing. She couldn't help but wonder if Yan Huang might be Pei Bangqing's son? Back then, the Empress Dowager had simply switched her daughter with her nephew to secure her throne?

Recalling that day in Yan Huang's palace, when Yan Huang held a sword to Pei Bangqing's neck and Pei Bangqing said, "You cannot kill me," a deeper meaning

emerges now. What could possibly make a subject speak with such confidence to his ruler? Nothing, unless Yan Huang was his son; killing him would be patricide!

If that were true, then she and Yan Huang would be cousins.

Who cares who he is, who cares about blood relations? Love is love, and she would never let go because of these unknown reasons. How could she possibly enjoy it? Forum reputation guaranteed! High-grade silicone video, Fan Bingbing's genitals, realistically molded, highly realistic vulva shape, soft and delicate skin! Built-in large protrusions, closely matching female physiological structure, providing a more realistic experience... Intense and irresistible! Click to enter. Even the most

refined and gentle man, once his passion surges, can absolutely transform into a wolf.

After a passionate, breathless kiss, Li Yue felt the world spin. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself placed on the narrow wooden railing of the pavilion by Yan Huang.

The man above her had bright eyes, his cheeks flushed, and he was breathing heavily.

Li Yue released her arms from his shoulders, reached out and tugged at a strand of his hair, and whispered, "Don't tell me you're planning to devour me here?"

Yan Huang smiled, his teeth white as jade, and said, "I just wanted to kiss you properly, but I was afraid your neck would get sore."

Li Yue feigned annoyance, "Are you laughing at me for being too short?"

"I'm annoyed that you're too sweet..." Along with the words, Yan Huang's soft, sweet lips fell.

...

A moment later, Yan Huang leaned against the railing, facing the wind, while Li Yue lay down, her head resting on his lap, glancing sideways at the sea of flowers on the mountainside, like snow.

Gardenias should bloom in April or May, but the humid and cool climate of Jiuhua Mountain delayed even the gardenias on the mountainside from blooming.

The mountain wind rustled their clothes, and Yan Huang's hair brushed against Li Yue's face. Li Yue brushed it away and looked at the man gazing at the distant mountains.

His eyes were clear and his expression calm, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

Looking at his resolute jawline, so similar to Pei Bangqing's, Li Yue reached out a flower branch and scratched his neck.

He looked down, his previously vacant gaze softening instantly, and laughed, "Naughty!"

"How will you cover up Pei Yanxi's matter?" Li Yue asked.

Last night, Murong Juan said he was using a flower as a gift; in Yong'an, it wasn't hard to imagine where he could have borrowed this flower.

"It's strange, the Empress Dowager doesn't seem to care much about her disappearance, at least not all her energy has been devoted to finding her." Yan Huang was completely candid with her. He knew about Murong Juan's relationship with her.

Thinking of Murong Juan, his eyes darkened slightly, and he felt a pang of guilt.

"She allowed you to come to Jiuhua Mountain, probably so you could see if she was here, right?" Li Yue looked into the distance, her expression blank.

"No, actually, she asked me to invite you to Yong'an as a guest. I just happened to be passing through Jiuhua Mountain, and sure enough, I ran into you, you restless fellow." Yan Huang said with a hint of indulgence in his smile.

"Me?" Li Yue suddenly came to her senses. The Empress Dowager Dongyi invited her to Yong'an as a guest? Why? Could it be that she already knew about her background?

She remembered that day in Yan Huang's palace, when she was supposed to be arrested, but the Empress Dowager saw the tattoo on her shoulder and suddenly stopped the guards who were arresting her, and then asked some questions about her mother. Actually, she had long felt that the Empress Dowager's behavior was abnormal, but she hadn't thought much about it before she knew about her background.

Could it be that she had already harbored suspicions about Pei Yanxi, and that day, she had become interested in her?

But she had already filled in the birthmark on her shoulder into a flower shape; there was no reason for her to see that part was a birthmark.

"I'm not going," she blurted out.

"Yeah, I think you'd better not go either," Yan Huang agreed.

The way he said it seemed to carry a different meaning, and Li Yue couldn't help but look up at him, asking, "Why?"

Yan Huang lowered his eyes, gently stroking her fair cheek, and smiled slightly, saying, "Because there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, there's no need to rush."

*

Before noon, the two returned to the manor for lunch.

Upon entering the manor, they sensed something unusual. Back at the Jade Tea Pavilion, the observant Long Nu explained their concerns.

The manor was unusually quiet and solemn because: Ye Qianxun, the master of the Blood Shadow Palace, had arrived.

Everyone in the martial arts world knew that the Blood Shadow Palace and Yuexiao Manor had a deep-seated feud from countless lifetimes ago, and in recent years had been filled with open and covert struggles and bloodshed.

Since the Yu family became the leader of the martial arts alliance, members of the Blood Shadow Palace had disappeared from the martial arts tournament. Ye Qianxun's uninvited arrival was highly provocative, and coupled with the numerous rumors circulating about his martial arts skills and behavior in recent years, it inevitably raised questions: Could this year's martial arts tournament proceed as smoothly and peacefully as in previous years?

Hearing that he had only brought a dozen or so people with him, while he displayed his imposing presence and attracted much attention, Yu Zhanhua also showed his extraordinary demeanor.

He personally came out of the manor to greet them and arranged for them to stay in a superior courtyard of Yuexiao Manor.

Yuexiao Manor was vast, divided into several independent areas. The area where Yan Huang and Jin Lü were staying was devoid of martial arts figures because they had been arranged in other areas. Ye Qianxun was also a martial arts figure, so his residence was some distance away.

Mentioning Ye Qianxun, Li Yue's heart was filled with mixed feelings again. It would have been better if things had remained at an impasse as before, but she had invited him by letter in Huangcheng, yet he hadn't come. If they met again, it would inevitably be awkward.

Well, it was fine. They started here, and they should end here as well. Was this considered a good beginning and a good end?

After lunch, on a whim, Li Yue asked Yan Huang to inscribe the two characters "Phoenix City" for her. He was immediately impressed; the same two characters, under his brush, possessed a profound, powerful, and domineering quality. The soft brush tip conveyed the imposing aura of swords and spears—truly befitting the master of Wuyi Tower.

Li Yue was overjoyed, giving him several kisses on the cheek as a reward. Then, she happily returned to the Souchun Pavilion with his calligraphy.

Just as she strolled along the willow-lined lakeside path in the courtyard, she saw a figure lingering in the distance. As she approached, she saw it was Huangfu Jue.

(The following text is a separate excerpt): Li Yue looked at him, consumed by jealousy .

Although he hadn't spoken a word to her throughout the journey, she knew he often watched her unnoticed.

He assumed she was too focused on the golden thread to notice, unaware that Qin Li Yue's ability to multitask was unparalleled.

Having trampled her into the dust back then, why was he now observing her from the shadows?

Seeing him pacing back and forth, seemingly conflicted, Li Yue lowered her gaze and sighed softly.

What a mess she'd made! This man had hurt her deeply, both physically and emotionally, yet every time she saw him, her first thought was: she had been pregnant with his child.

Once this thought surfaced, all sorts of memories, both appropriate and inappropriate, flooded back, leaving her only with a helpless sigh.

Lost in thought for a moment, she looked up again, only to find he had already noticed her, standing motionless in the shade of the willows a few feet away, watching her.

This was the shortest path from Yu Ming Pavilion to Sou Chun Pavilion; if she didn't go this way, she would have to circle around the looping waterway in the middle of the lake. Taking detours wasn't in Qin Li Yue's nature, so seeing him not moving, she took the initiative and walked over.

Huangfu Jue watched her walk towards him step by step, his heart inexplicably pounding. The awkward and hurried emotions made him want to turn around and leave, but he forcibly restrained himself.

Now, for him, was undoubtedly the best opportunity to apologize. He knew she was always busy, and it was rare for her to be alone...

The thought brought a bitter taste to his mouth, but he wasn't surprised. Watching her and Jinlu being so affectionate along the way, he felt almost nothing but bitterness.

Li Yue ignored the conflicted look in his eyes. Seeing him blocking her path, she asked casually, "What's wrong?"

This was only the second time she'd spoken to him in over a year; the first was, "Is Guandu here?"

He had rehearsed his apology a thousand times in his mind, but now, looking into her clear, emotionless eyes, his mind went blank. He didn't know where to begin, and just stared at her frozen in place.

Li Yue clearly had no patience for this game of who blinked first. She pushed him aside and continued walking.

After a few steps, "I'm sorry," the man behind her blurted out hurriedly, his tone stiff. Clearly, these three words were very unfamiliar to him.

Li Yue paused.

Huangfu Jue watched her retreating figure, his perpetually icy expression melting away, replaced by deep remorse and regret. Unfortunately, Li Yue didn't turn back, so she couldn't see it.

"Please forgive my selfishness and careless words back then. People often do unbelievable things in extreme pain. Honestly, I didn't want to hurt you, really." He spoke each word clearly and earnestly.

Li Yue lowered her eyes. Along the way, he had appeared before her several times, only to be interrupted by Jinlu at the last moment. Was it all just to say these words to her?

Actually, she had always been reluctant to recall that day; it was a lose-lose situation. She was in pain, and he wasn't happy either.

If there was any fault, it wasn't anything terribly wrong.

Initially, she seduced him with ill intentions. Later, during the rescue of the Empress Dowager and Jiang Hanyu, she miscarried, causing her immense pain, which he remained unaware of. Then, he accused her of patricide and matricide…

Why should she care so much? She had indeed killed her parents, though now it seems they weren't her biological parents, but what he said at the time was true, not fabricated.

Her intense pain and suffering stemmed from two reasons. First, she lacked inner strength; she herself was afraid to touch this horrific wound, and even more so, she refused to let others touch it. But Huangfu Jue unexpectedly touched it, causing her pain and anger. Second, if a stranger had said such things to her, her first reaction would have been to cut off his head, not to grieve. The fact that Huangfu Jue's words caused her such anguish only showed that, unknowingly, this man had already occupied a place in her heart—at least, the father of her first child, a fact that could likely never be erased. Is there anything more intimate in a relationship between a man and a woman?

Well, to be honest, the conflict between her and Huangfu Jue was more about spite than resentment. After all, it was a fact that she hadn't been able to protect his mother.

Given their situation, it was better to let bygones be bygones and forget each other.

"That day, when your mother was dying, she asked me to pass on a message to you: 'A beautiful jade is hidden in a stubborn stone, a lotus rises from the mud; where troubles arise, enlightenment is found…'" At the end, Li Yue paused slightly, now unsure whether her mother was speaking to him or her.

"A beautiful jade is hidden in a stubborn stone, a lotus rises from the mud…" It sounded so much like a reflection of Huangfu Jue's fate!

But since Huangfu Jue already had Jiang Hanyu, why would his mother emphasize to her that her son was a beautiful jade in a stubborn stone, a lotus in the mud? She must be overthinking it.

Turning around, she was startled again.

Huangfu Jue's eyes were filled with tears, his expression a mixture of sorrow and emotion. Seeing Li Yue turn to look at him, he almost hastily turned away.

Li Yue paused, then slowly turned and walked away silently.

*

That night, while Jinlu was taking a bath, Li Yue sat on the swing in the courtyard, gazing blankly at the full moon that had just risen above the eaves.

Today is June 15th, and the martial arts tournament officially begins tomorrow. The competition consists of many rounds, and the final showdown will take about ten days.

If it were only for selecting a martial arts leader, it wouldn't normally take this long, but the various sects in the martial arts world also want to use this opportunity to distinguish their ranks, so the numerous rounds naturally extend the time.

Ye Qianxun… he's probably here to compete for the title of martial arts leader.

If it's him, Yu Jiuxiao's chances of successfully ascending to the position will be reduced by at least half…

Just as she was thinking this, something suddenly flew towards her from her right. She instantly snapped back to reality, caught it, and saw it was another note. After glancing at its contents, her eyebrows instantly furrowed into an inverted V shape. She looked left and right, broke off a thorny rose vine, and stormed out.

In the wooded path at the northeast corner of the courtyard lake embankment, the bright moonlight dappled the ground and the man leaning against a tree, waiting quietly.

With a few light leaps and graceful steps, Li Yue lashed out with a vine the moment her feet touched the shore, shouting angrily, "Su Yingge, you dare to come see me?!"

She expected him to dodge, but he stood like a statue, unyielding, taking the full force of Li Yue's whip. Several bloody welts immediately appeared on his cheek and neck. The moonlight was dim, making them difficult to see clearly, but a dark liquid could be vaguely seen seeping from his fair skin, trickling down.

Li Yue froze.

Su Yingge slowly wiped his neck, looking down at the blood on his fingertips, his brows unfurrowed: "He certainly holds a special place in your heart."

Li Yue looked at him, suppressing the slight pain rising in her heart, and said hatefully, "Even if he's just a friend, you used me to poison him, I can't forgive you!"

"If he hadn't kissed you, how could he have been poisoned? I wish I could kill him!" Su Yingge suddenly looked up, his eyes flashing with intense emotion.

"You still care after all!" Li Yue froze for a moment, biting her lip.

"Who wouldn't mind? The key is whether they care more about you or themselves," he admitted frankly.

Li Yue looked at him, silent; he seemed like a stranger to her at that moment.

Looking into Li Yue's eyes, he looked away somewhat awkwardly, and after a moment, said, "Yes, I'm jealous, but more than jealousy, I feel resentment. Li Yue, in my heart, you've never been a superficial person. Why can't you see him clearly? Is he weak? Is he the one who needs your protection? Don't you really know what he's done and what consequences it has caused? If you can indulge him again and again just because he can cry and act spoiled, then..." He paused, turning his face away with considerable resentment and disappointment, "I really don't know what to say anymore."

"What kind of things can't you tell me openly, but instead have to resort to such roundabout and scheming methods? Su Yingge, in my heart, you've never been a two-faced person," Li Yue said.

"If there were any other way, do you think I would choose to do this? Do you think I enjoy deceiving you?" Su Yingge's tone was impassioned as she pointed towards the direction of the Shuchun Pavilion. "That person is as cold as iron, impervious to swords and spears. You are the only one who can get close to him. Yes, I did have my reasons for using you to poison him, but I also wanted to see if he would really be poisoned, if he would truly be unguarded towards you. If he is, then even if I die at his hands in the future, I can rest assured, because at least he is sincere towards you."

"He promised me that he wouldn't touch you or your family. Why did you put yourself in a life-or-death situation with him?" Li Yue frowned, her heart conflicted.

Su Yingge smiled bitterly, "There are many ways to live. If living is unbearably painful, worse than death, then death is better. Li Yue, if you want to know why I treated you this way, I can only say that I couldn't bear to see my father and my friends suffering. It's laughable that I, who have always been arrogant about my medical skills and have healed countless people, couldn't save the two people closest to me. Moon Gu, that's an ancient evil spell. Jinlu brought it back to the world. I tried my best, tried everything, but I still couldn't neutralize this spell. I could only let him also be poisoned by a poison that no one but me can cure, in exchange for the antidote for Moon Gu. That's the whole truth behind how I poisoned him through you."

Li Yue lowered her eyes. The conflict between them, the complexity of the matter, seemed somewhat beyond her expectations.

"Why, why didn't you let me ask him for the antidote first?" She raised her eyes. Jinlu's complete obedience to her gave her the confidence to ask this question.

“Because I’m certain he won’t give it to you. If I send you to ask for the antidote first, it will inevitably alert him and make him wary. Now that he’s been poisoned by me, you can try asking him. If he’s willing to give it to you, then consider it my petty suspicion, and I’ll personally apologize to him,” Su Yingge said.

Li Yue pursed her lips, dropped the vine, and turned to leave. After a few steps, she froze, suddenly turned around, and asked, “You just said friend, which friend?”

…

In a secluded corner of the woods behind the mountain, Li Yue stood at the edge of the woods, dumbfounded, watching the man tearing at his long hair, running and rolling around in the woods like a madman.

He looked extremely painful, but he didn’t scream or shout. However, the suppressed groans conveyed his pain far more than any screams.

Su Yingge had already pounced on him, trying to subdue his madness, but he wildly shook her off. She pounced again and again, only to be shaken off again and again. Soon, the two men were rolling around on the ground, almost fighting.

Su Yingge's strength was clearly inferior to Murong Juan's, and he sustained several injuries in the chaos. However, he ultimately achieved his goal, stuffing a pill into Murong Juan's mouth. It wasn't an antidote, but rather a pain reliever for the Moon Gu.

Both were exhausted. After Murong Juan calmed down, Su Yingge got off him and lay down beside him, panting heavily.

Li Yue slowly covered her mouth with her hand, then turned and ran away.

After a long while, when both had regained their breath, Su Yingge asked, "Did you abandon her because you were afflicted with the Moon Gu?"

Murong Juan looked at the ghostly treetops overhead and asked instead of answering, "Did Yan Huang find you?"

Su Yingge's tone carried a hint of anger: "If it weren't for him, how long were you going to keep this from me?"

"Can you cure it?" Murong Juan asked calmly.

Su Yingge choked, turning her head away, but a sharp pain shot through the wound on her neck.

"We're together now," he said quietly after a while.

慕容倦呼吸停滞了一下，“我知道。”他坐起身来，顿了顿，“你好好照顾她。”抛下一句起身便走。

“你个懦夫，你逃吧！”苏吟歌豁然坐起，怒道。

换做以前的慕容倦，听说他和他心爱的女人在一起了，至少也会将他按在地上暴揍一顿，可如今，他却只是这样默默地走开。

他惊诧，但更多的却是不安。慕容倦这样的反应让他觉得他会去死。

慕容倦脚步一顿，“你知道，她是东仪琛王府的郡主么？”他转过身，看着苏吟歌，“你知道，我为何回东仪么？还要说更多么？”

*

薮春馆，金缕正发飙似的指挥着手下众人到处找璃月，见璃月自己回来，如往常一般笑嘻嘻地黏上来。

璃月拉着他来到楼上的房间，将他按坐在椅子上，“把月蛊的解药给我。”她开门见山。

Jinlu looked up at her, his face radiant and flawless. "I didn't."

Liyue's expression froze, and she slowly released her hand from his shoulder.

"Sister Yue, don't misunderstand. It's not that I didn't want to give it to you, I really didn't," he explained.

"Do you think I'll believe you?" Liyue's eyes turned cold, filled with a hint of disappointment.

“The Moon Gu was indeed developed based on ancient records, but from the very beginning, I never intended to provide an antidote for those afflicted. Furthermore, to prevent the ancient book from falling into the wrong hands, I burned it after the Moon Gu was successfully developed,” Jinlu said sincerely.

Liyue turned and sat down beside her, remaining silent for a moment before suddenly laughing, rubbing her forehead in self-deprecation: “Su Yingge is right, you are the one who doesn’t need my protection. Ye Qianxun, Huangfu Jue, Su Yingge, and Murong Juan, Jinlu, are you going to harm all the men around me one by one?”

Jinlu’s eyes narrowed, and after a slight pause, she said urgently, “Sister Yue, I admit I did harm Ye Qianxun and Huangfu Jue, but Su Yingge and Murong Juan really have nothing to do with me. I didn’t harm them.” “

You personally developed the Moon Gu, but you didn’t develop an antidote. Even if you didn’t develop an antidote, you should at least remember the formula. Otherwise, what if you were afflicted with this Gu yourself one day? Would you just sit and wait to die?” Not wanting to argue with her, Liyue glanced at her sideways, cutting straight to the heart of the matter.

Jinlu lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes obscuring them, preventing her from discerning his thoughts.

After a long while, he whispered, "I do remember the antidote's formula."

Liyue's eyes lit up.

"But I can't give it to you now. Sister Yue, once I ascend the throne, I will definitely give you the antidote." Jinlu looked up at her.

"Why?" Liyue frowned.

"Because Yun Qian was also controlled by me using the Moon Gu. If Su Yingge gets the antidote, Yun Qian will get it too. If they unite to overthrow me, I'll be in great trouble. I don't want to fail at this final moment, Sister Yue, can you understand me?" Jinlu's eyes pleaded.

After ascending the throne, Su Yingge's family's lives could be spared out of respect for Liyue. As for the Heavenly Saint Palace and the Canal Gang, there was no other way but annihilation.

*

Leaving the Soukhun Pavilion, Liyue's mind was in turmoil, and she wandered aimlessly along the garden paths.

Both Murong Juan and Su Yingge's father are afflicted with the Moon Gu, suffering excruciating pain every month. Su Yingge is determined to obtain the antidote at all costs.

Meanwhile, Jinlu claims that if the antidote is given, his throne will be in jeopardy, and losing his throne means certain death. He's even willing to disregard his own current poisoning by Su Yingge for this reason.

She can't bear to see Murong Juan suffer from the Gu's effects, nor can she bear to let Jinlu take the risk.

But now, Jinlu and Su Yingge are clearly at loggerheads, and anything could happen at any moment…

Just thinking about it gives her a splitting headache. The reason is that she cares about both sides, finds it hard to let go of either, yet both sides see each other as a monstrous threat, a fight to the death…

And then there's Yu Wuchen. That night she encountered Yun Qian, who clearly came from Linfeng Pavilion. How did Yu Wuchen end up with him? Did they… reach some kind of agreement?

What should she do?

Ugh, so frustrating! So confusing!

She can't help but think of Ye Qianxun.

Only now did she realize how precious his simplicity and straightforwardness were, but alas… it was too late.

If it were before, perhaps he would have rushed to find her without hesitation, but now…

Li Yue stopped, looked up, and realized she had unknowingly arrived at the side gate of the manor. Gazing into the distance, she saw the Milky Way reflected in the water, the forest rippling like waves.

A mountain breeze swept by, and she took a deep breath, her heart suddenly opening up again.

Tonight, her mind was in turmoil, with no one to confide in, and she couldn't sleep even if she went back. Why not follow in her footsteps, and savor the memories she hadn't forgotten but had to bury deep within?

*

The night was deep.

Linfeng Pavilion.

Yu Wuchen, who usually liked to sleep early, paced restlessly in his room. Thinking of how Li Yue had dragged Yan Huang away from Huayun Pavilion earlier that day, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.

Adding to that, he had heard at noon that Ye Qianxun had come to the manor again… In short, it felt like everything was against him.

He really wanted to capture Li Yue and keep her by his side, so that she would only have eyes for him, just like before.

But now, look, she doesn't even know where she put him. She's been here for two days, and she hasn't come to see him unless he invites her.

Hmph, what's so good about Yan Huang? Isn't he just the emperor of Dongyi? He'll have three palaces and six courtyards in the future, let's see if she still likes him!

Ugh, so annoying, where is that guy now? Who is he with?

Should he send someone to check? No, she'll find out.

Then... should he go himself?

No, no, that's too lewd and inappropriate. How could he, the dignified second young master of Yuexiao Manor, do something like stealing and eavesdropping?

What should he do? He's swallowed a mouthful of vinegar today, how can he sleep without some honey to balance it out?

Just as he was pacing back and forth, Chu Xiu mysteriously came in.

"Young master, my men report that they just saw Miss Qin go to the back mountain." Chu Xiu said.

Yu Wuchen paused, looked up at the window, and asked in confusion, "What's she doing in the back mountain in the middle of the night?"

Chu Xiu's expression became somewhat unnatural, and she whispered, "Young Master, have you forgotten? Ye Qianxun also went to the back mountain more than an hour ago."

Yu Wuchen's expression froze. Tonight, his mind was a complete mess because of Li Yue, and he hadn't paid any attention to what Chu Xiu had reported to him.

After realizing what had happened, he was filled with rage.

You, Ye Qianxun, running to Jiuhua Mountain to meet my woman in secret, do you think I, Yu Wuchen, am dead?

Immediately, he moved like the wind and rushed out the door.

(The following text is unrelated and appears to be a separate excerpt

: "Two years have passed since I last came here, but the forest in the back mountain of Jiuhua Mountain seems unchanged.

Using the dappled moonlight filtering through the trees, Li Yue slowly followed the old path, memories flooding her mind like a tide.")

Looking back now, everything seems predestined. On that heartbroken day, if she hadn't wandered aimlessly to this place, she wouldn't have met Ye Qianxun. Without meeting Ye Qianxun, she certainly wouldn't have waited until the early hours of the next day to leave, and thus wouldn't have unexpectedly encountered Murong Juan, who was using the alias Qu Liushang. If she hadn't met Murong Juan, perhaps she wouldn't have gone to the tavern where Sister A-Sha worked, wouldn't have castrated the prince, wouldn't have encountered Huangfu Jue and his group, wouldn't have met Yan Huang during her escape, wouldn't have reached an agreement with Guan Du, wouldn't have gone to Zhu Wumen, wouldn't have fled to Nanfo Tianyi Island after castrating the prince, and wouldn't have met Su Yingge, Jin Lu…

Everything seemed to originate from this place. She was unaware, yet she had already strayed further and further away.

Want to turn back? Time cannot be reversed.

She didn't want to turn back either. This journey had been filled with both sorrow and joy, but the memories of these past two years were so vivid, her life so fulfilling. If she hadn't met them, she would probably have wasted another two years in some brothel or red-light district.

If she had to choose between a mundane emptiness and a fulfilling, eventful life, she would undoubtedly choose the latter, even if the ending was tragic.

Like the flowers blooming in the courtyard of Yiqing Residence, she didn't seek eternity, only to have been there and blossomed.

Thinking this way, all the obstacles before her seemed insignificant; with an open mind, any difficulty could be overcome.

Yes, she needed to go back to find Su Yingge, Murong Juan, and Jinlu to mediate and resolve the conflict. Tomorrow, she would go to find Yu Wuchen to see what was going on between him and Yun Qian.

She looked up, sighed, and stretched. Just as she was about to turn back, she caught a glimpse of a faint light in the distance.

She turned her head and stared intently, her heart leaping.

It was the cave where she and Ye Qianxun had hidden two years ago. A faint fire flickered on the bushes at the cave entrance, indicating someone was lighting a campfire inside.

Who could it be? Could it be him?

She hesitated, unsure whether she should go over.

Since he had refused her invitation by letter, why was he in this cave now? Besides their shared memories, what else was there?

Or was he refusing her invitation simply to wait for her to come to him, to save face for himself?

She sighed. Since the likes of Jin Lusu and Yingge had come into her life, she truly felt that Ye Qianxun's little quirks were insignificant.

Calming herself, she slowly walked towards the cave.

If it was him, it would be good to see how he was doing after half a year.

If it wasn't him… any brat who dared to trespass into the cave of their memories would be kicked to the ground!

The thick undergrowth gradually thinned, and when her feet finally touched the scattered pebbles, she had entered the cave.

Sure enough, a campfire burned inside, and beside it, a dark-skinned man sat against the stone wall, head bowed, lost in thought.

Without even seeing his face, just his short, feathery hair and familiar figure told her it was him.

He seemed indifferent to who she was, his movements slow and nonchalant as he looked up, yet the instant his gaze fell upon her was cold and dark, its chilling killing intent enough to make most people tremble.

Clearly, he didn't like anyone trespassing into this cave that held special meaning for him.

The moment he saw Li Yue, his cold, dark gaze froze, the fiery red flames flickering across his still-frosty, beautiful face—a dreamlike, captivating sight.

Li Yue looked at him; he was both familiar and strange. Familiar because his current cold, bloodthirsty aura was strikingly similar to how he looked when they first met. The reason she called him a stranger was because for a long time, his image to her was no different from Tanlang's. Now, it seemed he had finally emerged from Tanlang's shadow.

Heaven knows, she had initially liked him just the way he was now.

He stood up, gazing at Liyue across the campfire.

His face was expressionless, but a hint of surprise...or rather, a slight delight, was clearly hidden in his eyes.

Liyue felt a pang of inexplicable sadness. Seeing that he didn't intend to speak, she forced a smile and said, "Long time no see, what a coincidence." To be honest, saying such things in the place where she had forced herself on him felt incredibly strange.

Ye Qianxun didn't reply. Just as Liyue felt a little awkward, he suddenly spoke: "Sitting here just now, I kept wondering if you would come."

Liyue was slightly taken aback.

"I waited here, actually certain you wouldn't come, but inexplicably I wanted to keep waiting. The moment I looked up, I thought I was dreaming." He continued rambling on, not caring whether Liyue reacted or not.

"Letting go for love, preferring to endure the pain of losing you rather than staying by your side—ultimately, it's because I didn't love you deeply enough. I admit, I can't give you up, but I don't want to force you. As long as you love me, regardless of whether you ultimately choose me or not, I will choose you. Tell me, do you love me? Li Yue, do you love me?" He looked at her, asking her with a mature and steady tone he had never used before, his voice filled with deep affection.

Li Yue didn't know what blurred her vision, or why.

She only knew that the tide of emotion in her heart was surging uncontrollably, and she could only act on instinct.

She ran around the campfire and threw herself into his arms.

Ye Qianxun stretched out his arms and hugged her tightly, his chest swelled with the joy and excitement of finding her again, yet he was still unwilling to give up, saying, "You haven't answered me yet."

Li Yue buried her face in his chest and muttered, "Answer me first, why didn't you come when I wrote you a letter inviting you?"

Ye Qianxun lowered his head and kissed her hair, saying, "I was in seclusion practicing my skills at the time and didn't receive it. I only saw it when I came out of seclusion half a month ago."

Li Yue: "..."

Ye Qianxun: "Now it's your turn.

" Li Yue pouted: "I'm not telling you. " Ye Qianxun

: "..."

Ye Qianxun: "Do you need a beating?"

Li Yue: "Yes."

Ye Qianxun: "..." He started to touch her.

Li Yue struggled and pushed him away: "You actually believe me?"

"Haven't you heard of not lying in front of a real person?" Ye Qianxun seriously picked her up.

"You're incorrigible!" Li Yue laughed.

The sounds of laughter suddenly filled the cave.

...

Outside the cave.

Yu Wuchen stood there frozen like a statue.

Sticky blood dripped from between his right fingers, and it took him a long time to react.

The two "Flying Plum Blossoms" he had intended to use against Ye Qianxun were deeply embedded in his flesh. He glanced down at them, then suddenly flicked his sleeve and vanished silently into the depths of the dense forest.

*

Inside the cave, the light and heat of the campfire grew weaker, but the atmosphere grew increasingly intense.

Ye Qianxun leaned against the cave wall, while Li Yue, disheveled, straddled him, her small hands resting on his shoulders, deftly swaying her hips as she rode him.

Their rapid breathing, mingled with the soft sounds of wetness, echoed faintly in the cave. The ecstasy continuously stimulated Ye Qianxun's taut nerves, and he stared, mesmerized, at the woman riding him, her face flushed.

Her lotus-colored gauze dress was piled haphazardly at the back of her arms, revealing her smooth, curved shoulders and neck almost perfectly in his view. Her skin, glistening with a thin layer of sweat, shone like a snow-capped mountain bathed in the firelight, reflecting a pure, crystal-like light. Her proudly erect breasts rose and fell with her movements, appearing and disappearing beneath her dress.

Ye Qianxun realized that his self-control was often zero in her presence.

He straightened up, one hand encircling her slender waist and kissing her neck, the other pressing against her smooth, sweaty buttocks, and thrusting upwards uncontrollably.

"Ah! Too deep! Mmm..." His sudden attack caught Li Yue off guard, causing her to cry out in surprise, only to be silenced by his lips.

A man who had abstained for half a year, once aroused, was completely deaf to reason. Fortunately, his stamina was also insufficient; Li Yue had just reached her peak in his frenzy when he surrendered.

Li Yue lay on his chest, panting, still vaguely thinking: It seems having too many men isn't good either. Since being with Su Yingge, it seems like I haven't had many nights alone… Hmm, my body feels a bit overused.

After a while, she calmed her rapid breathing, extending her fingertips to draw circles on his chest muscles, which looked especially sexy due to his sweat. Listening to his still-sounding breaths in her ear, she asked, "Have you come here to compete for the position of martial arts alliance leader?"

"Yes." He reached out and gently brushed aside her long hair that clung to his chest, looking at her rosy cheeks.

"What are your chances?" Li Yue asked.

He seemed a little ticklish from her teasing, reaching out to grasp her mischievous hand.

"I never underestimate myself, nor do I underestimate my opponents. If you insist on asking, I can only say, fifty percent," he said honestly.

"You'll definitely win. Yu Jiuxiao is no match for you," Li Yue said confidently.

Ye Qianxun's tone carried a hint of a smile as he said, "You trust me that much?"

"Of course! My man is no match for the likes of Yu Jiuxiao!" Li Yue said, turning her head to nip a small, sharp bite at his chest.

Ye Qianxun winced in pain, his brows furrowing slightly, but then a doting smile spread across his lips.

"Hey, didn't you say Yu Lianqiu is your half-sister? Why is she back?" Li Yue suddenly remembered this.

Because she insisted on marrying me, and when I refused, she went on a hunger strike. In the end, I had no choice but to let her come back. Ye Qianxun thought to himself. In the past, he would have definitely said it out loud. However, remembering how many times he had angered her by speaking too directly and not knowing how to change his approach, he had finally learned to be more tactful this time.

“She just can’t accept the fact that I’m her brother, and she can’t adapt to life on the snow mountain. She cries and begs to come back all the time, so I had no choice but to let her come back,” he said.

“She stayed in the Blood Shadow Palace for so long, and now she’s suddenly back unharmed. Won’t the Yu Clan be suspicious?” Li Yue asked.

“I was worried too, but now it seems they don’t suspect her background.” Ye Qianxun’s wolfish claws restlessly rested on her bare shoulder.

No suspicion? Li Yue became even more suspicious. She couldn’t speak for others, but Yu Jiuxiao was the most petty and suspicious person. She knew this better than anyone in the five years she had been here. With his personality, how could he not be suspicious of Yu Lianqiu, a daughter born out of wedlock?

Hmm, there must be something fishy going on here.

“No matter what, no matter what happens, I won’t allow you to die for her. If you risk your life to protect her, I’ll be the first to kill her,” Li Yue threatened, raising her eyes.

Ye Qianxun naturally sensed the care and concern in her words. He reached out and cupped her smooth cheek, saying, "You saved my life. How could I give it away so easily without your permission?"

"That's more like it," Li Yue smiled and snuggled back against his chest.

The two chatted about this and that for a while. Li Yue was getting drowsy when she suddenly realized that the weapon that hadn't withdrawn from her body was quietly swelling again. Startled, she quickly pushed him away, making an excuse that she felt too sticky and uncomfortable and needed to go back to take a bath. It was clear

that Ye Qianxun was truly unsatisfied, but he didn't force her. After they tidied up, they had just stepped outside the cave when Ye Qianxun suddenly stopped and reached out to block Li Yue's step.

Only then did Li Yue belatedly notice a faint smell of blood in the air.

Ye Qianxun squatted down, plucked a bloodstained blade of grass, sniffed it lightly, and said, "This person left no more than an hour ago."

Li Yue sighed, wondering if the two of them had been too engrossed in their time in the cave to notice being spied on.

"Silent and unseen, this person's lightness skill is superb, but..." Ye Qianxun deduced, looking down at the blood-stained blades of grass, "What's with this blood?"

"We must find this person. Perhaps he overheard our conversation about Yu Lianqiu," Li Yue said.

Ye Qianxun nodded and said, "This person came and went without disturbing me. There are very few people in the martial arts world who have mastered lightness skills to such an extreme degree. Within the Yu family, there should only be Yu Zhanhua and his son Yu Jiuxiao. If they are martial arts practitioners, those with such lightness skills must be prominent figures in their respective sects. They should act with discretion. However, after listening to our conversation, without any evidence, they probably won't report us to the Yu family for the time being. I still have time."

*

Ye Qianxun originally wanted to take Li Yue back to his residence, but Li Yue refused.

After bathing at the Shuchun Pavilion, Li Yue was very tired, but she forced herself to stay awake and went to the Yuming Pavilion to find Su Yingge.

She asked the guard on night watch and found out which room Su Yingge was assigned to. It was almost dawn, but the light in his room was still on.

When he opened the door and saw Li Yue, he was stunned for a moment, then turned around and went back into his room without saying a word.

Li Yue followed him inside, closed the door, and said, "Jinlu promised that he would produce the antidote once he ascends the throne."

"A good delaying tactic, but what can we do if he doesn't hand it over then?" Su Yingge sat under the lamp, his cheek and neck wounds already treated, but still looked gruesome.

Li Yue felt a pang of heartache and guilt, and went over, saying, "Isn't he also poisoned by you? I just hope you can resolve this peacefully as much as possible."

Su Yingge turned his face away, remaining silent.

Li Yue reached out, wanting to touch his cheek, but hesitated, worried about hurting him. After a moment, she asked, "Does it still hurt?"

Su Yingge turned his back, saying irritably, "Just watch over Jinlu, what do you care if I'm in pain?"

Seeing his sullen expression, Li Yue was both amused and annoyed. This was probably the first time he had shown jealousy in front of her.

“I was wrong, I shouldn’t have hit you, but you were wrong too, why did you just stand there like an idiot? You seem so smart usually, but you’re incredibly stupid when it really matters.” Li Yue poked his shoulder.

Su Yingge shrugged and said, “If I dodged, would you stop hitting me? Would you stop if you didn’t hit me? I’m going to get hit either way, why should I waste my energy doing this monkey show?”

Li Yue thought about his words and realized he was right.

She immediately moved closer and gently wrapped her arms around his shoulders from behind, smiling sheepishly, “Okay, I was wrong, I apologize. But you have to remember this lesson, and don’t try to scheme against me again.”

“That Jinlu bastard is more cunning than anyone else, why don’t you teach him a lesson? You’re just biased!” Su Yingge said angrily without turning around.

“He’s a child.” Li Yue blurted out.

Su Yingge was obviously furious at her reason, and he suddenly stood up and went to the inner room, angrily saying, “If you’re so fond of him being a child, why don’t you just adopt him as your son!”

Li Yue stared in disbelief, son? Having not experienced his sharp tongue for so long, she was still a bit unaccustomed to it.

Seeing Su Yingge's jealousy overflowing and seemingly unstoppable, she scratched her forehead and said, "You're being unreasonable. He came to see you out of kindness, and you don't appreciate it. Humph, I'm going to see my little Juanjuan." With that, she turned and left.

Little Juanjuan? Su Yingge felt a chill, but before she could shake off the goosebumps, seeing her about to leave, he poked his head out from the inner room and called out, "He's asleep."

Li Yue ignored him and disappeared outside the door in a few steps.

Watching her clothes sway and disappear outside the door, Su Yingge was stunned for a moment, then angrily tore at the brocade curtain at the moon gate and kicked the wall.

This biased, damned woman, would it kill her to coax him a little more? Would it kill her? Flip the table and scratch the wall—!

The room was dimly lit, and Li Yue assumed he was asleep. She gently pushed open the window and slipped inside, only to find a man leaning against the bed and another sitting on the edge in the darkness. After her eyes adjusted to the dim light, Li Yue recognized Murong Juan leaning against the bed and Yan Huang sitting on the edge.

"You...you two..." Li Yue stood in the room, her hand trembling as she pointed at the two men. Usually eloquent, she was now

too agitated to utter a single word. Although she desperately didn't want to think the wrong thing, in the dead of night, in a completely dark room, two grown men, one on the bed and one on the edge, so close together...what else could she think?!

Yan Huang and Murong Juan were also stunned. They hadn't expected anyone to suddenly intrude. If it were anyone else, such an intrusion wouldn't have been a problem; either of them could have easily killed the intruder. But the moment she opened the window, they both recognized her as Li Yue. They couldn't hide or kill her, so they had no choice but to remain in the same position and let her catch them in the act.

“Li Yue, don’t misunderstand. Today is the fifteenth, and his Moon Gu flared up. I came to see him, that’s all. Look, we’re both properly dressed, our hands and feet are neat, and our lips aren’t wet,” Yan Huang explained earnestly.

Li Yue hesitated before approaching to observe, and sure enough, the two seemed normal. She relaxed, but still looked at Yan Huang suspiciously, saying, “Why couldn’t he come to see you at any other time? Why sneak around like this so late at night…”

“It’s a habit… cough, um, Li Yue, it’s so late, what are you doing here?” Yan Huang inadvertently let slip a word and quickly coughed to change the subject.

Only then did Li Yue belatedly realize that, compared to Yan Huang, it seemed more suspicious for a woman to sneak into a man’s room so late at night, especially since she had just finished a passionate reminiscing with Yan Huang during the day.

This realization made her cheeks burn, but fortunately, the room was dark, so the two shouldn’t notice anything amiss.

“Well, Huanghuang, you should know that we’ve been friends for many years. I just found out today that he’s been infected with the Moon Gu, so I came to visit him,” Liyue said, feigning seriousness.

“Oh, visiting… why so late?” Yan Huang asked.

“Uh…” Liyue scratched her head. Tonight, she first beat up Su Yingge, then discovered that Murong Juan was infected with the Gu, then went back to confront Jinlu, then ran into Ye Qianxun and had a passionate encounter, then came to visit Su Yingge only to have him ungrateful and they argued, and then she rushed here without stopping.

She hadn’t wasted a single moment, she was just… a little busy.

But, this whole series of events was probably not something she could tell outsiders.

Speechless with embarrassment and anger, she grabbed Yan Huang and shoved him towards the door, snapping, "What do you care if I'm here early or late? I have something to say to him alone. Go back and wash up and go to sleep."

After pushing Yan Huang out the door, Li Yue turned to the bedside, looking at the man who remained silent. After a moment of hesitation, she asked, "Can you tell me, who put the Moon Gu on you?" "

Su Yingge is better than Jin Lu," he suddenly blurted out, seemingly unrelated.

Li Yue was stunned. A nameless rage suddenly welled up from the bottom of her heart. She stared at the man's eyes, which gleamed with a ghostly light in the darkness, and gritted her teeth as she asked, "Do you want to suggest who I should marry?"

"Su Yingge," he

said without hesitation, "Whether it's personality or family atmosphere, he's better than the others..." Before he could finish, Li Yue pounced on him, pinning him to the bed. She asked breathlessly, furious, "Are you Qu Liushang? Is the Qu Liushang you really the same person?"
