"Hey, what did you shove into my mouth?" Li Shang felt something suddenly slide down his throat.

"Aaaaaaahhhhhh, you ate my baby! I'm going to fight you to the death!" Shangguan Wei'er screamed in despair, prying open Li Shang's mouth as she did so.

"Ugh, ugh, you, you threw it in my mouth yourself! And, your Gu worms won't poison me to death, will they?" Li Shang asked desperately, feeling like the sky was about to collapse.

This is absolutely a catastrophe!

Shangguan Wei'er said uncertainly, "I don't know which treasure you ate. I have too many treasures, some are poisonous and some are not."

Li Shang lay down on the ground and shouted, "Then hurry up and find out which of your treasures I ate! I'm doomed, I'm going to fall into your hands today."

Shangguan Wei'er hurriedly took out the bottles and jars from her waist, placed them on the ground, and carefully checked them one by one. After checking for a while, she found that none of them were missing.

Shangguan Wei'er thought to herself, "Strange, this shouldn't be the case. How could there be no missing ones? He clearly swallowed one!"

Seeing Shangguan Wei'er deep in thought, Li Shang felt that he was doomed.

At this moment, Shangguan Wei'er's head stiffened, and as if suddenly remembering something, she reached into her bosom and pulled out a blue porcelain bottle. She opened it shakily and peered inside, only to find the bottle empty!

Shangguan Wei'er felt like her world was collapsing. How could it be... it could be the Love Poison!

The Shangguan family's Love-Longing Gu is fed to women from birth, and they only have one in their lifetime, which can only be fed to the person they love most. Now, her Love-Longing Gu has been eaten by a stranger!

Seeing Shangguan Wei'er's tearful expression, Li Shang stood up uncertainly and asked, "What's wrong? Is it really a poison? Am I going to die? Huh?"

Shangguan Wei'er still had a dazed expression, and Li Shang's doubtful expression slowly cracked. No way, how could he be so unlucky? Waaaaah.

Li Shang, unwilling to give up, grabbed Shangguan Wei'er's arm and shook it, "Say something! Say something! Am I going to die?"

Shangguan Wei'er was shaken back to her senses by Li Shang, and she gave a smile that was more like a grimace, saying, "Don't die, the Gu isn't poisonous, I'm going to die now."

After saying this, Shangguan Wei'er collapsed to the ground, gazing at the sky in despair. Li Shang noticed something was wrong with her and slowly moved to her side, asking, "Hey, what exactly did I eat? Was it your life-saving Gu? Don't be sad, how much did it cost? I'll pay you back, okay?"

Shangguan Wei'er glanced at him speechlessly and asked, "Are you very rich?"

Li Shang scratched his head shyly and said, "I have some, but not much, and it's all money I earned myself."

Hearing this, Shangguan Wei'er chuckled and asked, "You're from the Li family, one of the four great families, and you still have to earn your own money? Doesn't the Li family give you any?"

"I was adopted by Aunt Li Ge, not someone who left home," Li Shang said nonchalantly, as if the person he was talking about wasn't himself.

Shangguan Wei'er was stunned. She wanted to slap herself. She deserved to die! She had asked about someone else's sad story.

She thought for a moment, then gently poked Li Shang with her finger and asked, "Do you want to know what kind of poison you just ate?"

Li Shang glanced at her as if she were an idiot. This concerned his life and death, so of course he wanted to know.

Shangguan Wei'er smiled, unsure of what to say, and could only ask awkwardly, "Good news and bad news, which do you want to hear first?"

Without a second thought, Li Shang said, "Good news." He didn't want to hear any bad news right now.

Shangguan Wei'er smiled and said, "The good news is that the Gu worms are not poisonous, so you don't have to die."

"Really? That's great!" Li Shang said happily. For him, this was indeed the best news.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he asked hesitantly, "What's the bad news?"

"The bad news is that you don't have to die now, but you might die later." Shangguan Wei'er turned her head away shyly.

"What do you mean?" Li Shang was a little confused by her.

"It means that you've taken my Love-Sickness Gu. If you fall in love with another woman in the future, but not with me, you'll die a horrible death." Shangguan Wei'er finished speaking in one breath, then turned her head away, not daring to look at Li Shang.

Li Shang was struck dumb, shouting, "You, you, you're a robber! How can you force someone to do something like this?"

Shangguan Wei'er was pampered from childhood to adulthood. Even though the old man used her, he still invested a lot in her, hoping that she would have a better value and be able to help the Shangguan family. Unexpectedly, she was now being disliked by a wild boy from the Northwest. Miss Shangguan said that she had never suffered such grievances in her life.

Shangguan Wei'er pointed at Li Shang with her slender white fingers and said, "What are you shouting for? I didn't even shout. Do you know how important the Love-Longing Gu is to the women of our Shangguan family? A person can only have one in their lifetime, and it can only be given to the person they love most. Now, you have eaten my Love-Longing Gu and you still call me a robber! Since that's the case, I have another way to undo the Love-Longing Gu. Do you want to hear it?"

Li Shang looked at Shangguan Wei'er, who had suddenly calmed down, with suspicion, and asked hesitantly, "What method?"

Shangguan Wei'er drew a dagger from her waist and said with a sinister smile, "The solution is to kill you now, which will break the curse. You'll die then, and I'll remain unmarried for life. That will break the curse. Since you're so unwilling, I'm even less willing. I'd rather be a widow for life. Prepare to die!"

Li Shang hurriedly raised her hand to block, then dodged while saying, "Hey, hey, hey, calm down, Miss, I was wrong. Let's think of another way together, okay? You're a girl, be a little gentler."

Shangguan Wei'er snorted, sheathed the knife back into her waistband, glanced at him contemptuously, and said, "There are no other ways besides these two. Anyway, I've been in the Shangguan family for so many years and I've never heard of any other methods."

Li Shang could only nod resignedly and asked, "Then what is the purpose of this Gu worm? Can it share life?"

Shangguan Wei'er thought about it carefully and said, "No, the one in your body is the offspring Gu, and the one in mine is the mother Gu. Women of the Shangguan family are implanted with the mother Gu after birth. However, if something happens to the mother Gu, the offspring Gu will also die."

Li Shang opened his mouth wide in surprise and asked, "If the offspring Gu is in trouble, will the mother Gu also die?"

Shangguan Wei'er looked at him with a puzzled expression, but still answered him, "Not necessarily, it depends on how much I like you."

Li Shang muttered under her breath, "It's so unfair!"

"What did you say?" Shangguan Wei'er's bright eyes widened, and Li Shang immediately surrendered, saying, "Nothing, nothing?"

Li Shang paused, then said, "Did you take a liking to me all along, and that's why you deliberately planted this love-sickness curse on me?"

Shangguan Wei'er kicked him angrily. What an arrogant narcissist! Shangguan Wei'er stormed ahead, while Li Shang followed behind nonchalantly. Looking at the angry back of the girl in front of him, he smiled.

The feeling of having someone to live and die with.

Not bad.
