Ning Qing moved her wrist and glanced at the little cub with an ambiguous expression.

"How effective is the medicine you just took?"

Upon hearing this, Jun Cheng truthfully replied, "The medicine is quite effective."

It's really good. I feel completely relaxed now, and there's no pain at all. Qingqing's medicine is truly effective.

Ning Qing's eyes flashed, and she drew a long sword hanging on the wall, thrusting it towards Jun Cheng.

"Draw your sword, you brat."

This little brat has even learned to imprison people, he's really something. Hmph, he's just being naughty, he probably deserves a beating. Once he's had his fill of beatings, he'll behave himself.

Seeing Ning Qing thrusting at him, Jun Cheng quickly dodged.

Seeing Jun Cheng dodge to the right, Ning Qing also turned her sword and thrust it to the right.

Juncheng narrowly avoided the danger with another backflip, and seeing the window wide open, he immediately leaped towards it, already outside.

Ning Qing saw that the person was outside and followed closely behind.

The two began fighting outside the house. Under Ning Qing's fierce attack, Jun Cheng's robes were already torn in many places. Unarmed, he had no choice but to draw out the jade flute he always carried with him to defend himself.

After a fierce exchange of swords, Ning Qing's sword tip was pressed against Jun Cheng's throat.

Jun Cheng leaned against a tree trunk, his robes tattered and worn. He looked at Ning Qing with tender eyes and a slight smile on his lips. "Qingqing, are you satisfied now?"

Ning Qing was speechless, inwardly screaming: You've been beaten to a pulp by me, and you're still laughing.

"If Qingqing isn't satisfied, I can continue."

Hearing this, Ning Qing scanned him from head to toe, feeling inexplicably irritated. "You're all injured except for your face, you can still continue. Are you trying to make it impossible for me to complete my mission?"

Ning Qing sheathed her sword, pinched Jun Cheng's chin and lifted it slightly, "Do you know you were wrong?"

"It was wrong of me to imprison you, Qingqing, please don't be angry," Jun Cheng could only look up at Ning Qing with his head slightly raised.

"A gentleman knows what to do and what not to do. Taking advantage of a weakness is not the way of a gentleman," Ning Qing earnestly taught.

Jun Cheng thought to himself: If a gentleman cannot have the one he loves, he is better off without her.

I felt no regret whatsoever for what happened that night; on the contrary, I was relieved.

How could I win over such a beautiful woman as Qingqing if I didn't take advantage of her vulnerability?

Jun Cheng hissed, clutching his chest, his brow furrowing, his face gradually turning pale.

Ning Qing panicked. Had she beaten the little brat too fiercely and caused him internal injuries?

He quickly reached into his robes, actually taking out several bottles of pills from his spatial storage, feeding Jun Cheng one of each.

Jun Cheng's mouth was stuffed full of various pills. He was both amused and exasperated. Qingqing was trying to murder her husband!

Hmm, dear husband, that's a very nice way to address someone.

Upon seeing this, Ning Qing quickly ran back into the house, grabbed a teapot, and poured the tea down Jun Cheng's throat.

Jun Cheng swallowed the pill with difficulty, gave Ning Qing a weak smile, and gently stroked Ning Qing's cheek.

"I am fine, Qingqing, don't panic."

"Shut up," she said, picking up the little one and carrying him to her bedroom. She placed him on the bed and covered him with a blanket.

"Take a good rest," Ning Qing said, turning to leave, but her hand was tightly grabbed.

"Don't go, stay with me."

Ning Qing looked at the little brat, whose face was pale and whose eyes were fixed on her intently.

After hesitating for a while, she finally bent down and moved the baby to the inside, then got into bed and lay down on the outside.

He pulled the blanket over the two of them and closed his eyes to rest.

She felt her hand being held, and heard the little boy's soft voice in her ear, "With Qingqing by my side, I have no regrets in this life."

Ning Qing's heart stirred slightly.
