Dong Siyue didn't care at all. "Let them write whatever they want. These are all facts. Right now, I'm only worried about Hongming's health. I don't care about anything else."

At worst, she can quit the entertainment industry.

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Ye Qingqing stopped trying to persuade her. With Li Hongming's wealth and influence, the penalty for breach of contract was indeed not a problem. Since Dong Siyue didn't care about her reputation, she naturally wouldn't care about the money either.

Zhu Zi, who had been left out in the cold, overheard the gossip. He had already lost much of his hostility towards Dong Siyue. This woman seemed to be a loyal person, not one of those vain, hypocritical, and pretentious sluts. Zhu Zi was even thinking of letting Dong Siyue off the hook.

But Ye Qingqing acted on her own initiative, completely disregarding him as the sect leader. Zhu Zi was furious and coldly shouted, "You come and go as you please? Do you think this is a tourist area?"

Dong Siyue trembled, somewhat frightened. Her mindset had changed; she no longer wanted to die and naturally refused to accept Zhu Zi's punishment. However, this handsome man seemed difficult to talk to.

"Sect Master, I am willing to accept the punishment. I... I'm going to the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave right now!" Although Zhu Kexing was disappointed, he was still happy for Dong Siyue. As long as Dong Siyue could cheer up, that was all that mattered.

He walked towards the Cave of Ten Thousand Poisons, his legs feeling like they were made of lead, walking even slower than the old lady. He was terrified!

Besides, he didn't want to die. He had finally achieved some success and wanted to make a big splash!

Zhu Zi was furious. She wanted to beat this idiot to death. He brought back a woman who had another man in her heart and was willing to be punished. His brain was full of shit. She was so angry.

"Little Pig, send this idiot to the Ten Thousand Poison Cave. He'll be allowed to come out after three days!" Zhu Zi roared angrily.

An older woman whose face was mostly covered by a purplish-red birthmark walked over, glanced at Dong Siyue, then at Zhu Zi, and then pulled Zhu Kexing away, heading towards the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave.

The woman was indeed ugly. Zhu Zi's anger subsided somewhat, and he stammered, "This stupid thing has violated the sect's rules and must be punished!"

He's already said it; how can we establish authority if we don't punish him?

The ugly woman nodded, her voice hoarse, "Punishment!"

Without saying a word more, Zhu Zi looked embarrassed. Why didn't the ugly woman plead for him? If she had, he would have had a way out. How could he save face now?

Dong Siyue asked softly, "What is the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave?"

"A cave inhabited by tens of thousands of venomous snakes," Ye Qingqing explained simply.

Dong Siyue's face turned deathly pale. She never expected it to be so serious. No wonder Zhu Kexing hesitated for a long time before agreeing when she asked to come here for medicine. This fool risked his life to bring her here!

“If anyone should be punished, it should be me. It was my fault.” Dong Siyue wanted to argue with Zhu Zi, but Ye Qingqing stopped her. “It’s the sect’s business. We outsiders can’t interfere. Don’t worry, you won’t die, but you’ll suffer a bit.”

It's only been three days. At most, he'll suffer some physical pain and have nightmares for a few days. Zhu Zi showed mercy.

Dong Siyue felt extremely guilty, as she had caused the trouble for others. She truly did not know it was so serious; otherwise, she would never have come.

"How did you and Zhu Kexing meet?" Ye Qingqing asked, very curious.

They're not even from the same circle, and Dong Siyue has a natural aversion to men. She doesn't even interact much with male actors in the industry. The only man she doesn't reject is probably Li Hongming.

“I am the spokesperson for Zhu Kexing’s company’s products. Zhu Kexing contacted me at the time, and we are from the same hometown, so we have been in contact,” Dong Siyue explained.
