Chapter 51: Drunk on the Flower Shade (2)

Yan Huinan's strong arms easily lifted Xie Yun in front of him, her legs tightly wrapped around his waist. Years of fighting had kept Yan Huinan in excellent shape, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist.

Today he was not wearing hard armor, but a black satin pajamas. The pajamas were made of a thin and silky material, and Xie Yun's legs just hung on his hips on both sides.

Although the kiss was initiated by Xie Yun, Yan Huinan quickly took control. He carried Xie Yun all the way to the bed and gently laid her flat on the bed. She was like a warm, fragrant white water lily in the summer night, with the moonlight falling on it and ripples on her body, which was incredibly beautiful.

The lotus is known for its purity, rising above the muddy water. Peeling back the green lotus skin reveals its lustrous, white, fleshy petals, smoother than pearls – a truly captivating sight. Pearls, however, are different. Encased within the soft flesh of a clam, they are hardened by countless rubbings and grindings of sand. They are a symbol of beauty, a vehicle for beauty. Wearing pearls embodies preciousness, making them highly sought-after playthings.

But at this moment, the pearl was truly a pearl, it was itself. Yan Huinan only wanted this one pearl, gently held in his hand, deeply placed in the most tender and sweet depths of his heart, the most vulnerable part of his body.

But even someone as restrained as Yan Huinan, when facing his own pearls and touching the round pearls, he couldn't help but want to hold them tightly in his hands.

From that kiss, Xie Yun's vision was engulfed in darkness. Once in darkness, four of her five senses became even sharper. Her years of medical training had given her a keen understanding of medicinal herbs. She often made herbal balms from them, adding some to her baths. She also occasionally crafted skin-softening creams. Years of nourishment had left Xie Yun's skin as smooth as a freshly peeled egg.

Compared to Xie Yun's skin, Yan Huinan's rough palm was scorching hot. He gently caressed Xie Yun's earlobe. In the endless darkness, Xie Yun felt a tingling sensation behind her ear where he touched her, causing her breathing to gradually become heavier.

Hiding in Yan Huinan's arms, Xie Yun no longer felt cold. Instead, she felt like she had just been pulled out of the water, her body covered in warm sweat. The kiss continued, but Xie Yun's breathing was already intermittent and difficult to connect.

As the two of them moved, Xie Yun's teeth accidentally hit Yan Huinan's chin.

This made him groan.

After being stunned for a moment, Xie Yun licked the wound on his chin gently as if to comfort him.

Xie Yun spoke in a soft voice she had never used before, but because of the pain in her body, she still gasped slightly: "Does it hurt? And the Gu worm...does it hurt?"

It refers to both the wound on his chin and the poisonous insect in his body.

In fact, just after the female Gu showed signs of waking up, the Gu in Yan Huinan's body also began to attack, so Yan Huinan's groan just now was not because Xie Yun's teeth hit his chin, but because the Gu in his body was causing trouble.

Yan Huinan held Xie Yun tightly in his arms. She rested her chin on his shoulder, but heard him say, "Does it hurt?"

The female Gu did the same and began to move inch by inch under Xie Yun's skin, forcing her to break out in another thin layer of sweat.

But at this point, how could she give up just because of the pain? She hugged Yan Huinan's neck tightly, trying to relieve the pain a little, gritting her teeth and shaking her head.

The male Gu in Yan Huinan's body was moving deeper beneath his skin, reaching his skin. The pain was no less than any previous attack. But he felt even more sorry for Xie Yun, hoping to distract her from the Gu.

He hugged Xie Yun with a heartache, his voice low and hoarse, "Thank you for your hard work, Yanyan."

Xie Yun did not answer, but because of the pain caused by the movement of the insect in her body, she couldn't help but cry out "Ah", and her breathing became heavier.

There was no sunlight in this secret room, and they didn't know how long it was. But Yan Huinan estimated that it should be the second half of the night based on his usual time. Although the insect only moved a little tonight, Yan Huinan felt that the most severe pain in his body was just above his abdomen.

In the end, Xie Yun almost fainted from the pain and was exhausted, and Yan Huinan's body was also in turmoil due to the poisonous insects.

After that, Yan Huinan took a cold shower, then took a clean towel and dipped it in warm water. When it was neither too hot nor too cold, he wiped Xie Yun's body clean before hugging her to sleep.

Without the nourishment of Xie Yun's body fluids, the female Gu returned to sleep, allowing Xie Yun to have a good night's sleep. However, the male Gu in Yan Huinan's body was more active than usual, tormenting Yan Huinan all night long.

He just endured the pain silently, holding Xie Yun in his arms. She seemed to be sleeping a little uneasy, so he kept patting her back to soothe her dreams.

Although he had taken a cold shower, Yan Huinan still broke out in cold sweats because of the male Gu. He had to soak in cold water for a while every once in a while to let the male Gu calm down a little.

The next day, when Xie Yun woke up, Yan Huinan had just finished bathing. His body was still cool and smelled of the fresh scent of clean water. He held her tightly in his arms. After many baths, Xiong Gu finally fell asleep.

As soon as Xie Yun opened her eyes, Yan Huinan noticed. He leaned over and kissed Xie Yun on the lips. He had originally intended to just give it a light kiss, but in the end, he couldn't help but deepen the kiss. He didn't leave until he was satisfied, then he hooked his lips together and asked softly, "Si Wen left the food outside. Do you want some?"

Xie Yun was indeed a little hungry, so she nodded.

Yan Huinan lifted the thin quilt, stood up, and went to the door of the secret room to bring in the food.

When the door to the secret room opened, a beam of dazzling light leaked in. Xie Yun asked, "What time is it now?"

Yan Huinan: "At 3:00 PM, there was an autumn rain last night, which moistened the earth. The weather is fine today."

Xie Yun: "I slept for a long time."

The two of them entered the secret room at dusk last night, and now it was already the afternoon of the next day.

Yan Huinan scooped a spoonful of porridge and fed it to Xie Yun. The porridge had meat and vegetables in it, and it looked very appetizing. He said gently, "Really? I really enjoy watching you sleep."

There's an illusion that time has stood still. There's also an illusion that happiness has stopped. For a moment like this, Yan Huinan is willing to give everything.

Xie Yun did not respond, but wanted to take the spoon from Yan Huinan's hand. However, as soon as she stretched out her hand, she found that her hand was so weak that it was shaking.

Finally, she compromised and let Yan Huinan feed her.

As far as she could remember, no one had ever fed Xie Yun. She had always thought that being fed was inconvenient, whether it was the direction or angle of the spoon or anything else, everything made Xie Yun feel uncomfortable.

But Yan Huinan did a great job, neither rushing nor slowing down, waiting for Xie Yun to slowly swallow the first bite before offering her the next one, truly freeing Xie Yun's hands in a very natural way.

After finishing their meal, Xie Yun asked Yan Huinan where the poison in his body was. Yan Huinan took her hand and slid it over his body inch by inch, finally guiding her fingertips to the upper right side of his abdomen, just below his ribs. "Here."

Xie Yun's fingertips gently rubbed the area. Yan Huinan's back was covered in wounds, but his front was relatively spare. His muscles were tight and firm to the touch.

Yan Huinan felt the pain of the poison in his body reappear when her nails scratched him so lightly. He pulled Xie Yun's wrist, wrapped it around his back, pulled Xie Yun into his arms, and lowered his head to kiss her lips.

The poisonous insects in both of them reacted.

Yan Huinan took some painkilling and anti-inflammatory ointment and applied it to Xie Yun's wound. This time, he didn't use the rough method as before, but used his fingers instead, applying the ointment while guiding her.

Yan Huinan had practiced swordplay as a child and later archery. His fingers were rough, strong, and flexible, allowing him to accurately grasp Xie Yun's sensitive points. This, in turn, further stimulated the female Gu in Xie Yun's body. However, the more he did this, the more intense the female Gu's movements became, and the pain in Xie Yun's arm worsened.

When Xie Yun couldn't bear the pain any more, she bit Yan Huinan's lips hard.

Yan Huinan just let her bite him, but he didn't stop the movement of his hands.

"Ah... um..." Xie Yun couldn't help but scream out in pain from her arm. The feeling of having her flesh and blood eaten away by the poisonous insects was truly painful!

Yan Huinan's brows furrowed in pain. Every time Xie Yun cried out in pain, Yan Huinan felt like dying. At the same time, the poison in his body reacted even more violently.

The two tortured Xie Yun to the point of nearly fainting from the pain. Even Yan Huinan could barely stand this prolonged ordeal and could not help but groan in pain.

In the end, Xie Yun was drenched in sweat, and Yan Huinan's palms were also wet. He held the unconscious Xie Yun in his arms, enduring the pain brought by the insect alone.

This long torture, as the note had said, lasted for three days and three nights. Finally, the insect gnawed through the flesh of Yan Huinan's right chest and emerged. The insect in Xie Yun's arm didn't move much inside her body, remaining at her wrist until it finally gnawed through the skin and emerged.

As soon as the two poisonous insects came out, Yan Huinan put them in a box and threw them into the ice to freeze them.

It was also a dark night, with stars hanging on the branches, when Yan Huinan carried the exhausted Xie Yun out of the secret room. He had ordered warm water to be prepared early, and when he carried Xie Yun into the warm water, he let her chin rest on his shoulder, holding her in his arms, washing her body bit by bit.

Under the candlelight, Xie Yun's body was covered with ambiguous purple marks, and Yan Huinan's body was also covered with painful scratches.

This time Xie Yun was so tired that she slept until the next night.

-

Yan Huinan had just been cured of the Gu, and the old doctor, who knew a lot about this Gu, diagnosed Yan Huinan: "General, the Gu is now completely cured, but your body, after being ravaged by the Gu, will need a long period of slow recuperation to fully recover."

Yan Huinan asked, "How long will it take at the earliest?"

The old doctor stroked his beard and said seriously, "It will take at least six months, but after six months, the general cannot lead troops into battle. You can't rush your health, General. If you rush it, it will be counterproductive."

Yan Huinan was worried that Daliang would take this opportunity to make a comeback.

If Yan Huinan's biggest goal in the past was revenge, he hadn't thought about how he would live after that. Now...

He looked back at the bedroom behind him, where someone he wanted to cherish was.

Xie Yun made him unable to help but be greedy for life and this world.

"Okay, I understand." Yan Huinan nodded and asked someone to send the doctor out.

Not long after, Si Wen came back. During these days, Si Wen led his troops to chase Wu Si and Wu Yue.

Although Xie Yun agreed to their request, Yan Huinan resented Wu Si's reckless abduction of Xie Yun twice. He never considered letting them go. He wanted them to suffer and die.

What's more, the matter between Wu Yue and Wu Demao has not been clarified yet.

But what was unexpected was that the results of the investigation Si Wen reported back were unexpected: "General, when our people caught up with Wu Si and Wu Yue, Wu Si was already on the verge of death."

Yan Huinan: "What?"

Si Wen's expression was extremely grim. He was completely baffled. "Wusi's skin was ulcerated, and covered in red tumors, especially... his lower body... I was worried it was an epidemic, so I didn't let anyone get close. I only saw Wu Yue guarding him. In the end, he personally killed Wu Si..."

What on earth had happened to Wu Si to become like this?
