The pain overshadowed the beauty.

The key to winning back Shen Sangruo's feelings is not the Seven-Colored Butterfly, nor any other random insects, but the Seven Emotions Gu, which is to make her cast the Seven Emotions Gu on him!

Upon hearing this answer, Shen Sangruo raised an eyebrow.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Lu Shiqing became even more mocking.

Now that he has deduced such an answer, what else is there that he doesn't understand?

Before she could detach herself from his emotions, she already hated him even more. Could she possibly develop feelings for him again after regaining them?

She knew that all of this was just Lu Shiqing deliberately escaping and deceiving himself.

He was immersed in his own world, in the illusion he had created.

Lu Shiqing is a complete joke, and everyone knows how ridiculous he is.

He was the only one who felt good about himself; like now, he was still in the excitement of about to win back her affections.

“Sang Ruo, I’m sorry for what happened before. I shouldn’t have used the Seven Emotions Gu on you, and I shouldn’t have forcibly corrected your feelings.”

"Now, how about you cast the Seven Emotions Gu on me too, so I can be punished and return all the pain you suffered to me? Then all the unpleasantness between us can be wiped clean, okay?"

"I was wrong, I really know I was wrong."

As he spoke, he handed her two of the three Gu worms he was holding.

What remained was merely a Gu worm used to detect emotions, as Shen Sangruo knew.

Besides the Seven Emotions Gu, she was also given another Gu worm that she didn't recognize.

Lu Shiqing explained to her in time: "This is a Gu worm that can devour the Seven Emotions Gu and neutralize its effects."

A person suffering from the Seven Emotions Gu cannot expel the Gu worm from their body on their own; they can only have it drawn out by someone else. If they are not affected, they can expel the Gu worm themselves, just like she did before.

Needless to say, Shen Sangruo understood what he was thinking.

Her expression seemed resolute; once she regained her emotions, she would feel sorry for him and couldn't bear to see him suffer from the Seven Emotions Gu.

He then "thoughtfully" prepared this Gu worm so that the Seven Emotions Gu in his body could be dealt with in time.

Shen Sangri had been poisoned by the Seven Emotions Gu so many times, but this was the first time she had ever known that the Seven Emotions Gu actually had an "antidote".

This "antidote" must have existed long ago. Lu Shiqing is already ruined, so it couldn't have been something he concocted after figuring out how to win back her feelings.

Shen Sanruo felt even more ironic.

When he first put the Seven Emotions Gu on her, he never thought of using an "antidote."

The first time he used the Seven Emotions Gu on her, the Gu worm remained on her body for seven days and seven nights, and he watched helplessly as she suffered for seven days and seven nights.

In the end, she had to use bloodletting to lure out the worms, a process that caused her a lot of suffering.

Even later, when Lu Shiqing realized something was wrong and wanted to use the Seven Emotions Gu to test her feelings for them, he only prepared the Seven Emotions Gu and never had any antidote Gu worms.

When it came to his own case, he suddenly remembered that he needed to prepare the antidote in advance.

He really does know how to take care of himself.

She took the two Gu worms, played with them in her hands, and had a mocking expression on her face.

"Come on, Sang Ruo." Lu Shiqing's face showed no fear of the Seven Emotions Gu, but rather a joyful expression as if some happy event was about to happen.

"I'm willing to do anything to regain my feelings, even if it means suffering for you."

It was as if she held not the Seven Emotions Gu in her hand, but sweet candy, eager to taste it.

Even if he prepared an antidote for himself, he would still have to endure a period of suffering.

Lu Shiqing is indeed insane, and he is indeed ruthless to himself.

He could have kept the antidote for himself, but he chose to give it to Shen Sangruo.

It was as if he was making a bet with someone, determined to prove something; he was certain that Shen Sangri would save him.

The Seven Emotions Gu can only be effective on specific emotions. The Seven Emotions Gu in Shen Sangruo's hand has been set by Lu Shiqing to only target the emotions he feels for her.

Of course, whether he sets it up or not, it doesn't matter. At this moment, he only has feelings for her. Everyone else is just someone who is dispensable to him, and he doesn't care about them.

"Sang Ruo, I truly love you, I truly adore you." Lu Shiqing's expression was one of utter infatuation. "You must feel the same way..."

With a cold expression, Shen Sanruo decisively threw out the Seven Emotions Gu, and the Gu worm instantly burrowed into Lu Shiqing's flesh.

His unfinished words were interrupted by excruciating pain coursing through his body.

It hurt so much! It was a pain he had never imagined! It almost instantly silenced him.

It felt as if countless insects with sharp mouthparts were constantly gnawing at his flesh and bones, tearing and chewing them bit by bit.

Just like his feelings for Shen Sangruo, it was obsessive and insane, like a madman, constantly coursing through his body, clamoring, wanting to devour him completely.

The more intense his feelings for Shen Sangri were, the deeper the pain the Seven Emotions Gu inflicted on him became.

Lu Shiqing gritted his teeth, but still couldn't help but let out a painful groan.

Not to mention that he has no cultivation at the moment. If he could have resisted it with spiritual power before, he has no resistance now. The pain brought to him by the Seven Emotions Gu will only be more real.

His body could no longer support him, and he collapsed to one knee, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

The Seven Emotions Gu, is it really this painful?

There is no true empathy in the world; only after experiencing the same thing can one understand how much pain the other person is in.

In the past, Lu Shiqing did not take the Seven Emotions Gu seriously, but only regarded it as a tool to correct Shen Sangruo's emotions.

But when he experienced that pain firsthand, Lu Shiqing was stunned.

He had used the Seven Emotions Gu on Chen Sangruo twice before, one of which lasted for seven days and seven nights. How much pain she must have been in!

A strange pang of sorrow welled up in his heart, and he seemed to realize how excessive he had been in the past.

How could he do that? How could he treat her like that? He clearly loved her so much, why did he hurt her like that?

Lu Shiqing was on the verge of a breakdown.

He's not human, he deserves to die!

The more heartache Shen Sangruo felt belatedly, the more frantically the Seven Emotions Gu would devour her.

Pain overwhelmed him like a tidal wave, and was like countless needles that mercilessly pierced his flesh and his heart, pushing him into an abyss of excruciating pain.

Lu Shiqing could no longer maintain his kneeling position and collapsed to his knees in front of Shen Sangruo.

He lay prostrate, his eyes brimming with tears, like a sinner repenting for his crimes.

She kept saying, "I'm sorry... I didn't know it would hurt so much... I'm sorry... Sang Ruo..."

"I was wrong, I was really wrong, I deserve to die, please forgive me, please forgive me!"

The more this happened, the more agitated he became.

But as if torturing himself, he let his love, heartache, regret and other emotions about Shen Sangruo grow wildly.

They deliberately let the Seven Emotions Gu bring him more pain, gradually devouring him.

He deserves it.
