Su Qiluo gave her a "I'm not buying it" look, reached behind her and pried her hand off, "If you want to plead for that guy, I advise you to save your breath."

“I wasn’t trying to plead for him. What he did to you was really not good.” Mu Qingyun patted her nightgown and winked at him in what she thought was a rather playful way. “I’m pleading for myself.”

Su Qiluo glanced at her, a sly smile flashing in his eyes. "I can forgive you, but you have to wear the clothes I gave you tomorrow."

"Wear the clothes you gave me?" She was puzzled, but also a little expectant. "What are you going to buy me? Give me a hint first?"

"You'll find out tomorrow night." Su Qiluo raised her hand and ruffled her hair. "Your hair has grown long enough to tie with a hair tie."

"Huh?" Mu Qingyun was completely bewildered, not understanding what he meant at all.

Seeing this, Su Qiluo smiled and didn't say anything more. She took off her apron and went downstairs to get and set the table.

Mu Qingyun raised an eyebrow, watched his departing figure, and frowned in thought for a while.

Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore.

She followed him downstairs to eat.

After finishing her meal, Su Qiluo planned to go out.

"Weren't you afraid the Doctor would find out your Hellfire was out of control? Why are you acting like that today?" She leaned back comfortably and asked.

"He believes and accepts such a bizarre story, so he probably won't react much when he finds out that my hellfire is out of control."

Su Qiluo lazily raised her eyes, "Besides, if I could control my emotions at will, how could I bear the rumors about 'Hellfire' that you all talk about?"

He put down his chopsticks, stood up, raised his chin, and pointed towards the kitchen. "Put these things in the kitchen; there's an automatic dishwasher."

"good."

In the middle of the night, Su Qiluo went out.

About half an hour later, he came back.

Mu Qingyun had just turned on the TV when she heard Su Qiluo return.

"Where did you go?" She raised her head, looked at Su Qiluo who came from the door, and smiled.

Su Qiluo glanced at her, walked up to her, and gestured to her with his hand.

Mu Qingyun keenly noticed that a black hair tie was firmly tied around his wrist.

"A small rubber band?"

“Yes,” Su Qiluo deliberately tugged at the rubber band on his wrist, “They all say that if you wear a small rubber band on your wrist, it means you have a girlfriend. It’s a girlfriend’s exclusive rubber band.”

childish.

Mu Qingyun smiled. "Is there anyone who doesn't know I'm your girlfriend? Do you need to use such a small hair tie to assert your ownership?"

Upon hearing this, Su Qiluo frowned, looking speechless. "This isn't just about a hair tie; the underlying meaning is that I forgive you for sneaking off to see that man."

“However,” he suddenly changed his tone, “don’t let me know if you two meet again. Also, don’t plead for him in front of me. You know I will never forgive him.”

"Okay." Knowing this was his biggest concession, Mu Qingyun nodded and replied, "I'll go see Kazel tomorrow."

She had already devised a way to avenge the theft of her water powers without violating the established laws of this era.

"Go and rest." He wrapped his long arm around the person, pulled them into his arms, glanced at the person nestled in his embrace, and went inside. "Are you feeling better?"

"Okay." Mu Qingyun answered honestly. Looking at her confused expression, Su Qiluo couldn't help but think of the little rabbit she had seen in the pet store that day.

He curled his lips into a smile and slowly said, word by word, "Alright, let's continue tonight."

Mu Qingyun “…?”

Is this a case of getting hooked on something new?

That shouldn't happen that frequently!

Thinking of her own health, she pursed her lips, hesitated, and whispered, "My body can't handle it if it's too frequent."

"Oh, don't worry, I'm in great shape." Su Qiluo was clearly unhappy to hear this, and the hand holding her waist tightened its grip slightly.

Mu Qingyun was stunned for a moment, opened her mouth as if to say something, but noticed that his eyes were not quite right, so she closed her mouth and swallowed her words.

Never mind, she should drink more water later so her throat doesn't get hoarse from shouting.

"By the way, since the doctor doesn't seem to have any designs on me, why don't we bring Totoro over when we have some free time, and have him stay here peacefully?" Su Qiluo hugged her tightly, walked into the room, and gently placed her on the bedside.

"Aren't you afraid they'll kill you now?" She looked up at Su Qiluo, a faint smile playing on her lips. "Didn't you say before you came..."

"I'm not afraid anymore." Su Qiluo looked down at her. "I suddenly realized something."

At this point, Su Qiluo shut his mouth and didn't continue, waiting for her to ask.

Seeing this, Mu Qingyun couldn't help but smile, her beautiful eyes looking at him with amusement, and followed his lead, asking, "What is it?"

“As long as I don’t let the hellfire cloud my judgment and do anything out of control, he won’t notice anything and won’t bother to kill me.” He scoffed disdainfully, “So, as long as you don’t say anything in front of them, I’ll be fine.”

"You trust me that much? Aren't you afraid I'll stab you in the back?" Mu Qingyun tilted her head, looking at him with a mysterious expression.

She would never betray him, whether it was the current Su Qiluo or the former Su Qiluo, they were ultimately the same person.

After spending so many days together, she realized that the reason why this hellfire can cause people to lose their minds is because it can give them a dual personality.

The other personality is the opposite of what's in a person's heart. Like Su Qiluo, he used to be a man of great righteousness, unafraid of sacrifice, never taking human life lightly, and cherishing and valuing every person's life.

But now, they won't sacrifice themselves for others, they're even somewhat murderous, and they don't care about the law or their responsibilities.

However, there must be a way to combine the two personalities into the real Su Qiluo, a Su Qiluo who is closer to the original personality.

"Well, it seems I have no choice but to get you pregnant." Su Qiluo's lips curled into a wicked smile, like a villainous manipulator.

"Tsk, forcing me, do you know what crime that was in my time?" She raised her hand and hugged his neck, her face carrying a hint of stern authority.

"Go ahead and say it." Su Qiluo chuckled as he unbuttoned her clothes, one button at a time, until they were all undone in no time.

"The crime of deceiving the emperor is punishable by death."

Before she could finish speaking, Su Qiluo pinned her down on the bed.

"To die beneath the peony blossoms, even as a ghost, is still romantic." Su Qiluo's deep voice boomed in her ear, and a hint of passion crossed her face as she turned her head and kissed him.

The night was alluring, and Su Qiluo's movements were surprisingly gentle.

Moonlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, illuminating the room filled with tender moments.
