"Cough cough cough! Cough cough..." Shen Zhiyi touched her neck, tears welling up in her eyes.

it hurts……

From a young age, her body was more sensitive than others, especially her perception of pain, which was several times stronger than that of ordinary people.

This is also why she is interested in medicine.

To eliminate the possibility of injury.

Or even if they are injured, they can heal themselves immediately.

So she puts on a cold and aloof demeanor, keeping people at arm's length and never having any extra contact with outsiders, just to avoid others discovering that beneath her cold exterior lies such a frail body.

But the man in front of me...

Not only is he suspicious and murderous, but he also strikes with heavy force!

call……

Shen Zhiyi closed her eyes.

For the sake of Broken Heart, I decided to let it go for now and not argue with him.

"Since you've forgotten your own name, I'll give you one." She opened her eyes and gave a vengeful smirk. "It'll be easier to call you that later."

"How about we call it 'Hate Slavery'?"

Duan Xingzhi raised an eyebrow and looked at her expressionlessly.

"Not very good."

He had no intention of staying.

“I think it’s fine.” Shen Zhiyi’s eyes curved into a smile. “A humble name makes it easier to raise a child. People in Yun Shen Village all believe in that.”

You jerk.

Sooner or later I'll make you my slave.

She hummed to herself.

Duan Xingzhi frowned subconsciously.

"厌" means to suppress or remove.

Slave represents a lowly status and a difficult fate.

So, does she hope to escape suffering and have an independent and dignified life?

His taut jawline relaxed slightly, losing its coldness and hardness.

"Dislike slaves," Shen Zhi saw that he was no longer resistant, a mischievous smile flashed in his eyes, then quickly calmed down and said in a clear voice, "Although I saved you, the poison of the Heart-Shattering Induced is tricky and strange, and it may not be completely cured at this moment."

"Therefore, you'd better stay in the pharmacy until the toxins are completely eliminated."

"To avoid losing your life."

Upon hearing this, Duan Xingzhi immediately sat cross-legged, turned his palms over, and circulated his meridians, feeling a smooth flow throughout his body.

It doesn't look like it contains toxins.

He withdrew his palm strike, his expression cold and sharp, and said, "I am fine now and will not stay here."

He always felt that there was something important he hadn't finished.

As for what it is...

Duan Xingzhi frowned, then felt another splitting headache.

Does he want to leave?

That won't do!

Shen Zhiyi grew anxious and pondered for a moment before saying, "It's not that I don't want you to leave, but this place is called Yun Shen Village, located in the heart of Fu Ling Valley. It is isolated from the outside world, and the only way to get out of the valley is through a treacherous path."

"That road is flooded year-round, and you can only get out by small boat when the water level drops."

"So even if you want to leave, you have to wait until the valley opens before you can leave."

Duan Xingzhi frowned deeply.

So isolated...

It seems that, just as she said, she did fall off a cliff.

Was it because of a fight?

He narrowed his eyes.

When will the valley open?

"Next month, when the moon is full," Shen Zhiyi said cautiously, trying to read his expression.

She had taken his pulse and found that he was highly skilled in martial arts and possessed profound inner strength. If he were to force his way out of the valley, it might not be impossible.

However, she needed him to stay here.

Duan Xingzhi lowered his eyes and pondered deeply.

He has no memory right now, and the enemy is in the dark while he is in the light. He doesn't even know who harmed him in this way.

Not to mention that mission.

He had to remember what it was as soon as possible.

Otherwise... it seems like it might be too late...

He lifted his eyelids.

It seems I'll have to stay here for now.

"Before opening the valley, are you confident that you can help me regain my memories?" Duan Xingzhi asked.

“Of course!” Shen Zhiyi’s eyes lit up when she heard that he was willing to stay. “I am the personal disciple of the world’s number one divine physician. Curing you will be no problem.”

A month is enough for her to figure out the Heartbreak Catalyst!

"However, you can't just stay here and eat and drink for free. You have to do something for the pharmacy like everyone else."

She had intended to treat him well.

However, he was not only rude in his actions, but also had a very bad attitude.

He needs to suffer a bit to lower his arrogance and defenses before he'll obediently become her drug user.

Duan Xingzhi naturally accepted it.

He also doesn't have the habit of eating for free.

"Alright." Shen Zhiyi nodded. "You should rest well today. Once you've recovered, you can help fetch water and chop firewood in the backyard tomorrow."

"And you'll come with me when we go up the mountain to collect herbs every day."

He was strong and skilled in martial arts, which was perfect for finding rare and hard-to-find items.

Duan Xingzhi did not refuse.

His gaze fell on the red marks around her fair neck, and a surge of arousal rose within him.

He used less than half his strength.

How could such obvious traces be left behind?

The touch of her delicate skin seemed to linger in his palm, and Duan Xingzhi curled his knuckles.

He felt an inexplicable anger burning within him, making him restless and uneasy.

He immediately threw off the covers and got out of bed.

He said coldly, "I'm fine now, you can go now."

...

The sun is setting.

The news that Shen Zhiyi had brought back a comatose man quickly spread throughout Yun Shen Village.

Especially Teng's second wife, who was worried about her marriage, and the men who admired her, all gathered at the pharmacy as soon as they heard the news.

They all hid outside the door, too afraid to go in.

"Hey, Xiao Shen," Teng Erniang said, walking in first. Looking at the row of heads peeking around outside the courtyard wall, she gossiped, "I heard you saved someone from another village. The young man was poisoned, but he's quite handsome."
