"It seems that your 'Unwavering Love' Gu has had some effect on Bei Ming Haotian. At least he can gently call you 'Chan'er.' This is the antidote. We've had a very pleasant collaboration."
Dongfang Yifei sneered, moving like a demon in the darkness, and pulled Baili Yuechan into his arms. He covered Baili Yuechan's lips with his thin lips and passed the antidote into her mouth.
"Ugh...!"
Baili Yuechan struggled, but Dongfang Yifei suddenly released her.
"Dongfang Yifei, you've gone mad. Our deal is over. From now on, I don't want to see you in my room."
Baili Yuechan wiped her lips in disgust.
Her actions displeased Dongfang Yifei.
His large hand quickly wrapped around Baili Yuechan's long hair.
This caused Baili Yuechan to furrow her brow in pain.
"Let go," Baili Yuechan coldly commanded.
Dongfang Yifei didn't let go; instead, he pulled even tighter.
"You think you can just kick me away so quickly? Don't forget how wanton you are under me. Tell me, if Bei Ming Haotian knew about your seductive and unsatisfied appearance, even if he were under the influence of the Mandarin Duck Gu, given his personality, would he still touch you?"
The evil voice pierced Baili Yuechan's heart, its cruel words striking at her most painful spot. A pair of mocking black eyes showed no mercy.
"Dongfang Yifei, you are shameless, you bastard."
"Heh!" Dongfang Yifei sneered, once again pulling Baili Yuechan's hair tighter, forcing her to look him in the eye.
"So what if you're a shameless bastard? Don't forget, 'This is all your own fault. Life is not easy, but you're willing to debase yourself. I'm just doing you a favor.'"
All of this was clearly seen and heard by Bei Ming Haotian, who had turned back to check on Nangong Ziyan. Bei Ming Haotian's eagle-like eyes were fixed on the two ugly faces, his whole body radiating boundless anger. He quickly turned around and walked towards Tian Nanxing's room.
Nangong Ziyan left the inn and wandered aimlessly into the bamboo forest behind it. Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
Suddenly, a melodious zither tune drifted over. Nangong Ziyan paused for a moment. The beautiful sound seemed to instantly soothe her aching heart. Perhaps seeking more comfort, Nangong Ziyan couldn't help but walk towards the direction from which the zither music came.
In a clearing deep within the bamboo forest, Baili Jun'ao, dressed in white, was playing the zither. His long, silky black hair flowed freely behind him. His fingers danced fluently across the strings, and his posture was relaxed and elegant. His skin was very fair, which made his handsome features stand out even more, especially his lips, which were almost as red as if they had been painted with rouge. Nangong Ziyan looked at Baili Jun'ao; he always gave people a sense of detachment and gentle refinement.
Baili Jun'ao didn't look up, but played the zither even more attentively. In a great mood, the music became even more melodious and beautiful.
Nangong Ziyan closed her eyes and listened quietly to the melodious and lingering music.
Baili Jun'ao gently raised his eyes, a gentle smile playing on his lips as he looked tenderly at the beautiful woman who was enjoying herself with her eyes closed. His heart had never been so excited as it was at this moment. At this moment, she was enjoying the only happiness he had given her, and it was the only time they were together without any ulterior motives.
The lingering, enchanting music transported Nangong Ziyan to another realm. She seemed to forget all her worries and sorrows, savoring this blissful moment.
As the last note faded, Baili Jun'ao picked up the tea that had been brewed on the stone table, poured two cups, and then slowly looked at Nangong Ziyan, who was still enjoying the tea with her eyes closed.
"Yan'er, thank you! Thank you for listening to my music so attentively."
A gentle, clear voice came from inside, and Nangong Ziyan suddenly opened her eyes.
