Follow me from Chapter 3 onwards.
This is bad. She'll definitely have to take off his clothes. How is that any different from being a lecher?
She asked the system with a glimmer of hope, "Um, what did the person who bought Xiao Sui do in the original story to have his carotid artery bitten off?"
"Of course, I did what you were planning to do." The system's voice carried a hint of schadenfreude.
Ning Qi felt a chill on her neck, so she patted it with her hand, then carefully observed Xiao Sui's mouth and asked the system, "Is there any item that can harden a neck?"
"No."
"Then shut up." Ning Qi angrily blocked the system, her mind finally clearing up.
She was silent for a moment, then raised her hand and pinched the sash on Xiao Sui's clothes. With just a gentle pull, the clothes would open.
Ning Qi reiterated, "I only helped you remove the 'virginity mark' and took you away from here; I really didn't do anything else."
Xiao Sui remained silent.
Ning Xi thought for a moment, then pushed him down onto the bed. That way, even if he tried to bite her, he would be far enough away that she could escape in time.
Xiao Sui's body twitched slightly on the bed, his face expressionless, as if he didn't care what she did and had nothing to do with the world.
Ning Qi felt a pang of sadness in her heart. She couldn't bear to see him with such an expression, so she stood up, took a semi-transparent white gauze from the box, and tied it over her eyes back on the bedside.
"That way I can't see clearly."
Xiao Sui did not react.
Ning Qi remembered that he couldn't see at all, so she grasped his wrist, lowered her head, and gently touched his limp fingers with a gauze scarf, rubbing them lightly. "You should believe that I meant no harm now, right?"
The two "blind people" probably couldn't see each other's faces, and she thought about the situation and found it inexplicably funny.
Ning Qi found the location of Xiao Sui's belt through the gauze scarf, her breathing becoming somewhat rapid.
She quietly calmed her breathing, and with a slight tightening of her fingers, the belt was quickly pulled away from his waist, and his clothes naturally spread out to the sides.
His body appeared blurry in front of her, but even so, it was clear that it was a very beautiful body.
That red color was very noticeable, right above his abdominal muscles.
Ning Qi breathed a slight sigh of relief; it was good that it wasn't anything more embarrassing to talk about.
She licked her finger as before and slowly pressed it onto the red dot.
The skin beneath her fingertips trembled slightly, causing her heart to beat even faster.
But as the scorching heat gradually spread, she frowned. She had felt something was wrong before; this temperature just didn't seem normal.
"Do you have a fever?" she asked, frowning. "Are you feeling unwell?"
Her response was Xiao Sui's increasingly heavy breathing.
"I've been drugged." The hoarse voice sounded as if it had been burned, but upon closer listening, the tone was extremely calm.
Ning Qi was truly impressed; this place had so many tricks up its sleeve when it came to dealing with servants. "So how can we alleviate this?"
The only response she received was suppressed panting.
Ning Qi realized her question was silly and added, "I mean if we don't do that kind of thing."
The air was silent, and the heat emanating from Xiao Sui seemed to permeate her entire body, making her face slightly flushed.
"Then don't touch me," Xiao Sui suddenly said.
"But the virginity mark hasn't been wiped off yet, I can't take you away from here."
"It doesn't matter," Xiao Sui said wearily. "It's the same wherever you are."
Ning Xi was stunned. She had spent 3,500 taels of silver to buy him. Even if he didn't kneel down to thank her like that handsome young man had done, he should at least say something nice.
She had clearly tried her best to show kindness, but the person didn't appreciate it at all.
If the system knew, it would definitely start laughing at her for ignoring advice and asking for trouble.
Thinking this, Ning Qi let go of her hand and stood up.
With the pressure from the bed beside him gone, Xiao Sui twitched the corner of his mouth, not finding it surprising.
The rich lady who bought him seemed different from those disgusting people, but it was just a momentary act of kindness. She would throw him back soon after encountering troublesome people like him.
Rather than accepting her charity in the first place, it would be better not to.
Although he could not see, he could hear. He could not kneel at her feet like that servant and beg for her mercy just to leave this place.
His eye sockets began to throb with pain, which then spread to his head. But desire continued to burn him, tear him apart, splitting his body in two. One half remained painfully conscious, while the other half lost control, betraying him and becoming a slave to desire.
It would be better if this broken body died. Xiao Sui let himself sink into the bed, as if he were sinking into a swamp, his limbs being entangled by invisible mud and dragged into the ground.
Having lost his sight, all he could see was darkness. He tried to grasp something, but could only weakly raise his hand.
His only regret was that he hadn't finished avenging himself.
I'm afraid there will never be another chance.
Suddenly, his chin was lifted, and a sweet fragrance wafted over him. Soft breaths approached, bringing him a moment of coolness.
"What, is this a decision made after some thought that since the money was spent, it should still be used?" Xiao Sui thought, his head throbbing with pain.
He has seen and heard of disgusting methods before, and he doesn't want to experience any of them. The only thing he can use right now is his teeth.
He should bite her to death before she puts a gag on him.
Xiao Sui was straining his strength, his head throbbing with pain.
The next instant, something round was suddenly stuffed into his mouth. Before he could even identify it, it tasted like herbs and melted in his mouth.
Xiao Sui used all his strength to raise his arm, suddenly hooked his arm around her lower back, and pulled her in front of him. "What did you give me to eat?"
The young lady gasped, seemingly surprised that he could still use his limbs, and her weight suddenly pressed down on his chest.
The sweet scent became even stronger, completely enveloping him.
Xiao Sui's breathing became labored.
"It's a calming pill. Although it can't completely relieve the symptoms, it should have some effect." The girl's voice rang out crisply in his ear, like a bird's call cutting through the darkness.
Xiao Sui frowned, and the feeling of discomfort in his body did indeed disappear somewhat immediately.
He knew that his body had a certain degree of drug resistance, and that even mid-grade pills had no effect on him. This one was so effective that it must be at least a high-grade one.
Even cultivators from the Huaguang Sect would find it difficult to produce a high-grade pill directly, yet she just casually handed it to him.
While he was still in a daze, the girl cupped his chin with both hands and said solemnly, "From now on, things will be different if you follow me."
Xiao Sui lowered his arm, rubbing it and wrinkling the bed fabric.

Ning Xi left Yandu under the cover of night. Before leaving Nanfeng Pavilion, the maid there carefully examined her fingers to confirm that there were two marks on them before letting her go.
She also asked for the aphrodisiac and the antidote.
Seeing her interest, the owner gave her the whole box of tools, telling her to take it home and explore it, and that he would give her a discount next time she came.
Ning Qi got goosebumps just thinking about the golden chain, the ruby-studded clip, and the glossy black leather whip.
Xiao Sui was unable to walk, so he sat in the carriage with her, supported by her guards. He was leaning against the side, quite a distance away from her.
Ning Qi proudly summoned the system, raised her chin, and said to it, "Look, it's perfectly intact."
The system scoffed, "You certainly didn't do anything to the villain, did you? Wait until you've actually done something, and your head's still on your neck, then come bragging to me."
Ning Xi hummed twice, looking at Xiao Sui's still flushed cheeks, "I already have a plan. Once I heal his injuries, I don't believe he won't let me touch him."
"Host, have you forgotten our mission?"
"I haven't forgotten," Ning Qi said righteously. "I remember that not long after the male lead returned from this trip, he was going to travel for three months again to obtain his most important weapon, the Demon-Slaying Sword. I won't even be able to see him then. Can't I even have something to do for myself?"
"Your own affairs are just about getting entangled with the villains?" the system said.
Ning Qi turned her head away and ignored it, moving closer to the man.
The faint, hot breaths drifted over, indicating that the effects of the medicine had not yet worn off.
She mixed the antidote she had just obtained with water and fed it into his mouth.
The man, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked, "Who are you, and where are you taking me?"
"Ah." Ning Qi thought he wouldn't ask anymore.
She couldn't help but think of the question she had asked her boss before leaving.
"You severed his tendons in his hands and feet, but what about his eyes?"
“Oh, Miss, I’m not too sure about this either. The seller delivered him like this. I advise you not to be curious and take off his blindfold. I’ve seen him before… tsk.”
"What's wrong?" Ning Qi became more and more curious the more he said that.
"His left eye is still relatively intact, but his right eye looks like it was gouged out." The boss patted his chest. "Even I found it quite horrifying, so of course you, Miss, can't bear to look at it."
"So that means the person from Huaguang Sect gouged out his eyes?" Ning Qi frowned deeply.
The boss nodded.
Thinking of this, Ning Qi hesitated. She had originally planned to reveal her real name, but judging from the current situation, Xiao Sui and Huaguang Sect must have a grudge against each other, and he would definitely not want to be taken back by her.
Fortunately, she doesn't live with the other disciples; she has her own mountain. Even if she places him there, he probably won't realize it's the Huaguang Sect.
It's best not to tell him his real name.
Ning Qi thought through all the noble ladies she knew and remembered that the youngest daughter of the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat seemed to be unwell recently and had been sent to a manor in the suburbs to recuperate. What was that girl's name again?
Oh, right.
"I am Gu Xinxue, daughter of the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat. We are going to my father's garden in the suburbs. It's very quiet there."
As Ning Xi spoke, she lifted the curtain and gestured to the guards outside to clear a path for her in advance, so as not to give herself away when entering the sect.
The guard understood her meaning and immediately complied, while Qianyu looked at her with a worried expression.
Ning Qi patted the back of her hand.
"Gu Xinxue." Xiao Sui repeated the name, turning his head in her direction. "So it was you. Did you recognize me and that's why you bought me?"
"Huh?" Ning Xi and Qian Yu looked at each other in bewilderment. What was going on? She had just mentioned someone who turned out to be an old acquaintance of Xiao Sui.
She forced a smile and mumbled, "I guess so."
"Since you recognized me, why didn't you just tell me earlier?"
Ning Qi looked at Qian Yu with a troubled expression. She should have known better than to lie. How was she going to cover this up now?
Xiao Sui suddenly smiled, "I know it's normal that you don't want to acknowledge me because of the trouble I've caused. I'm already very grateful that you were able to save me."
Ning Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, "I didn't find you troublesome."
But it sounds like he and Gu Xinxue have a past relationship.
Xiao Sui leaned back silently against the cushion, the back of his head touching the backrest, bringing waves of dizziness and making him reflexively want to vomit, but because he hadn't eaten for a long time, there was no food in his stomach, so he just frowned.
This woman is lying; he does know Gu Xinxue.
But Gu Xinxue had already been killed by him.
