I recuperated in the palace for several months, during which time You would serve me a bowl of herbal soup with a subtle fragrance every day.
My health has improved significantly. Although I can no longer compare to the powerful body I used to have, I am now a normal person.
I don't dare to ask for too much. After all, when I first woke up, it took me a lot of effort to even sit up, but now I can run and jump.
I knew there was something wrong with the bowl of medicine You Duan gave me.
I knew You wanted to keep it from me, so I did as he wished, and didn't think about it or try to find out.
"Dinner is ready."
You called me gently as usual, but her face was ashen no matter how she tried to hide it.
I lowered my eyes, suppressing the bitterness in my heart. After composing myself, I looked up and smiled, "What delicious food did you make today?"
"Take a look for yourself, these are all your favorite dishes."
I looked over and sure enough.
Midway through the meal, You suddenly spoke up, "I'm leaving for a few days. You stay here and wait for me."
My hand, which was holding a chopstick, paused, and I reflexively wanted to say, "I'll go with you."
But I just can't bring myself to say it.
I know my current state. My body is no different from that of an ordinary person, and following You will only be a burden to him.
"Okay, I'll wait for you." I nodded, put down my chopsticks, and took You's hand. "Be careful in everything you do."
You pulled me into her arms with a slight pull, and a moment later, a cool pair of lips touched my forehead. "Wait for me."
After You left, I stayed in the palace obediently as he had said.
However, what I didn't expect was that instead of waiting for You, I met another person I hated the most.
Liu Lieyu was dressed in black, and his expression towards me was no longer what it used to be, revealing a ruthless side.
I had never seen Liu Lieyu look like this before. No matter how ruthless Liu Lieyu had been to me in the past, his eyes always revealed a tenderness and affection.
Liu Lieyu looked at me without saying a word, and I didn't dare to make any rash moves. My current skills were no different from those of an ordinary person.
Apart from You, everyone else in the entire abyss who was called over would just be cannon fodder to be sent to their deaths.
I lowered my head, pondering a solution, while Liu Lieyu walked towards me step by step.
I swallowed hard, wanting to run away.
But Liu Lieyu grabbed her by the neck, and a sneer echoed in the cold palace, "A soul from another world?"
I was startled. Did Liu Lieyu find out?
How much did he know? Everything? Who told him? Was it nobody, or someone else?
"How ridiculous! I've been fooled for so long!" As she spoke, the hand on her neck tightened its grip.
My eyes rolled back as I was being pinched, so I couldn't see Liu Lieyu's expression at all.
Just before I was about to faint, Liu Lieyu suddenly threw me aside, I don't know what he thought of.
I lay on the ground, panting.
Liu Lieyu stepped forward and half-squatted down, his icy hand tracing a path down my neck to my chest. "Heh, this is Xin'er's body, we can't damage it."
I was terrified by Liu Lieyu's tone; his hand, which was slashing at my body, felt like a cold, metallic knife.
Why did Liu Lieyu suddenly come here? How did he know? I can't figure it out no matter how hard I try. I guess I'm doomed to die today.
In a daze, Liu Lieyu took the soul-snatching jade from my neck.
Liu Lieyu's murmured whispers pulled me back to reality.
I looked up and saw Liu Lieyu holding the Soul-Hooking Jade in one hand, rubbing his face against the tip of the jade, his expression almost obsessive. "Xin'er, why, why are you doing this to me?"
"You really... hate me that much? You went to all this trouble just to die for me?"
"Why? Why can't even the power of the Eastern Emperor Bell make you love me?"
"What's wrong with me? Why, why won't you love me?"
It seems Liu Lieyu knows everything.
I quietly stood up, intending to escape while Liu Lieyu was still in a daze.
However, Liu Lieyu pulled me back as soon as I had this idea.
"You think you can run?"
I lowered my eyes and remained silent.
Liu Lieyu ignored me. Now that he knows I'm not his girlfriend, he treats me even colder than a stranger.
"Xin'er, don't worry, I will wake you up."
I looked up at Liu Lieyu, wondering how he planned to wake Nv Xin up.
Did he commit suicide on the spot?
After Liu Lieyu put away the Soul-Hooking Jade, he dragged me away from the abyss.
I wondered to myself if You could still save me this time.
"what's on your mind?"
Suddenly, Liu Lieyu asked me a question.
I looked away; I didn't want to see him.
Seeing that I ignored him, Liu Lieyu continued, "Thinking about You Yuan? Ha, don't even think about it, he's barely able to protect himself right now."
"What do you mean?" I didn't want to talk to Liu Lieyu, but I wanted to know about You.
Liu Lieyu didn't answer, his narrow eyes squinting as he looked me over. After a while, he sneered, "I don't know what kind of bewitching potion you gave me, Youyuan. He went to great lengths to keep this soul from another world, even risking his life."
"What exactly happened to You?" I turned my head and looked at Liu Lieyu anxiously.
After Liu Lieyu finished speaking, he ignored me.
I kept asking, but Liu Lieyu got annoyed and simply cast a spell on me.
After Liu Lieyu brought me to Guixu, he took the Soul-Hooking Jade and left me carelessly in a secret room.
Every day, he would simply instruct people to feed me medicine to prolong my life.
My body, which had been kept in seclusion, has deteriorated further in the past few days.
He's back to the point where even sitting up is difficult.
I don't know how long I've been in this secret room; I'm so weak that I can barely open my eyes.
