Dou Shiliu carefully put away the medicinal herbs, and to Mu Xiangjing's curiosity, he said, "What's it to you?"
With a gentle gaze, she led Hou Rong forward.
Mu Xiangjing: "..."
Could you please stop doing this? His eyes hurt a little.
As you enter the valley, the houses, resembling small mushrooms, gradually come into view, exuding an unusual folk style.
"Is this the valley?" Mu Xiangjing scratched her head in confusion, looking at this paradise on earth. "It really is quite different from the rumors."
In such a fairyland, there were still some villagers carrying water on their shoulders, slowly walking towards the roadside.
Dou Shiliu grabbed Mu Xiangjing, asking, "What are you doing?" He almost walked away, completely bewildered.
Mu Xiangjing snapped out of her daze and touched her nose: "Sorry, I got a little lost in thought."
Dou Shiliu glanced at him indifferently, "Let's go," and pulled Hou Rong's hand, turning to follow the system prompts.
After turning the corner of the stream and crossing the wooden bridge, a magnificent ancient courtyard stands not far away, instantly evoking a sense of unease.
"stop"
The people at the door stopped them.
"Was I invited?"
Dou Shiliu nodded: "Yes."
"Let me take a look."
Mu Xiangjing: "...", they don't even have an invitation!
Dou Shiliu lowered his eyes indifferently, took out an envelope from his sleeve, and then Mu Xiangjing saw those people fall down spectacularly.
Mu Xiangjing: "..." Openly using witchcraft...
And so, for the first time ever, they entered the ancient courtyard smoothly.
A series of hurried footsteps approached, and Dou Shiliu turned around to see two people fighting not far away.
"Ding, male lead Mo Guiyin detected."
The male protagonist got into a fight?
Dou Shiliu's eyes flashed slightly, and he stepped forward. With a whoosh, a powerful sword pierced the wall where Dou Shiliu had turned around.
The sword's shadow shimmered.
Dou Shiliu withdrew his gaze, and Hou Rong behind him was slightly taken aback, "What an amazing big brother..."
That sword came fast indeed.
"It's quite impressive that the young lady managed to dodge that sword strike."
Mo Guiyin descended from the high platform with a smile. Mu Xiangjing looked up and saw that the gentleman was as handsome as jade and unparalleled in the world.
A smile played on her lips as her skirt rippled, and the man's long, dark hair floated in the breeze.
This is truly a handsome man, but he has no eyes for purity. Although he is very good-looking, he cannot be moved by him.
Mu Xiangjing still prefers Hou Rong's eyes.
He glanced at Mo Guiyin a few times, then turned to stare at Hou Rong with a lewd look, his appearance extremely lewd.
Dou Shiliu: "...", silently pulled Hou Rong closer, and glanced coldly at Mu Xiangjing.
Mo Guiyin turned his gaze to Mu Xiangjing's graceful figure, his thin lips slightly pursed, "Young lady, are you ready for marriage?"
Hou Rong: What is marriage? Does it mean when my sister marries me?
Dou Shiliu: Awesome!
Mu Xiangjing: "..."
"My heart already belongs to someone else."
Mu Xiangjing smiled gently at Hou Rong, while Dou Shiliu blocked her way expressionlessly. Mu Xiangjing twisted her body, rubbed her body, and looked at Hou Rong with flirtatious blinking eyes.
Dou Shiliu: "...", does this jerk of a male lead have a death wish?
Mo Guiyin then glanced at Hou Rong, who was clean and tidy, but suffered from a brain disease. A knowing look flashed in his eyes.
"Young lady, have you come to ask for medicine?"
Dou Shiliu nodded, "That's right."
What medicine?
"No Return Grass"
Mo Guiyin raised an eyebrow: "Poison?"
Looking at the young Dou Shiliu, Mo Guiyin smiled and said, "Girl, you should know that this girl is very precious..."
Mo Guiyin's eyes were slightly lowered, giving her a gentle and harmless look, and the faint smile on her lips was quite beautiful.
The calculation in his eyes was not concealed at all.
Dou Shiliu raised her head slightly, her gaze indifferent, and pointed her slender fingertips at Mu Xiangjing beside her: "He gives it to you, the medicine is mine."
Mo Guiyin smiled deeply, while Mu Xiangjing remained silent.
What's the meaning
Mo Guiyin looked at Dou Shiliu and nodded happily, "Deal."
This is a good deal.
But did you even respect Mu Xiangjing's opinion?
Mu Xiangjing angrily retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Dou Shiliu: "You stay here, we need to go get the medicine."
Mu Xiangjing: "??"
Did he hear me wrong?
This woman? She pushed him out like a kitten?
Dou Shiliu stepped forward and spoke with Mo Guiyin, “He is rather disobedient, so you have to use medicine to suppress him and force him to comply.”
Mu Xiangjing: "?", Don't think I can't hear you just because you're far away.
Mo Guiyin nodded with a smile, then gave Dou Shiliu the medicinal herbs he wanted. His eyes fell on Mu Xiangjing, who was not far away, and his meaningful smile gave Mu Xiangjing goosebumps.
He's not a woman; he's not going to be stupid enough to stay in this medicine valley. Why doesn't he run away?
However, the truth is that Dou Shiliu came over and pressed a few acupoints, and inexplicably Mu Xiangjing became unable to move, watching helplessly as Mo Guiyin picked her up.
"Does the young lady know how to leave the valley?"
Dou Shiliu: "I know," she has a system.
Holding Mu Xiangjing in his arms, Mo Guiyin smiled gently, his handsome face bearing a faint smile. "Then I won't see you off any further."
In a flash, Mo Guiyin's figure disappeared from sight, and Dou Shiliu watched as a leaf fell in front of him.
Very well, having shaken off Mu Xiangjing, that little tagalong, Dou Shiliu was in a rather pleasant mood as he found a place to prepare medicine for Hou Rong.
Hou Rong followed Dou Shiliu around happily, completely unaware of the poisoned tea that was about to be brewed.
then…….
Dou Shiliu held the pills he had just prepared, his eyes sharp and alert. His delicate eyebrows twitched, and he stretched out his hands, saying, "Try it."
"No"
Hou Rong frowned, her eyes filled with resistance; this stuff smelled even worse than before.
Dou Shiliu: "Eat"
Hou Rong: "No"
Hou Rong pretended to run away, but Dou Shiliu grabbed her with his long arms, saying, "Eat it."
Hou Rong: "(╥_╥)"
Forced to swallow the poison
Dou Shiliu stared intently at Hou Rong, who felt every cell in his body screaming, his handsome face contorted in pain.
"it hurts"
Hou Rong's pupils were dilated and bloodshot, her eyes filled with pain, "Sister..."
Her voice was unusually hoarse, tinged with aggrieved sobs. Dou Shiliu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt a pang of heartache. He moved swiftly and pulled Hou Rong, who had collapsed to the ground in pain, into his arms.
"Good boy... good boy..."
Dou Shiliu rested her chin on Hou Rong's sweaty brow. She brushed aside his damp, stray hairs, her eyes filled with tenderness. "Bear with it."
Hou Rong's eyes were filled with tears, and she only felt a warm light shining in on her forehead, which gradually calmed the anxious pain in her heart.
Dou Shiliu looked at Hou Rong, who was gradually falling asleep, his face calm and peaceful. Only then did he feel a little relieved and led him into the abandoned house in the Medicine Valley to rest.
...
1 year later
Inside the wooden house, a young man in white blushed and covered his face, his delicate features showing signs of heat.
