"Gu Muchen, do you know? I knew about you back in the South."
Si Nanyin stood up, walked slowly to Gu Muchen's side, and gently stroked Gu Muchen's cheek with her long, slender, fair hand, saying with adoration:
"When I was in the Southern Kingdom, I knew that the Qi Kingdom had a regent who was skilled in politics, had a deep mind, and wielded immense power. I felt that the person I would spend my life with in the future must be someone like you, someone with outstanding abilities and great ambitions."
I know he's aloof and indifferent to everything. I also know he might not like me. But... it doesn't matter if he doesn't like me, as long as... he doesn't like anyone else, it's enough that he's mine.
So I waited and waited, and three years passed. I came of age, and finally an opportunity came my way: my king wanted to send a princess to the State of Qi for a marriage alliance.
Do you know how much effort I, as the Holy Maiden of a nation, went through to get the Emperor to agree to let me be the replacement?
After receiving His Majesty's promise, I was overjoyed; this was probably the happiest moment of my life!
At that time, I thought, "A man as talented and ambitious as you would never submit to anyone." I felt that, as your future wife, I must do something for you.
Then, I went to the most notorious assassination organization in the martial arts world to help you get rid of the emperor. Anyway, your emperor did nothing but occupy the title. Why should he?
As she said this, Si Nanyin used her fingertip to fiercely scratch Gu Muchen's face, and a red mark immediately appeared on Gu Muchen's face, with red blood beads gushing out uncontrollably.
Why didn't you dodge?
Si Nanyin's voice was sharp and fierce, yet it also revealed her confusion.
"Antidote."
Despite the injuries on his face, Gu Muchen still uttered those two words, little did he know that these two words would enrage Si Nanyin.
She burst into laughter, a ruthless glint in her eyes. "Antidote! Antidote! All you know is the antidote. I've done so much for you, and you don't even feel a little bit of resentment!"
"Give up, I'm not going to give you the antidote."
Since you love her so much, I'll deliberately refuse to give her to you. I'll make her taste what I went through, I'll make her taste my pain.
After Si Nanyin finished speaking, Gu Muchen seemed to have reached his limit. Luo Jiu was his bottom line. He raised his hand and grabbed Si Nanyin's neck, saying sternly, "Believe it or not, I'll break your neck right now."
Si Nanyin was being choked, her face flushed red, but she showed no fear. She forced a smile, as if mocking, and said:
"Luo Xiaoran should still be asleep. If you dare to strangle me, believe me, I'll activate the Gu worm in Luo Xiaoran's body right now and make her go to my grave."
Let's see who's faster, you or me.
Si Nanyin's words were full of provocation, but despite this, Gu Muchen still dared not gamble with Luo Jiu's life. So he slowly loosened his grip on Si Nanyin's neck.
Si Nanyin collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath. Just then, a voice came from above, and Gu Muchen said in a deep voice:
What do you want?
Gu Muchen's concession brought Si Nanyin no pleasure whatsoever. Si Nanyin raised her head, looking directly into Gu Muchen's eyes, which remained completely silent, devoid of any emotion.
