Nan Zhi smiled: "Senior brother, I'll give you one more chance. Will you stay with me, or die?"
Shi Xiangming stared at the sword tip, which was so close it was almost within reach; it was just a hair's breadth away from blinding him.
His pupils constricted, his eyes filled with shock; he had never imagined that Nan Zhi's skills would be so formidable.
A sharp pain shot through his wrist, and it was still trembling, yet he hadn't seen when she had made the move.
The gap between them is not small.
So she had been keeping it from him all along.
She was not a disciple of the Moon Shadow Sect either.
With such unpredictable skills, who exactly is she?
Shi Xiangming, fearing for his life, immediately forced a smile and said, "I was just joking with you, wanting to see if your skills have improved recently."
"Then it seems I misunderstood you, Senior Brother." Nan Zhi sheathed her sword and smiled. "You promised me last time that you would kiss me when we met again, so come and kiss me now."
Shi Xiangming looked at her dark, freckled face and felt nauseous, but in order to survive, he reluctantly walked in.
Nan Zhi seemed unable to see his eyes, which were filled with resentment and humiliation. She smiled shyly and said, "Senior brother, shouldn't you close your eyes before kissing someone?"
Shi Xiangming immediately closed his eyes, unable to see Nan Zhi's ugly face. His expression became much more natural, and he slowly leaned in and kissed her.
As Nan Zhi watched him approach, a wicked smile curled at the corner of her lips. She took out a pig's tongue and circled it around his lips. Shi Xiangming was so disgusted that he tried to open his eyes, but she quickly covered them with her hands.
"Senior brother, your lips are so soft and sweet," she said shyly. "Why aren't you moving? Open your mouth and let's take this a step closer."
Shi Xiangming almost vomited, but he forced himself to endure it, opening his mouth in humiliation as if he were enduring hardship and biding his time.
Nan Zhi put the pig's tongue into his mouth and stirred it around a few times, and Shi Xiangming successfully vomited.
She let go of his eyes, watched him run to the side and dry heave, and said with a "sad" look, "Senior brother, what do you mean by this? Do you think I have bad breath?"
Shi Xiangming waved his hand: "No...no...ugh..."
Seeing Shi Xiangming vomit, Nan Zhi's eyes slowly turned cold.
If the relationship with Chu Yi was acting, then the relationship with Shi Xiangming before wasn't entirely acting either.
At least not during the time she was giving him money; she genuinely thought he was a good person.
But later, for some reason, I started to dislike it more and more.
Now, she feels even worse.
How could there be such a terrible man in the world? Selfish, unscrupulous, and even more despicable than her.
Suddenly, I felt a pang of nostalgia for Chu Yi, my little darling. Although he was destined for a short life, he seemed to be a decent person.
"Senior brother, it's okay, we'll kiss a few more times. I'm leaving now, you can go back by yourself after you've had your vomiting."
Nan Zhi smiled and said, "By the way, you should find some time to make things clear to Miss Li that you don't like her. If I see her bothering you again next time I come, I'll kill you both and bury you separately."
After having enough fun, Nanzhi quickly disappeared without a trace.
Shi Xiangming leaned against the wall, wiped his lips hard, and stared at her departing figure with a sinister look in his eyes.
Chu Yi's wedding date is set for next month, and the Eastern Palace has already begun preparing for the wedding.
Perhaps it was because Miss Li's birth date and time were truly compatible with the Crown Prince's, because everyone noticed that Chu Yi's spirits were getting better and better.
Chu Ning also frequently visited the East Palace, saying, "Brother, it seems that Miss Li is truly bringing you good fortune. I imagine your health will be completely restored once she marries into the family."
Chu Yi's expression was gentle. "I hope so."
Chu Ning continued excitedly, "Once you're fully recovered and have the Prime Minister's support, let's see how arrogant Chu Rui will be then!"
Chu Yi didn't say anything, but suddenly asked, "Is the injury on your shoulder healed?"
"It's all better now," Chu Ning said, patting his shoulder. "Look, I don't feel any pain at all."
Chu Yi patted his shoulder, "You've worked so hard, getting so badly injured while protecting me."
Chu Ning said sincerely, "Brother, don't say such things. We are brothers, and everything we do is only right."
Chu Yi smiled and said nothing more.
The wedding preparations are in full swing, and Nanzhi promised Chuyi that she would come to visit him often, so she would come over whenever she had time in the evenings.
When she came over tonight, she saw Chu Yi trying on his wedding robes, with no one serving him.
When Nanzhi climbed in through the window, she only saw his back. The crimson color and the jet-black hair created a strong contrast. Especially when he got closer, his profile looked even paler than usual.
He was chronically ill and rarely went out. His skin was unusually pale, but not effeminate, making people feel pity for him.
However, the gorgeous and brightly colored wedding robe he wore today actually made him look quite well, and he seemed much more vibrant.
"This wedding robe is lovely. The fabric is so soft; it looks very expensive." Nanzhi ran her fingers down his shoulder, seemingly unable to tear herself away. "After your wedding, can you give me this robe? I'll wear it from now on and become a notorious womanizer, a groom every night..."
It sounds wonderful!
Before he could finish laughing, Chu Yi said, "This outfit doesn't suit you."
Nanzhi thought he was reluctant to part with it, "How could it not fit? It fits perfectly. If you don't believe me, take it off and let me wear it."
Chu Yi took her hand and led her to the table, where Nan Zhi noticed a wedding robe.
"What's the meaning?"
"This set is yours, you can try it."
Nanzhi exclaimed in surprise, "I have one too?"
Chu Yi gave a soft "hmm".
Nan Zhi was so happy that she wanted to untie her belt, but when she saw Chu Yi's eyes halfway through, she thought of her plain figure and her pride rose again. She grabbed her clothes and went behind the screen.
"Don't peek, or I'll gouge your eyes out."
Chu Yi didn't have any children come forward, so he just watched her fiddling around behind the screen by herself.
I don't know how much time passed, but she still hadn't changed.
"What kind of lousy clothes are these? I feel so awkward wearing them. Chu Yi, come in and help me!"
Chu Yi smiled slightly and walked in, noticing that she was wearing her inner garment on the outside and her outer robe on the inside.
After he pointed out the problem, Nanzhi frowned slightly, "Isn't this a man's wedding dress?"
She had just seen the outer robe; the embroidery was so intricate and ornate that she assumed it was hidden inside. After all, for a man, having so much floral and bird embroidery on his clothes would attract attention and criticism.
Chu Yi said, "No."
Nanzhi suddenly looked up at him.
Chu Yi lowered his eyes and helped her take off her undergarment, asking somewhat guiltily, "Could you grant me one more wish?"
Nan Zhi narrowed her eyes: "What?"
Looking into her scrutinizing and dangerous eyes, Chu Yi said in a low, husky voice, "How about you dress up as a woman and marry me tonight?"
