He forgot that she lacked internal energy and, having just left the valley, had little experience navigating the martial world. Therefore, she wouldn't instinctively resort to the "turtle breathing" technique like he did upon arriving in such an unfamiliar and strange place. That's why…
"It's so hot! Is it because there's no ventilation here? Brother Yunyang, aren't you hot?"
Just as Fang Yunyang was thinking this, he heard Tang Ning say something in a daze, and at the same time, she pulled on his collar even harder.
Under the dim light, Tang Ning's face grew redder and more radiant, even her breath seemed to carry a faint warmth, while her eyes, like stars in the night sky, were filled with a moist luster.
Knowing that she had most likely been poisoned and feeling anxious, Fang Yunyang quickly began to think of a way out. They couldn't get out of here anytime soon, and he didn't even know what kind of drug Tang Ning had been given, only that it was some kind of aphrodisiac. Perhaps... he could look in the bottles and jars on the table to see if there was an antidote. If all else failed, he still had his internal energy...
As Fang Yunyang was thinking this, he immediately felt Tang Ning grab his sleeve, lift her head, and look at him intently. "Something's wrong, Brother Yunyang, I really... I feel unwell. My whole body is so hot, and my hands and feet are a little weak. Could I have been poisoned? But that shouldn't be the case. Master said that my Frost Jade Body is immune to all poisons. No matter how poisonous or deadly the poison in the martial world is, it won't have any effect on me... How come..."
Hearing her say that, Fang Yunyang immediately gave a bitter smile to himself. Poison indeed had no effect on you, but this wasn't even poison. It seemed that the Valley Master of Medicine God Valley hadn't taught her this kind of thing, which was why she still didn't know what was wrong with her...
After considering it in his mind, Fang Yunyang was about to start explaining to Tang Ning.
The next second, Fang Yunyang, lost in his own thoughts and completely unprepared, was suddenly pulled onto the carved bed beside them by Tang Ning, whose legs were so weak she could barely stand.
Suddenly falling onto Tang Ning and touching her incredibly soft body, Fang Yunyang was so shocked that he froze. After realizing what had happened, he hurriedly tried to get up.
Tang Ning, her cheeks flushed, suddenly reached out and gently grabbed his collar, lifting her face to sniff his face and body. "Just now... I was just about to say it, Brother Yunyang, you... smell so good... and you even feel cool..."
As they were talking, she gave him a quick kiss, her lips meeting Fang Yunyang's lower lip. A flash of pure joy crossed her eyes. "It really is cold..."
Having never been near a woman in his life, Fang Yunyang felt a sudden rush of heat as his lips touched such a soft, warm touch. It was as if a riot of fireworks were exploding in his mind at the same time. For a moment, he couldn't even find his own thoughts. Half of his body seemed to be numb and he just stared blankly at Tang Ning below, whose face was full of joy and anticipation.
Especially since the other party seemed completely unaware of what had happened, her soft eyes were filled with a mixture of innocence and burning desire as she stared at him intently. Even a seasoned veteran of the world of romance might find it hard to resist such a gaze, let alone a greenhorn like Fang Yunyang who had just lost his first kiss!
Looking into Tang Ning's eyes, Fang Yunyang subconsciously held his breath. For a moment, he felt that Tang Ning was like a fairy from a fantasy novel he had read. Every smile and frown drew his gaze. He gripped the sheets beneath them tightly and tentatively lowered his head, touching Tang Ning's red lips again, then gently touching them once more...
As expected, close contact would cause a significant increase in favorability. Seeing Fang Yunyang's favorability increase by +1 each time, Tang Ning quickly spoke to her little system in her mind, "Ten minutes. Remember to remove the negative buff from me immediately after ten minutes, understand?"
On the other side, 54088, who was excited about Fang Yunyang's rising favorability, heard Tang Ning's words. Although it had a few doubts in its heart, it had already followed Tang Ning through a world. It hadn't learned anything else, except for one thing: no matter what happened, it should unconditionally listen to Tang Bao.
So the little system quickly nodded its head and began to keep track of time diligently.
You asked Tang Ning why, under these circumstances, she still had time to set a small alarm clock on 54088.
It's because she hasn't reached the point where she needs to do anything intimate with Fang Yunyang yet.
After all, Fang Yunyang, a traditional hero, has a strong sense of morality, and the values of a man's responsibility and commitment have been instilled in him repeatedly since childhood.
If he really did that kind of thing with her, he couldn't possibly not take responsibility for her. Even if Yan Xingzhi later described his feelings for her as being deeper than the sea, or even brought up the massacre of his family back then to play the victim, he probably wouldn't let her go easily, because in his mind, since he had taken her body, he had to take responsibility for her.
In the story, Fang Yunyang's gradual acceptance of Huo Qingqing's feelings is not unrelated to what happened between the two of them in that cave.
Therefore, what Tang Ning needs to do now is to offer some incentives and set a trap to keep the situation within a certain range, and that's all.
She didn't want to spend her life with Fang Yunyang in this world. There were two other targets waiting for her. Not to mention Ye Xiao, Yan Xingzhi... just based on his attitude of not hesitating to kill her before, she already remembered him.
Thinking of this, Tang Ning raised the corners of her mouth high, and then stopped resisting her body's desires, letting herself completely succumb—for ten minutes.
In the dimly lit cave, the golden silk quilt on the bed was already in disarray, and Tang Ning's outer garment was nowhere to be seen. As a cool sensation rushed into her mind, she suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes instantly becoming clear, with no trace of the confusion and intoxication from before.
Just as Fang Yunyang was about to take things further, Tang Ning reached out and suddenly pressed against his chest. "Brother Yunyang, there's something hard poking me on the bed. It hurts a bit. Could it be a hidden weapon left behind by those five people?"
She asked this with an innocent expression.
In the midst of his confused and passionate state, Fang Yunyang was jolted awake as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head when he suddenly heard Tang Ning's question. He opened his eyes abruptly, looked at the questioning look in Tang Ning's eyes, at the ambiguous marks on her neck and collarbone, and felt the changes in his own body. In a panic, Fang Yunyang got up too abruptly and fell off the bed.
"Tang Ning...I...I'm not...please don't...don't come any closer..."
With his mind a jumbled mess and a wave of guilt washing over him, Fang Yunyang stammered as he stopped Tang Ning from getting any closer.
Especially when he saw Tang Ning's expression, as if she had no idea what had just happened, Fang Yunyang felt as if his guilt was about to overwhelm him.
Even though they're engaged, they're not married yet. How could he... how could he...? And just now, Tang Ning was accidentally drugged, but he showed no signs of being drugged at all. He must have been out of his mind, that's why...
Thinking this, Fang Yunyang quickly calmed his unruly body with his internal energy, stood up from the ground, and then knelt on one knee in front of Tang Ning without hesitation, lowering his head, "I'm sorry, Tang Ning, hit me, no matter how you hit me, how hard you hit me, even if you stab me, I won't fight back, as long as you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Tang Ning's cheerful voice rang out.
"Ningning."
"What?"
Fang Yunyang was taken aback.
“My master has always called me Ningning since I was a child. You are my fiancé, the person who is closest to me in this world besides my master, so I hope you can call me Ningning too.”
Tang Ning smiled gently.
Fang Yunyang looked at Tang Ning in disbelief.
Then I saw her frown slightly, looking troubled. "Although I don't understand why you apologized to me, Brother Yunyang, I forgive you no matter what it was, and I won't hit you anymore. Anyway, I know that Brother Yunyang has always been the best person in the world, and I won't be angry no matter what you do."
She leaned forward with a bright smile.
"Why……"
Fang Yunyang was so shocked that it took him a long time to manage to ask such a question.
They had never met, neither before nor after the engagement. He hadn't treated her particularly well. Over the years, if it weren't for Huo Qingqing's constant entanglement, he would have almost forgotten that he had such a fiancée in Medicine God Valley. Why...
"For no reason other than because you are Brother Yunyang."
Tang Ning, who had gotten out of bed, reached out and helped Fang Yunyang up from the ground, speaking in an extremely matter-of-fact manner.
The moment the words left his mouth, Fang Yunyang pulled her into his arms, holding her tighter and tighter. The man took deep breaths, inhaling the fragrance of Tang Ning's hair. Fang Yunyang felt a strange sense of satisfaction and joy that he had never experienced before, not even when he was doing chivalrous deeds, mastering the sword manual, being praised by his master, or being respected by his fellow disciples. He even felt that as long as he held Tang Ning like this, he would never be able to leave this cave, and he would have no urge to do so.
“…Ningning.”
With a slight blush, Fang Yunyang called out softly.
"Um."
Tang Ning nodded vigorously, but as the effects of the medicine took hold, she began to move uncomfortably in Fang Yunyang's arms again.
Fang Yunyang, realizing that the effects of the drug on Tang Ning hadn't worn off yet, quickly released his hold and began channeling his inner energy into her. He was afraid that if he delayed any longer, Ning Ning would suffer more. Rather than wasting time searching for that nonexistent antidote, it was better to directly channel his inner energy into her. As for any other solution, Fang Yunyang hadn't even considered it at this point.
Because he felt that it was a desecration of Tang Ning.
They will get married eventually. After they get married, anything is fine, but before they get married, he just can't let her suffer this injustice, especially in such a simple, dark and cramped place as a cave.
After thinking this through, Fang Yunyang increased the flow of his internal energy.
After an unknown amount of time, the two, who were trapped in the cave and unable to distinguish between day and night, realized they were exhausted and decided to rest before thinking about how to leave.
After the effects of the drug wore off, Tang Ning lay on the bed, resting her chin on her hand, and smiled as she watched Fang Yunyang, who insisted on sleeping on the floor, slowly blush rise to his face.
"What's wrong? Can't you sleep?"
Taking a deep breath, Fang Yunyang turned around to look at Tang Ning on the bed.
"Hmm, it feels weird to sleep in a place like this..." Tang Ning replied, then hesitated for a while before slowly asking, "After we deal with the Five Demons of the Western Regions, do you, Brother Yunyang, Sister Qingqing, and Young Master Yan have anything else to do?"
Upon hearing the question, Fang Yunyang thought for a moment, "There shouldn't be any left, why?"
"That……"
"Um?"
"Will you take me back to the Empty Mountain Sect? Master said that Medicine God Valley is too small, and herbs are planted everywhere, so it would be better to hold the wedding at the Empty Mountain Sect. He originally wanted to leave the valley with me, but Medicine God Valley can't do without him, so he asked me to go to the Empty Mountain Sect to find you first, and then come back to find me after he's confirmed. So what do you mean..."
Before she could finish speaking, Tang Ning pursed her lips shyly.
"good."
Upon hearing this, Tang Ning quickly looked down at Fang Yunyang, who was not far from her.
But she saw that he looked at her with an unusually solemn expression, as if he was making a promise to her with his eyes.
"After we get out of here and deal with the Five Demons of the Western Regions, I'll take you back to the Empty Mountain Sect and we'll get married, okay?"
"Okay, of course."
Tang Ning nodded vigorously.
As long as you establish a flag, everything will be fine.
Having received a satisfactory answer, Tang Ning had just pulled her head back, ready to go to sleep, when she suddenly seemed to remember something and quietly lowered her arm, slowly groping around on the ground. Before long, a strong hand completely enveloped her small hand.
Tang Ning immediately chuckled to herself.
On the other side, Fang Yunyang, lying on the ground, also held Tang Ning's hand tightly with slightly flushed cheeks, not letting go even though he was asleep.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Even though the two found the incense burner that emitted a strange musky scent in the corner and extinguished it with hot spring water, the cave still emitted a very faint fragrance, perhaps because it was not well ventilated. Helpless, Fang Yunyang had no choice but to continuously send internal energy to Tang Ning for the next two days.
Even the most powerful martial arts masters in the world, such as the leader of the Jiyue Sect, could not withstand such a large consumption of internal energy. So, after he finished transferring his internal energy, he had just withdrawn his hand when he felt dizzy and collapsed onto Tang Ning's shoulder.
Unexpectedly, at that moment, the wall behind the carved bed was suddenly and loudly flung open from the outside.
Standing anxiously outside the door, Huo Qingqing never expected that opening the mechanism would reveal such a shocking scene.
"What are you doing!"
She ran forward in a fit of rage.
A long black shadow flashed by.
"careful!"
Yan Xingzhi, who was behind her, quickly reached out and pulled her back. At the same time, he drew a dagger with his other hand and cut the dark figure in two.
Unexpectedly, even though it was hit right in the vital spot, the upper half of the thing was still alive and bit down on Yan Xingzhi's tiger's mouth.
"hiss."
Yan Xingzhi frowned slightly as he looked at the wound oozing black blood.
They've arrived.
Tang Ning, who had been paying close attention to the situation, raised an eyebrow in her mind.
It must be admitted that the Five Demons of the Western Regions are truly despicable and ruthless, and they are particularly cunning and methodical in their actions.
I remember that their names were all related to poisonous creatures, such as spiders and bats. These creatures were raised by them since childhood and were extremely poisonous. But the most poisonous one was a desert viper raised by the Viper, who loved to study all kinds of poisons among the Five Demons. Because it had grown up eating poison, it was extremely venomous from skin to teeth, inside and out.
They deliberately left the snake at the mechanism. If their own people came in, the snake would definitely not react, but if it was a stranger, it would be the perfect tool for them to ambush them.
In the story, Huo Qingqing, who was also loud and boisterous, lured out the snake. However, the one who blocked the snake for her was Fang Yunyang, who was now completely drained of his internal energy. In order to save Fang Yunyang, the original owner took the initiative to reveal her icy jade body and said that she could use her blood to save people.
Then, she bled herself until she fainted, and when she woke up, she was still subjected to all sorts of tricks by Yan Xingzhi. Meanwhile, Huo Qingqing, who had been taking care of Fang Yunyang, gained a lot of goodwill from him after he woke up, making him quickly forget about Tang Ning's sacrifices.
In terms of misery, no one can compare to the original owner.
Now……
Tang Ning looked at Huo Qingqing, who was so anxious that tears were falling from her eyes, and Yan Xingzhi, who was still gently comforting her even though he had been poisoned because of Huo Qingqing.
Even though she already knew from the plot that the extremely poisonous medicine given by the Jiyue Sect Leader was too domineering in order to forcibly temper her bones, and that Yan Xingzhi, who was almost immune to all poisons like her, didn't care about this little bit of poison, Tang Ning still stood up with some worry.
“I… I was told by my master since I was a child that I have a body of ice and cold, which is immune to all poisons, and that my blood can cure all poisons. Why don’t I give some blood to Young Master Yan? That should be able to cure the venom of that snake.”
Tang Ning smiled with an innocent and harmless expression.
Fang Yunyang's favorability rating has reached 80%, and she, being too fickle, is no longer willing to pretend to be an innocent little rabbit with him.
Her words instantly drew everyone's attention to her: Fang Yunyang was anxious, Huo Qingqing was overjoyed, Yan Xingzhi...
Yan Xingzhi clenched his fist, lowered his eyes, and concealed his determination.
So it was you.
Finally, we found it...
Tang Ning!
