Chapter 56
The cage was dark and humid, the air was stuffy and hot, and desires rose and fell with reason.
In the silence, only their heavy breathing could be heard. Despite their recent intimacy, Xie Wen felt no decrease in body temperature. Looking at Chu Xianyue's face with hazy eyes, she said, "Help me."
Chu Xianyue lowered her head, her face flushed, her breathing becoming heavier and heavier. Her hands, hanging by her sides, curled up, her nails unconsciously digging into the soft flesh of Xie Wen's arm. He wanted to strengthen his will to get up, but the hem of his clothes was held back by a force. Looking down, he saw her slumped on the ground, her hands clutching his clothes, her face slightly tilted back, a few strands of hair damp with sweat sticking to her face, and her clear eyes filled with a misty look.
When Chu Xianyue heard Xie Wen call his name, his inner defenses crumbled. He had thought that Xie Wen was just confused and didn't even know who was in front of him.
But she knew that he was Chu Xianyue.
A hoarse voice escaped Chu Xianyue's throat, but he ultimately did not get up. "I will transfer my spiritual power to you."
"good."
How they ended up together, how their lips collided, and who took the first step—nobody knows.
He simply became increasingly addicted. He even felt it wasn't enough. He did exactly what he thought.
Chu Xianyue leaned forward, gripping Xie Wen's head tightly with one hand while holding Xie Wen's waist with the other, easily lifting him up and changing his position.
This time, he took the lead, pinning her down and holding her waist with his other hand. He kissed her deeply, their teeth clattering together, their heavy breaths mingling. Their bodies pressed tightly together, separated only by two layers of fabric, their body heat enveloping them in a warm, moist embrace.
Chu Xianyue gripped Xie Wen's waist with one hand. Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside, and someone broke open the prison gate, creating a gust of wind.
Jin Huaran stood at the prison gate, hearing only the heavy breathing of a man and a woman, and seeing only a patch of messy weeds. The air was thick with an ambiguous atmosphere.
Jin Huaran clenched his fist and slammed it hard against the pillar! One punch wasn't enough, so he punched it three or four more times until his hand was bleeding profusely and the pillar finally collapsed.

Chu Xianyue gently helped Xie Wen down by supporting her waist. He then used his magic to send them back to Feiying Pavilion.
The night was quiet, with only the chirping of insects outside.
Cherry blossoms fluttered in the air, and inside the window, two figures were entwined.
As her clothes fell away, two clean figures met each other in complete nakedness. When she once again came into his view without reservation, he couldn't help but recall the countless days and nights he had dreamt of this body.
All his inner demons and desires came from her.
He admitted that he was insatiable when it came to her.
He lowered his head, looking at the tears in her eyes and the tears on her lips. He saw that the woman beneath him had her eyes glazed over because of him, and her rosy lips were opening and closing because of him.
All the emptiness, all the unspeakable, were deeply filled.
Cherry blossoms drifted down outside the window, the water murmured, and the petals flowed away with the river. The sound of the water flowed ceaselessly in the deep night.

Yun Yan and Shen Lizhi paced back and forth in front of the cabin on Half Moon Peak. Ever since they learned that Xie Wen had single-handedly stormed the dynasty, neither of them had been at peace. Yun Yan had also considered charging the dynasty alone, but then thought it wasn't worth it.
Going there again would just be sending them to their deaths.
He had no choice but to go to the Tongtian Terrace on the back mountain to find Chu Xianyue. Unexpectedly, Chu Xianyue had already regained consciousness and knew the whole story. He had the blood bead's ability to sense things, so he naturally knew from the beginning that Xie Wen was in trouble.
Chu Xianyue instructed Yun Yan to take good care of the sect.
Then he single-handedly stormed the dynasty. Yun Yan hesitated several times, wanting to speak but stopping himself. "Master, you just forced yourself out of seclusion, and your injuries haven't fully healed yet." "But now, Senior Sister Xie Wen's fate is unknown."
Yun Yan couldn't stop Chu Xianyue, and he was helpless. He could only pace back and forth in front of the mountain gate. Shen Lizhi didn't have Yun Yan's patience. "What should we do? What should we do? Will Awen be alright?"
"Let's go find her, or it will be too late if we wait any longer." Shen Lizhi tugged at Yun Yan's sleeve, glanced at him, and then helplessly let go. "Forget it, what's the use of relying on you? You're completely unreliable."
Yun Yan didn't want to argue with Shen Lizhi at this time; worrying wouldn't help. They spent every day with Xie Wen and had never noticed her unusual behavior. Now that she thought about it, Xie Wen's act of avenging her sister was inevitable.
Such a deep-seated hatred can only be avenged by personally killing the enemy. Otherwise, the long nights to come will be filled with unrest.
No one knew that Shen Lizhi had quietly left the Tianyan Sword Sect at this time.
The cherry blossoms at Feiying Pavilion are still falling, and the river flows on.
Xie Wen stood on the platform, her hands resting on the railing. She needed to clear her head and think about what would happen after today. When she was in danger, she could deceive herself that everything she did was for survival, and that otherwise she would only face death.
However, after regaining my composure, I look back.
However, they discovered that lust was no longer simply about detoxification; it concealed much more private feelings.
The poison of love can be cured, but how can one resolve the issue of personal feelings?
Xie Wen touched the blood bead on his neck. Its spiritual power was recovering, but it still lacked the rich spiritual energy it once possessed. He wondered how long it would take to recover before he could transform back into human form.
Chu Xianyue walked over at some point and stood next to Xie Wen, asking calmly, "Still feeling unwell?"
Xie Wenfei glared at Chu Xianyue, annoyed that he had asked such a question as soon as he arrived, disturbing her peace of mind. Her carefully constructed mental defenses crumbled once more. She turned her head away, shook her head, and changed the subject, saying, "When will the blood beads recover?"
Chu Xianyue glanced at Xie Wen's neck, where red marks lay beneath his collar, blooming like red flowers on his fair and delicate skin. He looked away and said, "The Moon-Viewing Grass on the back mountain can remove the red marks. I'll pick some for you tomorrow."
Xie Wen realized what Chu Xianyue was talking about. Although she hadn't looked in the mirror, after those days and nights of unrestrained intimacy, she should have known that she was no longer innocent. Red marks covered her body, all traces of their intimate encounters.
Xie Wen awkwardly covered the skin on his neck with his hand, nodded hesitantly, and hummed in agreement.
She turned to look at him, pointing to the blood droplet, "This? When will it heal?"
Chu Xianyue stretched out his slender fingers, picked up the blood bead with both hands, examined it, and said, "The blood bead's spiritual power is exhausted. It will take at least some time to recover."
Xie Wen said "Oh" again. Doesn't that mean that before the blood bead's spiritual power recovers to the point where it can contend with the power of the Lover's Curse in her body, Xie Wen will still have to suffer from the Lover's Curse?
Once isn't enough, so you want two or three more?
It almost killed her in one go. If it weren't for Chu Xianyue, she might have been tortured to death.
Chu Xianyue said, "It's alright, I'm here."
Xie Wen looked at him, and whether it was her imagination or not, she saw a fleeting glint of lust in his eyes once more. It was so intense, as if it wanted to devour her as well. But soon all desire was concealed in his misty, deep eyes.
Xie Wen asked, "Does Master have any way to completely remove the curse seal?"
Chu Xianyue shook his head, "The Lover's Curse has taken hold, and there is no cure."
Xie Wen opened his mouth, then fell silent. So when you said you were here, you meant you could "get involved" anytime, anywhere to help me detoxify?
She didn't know when it started, but she really felt that the way he looked at her was inappropriate.
Especially in bed.
Now that Chu Xianyue has broken the rules so drastically, won't the Path of Ruthlessness be affected? Xie Wen wondered, and so he asked the question.
Chu Xianyue replied, "It's alright. It won't shatter because of this." If it would shatter because of emotions, then his Heart of the Ruthless Path would probably have shattered hundreds or thousands of times over.
