Chapter 19: Love Potion and Aphrodisiac
Sang Ying thought Xie Lingyu would return when she woke up the next day, but she didn't see him return for several days in a row. Only the medical cultivators from the Immortal Alliance sent her medicine every day.
Is there a lot going on at the Immortal Alliance? Or... is he with Shen Ying?
Thinking of this possibility, Sang Ying pursed her lips, shook her head, and simply picked up the glass mirror, wanting to watch the group of unserious chattering friends and change her mood.
Black Cat Swordsman: [Mimi has run away from home again. Have any of you fellow cultivators seen her?]
Delivery Master: [I think if you, fellow Daoist, didn't spend all your time thinking about dyeing its fur, it wouldn't run away from home.]
Master Bukong: [Sharing a photo: (101 jin of snowflake fish)]
Master Bukong: [I won]
Tianhu Jushi: [I'm not convinced! Let's try again!]
The Hermit of Filling the Lake: [If I hadn't wasted time cleaning up the mess my stupid son made, how could I, the dignified Fishing Master, have lost to you?]
Master Bukong: [By digging holes to fill the lake?]
Tianhu Jushi: [This is called tactics.]
Sang Ying blinked. He liked fishing, and his son had gotten into trouble a few days ago... Could this hermit who was challenging others to fishing competitions be the Lord of the Demon Realm?
Stock Market King: [So boring! There haven't been any love stories about young couples to listen to lately. It's getting so dull.]
Master of Rainbow Clouds Cave: [No? What about the Jade Sword Master and his white moonlight? Everyone keeps talking about them lately.]
Delivery Master: [I've heard something about it; it seems to be a tragic love story. The two lovers are unable to be together due to numerous obstacles. To repay a debt of gratitude, the Jade Sword Master has no choice but to marry Sang Ying, the daughter of the former sect leader of the Wuwen Sect.]
The Demon King of Stocks: 【…Never mind. By the way, where are Fellow Daoist Sleepyhead and her husband?】
Master of Caixia Cave: [I don't know either. A few days ago, I messaged her about medical cultivation, and she just replied that she didn't need it, and then I haven't heard from her since. I don't know what she's been doing these past few days.]
Master of Rainbow Clouds Cave: [@Lord Sangbiao, you're more familiar with Fellow Daoist Sleepyhead, do you know why she hasn't appeared lately? What happened?]
Lord Sangbiao: [Meow meow meow? What, Fellow Daoist who can't wake up? She told me before that her name is Sang Ying.]
Lord Sangbiao: [And what about the "white moonlight"?]
The group chat suddenly fell silent.
Upon seeing this, Sang Ying rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on.
Unexpectedly, the couple who got married first and fell in love later, whom the group members had been advising on, and the couple rumored to have a tragic love story, are actually the same person.
The people in the group were obviously very protective of their own. They hadn't paid much attention to Xie Lingyu and Bai Yueguang's affair, treating it as just a joke. But after learning that Xie Lingyu was Sang Ying's husband, whom she had been married to for three years and had been sleeping in separate rooms, they started speaking up for Sang Ying and criticizing Xie Lingyu.
Tianhu Jushi: [What a scumbag! He marries one woman but still has his eye on the other.]
Master Bukong: [+1]
Stock Market Speculator: [Exactly!]
Master of Caixia Cave: [What era are we living in? Repaying kindness still involves offering oneself in marriage? Can't we find another way?]
Sang Ying felt she still needed to respond, so she sighed softly: "Thank you all for your concern, fellow Daoists. I have decided to divorce."
Stock Market Speculator: [Dump him! Dump him!]
Master of Rainbow Cloud Cave: [Have you made up your mind, fellow Daoist?]
Sang Ying: [Hmm.]
Stock Market Speculator: [Dump him! Dump him!]
Black Cat Swordsman: [There are plenty of male cultivators in the world; you will surely meet someone better, fellow Daoist.]
Stock Market Speculator: [Dump him! Dump him!]
Tianhu Jushi: [Ahem, you've met my good-for-nothing, foolish son, young friend. Perhaps you could consider him?]
Sang Ying: "..."
He truly is the ruler of the demon realm.
This seemingly ordinary group is actually full of hidden talents.
Master of Caixia Cave: [@StockMarketKing, why are you so excited about their family matters?]
The Stock-Buying Demon King: [Sell it off, cough, I just can't stand this kind of despicable behavior from male cultivators, is that wrong?]
Sang Ying put away the glass mirror, not wanting to look anymore, got up from the bed and sat in front of the dressing mirror.
She's feeling much better these past couple of days and plans to go out for a walk and get some sunshine.
Brushing her hair aside, Sang Ying noticed a red mark on her neck, which seemed odd.
Although the environment in Nanlijing is humid and full of insects and snakes, there are insect-repelling sachets given by Xiao Lingzhou hanging in the room, so there should be no mosquitoes.
She touched it and didn't feel any itching or pain. Sang Ying looked in the mirror and then gave up and didn't pay any attention to it.
These past few days, perhaps because she's not used to sleeping in a different bed, she hasn't been sleeping very well, and she always feels aches and pains in her limbs when she wakes up.
She styled her hair in a simple bun and went out. Disciples passed by everywhere in the Immortal Alliance's territory, but none of them recognized Sang Ying, and no one paid any attention to her.
Sang Ying found a pavilion to sit in and bask in the sun, and overheard the disciples who were also resting in the pavilion chatting.
"Hey, I saw the Holy Maiden of Yaochi at the Director's place today. She's so gentle in person. Just as the rumors say, she's beautiful and highly cultivated."
"Speaking of which, do you know about her and the Jade Sword Master?"
"What? Didn't the Azure Jade Sword Lord already have a Daoist partner?"
"Oh dear, who doesn't know that Qingyu Sword Lord's marriage to that woman was just to repay a debt of gratitude and had no feelings for her? In fact, Yaochi Saintess is the one Qingyu Sword Lord truly loves. I've even seen the two of them walking together, laughing and chatting these past few days."
Sang Ying: "..."
How come she gets attacked just for coming out to sunbathe? It's like they're chasing after her to kill her.
Sang Ying stood up, leaning on a pillar, and walked away from the people into the woods. She found a sycamore tree and sat down next to the stump.
She closed her eyes, and the sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting shadows on her face.
A dark shadow seemed to flicker before her eyes. Sang Ying opened her eyes and saw a silvery-white snake tail swaying in front of her.
Seeing that she had opened her eyes, the snake tail retracted and turned back into legs. The boy sat on a tree branch and said leisurely, "You still have the leisure to sleep now?"
It is indeed the Southern Demon King, Yin Tu.
Previously, Wei Li had trapped him in the Water Moon Mirror Flower, disguised him as him, and deceived his second senior brother Xiao Lingzhou.
"Your husband is about to run off with someone else, aren't you worried at all?" Yin Tu raised an eyebrow.
Sang Ying picked up a leaf and placed it on her face, then closed her eyes again and began to speak: "I'm in a hurry. You only see me doing nothing every day, staying up late and getting up late, and brushing the glass mirror all day long, but you don't see me working hard to cultivate, staying up late to draw talismans, and persisting in studying. You don't see it, and I haven't done it."
Yin Tu: "..."
Two seconds later, I couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"You're quite an interesting person."
The boy nimbly jumped down and poked her leaves. "I have a way to help you. Do you want to hear it?"
"If you're going to talk, then can you please stay away from me?"
Sang Ying lifted the leaves and sat up, expressionless. "There are so many bugs on you that they're blinding me."
"You're so ignorant. This is called Gu (a type of poison/gu). Don't you think it's cute?"
Sang Ying counted out ten spirit stones and placed them in front of him: "Turn left after leaving the forest at the Immortal Physician's Office, and get a more expensive appointment."
Yin Tu clicked her tongue. "I'm trying to help you, and this is how you act. Are you really just going to watch your husband get together with that so-called 'white moonlight'?"
"What else can we do?" Sang Ying glanced at him, "Go and bang your head against a block of tofu?"
"Useless."
Sang Ying leaned against the tree: "It's okay to be useless, having any aura is already amazing. Please move aside, you're blocking my sunbathing."
Yin Tu pulled out a small box, her tone contemptuous: "It's just a man? This is the most famous love potion in the Southern Territory. I refined it myself, and it's the most vicious potion in the world. As long as you put the offspring potion into him, the love potion will cause it to flare up every month. Only by cultivating together with you can it be relieved, so he can never leave you."
Sang Ying politely declined: "Thank you, but it's not necessary. I've already decided to divorce you. You should keep it for someone who needs it."
He had always been the one begged by others to refine Gu, but this was the first time in his life that he had offered to someone and was even refused. The dignified Demon King of the Southern Territory was a little annoyed and embarrassed.
He tossed the jade box to Sang Ying, then picked up the spirit stones from the ground, saying, "Since you've already paid for it, it's yours now."
After saying that, he disappeared in a flash. Sang Ying looked at the small jade box in her hand and fell into deep thought.
Is this... a forced sale?
Sang Ying felt that going out to sunbathe today was not a good idea. She sighed, got up and prepared to go back to her room. Not long after she walked, she ran into a beautiful female cultivator dressed in revealing clothes.
He leaned against the tree and glanced at Sang Ying, his eyes sparkling and captivating, then gently beckoned to her with his finger.
Sang Ying, puzzled, walked over and asked, "Miss, is there anything I can help you with?"
The female cultivator looked her up and down, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly as she drew closer, her fragrance wafting over. "You're Sang Ying?"
Sang Ying had never met this female cultivator before, but her appearance seemed to fit the image of a sect. A female cultivator from the Hehuan Sect? What could she possibly want with her?
She gave a soft "Mmm," and said, "Yes."
The female cultivator clicked her tongue, her eyebrows furrowing with displeasure. She raised her hand and pinched her thin arm: "With your frail and sickly appearance, you'd collapse at the slightest breeze. It would be a miracle if you could control a man."
"If a man dares to fool around outside, it must be because his family discipline is not strict enough, or he hasn't been beaten enough."
Sang Ying: "...?"
She was still a little confused when the female cultivator started talking to herself.
"But your husband is indeed quite formidable, so it's normal that you can't beat him. How about this, let me teach you a couple of moves in a different way."
"This is our sect's most precious treasure, the Love Binding Pillow. Just a tiny bit of it is enough to make even a man as virtuous as Liu Xiahui succumb. The Love Binding Pillow's effects last longer than ordinary medicines. After he first used it with you, he couldn't live without you for a whole year."
"Pair it with my sect's unique secret manual. You don't need to learn much; just a few tricks will be enough to deal with someone who has little experience. Let me tell you, men are creatures driven by desire. Once you use this, I guarantee he'll be completely submissive and won't have anyone else in his heart."
The female cultivator took out a secret manual with her left hand and a small pink medicine bottle with her right hand, and put it into Sang Ying's hand. Then, with a deep expression as if she had done a good deed, she left without a trace.
Sang Ying: "..."
She looked down at her hands: a love potion on the left and a love drug on the right.
not good.
She looks so much like a vicious villain who would stop at nothing to steal the male lead from the female lead and then suffer the consequences.
"Junior Sister, you're here! I've been looking everywhere for you."
Suddenly, Xiao Lingzhou's voice rang out in front of her, and Sang Ying looked up.
Xiao Lingzhou's smiling gaze fell on the thing in her hand, then slowly froze, and he spoke stiffly.
"Junior Sister, you..."
Sang Ying: "..."
Second Brother Pig, I really just went out to bask in the sun, do you believe me?
————————
I expect we'll all need these, mainly to make sure my little sister eats well [shy emoji]
