"How is it? It's not bitter anymore!"
Shangguan Wenyan smiled indulgently and took the bowl from her.
"Brother Wenyan, why does the fishy smell seem to be getting stronger?"
Ma Lihua smiled, but deep doubts lingered in her bright eyes.
She was not an innocent and naive girl. Although her physical condition had improved, the faint bloody smell of the medicine she took every day made her suspicious. However, out of trust, she still forced herself to swallow the medicine each time.
“It’s not heavy, it won’t have any effect on you.” Shangguan Wenyan replied frankly, his charming smile making Ma Lihua momentarily lose her composure.
"Tsk tsk tsk! Silly woman, the master is about to make his move."
Tie Zhu, who was eating bamboo nearby, suddenly started nagging and lit a candle for Ma Lihua.
After drinking the medicine, Ma Lihua felt a sudden dizziness, which was normal after taking medicine, and she was already used to it.
"Pear Blossom, go and rest in bed. I'll go boil some water," Shangguan Wenyan said gently.
"Okay!"
Ma Lihua obediently went into Shangguan Wenyan's room, lay down on the bed fully clothed, and fell into a deep sleep.
After finishing his chores, Shangguan Wenyan quietly came to the bedside, gazing at Ma Lihua's peaceful sleeping face. His lips curled up slightly, and his eyes revealed a hint of urgency and longing.
"Pear Blossom, you'll be mine soon. I don't want to wait any longer; I can't wait any longer."
He murmured to himself, a wicked smile spreading across his face.
Just then, it suddenly occurred to her that the pigs in the pear blossom garden hadn't been fed yet.
"Xuanming, go feed the pigs!" Shangguan Wenyan ordered without hesitation.
Xuanming remained silent for a moment, then replied helplessly, "Yes."
He was filled with helplessness. Five years of raising pigs had long since made him indifferent and calm.
But nowadays, feeding pigs, whether it's one day more or one day less, doesn't seem to matter that much anymore.
Looking at Xuanming's lonely figure, Tiezhu couldn't help but feel sympathy. After all, he was an ape-man among the demon beasts, so who else would it feed if not him?
Shangguan Wenyan walked out of the room and slowly pulled open the sleeve of his arm, revealing a layer of black scales that shimmered faintly on his arm.
His face was expressionless, his eyes were firm, and he reached out without hesitation to tear off the scales, instantly turning his arm red.
"Not completely undressed? That won't do. I can't let things go wrong tonight." He muttered to himself, then his figure flashed and he disappeared from the spot in an instant.
Deep in the Ailao Mountains, in a cold pool, the calm surface of the water suddenly rippled with huge waves.
A black dragon churned and churned in the water, its massive body creating surging waves with every movement. The trees around the cold pool rustled as they were battered by the powerful waves, as if trembling in anticipation of the unknown variables to come.
The black dragon's eyes gleamed with a cold light, as if it were gathering strength for its upcoming plan, or perhaps suppressing the surging emotions and desires deep within its heart.
Night fell as dark as ink, silently enveloping the earth. A cold wind howled outside, causing the tree branches to sway and tremble wildly.
Inside the room, Ma Lihua was overwhelmed by an inexplicable heat, feeling extremely uncomfortable all over, and only wanted to take off her clothes to seek some coolness.
"Brother Wenyan, I'm so hot!"
She let out a weak cry in her dazed state.
Upon hearing the sound, Shangguan Wenyan came over and gently placed his cold hands on her burning forehead. The coolness made Ma Lihua groan with pleasure. She instinctively reached out, wanting to get closer to this rare coolness.
"Pear blossoms, are you hot?"
Shangguan Wenyan asked softly.
"It's hot, very hot."
Ma Lihua responded impatiently.
"Shall I help you take off your clothes?"
His voice trembled slightly, revealing a hint of anticipation.
"Yes...yes."
Ma Lihua replied absentmindedly in her drowsy state.
Shangguan Wenyan's eyes darkened instantly. His hands trembled slightly as he untied the sash of his Miao costume, slowly removing the exquisite garment and carelessly tossing it onto the floor in front of the bed.
At this moment, Ma Lihua was only wearing a red bodice. The bright red color highlighted her beautiful face and graceful figure, causing Shangguan Wenyan's eyes to darken.
"Pear Blossom, it will hurt in a moment, bear with it, believe me, I won't hurt you."
He murmured softly, as if comforting Ma Lihua, or perhaps trying to embolden himself; his voice was so faint that it seemed only he could hear it.
As he moved, the bed swayed slightly, and the lamp went out unnoticed.
In the darkness, only faint, low moans could be heard, and clothes were scattered haphazardly on the ground, seemingly telling the secrets and passions of the night.
"Boom... Boom..."
In an instant, the once tranquil and dark night sky was shattered, thunder roared, and the booming sound was incessant.
The thunder echoed and swirled above the Ailao Mountains, as if it were about to tear the sky apart.
Thick streaks of lightning, like silver snakes dancing wildly, tore through the night sky, yet strangely, they merely intertwined and flickered in the air, refusing to fall.
At the same time, a very conspicuous purple cloud darted around frantically amidst the thunder and lightning, illuminating the entire sky with an eerie and dazzling light. With a deafening roar, it was as if the end of the world had arrived.
“Damn it…damn it…you ants…damn it…”
A terrifying roar drifted from the sky, deafening and filled with resentment and fury, reaching Shangguan Wenyan's ears one after another.
His expression hardened, and he quickly cast a protective barrier around the room.
Then, his gaze turned to Ma Lihua on the bed, his eyes instantly softening with tenderness. He gently stroked her face and then lovingly kissed her.

In the capital, Ma Linghua, who was sleeping, seemed to be awakened by some powerful force and suddenly rolled out of bed.
Her heart was instantly filled with panic. She rushed to the window and flung it open.
The scene of complete darkness and thunder and lightning filled her eyes, and the blinding lightning and deafening thunder made her feel increasingly depressed and restless.
She frowned, her eyes filled with worry and doubt, wondering what this sudden celestial phenomenon meant.
A strong sense of unease spread through her heart, making her feel incredibly small and helpless in the prelude to this storm.
Ma Hehua slept soundly, occasionally grinding her teeth, then giggling foolishly, before remaining motionless.
This thunder and lightning storm lasted for three days and three nights.
The monsters in the Ailao Mountains trembled in fear, terrified that the world-destroying lightning would descend from the sky.
Shangguan Wenyan got his wish. The bitterness, love, and delusions of the past tens of thousands of years erupted at this moment, like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins, running rampant and reckless.

He sat on the roof, looking at the divine punishment in the sky, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Man can conquer nature," he thought, "besides, I'm not even human!"
"Don't be too happy yet. Pear Blossom will return sooner or later, and that will be your death day."
A soft, sweet voice emanated from the purple cloud, like that of a baby, gentle and harmless.
"Oh? Is that so? I'm afraid it won't be as you wish."
Shangguan Wenyan had been stealing the source of the rules for a long time. In order to return to the God Realm and ensure that Pear Blossom would never be separated from him, he had been planning this for hundreds of thousands of years.
