When Ye Qingyun took a shower the next day, he could still see many hickeys scattered in various corners, which made him blush and even feel weak in the knees when he recalled them.
He said it himself: given his relationship with Gu Chenyuan, how could it be just a simple massage?
Having a boyfriend is great, it's exciting!
Gu Chenyuan probably thinks so too.
Ye Qingyun was very satisfied and ticked off the "full-body exploration" item in her little notebook about the progress of her love affair.
At this rate, it probably won't be long before he and Gu Chenyuan take the final step.
Of course, the prerequisite is to first resolve this mess, ensuring Gu Chenyuan's life is no longer in danger and that he can run around without getting hurt. Only then can he reveal the truth that he cannot have children and has never been pregnant, before proceeding to the final step.
He hoped everything would be resolved quickly. He didn't have any grand ambitions; he was content just being with Gu Chenyuan and researching things he liked.

Ye Qingyun continued her research on the supernatural ability decomposition machine, while closely observing the Royal Family's movements and all surrounding activity in case of a sudden enemy appearance.
That day, Ye Qingyun noticed something was wrong.
In the sky above their planet, many round objects, resembling surveillance cameras, appeared.
Ye Qingyun went online to check the interstellar network and saw that many people were saying that these strange things had also appeared in the sky above their planets. They didn't know what they were for, and they didn't seem to be bothering them.
Ye Qingyun frowned.
This thing covers numerous planets, and the amount of money spent on it must be countless; it's impossible that it's completely useless.
There aren't many forces that can afford to spend so much money, operate unchecked, and monitor so many planets.
Ye Qingyun's first thought was of the source of his worries these past few days—the royal family of the interstellar empire.
If those things were indeed arranged by the royal family, then their target is very likely him and Gu Chenyuan.
Ye Qingyun desperately hoped it wasn't true, but the current situation forced him to overthink it.
Ye Qingyun spent several more days hacking into the Royal's internal network and, as expected, discovered the instructions they had given to set up those surveillance devices.
Having identified the target, Ye Qingyun immediately began investigating the data from the newly appearing surveillance cameras.
You don't know until you investigate, and once you start investigating, Ye Qingyun discovers something incredible.
From the newly added data in the database, Ye Qingyun discovered his own data, as well as Gu Chenyuan's various data.
This data includes not only facial features, but also various aspects of body shape and physique, and even information about Gu Chenyuan's abilities. It's safe to say that if they were to appear, there's a high probability they would be discovered.
Ye Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief: "Luckily, we haven't gone out these past few days, otherwise we don't know where we would have been arrested."
After Ye Qingyun finished speaking, she realized something was wrong.
Why are the royal family so eager to confront him and Gu Chenyuan? Is it because they believe Gu Chenyuan is the one they've been looking for, and they're so eager to make an example of him?
Are you so confident in your weapons that you want to quickly eliminate all potential threats?
Ye Qingyun hadn't planned to confront the royal family so soon, as he still had many preparations to make.
Ye Qingyun's first thought was to modify the data about him and Gu Chenyuan inside the surveillance camera. By modifying the data, even if he and Gu Chenyuan appeared openly under the monitor, they wouldn't be discovered.
Ye Qingyun was too impatient and immediately wanted to change the data about him and Gu Chenyuan, but Gu Chenyuan stopped her before she could do so.
Gu Chenyuan advised, "Don't rush, observe for a few days first. Since they've gone to such great lengths to find the two of us, they won't let the data be easily modified. Don't act impulsively."
Gu Chenyuan paused, tightened his grip on Ye Qingyun's hand, and said softly, "I won't let anything happen to you."
Ye Qingyun slowly grasped Gu Chenyuan's hand in return.
What could possibly happen to him? The one in the most danger right now is clearly Gu Chenyuan himself.
Ye Qingyun followed Gu Chenyuan's advice and did not make any changes to the data for the time being, but observed it secretly from the side.
Two days later, Ye Qingyun discovered that someone would come to check the data on the monitor every now and then to ensure that the data had not been modified.
Obviously, if the data is modified rashly, it will be discovered quickly, and the planet they are on will be located based on the modified monitors.
Ye Qingyun sighed silently. Gu Chenyuan looked at him with a complicated expression.
Ye Qingyun shuddered at his gaze and put on a tearful expression: "Don't even think about secretly causing trouble, fighting them to the death, or getting my freedom back. I'm still waiting for you to take care of me. How can you bear to abandon me and our unborn child?"
After a long silence, Gu Chenyuan responded softly, "I won't leave."
Ye Qingyun was finally relieved. He explored the area monitored by the monitor again and found that there were blind spots in the monitoring area. However, depending on the position of the monitor, the blind spot area was different every day.
Ye Qingyun made a list of blind spots for the near future just in case. After confirming that the surveillance cameras wouldn't detect them anytime soon, she finally had the mind to think about other things.
"How did they become so sure about you?" Ye Qingyun asked. "Aren't they worried that their weapons wouldn't be a match for you, and that you might take this opportunity to defeat them?"
Logically speaking, given the incredible abilities of Gu Chenyuan's bloodline, a normal person shouldn't provoke him. What if Gu Chenyuan didn't originally intend to cause trouble, but was provoked into attacking? Wouldn't that be courting death?
Gu Chenyuan shook his head and slowly said, "I think they are not certain that I am that person, or rather, they think I am not that person, which is why they dare to be so bold."
Ye Qingyun was taken aback, and a conspiracy immediately came to mind.
If the emperor had known that Gu Chenyuan was that person, he probably wouldn't have dared to act so recklessly. But the emperor probably didn't think it was possible to run into the legendary figure by chance. He only knew that Gu Chenyuan's appearance matched the legend and that he had certain strength, so he thought of taking Gu Chenyuan away.
After taking him away, they would announce to the people that Gu Chenyuan was the legendary figure who intended to seize power from their royal family. They would then arrest Gu Chenyuan and execute him in front of the entire interstellar population.
This move was intended to deter those who were dissatisfied with the royal family and were plotting against them, and to protect their own positions.
Ye Qingyun didn't know if his guess was correct, but the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
"But how can they be so confident that you're not the right person?" Ye Qingyun was still puzzled.
Gu Chenyuan smiled and reached out to touch Ye Qingyun's face: "Because of you."
Ye Qingyun: "...?"
What do you mean? Does he not deserve the title of the legendary humanoid weapon's lover?
“Your attitude… doesn’t seem like that of someone with absolute power,” Gu Chenyuan said, his dark eyes looking at Ye Qingyun with warmth instead of the coldness he showed when looking at others. “There’s no ulterior motive in your gaze, which doesn’t meet their standards.”
Ye Qingyun was taken aback.
This is still his fault?! Is that even possible? That's incredibly difficult!
Gu Chenyuan leaned over, and Ye Qingyun subconsciously closed her eyes to accept the kiss, but her thoughts involuntarily drifted elsewhere.
He originally intended to proceed slowly with the second antidote, waiting until Gu Chenyuan had figured things out before making it. But given the current situation, he decided to find a way to get Gu Chenyuan to drink the antidote first.
Otherwise, if he were to die unexpectedly one day and wake up to find Gu Chenyuan suffering from severe pain due to bloodline confinement, or even die along with him, that would be absolutely terrible.
Although he didn't actually die, wouldn't that bloodline constraint transfer to his new body?
The antidote must be made as soon as possible.
It's been so long, Gu Chenyuan should already understand that he won't leave easily, so you can drink the antidote without worry, right?
——
To make the antidote, Gu Chenyuan first needs to provide him with the materials.
How will he obtain the materials this time?
The system gave Ye Qingyun a long list of suggestions: 【This is so simple! Your identity is different now than before! Just beep, then beep beep beep, and you can easily get beep—you agree, right!】
Ye Qingyun: [...Since you know it will be censored, please don't use so many suggestive words. Thank you.]
However, the system did make a few correct points. Given his current status, obtaining the materials from Gu Chenyuan would be an extremely easy task.
In order to make the antidote as quickly as possible and not waste time on analysis, Ye Qingyun chose to use the same materials as last time.
As for how to obtain this material... he might have to become a pair of gourd brothers with Gu Chenyuan tonight.
Ye Qingyun's ears turned red again as she thought about that scene.
He can do it!
————
That evening, when Gu Chenyuan massaged Ye Qingyun, Ye Qingyun no longer gritted her teeth and tried not to make a sound, but instead made some noise.
In the darkness, Gu Chenyuan stopped what he was doing.
“Chen Yuan…” Ye Qingyun reached out and placed a hand on the back of Gu Chenyuan’s hand, and said softly, “I’m in pain.”
"Where does it hurt? Did I press the wrong pressure? Does it hurt?" Gu Chenyuan's tone was unreadable.
Hey! He's given such obvious hints! Why isn't Gu Chenyuan taking the bait?!
Ah, he hated that Gu Chenyuan was like a block of wood!
He clearly sensed long ago that Gu Chenyuan was in the same state as him!
"Tell me where I'm hurting," Ye Qingyun punched Gu Chenyuan's strong arm, "where you're hurting, that's where I'm hurting! I don't care, I'll help you, and you help me!"
Gu Chenyuan remained silent for a long time before reluctantly declining Ye Qingyun's invitation: "No, I've read the information. You can't do this now; it'll strain your energy."
Ye Qingyun suddenly remembered that she was pregnant and was so angry that she almost vomited blood on the spot.
Ye Qingyun had no choice but to change her approach: "Then I'll just help you out."
Gu Chenyuan shook his head and placed Ye Qingyun's hand back in place: "No need, I'll endure it with you."
Ye Qingyun was touched by Gu Chenyuan's thoughtfulness, but she couldn't refuse it! She had to use it!
Ye Qingyun gritted her teeth and reached out her hand again.
Gu Chenyuan's breathing became heavy for a moment, and Ye Qingyun said softly, "But you've been holding back for me, and it hurts me too."
————
After everything was over, Ye Qingyun excused herself to wash her hands and slipped into the bathroom.
He took out a small bag he had prepared beforehand from his pocket and put the things in his hand into it.
This scene felt familiar to Ye Qingyun. When he first obtained the materials, he secretly packed them up here, waiting to use them for experiments.
Gu Chenyuan threw away the antidote that time, so what about this time?
With time so tight, he might not have the chance to make a third antidote for Gu Chenyuan.
Since that's the case... then he will personally feed Gu Chenyuan the antidote, making sure he drinks it.
