"Your Highness, you feel so comfortable! I'm so hot, so hot..."
Xu Yuehuai felt a fire burning inside her, her body was constantly getting hot, and her eyes were glazed over. She was feeling extremely uncomfortable.
When Qi Guze saw Xu Yuehuai like this, he immediately felt that something was very wrong with her.
He immediately pulled Xu Yuehuai's hand away, telling her not to touch him all over.
"Ah Yue, wake up a bit now. How are you feeling right now?"
He worried that Xu Yuehuai might be hallucinating due to the snake venom.
Some toxins are particularly deadly. They may not cause any harm to the body, but they can induce all sorts of fantastical hallucinations, driving people into a frenzy, and then to madness, ultimately leading to exhaustion and death.
Qi Guze noticed that Xu Yuehuai was somewhat disoriented and looked to be in great danger.
After hearing Qi Guze's question, Xu Yuehuai slowly replied, "I... I feel like there's a fire burning inside my body, it's so painful! Your Highness! It only eases a little when I'm near you."
Listening to Xu Yuehuai's description, Qi Guze felt that this snake venom was not simple.
"Then you should come closer to me."
He reached out and hugged Xu Yuehuai.
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai obediently hummed in response.
Qi Guze felt that Xu Yuehuai's body was incredibly hot, and when they got close to each other, he felt as if the fire in his body was also ignited.
He also noticed that his body temperature was rising, while Xu Yuehuai, like boiling water, was becoming even hotter.
"Your Highness! It's hot! It's still so hot!"
Xu Yuehuai kept moving closer to Qi Guze.
But at this moment, Qi Guze no longer felt that icy cold sensation.
There was no way to alleviate Xu Yuehuai's condition.
She bit her lip until it bled, but she didn't let go.
Qi Guze only realized that Xu Yuehuai was hurting himself when he smelled the blood.
He said softly, "Ah Yue, be good, let go of your mouth, don't hurt yourself."
But Xu Yuehuai seemed not to hear these words and continued to bite her lip tightly.
Qi Guze quickly lowered his head, pressed his lips to Xu Yuehuai's lips, and guided her to gradually release his lips.
He licked the bloodstains left on Xu Yuehuai's lips with the tip of his tongue, cleaning the damaged area thoroughly.
"Ah Yue, don't hurt yourself."
"Tell me if you feel unwell."
Xu Yuehuai whimpered, "Your Highness, it's so hot! I feel uncomfortable!"
Qi Guze also felt the abnormality in his body. Only then did he realize that Xu Yuehuai and he were not hallucinating at all.
The snake venom they both suffered from was perhaps a very potent aphrodisiac.
Some animals carry aphrodisiacs in order to reproduce.
Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai encountered this kind of situation.
Qi Guze didn't expect that they were lucky enough to avoid encountering deadly snake venom.
However, this kind of aphrodisiac can be even more dangerous if not handled properly.
He asked Xu Yuehuai, "A-Yue, I suspect the snake venom we've been given is a kind of aphrodisiac. If we want to detoxify it, it can only be done by both the man and woman..."
Xu Yuehuai felt extremely hot, so hot that her head was throbbing, and she didn't initially understand what Qi Guze meant.
But after listening for only a short while, I immediately figured out what was going on.
"Your Highness! I do!"
Qi Guze asked, "Have you thought this through?"
"This concerns your reputation as a young lady!"
Xu Yuehuai said, "I was originally a widow, why should I care about reputation?"
"Reputation is for outsiders to judge, but only your life is truly your own."
To save his life, even if the two of them weren't in love, Xu Yuehuai would take necessary measures in this situation.
Now that they are in love, why should they care about anything else when they are together?
Upon hearing Xu Yuehuai's words, Qi Guze's lingering resentment dissipated instantly.
"Alright, since you're willing, then we'll... But please believe me, I will never betray you in the future!"
He gently untied the sash around Xu Yuehuai's waist.
Xu Yuehuai nodded. "Your Highness, of course I trust you."
Qi Guze paused for a moment, then continued to unbutton Xu Yuehuai's clothes.
The two lay naked, skin to skin, their bodies burning with heat. They gazed into each other's eyes and, in the bitterly cold cave, committed the most intimate act...
The sky was dim, the night was filled with passion, birds chirped softly, dewdrops rolled down, the sun rose high, and the two were still not awake.
Xu Yuehuai's arm, exposed to the air, was covered in red marks.
Qi Guze also had several small scratches on his face, and his neck was even more unsightly.
Xu Yuehuai and the others finally woke up in the late afternoon of the month.
Upon hearing Xu Yuehuai let out a painful groan, Qi Guze quickly asked, "A-Yue, how are you?"
"Did I hurt you somewhere last night?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai's face turned bright red.
She was too embarrassed to speak and hugged herself tightly.
Seeing Xu Yuehuai's expression, Qi Guze assumed that the poison in her body had not been cured.
He quickly added, "Why is your face still so hot? Could it be that your poisoning is more severe than mine, and the toxins in your body haven't been completely neutralized yet?"
Xu Yuehuai immediately shook her head and backed away, clutching her clothes.
"Your Highness, the poison in A-Yue's body has long been neutralized, please do not come any further."
"Ah Yue, what are you doing? Did I hurt you last night? If you feel unwell anywhere, you must tell me."
Qi Guze was afraid that Xu Yuehuai would be afraid of him because of what happened last night.
Xu Yuehuai shook her head. "Your Highness, you didn't hurt me. You're fine. But... let me rest by myself for a while longer."
Qi Guze suppressed a laugh and nodded.
Xu Yuehuai then closed her eyes again and rested properly for a while.
Qi Guze heard the sound of dewdrops falling to the ground nearby, so he quickly picked up a leaf and went to catch the water droplets.
Although they can go without food for several days now, if they don't replenish their water supply in time, they probably won't last until Qi Guze comes here to rescue them.
While Xu Yuehuai was resting, Qi Guze collected a lot of water.
He held water in his hands and waited beside Xu Yuehuai until she woke up.
Xu Yuehuai rested for a long time before waking up.
When she woke up, she saw Qi Guze holding a bottle of water in his hands. He seemed to have been in that position for several hours, frozen in place, without changing his posture.
Xu Yuehuai was somewhat surprised, "Your Highness, you won't just sit here holding this leaf of water for a long time, will you?"
Qi Guze was worried that Xu Yuehuai would feel sorry for him and not drink the water later, so he quickly said, "No, I just brought it a little while ago."
