Turning to look at Jiang Yuetong sitting by the window, he couldn't help but frown, and said softly, "It's chilly at night, Yue'er should be careful."
Jiang Yuetong didn't care at all, and smiled, "Seventh Prince, why did you come to my room so late at night just to talk about this?"
Lu Jingliang placed the soup bowl on the table, his captivating eyes fixed on her: "I made you some soup, Yue'er, drink it while it's hot."
The tone made it sound like she absolutely had to drink it.
Jiang Yuetong glanced at it once and then looked away, her eyes lowered as she fiddled with her fingers without looking up: "No need."
Lu Jingliang continued softly, "I added herbs to it to treat internal injuries."
"I won't drink it, take it away." Jiang Yuetong still refused. She took healing pills every day, and the backlash from the attack had almost healed, but the demon core had not yet been repaired.
The soup with herbs in it didn't really do her much good.
Lu Jingliang's gaze darkened slightly, and he stared at her for a long while before saying gently, "I put a ginseng that's been around for tens of thousands of years in there. If you really don't want to drink it, I'll just throw it away."
"Wait!" Jiang Yuetong exclaimed, standing up in surprise.
A ginseng that's tens of thousands of years old would fetch at least five thousand spirit stones at an auction, but this guy is wasting it by using it to make soup!
Jiang Yuetong felt her heart bleeding. This spendthrift son, he didn't use such good stuff to refine pills...
Just as she thought of this, Jiang Yuetong seemed to realize something, and her brows furrowed. If Lu Jingliang had herbs on him, why did he ask Jiang Xinyao for them in the first place?
"Want more?" Lü Jingliang asked with a smirk.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuetong quickly snapped out of her thoughts. She looked at Lü Jingliang with suspicion and said calmly, "Put it down and you can leave."
Lu Jingliang smiled and said, "Alright, Yue'er, get some rest."
After saying that, he looked away from her with his deep eyes, flicked his sleeve, and turned to leave.
After he closed the door and disappeared, Jiang Yuetong got up and strode to the table. Looking at the small bowl of medicine, she couldn't help but click her tongue twice: "He's such a spendthrift while I'm not around."
The Heart Eater within the contract space, having roughly understood what had happened between the two, replied without even looking up, "If Master is heartbroken, why not have him return the letter of divorce?"
Even without a letter of divorce, if the master is even more shameless, the two can still be husband and wife. This way, the master can not only control his money but also his demon realm.
Jiang Yuetong knew exactly what he was thinking, and secretly rolled her eyes, saying, "Come on! I'm managing Huanhai Prefecture right now and I'm swamped with work every day."
"If another demon realm were to appear, you and I would soon be ascending to heaven. Besides, my identity is complicated; how could I, half-human and half-demon, manage the demon realm? Those demons aren't pushovers."
Shi Xin nodded thoughtfully: "What Master said makes sense. But Lu Jingliang is handsome, talented, rich, and the Demon Emperor of the Demon Realm. Master and he are quite a good match."
"Of course, when has your master's judgment ever been wrong?" Jiang Yuetong said with a touch of narcissism.
“But it’s over between us. I don’t want to have anything to do with him anymore. Lu Jingliang is too domineering. I don’t dare to provoke him too much, for fear that he might do something crazy.”
Heart Eater finally opened his eyes: "Is this why you haven't driven him away?"
Jiang Yuetong pursed her red lips and sighed, "That's just one of them. The reason I was able to leave the Demon Realm in Wanchuan Forest back then was because I took his antidote for the cold poison."
Upon hearing this, Shi Xin finally understood.
