After a day and a night, Ahri was exhausted.
Eighteen times, a full eighteen times, it was all about slowly grinding and exploring.
During this time, he even had the mute servant brew medicine and fed it to her mouthful by mouth. How could he possibly administer medicine orally?
She neither fainted nor died; the aphrodisiac was neutralized, and the original poison was suppressed.

Dugu Han showed no signs of fatigue; on the contrary, he looked even more handsome. He held Ah Li's hand and took her pulse, saying, "Senior Sister, is there anywhere else that hurts?"
Ah Li silently withdrew her hand and hid under her blanket. "It's alright, I'm just tired and want to sleep."
Dugu Han looked at his empty hand and said, "Then I'll stay with you."
"No need, you can go back." Ahri pulled the blanket up and hid her face inside.
Dugu Han was taken aback. "Senior sister, are you angry with me?"
"No, you are the Valley Master. There are still many things in the valley that need your attention. Go and get busy."
Ah Li turned her back; she didn't hear Dugu Han leave, and the sound of his breathing was still audible.
He hadn't left yet, but remained silent.
At this moment, Ahri asked softly, "If someone else were poisoned like me, would you try to save them in the same way?"
Upon hearing Ah Li's words, Dugu Han replied without hesitation, "No, only my senior sister is worthy of my devotion."
Ahri curled her lips into a smile, but still hummed, "Then I'll take a nap first. When I wake up, I want to eat the food you cook, the dishes you stir-fry."
"Okay, I'll do it."
Dugu Han tucked the blanket around Ah Li and then went out.
The moment Dugu Han stepped out of Ah Li's room, the warm and approachable expression on his face vanished. He looked at the servants tending Ah Li's courtyard, wondering if they, like the previous person, would harbor evil thoughts towards his senior sister.
The thought of his senior sister sleeping peacefully and adorably in his arms made Dugu Han want to kill those who were secretly spying on her.
"The mute slave."
Dugu Han called out, and the tall, strong, bear-like mute slave reappeared.
“Kill them… never mind, just drive them out of Medicine King Valley. Those who don’t want to leave, just kill them.”
Dugu Han thought that killing too many people would leave a bloody smell, and his senior sister always had a keen sense of smell, so he couldn't let her think that he was a person who liked killing.
And the poison in my senior sister's body needs to be cured as soon as possible.
He wanted his senior sister's legs to cling tightly to his waist.
However, the senior sister was too naive and kind; she didn't know that his feelings for her had changed when he became close to her.
Therefore, he couldn't scare his senior sister; he had to take it slow.
After that day, Dugu Han often came to Ali's yard, and would often massage Ali's legs and feet, and would also help Ali walk slowly with her leaning on him.
However, walking was too difficult for Ah Li. She couldn't feel anything at all, and she didn't even feel whether she was taking a step or not.
"Junior brother, forget it, I'm already used to sitting in a wheelchair."
Ahri nudged the person next to her, and then glanced at the wheelchair not far away. She really disliked the feeling of being unable to control her own destiny.
"Senior sister, let's take it slow."
Dugu Han lowered his head, smelling the faint medicinal fragrance on Ah Li's body, and said, "Let me massage my senior sister's legs."
Ah Li was picked up by Dugu Han and placed on a bamboo couch to the side.
Ah Li's skirt was pulled up to her legs by him, but she didn't feel the person pressing on her legs.
She watched Dugu Han's changing expression calmly, her eyes filled with coldness.
At this moment, Ah Li pressed down on Dugu Han's hand and said, "Junior Brother, I heard that someone has been seeking medical treatment outside the valley these past two days?"
