Qi Xue: "It was my oversight. Baby, don't be angry. Don't argue with Xianqing, okay? He doesn't know anything."
The original owner had the name Qi Xue in his memories. A few years ago, everyone avoided her like the plague. He never expected her to be so beautiful. Nan Yu was still not fully recovered and was coughing, so Song Xianqing quickly brought him warm water.
I took a sip and choked, spitting out half of it.
Qi Xue helped by handing two tissues to the boy. Nan Yu took them, his voice hoarse, and said, "Thank you."
Qi Xue: "You're welcome. Are you alright?"
He shook his head after a moment's hesitation: "It's nothing, Master, Master..." He didn't know how to address her and his words were halting. Qi Xue noticed his discomfort and smiled: "You're not my disciple either, so don't call me Xianqing. Call me sister."
"Sister." This came out much more naturally. "Have you had dinner?"
Qi Xue laughed again: "We're not that far apart in age, and we'll be familiar with each other from now on, so we don't need to use honorifics. Eat something; you haven't eaten all day, so have something to warm your stomach. Don't hold a grudge against Xianqing. That kid was like a wild man in Beishan, and he only looks decent this time because of you. He genuinely likes you. It's not that I, as his master, am speaking up for my disciple. Xiaoyu, I have high hopes for you two. Look how well you've grown together."
He turned his apprentice's face towards him, looked at Song Xianqing, then at Nan Yu, and clicked his tongue, saying, "A match made in heaven."
Song Xianqing's upturned lips were almost impossible to suppress.
He still prefers to hear his master speak.
Nan Yu wasn't familiar with Qi Xue, so she could only smile and nod.
After Qi Xue finished speaking, she let go and smiled, "Then I won't disturb your rest any longer. Eat well, I'll be going now."
Although the original owner only knew about Qi Xue from her memories, she was indeed a woman with a bad reputation, and people would shake their heads and click their tongues when she was mentioned.
It now appears that the rumors were untrue.
She is clearly beautiful and gentle.
After Qi Xue left, Song Xianqing fed Deng Xin noodles. He didn't enjoy being fed as much as he did when he was fed. He took the noodles and finished them in no time, even drinking the soup. He wiped his mouth with a tissue and went back to bed.
Song Xianqing washed the dishes and boiled a kettle of water.
Wet the towel, wring it out. The hot water was so hot that my palms turned red. While it was still warm, I put the hot towel on the boy's forehead. His head, which had been throbbing a second ago, instantly felt better.
Song Xianqing even helped him press his head.
After the treatment, the headache from the lamp wick was relieved considerably.
Song Xianqing kept changing his towels. Applying a hot towel when he was uncomfortable was really comforting. Even though Dengxin had slept enough, he still wanted to sleep, so he closed his eyes and stayed obediently.
Song Xianqing was busy until 10 p.m.
Take out the thermometer and take the boy's temperature.
It's not burning much anymore.
I took off my shoes, lifted the covers, got into bed, and slept with my wife.
She touched his little face, kissed his forehead, and asked softly, "Does it still hurt?"
Dengxin put her leg on his leg, shook her head, and frowned slightly: "How come your master is so young?"
Song Xianqing: "It's good to have a good attitude. I'm only 31, not old."
Lampwick: "Looks like he's only 21."
Song Xianqing: "She uses bubble larvae as a face mask and takes baths to tighten her skin. Do you want some? I'll go get you some."
The corner of Dengxin's mouth twitched slightly: "Is it that bubble bug?"
Song Xianqing: "Mm."
Bubble worms, which are like silkworms, have wriggling legs that are highly poisonous. Silkworms spin silk, and these worms produce bubbles, which are also poisonous. How can you use this stuff as a face mask?
Lamp wick: "Won't I get poisoned?"
Song Xianqing: "She knows how to tune it. It's a girl's skill. I haven't learned it. If you want it, I'll ask her tomorrow."
The wick: "Don't ask, no."
Song Xianqing touched her little face and asked, "Are you still angry?"
Lamp wick: "What are you angry about?"
Song Xianqing laughed, "It's nothing, we're still the best of friends." As she spoke, she pulled him tightly into her arms, pressed her face against his, and kissed him passionately.
Nan Yu sneezed, then covered Song Xianqing's face and pushed her away, saying, "I have a fever, stay away from me, or you'll catch it."
The boy kept sticking to the object and rubbing against it, muttering, "I'm healthy, I'm not afraid."
While the act of pretending to be a ghost was quite egregious, Song Xianqing's attitude in admitting his mistake was good, and he was unaware of the situation beforehand, which increased Nan Yu's goodwill towards him, especially when he was sick and she took good care of him.
My resolute heart slowly crumbled.
It's highly unlikely that you'll be able to get it.
...
Qi Xue didn't go back to the next room. She had stayed up too late and couldn't sleep at this hour, so she decided to go out for a walk. It had been a long time since she had been here.
The tourist attractions are still very crowded at night.
The moment Qi Xue appeared, it was as if an invisible spotlight shone down on her head, attracting the attention of 98% of the people. The remaining 2% were reserved and too shy to look directly at her, so they glanced at her out of the corner of their eyes.
When visiting a Miao village, most people choose to experience the local customs and traditions, and their clothing style also conforms to local customs. Qi Xue's red cheongsam is not uncommon; she is the only one among them so far.
Her skin was so white it practically glowed, and her figure wasn't skinny; she had curves in all the right places, giving her a slightly fleshy look, yet her body was incredibly slender and graceful—a true beauty.
Liu Pianpian was extremely worried; she didn't know what to do.
What if the priestess finds out?
She's finished.
When a young woman has something on her mind, she gets a little temperamental. Holding a handful of pebbles, she stands on the wooden bridge and throws them into the water one by one. Qi Xue, wearing high heels, also comes to the wooden bridge.
She saw Liu Pianpian.
But they didn't recognize him.
Since leaving, she hasn't paid much attention to what's happening here.
Qi Xue has always appreciated all beautiful things equally.
I glanced at it a couple more times.
Liu Pianpian caught a glimpse of a red figure out of the corner of her eye. She turned her head to look at something, but was instantly stunned. Her first glance was stunning, but her eyes darkened upon closer inspection.
Qi Xue didn't know her.
She knew Qi Xue.
Her own uncle was harmed by this wicked woman!
Sensing the girl's hostility, Qi Xue raised an eyebrow, but didn't take it seriously, passing by the girl without stopping.
I plan to take a quick look around and then head back.
Suddenly someone darted through the crowd, nearly bumping into Qi Xue. The woman sidestepped to avoid him, her brows furrowing in displeasure. She realized he was looking for the girl on the bridge and vaguely heard something about a high priest.
It's been two or three years since I last saw the priest.
Qi Xue disliked the people in the temple, but she enjoyed watching the excitement.
The rush suggests something must have happened.
She was bored anyway, and couldn't sleep when she got back. When there was something going on, she would watch the excitement; when there wasn't, she would find something to cause trouble for them. Just thinking about the high priest's furious face made her want to laugh.
Liu Pianpian heard that the priestess was looking for her.
Wait in her room.
I was so scared I almost flew out of my skin.
He dropped the stone in his hand and ran in a panic, but after crossing the bridge he realized he was going the wrong way, so he quickly turned back and hurried home.
I hope that person won't be discovered.
Liu Pianpian panicked, and Qi Xue became even more curious.
The two ran ahead, and she followed at a leisurely pace.
She placed a tracking Gu on Liu Pianpian, so that even if a person disappeared, as long as their aura remained, she could pinpoint their location precisely. She walked until she arrived at the temple, a place that not just anyone could enter.
Judging from that girl's age, could she be the new Holy Maiden?
Qi Xue used a Gu poison to bewitch the guards and entered openly. Before she had taken two steps, the guards suddenly became furious. Liu Pianpian turned pale with fright when she saw that the man had been discovered.
Kneeling before the priestess, her body trembled like a leaf, and she shook her head.
"No, no, priestess, I have nothing to do with him. He wandered into the back forest by mistake, I rescued him and brought him back, we didn't do anything."
She didn't want to be consumed by the myriad poisons.
In no mood.
The high priest was enraged this time, slamming his hand heavily on the table and breaking off a corner of the wooden table. "This is utter nonsense! How many days has this been going on?"
Liu Pianpian dared not refuse to answer, but she was afraid that the priestess would really throw her to be fed to the Gu poison. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked pitiful.
Qi Xue shifted her position, took a closer look at the man's face, and found him to be quite handsome. This saintess was truly audacious, daring to harbor a man in secret. Her beautiful eyes flickered, and she curled her lips into a smile.
As the other party's anger subsided, Qi Xue swayed her slender waist and went inside, giving the door a token knock. To the others, she was already inside.
When the high priest saw her face, his already furrowed brows darkened even more: "Qi Xue, what are you doing here?"
Qi Xue smiled. She was too beautiful. Her smile was simply captivating. She came up to the man, looked him up and down, and then looked at the high priest: "My man has run away. I've come to find him."
Not only did the high priest look grim, but Liu Pianpian did too.
The high priest's eyes instantly flashed as if they held razor blades, sweeping towards Si Yuan. Si Yuan: "..."
He looked at the woman; he didn't recognize her.
Liu Pianpian's face turned deathly pale.
Everyone knows what kind of person Qi Xue is—fickle and promiscuous. She actually likes Si Yuan quite a bit, but there's a difference between men and women, and her own identity is special. And yet, in order to save him…
Everything is in chaos right now, and she doesn't know what to do.
Originally, it was pitiful that Si Yuan, who was so innocent, lost his memory.
If he were Qi Xue's man, that would be incredibly annoying.
"What is the High Priest lecturing about? Could it be that this girl is with him..." Her red lips parted slightly, and she raised her hand to cover her mouth, feigning shock.
"Family scandals must never be aired in public," the High Priest said sternly. "Nonsense! If he's your man, take him away! If he wanders off again, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Ever since Qi Xue left the temple, the high priest's love turned to hatred.
She used to value women's talents highly. Since she took over the position of priestess, she had never seen anyone more spiritual than Qi Xue. It's just a pity that her face was ruined. Sometimes being too beautiful is a sin.
Later, they couldn't keep him.
Then he turned to hatred.
In particular, in the following years, many men were poisoned by Qi Xue's curse, and the entire temple hated her extremely.
"Then don't be polite. I didn't say he was. He hasn't been back for years. I never thought the temple would become a brothel. If the saintess is a prostitute, then the priest is... a madam?" The woman laughed after saying that, covering her mouth and tilting her head back. Her laughter was exaggerated yet elegant.
High Priest: "Qi Xue!"
Liu Pianpian's eyes also reddened. This person's words were so awful; no wonder he was so wicked!
Qi Xue said cheerfully, "That's settled then, I'm leaving now."
No one could stop her from leaving, but the high priest, worried that she would spread rumors, warned her in a stern voice: "Don't talk nonsense when you're out here!"
Qi Xue scoffed and walked away in her high heels.
Si Yuan suddenly spoke up: "Wait!"
Qi Xue walked forward as if she hadn't heard him. Si Yuan glanced at Liu Pianpian and said, "Thank you for saving me. I will definitely come to thank you in person another day." He looked at the High Priest and said, "I did not have any relations with Miss Liu. I stayed because my injuries had not healed. I slept on the floor at night. There is always a difference between men and women. I am sorry that you misunderstood. Please do not punish Miss Liu. I will be leaving now."
After saying that, he nodded slightly and ran towards Qi Xue.
Liu Pianpian frowned. To save him, she had used a symbiotic Gu, so he couldn't be too far away from her. With the High Priest present, she dared not speak, her heart pounding.
If the mother Gu is on your body, there is a way to break the bond.
Once the debuff is lifted, he will undoubtedly die.
But the thought of him abandoning his savior to chase after a demoness made him just as despicable as Song Xianqing! The priestess was right, no man is any good!
Liu Pianpian was still punished by the High Priest.
The man followed Qi Xue, the woman pouting as she led him on a detour. Si Yuan followed silently. Just as Qi Xue was about to abandon him in the deep mountains and forests to fend for himself, Si Yuan sensed her intention and grabbed the woman's arm.
Qi Xue frowned and finally stopped, looking directly at the man: "Let go!"
Si Yuan: "Wife."
Qi Xue froze, disgusted, and shook off the man's hand. "Who's your wife! Get out!"
Si Yuan: "I forgot, you just said you were looking for a man, and you looked at me several times. I also felt that you were very familiar. You should be my wife. I didn't have a relationship with that girl. She saved me. I didn't betray you. I'm sorry."
Qi Xue shook off the man and couldn't help but slap him. "Are you sick in the head?! You've already clung to her, and you still dare to cling to me? Who knows you! Get lost!"
Si Yuan hugged the woman, the soft, boneless touch making his back stiffen, but it had come to this point, and he had no choice.
I can only make use of this woman in front of me.
He will make it up to me later.
"I was wrong, my wife. I was bitten by a poisonous snake, and the poison hasn't completely cleared up yet. I've also forgotten a lot of things. I didn't mean to not come to you. Please forgive me, my wife."
Qi Xue felt a pang of pain, like she had shot herself in the foot. That damn man, going around claiming wives everywhere, he's really confident!
But when Qi Xue saw his face, she smiled.
Sure, let's use him to annoy those people at the temple.
Nothing happened, but the fact that he came out of the new Saintess's room is a stain on his reputation. If he keeps showing up in front of them for no reason, I wonder if the priest will be so angry that he will lose two years of his life.
Qi Xue smiled slightly at the man, her eyes also revealing calculation.
"Amnesia?"
Si Yuan: "Probably, I don't remember a lot of things."
Qi Xue: "Do you remember your name?"
Si Yuan shook his head.
Qi Xue smiled again: "Let me give you a name."
Si Yuan nodded.
Qi Xue used the moonlight to look the man up and down. He had broad shoulders, narrow hips, and long limbs. He was dressed so that it was hard to see what was underneath, but he was alright.
“Call me Little Dog. My surname is Qi, so you’ll be called Qi Little Dog.”
Qi Xue was obviously teasing him.
Si Yuan nodded seriously, "I can be called anything."
Qi Xue was amused.
It was getting late, and going to Beishan was too far, so he took his people back to his apprentice's wife's place to stay for the night. As Si Yuan walked along the road, he became more and more familiar with it, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes. This was probably what they meant by getting there effortlessly.
Qi Xue looked at him with a half-smile.
Upon reaching the second floor of the warehouse, Qi Xue took out a small box from under her pillow. Inside were several white pills. She took one out and handed it to the man, saying, "Eat this."
Si Yuan hesitated, faced with an unknown medicine.
Qi Xue laughed: "What, are you afraid I'll poison you?"
With concern and genuine sincerity, Si Yuan asked Qi Xue, "Is it poisonous?"
Qi Xue: Yes.
Si Yuan frowned: "I really didn't betray you."
Qi Xue: "If you don't eat, I'll throw you into the mountains to feed the snakes. If you eat, you can stay with me for now."
There was no other way. He had lost several teammates and had barely escaped with his own life. If he gave up halfway, their sacrifice would have been in vain. He gritted his teeth and swallowed the medicine.
