When the Soul-Devouring Pill was mentioned, Chu Chu, who was initially furious, seemed to have been doused with cold water, and even her anger dissipated considerably.
Chu Chu glanced at He Yunxiao, then at the "bad woman" standing next to him, and her tone softened. Besides, He Yunxiao had indeed told her before that he had found a way to counteract the Soul-Devouring Pill.
"So what if she helped you remove the Soul-Devouring Pill? I can still save your life."
Seeing that Chu Chu's tone had softened, He Yunxiao knew that there was still a chance for things to turn around. As long as the usually domineering Chu Chu was willing to give in, the biggest obstacle would be gone.
If we disregard the atmosphere of the two female leads confronting each other, He Yunxiao feels that things are pretty good as they are now.
You should know that right now, he has one arm around Nanzhu's small waist and the other holding Chuchu's small hand.
The two female protagonists were so focused on dealing with each other that they completely forgot about themselves.
The mantis stalks the cicada, while the fisherman reaps the benefit.
This is absolutely amazing!
"Ahem. Chuchu, Rou'er, shall we find a quiet place to talk?"
Neither of the two female leads agreed.
After Meng Qingrou's passive personality was triggered by Chu Chu, although she was still being held by He Yunxiao, she no longer clung to him as tightly.
Needless to say, Chu Chu maintained the image of a domineering female demon with a frosty face from beginning to end.
What should we do?
We can't keep arguing in the street, can we?
He Yunxiao was still holding Chu Chu's small hand, so he naturally couldn't let this advantage go. He gently scratched Chu Chu's palm, which made Chu Chu frown and glare at him angrily.
"Chuchu, there's a pavilion in the lake inside the Marquis's residence. Shall we go there to talk?"
"I will not go."
Let's try someone else.
"Rou'er... let's sit down and talk slowly."
Meng Qingrou glanced at He Yunxiao, then at Chu Chu.
"Rou'er will listen to her brother."
He Yunxiao tentatively asked again, "Chu Chu?"
Chu Chu looked at Meng Qingrou in He Yunxiao's arms, her brows furrowed with frost, and coldly snorted, "I said I'm not going."
He Yunxiao roughly understood. He stopped hugging Nan Zhu's wife's waist and instead used his left hand to hold her hand. At the same time, he squeezed Chu Chu's small hand with his right hand.
"Let's go."
Chu Chu remained standing in the same spot.
He Yunxiao pulled his wife, Nanzhu, forward a small step, then pulled Chuchu tightly in his hand.
With a couple of forceful pulls, and by tickling her palm with his fingers, he finally managed to move Chu Chu. Reluctantly, He Yunxiao dragged her to the Marquis's residence.
...
The Wuqing Marquis's Residence, a small pavilion in the lake.
He Yunxiao dared not lead the two young ladies into the mansion through the main gate in a blatant manner; doing so would be utterly reckless. To maintain secrecy, he had no choice but to sneak to the wall and use his light-footed skills to leap over it, thus deceiving the mansion's guards.
Upon arriving at the small lake in the mansion, He Yunxiao instructed Ma De to quickly stop people outside before daring to sit in the pavilion with the two female protagonists.
Even when they were in a secluded place where they could have a heart-to-heart talk, neither of the two female protagonists showed any intention of giving way to the other.
Aside from the fact that she's still willing to let me hold her little hands, there's nothing else to be thankful for.
It was Chu Chu who spoke first.
"He Yunxiao, as long as you promise me that you will sever all ties with this woman from now on, I will forgive and forget what you did in the past."
He Yunxiao: "Chu..."
Meng Qingrou retorted without backing down, "Brother needs Rou'er's antidote. Rou'er and brother cannot be apart for even a day."
He Yunxiao: "Gentle..."
Chu Chu said, "He doesn't need your antidote."
Meng Qingrou said, "Although the poison of the Soul-Devouring Pill in my brother's body is weak, it can still endanger his life, so we must not be careless."
"I will help him resolve this."
"How can Chu Chu solve this?"
"I have found medicinal herbs to prolong life."
"A symptomatic treatment."
"I can use my internal energy to detoxify."
"Detoxification through internal energy cannot eradicate the problem."
"You don't need to worry about these things. I will take care of He Yunxiao's affairs."
Meng Qingrou astutely said, "Chuchu can't cure the poison of the Soul-Devouring Pill, can she?"
Provoked by her words, Chu Chu immediately said domineeringly, "So what if it is? He Yunxiao is my man. Even if he dies, I will not give him to you."
He Yunxiao naturally didn't want to die. Hearing Chu Chu say that, he tried to interject, "Chu Chu..."
Chu Chu immediately glared at him and said, "Shut up."
He Yunxiao was also angry after being scolded by Chu Chu, so he could only retaliate by squeezing Chu Chu's small hand in his palm harder.
This action, in turn, drew another warning look from Chu Chu.
Faced with Chu Chu's domineering attitude, Meng Qingrou did not back down in the slightest. She directly retorted, "What right does Chu Chu have to make decisions for my brother? My brother is the patient, and I am his doctor. Only a doctor can tell the patient what to do."
Seeing how assertive Nan Zhu's wife was, He Yunxiao could only rub her hand again to calm her down.
He Yunxiao understood that even though the location had changed to a pavilion, the argument would continue. Neither of the two women would back down, showing no sign of compromise.
If He Yunxiao were to choose for himself, he would definitely want them all.
Nan Zhu is the wife I'm going to marry, and Chu Chu's little hand is the one I'm going to hold and pass on my skills to.
But now, even if the female lead argues on her own, she won't solve the problem after arguing for a long time.
Chu Chu wanted Nan Zhu to leave, but Nan Zhu couldn't leave.
He Yunxiao could only come up with a compromise that would preserve the current situation while being acceptable to both sides.
Thinking about this, He Yunxiao once again deeply understood the truth of "becoming stronger".
The only way to make the female lead harmonious is to be strong enough.
