Xiao Yuan gave a cold smirk, unsurprised. Then another person walked in, and her heart skipped a beat as she stared at him in disbelief—Hang Yisu!
He promised that even if he didn't help the Pei family, he wouldn't be their enemy! He said it so solemnly, so firmly. So when he left, he never came back, and she assumed the Hang family was caught in a dilemma and simply stayed out of it.
Hang Yisu looked away, his face paling slightly as she stared at him.
Xiao Yuan glared at him. The man her senior sister truly loved had actually chosen to betray her! "Senior sister and Yuan Xun... what did you do to them?" She was pleased to find that although her voice was weak, it was very steady. She looked at Hang Yisu with disdain.
"They're alright." Hang Yisu frowned, gritting his teeth as if a hidden pain had been exposed.
"Aren't you worried about yourself?" Xiao Juyuan looked at her with great interest.
"Worried?" Xiao Yuan looked at her with the same disdain. Why did she have to make her hate her? She had already decided to forgive her and be tolerant of her. "What's the use of worrying?"
Xiao Juyuan smiled. "It's no use."
Looking at her smile, Xiao Yuan said, "I really want to know how you're going to end this?" Does she think that if she dies, she can cover up all the lies? Xiao Yuan glanced at Nangong Zhan, who also had a sinister smile on his face. Even when he smiled so evilly, he was still so elegant.
Xiao Juyuan must have promised to share the treasure with Nangong and Hang Yisu, which is why they served her.
Xiao Yuan sneered. How many more lies would Xiao Juyuan have to fabricate to complete that initial deception for the sake of one lie? How was she going to clean up all this? Her lies were getting bigger and bigger, harder and harder to cover up, and more and more people were being deceived.
But Xiao Juyuan didn't look worried at all; she was still smiling so beautifully and so lovely.
"Li Yuan'er, why do you always worry about other people's business? I'll make sure you see how I handle this!" She covered her mouth, laughing so hard she was shaking.
"Oh dear—" Xiao Juyuan sighed and shook her head. "Xiaoyuan, I've been waiting for this day for so long. Do you know what I want to do most?" She widened her eyes innocently, like a kind fairy.
Xiao Yuan couldn't help but tremble. She would rather see Xiao Juyuan's ferocious and ruthless expression than see her perfectly disguised innocent face! It was uglier and more terrifying!
"You're so beautiful." Xiao Juyuan walked over and lifted her chin in admiration. Xiao Yuan tried to shake her off in disgust, but Xiao Juyuan pinched her even harder, and she could almost hear the bones cracking. It hurt so much that Xiao Yuan frowned and tightly closed her lips, not letting a weak groan of pain escape her lips.
"Her eyes are so beautiful, so incredibly beautiful," Xiao Juyuan sighed in despair. "Such a beautiful woman has stolen every man's soul. If..." She pouted as if deep in thought, her expression gentle and adorable. "If your eyes were blinded, and your face were scarred, would Yi Chunjun and Brother Wu... still love you?"
Xiao Yuan felt a chill run through his body; his blood seemed to freeze!
To her horror, she saw Xiao Juyuan pull a gleaming dagger from his sleeve. The sharp point that sent chills down her spine rushed towards her, the biting wind from the blade already piercing her eyes.
She closed her eyes in vain, only to feel a burning sensation on her face... The feeling of blood splattering on her skin was terrifying!

The blood was still dripping, hot and thick, and it burned as it slid across my skin.
"What are you doing?!" Xiao Yuan heard Xiao Juyuan's sharp question.
There was blood, but her eyes… were still there! She opened her eyes in terror. Just an inch in front of them was a hand pierced by a dagger—Hang Yisu's hand. Blood dripped from the gruesome wound onto her face. She stared blankly as the blood continued to flow, unable to move.
"Enough." Hang Yisu withdrew his hand, deftly pulled out the dagger, and blood splattered on Xiao Juyuan. Both of them were expressionless, without even frowning.
Hang Yisu threw the bloodstained dagger aside and looked coldly at Xiao Juyuan, "I won't let you hurt her."
"What?" Xiao Juyuan's brows finally furrowed slightly, but she smiled. "Even you've fallen in love with her?"
Hang Yisu turned his face away from her and said in a deep voice, "No."
Xiao Juyuan curled her lips, savoring his pained expression, "Could it be... that you've really fallen in love with that idiot Yan Minyu?"
A cruel glint flashed in Hang Yisu's eyes, so fast that even Xiao Juyuan couldn't dodge it; he grabbed her by the neck. Nangong Zhan was startled, drawing his sword and pointing it at his throat, "Let her go!"
Hang Yisu gritted his teeth and slowly released his grip. Xiao Juyuan coughed violently. He looked at her with sharp, disdainful eyes. "You're not allowed to insult her! She may not be as smart as you, but she's much better than you! At least she won't harm me." He sneered coldly.
These words clearly stung Xiao Juyuan's heart. She glared at him fiercely, "Hang Yisu, don't provoke me."
Hang Yisu narrowed his eyes in annoyance and said nothing more. Because he clenched his fist so tightly, blood dripped onto the ground even faster.
Xiao Juyuan looked at him, then at Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Yuan trembled under her icy gaze. What was she going to do now?
Xiao Juyuan suddenly laughed, "Li Yuan'er, the tough-hearted but tender-hearted Young Master Hang saved you, you should thank him too."
Everyone's expression turned serious.
Xiao Juyuan took out a small bottle of medicine and roughly poured it down Xiao Yuan's throat. She then looked at Hang Yisu with a charming smile, "Young Master Hang, you are the first to deflower such a stunning beauty. You are truly blessed."
“Juyuan…” Nangong Zhan looked disappointed. “Didn’t we agree that I would do it…” He was startled by Xiao Juyuan’s gaze and involuntarily shut his mouth.
Xiao Juyuan looked at Xiao Yuan, who was glaring at her coldly, and smiled regretfully.
"Poor little Yuan. The one who took your innocence was none other than Young Master Hang. Who will you seek revenge for you? Yi Chunjun or Pei Junwu? They killed him, how heartbroken will your Senior Sister Yan be? How painful will it be for her if she knew that you and the Young Master Hang she loved had such a scandalous past?" She shook her head and clicked her tongue, "Interesting, very interesting."
Xiao Yuan felt her heart racing and her body getting hotter and hotter. She gritted her teeth, her whole body radiating hatred. This woman was too vicious, too vicious!
"You'd better kill me," she was already panting. "Otherwise, I'll make sure you lose everything."
Xiao Juyuan laughed loudly, "Li Yuan'er, you're not stupid, but you'll never amount to anything because you're not ruthless enough. I won't kill you, I'll make you suffer for the rest of your life!" She looked at her, her eyes gleaming with excitement, appearing somewhat crazed. "Li Yuan'er, you've been defiled by Hang Yisu. From now on, whenever you sleep with another man, you'll remember this first man you can't talk about! Of course, you two can talk about it too, and then Yan Minyu will hate and suffer for the rest of her life."
Hang Yisu gritted his teeth and snorted, "I won't let you succeed."
“Young Master Hang, the Casanova,” Xiao Juyuan looked at him with a mocking smile, “of course you can refuse. In this remote place, there are only two men, you and Nangong. If you can’t find a man to have sex with within half an hour, this medicine will cause your heart to race and you will die. Are you planning to let Li Yuan’er die a virtuous death? That’s not bad either.”
Xiao Yuan pressed herself tightly against the stone wall. She was right; her heart was beating faster and faster, and a feeling of restlessness spread from her heart to her whole body.
Xiao Juyuan leaned down and looked at her, who was becoming increasingly breathless. "Seeing her so aroused makes my heart itch. Young Master Hang, enjoy it. For your safety, I'll do you one more good deed." Her hand gently caressed her heart.
"What are you doing?!" Xiao Yuan couldn't help but scream.
