Shen Zhili was puzzled: "What about him? Who?"

After thinking for a moment, Kabuki said, "His Chinese name is Hana Kuya, but I prefer to call him Night Snake."

...So they really came for Hana Kuya!

Knowing his intentions was good, Shen Zhili breathed a sigh of relief and said, "He's fine. However, if you came to capture me because of Hua Jiuye, you'll probably be disappointed. We parted ways years ago. He hates me too much to save me..."

Gechui said, "The charm Gu I cultivated is on your body." He paused, then added, "It's very domineering. Once it's planted, ordinary Gu can hardly possess you anymore, which is why the puppet Gu I planted on you just now fell off so quickly... It cares about you a lot."

Shen Zhili: "...What kind of logic is this? Putting someone in a spell means you care!"

The singer said, "Gu is very precious. If you don't care, just kill it directly."

Shen Zhili frowned: "Then give it to Hua Jiuye..."

Ge Chui readily admitted: "I've done it many times, at least a dozen times."

Shen Zhili retorted, "More than ten times... just how much do you care about him?!"

Kabuki: "I care about him a lot."

Despite his calm, cold, and emotionless tone, Shen Zhili couldn't help but have impure thoughts...

Shen Zhili trembled: "How much do I care... You wouldn't have fallen for Hua Jiuye, would you...?"

No matter how handsome the man in front of you is, he's still a man!

And Hana Kuya is a man too!!!

Gechui asked with slight confusion, "What does 'take a fancy to' mean?"

Shen Zhili explained in a trembling voice: "It means you are very interested in someone, really want to get him, and really want to do some [beep...] [beep...] [beep...] things with him."

Songchui was still a little confused: "Does that [beep...] [beep...] [beep...] count?"

Shen Zhili trembled even more violently, nodded, and took two steps back.

You poor senior, being targeted by such a pervert...

I feel so sorry for you...

Ge Chui looked at Shen Zhili with disdain: "Then I probably didn't fancy you, because I don't want to do anything to you."

Shen Zhili: "...Thank you so much, I am truly grateful."

******************************************************************************

Not long ago.

On the main street of the city.

A woman dressed in a light blue floor-length gauze dress sneered, "Hmph, it's all your fault for dragging me down!"

The man in the blue robe said with a bitter face, "Can you stop complaining about me? You've been complaining the whole way. If we don't find our master soon, we'll definitely be killed by that pervert from the Dark Division when we get back."

Mentioning the Dark Division, even the usually arrogant woman couldn't help but shudder. She punched the man in the blue robe and said fiercely, "It's all your fault! If you hadn't insisted on coming to Huichun Valley for medical treatment, how could our master have encountered the invasion of the Demonic Sect? How could he have disappeared with that weak Valley Master... And it's all your fault! You insisted on laying low for a while, saying our master wouldn't stay near Huichun Valley. But what happened? Your subordinates found our master, and then your bunch of idiots let them go! Ah, Qingxing, you idiot, idiot, idiot!"

Clearly, these two unlucky souls were none other than Zhai Feng, the head of the Rain Hall of the Twelve Nights Flower Hall, and Qing Xing, whom Su Chenche had dumped from the very beginning...

Qingxing clutched her back, which had been hit hard, and cried out, "I'm an idiot, an idiot, okay? Stop hitting me..."

Zhai Feng slumped down beside a wonton stall: "I don't care, I can't walk anymore! It's been three damn days already, and who knows where that damn master has run off to have some fun. Before, we could rely on Ye Qianqian to cause trouble and find people, but now we're completely helpless. Waaah, the higher-ups have given us an ultimatum. This time, as long as we leave the master alive, we can take him back however we want. If we can't, we'll be the ones left with only a breath left..."

Helpless, Qingxing pulled Zhai Feng up: "If you want to rest, you should find an inn first."

Zhai Feng suddenly tugged at Qingxing's collar: "Qingxing, Qingxing, look, doesn't that figure look just like our lord?!"

Qingxing looked closely and exclaimed, "...It's not just similar, it is! Let's chase after it!"

Chapter 32

Although Shen Zhili had never been to Southern Xinjiang, she knew it was definitely not close.

She had absolutely no intention of going to the Southern Frontier with Ge Chui. Using the medicinal powder and silver needles she carried, Shen Zhili managed to sneak out once, but was quickly caught and brought back by Ge Chui...

The singer said, "You have been infected with my curse; I can find you anywhere."

...Okay, she never managed to escape successfully even once!

The next morning, two old women dressed in coarse cloth arrived. As soon as they saw her, they expertly stripped Shen Zhili naked and threw her into the bathtub. Then they grabbed Shen Zhili's arms and started rinsing her up and down, while talking nonsense to her.

Pressing Shen Zhili down and vigorously rubbing her back, Mama A said, "Miss, although that young master doesn't look too well, he's generous, handsome, and speaks gently... You should just go for it, why resist! Oh, miss, your skin is so nice."

After undressing Shen Zhili and ruffling her long black hair, Mother B said, "That's right, that's right, girl. I've seen plenty like you. Whether you submit or not, you end up losing your reputation. What young master would want you then? Let me tell you, the most important thing for a woman to do when she gets married is to marry someone who loves her. While you're young, capture his heart first, and have a son or daughter. That's the real deal. Then you'll enjoy endless wealth and honor..."

Shen Zhili struggled in the water, poking her head out and saying, "I don't want to..."

Mother A: "No, what do you mean no? Girl, why can't you listen to reason?"

The weak resistance was quickly suppressed. Like brushing oil on fried fish, after brushing the other side, they started brushing the other side. Mother A pinched the key part of her chest: "It's a bit small, but it feels pretty good... Let's see how it is down there..."

Shen Zhili froze abruptly, only one thought in her mind: Let me die, let me die, let me die...

The matter is over.

Shen Zhili, dressed in a newly changed thin gauze dress, sat on the bed with her knees drawn up to her chest, utterly despondent.

Her medicine powder and silver needles were confiscated, and all sharp objects in the room were taken away, not even a hairpin was left for her. That wasn't the worst part. But for a doctor with severe mysophobia, having her entire body touched by two strange women whose hands were of questionable cleanliness was a shock...

It's truly a story that can't be told in a few words...

We sat from dawn till dusk, and from dusk till dawn.

Someone brought over food, and Shen Zhili slowly moved over and opened the lunchbox. It contained a plate of plain porridge and side dishes. Even after eating it all, she was only half full, and there wasn't even a trace of oil in it.

Shen Zhili felt even more hopeless.

As evening fell, the door was opened, and the two mothers bowed respectfully as they welcomed the children inside.

Shen Zhili was still sitting on the bed with her knees drawn up to her chest. It was almost summer, and the thin gauze on her body was blown away by the wind, revealing her fair skin. She was incredibly alluring and charming.

Before she could hide, Shen Zhili sneezed in a daze, her gaze meeting the person who had just arrived.

If Su Chenche had entered at that moment, then what would have been a loyal dog rubbing against someone while also getting a nosebleed would have happened.

If it were Hana Kuya who entered at this moment, then the next step would be to pounce directly on the main event.

...Unfortunately, it was Kabuki who came in. (Why this regretful tone? →_→)

Ge Chui walked straight up to Shen Zhili without looking to either side. The invisible pressure made Shen Zhili tug at her clothes a couple of times and take a step back, but she didn't realize that the gauze dress was too short. With her movement, her entire fair and tender calf was exposed... Shen Zhili's face could not be described as stunning, but thanks to years of medicinal diets, her figure was actually quite good. She had a slender waist, long legs, perfect proportions, and fair skin. Such actions were simply tempting people to do something!

Under Shen Zhili's tense and defensive gaze, Gechui finally stopped.

Mother A rubbed her hands together: "Is the young master satisfied?"

Mother B grinned, "We'll make sure she's thoroughly cleaned inside and out, not even a needle will be left! We talked to the girl for quite a while."

Utafuku: "..." What are they saying?

Mother A, pulling Mother B along, revealed a knowing smile: "Oh, hehehe, then we won't disturb you, young master and young lady any longer. We'll be going now..." After saying that, the two of them wiggled their hips and walked towards the door.

Just as they were about to leave, Mama B rushed over again, shoved a small white jade bottle into Gechui's hand, and said with a suggestive smile, "Young master, this girl is a virgin, so she's bound to be a bit awkward. Apply this stuff, and I guarantee she'll be perfect for tonight... oh hehehe, you know what I mean."

Gechui held the bottle, his face blank and unfathomable: "..." What do I know?

Before he could even examine it, Shen Zhili snatched it away, opened the small bottle, sniffed it, and then exclaimed in anguish, "What a piece of junk..."

Ge Chui frowned and reached out to snatch it.

Shen Zhili hurriedly hid behind her back.

Although Kafuu doesn't seem like a lecherous person, ... under these circumstances, this kind of thing absolutely cannot fall into Kafuu's hands!

Ge Chui's brows furrowed even deeper.

He doesn't like it when people take things from him; he really dislikes it.

Shen Zhili was positioned further back, while Ge Chui had longer arms. After several rounds of scrambling, they were evenly matched, and both of them were exhausted from the struggle.

However, Shen Zhili also discovered something... Gechui didn't know martial arts, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, in that split second, Gechui suddenly pushed Shen Zhili with his hand, and Shen Zhili fell down unexpectedly. The small bottle in his hand, which was not closed tightly, fell over, and Gechui pressed it with his index finger, causing the medicine to flow into Shen Zhili's mouth as she screamed.

Shen Zhili was startled and suddenly stood up. Ge Chui slapped her with his hand, and she fell down again, swallowing the medicine in one gulp.

Shen Zhili: "..."

While Shen Zhili was distracted, Gechui quickly snatched the bottle, put it away, and went back to look at Shen Zhili.

A gentle breeze swept through the room, and a few rays of moonlight streamed over the classic scene of the man on top and the woman on the bottom, leaving an eerie silence.

Shen Zhili thought: Am I living just to prove how tragic a person can be?!

It's an aphrodisiac! Even the worst quality is still an aphrodisiac! The worse the quality, the stronger the effect!

With her hair disheveled, Shen Zhili sank into the soft bedding. She looked up with difficulty at the handsome man before her, clinging to the last glimmer of hope: "Lord Kabuki, you like men, don't you?"

Gechui paused for a moment, then said in a cool voice, "I don't like men."

Shen Zhili: "..."

So what exactly happened between you and Hana Kuya?

Another deathly silence descended.

The singer was the first to speak.

Riding on Shen Zhili's back, he looked down at her and said, "We're leaving tomorrow morning. I need a token from you."

Shen Zhili: "A token?"

She quickly realized that it was probably meant to threaten Hua Jiuye, and then firmly shook her head, saying, "No!"

Song: "Then I'll just cut off one of your hands."

Shen Zhili quickly replied, "Yes!"

Song and music: "Give it to me."

His hands were on either side of Shen Zhili, his eyes devoid of any lewdness, as deep and lifeless as ever. Only the strands of his hair, hanging down, unconsciously brushed against Shen Zhili's face as they swayed. The soft and delicate long hair carried a cool sandalwood scent that wafted towards her, the scent of a strange man.

Shen Zhili unconsciously opened and closed her mouth, feeling inexplicably thirsty, and involuntarily licked her lips.

Oh no, I'm getting a fever!

The heat began to rise on Shen Zhili's face. She bit her lip and murmured, "Could you go downstairs before we talk?"

Gechui let out an "Oh" and was about to climb down when suddenly there was a loud crash at the window, and the entire wooden frame of the window snapped.
