But Ji Wushang felt something different. Well, he hadn't expected to run into him! He hadn't even planned to look for him, and here he was, coming after him?
"Shall we go for a walk over there?" Nan Xuzong suggested.
He held a gold thread in his hand, his eyes fixed on Ji Wushang, a smile playing on his lips, his eyes crinkling as he looked at Ji Wushang. At this moment, he was dressed in a gentle and refined manner, like a scholar sitting in a wheelchair, but the wheelchair could not conceal his natural elegance; on the contrary, it added to his unique and otherworldly aura.
Ji Wushang looked at him, and suddenly smiled. "Okay."
I'm about to marry this man. Thinking about it, there's only about a month left! I'm about to marry him and become his wife.
Ji Wushang felt a little uneasy. Should he kill him with a single blow when no one was paying attention and throw him somewhere else so that people would think he died from an accidental hunting wound, or should he use some kind of poison to let him die slowly?
No, even if I die slowly, I will still marry him.
Yiyun Shangcheng was in the underground palace. He was sitting on the stone bed, holding the crystal ball in his hand. Everything seemed to be under his control, even Ji Wushang's thoughts seemed to be under his control.
"Find a secluded place, and when no one is paying attention, send him to hell."
Yiyun Shangcheng smiled. This was exactly how he should command this clever woman; she would never let him down! His eyes turned red, and beside him was the box, which still contained those seven or eight small black worms.
He put the crystal ball aside and then lowered his right arm. Instantly, the seven or eight worms rushed up and began to suckle at him.
"Ah!" he roared, the veins on his forehead and arms bulging out. He immediately pressed several major acupoints on his body with his left hand, and then pressed acupoints on his right arm.
Ji Wushang felt as if he heard someone say in his ear that he should lure Nan Xuzong to a deserted place and kill him.
She immediately went up to him and stood behind him, saying, "Let's go for a walk over there."
Nan Xuzong was immediately filled with joy. There were a few young masters and ladies passing by, and quite a few guards, but he didn't expect Ji Wushang to choose to ignore them.
good.
Nan Xuzong felt a little excited.
Yes, I'm going to marry her in a month, just one month.
I'm so impatient, I want her to be my wife right now!
Ji Wushang smiled and pushed Nan Xuzong's wheelchair in another direction. Nan Xuzong looked at the increasingly remote road ahead, but instead of uttering a word of objection, the smile in his eyes deepened.
Has this moment finally arrived?
She wanted her own life, her own life! Hah! Nan Xuzong smiled bitterly to himself, while Ji Wushang behind him naturally had no idea what he was thinking.
“Wu Shang, I want to tell you a story,” Nan Xu Cong suddenly said.
Seeing that no one was around, Ji Wushang said, "Go ahead."
“A long, long time ago, a young master and a young lady were about to get married, but because of certain things, the two of them…” Nan Xuzong did not want to say the words “turn against each other”, at least not to himself. He had never hated her; he only loved her.
"As a result, this young lady forgot about this young master, and what was originally full of love turned into hatred. She mistook this man for her enemy, and she wanted to kill him. Wu Shang, do you know what that young master did?"
"This..." Ji Wushang hesitated. Was he talking about his story with him? He used to love him very much? But why did he only feel hatred for him? Yes, he had been using him all along, wanting to get everything he wanted, so he resorted to any means necessary!
"I don't know, and I don't want to know!" Ji Wushang replied coldly.
Nan Xuzong was taken aback. "He knew that the woman he loved wanted to kill him. He knew it perfectly well, but he didn't stop her. He smiled as he watched the woman he loved plunge the dagger into his heart."
Ji Wushang trembled and abruptly retreated, "You, what story are you telling me!"
“It’s a beautiful story, but I don’t understand why she became like this. This state of hers has always broken my heart, and I’ve always wanted to find out the truth, but my abilities are limited.” Nan Xuzong sighed, turned his wheelchair, and looked at Ji Wushang face to face. “Isn’t it a beautiful thing to die at the hands of the woman you love? Many people want his life, but he won’t give it to them. However, when his woman wants his life, he won’t even flinch. If a woman feels that the dagger hasn’t gone deep enough, he can help her.”
"I don't know what you're talking about." Ji Wushang's mind began to race. "And you shouldn't say anything more!"
"Wu Shang, come here," he called softly.
“However,” she said, taking an involuntary step back as she saw his refusal.
"Come here, sweetie." Nan Xuzong looked at her. "You are my wife, come here."
"No, however!"
"You're really naughty." He sighed, and the golden thread in his hand had already been rolled out. In an instant, he pulled her into his arms. His large hands quickly positioned her, and in no time, she was nestled in his embrace!
"What are you doing!" Ji Wushang exclaimed in shock, realizing he had been too careless!
"I want you to remember what happened between us." Nan Xuzong smiled gently, then struck the wheelchair with the force of his palm, immediately sending it slid away!
"Ah!" Ji Wushang was startled, but why did this feeling feel so familiar?
Before they could react, they had already reached a hidden door and slid directly into a secret room!
Ji Wushang exclaimed in surprise, "I never imagined that your secret passages could be found all over Pengfei Training Ground!"
"Invincible, there's nothing I can't do if I want to." He was full of confidence, not forgetting the soft fragrance still in his arms.
"Wu Shang, have you forgotten that you were poisoned by your fourth sister?" he suddenly said. By the time Ji Wu Shang was about to answer, they had already arrived at a secret room in the underground!
The furnishings in this room are exactly the same as those in the side room of the September Pavilion!
Ji Wushang exclaimed in surprise, "This sounds so familiar."
Nan Xuzong knew she was marveling at the familiarity of the place, which meant she could still remember him and everything about them!
"But why did you bring me here?" Ji Wushang asked doubtfully, then, seeing that he was in his arms, he struggled to break free. "Let me go, I want to go back!" He didn't want to kill him anymore. He felt that if he got close to him, not only would he not want to kill him, but his mind would also be filled with unfamiliar images that would interfere with his thinking. How could he do anything like that?
"Why are you asking me this? Don't you know this question is a bit strange?" A mysterious smile appeared on his lips.
Ji Wushang didn't understand. "What do you mean? Put me down first."
“You are my wife,” he suddenly said.
"This...not necessarily." The time hasn't come yet! Ji Wushang didn't dare to look at him and immediately looked away.
"What do you mean by 'not necessarily'?" Nan Xuzong was slightly angry, but he held back, thinking that she must have been poisoned or made to hate and forget him by some other method. "The imperial decree has already been issued and the date has been set. Is there any possibility that things will change?"
Yi Yun Shangcheng finally pulled his right arm out, shivering all over, clenching his teeth in pain. When he looked up and saw Ji Wushang nestled in Nan Xuzong's arms in the crystal ball, Yi Yun Shangcheng's thick eyebrows furrowed, hatred welled up in his heart, and his eyes turned even more bloodthirsty. He suddenly gathered a surge of power in his hand and slammed it into the crystal ball! "This is the best opportunity. Kill him! Take out your dagger and kill him!"
"Yes!" Ji Wushang suddenly opened his cold, bright eyes, looked at the gentle man in front of him, but a cold smile appeared on his lips, and the hilt of the dagger in his sleeve had already slid into his hand.
Nan Xuzong frowned, but when he looked into her eyes, he already knew what was going on. Without saying a word, he lifted her head with his large hand, covered her with his thin lips, and began his kiss.
"Waaah!" Ji Wushang never expected that he would violate her like this!
He kissed her soft, fragrant lips passionately, his tongue swirling inside her mouth, drawing out her nectar. A series of images flashed through her mind—it was him, he was the one kissing her…
Good heavens, I was actually kissing the person I hate?
He was a little impatient. He seemed to know that she was still conscious, so he deepened the kiss. His large hands groped her clothes, gently caressing her through the fabric. The warmth of his palms slowly seeped into her body.
She was trembling all over, and the hand holding the dagger was shaking.
Nan Xuzong opened his eyes and looked at her. Unexpectedly, she also opened her bright, clear eyes. He released her lips, but the next second, he kissed her eyes, forcing her to close them again.
Those eyes were so pure and innocent that Nan Xuzong couldn't help but be captivated. He followed her gaze down her face, to her sensitive earlobe, and her alluring lips.
"Hmm." She let out a soft sigh, seemingly marveling at his gentle yet forceful advances, which made Ji Wushang slowly stretch out his body.
He kissed her neck, the warmth traveling down to her collarbone, where he gently nibbled, as if with boundless tenderness.
"Cong." She couldn't help but call out, and shifted her body restlessly.
Nan Xuzong was suddenly stunned. She actually called him "Cong". She still had feelings for him!
As she twisted, she inadvertently ignited his desire. The sensation spread from below, and countless cells in his bones cried out, screaming for the most primal stirrings in his heart.
"Wu Shang, I want you." He murmured, his eyes burning with desire, and his large hand gently pulled open her belt.
I'll take her today, so she'll always remember who she is. If she kills me later, I won't have any regrets.
"Mmm..." she said emotionally.

When Beigong Jueshi returned, he saw that Yiyun Muchen was already asleep. Beigong Jueshi sighed and shook his head, knowing he could only wait for him to wake up.
Night finally fell. Yi Yun Muchen woke up hungry. Looking at the man sitting to the side, engrossed in reading, Yi Yun Muchen thought for a moment and then got out of bed.
Bei Gong Jue Shi put down his book. "The food has been set out outside. We'll eat after you've bathed and changed."
"Um, could we eat something first before taking a bath and changing clothes?" Yi Yun Muchen's eyes lit up at the mention of food. Everyone in the Western Regions Palace knew that Princess Muchen had no particular hobbies, except for eating. She loved to eat and nothing else, but she just couldn't seem to grow any taller.
Bei Gong Jue Shi narrowed his eyes. It seemed that this person really didn't care about anything except eating. Oh, right, except for finding his brother. But the way he looked and smelled was really disgusting and made him unable to eat.
"No, you have to get ready first before you eat." Bei Gong Jue Shi wouldn't allow him to refuse. "If you don't want to, I can have someone come and serve you. I'll make sure you wash up faster."
Yi Yunmu Chen's face flushed slightly. Serve? Of course not. "Um, no need. I'll go myself." She knew he was using this to threaten her! Humph!
Yi Yun Muchen stepped forward and said in a very displeased tone, "Um, where is the bathing area? Also, you should have bought me some clothes, right? Oh, if you didn't, then I don't need to shower, hehe." Yi Yun Muchen chuckled as she finished speaking.
“Yes.” Bei Gong Jue Shi took out a set of clothes from the side and threw them to him. “Take this yourself. The bathing area is next door.” As he spoke, he pointed to the small space next to him, where, upon closer inspection, one could see what appeared to be rising water vapor.
Yi Yunmu Chen exclaimed in surprise, "No way? There, there?" Ugh, this is like taking a bath right in front of him! Look, over there, a screen has been used to create a proper wall, but, good heavens, if he suddenly walks in, won't he discover me? If he thinks I've been lying to him, and he gets angry and beats me up, I might as well go see the King of Hell!
"Um, could we have another room?" Yi Yunmu Chen asked, looking troubled and her face was grim.
"Why are you making so many moves, you little brat? Picking and choosing. I think that place is fine, enough for you." Bei Gong Jue Shi frowned, but when she saw his displeased expression, she thought to herself, maybe he has some kind of fetish. Oh well, she wouldn't argue with him. "Okay, if you don't like it, I'll wait outside. Hurry up and finish washing, is that alright? If you need anything, you can shout loudly and call me in."
That's really troublesome.
Although Yi Yunmu Chen didn't want to think about it this way, he still felt that he could barely accept his suggestion.
"Can you guarantee you won't come in?" Yi Yun Muchen looked at him with a questioning gaze.
Bei Gong Jue Shi scanned him from head to toe with a scrutinizing gaze, a hint of disdain in her eyes. "I have no homosexual tendencies, don't worry!" Her tone was slightly cold.
Yi Yunmu nodded. Yes, she was dressed as a boy, so to him she should be considered a boy. Okay, that would be best!
"You'd better not try anything funny, or else, hmph." With that, Bei Gong Jue Shi walked out, looking truly tall and imposing.
Yi Yun Muchen curled his lip; this was the kind of threat he always used!
“If you leave, I will never tell you about your brother. I’ve already found out about him.” Bei Gong Jue Shi said, opening the door with his back to Yi Yun Muchen.
"Really?" Yi Yun Muchen was about to step forward to ask, but Bei Gong Jue Shi had already slipped out and closed the door.
Seeing this, Yi Yunmu Chen had no choice but to turn around and leave, but then, realizing something was wrong, he immediately went forward and locked the door.
After closing the window, she went behind the screen, where a large wooden tub had been placed, filled with water and sprinkled with flower petals. She tested the water; it was warm. Yi Yunmu Chen looked on with satisfaction. She hadn't expected to have such a good treatment, having him guard her outside like a doorkeeper. It was quite nice.
Seeing that no one was around, and then looking towards the door, and seeing that there was no movement at all, Yi Yun Muchen loosened his belt, took off his outer clothes, then his pants, and then stepped into the wooden tub. Instantly, Yi Yun Muchen felt a wave of comfort and his whole body relaxed.
In the water, Yi Yun Muchen let her hair down, allowing it to drape over her body. Then, she began to untie the cloth wrapped around her chest. Disguising herself as a boy was exhausting, but she had no choice. Too many people had tried to assassinate her along the way, and many more wanted to capture her. What other options did she have?
As for the man outside the door, he had kept it a secret from the beginning. If he hadn't, something would have definitely happened. So he had no choice but to keep him in the dark.
Not daring to linger too long, after all, this was not the time for her to enjoy herself. After playing with the water for a while, Yi Yun Muchen started to walk out of the tub. However, unexpectedly, she must have stepped on the strip of cloth binding her chest, and she immediately fell forward!
