Chapitre 49

"...I'm not angry." She lifted her pale face, her eyes gradually reddening. "I'm not angry with you..."

Gu Xiju was overjoyed and turned her chin to kiss her deeply again, but a red light flashed in the air and his movements suddenly froze in mid-air, and he slowly slid down the wall.

He fainted.

Pang Wan sighed and withdrew the Flaming Needle from his hand.

—Gu Xiju is a peerless martial artist, and it would be impossible for him to be ambushed under normal circumstances. Just now, he finally lost control of his emotions, which gave her the opportunity to take advantage of him. Otherwise, she wouldn't dare to insert needles into the Alliance Leader's acupoints even if she had a thousand lives.

She got out of bed, settled Gu Xiju in, and then covered him with a thick quilt.

Everything that happened tonight was so unexpected that she almost forgot her original intention in arranging this scene.

Or rather, even if they remembered, they had no desire to continue.

Calm down, calm down, you must calm down—she kept telling herself as she touched her burning hot cheeks.

Looking at the empty room with its flickering candlelight, she turned her gaze to the desk piled high with books.

The desk was piled high with books and letters that Gu Xiju usually used, and perhaps some clues about the Jade Dragon Token could be found there.

She went to the desk and carefully began to examine the various papers in order.

Then she saw several carefully preserved scrolls under the paperweight.

As if possessed, she pulled out the scroll and unfolded it to take a look.

My breath stopped for a moment.

The night was clear and the stars were few, and the moon was exceptionally bright and full.

He took out a Jade Dew Heart-Clearing Pill and fed it to the person on the bed, then tiptoed out of the room.

When I asked Tang Feifeng for "Nanke," the sect leader said that although Nanke was a colorless and odorless aphrodisiac that could make the poisoned person mistake their beloved, it was still an aphrodisiac and not difficult to cure. This Jade Dew Heart-Clearing Pill, which can alleviate all poisons, is more than enough to cure Nanke. It's really using a sledgehammer to crack a nut—Alliance Leader, I haven't wronged you.

Thinking of the hidden courtesan, Pang Wan strode into the courtyard; there was still a problem to deal with!

He had only taken two steps when he suddenly stopped.

Under the bright white moon, there was a figure she never dreamed she would see.

The tall, handsome man standing under the tree, with eyes like cold stars, was none other than the young master, Nan Yi.

Pang Wan blinked, instinctively turning to run back, but how could she be a match for the Southern Barbarians? A gust of wind swept by, and she was obediently dragged to the Southern Barbarians' feet.

"You've really made something of yourself, haven't you? You know how to use your femininity now?"

With a cold laugh, Nan Yi twisted her arm behind her back with one hand and tied it up, while with the other hand he pinched her chin and lifted and pulled it upwards.

Pang Wan immediately wailed in pain, his internal organs clenching in agony.

"I...no...I..." She was so shocked and flustered that she became incoherent.

The barbarian's icy gaze swept coldly over her loose hair and disheveled clothes, and when he saw the faint red tooth mark on her delicate white neck, his eyes darkened instantly.

"You bitch!" He raised his hand and slapped Pang Wan across the face with a crisp, clear sound.

Pang Wan was stunned by the slap that landed squarely on her face. She stared at him with wide eyes, her almond-shaped eyes gradually filling with tears.

"Still have the nerve to cry? What are you crying for? You look awful!" Seeing her wronged expression, Nan Yi became even more furious and slapped her again. *Smack!*

The genuine force caused a trickle of blood to seep from the corner of Pang Wan's mouth.

"Who gave you permission to seduce someone? What did you two do tonight? Tell me!"

Nan Yi gripped her chin tightly, his face twisted and ferocious, his eyes gleaming with a wolf-like light, so red they seemed about to bleed.

Pang Wan fell silent at that moment.

She thought to herself, "This Nan Yi will always hate me and look down on me. His gentleness is only for Mei Wu, and his care is only for Mei Wu. To him, I'm nothing more than a toy to amuse himself, a dispensable junior sister. What does it matter if we're childhood sweethearts, how innocent we were? He won't like me, he'll never be good to me, never."

Her heart became colder and more transparent than moonlight.

"Nothing was done."

Pang Wan gathered his thoughts and looked up, trying to meet the gaze of the Southern Barbarians.

The mist in her almond-shaped eyes vanished in an instant, returning to a clear state.

"You're lying!" Nan Yi glared down at her, but unconsciously loosened his grip, allowing Pang Wan to break free of her restraints.

“I gave him an aphrodisiac, but I only had time to take a look at his upper body before I ran away in fright.”

She answered while rubbing her wrist, half-truths and half-lies.

Upon hearing the words "aphrodisiac," the Southern Barbarian's brow furrowed, and his large hand swiftly locked onto Pang Wan's throat.

"You shameless bastard!" he gritted his teeth and angrily berated her, "Who gave you the audacity to do this? How dare you? How dare you?!" The last sentence was a hysterical outburst, as if he wanted to tear her apart and devour her whole.

Pang Wan was almost suffocating from being choked by him. He secretly took out three Flame God Needles from his sleeve, but Nan Yi was faster. With a flick of his sleeve, he put all three needles into his palm.

"...Father gave this to you?" He looked at the red needle in his hand, loosened his grip, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. "You've always carried it with you? Never taken it out of your sight?"

Pang Wan was taken aback by his sudden change of expression and glared at him irritably: "If it weren't for this backer, do you think I would dare to use my beauty to seduce you?"

Nan Yi thought for a moment, then finally released his grip on her neck, though his brows remained deeply furrowed: "You were too careless! How could you possibly ambush Gu Xiju? What if the drug takes effect...?"

"That's why I prepared a courtesan for him!" Pang Bian sniffed and jumped down to the foot of the artificial hill, angrily dragging a sleeping beauty out of the stone cave.
