"However."
"The other water should be normal, right?"
As Gu Yue spoke, a cup of tea materialized in her hand through Spatial Power, which she drank in one gulp.
Having gone so long without drinking water, this other water could at least help moisten her throat.
"Hmm..."
"This."
Watching this scene, Tang Luochuan wore a thoughtful expression. Yun'er wouldn't just prepare one cup, would she?
"Luo Chuan..."
"I'm starting to feel..."
Sure enough, in the next moment, Gu Yue—instantly feverish and breathless—once again had reddened eyes as she desperately threw herself at him, who wore not a single thread of clothing.
"..."
"Be good."
"Kiss me."
Tang Luochuan, already spirited, held her in his arms and responded with a meaningful smile. It seemed...
The battle was about to begin again.
"..."
Another day later.
"Luo Chuan, you..."
Gu Yue took a deep breath, a trace of exhaustion flashing in her eyes. After regaining clarity, she looked at the youth before her, brimming with vigor, unable to hide the reproach in her gaze.
Was this...
What he meant by testing if it was effective?
She had just randomly picked another cup back then, and yet she fell for the trick so easily. Not to mention...
Just how much did Luo Chuan put in, anyway!
"Ahem..."
"It's just that one portion wasn't enough for me to drink."
Tang Luochuan offered a rough excuse, speaking earnestly.
But then again,
"The others..."
"Definitely aren't laced."
In the next moment, he smiled and gently pulled the person before him into his embrace, a mischievous curve lifting the corner of his mouth.
"I..."
"I'm going back."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yue instinctively swallowed, blushed, and rolled her eyes at him before pulling away from his embrace.
"If I drink another one."
"Wouldn't that just let you have your way again, you rascal..."
She couldn't help muttering under her breath.
If the others were laced too, wouldn't she be walking right into the lion's den again? Honestly...
Although...
She didn't exactly dislike it either.
"Then..."
"Don't you like it?"
Seeing her adorable reaction, Tang Luochuan couldn't help but laugh heartily, his gaze fixed intently on her as he asked softly.
"I..."
"I'm going to find Na'er first. I haven't told her where we've been these past two days—she must be worried..."
Gu Yue, upon hearing this, was too embarrassed to answer.
Using it as an excuse, she quickly tidied her clothes, dressed neatly, and made as if to slip away.
"Let's go."
"I'll go with you to find Na'er."
Tang Luochuan smiled at her, immediately standing up and retrieving a fresh set of clothes from his Soul Guidance Device.
"First..."
"Put on your clothes."
Gu Yue shot him a glance, then quickly pretended to ponder as she looked elsewhere, avoiding direct eye contact with the source of his mischief.
"It's not like I haven't seen it before."
"Hey, hey, hey! I'm ignoring you now!"
Gu Yue, hearing this, couldn't hold back her embarrassment. How could Luo Chuan be so wicked!
"Phew..."
"I almost got seduced by Luo Chuan again!"
Then, blushing, Gu Yue couldn't help but think to herself.
As the Silver Dragon King, truly...
As for Luo Chuan, she had always harbored a longing for him in her heart, though of course she would never say it in her lifetime.
Now it wasn't that she didn't want to anymore, but given her current combat ability, she was clearly at a disadvantage against Luo Chuan...
And this was precisely a situation she absolutely could not accept. She refused to be constantly suppressed by Luo Chuan.
"Next time..."
"I'll definitely make you pay!"
Gu Yue thought to herself with determination.
"Na'er earlier..."
"Did she contact you?"
In just a few moments, Tang Luochuan had straightened his clothes and stepped forward to wrap an arm around Gu Yue, asking softly.
"Of course, she asked where I was..."
Gu Yue responded gently. After all, that was her younger sister—how many days had it been since she'd last been seen outside?
When Na'er had previously sent her a message asking where she was, Gu Yue had replied that she would return soon...
Moreover, she had told Na'er she would be back shortly. If she didn't show up soon, that silly girl would probably start worrying about both of them!
"It's a good thing Na'er hasn't mastered any Spatial Power yet..."
At that moment, Gu Yue couldn't help but think that if Na'er had disappeared like she had today, she would definitely use Spatial Power to teleport over.
If Na'er had come earlier and seen that scene, no matter how you looked at it, problems would have arisen!
"Then let's go find Na'er first."
Hearing this, Tang Luochuan also spoke gently.
"Mm!"
"But before that..."
Gu Yue first acknowledged, then her gaze fell on the remaining four cups of tea on the table. She picked them all up and poured them out.
"Now it's fine."
Gu Yue's face flushed slightly as she spoke seriously. If any of the other girls came and drank it, it wouldn't be good.
At least under the current circumstances, even she couldn't withstand Luo Chuan's repeated attacks, let alone the other sisters...
She didn't even dare to imagine it!
"Mm!"
Hearing this, Tang Luochuan responded with a smile, though when his eyes fell on those teacups, he couldn't help but think of Dai Yun'er. That little girl...
"..."
"Duoduo, did you run into Luo Chuan and Gu Yue today?"
That afternoon, Dai Yun'er approached Wu Siduo, her eyes carrying a hint of urgency as she couldn't help but ask.
Gu Yue and Luo Chuan...
Since the incident that day, she hadn't seen either of them appear. It had already been two days now—don't tell her they had been...
"Mm-hmm!"
"At the time, Luo Chuan was carrying Gu Yue to the Inner Court, and I happened to see them. After that..."
Wu Siduo wore a thoughtful expression.
"When I saw them again later, Luo Chuan seemed perfectly normal, and Gu Yue didn't look strange either, but..."
"I just felt there was something different about her."
"And she seemed to be having some discomfort in her legs."
Wu Siduo recounted what she had observed, speaking seriously. In truth, she had been quite restrained in her description—given Gu Yue's condition at the time...
She was genuinely limping!
"Discomfort in her legs..."
Hearing this, a strange glint flickered in Dai Yun'er's eyes, as if she had thought of something, but soon, her heart couldn't help but grow unsettled again.
Before Luo Chuan appeared, she had been agonizing over the previous incident of drugging. Now that Luo Chuan had shown up...
"Me?"
"What should I do..."
Dai Yun'er's heart was filled with anxiety.
Would Luo Chuan think...
That she was a very, very bad girl!
——————————
"It was I who won over Luo Chuan."
"Not Luo Chuan who won me over, you know!"
Gu Yue said with a serious expression, speaking bluntly.
—The typical stubborn denial of the main wife who gives herself away freely.
