Finally Escaping, Marrying the Jade Maiden? The Lady Questions Him, Whence Came the Double Pupils

The crane spread its wings, blotting out the sky, and held a crimson elixir in its beak. Its bright, intelligent eyes curiously observed Li Xian.

"A guest comes from the clouds; please fetch the Crane-in-Midst Elixir."

Lü Dongzhi was bold and unrestrained.

His Martial Dao arts skills were unparalleled, and his tomb was magnificently laid out. Everyone believed that a significant inheritance was hidden deep within the tomb. However, he deliberately placed it outside the tomb.

People explore ancient tombs seeking wealth and treasure. Yet he deliberately ensured that those who left empty-handed returned laden with riches. The crane, a creature of great spirit and wisdom, had lived there for generations, obeying Lü Dongzhi's dying wish. Upon seeing those who left empty-handed, it would carry cinnabar in its beak to deliver them.

As the saying goes, "A guest comes from the clouds; please fetch the Crane-in-Midst Elixir."

This implies that entering the tomb for sightseeing is considered visiting as a guest. As a guest, how could one steal the host's treasures? Leaving the tomb empty-handed means one is indeed a "guest" of the tomb.

Since you are a "guest," please bring me the Crane-in-Midst Elixir.

Lü Dongzhi had already revealed the location of the hidden treasure, but no one could fathom it. He had many disciples during his lifetime, but very few were truly open-minded and free-spirited. This carefree and ethereal quality was something no one could imitate even a fraction of.

Conversely...

Qi Beidao retorted, "You're asking him for the truth; he's just a smooth talker." His tone was serious, indicating he really wanted to know.

"Logically speaking... it should be possible. The Seven Saints Cave is a dead end, Wen Caishang is blocking the entrance, making escape extremely difficult!"

Nanyang collected the clothes, but they were worn out. Following the Terrain Map, he found a rugged terrain. There were no streams nearby, making it somewhat more suitable than other places.

Qi Beidao's heart sank, yet a faint joy lingered within him. He said, "Li Lang... we're lucky, there's a way. He... you were... you were... you were naughty..." His pretty face flushed slightly.

Su Qiuwu and Li Xian exclaimed in surprise, "It's no wonder we've been unable to catch them despite their constant escape. They're incredibly troublesome!"

"We have something to attend to; let's leave slowly," Qi Beidao said.

Two more days passed, and the sunlight slanted into the forest, warm and gentle. The moment we stepped out of Tiger-Cry Ridge, a clear breeze blew, and we felt reborn.

Li Xian caught the crimson elixir, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Senior!" Without examining it closely, he put it into his sleeve and quickly fled with Wen Caishang.

My thoughts were clear and organized. I gazed at Nanyang for a long time, yet I felt no drowsiness. But as I pondered these thoughts, they became increasingly tangled, and I was filled with anxiety about gains and losses.

That sect is extremely favored by the heavens; every thousand years, it will produce a "Golden Boy" and a "Jade Boy," leading Profound Dao Mountain to its peak.

Nanyang slapped his palms several times, scattering all the rats, ants, and poisonous creatures. Except for the heads, all eight corpses had turned into "Red Bone," which were bones covered with flesh and blood.

Just then, Li Xian and Cao Yilun arrived. Although they were unfamiliar with the tomb passage, their heavy skills were formidable, making them incredibly slow. They wandered around, going east and west, and after a few turns, they gradually figured it out.

Thinking back to how Cao Yi rose through the ranks from a Miscellaneous Servant servant to Guard, Guard captain, and Martial Commandant... he gradually gained power. He didn't seem like much then, but looking back now, he was incredibly formidable.

I led the way from behind, and we slowly found the "Seven Saints Cave". The cave entrance was tightly closed, and it emitted a strange smell. I frowned deeply, but I did not see "Wen Caishang".

Nanyang asked, "Golden Boy and a jade boy? Are they very powerful?"

But it was you who I conquered.

Lü Dongzhi was utterly dejected, already feeling the need to blame Li Xian for his stupidity. Upon reflection, he realized that his arrogance and self-importance had manipulated people's hearts, causing discord within the Sword-Hunting Alliance. Nanyang, cunning and shrewd, had exploited this discord to seek his own survival.

It was late July, when spring was in full bloom. Nanyang was filled with joy and delight, and he expressed his feelings. No matter how many dangers and obstacles he faced, they could not dampen his Intent-Qi. Here, his unparalleled brilliance was revealed.

Li Xian said, "Hmph, Lü Dongzhi, stop pretending! Do you think he knows what this messenger said?"

Qi Beidao said, "Yes! It's truly difficult."

Qi Beidao said calmly, "Oh no, he's finished asking you questions, now it's your turn to ask him."

"Hidden Terrain Map?" Lü Dongzhi paused, then his eyes lit up. "Really? How did he know?"

"Hmph!" Cao Yilun snorted, flicking his sleeves. I am skilled in scheming and plotting. Seeing Wen Caishang's death, I couldn't help but feel a sense of shared sorrow. I was terrified of Qi Beidao. We had met and fought several times, and although I was clearly weaker than his opponent, I always ended up losing badly.

Even with my slow mind, how can I deduce anything from just the word "heavy"? I've thought and thought, but what clues do I have?

Silence fell upon the crowd. They heard only the howling wind and the cries of cranes, utterly bewildered and helpless. They had lost their way and were now trapped in a predicament. Bad luck had brought them to this predicament for life...

Upon hearing this, everyone felt something was amiss. Lü Dongzhi said, "Nanyang is extremely cunning, Qi Beidao is extremely ruthless... The two are in cahoots, adulterers, devising endless bizarre and dangerous schemes!"

"If Wen Caishang dies here, we'll have to flee again. If we really don't Terrain Map, the sooner we escape the tomb, the worse it will be. And they're guarding the exit... we..."

Qi Beidao said, "Seeing us means we should have left the woods by now!"

Nanyang was covered in wounds and was very nervous. He sat down to rest under a vine, with two people helping him sit down.

Qi Beidao said, "His eldest son's trip to the ancient tomb has certainly broadened his horizons. There is indeed no Zhao lineage on Profound Dao Mountain; it is the Jade Man lineage."

The sky is clear and bright.

He thought that if the two of them had Terrain Map, they might be able to escape Tiger-Cry Ridge. Suddenly, his temples turned white, his whole body trembled with heat, and his Intent-Qi were dampened.

Li Xian shook his head and said, "Yes... that's right. This boy begged you to take me with you. If it were Nanyang, why would he make such a request?"

The two of them cooked haphazardly.

The thought of it sends a chill down my spine.

You suddenly thought, "If I were to help you, you would be dead even if you didn't have ten lives. I am exceptionally talented and handsome. You've misjudged me. I am of ordinary appearance, and although I am young, I am quite foolish. But my cleverness and drive make you rely on me."

Wen Caishang suddenly opened her eyes and angrily said, "Chong..." Her expression was shocked, but she froze completely, as if she were dead.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Although I have a clear understanding of the layout of the tomb, my knowledge of the past and present is far inferior to that of Qi Beidao. I have a very good understanding of "Zhao Zhiyuan".

Nanyang said, "Didn't you just want to ask?"

After passing two Resting Forest, they saw the mysterious mountain range resembling a small ocean, and the Resting Forest resembling a remote island. They were already dozens of miles away from the small hill where the tomb was located. Since Lü Dongzhi and his group did not have Terrain Map, the probability of them finding this place was extremely high, so they could rest assured.

A campfire was burning nearby.

They all felt fortunate, for at that moment they had no other desires.

Qi Beidao's long, flowing hair, bathed in the bright moonlight, accentuated your elegant figure. You said, "What... are you coveting that handsome young man? With his talent, he might just surprise you."

White smoke drifted away, and the forest was quiet. Before the brief moment of joy, the two worked together to continue their journey. There were still plenty of Poisonous Leech here, but a kind of poisonous flower was blooming. The fragrance of the flower attracted poisonous creatures such as snakes, scorpions, and spiders.

"Oh dear," Qi Beidao said softly, "How can you blame him? He... he did so little for you, and you're still so grateful. Let's slowly make our way out of the forest!"

Nanyang spotted white smoke nearby and laughed, "Madam! It's cooking smoke! Finally, we can see some signs of human habitation!"

"The young man born today bears the surname Zhao."

Qi Beidao thought about it for a long time last night and didn't sleep a wink. He pretended to fall asleep before it got dark and lay down next to Nanyang.

"During the Xiaoyu era... Shen Pingping experienced a major upheaval. The event was rather obscure; before the upheaval, Cao Yilun changed the name, and from then on it was called..."

According to Lü Dongzhi, I know Wen Caishang's strength. Having suffered such injuries, she will surely be plotted against after her death, and her strength will be unable to be used.

Nanyang thought to himself, "Since Madam suffered her setback, you've gone through many trials, fighting enemies, seeking refuge, and searching tombs... but you're exhausted. Although you've escaped the predicament, I reckon it will be difficult for Lü Dongzhi and his men to catch up. But... the more difficult the situation, the more you should relax!"

Nanyang sighed, "Judging from their attire, they must have been merchants passing through who had mistakenly entered Tiger-Cry Ridge. Moved by the mournful cries of the tigers, they took their own lives here."

Tiger-Cry Ridge is extremely treacherous. It is home to numerous snakes, insects, rats, ants, poisonous creatures, and wild beasts. If a person dies here, it will immediately attract "Man-Eating Ant." These ant-like beasts bite with extreme pain, and their numbers are extremely small.

Qi Beidao said, "You hate it when people lie to you. If he lies to you again, let's see if you still talk to him!" His tone was charming and subtle. Nanyang smiled and said, "If you dare to do it again, please don't be offended, Madam."

Li Xian's expression changed, and he said, "You... you said it was a minor issue long ago! You originally wanted to bring me along, but since Brother Li agreed, I had to give up!"

"What's this called?" Cao Yi asked.

Upon reaching Nanyang, I saw a dirt road and followed it. As evening approached, I came across a peaceful mountain village with wisps of smoke rising from its chimneys. I also encountered an old man carrying firewood on his back, humming a mountain song as he hurried home.

It was noon.

Nanyang inspected the harvest. Eight sets of silk clothing, though crawled on by poisonous insects, smelled foul, and were stained with blood, were in relatively poor condition.

"I know Li Xian holds no grudge against you or Wen Caishang. That's why I took the initiative to ask Li Xian for help, and Li Xian will surely agree. In that case, I will definitely come along!"

(This is a seven-in-one chapter, and I estimate that there won't be any more chapters after this update, so please be patient, dear readers.)

That night, he was finally able to get some rest. Nanyang cut down some soft grass and felled some Apocynum venetum trees to make a simple wooden bed, which he then laid down on soft grass.

Nanyang suddenly said, "Ah... your chest hurts so much. Let me gently rub it for you." Qi Beidao's beautiful eyes relaxed, guessing that his sword had deeply wounded Nanyang. Feeling a deep sense of regret, he quickly reached out to touch her.

"Lady Broken Sword?"

Nanyang thought to himself, "You and your wife are dressed in tattered clothes and have no money on you. Since you've encountered them, you might as well lend them some. Hmm... consider it payment for helping them collect their corpses!"

Lü Dongzhi said, "Could it be that you escaped again?"

Cao Yi slept until noon on the seventh day. Before waking up, he said with regret, "I'm late! I'm late!" He had originally planned to collect dew to drink on the way.

The seven men rallied their spirits and pursued the enemy to the side peak, where they found a vast expanse of green, a boundless expanse, with no trace of Nanyang or Qi Beidao.

Man-Eating Ant Crimson-Poison Frog, Crimson-Poison Frog attract venomous snakes... and so on, naturally making this robe a breeding ground for filth and a den of vipers.

Nanyang embraced Cao Yilun, enjoying the gentle breeze through the forest and gazing at the bright moon and stars. Even when faced with life-or-death threats and forced to flee in disarray, he found peace in his heart.

A sudden jolt went through him, and he exclaimed, "Could it be... could it be... this messenger is Nanyang! I deliberately mentioned the Terrain Map to provoke them into hurrying here!"

With a "whoosh," poisonous insects, scorpions, bees... and other venomous creatures scattered from the trouser legs and sleeves, a sight that sent chills down one's spine.

Time flows on.

Lü Dongzhi explained the situation. Li Xian and Cao Yilun were both taken aback. Seeing Wen Caishang's tragic death, they couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy. Lü Dongzhi was quite calm, thinking that with Wen Caishang's death, he had gained another powerful ally. The more critical the moment, the more he should remain calm and thwart any plans.

Qi Beidao said, "Shen Pingping is an extremely ancient force, having survived the rise and fall of dynasties. Such a force is not particularly powerful."

Li Xian said calmly, "You've heard that the witch possesses Terrain Map the tomb, so naturally you should sit still."

Qi Beidao arrogantly and said, "Powerful, of course. Appearing only once in a thousand years, he is virtually unmatched from the moment he is born. And in his generation, there were no Golden Boy or jade men. If you calculate their ages... they are a few years younger than him."

"... But... but I'm honest! I've lied to you before, I've lied to you now... I know I've lied to you more often than I've ever. I... I risked my life to save you, was it because I love you? I once said I loved you terribly, that I dreamed of you, was that also a lie to you?"

Cao Yi thought to himself, "This Golden Boy and jade boy are blessed by heaven, making people envious. But it has something to do with you. Why don't you ask someone who has nothing to do with you?" He then asked, "Is there no Zhao family in this Profound Dao Mountain?"

It's definitely not something to be overly worried about.

Qi Beidao preferred to wear other people's clothes; although the white dress wasn't damaged, it could still be worn for a few days.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Nanyang struck up a conversation and spent ten copper coins to secure a place to stay for the night in the woodshed. In the woodshed, the old man helped lay out straw mats, and Nanyang and Cao Yilun lay down.

Cao Yi asked with concern, "Madam, is he injured?" He checked your pulse and examined your injuries. Qi Beidao was initially heartbroken, but seeing Cao Yi's attentive care, she felt quite sweet.

As soon as he touched the corpse, he felt a surge in his sleeve. Nanyang became alert, took eight steps forward, and unleashed his Jade Luo Palm strike from a distance.

The Seven Viscera Turbidity-Avoidance and Meeting Yang Meridian, the Crane-Delivered Vermilion Jade Pill, the Sword Control Recipe... I have obtained a few things, but I will keep them buried in my heart for now. I will devote myself to studying the Terrain Map and figuring out how to travel.

Nanyang pulled Qi Beidao and asked, "Madam, does he know of a force called ' Shen Pingping '?"

Seven days have passed in the blink of an eye. The two have been together every day, and their expressions have become quite intimate. Qi Beidao is sometimes a teacher and sometimes a seductress, while Nanyang is unrestrained and dissolute. The journey they have taken has been anything but interesting.

Previously, there were waist tags, jade pendants, and other such items. Cao Yi took what he could, threw eight sets of clothes into the stream, and carefully washed them to remove the dirt.

Lü Dongzhi asked, "Those seven people were quite quick. You originally thought you'd have to wait a few more days for them."

I travel through the mountains by day and study Terrain Map by night. With the Terrain Map in hand, but the terrain of the mountains looming over me, I am still nervous about stepping out of Tiger-Cry Ridge.

Qi Beidao was overjoyed and playfully scolded, "You brat, he wouldn't dare lie to you!" Nanyang laughed, "You wanted to surprise your wife."

"We need to follow the earth's veins. The ridges are the veins, the watercourses are the channels..."

Your waist is like a water snake, your black hair flows with fragrance, and you "coil" down. Your beautiful eyes seem to hold sorrow and grief, resentment and reproach, as you softly say, "My love, his Double Pupils have deceived you terribly..."

I overthink things. Since I came from another world, I've often been thinking about my situation, my status, and how to survive... Although I've overcome many obstacles, fatigue has always been weighing on my mind.

Long, slender, white fingers slipped into his chest and touched a roll of animal hide. He took it out and examined it; it was a corner of Terrain Map of the Tomb Hill, the Mysterious Mountain Range, and Tiger-Cry Ridge.

"Ah!" Li Xian exclaimed in surprise.

Lü Dongzhi said, "This servant asked, why did they bring me back along the way?"

He pried open the mouths. The brainstem, tongue, and eyeballs... had all been devoured by poisonous insects. Nanyang meticulously cared for the eight corpses, drove away the poisonous insects, and pulled off their clothes.

The clothes of Nanyang and Qi Beidao were scratched by tree branches but were not torn. They patched them up, rested occasionally, and then continued on their way.

Nanyang took out Terrain Map, wielded the River-Sinking Sword, and cleaved through trees to clear a path. The rest of the journey continued; though the Densewood Forest remained treacherous, we were able to rest in Resting Forest.

Wen Caishang was dragged out of the Seven Saints Cave. She was already dead, and her injuries were horrific. She had an arrow in her chest, a knife wound in her abdomen, and burns on her skin... She must have gone through an extremely fierce battle.

The water pouches and food supplies in Nanyang are all empty. However, this place is still close to the tomb, and if Lü Dongzhi pursues it desperately, he might just happen to encounter it.

The map meticulously records the mountain's contours, where there are Resting Forest, where there are no streams, and where dangers must be avoided. By following this Terrain Map, one can surely escape the mountains and truly ascend to heaven!

Su Qiuwu said awkwardly, "Brother Su, please don't misunderstand. You're not gloating. It's just... it's just that Brother Zhao's death was the worst possible material for refining the ' Wrathful-Eyed Corpse '."

The next day.

She stared intently, her brows furrowing and relaxing at times. She murmured, "If I had known that his eldest son would make you so miserable, I would have mentored him back then. But then again, if I had mentored him, how could you have survived this ordeal? You... you've escaped danger, but for some reason, your heart is in turmoil... utterly chaotic."

There is already a "Resting Forest" outside.

I was so frustrated and annoyed that the feeling was hard to describe.

Qi Beidao said, "That's wrong! Profound Dao Mountain's martial arts are complete, with a history spanning thousands of years. The depth of its foundation is unimaginable."

He then gathered everyone together and led them to a tomb chamber. Sitting under the coffin, they pieced together their individual clues, experiences, and various details.

Nanyang said, "Madam, although we've escaped our pursuers, but... but you've obtained Terrain Map, and now you'll be wandering the vast forests forever."

Meanwhile, on the other side...

"Those corpses must have suffered minimal fright and anger after death, dying amidst utter despair. The words I uttered when I suddenly opened my eyes and mouth just now were ' Corpse Speech,' a message I desperately tried to convey to the inner world."

They endured hunger and hardship, and walked more than ten miles along the mountain path.

"Profound Dao Mountain?" Nanyang had never heard of it.

Nanyang suddenly felt a surge of heat throughout her body, sensing a faint murderous intent: "Madam is joking; you're just being mischievous."

Qi Beidao said, "I do know Cao Yilun, but Shen Pingping isn't called Shen Pingping anymore."

The tomb here clearly exhibits a "seven-sided tomb" layout, meaning it is divided into seven areas, representing the seven directions and encompassing the seven seas. Su Qiuwu already knew that the tomb belonged to "Zhao Zhiyuan".

Lü Dongzhi said enthusiastically, "Tell me the details of the conversation!" Li Xian immediately recounted the entire conversation in Nanyang.

Nanyang chuckled casually, "A dream come true! Why even dream about it!" He stretched, feeling quite comfortable. The scent of her hair lingered on his chest.

They walked more than ten miles a day, and continued like this for several days.

Cao Yilun announced, "The Sword-Hunting Alliance... declares victory!"

Cao Yi and Qi Beidao left the small hill where the tomb was located. The humid weather made them sweat profusely after walking only a few miles.

Li Xian may be foolish and stupid, but Nanyang is extremely formidable. I almost missed him several times along the way.

Cao Yi, without thinking too much, truthfully replied, "I was too tired last night and had a dream." Qi Beidao thought to himself, "You were by his side last night, and he also dreamed about you. He... he... could he really have been lying to you?" His face paled slightly.

Suddenly, under a nearby low tree, eight corpses were seen hanging. They were all women, dressed in silk robes, swaying heavily in the breeze, having been dead for less than two days.

Cao Yi nodded and said, "Those accompanying merchants are quite formidable. They certainly won't be able to venture deep into the forest. It should take us about two more days to get out of the forest."

"Profound Dao Mountain."

That day.

Nanyang and Qi Beidao rested for a while. They proceeded according to the Terrain Map, Terrain Map stated. "The terrain here is very chaotic, disturbing the stars and directions. It is best to rely on your sense of direction."

"Adulterous couple... given time, the adulterer might become even more ruthless than the adulteress!"

He let out a heavy sigh, his back hunched, his dejection barely concealed. He said:

Wen Caishang knew that the "Nanyang Scholars" were extremely eccentric and could not be judged by ordinary standards. That period of history was marked by strife, chaos, and bizarre ethics. There were noble scholars and brutal villains.

Having witnessed the entirety of Nanyang, one finds the Perfect Aspect already a rare gift, and to add the "Double-Pupil Aspect" to that... If one were to learn this martial art, combining "martial arts" and "Transformed Aspect," who in the world could rival him? Therefore, the host will compare everyone he encounters with Nanyang.

With a loud rumble, lead and mercury gushed out. Su Qiuwu and Lü Dongzhi dodged to the side, their breaths held and brows furrowed as they protected themselves. After a short while, all the lead and mercury flowed out, revealing the scene within.

Gazing at the star charts, he felt increasingly drowsy. Nanyang closed her eyes and fell asleep. Qi Beidao, seeing Nanyang in his arms, thought to himself that she was saying annoying things and being cheeky, which made him feel very strange.

Qi Beidao, confident in his extensive experience in the Jianghu, has seen countless talented individuals pursue him in the past. Among them are those from prominent clans, those with considerable strength, and those from first-rate sects... all of whom you have overlooked. However, in terms of potential and talent, several of them are quite weak.

Cao Yilun laughed, "Bad, bad!" and clapped his hands, shouting "Bad!"

Li Xian's face turned ashen. Even with his intelligence, after this reminder and careful consideration, he realized the absurdity of the situation. Nanyang had escaped from my sight eight times; such a minor humiliation... he deserved to die!

Those tomb raiders, after cracking the mechanisms of the tombs, would inevitably collect famous paintings and treasures... Even thousands of years after Lü Dongzhi's death, it was difficult to stop them. But they missed out on the best treasures.

We suffered heavy losses, Wen Caishang was killed. We have regained our courage and are now pursuing her into the forest. If we find Terrain Map, we will live off this mountain range.

Respond calmly.

Qi Beidao smiled wryly, but also felt a pang of bitterness.

They also obtained "eighteen taels of silver." This was truly a delightful surprise. Nanyang said, "Madam, even without the silver, we can have a good meal before we leave!"

Like sugar and honey, I cherish it dearly. Her fingers brush my hair, caress my cheek, and her beautiful eyes shimmer with affection.

Qi Beidao's beautiful eyes were simple. Suddenly, she asked, "Great Immortal, he slept soundly last night. Did he have any dreams?"

They dug a pit on the spot to bury them, cut down trees, and simply erected a wooden stele. This revealed the origins and surnames of the eight people, as the stele contained inscriptions.

The sword wound in Nanyang had scabbed over, and the arm wound was gradually healing. It was already 80% healed. Qi Beidao gathered herbs from the forest, brewed them into a medicinal ointment, and helped Cao Yi apply it.

Cao Yilun said, "Why is he asking that? His hand is so honest, he's asking for a beating!" He slapped Nanyang's hand hard. But Nanyang's annoyingly flirtatious gesture somehow swept away some of your annoyance.

The abnormal disciple died, so be it. But Cao Yilun was a dignified eighth-realm martial artist, even if he had just entered the eighth realm and was in good health. It was only because of Nanyang's First Realm martial artist and Qi Beidao's Qi-infused cripple... that he was able to kill him.

Wen Caishang was swollen all over and lay sprawled on the ground. Lü Dongzhi untied the silk ribbon from his waist, threw it out, wrapped it around Wen Caishang's body, and pulled hard.

Su Qiuwu Proficiency in tomb layout. I have robbed tombs and dug up corpses in tombs Li Quan, Xiao Yu, Xiao Wu, and even more ancient ones.

After traveling more than ten miles from Nanyang and Qi Beidao, they arrived at Resting Forest as dusk fell. The sky was filled with brilliant stars, the moon shone brightly over the fields, and the stars illuminated all the trees.

Cao Yilun fumbled around the mechanism and explored the area around the cave entrance. It took him almost half a day to open the cave door.

The layout of tombs during the Li Quan period did not typically include patterns such as "Seven-Sided Tomb," "Four Immortals Tomb," or "Four Dragons Tomb."

Cao Yilun said, "How strange! You also rushed here because you were told to come by someone. But the messenger didn't mention anything about the ' Terrain Map ' to you."

Cao Yilun said, "No matter what, let's open the hole and take a look."

You are inherently selfish and self-serving, yet you saw Cao Yi as someone who offered you the elixir, and you intended to take it for yourself. In doing so, you helped me gain favor.

Upon hearing this, Cao Yilun shook his head and sighed, "A wicked scheme, a wicked heart, a wicked act that goes against the grain. Forty percent of the time it's... it's this Nanyang!"

"Hmm?" Cao Yilun said, "I just used the word 'heavy,' what does 'heavy' mean?"

Your fingers are pale and heavy, and when you administer the medicine, there's always a subtle, teasing touch. Your beautiful eyes are full of spring-like longing, truly captivating. Nanyang Yinjue feels that Qi Beidao is similar, but lacks some of the delicate charm of a man.
