Chapter 104

The official found it impossible to persuade them and was hesitant to forcibly bring them back to the palace.

Moreover, as far as he knew, he couldn’t beat these two, and returning empty-handed wasn’t an option either.

So, after some consideration, he decided to follow them around every day.

Wherever there goes, there is always a beautiful, oh no, showing-off scene.

After about ten days of traveling, they reached the city on the border. The official, Lu Zhong, finally became anxious—if they kept going, they would leave Baiqi Kingdom.

So, Lu Zhong sought help from Su Hua.

In these days, Lu Zhong understood that the Fifth Prince only listened to Su Hua.

Whatever she said went. If he could get her on his side, returning to the palace would be a cinch.

Although getting on her good side wasn’t easy either.

But to Lu Zhong’s surprise, this time she agreed as soon as he asked.

Lu Zhong was overjoyed and immediately arranged for a carriage to hurry back to the capital.

Mu Ye sat in the carriage, holding Su Hua’s hand, and asked in confusion, “Why?”

“For fun.”

How could it not be fun for the female lead to come to Baiqi?

More importantly, the female lead came to Baiqi Kingdom with Lou Lan.

Lou Lan also had high status. Not only was he the secret boss of the Cangyan Mercenary Group, but he was also the youngest prime minister of the Baiqi Kingdom.

Although the plot was ahead of schedule, according to the original plot, Meng Yunxin was supposed to cuckold Long Ao on this trip to Baiqi Kingdom.

De’er, feeling dejected and resigned, congratulated the male lead’s green hat team on scoring another point.

Even though Lu Zhong was eager to return to the capital, he did not dare to neglect Su Hua and Mu Ye along the way.

He served them very well. Su Hua, in a good mood because of the female lead, and well taken care of by Lu Zhong, started to treat him better.

However, the Fifth Prince’s face grew darker.

Lu Zhong was trembling with fear, just wanting to finish the job quickly, and vowed never to accept the job of these two ancestors again.

After five days of hurried travel, the group finally returned to the capital.

Lu Zhong didn’t dare to relax and wanted to take the two to see the emperor.

However, the ‘aunt’ insisted on staying in the other courtyard and refused to leave.

“…” Exhausted.

If Su Hua knew Lu Zhong’s troubles, she would surely say that the female lead was right here in the capital. How could she watch the show if they entered the palace?

Mu Ye, although unaware of Su Hua’s plans, didn’t care about anything else as long as she was by his side.

Lu Zhong, exhausted and wanting to report back to the palace, was suddenly called by Mu Ye.

Lu Zhong, surprised by the attention, was even more shocked by Mu Ye’s question.

“How can I keep Hua Hua by my side forever?”

If Su Hua were here, she would certainly have sighed that Mu Ye could say such a long sentence.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Zhong gave Mu Ye an answer, “Marriage. As long as Your Highness marries Miss Yao, she will be yours.”

Lu Zhong guessed that this was the answer Mu Ye wanted.

“Marriage?”

Lu Zhong nodded, but then the Fifth Prince asked, “How?”

Lu Zhong explained at length, realizing that the prince seemed unaware of these common matters. It took half an hour to explain everything.

“Return to the palace tomorrow.”

These last four words from Mu Ye invigorated Lu Zhong.

The talk about marriage wasn’t in vain.

When it came to watching the male lead wear a green hat, Su Hua was never stingy with points.

—

Lou Lan, usually cautious and formidable, was caught off guard by his opponent’s move today. In his haste to escape, he stumbled into a cave.

Outside, thousands of guards couldn’t find him, but the female lead did!!

Su Hua sighed. The plot master was really relentless in getting these two to sleep together.

Inside the cave.

Lou Lan’s whole body was burning hot. Despite taking many antidotes and calming pills, nothing worked, and his body temperature kept rising.

He took out a dagger and cut his arm, just barely maintaining his consciousness.

Now he could only hope that someone outside would find him soon.

Otherwise, he would surely die from the fire of lust consuming him.

“Big brother Lou. Big brother Lou”

A woman’s pleasant voice faintly reached his ears. Lou Lan laughed at himself—was he starting to hallucinate now?

“Big brother Lou, big brother Lou.”

The woman’s voice got closer. Lou Lan was pleasantly surprised to realize that this was no hallucination.

“Xin, Xin’er.”

Though his voice was not loud, Meng Yunxin’s cultivation was high enough that she quickly found the vine-covered cave.

“Big Brother Lou.” Meng Yunxin’s delighted voice rang out.

She hurriedly squatted beside Lou Lan, “You’re okay—”

Lou Lan pinned Meng Yunxin down, pressing heated kisses all over her.

Meng Yunxin hurriedly raised her hand to resist, “Lou Lan, calm down.”

Lou Lan paid her no mind.

The coolness of the person beneath him felt so good, and she was his dream girl. His rationality crumbled the moment he saw her.

Meng Yunxin had no choice but to take out a pill from her space and feed it to Lou Lan, but after a while, it had no effect.

Meng Yunxin frowned, grabbed Lou Lan’s hand, and examined his body.

After a moment, she was deeply troubled.

“It’s the Phantom Dragon Pill…” This drug couldn’t be cured without a woman.

Grabbing the dagger from the ground, Meng Yunxin stabbed it into Lou Lan’s arm.

Lou Lan instantly sobered up, his eyes red.

Seeing Meng Yunxin’s disheveled state, Lou Lan immediately understood what had happened.

“Xin, Xin’er, I’m sorry. You..you should leave.”

Meng Yunxin told him what she knew.

“Big Brother Lou, listen to me. You’ve been poisoned by the Phantom Dragon Pill. You must have intercourse with a woman. Now, I’ll knock you out and find someone—”

“Don’t say it, Xin’er. I would rather die than have intercourse with another woman.”

“Big brother Lou, now is not the time to be stubborn, you—”

Lou Lan, restraining himself, his face flushed red, still spoke clearly, “Xin’er, you know my heart. Asking me to have intercourse with another woman, I would rather die.”

Saying this, Lou Lan picked up the dagger and aimed it at his heart.

“Big brother Lou.”

Meng Yunxin quickly grabbed his hand, her heart aching as she thought of Long Ao and Ni Xiang’s romantic entanglement.

She was deeply moved by Lou Lan’s loyalty.

“If you don’t mind, Xin’er is willing to be your antidote.”

She was originally a modern person and didn’t care much about her virginity.

It was only because of Long Ao that she cared.

But now that Long Ao doesn’t cherish her feelings, why should she keep her body for him? Besides, Lou Lan had helped her many times; she couldn’t just watch him die.

“Xin, Xin’er, I can’t harm you. You should leave.”

Lou Lan’s refusal moved Meng Yunxin even more.

As an alchemist, she was well aware of the potency of the Phantom Dragon Pill. Yet Lou Lan had endured for so long and kept urging her to leave.

Any reservations she had disappeared in that moment.

“Big brother Lou.”

Meng Yunxin proactively offered her lips.

It was like a spark igniting dry tinder. Lou Lan’s long-suppressed impulses exploded all at once.

The air filled with amorous tension, intensifying with their every breath, growing thicker and thicker…
