Yao Jia sat on the edge of the bed, holding the quilt tightly with both hands, the struggle and helplessness deep in her heart were beyond words.

Now, she was really determined. Even if Mingjue wanted to use her as a medicine man, she would be willing.

In order to break off the engagement with Gu Xiyan, she would give up everything!

"This medicine is harmful to the human body. I can't give it to you." Mingjue's voice was very soft, but it was like a stone thrown into a lake, causing ripples.

Yao Jia knew that what he said was right. This kind of medicine that forcibly suppresses internal strength is indeed very harmful to the body.

After a struggle, he clenched his teeth and said, "I know, but this is the only solution I have now. Can you help me? Don't you like to test drugs on me? I have no objection now. Just come on, I promise that I will cooperate with you as much as possible, or... or..."

Yaojia thought of the time in the bamboo forest. In fact, Mingjue wanted to use his body to detoxify her.

I really regret rejecting him at that time. Wouldn't things have been easier if I had had physical contact with him?

But it's not too late now.

Thinking of this, Yao Jia stood up, walked to Ming Jue, and put her arms around his neck.

Mingjue's whole body stiffened.

Yao Jia felt his change, smiled, and said, "Or use my body as a condition...how about..."

Yao Jia's voice carried a hint of bewitching. She looked at Ming Jue steadily, her peach blossom eyes full of charm.

Mingjue's eyes narrowed instantly, and his heartbeat seemed to be pinched by an invisible hand, and it was rapid and urgent. He took a deep breath, "Yaojia, you know I can't..."

Before he could finish his words, Yao Jia kissed his lips.

The woman's sweet fragrance immediately filled her mouth.

Yao Jia's body pressed tightly against him, her proud and voluptuous breasts rubbing against his chest.

The unprecedented tingling sensation began to spread from the mouth to all parts of the body, finally converging in the lower abdomen.

He wanted to raise his hands and hold her in his arms, but he tried hard to restrain himself.

Yao Jia is using herself as a bargaining chip. In order to break off the engagement, she is willing to pay any price, including her own body.

Mingjue felt as if someone poured a basin of cold water over his head and he woke up instantly.

He raised his hand and gently pried open Yao Jia's arms that were around his neck, looking at her coldly, "Yaoyao, don't be like this..."

Yao Jia looked at him in confusion, "What's wrong? Don't you want it?"

Mingjue shook his head and smiled bitterly, "What I want is not your body, but your heart... Can you give me your heart?"

Yao Jia lowered her head, feeling bitter in her heart.

She couldn't give it, and her heart now seemed unable to accommodate anyone.

When he looked up at Mingjue, a hint of despair flashed in his eyes.

"How can you... help me?"

Mingjue looked at her, feeling a little bit of pity in his heart. He was silent for a long time, then he sighed softly.

"Why do you have to leave here?"

Yao Jia's eyes were red. "Ming Jue, do you know? While I was here, my family arranged a marriage for me."

As soon as she finished speaking, tears fell like pearls from a broken string, "I don't like that person at all... but Daddy ignored my wishes and secretly arranged a marriage for me... I have to go back... and cancel the engagement..."

Ming Jue looked at Yao Jia's tearful face in panic, and was at a loss as to what to do. "Yao Yao, don't cry..."

Yao Jia threw herself into Ming Jue's arms, sobbing, "Ming Jue, you don't want me to marry someone I don't like, right? You know... I won't even let him touch anyone I don't like..."

Mingjue was slightly startled, and an imperceptible blush appeared on his handsome face, and his ears were red as if dripping blood.

His throat rolled and his voice was a little dry, "Yaoyao, please stop talking..."

"Mingjue... please..."

"I can help you..." Mingjue said softly.

"Are you really willing to help me?" Yao Jia's eyes lit up, and she looked up at Ming Jue with joy.

Mingjue nodded, "It's just that the medication needs to be adjusted, which may take a long time."

Yaojia knew that Mingjue was afraid that the medicine would harm Xuanying, and she didn't want that either. It was just a matter of time, and she just hoped that she wouldn't have to wait too long.

Although Mingjue agreed to help, the medicine could not make all of Xuanying's internal energy disappear, so Yaojia still needed to practice martial arts well.

In order to avoid being discovered by Xuanying, she had to practice, even if it meant pretending.

The days pass slowly, and the end of the year is approaching in the blink of an eye.

Yao Jia was standing in the yard, holding a wooden stick in his hand, practicing his moves.

After being here for nearly a year, with Mingjue's help, she has recovered 60% of her internal strength.

Instantly, an astonishing sword energy pierced through the air and attacked Yao Jia. Yao Jia dodged and raised the wooden stick to swing at the man.

When the wooden sticks collided, Yao Jia could see clearly who the person was.

"Huaichuan, why are you here?"

Huaichuan retracted his strength and put the stick on his shoulder. "What do you think? I haven't been to the Shadow Guard Camp for more than a month. I thought something happened to you!"

Yao Jia stuck the stick in her hand into the snow and said with a smile, "So you came here specially to visit me today?"

Huaichuan scratched his head and laughed dryly: "It's almost New Year's Day. Master asked me to come and see what you need, and let me take you down the mountain to buy it."

Yao Jia rolled her eyes in her heart. Xuan Ying was really asking questions knowing the answer. She wanted freedom, so why didn't he give it to her? He just used useless things to fool her.

But when she thought about leaving after the New Year, Yao Jia started to smile and said to Huai Chuan, "Why don't we go down the mountain together to buy New Year's goods!"

He called Langyue and Mingjue, pulled a carriage from the Shadow Guard Camp, and went down the mountain together.

Yao Jia looked at the dazzling array of goods, her eyes lit up and she was curious about everything.

She had never bought New Year's goods by herself before, and when she was in Jiangnan, she had servants to do it for her.

At the end of the year, Dad and Shuanghua would buy her a lot of new clothes. On New Year's Day, after she changed into them, Dad would order people to bring up the New Year gifts sent by her mother. She would wear her new clothes, stand in the room full of gifts, and pick out the ones she liked.

But among all the gifts, there is always a cute tiger-head hat every year. Yaojia’s zodiac sign is tiger, so every time she would put on the tiger-head hat first and then pick other gifts.

Now standing in the New Year goods area, Yao Jia was a little at a loss and didn't know how to choose.

"Do you want this?" Yao Jia picked up a red purse embroidered with plum blossoms and shook it at the three people.

Lang Yue looked at her, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes, "Buy it if you like it."

Yao Jia picked up a pair of red lantern earrings and put them on her ears, "How about this one?"

Mingjue nodded, "Very beautiful."

Yao Jia figured out the solution. It’s the New Year, so anything red will do.

So she took all the red goods in the store, and by the time the three men noticed something, Yao Jia had already asked the shop assistants to move all the things she had picked onto the carriage.

The carriage was packed full.

Huaichuan was stunned. "Junior sister, are you going to open a grocery store yourself?"

What’s even more interesting is that there is actually a pile of big red wedding characters inside.

Huaichuan picked up a card and unfolded it, laughing: "Junior sister, we are celebrating the New Year here, not getting married, why did you buy the Double Happiness? If someone doesn't know, they would think we are going back to get married...hahaha..."

Yao Jia looked at the red wedding character and her face turned pale for a moment. Fortunately, she concealed it in time and no one noticed.

Lang Yue also laughed, "Yaoyao, we have to post the word "Fu" during the Chinese New Year, but it's okay to just keep the word "Xi".

After Lang Yue finished speaking, a blush appeared on her face and she looked at Yao Jia with charming eyes.

At this time, the waiter ran out, holding a stack of big red "Fu" characters in his hands, and said with a smile: "I made a mistake. I didn't see it clearly just now and mixed up the characters. I'm really sorry, sorry..."

Then take the stack of double happiness back and put the word "Fu" on it.

Seeing that Huaichuan was holding a card in his hand, he didn't want to leave, but just said to leave it for Yaojia to play with.

Yao Jia looked at the word "喜" and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.

She doesn't want this word "喜" at all!

The horse-drawn carriage with the word "Fu" pasted on it, loaded with red New Year's goods, swayed back to the bamboo forest.

After unloading the New Year's goods from the car, Yao Jia said "I'm a little tired" and went back to her room. The other three people arranged the red items.
