Water Reflects Peach Blossoms

Feeling that the struggle of the woman in his arms was getting weaker and weaker, Li Lun, who was possessed by Zhimei, put down the handkerchief covering her and picked her up sideways.

In the darkness, he looked at Ao Yin who was lying on the ground: "Can you still walk?"

"Yes." Ao Yin nodded, supported himself on the wall and managed to stand up. He said respectfully to Li Lun, "Sir, I'm sorry. I underestimated you and failed to complete your instructions. I even asked you to do it yourself."

Looking down at the unconscious woman in his arms with a serene expression, Li Lun raised his lips in a good mood and said, "She is smart and clever. It's not your fault."

Nanzhi is smart and won't be easily defeated by Aoyin, so he follows behind and acts as a jackal.

……

In the dungeon, feeling the changes in the demonic power he left in Nanzhi, Zhu Yan slowly opened his eyes, and a flash of indifference and dangerous coldness flashed across his eyes.

……

Tianxiang Pavilion.

There was singing and dancing in the pavilion, the lights were shining as if it were daytime, and there was delicious food, good wine, and laughter everywhere.

In the largest room, isolated from the sounds of singing, dancing and music outside, Nanzhi, who was lying on the couch, slowly woke up.

The effect of the drug had not yet worn off, and her body was still a little weak. After blinking her eyes and seeing the delicate and intricate bed curtains above her head, she smelled a pleasant incense aroma.

This kind of incense is priceless, and she has only smelled it when she attended Princess Cheng'an's flower viewing banquet.

After waiting for a while until her strength recovered a little, she stood up and lifted the soft quilt covering her body. When she found that her clothes were still the same as before, she breathed a sigh of relief inaudibly.

The exquisitely embroidered gauze curtain blocked out the dazzling candlelight in the room.

Nanzhi gently lifted the gauze curtain with her bare hands, put on the shoes placed beside the bed, and looked around the room.

This room is extremely luxurious. The cushioned low tables, curtains, tea cups and wine vessels are all of the best quality, and the decoration is as extravagant as possible.

In particular, there was a large soft couch behind the bead curtain that was large enough to accommodate more than a dozen people. It was covered with soft pillows, and in the middle lay a charming and gentle woman in red.

The woman held a cup of tea in her hand and looked at Nanzhi. The charm in the corners of her eyes made people's hearts tremble.

"Who are you?" Nanzhi asked cautiously, "Where is this place?"

Looking at the woman standing outside the couch with a wary look on her face, without a trace of smile on her moon-like beautiful face, Li Lun tilted his head slightly, and his pupils instantly emitted a golden light mixed with a hint of green.

Nanzhi felt a pain in her eyes and couldn't help but close them. When she opened them again, the black eyeballs of a human turned golden green, and the woman in red in her eyes had completely changed into a different person.

The tall, black-haired man was leaning against the couch in a wicked manner, holding a teacup in his hand with distinct finger bones. His collar was slightly open, his black hair cascading down, and his sinister peach blossom eyes were staring at her.

Nanzhi said in a serious tone: "Are you a demon?"

"It's a demon." Li Lun's lips curled up faintly, and his body leaned forward slightly: "Are you scared?"

Suppressing the fear in her heart, Nanzhi remained calm and asked, "Where is Zhao Yuanzhou? Where is Zhao Yuanzhou?!"

Hearing her pleasant voice say Zhu Yan's name, the smile on Li Lun's face instantly faded. He sat back down with lost interest and whispered, "Pick one."

Nanzhi frowned: "What to choose?"

Li Lun became interested again: "Choose you or Zhao Yuanzhou."

"There's a cup of tea on the table next to you. Drink it, and I'll tell you where Zhao Yuanzhou is and let him go. If you don't drink it, you can leave safely."

Nanzhi turned her head and looked at the cup of tea on the table beside her.

She observed carefully and was sure that there was no table or tea next to her.

"What's in the tea?" Nanzhi asked, feeling a chill all over her body.

"I don't know either." Li Lun curled his lips: "But I can tell you where this place is."

"Tianxiang Pavilion, the largest brothel in Tiandu City."

Li Lun only told Nanzhi that this was Tianxiang Pavilion, but he also let her know how dangerous the things in the teacup were.

Human imagination is the most terrifying thing.

After knowing that this is a brothel, I will think the worst about the tea in the cup.

Seeing Nanzhi staring at the tea, his face pale and frightened, Li Lun's smile deepened: "Don't you want to drink?"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Nanzhi pick up the tea on the table, and the smile on the corner of her lips froze instantly.

Nanzhi asked, "If I drink it, will you let Zhao Yuanzhou go? Keep your word. I want you to swear to the Heavenly Dao with your inner elixir."

Demons are different from humans. Humans are full of lies, and demons can also be full of lies. But if they use their inner elixir to swear an oath to the heaven, then they will be punished by heaven if they break the oath.

The strange aura around Li Lun faded slightly. He seemed puzzled and asked, "How did you know?"

Nanzhi told him: "My father used to be an important official in the court, so I naturally know something about monsters."

In fact, it was a great demon who told her.

"Okay—" Li Lun withdrew his hand and raised three fingers to swear: "I swear on my inner elixir that if you drink the tea in the teacup, I will let Zhao Yuanzhou go this time. If you break this oath, I will be punished by heaven and earth."

Anyway, in response to the water ghost kidnapping case, he didn't intend to take Zhao Yuanzhou's life, so naturally he let him go.

Look, Li Lun swore an oath.

Nanzhi drank the tea in the cup in one gulp while watching his rather ugly expression.

The hot tea went down her throat and she put down the teacup as if she had lost her strength. Although she was nervous, she had already prepared herself.

As soon as she raised her eyes, she saw a strong and white chest in front of her. Li Lun had arrived in front of her without her knowing!

Frightened by the sudden appearance of Li Lun, Nanzhi staggered and was about to step back, but was stopped by a big hand around her waist. The hand she subconsciously waved towards Li Lun's handsome face in anger was easily grasped by his other hand.

Trapped in Li Lun's arms, Nanzhi couldn't struggle and could only stare at him.

"Let me go!" Nanzhi's foot that was trying to step on Li Lun was also dodged by him.

Feeling the slender and soft waist in his hand that could be held by one hand, Li Lun deliberately diverted her attention: "How does your body feel now?"

Nanzhi: "..."

After feeling it carefully, Nanzhi replied uncertainly: "I feel nothing... nothing?"

Li Lun lied to her: "The medicine hasn't taken effect yet, please be patient and wait a little longer."

The hairpin that Nanzhi had hidden in her sleeve fell into her hand and was held tightly. This was the hairpin she prepared for herself when she encountered danger and wanted to protect herself and not be humiliated.

Sniffing the delicate fragrance emanating from the woman, Li Lun's mood improved slightly. "You drank the tea willingly for Zhao Yuanzhou. Why? Do you like him?"

Nanzhi glared at Lilun: "What does this have to do with you? You disgusting bastard!"

Li Lun: “…”

Li Lun was instantly irritated and laughed: "Hate me?"

Nanzhi: "Aren't you annoying?"

The next moment, the world was spinning and her head was dazed. Nanzhi was pressed on the soft bed, her cold long hair fell by her ears, and Li Lun above her pinched her cheek, forcing her to look at him.

"Tell me you don't hate me."

"Hate you!"

"Why do you hate me? Say you don't hate me!"

"Why don't I hate you? I hate you the most!"
