The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

Situ Yaorao could imagine that it would be very scary in a while, definitely scarier than the biggest difficulty she had ever encountered in her life!

"These things will soon be used on your flesh, your bones, and even your blood. If you're afraid, you can retreat now. But if you don't retreat, once you start, there's no stopping. Furthermore, you must endure this pain for seven full days. Every day, I will burn the poison and cleanse your bones like this."

Xue Ming's voice emanated from the brocade couch, sounding like the King of Hell pronouncing a verdict. Situ Yaorao gulped and steadied her steps. "You don't have to scare me. Now that I've made up my mind, I won't back down."

Xue Ming smiled happily after hearing what Situ Yaorao said. He looked at Situ Yaorao and blew on the dagger, saying, "That's right. If you want to live, you must endure all kinds of pain. If you haven't experienced any pain at all, how can you live freely? This moonlight poison is incurable. If you want to live freely, this little pain is nothing to worry about. Take off your clothes and turn around." The man's words startled Situ Yaorao, but she soon felt relieved.

For a modern person with avant-garde thinking, Situ Yaorao didn't need to prepare herself mentally. She half-dressed and sat on the ground. Xue Ming looked at Situ Yaorao's back. In a flash, he was in front of her, the dagger in his hand radiating a faint warmth. Without hesitation, he slashed down her shoulder.

Although she was ready, the sudden pain made Situ Yaorao almost cry out. However, she held it back for just a second. Situ Yaorao gritted her teeth and said, "Faster."

Xue Ming's movements quickened when he heard this. When the bone in his shoulder was exposed, he grabbed the liquor and poured it down hard. Situ Yaorao felt a blackout before her eyes, and the excruciating pain nearly made her faint.

"If you faint, all your efforts will be wasted." Xue Ming's voice, like the devil's temptation, sounded coldly beside him. Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao quickly perked up and did not dare to be negligent.

At this time, Situ Yaorao's voice had become hoarse: "You...speed up."

"Ha!" Xue Ming chuckled, watching the liquor flow down her spine. Satisfied, he poured some more. He then repeated the process on her right shoulder. Situ Yaorao repeatedly wanted to scream, but held back for fear of disturbing Xue Ming. By the time Xue Ming finished, Situ Yaorao's face had completely drained of color. Sweat dripped onto the ground like rain.

Xue Ming said nothing as he wrapped the gauze beside her around him. After wrapping it around her, he said, "This is wine from the Snow Mountain. It's made with thousand-year-old snow lotus. It's fragrant and nourishing. If you get a wound, it will stop bleeding quickly. Over the next few days, I'm going to make sixteen cuts on your body, making sure you don't use any medicine to heal your wounds. On the seventh day, I'll burn the poison away. After all this, your poison won't recur so often, and you'll be no different from a normal person. Of course, for your own good, it's best to find healing herbs as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you relapse, even a god won't be able to save you."

At this moment, Situ Yaorao had no strength left due to the severe pain. The only thing that kept her going was the will to not faint.

After hearing the man's instructions, she felt relieved. Unable to hold back any longer, she fainted. Xue Ming hadn't expected Situ Yaorao to faint so suddenly and silently. He instinctively caught her. Seeing the woman's pale face and the sweat dripping down her cheeks, his heart, which had never felt compassion before, was moved for the first time.

He carried her to the couch, half resting his chin on her back, and looked at Situ Yaorao with interest.

Many people came to him for treatment, including many women. But far fewer were prettier than she. And she was the first one who refused to cry or scream. Even grown men wouldn't dare to endure the burning pain, yet she managed to endure it. It was quite interesting.

Over the years, those people have always tried to force him to treat people, but he has never been enthusiastic about it. But now, for the first time, he has developed a little interest in treating illnesses.

Perhaps, there are many people in this world who are like this princess and who are willing to do anything to survive?

Thinking about this, Xue Ming put the red fox polo shirt he usually wore on the woman and turned to walk out of the room.

Tantai Yunyi had been waiting outside, and because he hadn't heard any sound, he was extremely worried. Seeing that it was Xueming who came out, he was relieved: "Is she okay?"

"Of course there's nothing wrong. However, this is the first time I've seen such a strong woman. She's worthy of being the one that Tan Tai Wu Yue likes." Xue Ming praised.

Speaking of Tan Tai Wu Yue, Xue Ming said, "Now, is it time for me to meet Tan Tai Wu Yue? Although I came to the Snow Mountain for sightseeing, I have a time limit. If I leave for too long, I'm afraid the Snow Mountain will be in chaos again."

"Why do you have to see him?" Tantai Yunyi frowned. He still had some distrust of Xue Ming, even though inviting Xue Ming here was his original idea.

But every time he saw Xue Ming, he would have an inexplicable sense of crisis.

"Since he has lost his memory, he should restore it. Otherwise, how can he be worthy of such an outstanding princess?" Xue Ming was in a good mood at the moment and started telling jokes.

Seeing that he was really determined, Tantai Yunyi said, "He's at the City Lord's Mansion. If you really want to see him, I'm afraid now is the only time."

"Oh? Why?"

"Just now, my subordinates reported that the goddess and the son of the god seemed to have something to do and left in a hurry. There is no one else in the City Lord's Mansion at this time."

"Then let's go. The Crown Princess won't wake up for a while," Xue Ming said. Tan Tai Yun Yi thought for a moment before nodding, "Alright." With that, the two of them left together.

What would happen if a person lost his memory?

Inside the City Lord's Mansion, a man sat in a huge courtyard. The courtyard was empty, with only the bright moon in the sky and the wine glass in front of him as his companion. Tan Tai Wu Yue didn't know how many times he had had such thoughts.

Without his memories, living was worse than death. Qian Shui'er had been completely obedient to him these past few days, but no matter what, there was always a voice in his heart telling him that he couldn't accept it.

Tantai Wuyue didn't know if a person's temperament would change after losing their memory. But for some reason, he felt that the person he remembered wasn't like this. He always obeyed others and let them control him. Everything he saw now made him feel like he was no longer himself.

This feeling is very bad.

It was as if the world was so vast, but there was no place for him to stay, and no one could acknowledge his existence.

This feeling had only intensified since the day the woman had barged in. As she left in disappointment, a voice in his heart clamored, "Don't let her leave. Keep her." However, he could do nothing. The only thing he could do was stay here and comfort Qian Shui'er.

Although I don't know what she wants to use him for, at least she can treat the people in this city, which makes her a good chess piece. Thinking of this, a gleam of light flashed in Tantai Wuyue's eyes!
