He's spoiled rotten; that wolf cub knows how to flirt and be affectionate.

The Hundred Flowers Palace is one of the most powerful forces after the four major sects, and it is inhabited only by women, with no men.

The men in the palace had only two uses.

Sleeping and making medicine.

The Hundred Flowers Palace has always been unrestrained and bold. The women there are not only beautiful but also very open-minded, and they will sleep with anyone they like.

Like Mingyue Valley, they were skilled in medicine making and poison making, but what they produced were all low-grade products. They only gained a decent status by relying on the power of Tianmen after helping Tianmen win the championship.

There was no one who could cure Yin Yuanqing's poison. Feng Yunnan and Yin Tiancang were already at odds, so Yin Tiancang had no choice but to turn to Baihua Palace as a last resort.

No matter how reckless the people of Baihua Palace are, they wouldn't dare to touch their sugar daddy's son.

Unexpectedly, they actually found a solution.

We just need to take Yin Yuanqing back to Baihua Palace for treatment.

Yin Tiancang openly and subtly threatened Baihua Palace not to do anything unpleasant, and agreed to let them take Yin Yuanqing away.

Lu Baiyu bought snow lotus wine from Zuixianlou, intending to take it back for Qu Yi to try. When he paid the bill, he noticed an unpleasant gaze, but when he looked over, he didn't see anything and assumed it was just his imagination.

However, the wine he bought was of no use, and he was extremely frustrated. He casually put the wine, which was worth a fortune, aside and stared at the dark night, lost in thought.

When Qu Yi arrived and saw his expression, she asked, "Why do you have that expression?"

Lu Baiyu turned to look at her: "Thinking about Senior Sister."

Qu Yi: "Why are you thinking about me? I'm so close. If you're going to think about me, you should think about something further ahead."

Lu Baiyu stared at her.

Isn't she far enough away?

It was already very far away, so far that he couldn't even reach it with his hand.

These past few days, his senior sister's attitude seemed the same as when she came out of the valley, but he could sense that something was still different.

A thin veil that he could neither see nor touch, yet which made him particularly irritable.

He exerted great willpower to suppress his tyranny and to remain calm and normal.

Qu Yi took his pulse as usual, and everything was fine, with nothing unusual.

She got up to leave, but he grabbed her wrist.

Qu Yi looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Does Senior Sister want to heal me?"

"It's very challenging, and I really want to give it a try."

"Then why don't you give me the medicine?"

"It's harmful to your health; let's find a definite solution first."

Lu Baiyu pulled hard, forcing Qu Yi to lean forward, and the two instantly closed the distance between them.

"My senior sister cares about me, right?"

Lu Baiyu stared into her eyes, his gaze sharp, trying to see through the emotions hidden deep within them.

He rarely showed such a strong side, which startled Qu Yi.

"I should care about you."

"Why?"

"You are my junior brother, and I promised Master I would take good care of you."

"Yeah……"

Lu Baiyu spoke in a low, gloomy tone, and tightened his grip on her wrist slightly, as if he wanted to break her.

Senior sister, you have no idea how much I long to keep you by my side, so that you can't go anywhere else, so that you can only see me.

I wish your joys and sorrows, your happiness and sadness, were all because of me.

Qu Yi clearly sensed that something was wrong with him, and frowned slightly: "Lu Baiyu."

The voice seemed to strike him like a ton of bricks. His eyes went from dark to clear in an instant. He looked up at her again and said, "Is that all?"

"What on earth are you going to say?"

"It's nothing, Senior Sister, you should go and rest."

Lu Baiyu released his hand, revealing his usual smile.

Qu Yi looked at him for a while, then turned and left.

The door closed, leaving only Lu Baiyu in the room.

The candle burned to his left, the wick crackling slightly from the heat.

Lu Baiyu suddenly relaxed, lazily resting his right cheek on his hand. In the candlelight, his left cheek showed a clear look of determination, and his thin lips were slightly upturned.

Junior brother?

Ha, how could he be satisfied with such a superficial relationship?
