In order to survive, she forced herself to have a happy ending with the yandere villain.

"crunch"

The man grinding the medicine powder spoke with a questioning tone:

What kind of ointment is it?

"I don't know either, but I find it strange that there is a faint fragrance inside. Please take a look, sir."

The guard handed over a silver box of ointment.

"... "

Xie Zhentian stopped what he was doing. The moment the guard took out the medicine box, he could feel a comforting fragrance in the air, which seemed somewhat familiar.

He calmly took the ointment, and with a gentle twist, the silver box opened.

Inside lay a pink plaster, its fragrance filling the air and making the entire space even more fragrant.

"This is…"

A woman's name suddenly flashed through Xie Zhentian's mind, and his eyes brightened slightly.

Lu Zhifu?

When Xie Zhentian was young, he was just a young man who followed his strict master to wander the world.

He has loved researching medicines since he was a child and has experienced a lot.

People in the martial arts world love to buy poison from him. He is also quite talented in the research and development of poisons, and he acts as a drug dealer in the martial arts world.

People in the martial arts world like to buy his poisons to harm others in the martial arts world; no matter how high the price he sells them for, they still need them.

People in the martial arts world only know that there is a poison dealer, but they do not investigate the person who poisoned him, so he has become a cancer in the martial arts world.

If you are discovered by people in the martial arts world while walking on the street, you will be a rat that everyone wants to kill.

But he didn't take it seriously, only feeling that it was the fear and trust that people in the martial arts world had in his poison, and that it was his pride.

When he turned sixteen, his master gave him a book called "Strange Tales and Medicines of the World" before he passed away.

This is the culmination of Master Bai's life's work, containing records of many rare and precious medicines.

He then carried his master's painstaking efforts and traveled the entire martial arts world, collecting all the rare and precious medicines described in the books.

When he turned twenty-one, he turned to the last page and was stunned by what he saw.

What intrigued him most about the entire book was the last page, which contained human blood.

In the books that Master Bai kept during his more than eighty years of life, there was once a record of a person.

"This person's blood can be used as medicine to cure all diseases. This blood is extremely fragrant, and its aroma can make people feel comfortable. Drinking it can bring people back from the dead. His name is unknown. He is a single person who has inherited the bloodline, and it is difficult to trace his whereabouts."

“Is it really that magical?”

Xie Zhentian found it hard to believe. If such a person really existed, could the blood in his body be an antidote for the most poisonous drug in the world that he proudly developed?

This led him to start having crazy ideas.

He wanted to carry on his master's obsession and find this miraculous blood-blooded person before he died.

So he inquired about the situation in the martial arts world, but unfortunately, after five years of searching, he still hadn't found such a magical person.

He frantically developed poisons, but there was no antidote; this was his greatest advantage.

But until one day...

A rumor suddenly appeared in the martial arts world.

Xie Zhentian, wearing a hoodie, was resting in the teahouse.

As I brought the teacup to my lips, I overheard the people at the next table discussing something:

"I heard that a serious plague struck a village in the suburbs two years ago, killing more than half of the villagers. But just recently, a woman from the martial arts world suddenly appeared in the village and cured the sick villagers in a single day."

"How is this possible? This is a plague, not just a minor injury. How could all the villagers be cured in a single day?"

"You wouldn't believe it, but I have a cousin who goes through that village to do business. Just the day before yesterday, he had to avoid that village, but yesterday he was allowed to enter. The villagers have returned to their old lives."

"How did that heroine save them?"

"My cousin went to ask them, and they heard that the female knight gave each of them a bowl of water to drink. The water had a faint sweetness, but also a rusty taste like blood. After drinking it, they felt much more energetic, and in less than a day, they all recovered. Their physical ailments also disappeared. It was truly miraculous."

"This can't be a story, can it? How is that possible? Would that female knight-errant really feed those villagers with her own blood? Besides, is human blood really that magical?"

“My cousin heard this with his own ears; he wouldn’t lie to me.”

"That means your cousin has gone mad; he's using stories from folk tales to fool people."

"Oh well! If you don't believe it, fine. Just treat it as entertainment. We ordinary folks don't care about this kind of stuff."

Xie Zhentian, who was listening nearby, was trembling as he gripped his water glass.

With a "bang," he quickly stepped forward and grabbed the chattering guest by the collar.

Excitedly asked:

"What's the name of that village you're talking about? Where is it?"

The customer, startled by being suddenly grabbed by the collar, stared at the man completely covered by a hoodie and stammered in alarm:

“It’s…it’s in Nanshu Village, just down the street in the suburbs.”

After asking the question, Xie Zhentian immediately tossed down a piece of silver as a reward and left the teahouse.

They mounted their horses and hurried over to Nanshu Village.

Unfortunately, he arrived too late.

The village has long been deserted.

There wasn't a single person in sight, and there seemed to be signs of odd jobs being done.

It seemed that someone had known before him that strange people had appeared in this village.

The villagers packed up and left early, disappearing without a trace, leaving only an empty village.

A biting north wind howled, and only one man stood in the village, looking dazed, his fists clenched, filled with resentment.

That's how he missed out on this woman for the first time.

Fortunately, he found some useful information.

In some villagers' houses, he smelled a faint fragrance emanating from the offering bowls, which seemed to be mixed with human blood.

Although it was already dried out, he could still smell it clearly with his sensitive nose.

For the first time, I realized that woman's blood was so sweet.

When it comes to medication, it will definitely be top-notch.

He carefully picked up the broken bowl and brought it back to his home in Anqi City, where it became a family heirloom.

His success in manufacturing pharmaceuticals and drugs attracted more buyers who valued authority above all else.

So he made an agreement with the old emperor that Anqi City would become his territory.

During his time in the mansion, he constantly sent out his guards to search for the woman's whereabouts.

until once.

Finally found some useful information.

He learned that the woman from the martial arts world was named Lu Zhifu.

She is the sole inheritor of the Lu family's blood medicine, and no one else in the entire Lu family has such unique blood.

But when this person was still young, the entire Lu family was unjustly executed.

No one survived. Perhaps at that time, Lu Zhifu was the only child who was secretly moved out and survived.

Because she was alive, selfish people in the martial arts world began to stir.

Even Xie Zhentian was one of them.

His only thought was to find that woman and make her his lifelong medicine patient.

His medicine will surely be unparalleled in the world, unmatched by anyone.

There was a wealthy merchant who auctioned off pills made with women's blood in the dark market, and that very night his entire family was massacred by a mysterious person.

And so, the woman's whereabouts disappeared from the martial arts world.

Later, Xie Zhentian gradually went mad. He always felt that the woman was hiding somewhere and never gave up the chance to find her.

Even a stunningly beautiful woman who appeared beside him became a blurry figure in his eyes.

The woman liked him and was willing to help him, so he made a deal with her.

"If you truly love me, then give up your health and your life for me."
