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

"Zhentian, who is that girl? Is she... that important to you?"

"... "

The man's eyes darkened, and he nodded in acknowledgment.

"Yes, she is a blood-poison person. Her blood can be used in medicine. If it is added to my medicine, it will surely make my poison famous throughout the world. So in the next few days, I must go out and find her before anyone else."

Blood Medicine Man?

After listening to him, Anlin understood some of the situation.

It turns out that Zhentian hadn't changed his mind; he was just busy with work.

But why do they all use the woman's blood as a medicinal ingredient? Isn't that very unfair to the woman?

For a moment, she felt sympathy for the woman.

Lying in the man's arms, she asked, puzzled:

"Zhentian, even if you do find that woman, will she agree to use her blood as a medicinal ingredient for you?"

"Hmph, you disagree? You have to agree. She was born as a Blood Medicine Person, so she should contribute herself in this way."

"!"

An Lin's body stiffened slightly, hearing Xie Zhentian utter such heartless words for the first time.

Is she really her husband, Xie Zhentian?

Hearing Xie Zhentian's words, she felt utterly ironic.

The girl was born a blood-medicine person and had no choice in the matter.

If you put yourself in her shoes, aren't you just like her?

She, too, had no choice and became a courtesan.

But Xie Zhentian's words were interpreted by her as others saying about her.

They say she's just a courtesan, and since they're all prostitutes, serving men is her duty, it's only natural.

What's the difference between what he said and this statement?

An Lin's face gradually turned pale, and she felt that the man beside her was a complete stranger.

If Xie Zhentian had said those words to her back then, she would have chosen death rather than come back with him.

She now desperately hopes that Xie Zhentian was just joking.

Anlin then offered a word of advice.

“Zhentian, I don’t want you to become the bad guy who forces that woman to give him blood.”

"... "

The man on the top of the table fell silent.

An Lin looked up and saw the man's eyes grow increasingly cold, his entire body radiating chill. His large hand gripped the woman's shoulder, and a bloodthirsty smile curled at the corner of his lips as he said menacingly:

"Anlin, do you think I'm a bad person?"

"... "

The woman was terrified by his sudden change, and her face turned pale.

With her pale lips pressed together, she boldly said:

"If Zhentian forces her, how is that any different from someone else forcing me? I believe you won't do that, right?"

"... "

The man didn't speak, his sharp gaze instantly shifting away, avoiding the woman's eyes.

This seems to confirm something.

An Lin felt a lump in her throat, her eyes darkened slightly, and her face looked haggard.

Disappointment filled her eyes.

That's when she began to realize that the man had changed, to the point that she hardly recognized him anymore...

Later, An Lin stopped contacting Xie Zhentian frequently and stopped interfering with his work.

Because she had a thorn in her heart, she was afraid of seeing a different Xie Zhentian again, afraid that she would suspect that he had changed his mind and feel sad.

So she locked herself in the courtyard.

For various reasons, Xie Zhentian had known Mo Jiang, a figure in the martial arts world, for many years.

When they met again in the martial arts world, Xie Zhentian invited Mo Jiang to visit the Xie residence.

That time, Mo Jiang accidentally took the wrong turn and wandered into the lady's courtyard, where he met An Lin for the first time.

Mo Jiang, with his high ponytail, is a spirited young man who also knows some medical skills. He met Xie Zhentian, a fellow healer, while traveling the martial arts world, and they became sworn brothers.

But he didn't know that Xie Zhentian had already become a completely different person.

The midday sun in autumn is not scorching.

The man walked into the courtyard and followed the straight path inside, where he found a fish pond.

And in the viewing pavilion above the fishpond, he met the woman who would capture his heart for the rest of his life.

A woman leaned slightly against the railing, her chin resting on her arm, her amber eyes fixed on the shimmering fishpond.

The lotus flowers in the fishpond are in full bloom, and fish can be seen swimming around.

The woman's long hair cascaded down to the water's surface, as if she were fishing and had poked her head out. She stared intently at the fish as she lazily sprinkled fish food into her hand.

Fish around the pond, attracted by the scent of food, happily swam over, wagging their tails, and then orderly bit the delicious bait that was scattered down.

The woman watched the fish in the pond so enthusiastically, which made her let out a joyful, bell-like sound.

The woman, with her fair complexion and delicate, beautiful features, was further enhanced by the shimmering light reflected in the rippling water, making her appear even more stunning and captivating.

Like a fairy descending to earth, the sight of this woman captivated Mo Jiang, who was watching from a distance, leaving an indelible mark on his mind. Every smile and gesture of hers was etched into his memory.

Seeing her so happy made me feel happy too.

Mo Jiang, young and impetuous, shamelessly went up to strike up a conversation.

He quietly walked up behind the woman, coughed a few times, and called out to her.

"Young lady, do you know how to get to the main hall?"

"!!"

The woman seemed startled by the sudden appearance of the man in her home. Her relaxed body became alert, and she stood up like a frightened deer, running to the other side and hiding behind a wooden post in the corridor.

Mo Jiang knew he had frightened her and wanted to slap himself, so he quickly explained:

"Young lady, don't be afraid. I'm not a bad person..."

After saying that, Mo Jiang realized that what he said made him sound like a bad guy.

Do bad people have the word "bad person" written on their faces?

Of course not.

His statement is like saying, "The more you explain, the less clear it becomes."

Mo Jiang slapped his mouth in frustration.

The woman hiding behind the wooden stake peeked out and looked at the seemingly kind man in front of her, asking him curiously.

"who are you?"

"!"

Mo Jiang looked up and his eyes met those of the woman.

At this moment, the woman opposite was hiding behind a wooden stake, with the sunlight, which was not blocked by the eaves, shining on half of her body.

She appeared exceptionally beautiful and stunning, with her front view being even more breathtaking than her side profile.

Mo Jiang was once again deeply attracted by the woman's stunning beauty.

He stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

The woman tilted her head in confusion and asked again.

"Young master? Did you just say you wanted to go to the main hall? I can have a maid take you there."

"Oh, my apologies. No rush. I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Mo Jiang, a guest of the Xie family. May I ask who you are, young lady?"

He had never heard Xie Zhentian mention having a younger sister or any female relatives.

Could they also be guests of the Xie family?

If that's the case, I'll definitely ask Xie Zhentian to introduce him properly.

Mo Jiang's thoughts were very straightforward.

He took a liking to this girl and decided to try his best to pursue her.

If it succeeds, that would be the best outcome. Then he could go to her door to propose marriage and bring her back to the capital.

It's better to have a free-choice marriage than to be forced by his family to marry a rich girl he didn't even know after he returned to the capital.

Upon hearing his introduction, the woman opposite him gave him a polite smile.

"So you are Zhentian's guest. I am Zhentian's wife, Anlin."

"What!!"

Mo Jiang, who had been all smiles just moments before, froze upon hearing the woman's self-introduction, feeling as if struck by lightning.

Rumble!

His whole appearance was gray and gloomy.

What did he hear?

Is this woman Xie Zhentian's wife?

When did he get a wife, and why didn't he tell him?

And why, of all people, was it the first girl he ever fell in love with?

Good heavens, is this some kind of joke?

Mo Jiang laughed awkwardly, then asked incredulously:

"Girl, are you kidding? I've never heard Zhentian mention this before."

The woman didn't hear what he said, but she saw the person coming from behind him.

His amber eyes immediately lit up, and he exclaimed joyfully:

"Zhentian".

"Anlin."

Mo Jiang heard his brother's voice behind him, and then saw the woman in front of him rush past him and run to Xie Zhentian. She looked at him with expectant and affectionate eyes.

"Zhentian, what brings you here?"

"Yes, I came to find Brother Mo. Since he hadn't returned for a long time, I guessed he must have gotten lost, so I came to look for him."

"Ok."

The woman pursed her red lips slightly, looking a little disappointed, then raised her eyes and smiled.

"Since your guests are here, Anlin will not disturb you any longer."

"Anlin, you're such a good girl!"

"... "

The man spoke as if he were comforting a pet, and reached out to stroke the woman's rosy cheeks.

The woman was also slightly taken aback, and awkwardly shifted her body slightly to the side, reminding him:

"Go quickly, your guests are waiting."

"Ah."

Mo Jiang, who had just been fed a huge mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.
