Best friends dressed up in ancient times to become mistresses? You run, I run too!

The dark clouds dissipated, and the east gradually brightened.

Despite the day's exhaustion, Liu Zhiyi still couldn't sleep soundly at night, fearing something might happen. She remained half-asleep until the next day.

Today is a beautiful sunny day.

Golden sunlight streamed in through the narrow opening, a few rays inadvertently illuminating her porcelain-white face, casting a soft halo over her fair complexion.

Liu Zhiyi half-opened her eyes.

With a soft moan, she stretched and was about to get up when she was startled by the handsome face above her and screamed.

"what--"

"You, you, how could you..."

The man gave a faint smile, but his eyes were icy cold. He leaned forward, his cold breath brushing against Liu Zhiyi's earlobe, causing her to frown uncomfortably.

"What, are you scared?"

Liu Zhiyi felt enveloped by the man's aura. Her fingers, which were propped up on the hay, curled slightly. Her bright almond-shaped eyes blinked as she stared at him warily.

Lean back and try to create some distance between yourself and him.

The man noticed her subtle movements, and the coldness in his eyes became even more pronounced, as if covered by a thin layer of ice.

As dawn broke, dappled shadows of the trees danced and swayed between the two, flickering like the beating hearts in their chests.

"say--"

The man roared angrily, clearly very bothered by her previous actions.

But what did she do wrong? She was just retaliating in kind, trying to protect herself. What did she do wrong?

"what do you want?"

The woman's face was cold and aloof. She raised her chin arrogantly and looked at Pei Yun Chu with a distant gaze.

That indifferent gaze almost made him lose control of his anger. Veins bulged on Pei Yun Chu's forehead as he gripped the woman's neck tightly, his eyes bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth, saying...

"Liu Zhiyi, is your heart made of stone?"

"Do you know how I survived the three years you faked your death?"

"I can't sleep every night, all I can think about is your beautiful face. I can't forget your every glance and smile."

"Do you know how sad I was during that period? I almost died."

Pei Yun Chu was getting excited and didn't notice that Liu Zhi Yi, who always kept her eyes downcast, had a thin silver needle between her fingers.

Just as he was about to continue his accusations, the woman suddenly looked up, her face resolute as she prepared to pierce his neck with a silver needle.

However, this time, he easily stopped it with a swift chop to the neck.

Pei Yun Chu's originally injured peach blossom eyes gradually hardened with a layer of ice. Just as she was about to get angry, she heard a rapid whistling sound from the other side of her ear.

Pei Yun Chu didn't even lift her hand; she simply reached out to block it again.

Liu Zhiyi made a series of moves, but they were all neutralized. On the last occasion, the man was furious and grabbed her wrist, squeezing it hard.

Liu Zhiyi winced in pain, letting out a muffled groan. She released the force in her hand, and the silver needle between her fingers fell to the ground with a "clink," making a soft clattering sound.

Pei Yun Chu trembled with anger and threw Liu Zhi Yi to the ground.

He stood up, looking down at her with a sinister gaze, like a sharp knife that could kill without a trace.

He sneered,

"Since you're so stubborn, then don't blame me. Xiaoyi, you forced me into this."

Liu Zhiyi felt uneasy.

Instinctively bracing himself against the ground, he backed away. "Pei Yun Chu, what do you want to do?"

"What am I going to do? I'm going to mess with you, of course!"

"Little Yi, you're still young and don't understand things. It's understandable that you were deceived by that old man surnamed Song."

I don't blame you. I only blame myself for not protecting you properly, letting that cunning old man take advantage of you, deceiving you with your body and your innocent heart.

"But don't worry, I'll show you the truth."

"As long as we're together, I can show you what it's really like to be a woman."

"I'm sure that once you've experienced it, you'll understand who is worthy of being your man and who can truly bring you happiness. Xiaoyi, trust me."

Liu Zhiyi felt a chill run down her spine.

I tied him up before because I was being petty and thought I could get away with it. I never imagined he would be so shameless and disgusting.

Liu Zhiyi could hardly believe that she had ever had feelings for such a person before.

But she can't beat him now, so she has to deal with him passively.

"Pei Yun Chu, wake up! Song Han Chuan and I consummated our marriage three years ago. Are you really willing to marry a woman who has lost her virginity and share a wife with another man?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Yun Chu's face turned extremely ugly, and her eyes became terrifying.

But in an instant, he suppressed all his anger and burst into laughter as if he had heard the funniest joke.

"Consummate the marriage? Hahaha, Xiao Yi, don't joke around. How can a eunuch consummate the marriage?"

"He doesn't even have any offspring, so what's the point of consummating the marriage? What can he do besides smear your face with saliva?"

Pei Yun Chu couldn't hide her smugness.

She thought to herself that Xiaoyi was too naive and didn't understand anything about the relationship between men and women, which was why she foolishly thought that she and Song Hanchuan had already consummated their marriage.

But then it suddenly occurred to me that the woman I had been longing for for so long, whom I had never even touched, had once moaned softly in someone else's arms.

Even though they didn't reach the crucial step, her body had indeed been touched by Song Hanchuan.

Thinking of this, Pei Yun Chu felt a sharp pain in her chest.

He secretly told himself that he would tear Song Hanchuan to pieces to avenge the loss of his wife.

No, not enough.

He'll chop off whichever hand touched it and feed that hand to the stray dogs on the street.

Pei Yun Chu thought with a gloomy expression. Liu Zhi Yi found an opening, did a somersault, and as she got up quickly, she kicked Pei Yun Chu hard in the groin.

The man was so angry that he wasn't paying attention and she kicked him squarely.

Her beautiful eyes instantly turned bloodshot, her face flushed red, and she let out a muffled groan, covering her lower body with her hands before collapsing straight to the ground.

Hot sweat rolled down his forehead in large drops, and he rolled on the ground in pain, which showed how much force Liu Zhiyi had used in that kick.

She truly disregarded their past affection and was determined to ruin him.

Pei Yun Chu felt a chill in her heart.

But he didn't have time to be angry, because Liu Zhiyi had already stumbled and run out of the cave while he was falling.

This land is not large, but it is not small either. If Liu Zhiyi runs away and hides, he may not be able to find her for a while.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, he needed to get things done with her as soon as possible.

Otherwise, given Song Hanchuan's current power, and with Jiang Xuanyan's help, it's very likely that he'll find this place very soon.
