The female lead thought she had a "proud and arrogant" character script.

Luo Qingcheng was in a good mood after a good night's sleep.

I firmly believe that staying in bed is the happiest thing in the world.

"Miss, it's time to get up."

Hongdou came to wake her up early in the morning.

Upon hearing Hongdou's voice, just like the previous days, she buried her face completely in the fragrant, soft bedding and remained motionless.

Play dead.

I thought Hongdou would give up if she didn't hear a response from her, just like before.

did not expect--

"Bang!" The door was pushed open forcefully by Hongdou.

Luo Qingcheng stuck his head out and glanced at the broken door latch on the ground.

She looked at Hongdou in horror.

The red bean remained unmoved.

He said expressionlessly, "Miss, you've been lying in this room for ten days."

Luo Qingcheng curled his lip, "So what? I like this kind of life of eating and waiting to die."

"You guys can go and have fun in the city by yourselves, don't worry about me."

Don't think she doesn't know; Li Zhiming has taken Hongdou out to buy a lot of things during this time.

"But Miss, do you remember what day it is today?"

Luo Qingcheng: ...

"Is this our 100-day anniversary?"

But she hasn't been here for that long, has she?

Red beans and black face.

Luo Qingcheng had no choice but to continue guessing.

"A one-month anniversary?"

"Your birthday?"

……

Frustrated and angry, she exclaimed, "What day is it?!"

Red Bean remained silent.

"Miss, today is the start of the Sword Inquiry Sect's recruitment ceremony! Do you remember why we're here?"

"I thought it was something serious, but it doesn't matter."

She turned over.

The system couldn't stand it anymore.

[Do you still remember why you came from another time?]

[I remember, wasn't it to make me the Phoenix Overlord?]

My good mood was ruined, and I clicked my tongue in annoyance.

Hongdou stood by the bed, unsure of what to do, sensing that something was off about Luo Qingcheng, who seemed uninterested in everything.

Seeing Luo Qingcheng's back as he lay on the bed, Hongdou felt a lump in her throat.

At this moment--

Hongdou heard Li Zhiming's voice in her ear.

"Miss Hongdou, please come to the main hall. I may know the reason for Miss Luo's unusual behavior."

Seeing that Luo Qingcheng remained unmoved, Hongdou held back her tears and walked out of the room.

Luo Qingcheng said lazily, "Remember to close the door."

Hongdou paused, tears welling in her eyes finally falling. She choked out a sob, then walked out, leaving the door slightly ajar.

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingcheng initially wanted to offer comfort, but then changed his mind.

Too much trouble, never mind.

……

Hongdou composed herself and went to the main hall, where Li Zhiming was standing in the center, waiting for her.

Seeing that Hongdou's eyelids were swollen and that her eyes still had some redness, I knew she had been crying again.

For the past ten days, Luo Qingcheng has been in poor condition, lying motionless in his room and even refusing to go out for meals.

Every time Hongdou went to call her, she couldn't even see Luo Qingcheng.

She couldn't understand how Luo Qingcheng could have changed so drastically overnight.

Each time, all I could do was helplessly shed tears.

After asking several times, Li Zhiming only received the reply "it's nothing," so he could only pretend he didn't see it.

He sought out Hongdou because of this matter.

Li Zhiming said, "Miss Hongdou, Miss Luo has been acting strangely these past few days, it's probably because she's been drugged."

Red Bean was shocked: "What medicine?!"

Before receiving an answer, he asked with concern, "Is Miss alright now?"

Li Zhiming lowered his head, somewhat ashamed, "Speaking of which, it's all my fault. If I'm not mistaken, Miss Luo's current condition is caused by the Divine Power Pill that I failed to refine ten days ago."

He was afraid of the demons.

When Luo Qingcheng deceived him by claiming to be a ghost and used this to threaten him into saving Hongdou, Li Zhiming didn't show it on his face, but in reality, he couldn't control his slightly trembling body.

Only when Luo Qingcheng revealed himself did he let go of his fear.

Then he wondered if he could overcome this weakness by seeing the demon race.

So after Hongdou and Luo Qingcheng recovered, he continued to research the Divine Power Pill.

I want to have eyes that can see the demons.

But it always fails.

"After the failure to refine the Divine Power Pill that day, the alchemy room was destroyed, and the failed pills turned into dust and disappeared into the air. I didn't pay any attention to it until I noticed that the animals kept in the small building have been looking lazy lately, just like Miss Luo."

He tested one of the medicinal ingredients in the prescription and found it had a similar effect.

red beans:……

"Then why are Young Master Li and this servant unharmed?"

Li Zhiming explained, "It might be because we are both practitioners."

Oh.

Li Zhiming bowed, "I'm very sorry for causing such trouble to the two ladies. I will take full responsibility!"

The straightforward Hongdou was unwilling to say things like "It's not Li Gongzi's fault, it was an accident you didn't want" to appease him.

They didn't directly hit Li Zhiming twice, already considering the kindness he had shown in taking care of the young lady during this time.

Now she only cares about one thing.

"Today is the start of the admissions ceremony, is it too late?"

"In order not to delay Miss Luo, I would like to give her a pill I once refined called 'Divine Recovery Pill', which can temporarily help Miss Luo to cheer up and participate in the assessment."

"Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and give it to me!" Hongdou urged.

Li Zhiming hurriedly took out a blue porcelain bottle from his pocket and handed it to Hongdou. Before he could explain the precautions, Hongdou took the bottle and used her speed-running technique to rush out.

"Hey—" Li Zhiming reached out his hand, trying to stop Hongdou.

But the red bean ran too fast, and he couldn't catch it.

After thinking it over carefully, Li Zhiming muttered to himself, "I shouldn't have eaten too much... right?"

……

With a "bang!", Luo Qingcheng's door was pushed open again by Hongdou.

Hongdou walked to the bedside and said seriously, "Miss, do you know? You're sick."

Luo Qingcheng squinted.

This little maid has grown bolder after not seeing her for a few days; she actually dared to scold her?

But pursuing the matter would be too troublesome, so she casually asked, "Do you have medicine?"

Preparing to end the conversation.

Unexpectedly, Hongdou pulled out a porcelain bottle and nodded seriously, "Miss, I have one! I'll come and save you right now!"

He then bent down and aimed the mouth of the porcelain bottle at Luo Qingcheng's mouth, forcefully stuffing it in.

Caught completely off guard, Luo Qingcheng swallowed the entire bottle of pills in one gulp.

Hongdou lifted the bottle, shook it, and after hearing no sound, tossed the porcelain bottle aside.

"Cough! Cough!" Caught off guard, Luo Qingcheng choked nearly to death from the round pills stuffed into his throat.

Her face turned red.

"Cough! Red Bean! Cough! You're coughing cough! You're attempting murder!"

Hongdou said innocently, "Miss, I'm so heartbroken that you're saying that about me."

Luo Qingcheng finally calmed down.

He sat up abruptly!

Pointing at the red bean, "You're clearly taking revenge on purpose!"

Hongdou smiled insincerely, "Miss, is there anything you need me to retaliate against?"

Luo Qingcheng felt guilty when she recalled her attitude towards Hongdou these past few days.

only--

yeah?

Why do I suddenly feel more energetic?

I even want to run outside right now and then.

Red Bean just smiled and remained silent.

Luo Qingcheng suddenly felt very thirsty, and his body began to feel hot.

She jumped out of bed.

I rushed to the table, picked up the teapot, and poured the cold tea into the matching teacup. After drinking several cups, I realized that the teacup was too small, and each cup only held about half a sip, which was not enough to relieve the heat rising from my body.

Luo Qingcheng simply threw away the teacup, pointed the spout at his mouth, opened it, and started pouring!

After finishing the entire pot of tea, Luo Qingcheng wiped the tea that had splashed onto his face with his sleeve.

Burped.

She ate her fill with a whole bottle of pills and a whole pot of water.

"Miss……"

I have never seen Luo Qingcheng so bold and unrestrained.

Hongdou was dumbfounded.

When Luo Qingcheng heard her voice, he turned around and Hongdou saw that her face was as red as a monkey's bottom.

She hesitated.

Luo Qingcheng, looking radiant, said, "Hongdou, what are you dawdling for? Didn't we say today is the start of the admissions ceremony? Aren't you going to hurry up and get ready to leave?"

It was clearly because Luo Qingcheng hadn't wanted to get up that they hadn't set off yet!

Being falsely accused, Hongdou laughed in anger.

She didn't plan to remind Luo Qingcheng anymore.

"Let's go, Miss, I'm ready."

Luo Qingcheng turned and strode towards the door.

For the first time in ten days, Luo Qingcheng went out and was blinded by a bright light. He raised his hand to shield himself.

He sighed.

The morning sunlight is truly invigorating.
