The villain, Xiao Nanliang, caused the female lead excruciating pain.

Seeing Su Qi's anxious and fearful appearance, Ning Hongyu finally couldn't hold back anymore.

He walked over and gently pulled the person into his arms to comfort them.

"It's okay, don't worry, I'll protect you! If anyone dares to hurt you, then..."

She paused, her tone gradually turning cold.

"Let me go first!"

"what?"

Su Qi, who was still pretending to be pitiful, was a little confused and looked up blankly.

No, shouldn't you say that if anyone dares to hurt me, they'll have to step over your dead body first?

Why were you allowed to go first?

"Hehe, I just realized. Everything you said and did at the beginning was a way of using my suspicions against me, making me wary and afraid to torment you."

"Then you started using your usual tricks again, pretending to be pitiful and trying to make me feel sorry for you!"

"Do you really think I'm stupid enough to fall for your tricks again and again?"

As Ning Hongyu spoke, she pinched Su Qi's soft face hard.

"Ouch...it hurts..."

Su Qi's tears welled up instantly. He tried to struggle, but with his cultivation sealed by Mu Feier, he, who was only at the Nascent Soul stage, was clearly no match for Ning Hongyu, who was already at the Tribulation Transcending stage.

"You can't even bear this little bit of pain?" Ning Hongyu gritted her teeth. "Do you know how much it hurts me to be deceived by you?"

Her voice suddenly rose in pitch as she grabbed Su Qi by the neck and slammed him onto the tea table.

The tea set on the table fell to the ground with a clattering sound, and the tea spilled onto the floor.

"Cough cough...I'm...I'm sorry..."

Su Qi struggled to breathe, grabbing her hand and trying to pry it open.

"A verbal apology isn't enough? You have to do something practical, right?"

Ning Hongyu let go of her hand and flung it away.

Su Qi fell to the ground, panting heavily. After catching her breath, she looked up with slightly red eyes and asked in a somewhat aggrieved tone.

"What do you want?"

Ning Hongyu smiled and squatted down, not answering but asking with a curious expression.

"What poison did Mu Feier give you?"

"The extreme cold poison, the ten-thousand-year-old ice marrow!" Su Qi lowered his eyes and answered truthfully, guessing what Ning Hongyu wanted to do, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

"Sister, please, don't..."

"So you guessed it. But Mu Fei'er has already given you the precious ten-thousand-year-old ice marrow, so I, who also love you deeply, have no reason to fall behind, right?"

As Ning Hongyu spoke, she pulled out a Gu worm from somewhere with her backhand.

"This is a love curse that I obtained by chance. Once a person is afflicted by this curse develops feelings or desires for another person, they will suffer the torment of having their heart devoured by ten thousand insects."

Fear welled up uncontrollably in Su Qi's eyes. He covered his mouth tightly, afraid that Ning Hongyu would stuff the worm into his mouth.

Tears welled in his eyes as he shook his head frantically.

"Don't you like attracting attention? You won't anymore. Once you take this poison, you can only fall in love with me!"

A sickly glint flashed in Ning Hongyu's eyes. Seeing Su Qi cover her mouth, she reached out and grabbed that slender neck once again.

Unable to breathe, Su Qi's face grew increasingly red. Finally, he couldn't hold on any longer and let go, gasping for air.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ning Hongyu suddenly shoved the Gu worm into his mouth.

To prevent him from vomiting, Ning Hongyu covered his mouth tightly with her hand.

She only let go when she saw Su Qi unable to hold it in any longer, his eyes gradually rolling back and his throat bobbing.

"Ahem... vomit..."

Upon regaining his freedom, Su Qi coughed dryly, his eyes filled with terror. He quickly moved away from the demon before him, retreating to a corner and leaning against the wall as he began to retch.

Seeing his pained expression, Ning Hongyu felt a pang of pity and went over to gently pat his back to help him catch his breath, speaking with a slightly reproachful tone.

Why did you lie to your sister? Once is one thing, but you kept doing it again and again. I did this to keep you by my side.

"Get away!" Su Qi recovered and shoved her away violently, his eyes red and filled with unbearable pain: "Waaah... Why did you do this to me? Everything I did was to protect you all!!!"

He seemed to have collapsed, retreating to a corner and curling up in a ball, sobbing uncontrollably, staring at Ning Hongyu with his bloodshot eyes.

"Waaah... If it weren't for me, you'd probably just be another woman in Ye Feng's harem, someone he can play with at will! I'm the one who saved you from being a mere appendage, so why are you torturing me like this?"

Seeing Su Qi crying, Ning Hongyu touched her own face and moved closer again.

"Baby, don't you understand my feelings? I just love you so much!"

She reached out to try and hug the person crying in front of her.

"Get out of my way! Even if I die, I will never love you!" Su Qi roared hoarsely, his voice full of ruthlessness. With a slap, he landed a slap on Ning Hongyu's face.

Ning Hongyu turned her head slightly, reached out and touched the spot where she had been hit, her eyes now icy cold as she looked back.

Suddenly, she reached out and grabbed Su Qi's wrist, applying slight pressure. Only when she saw the pained expression on his tear-streaked face did she speak.

"If you don't love me, who do you want to love?"

"I'll love you no matter who I love!" Su Qi stood out with unwavering resolve!

Upon hearing this, Ning Hongyu smiled, her lowered eyes unfathomable.

While Su Qi was still trying to figure out what she was doing, she stood up and walked out of the room without looking back.

The moment the door closed, Su Qi's pained expression vanished, and he scratched his head in distress.

Damn it, I miscalculated. Ning Hongyu has probably turned into a yandere.

He only lied to her twice, does that make him a yandere?

Before Su Qi could come up with a solution, the door opened again. This time, it wasn't Ning Hongyu who entered, but a group of sexy dancers.

Ning Hongyu was the last to enter, and she looked at Su Qi with a meaningful gaze.

"Don't beg me later!"

After saying that, she raised her hand and clapped.

Under Su Qi's questioning gaze, the group of dancers began to dance gracefully.

They gradually approached, performing various alluring and seductive dance moves towards Su Qi, and a series of enticing fragrances wafted through the air.

What man could stand that?

Su Qi suddenly realized why capitalists in his previous life loved to form song and dance troupes. Who wouldn't be confused by these little devils?

Then, the next second, his heart clenched, and a piercing pain surged through him.

This is……

Su Qi quickly realized that the love potion had taken effect.

"Baby, is it pretty?"

Ning Hongyu sat in the back, watching with a smile.

At that moment, Su Qi understood the woman's sinister intentions.

Cold sweat beaded on his forehead. He quickly sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and focused his mind, which relieved the pain that was gnawing at his heart a little.

Just as Su Qi breathed a sigh of relief, Ning Hongyu's voice rang out again.

"The customer seems very dissatisfied. Shouldn't we step up our efforts?"

Upon hearing the command, all the dancers pressed themselves against Su Qi, and as they danced gracefully, they began to engage in ambiguous physical contact with him.

"Baby, why won't you open your eyes and look at us?"

"Is your dance beautiful, sister? This dress is a bit in the way, could you help me take it off?"

"Their back is sore from all the jumping, can you rub it for them?"

A group of beautiful women took turns whispering suggestive words into Su Qi's ear while breathing hot air into him.

Which man isn't a bit confused?

As expected, that excruciating pain returned.
