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

I waited for a little while.

Don't misunderstand, Su Qi wasn't waiting for Ning Hongyu's medicine to take effect.

Instead, he was mentally preparing himself. There were more than a dozen guards, and although they were all low-level cultivators, he was still afraid.

Yes, that's it. Don't overthink it.

Inside the cell where she was being held, Ning Hongyu, whose cultivation had also been sealed, had already sensed that something was wrong. She was feeling somewhat dazed, her body was starting to feel hot, and she could barely stand.

My heart skipped a beat; I knew someone had drugged me, so I quickly covered my mouth and nose.

Extremely anxious and wanting to escape as soon as possible, I stumbled to the door, only to hear the evil laughter of the guards outside.

They are discussing who will be the first to try something new.

Ning Hongyu's face turned pale, and she frantically used things to prop up the door to prevent the animals outside from coming in.

However, because he wasn't quite clear-headed, he made a lot of noise, which was heard by those outside.

"Hehe, little beauty, don't panic, we're here."

Hearing the noise, the guard began trying to open the door.

"Hey, the door's blocked."

"Let's smash it all together, I can't wait any longer."

Seeing the noise of the door being slammed, Ning Hongyu's heart jumped, and she swayed as she tried to go over and brace the door.

thump...

But she was no match for the group of people outside; the door was kicked open and she was knocked to the ground.

"Hehehe...slurp, this is the first time I've ever seen such a beautiful woman."

A group of people rushed in, eager to get started.

"don't want……"

Ning Hongyu faced despair and struggled to get away.

"Hehehe, no one will care if you scream your lungs out."

Just as the person at the front was about to rush forward, a voice rang out from outside.

"Where are you, sister?"

Ning Hongyu, whose head was spinning and whose eyes were gradually losing focus, regained a sliver of clarity upon hearing this shout.

elder sister?

Could it be Feng Baobao?

Unsure if she was sure, Ning Hongyu thought she was hallucinating.

"elder sister!"

Another shout came from outside, confirming to Ning Hongyu that she wasn't hallucinating.

"Xiao Bao, I'm here!"

Shout it out loud!

"Damn it, who's ruining our plans? They're tired of living!"

The guard turned and left. Ning Hongyu, still half-asleep, heard screams coming from outside. A moment later, Su Qi ran in.

"elder sister!"

Seeing Ning Hongyu's face flushed red, Su Qi burst into tears and hugged her.

"Waaaaah, I've finally found you!"

Smelling the sweet fragrance emanating from Su Qi, Ning Hongyu felt her reason being completely eroded, and she forced herself to speak with the last bit of rationality.

"Quickly...take me away from here..."

"Sister, what's wrong? Don't scare me!"

Su Qi was so anxious she was almost crying: "Hang in there, sister, I'll take you to see a doctor right now."

He picked the person up and ran outside.

As they passed the room where Ye Feng was being held, they heard a thud.

Clearly, the Chosen One has successfully broken free of his shackles and, hearing the commotion outside, is attempting to force his way through the door.

"Brother Bai, is that you? I'm here!"

Ye Feng thought it was Bai Luo who had arrived.

Su Qi completely ignored him, feigning anxiety as he soared into the air on his sword.

Ning Hongyu's reason was gradually eroded, and she became increasingly restless on Su Qi's back.

"Sister, don't hug me so tightly, I can't breathe."

Su Qi appeared anxious, but remained remarkably calm inside.

His eyes quickly scanned the area, searching for a suitable spot.

Soon, he found an abandoned yard overgrown with weeds and plunged down into it.

He randomly chose a room, kicked open the long-sealed door, and tried to put Ning Hongyu on the bed.

"Sister, wait for me, I'll go find a doctor for you right now."

He was about to leave when Ning Hongyu clearly didn't want to let him go.

"Don't go~"

"Sister, what are you doing...?"

Su Qi's eyes showed terror.

The plot here is boring, so I'll skip the details...

……

Ning Hongyu awoke from her deep sleep two hours later.

Looking at the unfamiliar room and Su Qi sleeping soundly beside her, she gradually remembered what had happened.

What a bolt from the blue.

She gave her virginity to an idiot.

The problem is that there's no way to reason with her, because her memories tell her that Su Qi was the one who was forced.

boom……

Suddenly, the noise outside interrupted her thoughts.

"Search these empty houses thoroughly. That woman is poisoned; she can't have gone far."

Upon hearing this, Ning Hongyu's heart skipped a beat; she knew they were here to arrest her.

Without thinking too much, he quickly put on his clothes and shook the sleeping Su Qi awake.

"Xiao Bao, wake up! Those people are coming!"

"Hmm~"

Su Qi seemed exhausted. He slapped Ning Hongyu's hand away, turned over, and continued sleeping.

"Don't make a sound, I'm going to sleep a little longer."

Seeing this, Ning Hongyu became anxious and reached out to pinch and twist Su Qi's soft flesh.

"Ah... Master, please stop pinching me, waaaah... I'll never be lazy again."

Su Qi suddenly jumped out of bed, instinctively wanting to admit his mistake.

But when he realized that the person pinching him was Ning Hongyu, several question marks appeared in his mind. He rubbed the spot where he had been pinched and spoke with a wronged expression.

"Sister, why are you pinching me like Master did?"

Ning Hongyu blushed and avoided his gaze, picking up her clothes and throwing them at him.

"The people who were trying to capture my sister are coming after us. Quickly put on your clothes."

"The guy who's pursuing my older sister?"

Su Qi subconsciously took the clothes and put them on, a look of confusion flashing in his eyes.

The brain, forcibly turned on, is still in a state of shutdown.

But soon, he remembered.

"Are they those bad people?"

After getting dressed, he jumped off the bed, took out his shovel, and brandished it in a cute but fierce manner.

"How dare they bully my sister! I'll go bury them right now!"

But before he could take two steps, his legs gave way and he fell to the ground.

"Xiao Bao, what's wrong?"

Ning Hongyu was startled and quickly went over to help the person up.

"Why...why can't I muster any strength?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Hongyu immediately became anxious.

The pursuers are closing in now. If Su Qi falters at this moment, he'll be finished.

"How could this be?"

"Me...me too..."

Su Qi was about to say he didn't know, but then he seemed to remember something. He looked at the bed and then at Ning Hongyu, and then suddenly slammed his fist into his palm.

“I remember now, my master said that once my cultivation technique depletes my vital energy, I will temporarily lose my cultivation.”

"Temporarily? How long is 'temporarily'?"

Ning Hongyu was anxious and had already weighed the options in her mind.

If it takes too long, won't we be unable to use him to assassinate Ying Muxue?

In that case, continuing to have him around will only hold us back...

Should we abandon him here?

Su Qi seemed oblivious to Ning Hongyu's thoughts, tilting his head and pondering for a while.

"Hmm... Master seems to have said that it should take about ten days to recover."

In fact, Su Qi was just pretending to lose his cultivation.

He wanted to replace Ye Feng and Ning Hongyu in a story of sharing hardships together, but if he still possessed the Golden Core cultivation level, it would be difficult to share hardships together.

That's why he put on this show, making Ning Hongyu think that he had temporarily lost his cultivation.

Incidentally, I also set aside time to cultivate the transformation of corpse bones into marrow.
