Soft, warm, and fragrant; easily pushed over; the obsessive demon king becomes addicted to pampering

Si Hanye's expression turned slightly solemn as he looked up at the darkening sky.

If what Zhongda said is true, then the entire Li Clan is probably already under the control of the Demon Sect.

Waiting for the perfect opportunity, we will strike decisively and successfully usurp the throne!

How could the Luolan and Wu tribes possibly withstand the combined might of the Demon Sect and the Li tribe! At that time, the three major tribes of the Southern Ridge would completely submit to the Demon Sect, and the other forces of the Southern Ridge would surrender without a second thought! They would not dare to resist in the slightest.

With this in mind, and given that the Demon Sect, which simultaneously controls both the Northern Continent and the Southern Ridge, and maintains close ties with the major families of the Western Region, will likely target the Eastern Region, where the Demon Alliance is located, next...

"Bai Di, you haven't changed at all over the years...!"

The room was completely silent, save for the faint, flickering light that illuminated Bingyao's once beautiful but now deathly pale face. The blood-red, poisonous markings spreading across her face like a spiderweb exuded a chilling, eerie aura.

The reason why Si Hanye was confident in curing the Blood Tassel Needle poison that had baffled countless people was that the most important material used in making the Blood Tassel Needle was precisely his own blood.

Even so, completely curing the Blood Tassel Poison is by no means easy. It will not only take a long time, but also require Si Hanye to mobilize a massive amount of his demonic power to achieve his goal.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and a powerful and boundless demonic energy continuously gathered in his palm. As the demonic energy converged, a turquoise magic circle gradually took shape, like a mysterious full moon hanging high in the sky.

Above the magic circle, the light was dazzling, and ancient golden runes flowed around it.

The shimmering golden light enveloped Bingyao.

At this moment, the magic array was slowly absorbing the poison from the Blood Tassel Needles from her body. Although this process seemed slow, it was currently the most effective method of detoxification.

Moreover, this method ensures the safety of the detoxification process to the greatest extent possible, guaranteeing that Bingyao's body will not suffer any secondary damage.

After the formation was successfully completed, Si Hanye did not leave. He strolled over to a wooden chair and sat down.

From then until the toxins were completely eliminated, he had to continuously expend a large amount of demonic power and mental energy to control and stabilize the operation of the entire magic array. The slightest mistake would have unimaginable consequences...

Si Hanye took out a small object from his pocket, a pink and white ceramic rabbit pendant, and gently stroked it with his long, pale fingers.

A gentle, tender look welled up in his dark eyes, as if he could see the girl's bright and lively smile through the little rabbit pendant.

He murmured softly, "What are you doing right now?"

Night quietly falls, and the sky is like a huge black ribbon, dotted with sparse but bright stars!

At night, Guyuan Street presents a completely different scene, brightly lit and teeming with people. The sounds of vendors hawking their wares and haggling fill the air…

"Are you tired? How about we go eat first?" Jiang Chenyan looked at the still enthusiastic girl in front of him, a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, the girl turned around gracefully, her face beaming with a smile.

She walked backwards playfully! "Okay, I'm actually hungry! Let's go..."

Before Tong Guang could finish speaking, she suddenly felt a tightness around her waist, and she involuntarily lurched forward, crashing into a firm and warm embrace.

Jiang Chenyan moved lightly, leading her to avoid the vendors' carts that were rushing past.

This sudden turn of events left her momentarily stunned. She looked up, her eyes filled with surprise, and instinctively asked, "W-what happened?"

He lowered his head, meeting her clear yet puzzled eyes. Only then did Jiang Chenyan realize how ambiguous his actions in his haste had been.

The girl pressed herself against his chest, her small hands instinctively resting on his chest in her panic.

The figure in his arms was so delicate and alluring that Jiang Chenyan could clearly feel the warmth emanating from her body, as well as her unique, faint, sweet fragrance, lingering in his nostrils...

Her breathing became slightly labored, her heart pounded uncontrollably, and a blush crept onto her earlobes beneath her dark hair.

He hesitated for a moment, his fingers trembling slightly, before finally releasing his arm from her waist. Even though he desperately wanted to greedily hold the girl in his arms forever…

Calming himself down, he deliberately lowered his voice slightly, "You! Be careful... It would hurt so much if you bumped into something."

Behind the glasses, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a deep, tender affection.

Unfortunately, Tong Guang was unaware of his deep affection!

She scratched her long, smooth hair a little awkwardly, then laughed nonchalantly, "So where shall we go for dinner?"

"I know a restaurant on Guyuan Street that's pretty good. Shall we go there?"

In front of the bustling restaurant, Tong Guang looked up and saw that although the restaurant only had three floors, it occupied a vast area and looked like a palace from a distance! It was exceptionally magnificent and grand.

On the upturned eaves of each floor, large red lanterns hang, swaying gently in the evening breeze... The lanterns bear three powerful characters: Wanzunlou!

As soon as I stepped into the spacious hall of the restaurant, a rich and complex atmosphere hit me.

The aroma of various delicacies mixed with the scent of wine wafted over, instantly stimulating Tong Guang's taste buds, and her stomach made a "gurgling" sound in response.

Just then, a waiter in uniform with a smile quickly came up to us.

"Welcome! What services would you like?"

"We want a private room!" Jiang Chenyan said succinctly.

The waiter's smile was slightly stiff as he said apologetically, "Esteemed guest, I'm so sorry. All our private rooms are fully booked for today. We only have a few tables left in the main hall. If it's just the two of you dining, perhaps... you could consider sitting in the main hall?"

Jiang Chenyan's expression froze slightly! How could he forget that the private rooms at Wanzunlou were always in high demand and required advance reservations?

The lobby on the first floor was bustling with people and incredibly noisy; it was definitely not a suitable place for a quiet meal. He turned to the girl beside him and asked, "What do you think?"

Tong Guang, on the other hand, seemed quite nonchalant, shrugging indifferently, "It doesn't matter where we eat, it's all about filling our stomachs anyway!"

Seeing the girl's straightforwardness, Jiang Chenyan chuckled softly. Just as he was about to nod in agreement to the waiter...

A woman's voice came from not far away, interrupting what he was about to say.

"Chen Yan, are you eating here too?"

The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw Ye Ruyan gracefully walking in from the entrance of the restaurant. Beside her followed Jiang Yuqiao, whose smile was as bright as the sun.

"Brother!" Jiang Yuqiao called out, waving at him!
