huddered at the thought. After some deliberation, she decided to keep it a secret for now and turned back, warning them, "None of you are to speak of today's events, or I will pluck out your tongues!"..."Night Gege, you, you... how come you're so different today Your mouth is so sweet." Zhao Ruoqing blushed, feeling extremely uncomfortable under his scorching gaze. Her heart pounded like thunder as she turned her face away slightly, shyly embarrassed.

He ambiguously lifted her chin, forcing her gaze to meet his. Jun Liye suddenly smirked mischievously, "Doesn't Qing'er like this from me"

Zhao Ruoqing's face flushed even redder, lightly biting her lips that were as crimson as blood, she uttered in a seductive voice: "No! How could it be As long as it's Ye Gege, I'm willing to do anything you ask, even...even if you want my body right now."

As she spoke, she bashfully lowered her head, looking as if she were inviting him to pluck a flower from her.

Tonight, Night Brother is a little strange, but so alluring.

Her long and narrow phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, a glimmer of cold light flashing deep within them. Jun Liye curved her lips into a soft smile, her voice laced with hidden meaning: "Rest assured, I'll make you want to live and die."

"Night Brother, you're so bad!" Zhao Ruqing glared at him with spring in her eyes, but her heart was filled with anticipation.

Seeing Zhao Ruoqing's lovestruck appearance, Jun Liye scoffed with a smirk. In her phoenix eyes, a sliver of concealed killing intent flickered.

A cool touch lightly danced across her flushed cheeks, sending shivers down her body. Jun Liye spoke softly, his voice a dreamy murmur laced with a captivating allure, "Qing'er, now that we are husband and wife, shouldn't we be honest with each other There should be no secrets between us."

"Night brother said it is, this is natural." Her delicate body trembled uncontrollably, Zhao Ruoqing stared at him infatuatedly, her body yearning for his touch.

Her eyes glittered, Jun Liye continued in a soft voice: "I once heard Ling'er say that you have a golden cicada mother gu on your body, which can command tens of thousands of insects, extremely powerful. Unfortunately, I have never seen such a magical insect before, and my heart is truly curious. I wonder if Qing'er could take it out for me to feast my eyes"

Worms!

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ruoqing's eyes, which had been hazy with desire, instantly regained their clarity. Her complexion paled, and her expression suddenly became extremely stiff, "This..."

"Qing'er, is there something you are reluctant to say" Unexpectedly, she had actually woken up. Jun Liye couldn't help but frown, continuing to press her.

"Night Gege, I..." Zhao Ruqing opened her mouth, a flicker of hesitation in her eyes, before she silently turned her head away, the meaning quite clear.

Upon seeing this, Jun Liye's heart sank instantly, the smile on his face fading subtly. However, he didn't miss the flicker of hesitation in her eyes just now.

"Since we are now husband and wife, is it too much to ask for a little trust Or perhaps you never truly trusted me from the start Well, never mind. If you don't want to look, then don't. Just rest well." Jun Liye let out a bitter smile, suddenly stood up, left her behind, and walked towards the door, his back filled with an indescribable bitterness.

Seeing him about to leave, Zhao Ruqing's heart suddenly tightened. She hurriedly reached out and grabbed his sleeve, nervously saying, "Ye Gege, where are you going Don't you want to stay and rest"

With a sudden halt, Jun Li Ye did not turn around. He allowed her to tug on his sleeve and smiled wryly, "You don't trust me at all. What am I still doing here This marriage is truly a joke."

This voice was filled with unspeakable sadness and loneliness. Zhao Ruqing's heart ached to hear it, "No, that's not true, Ye Gege, I truly love you, how could I possibly distrust you Please don't leave, I was wrong just now, if you want to see, I can show it to you."

Upon hearing this, Jun Li's night-like shimmering lips slightly curled into a subtle arc, finally letting out a sigh of relief inwardly.

"No need, no pressure. Just treat it as a joke from me." Hiding the joy in her eyes, Jun Li Ye's face remained unchanged, still wearing that heartbroken and bitter expression. He slightly tightened his sleeve, feigning a step to leave.

As expected, Zhao Ruqing ran up again in a flurry, eagerly taking out the golden cicada mother gu from within her body and holding it in her palm before him. She said flatteringly, "Don't force yourself, Ye Gege, look, this is my golden cicada mother gu."

Gazing at the golden worm in her palm, Jun Liye's phoenix eyes instantly flashed with a bone-chilling coldness. Placing his hand on her wrist, he said softly and tenderly, "May I have a closer look"

A tingling sensation spread through her wrist, and Zhao Ruoqing's face flushed even deeper. She couldn't bear to disappoint him, so gritting her teeth, she nodded firmly, "Yes, now that I belong to Brother Ye, I believe he wouldn't harm me. Here."

Without a shred of hesitation, Zhao Ruqing directly placed the golden cicada gu in his hand. She even suggestively drew a circle on his palm with her finger, her face flushed, silently inviting him.

"... A twitch at the corner of his mouth, Jun Liye's goosebumps were about to stand on end."

She implied it three times, how thirsty this woman is!

Tilting his head, he squinted at the writhing golden cicada pupae in his hand, a cold smile curling on his lips as he spoke in a low voice, "I didn't expect that even such a mere insect would..."

"Huh Night Brother, what did you just say" Zhao Ruqing's brow jumped, she keenly sensed that his tone seemed a bit off, and couldn't help but tug at the corner of his clothes.

She had just seemed to hear a hint of extremely cold killing intent in Ye Gege's tone, how could this be possible!

"You guess." Jun Liye suddenly turned his head, flashing her a grin with teeth bared, white and sharp. A silver needle hidden between his fingers glittered with a cold, menacing point.

Having said that, he plunged the silver needles between his fingers into the Golden Cicada Gu with lightning speed, piercing it straight through!

“Ahhhh! My golden cicada worm! You, what did you do to it!” As soon as the golden cicada worm died, Zhao Ruqing immediately covered her face in pain. The smooth skin exposed outside her hands rapidly grew wrinkled, just like the skin of an eighty-year-old woman!

To Jun Li Ye's surprise, Zhao Ruqing had suddenly become so grotesque. A wave of nausea washed over him, and he involuntarily took several steps back. "It's just a poisoned needle piercing its body," he said dismissively. "There's no need to make such a fuss."

“Ah! Ah! Jun Liye! Why Why are you doing this to me” Something kept writhing beneath her withered skin, Zhao Ruqing stiffly moved her neck and angrily questioned him.

“Why Because……” Jun Liye smiled enigmatically, then instantly, he lightly pulled at the human skin mask on his face, replacing it with a stunningly beautiful and flamboyant visage, “I’m not your Night Gege!”

So arrogant, so stunning, could this person be anyone other than Su Qingying!

"Su Qingying! How could it be you!" Zhao Ruqing's face contorted in fury, her eyes bulging out of their sockets.

The little hand casually tossed the human skin mask aside. Su Qingying hugged her chest with both hands, revealing two adorable little canines, and challenged provocatively, "It's me, this princess! What do you think Surprised Shocked Unexpected"

"Where's Ye Gege What did you do to him!" Zhao Ruqing was so angry she was about to spit blood, and she still couldn't help but ask about Jun Liye's whereabouts. Apparently, she didn't connect Su Qingying with Jun Liye at all.ld this be a trap"Clutching the scroll tightly in her hand, Su Qingying knew all too well the worry etched on her face. This was clearly a trap designed by Zhao Ruzhi to target her!Just..."Even if the...
