When Shen Zhiqiao returned to his room, he saw wet and broken wooden planks littering the floor, as well as Tuoba Rui and Wang Qiyao, who were sitting in the middle of the river, helping Tuoba Yu to breathe.

As for Tuoba Yu, he was facing her directly.

His appearance caused her heart to contract.

Two slender white fingers grabbed his knees, the veins on the back of his hands were like green bugs trying their best to get out.

He was now half naked.

His well-muscled chest was unnaturally red, as if it had been boiled in boiling water.

However, his extraordinarily handsome face couldn't be compared to how it used to be. His thin lips trembled, and after a while, his face became unbearably dry and cracked.

He closed his eyes, his forehead, and the corners of his eyes were all covered in cyan and red lines.

She sucked in a deep breath. Nan Yue had just told her about what had happened tonight. She still found it hard to believe. From the looks of it, it seemed to be even more serious.

Tuoba Rui saw her turn around and did not say anything. He withdrew his hand, stood up, and walked out of the room. However, he closed the door behind him.

A sound came from behind him, causing Shen Zhi Qiao to gasp for breath.

She looked at him from afar. She saw him curled up in pain on the ground. She saw him roar like a wounded beast. Her heart was flustered. Perhaps she had already been flustered after listening to what Nan Yue had to say.

She didn't know what had happened to her, but somehow she had run back in.

"Ah …" Another roar filled with pain.

Shen Zhi Qiao clenched his fists as he looked over. He was desperately grabbing onto the flesh of his body. Traces of blood continuously flowed out from the tips of his fingers, causing Shen Zhi Qiao's eyes to widen.

Anger welled up in his heart. He clearly could have forced himself on her just now … But did he want to pretend to be great in order to push her into the abyss of ingratitude and disloyalty?!

As she thought of this, she rushed forward, crouched down, and grabbed his hand that was still raging.

The scorching heat from his hands struck her, and her heart felt like it was on fire. Shen Zhiqiao suddenly felt like he was being reckless. Thinking of this, she was prepared to let go of his hand.

However, he held it back at the right time. His heart skipped a beat as he looked up and saw phoenix-eyed people staring at her with fiendish intent.

Shen Zhi Qiao's body shrank back. She stared at him timidly but pretended to be full of energy, "What are you looking at?!"

Tuoba Yu narrowed his eyes and covered the raging waves that were about to burst out of his eyes. All the blood vessels in his body were flowing backwards as waves of emotions flowed through his five limbs and bones and converged at a certain point.

He was so thin that all the pores on his body began to clamor, but he gnashed his teeth and said, "What are you doing back here? Scram!"

I really want to scold him for not knowing what's good for him!

Shen Zhi Qiao glared at him in annoyance.

She didn't know that every single expression on her face was as if she was seducing him, tempting him to want to hide in her body right now.

He bit her lips and viciously said, "Shen Zhi Qiao, I let you go! You did not leave, and now you have returned by yourself. In this life, you can forget about ever letting me leave you alive again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he flipped over and pressed her to the ground …

As she gazed at Shen Zhiqiao's room, she suddenly felt uneasy.

The little Emperor was infected with the power of the medicine. It was powerful enough to make a man, who had been inhumane for a long time, work like a tiger, let alone a tall and sturdy little emperor.

Worry filled her heart, and she felt some regret for sending her in.

If the medicinal properties were to erupt and the little Emperor found it difficult to control himself, she would be worried about what might happen to Ah Zhi …

Thinking about this, she felt even more uncertain. However, she couldn't pull her out now, so she could only anxiously turn around outside the door.

Tuoba Rui furrowed his brows as he saw that she was still not leaving, so he just stood there without leaving. At the same time, he heard vague low growls coming from inside. As a man, he felt red in the face and ears, but she acted like nothing had happened.

Did she not feel that there was anything wrong with the doubt in her heart?

Tuoba Rui stepped forward, grabbed her collar, and turned away. With a hard voice, he said, "Nan Yue, there will be a day when This King will grind down your temper. You're a woman that lacks discipline!"

Surprisingly, Nan Yue didn't reply and instead hugged his arm. She raised her head and asked, "Tuoba Rui, do you think something will happen if the little Emperor and Ah Zhi are inside?

Should we, should we just wait outside? If anything happens, we can still guard against it, can't we?! "

Tuoba Rui glanced at her, then let go of her collar and let her hold his arm.

"What can happen to them inside, it's not like it's the most normal 'exchange' between men and women."

Communication?!

Nan Yue's mouth twitched, and her face turned slightly red. She pulled back her hand and said unwillingly, "It's fine if little emperor was infected with some other Spring Poison, but I have nothing to worry about.

"But the main point is that he was afflicted with the Ouroboros Clan's medicinal properties, I don't need you to say anything about it. I'm worried that if they really stay inside for seven days and seven nights, they might starve to death or tire themselves to death."

If the little Emperor can hold on, then what about Ah Zhi?!

"Who told you they were going to stay in there for seven days?"

Tuoba Rui pursed his lips. This woman was really naive. He pulled her hand and explained, "Nan Jue has already returned to the palace to notify Lou Lan. With his medical skills, he should be able to produce the antidote in the shortest time possible …"

His words stopped there, but Nan Yue understood.

A giant rock dropped from her heart, and she instantly felt at ease.

But at this moment, she was sensitive to find that her hands were tightly grasped by him. His hands were thick and warm, and his heart was beating rapidly. He pursed his lips and quietly stared at his pair of beautiful large palms.

It was as if this was the first time he had held her in such a gentle and affectionate manner …

The person beside her suddenly quieted down. Tuoba Rui's intuition felt a bit off. He turned his head to look at her, only to see that her black eyes were sparkling as she stared blankly at the two hands that were tightly clenched together.

With a thought, he pulled her hand into his embrace and wrapped his arm around her slender waist. The two of them were instantly pressed together. Tuoba Rui leaned close to her ear and said in a low voice, "Nan Yue, why don't we not go back tonight …"

Her ears felt hot and itchy. Nan Yue leaned back, puzzled. "If we don't go back, then where are we going?"

"We're at the Absolute Immortal Restaurant. Let's get a room …" Tuoba Rui said, grabbing her earlobe.
