He replied, “Because the pill I just fed you is called ‘Heartache’, and the only antidote in the world is in my hands. I won’t give you the antidote. This poison will take effect at night. Every day at this time, I will give you a pill that only temporarily detoxifies, so you must take it daily. If you miss a day, you will die. So, you cannot leave me.”
“Damn, you’re playing dirty!” I sat up, pointing my finger at his nose in contempt. He just laughed. Suddenly, my chest hurt as if scraped by a knife. I looked at the moon outside the window, feeling my face pale.
That “Heartache” poison, why was it working so quickly! T^T Pain~
Xiao Chengyue took out a vermilion pill from his pouch and stuffed it into my mouth. I swallowed it, and the pain immediately subsided. I lay weakly as he covered me with a blanket. “You’re tired, so go to sleep early. I’ll come again tomorrow.”
He turned and left, and I grabbed the pillow, wanting to throw it at him! Why am I so unlucky, Xiao Chengyue! I want you to have a bad end!!
Life in the Demon Sect was simply inhuman! Although I was well-fed and housed, it was a hundred times more boring than life in the deep palace! Little Shang was gone, Yu was gone, and Shu Yang and Bao Xi were not by my side. I can’t do without them; my life feels like plain water.
In this courtyard, I’m always watched like a prisoner. Xiao Chengyue, who poisoned me, seems to fear I’ll escape. Most importantly, he deliberately goes against me, not allowing me to step out of the courtyard. This is soft imprisonment!
The worst part is that I didn’t bring my jade hairpin, fearing to lose it.
I could have asked my godfather the Jade Emperor and my godfather the King of Hell for help. I regret it so much. However, the good things given to me by those grandparents during my visits to those sects, I still have with me.
