"Yi Huai, are you there?" Li Wanji called out tentatively again, but the hall was still silent and no one responded.

She walked to the stone table and gently touched the exquisite tableware and food. Everything was real, not an illusion.

What on earth is Gong Lanzhu doing?

Suddenly, she noticed a huge screen in the corner of the hall, and something seemed to be hidden behind the screen.

Li Wanji walked over carefully and gently moved the screen away.

Behind the screen, there was actually a huge pool with steam rising from it. It was obviously a hot spring.

The pool was covered with pink petals, the fragrance was overwhelming, and in the misty hot air, a human figure could be vaguely seen.

The man was lying on a bamboo couch in the water, wearing only a thin nightgown. The spring water soaked his clothes, outlining his strong figure.

Li Wanji looked carefully and wondered who that person was but Gong Yihuai.

At this time, Gong Yihuai had his eyes closed and his face flushed, obviously he was also poisoned by the Mei Xin Grass.

Li Wanji cursed in her heart: This Gong Lanzhu, in order to lure her into the trap, even drugged her own son!

She walked to the pool and reached out to touch Gong Yihuai's forehead.

piping hot.

She reached out and pressed the pulse on his right hand. Fortunately, he was not poisoned by any other poison, but was simply poisoned by the Charming Heart Grass. However, the dosage was not light.

This drug will put people into a psychedelic state, and the strong desire will devour their reason. If it is not detoxified in time, it may cause great damage to the body and even be life-threatening.

"Wan Ji, you shouldn't have come." Gong Yihuai suddenly opened his eyes and said in a hoarse voice.

His eyes were a little blurry, and his face looked even more handsome due to the effects of the medicine and the heat, but also with a hint of fragility.

Li Wanji was shocked. She didn't expect Gong Yihuai to wake up at this time. Looking at the desire and struggle flashing in his eyes, she knew that he was trying to restrain himself.

"Yihuai, how are you?" Li Wanji asked softly, trying to keep him awake.

"I'm fine, you go out first." Gong Yihuai turned his head away and no longer looked at her.

"Yi Huai, tell me, where is the antidote?" she asked urgently.

"There is no antidote," he whispered, his voice revealing a sense of desperation, "There is no antidote for this drug. You can only rely on your own willpower to get through it."

Being able to trick a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage, Gong Lanzhu had no intention of leaving him any way out from the beginning.

Li Wanji plans to use ice magic to freeze the hot spring in order to lower Gong Yihuai's body temperature and help him resist the medicinal effects of the charm grass.

However, just as she was about to cast the spell, Gong Yihuai suddenly grabbed her hand.

“No,” he whispered, “It’s useless. This secret room has been blessed by the magic weapon of my Qilin clan. No spell can be cast here.”

"Besides, freezing can only provide temporary relief, not a cure. With my current physical condition, I can't withstand such a strong shock of cold."

"Then I'll get through it with you."

Gong Yihuai looked at her in shock: "Wan Ji, don't you suspect that my mother and I deliberately designed a plan to lure you here?"

Li Wanji shook her head: "No, I never doubted it for a moment. I always believed in you."

"Yi Huai, do you know the real purpose of your mother doing this?"

Gong Yihuai stared at her, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes: "My mother... wants... a descendant of the Qilin with heavenly bloodline."

He told her very straightforwardly, without hiding anything.

"Heavenly bloodline?"

It was pretty much what Li Wanji had expected.

Now everyone in the Great Wilderness says that Li Wanji has a special physique. If one can give birth to children with her, then these children will definitely have strong descendants who can realize the family's revival.

Therefore, Gong Lanzhu planned this move, attempting to use the medicinal effects of Meixincao to make Li Wanji and Gong Yihuai combine under the influence of the medicine, thus giving birth to a descendant of the Qilin with heavenly bloodline.

Li Wanji looked at Gong Yihuai in front of her. He was obviously not in good condition at the moment.

Although he had been trying hard to restrain himself, the effect of the Charming Heart Grass was too strong. His forehead was covered with cold sweat and his hands were clenched into fists. It was obvious that he was trying his best to endure it.

She raised her hand and gently stroked his cheek. This pitiful little look made Li Wanji's heart beat fast.

What a coincidence, Gong Lanzhu's action brought the "gift" that she had been longing for for a long time to her. Could she really refuse it?

What a pity that would be!

"Yi Huai, what do you think?"

Gong Yihuai spoke with difficulty: "Wan Ji, I... I don't want to be a tool manipulated by my mother. I... I like you, not because of your physique, but just because... you are you."

"But where is there such a thing as pure love in the world? It's all just the product of intertwined interests." Li Wanji sighed softly, "Yi Huai, how about we... just stop here."

"This way... maybe you can suffer less."

Li Wanji jumped lightly into the hot spring, her dress spread out in the water like a blooming flower.

She leaned over Gong Yihuai's body and kissed his forehead gently. Her lips were slightly cool, moistening his hot skin like spring rain.

"Wan Ji, you..."

Gong Yihuai's heart was instantly in a mess, and the last bit of sanity he had was gradually swallowed up by Li Wanji's tenderness.

He tried to push her away, but his hands slipped away powerlessly and he could only hold her tightly.

"Wan Ji, I seem to be blaspheming you."

"Yi Huai, this is not your fault alone. This is our common downfall."

……

The steam in the hot spring became thicker and thicker, and the overlapping figures of the two people were looming in the mist...

It was unknown how much time had passed. When Li Wanji woke up again, she found herself lying on a soft bed and her clothes had been carefully changed.

She rubbed her still heavy head, looked around, and found that this was an elegantly decorated bedroom, obviously not the hot spring she had been to before.

She struggled to sit up and felt a little weak, but compared to the burning sensation and confusion before, she was now clear-headed.

The door was gently pushed open, and Gong Yihuai walked in holding a bowl of steaming medicine.

When he saw that Li Wanji had woken up, a hint of joy flashed across his eyes, and then it turned into a complicated emotion.

"You're awake. This is the medicine I just made. It can help you recover your strength." Gong Yihuai handed the medicine to Li Wanji, his voice a little hoarse.

Li Wanji took the medicine, blew away the hot air gently, and then drank it in small sips.

The temperature of the medicine was just right, with a slight sweetness that made her stomach feel comfortable.

"We..." Li Wanji raised her head and looked at Gong Yihuai, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

Gong Yihuai understood what she meant. He sighed softly, sat down on the bed, and held Li Wanji's hand: "Wanji, I'm sorry about what happened last night. My mother...she shouldn't have forced us in this way."

"It's none of your business." Li Wanji smiled, "I know you were forced, and... I don't regret it."
