Tap, tap, tap…

The silver moon hung in the sky above the capital. The long street was silent except for a beautiful figure in blue clothes running down the street as if she was being chased by a rapist.

After running out of Heavenly Water Bridge, Luo Ning slowed down and looked back at the empty alley.

The little thief didn’t follow me out. He was probably dragged into the house by that woman…

The little thief was drugged. He definitely won’t be able to withstand it and will be eaten up by that woman…

But if i go back and continue to snatch him, the little thief will definitely harm me…

It’s better to leave first. In any case, the little thief can’t help it. Its not impossible to forgive him…

I shouldn’t throw myself into trouble…

Luo Ning looked back at the entrance of the street for a moment. Then she gritted her teeth and turned to leave. But as soon as she turned into the alley, she bumped into a warm embrace.

Plop!

“All!” Luo Ning was startled. She quickly moved a few steps away and held the soft sword at her waist.

In the dark alley stood a valiant man. He opened his arms and walked toward her. “Heroine Luo, don’t be agitated. It’s me…”

Clang!

Luo Ning wasn’t agitated at first, but when she heard this familiar voice, her shoulders trembled violently. She pulled out her sword as if she had seen a fiend and pointed at the little thief like an innocent heroine meeting a rapist. “You… don’t come over!”

Ye Jingtang didn’t care about the sword inches away from him. He walked forward until the tip of the sword touched his chest.

?!

Luo Ning looked at the little thief’s burning eyes, and her eyelashes trembled slightly. She was clearly panicked, but she didn’t dare to really stab him. So she could only retreat step by step until her back was against the wall of the alley. “Little thief! Wake up! You—Ah!”

As soon as the sword tip was moved away, Ye Jingtang took a step forward, raised his arms, and hugged Heroine Luo’s waist. He pulled her into his arms and gently rubbed her earlobe. “Phew…”

“You!” Luo Ning tilted her head forcefully and felt her waist being squeezed. Her eyes were full of shame and anger as she hurriedly pushed away the hands messing around. “Little thief! Behave yourself. This isn’t an aphrodisiac. It won’t mess up your mind. You’re doing it on purpose, right?!”

Ye Jingtang was indeed doing it on purpose, but it was also due to the medicine. He hugged Heroine Luo tightly and refused to let go. “Heroine Luo, why did you drug me? Do you want it but don’t dare to say it?”

?

Luo Ning felt her entire body go numb from the man’s hot breath. She twisted her shoulders forcefully. “Who drugged you? It’s Madam Wang. She said that you have too much internal heat and need to have intercourse to recuperate…”

Ye Jingtang was stunned. He smelled the faint fragrance in her hair. “Then, Heroine Luo bought me medicine and prepared to help me recuperate?”

Tightly wrapped by his arms, Luo Ning explained angrily, “In your dreams. I pretended to be your fiancee, so Mrs. Wang misunderstood. 1 said that you were a modest gentleman and would never be rude to me because of those things, so she prescribed a box of medicine… I misjudged you!”

Ye Jingtang blinked. “Then, you took the medicine but were too embarrassed to use it, so you gave it to Third Lady?”

Luo Ning’s eyes turned slightly cold. “What do you mean 1 gave it to her? She suddenly ran over and snatched it without saying a word. I couldn’t explain it to her…”

“Then, why did you come over to drag me back? Were you jealous?”

Luo Ning didn’t know how to answer this question. She hesitated for a moment before saying, “I haven’t decided whether I want you to take responsibility yet. You harassed me first, so you have to make amends… Shouldn’t I come over and drag you away? Could it be that 1 should let you fool around outside before I’ve thought about it? … Don’t kiss my ear!”

“Sigh… I can’t help it…” Ye Jingtang relaxed his hug slightly and said seriously, “I’ve always been trustworthy. I was drugged by a freak combination of factors. There’s nothing I can do about it. I’ll just kiss you…”

Luo Ning’s face flushed red as she said angrily, “Little thief! Don’t find an excuse. You’re just using ‘wine to boost your courage’. Madam Wang said that this medicine won’t affect your mind. If 1 regret it and refuse, you can completely restrain yourself…”

Ye Jingtang whispered into her ear, “Do you believe that? You’ve already drugged me, which means that you already have thoughts. Even if I have a mental lapse, I will go with the flow. Madam Wang just said that because she was afraid that you wouldn’t be able to let go…”

Luo Ning struggled, but she couldn’t break free. The shame and anger in her eyes slowly turned into helplessness, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes became misty. “Ye Jingtang, don’t find excuses to deceive me! Madam Wang said that it won’t affect your mind. It’s obvious that you have ulterior motives. If you really cared about my opinion, wouldn’t you be able to hold back?”

Hearing this, Ye Jingtang relaxed slightly and looked straight into her eyes. “This is a fierce medicine. How can I bear it? My mind is tenacious, but will I not die if I eat poison?”

Luo Ning glared at him. “As long as you’re mentally resilient and don’t think about those things, you’ll definitely be able to stay calm!”

Ye Jingtang thought for a moment, took out the medicine box from his pocket, and took out a pill. “Open your mouth!”

??

Luo Ning was a little confused. “What do you want to do?”

Ye Jingtang moved the pill into Luo Ning’s mouth. “Since you said that I can bear it, try it yourself. We’ll both take it and stand here. Whoever moves will be a puppy. How about it?”

Luo Ning felt that this method sounded fair, but when she thought about it carefully, it was all a trap. She hurriedly covered her mouth and looked vigilant. “I wasn’t the one who fed you the medicine. Third Lady Pei gave it to you. Why should I try it with you?”

Ye Jingtang agreed and nodded slightly. “Heroine Luo, you really can’t be blamed for this. Third Lady didn’t know either. I… I’ll go to the Prince of Jing… I have to solve this matter…”

When Luo Ning heard that he was going to look for the princess, she instinctively raised her hand and pulled his sleeve.

Ye Jingtang stopped. Seeing that Heroine Luo wanted to say something but hesitated, he changed his words. “Then, should 1 go to the Dragon Cry Pavilion?”

Luo Ning stopped Ye Jingtang, who seemed to have already lost his mind, and said solemnly, “The women in that place aren’t clean. You… you have to keep yourself clean.”

Ye Jingtang felt rather helpless. “Heroine Luo, you dragged me out of Third Lady’s place and won’t let me find the princess nor go to a brothel. You know that I can’t help it, but you don’t dare to take the medicine either. Instead, you’re making me stand here and resist. Are you trying to kill me?”

Luo Ning stood by the wall and looked at the man speaking eloquently in front of her. She couldn’t retort, so she gritted her teeth, snatched the medicine box away, and said in a determined voice, “Alright, I’ll eat it. If I can’t bear it, I won’t blame you for whatever you do to me. If I can bear it, I’ll castrate you…”

Then she took out a pill to throw into her mouth.

Ye Jingtang hurriedly raised his hand to stop her. “Alright, stop fooling around. You definitely won’t be able to bear it.”

?!

Luo Ning didn’t believe it. She struggled with all her might to swallow the medicine and endure it for Ye Jingtang to see.

When Ye Jingtang saw this stubborn look that had refused to suffer a loss, he felt helpless. “If you eat here, what if you can’t bear it and the two of us put on a show on the street?”

Luo Ning thought about it and agreed. She held the pill and deliberated for a moment. “Yunli is at home. Let’s go to an inn and get a room…”

Ye Jingtang spread his hands slightly. “If you can bear it, why are you afraid of Yunli? You know that you won’t be able to endure it, so don’t take the medicine rashly. Otherwise, when you wake up tomorrow, you’ll regret it and say that 1 set a trap or something.”

Luo Ning fell silent for a moment before turning around and walking toward Dye Workshop Street. “Do you think I have bad thoughts like you? I’ll go back and take it for you to see. Even if it’s really an aphrodisiac, as long as 1 don’t have any evil thoughts, 1 can suppress it…”

Ye Jingtang shook his head and sighed. He stopped trying to persuade her and followed the angry Sister Little Watermelons home. “Okay, but let’s make things clear first. If anything really happens, Heroine Luo, don’t blame me tomorrow.”

“Hmph!”

Heavenly Water Bridge was about three kilometers away from Dye Workshop Street. It wasn’t too far.

It was already around midnight. The afterglow of the sea of lanterns could still be seen in the center of the city, but the current block had already become empty. Other than the clear and silent moon, there was only a night watchman occasionally carrying a lantern back and forth.

The two of them walked side by side. Under the drive of the fierce medicine, Ye Jingtang’s footsteps naturally became faster and faster.

Luo Ning, on the other hand, lacked confidence. Her footsteps became slower and slower. She went from walking in front to following behind. She pursed her lips, and her cold face had a hint of hesitation. She looked like she wanted to go back on her word, but she couldn’t speak.

The two of them walked in silence. Before they reached Dye Workshop Street, an eagle’s cry suddenly sounded in the distant night sky.

Shreech!”

The sound was shocking and alarming. It was late at night and under the clouds, so probably half of the capital could hear it.

Luo Ning was walking with her imagination running wild when the little thief in front of her stopped in his tracks, causing her almost to bump into his back. She was puzzled. “What are you doing?”

“It’s the bird.” Ye Jingtang looked at the night sky, and his eyes regained focus. Based on his many years of experience, the cry should be expressing: You idiots, you’re infuriating this bird. This way, this way, this way…!

Ye Jingtang frowned and turned around. “It’s the bird. It’s very anxious. I’ll go over and take a look.”

Luo Ning blinked and suddenly remembered Madam Wang’s instructions. She felt a little anxious and followed beside him. “You took that medicine. You…”

Ye Jingtang’s lecherous expression returned to calm. “I was just joking with you. There’s really nothing wrong with my mind. It’s just that I’m flustered all over and have endless energy. I just want to find someone to vent…”

?!

Hearing these excessive words, Luo Ning was extremely angry and grabbed Ye Jingtang’s wrist. “What nonsense are you saying? Come back with me… I… I’ll think of a way for you, okay? I’ll help you suppress the effects of the medicine first. What if something happens to you…”

Before she could finish speaking, another sound came from the sky.

Shreech!”

This time, the sound was a little closer…
