ogize to my guards, but also to this princess."I thought that once I disarmed the guards, the crazy woman before me would see reason and stand down.I didn't expect her to become even crazier.Ling Ruo...A woman in a crimson wedding gown was asleep on the edge of his bed. A gust of wind blew in from the window, and Nangong Ye's eyes widened in surprise.

He hadn't smelled such clean, fresh air mingled with the scent of bamboo in a long time.

Perhaps this was a hallucination he saw after his death...

However, the next moment, Qingxuan's soft voice interrupted his thoughts.

Finally woke up.

The woman opened her eyes, rubbed them, and at that moment, the silvery moonlight streamed through the window, pouring in like a silver waterfall. The faint light bathed her fair skin, making her crimson dress seem almost demonic.

She had a pair of eyes that were somewhere between almond and phoenix eyes, with a captivating allure blended perfectly with a cool detachment. Waves of shimmering water danced within her gaze, exuding a unique charm unlike anything he had ever witnessed.

Before he could react, the woman forcefully opened his mouth and sprayed a cool medicinal solution into it.

The cool potion dissolved in his mouth, alleviating the burning sensation of Nan Gong Ye's stomach.

The woman explained, “You’re unable to speak because you were poisoned, damaging your nerves. But don’t worry, since I was able to pull you back from the clutches of the Grim Reaper after you died, I can also remove the poison from your body and allow you to speak again.”

He was startled again, but after hearing the words of the woman before him, he once again dimmed his eyes and looked down.

Even if he could speak, what good would it do He's now just a broken wreck lying in bed, completely helpless. He can't even... take care of things on his own, not to mention feel anything.

He narrowed his eyes, hoping to signal the woman with his gaze to scram.

"You still want me to leave"

The woman was very intelligent; she saw through his thoughts at a glance.

Her lips, the color of vermilion, curved into a slight smile: "Now I am your princess. There are guards outside this courtyard; I cannot fly even with wings. Even if I escaped, if I were caught, all that awaited me would be a dead end."

"I want to live, the only way is to cure your illness. Until you return to your peak and become the mighty war god people see again. Then, you can send me a divorce letter when you're ready."

Will he ever have another chance to reach the peak again

He only thought the woman in front of him was being presumptuous, but what she said next made him fall into deep thought.

"Don't you feel it You aren't being eaten alive by thousands of ants, are you"

Only then did Nangong Ye realize, upon hearing the woman's words, that the pain that had plagued him for half a year had vanished!

Though his spine was broken and he had no feeling in his lower body, the toxins coursing through him would still make him feel pain. It felt like thousands of ants were devouring him from the inside out.

Could it be true, as this woman says, that she cured him of the poison within his body

The beautiful woman suddenly leaned close to him, a unique fragrance filling his nose. In that instant, as he gazed into her confident eyes, he felt lost in thought again.

"In less than twelve hours, after your weakened body has recovered a bit, you can speak. But right now, your body is still too weak and needs more time to recover before surgery."

He didn't understand what the surgery meant, but the woman's confident expression seemed to say that he truly had a chance.

However, just as a crack tore open his dark world, letting in a faint ray of sunlight, a pungent stench plunged Nangong Ye back into despair.

According to Qingxuan's calculations, given Nan Gong Ye's current physical condition, it would take at least a day for him to be able to speak again.

At that moment, a foul stench emanated from beneath Namgung Yeop's body, and a low, gravelly voice echoed through the room.

Nan Gong Ye: "Get out!"

Qingxuan stood by the bed, her brow furrowed even tighter.

Qingxuan: "You really don't understand what I'm saying."

She raised her hand and slapped her bandaged forehead hard, putting all her strength into it.

Below his neck, Namgung Yeop felt no sensation, but above it, he was still aware.

A sharp pain spread from the center of my brow.

The woman glared at him angrily: “I’ve already said, wait until I heal you and get that divorce paper you wrote, then I’ll leave. But before that, you have to listen to me.”

“I heard that the former God of War was like an immortal, untouched by worldly affairs, with a noble and refined appearance. From now on, if you don't cooperate with my active treatment, I will spread your records of incontinence to the public, making you a deeper joke among the common people…”

Before Qingxuan's voice could even fade, Nangong Ye's eyes burned with a look that could kill.

Nan Gong Ye: "You dare!"ghter's face, it would change his daughter's life. 。Just as Zhou Laosan finished his fifth cup of tea, he finally saw Qingxuan enter Wuwei Ju wearing a veil. 。As soon as Qingxuan and Nangong Ye entere...
