Qu Ci did not notice Qu Ling and continued to speak, "You Chinese men all like three wives, I only have Ah Ling as my blood relative, I cannot make her suffer grievances."

"Ah Ling's grandfather said in his letter that you are an outstanding young man, so I don't want to use Miao Ren's woman to treat my husband as a love potion. If you agree to these conditions, I will immediately tell you the method to remove the Gu when you come out of the Serpent God Hall. "

When Qu Ling heard this, he did not continue listening.

Just as she turned around, Xiao Jingyue suddenly looked towards the stairs.

When Xiao Jingyue returned to Qu Ling's bedroom, he saw her sitting in front of his dressing mirror in a daze.

When he walked behind her, she drooped her head and said listlessly in a low voice, "Grandma only has a tough mouth, but her heart is still soft. If I beg a few more times, she will just let it go."

Xiao Jingyue was not surprised at all when she heard what Qu Ci had said. A martial artist's hearing was sharper than an ordinary person's, the moment she stepped onto the stairs, he had sensed it.

He lowered his head and looked at the girl's face in the bronze mirror, not knowing what to say.

After living for more than twenty years, with no one being able to threaten him, Qu Ci was the first.

He refused. He was prepared to die at any moment.

No one can live for twenty years after being infected by a Gu, no matter what Gu.

Agree, and Qu Ci would tell him the method to remove the Innate Gu.

But Qu Ci had also made it very clear that she only knew of the method to remove the parasite, and he had to find the necessary medicines for the process.

Some might be able to find it, while others might not be able to for the rest of their lives.

In other words, even if he knew how to disintegrate the Gu within, he might not be able to do so.

But even so, he couldn't give up so easily.

No one wanted to live, and neither did he.

But if …

Xiao Jingyue inadvertently lifted his eyes and his pupils shrank all of a sudden.

"Qu Ling!"

He forced her over her shoulder, forced her to face him.

The lady's face was flushed, and her beautiful eyes were filled with tears.

Xiao Jingyue felt like he was falling into a valley of ice when he saw this.

Qu Ling did not dare to look up at him, he wiped the corner of her eyes with the back of his hand and choked with sobs: "When the sun rises, I will go and beg Grandma."

For a moment, the room was so quiet that only the woman's soft sobbing could be heard.

Xiao Jingyue lowered his gaze, covered the pain in his eyes, and released the hand that was holding her shoulders. He took out the serpent hairpin that he had brought with him for a long time, and gently inserted it into her bun.

After a long time, he recovered his voice and said in a hoarse voice, "It's late in the night. Get some rest."

With that, he turned around and walked towards the door with quick steps.

Qu Ling stared at his back, his mouth agape, wanting to say something.

However, the person in front of her was moving very quickly. In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared from her sight.

She suddenly thought of something and turned to look at the copper mirror.

When he saw the familiar serpent hairpin stuck in his bun, he instantly felt as if he was struck by lightning.

"What's your husband doing out so late?" Qu Ci walked in.

Qu Ling did not reply, and said in a muffled voice, "I heard what you said to Xiao Jingyue just now."

Qu Ci raised his eyebrows in surprise, "And then? What do you want to say?"

Qu Ling had lost her mother at a young age and her father at a young age. She was almost dragged along by her grandmother to grow up.

But respect was respect, even though he clearly knew in his heart that his grandmother's threat towards Xiao Jingyue and taking advantage of the situation to propose those conditions was for his own good, he couldn't help but feel that it was appropriate.

Previously, she was very proud of herself when she told Murong Shan that she would never force him.

The more Qu Ling thought about it, the more upset he became. He bowed his head even lower, "He promised me before that if I could cure the Gu poison in his body, he would give me and Li Shu freedom."

His Majesty bestowed the marriage upon them. Although they were bound, their hearts were still free, and there was still room for manoeuvre in the future.

But now, her grandmother actually threatened Xiao Jingyue to have him be loyal to her for his entire life.

In this way, it was clear that she was in terrible shape.

If he thought of her like that, wouldn't she become the kind of bad woman who was always acting behind her back, saying that she wanted to leave them and secretly forcing them to do the same thing?

She couldn't help but cry because of this.

Granny Yu said this for her own good, but to her, it was a matter that truly hurt her self-esteem.

Since when did she need to force others to exchange for what she wanted?

Qu Ci was so angry that his face turned green, and he coldly scolded: "What do you think marriage is? Is the biggest event of your lives going to be a joke for you!? "

Qu Ling was so scared that he shrunk back, not daring to make a sound.

"I will tell you this right now. Either you get married and swear to it, or he waits for his death!" After Qu Ci said this, he turned around and left, leaving the room with a loud "bang".

Qu Ling rubbed his nose, rubbed his aching ears, and stared at the closed door for a long time. He touched his hair bun, and took down the snake hairpin that he had lost.

It was unknown if it was because Xiao Jingyue had taken it away too long ago or if it was clearly still that hairpin, but she felt that something was different.

She turned her head and looked out the window at the deep night sky.

Xiao Yi and Xiao Er led the other Dark Guard to borrow an old house fifty meters away. Although it was a little crowded, it was much better than sleeping outside.

At night, when the temperature was low, a group of men surrounded the bonfire, chatting and opening their yellow mouths.

Just as they were deep in conversation, they suddenly heard faint footsteps coming from outside the door. Xiao Er immediately stood up with his sword raised, and the others all looked towards the direction of the door with rapt attention.

When they saw that it was Xiao Jingyue who entered, they all calmed down.

"Master!" All the Dark Guard immediately stood up and bowed.

Xiao Jingyue casually waved his hand and found a quiet place to sit.

The group looked at each other, and Xiao Er could not stand the looks of the other people, so he braced himself and walked over, and asked carefully: "Does the general have any orders?"

Xiao Jingyue said calmly: "If there's nothing else, please continue."

Xiao Er did not ask further.

With Xiao Jingyue here, all of the Dark Guard were cautious and didn't dare to continue.

Qu Ling didn't sleep at all that night, and he spent the entire night sitting on the bed with his knees bent.

The sky started to brighten as a familiar whisper came from downstairs.

After a moment, the stairs sounded as they were stepped on.

A petite figure appeared at the door of Qu Ling's bedroom, and pounced towards her.

Qu Ling turned his body without even raising his head.

The man threw himself through the air and dove into the quilt.

"Sister!"

The girl raised her head, pushed off the hair on her forehead, and unwillingly pounced at Qu Ling again.

This time, she pounced on Qu Ling and practically hung half of her body on Qu Ling, like a little kitten, she kept rubbing her head against her arm, a satisfied smile on her face.

Qu Ling glanced at her, then spoke with a faint voice: "Your hug makes me uncomfortable."

Hearing that, Ah Xin immediately let go, but he did not let go of her, holding her waist and moaning: "Sister, I missed you so much."

Qu Ling expressionlessly acknowledged him before gently pushing him aside and going to wash up.

After Xiao Jingyue went out last night, he hadn't returned. It was unknown whether or not he went to look for Xiao Yi and the others.

Many people in the village raised poisons. Hopefully, he wasn't poisoned to death by those poisons.

As Qu Ling was lost in thought, he suddenly heard Ah Xin ask, "Sister, Grandma said that Brother-in-law is here. Where is Brother-in-law?"
