Chapter 52: Farewell to Mu Li, Activate the Love Poison!
"Su Su, go rest first."
Ning Ye gently rubbed Su Su's silver hair and spoke softly. What was about to happen was not suitable for the Little Girl to see.
"Oh, okay."
Su Su nodded obediently upon hearing this, then yawned and turned to walk into the side room of the small courtyard.
[Name: Mu Li]
[Age: 24 years old]
[Cultivation: Legend Seven Realms]
[Identity: Saintess of Yin Yang Sect {Love Gu effect makes her a Love Slave}]
[Bloodline: Charm Spirit Saint Body]
[Beloved: Ning Ye {Love Gu effect}]
[System Notification: Host can activate the Love Gu at any time.]
After casually glancing at Mu Li's panel, Ning Ye couldn't help but smile. He wanted to see what Mu Li intended to do tonight, so he spoke with a half-smile and sighed.
"It is getting late."
"Third Princess Consort, Your Highness, you truly are full of energy."
Bastard.
Upon hearing this, Mu Li glared fiercely at Ning Ye. She still remembered saying those exact words to Ning Ye that night in the Crown Prince's bedchamber.
Now Ning Ye was returning those words to her. Was he mocking her?
Hoo.
Mu Li took a deep breath, calming the irritation in her heart. She then moved her lotus steps lightly and slowly walked in front of Ning Ye to question him.
"After that night, where did you go?"
Ah?
Ning Ye shrugged his shoulders upon hearing this. He looked at Mu Li innocently and asked in return.
"Which night?"
"What 'where did I go'?"
"What is Third Princess Consort, Your Highness, talking about?"
You!
Mu Li looked at Ning Ye's feigned ignorance and his 'I don't know anything' act. The anger in her heart instantly flared up by three points.
She gritted her silver teeth and sternly rebuked him.
"Ning Ye."
"Are you really going to speak to this Princess Consort like this?"
"What happened that night, you and I both know."
"This Princess Consort asks again: after leaving the Eastern Palace, where did you go?"
Hehe.
Ning Ye shook his head and smiled. He then responded blandly with four words.
"What does it have to do with you?"
As his words fell, Mu Li's pretty face instantly turned cold. Her red lips parted as she yelled angrily.
"You took the secret jade from the Scripture Pavilion, didn't you."
"You also ransacked the Forbidden Land of the Scripture Pavilion, didn't you."
"And the one who killed the Third Prince and the Third Princess Consort was you."
"Am I right?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Ye shook his head and spoke very casually.
"Third Princess Consort, Your Highness."
"You shouldn't speak such nonsense."
"You know what kind of person I am, don't you?"
"Do I look like the kind of madman who would ransack the Scripture Pavilion and even dare to kill a Prince?"
Shameless.
Mu Li glared fiercely at Ning Ye. For a moment, she was speechless.
In fact, she had come tonight to activate the Love Gu and control Ning Ye. But for some reason, as soon as she saw Ning Ye, she felt a surge of anger and an inexplicable desire to lash out at him.
Hoo.
Mu Li took a deep breath, suppressing the irritation in her heart, and then spoke.
"Let's put aside the matter of the Scripture Pavilion for now."
"Today, this Princess Consort has come to find you for something."
Ah?
Ning Ye's playful mood surged upon hearing this. He feigned a profound expression and earnestly advised Mu Li.
"Third Princess Consort, Your Highness."
"That night... was an accident."
"Hmm... like a dream."
"After the dream, just forget it."
"Tonight, you and I absolutely must not repeat the same mistake."
Repeat... the same mistake?
When Mu Li heard these four words, a flush of crimson appeared on her cheeks. This wasn't from shyness, but from anger.
What did Ning Ye take her for? Was she one of those insatiable women?
However, after repeatedly suppressing herself, she managed to hold back. Her red lips parted as she coldly mocked Ning Ye.
"It seems Tenth Prince, Your Highness, hasn't forgotten."
"This Princess Consort thought Your Highness had amnesia."
Hehehe.
Ning Ye smiled and shook his head, saying nothing more. He just quietly looked at Mu Li.
Mu Li then directly asked.
"Tenth Prince, Your Highness."
"Tonight, this Princess Consort has a matter that I would like to ask for your help with."
"I wonder if Your Highness would agree?"
"Tell me."
Ning Ye shrugged his shoulders indifferently. He wanted to see what Mu Li truly intended to do.
Hoo.
Mu Li took a deep breath, cleared her thoughts, and then spoke.
"Tonight, the Second Prince will arrive in Wudu."
"And then?"
Ning Ye looked at Mu Li with a puzzled expression, wondering what the Second Prince's return had to do with him.
"This Princess Consort wants you to... kill him."
Mu Li stared intently into Ning Ye's eyes, her red lips parting slightly.
"Reason?"
Ning Ye uttered two words blandly upon hearing this.
"Hehehe."
"There is no reason."
"Second Prince, you must kill him, whether you want to or not."
"Because this is this Princess Consort's command."
After Mu Li spoke, a hint of crimson light flashed in her eyes. As she lightly raised her jade hand, she formed a Gu seal.
Clearly, she was activating the Love Gu, intending to completely control Ning Ye.
"Has it finally begun?"
Ning Ye raised an eyebrow, a playful arc forming on his lips as he lightly sighed.
"The Yin Yang Sect's Love Gu."
"It truly lives up to its reputation."
You!
Mu Li's expression froze when she heard the words "Love Gu" from Ning Ye's mouth. An ominous premonition surged in her heart.
"Hahahahaha."
"Third Princess Consort, Your Highness."
"Love Gu isn't used like that."
"Come, come."
"Let me teach you."
Ning Ye smiled and shook his head. He then issued a command in his mind: activate the Love Gu.
[Ding! System notification, Love Gu has been activated.]
The moment the System's voice fell, the dazzling light in Mu Li's beautiful eyes completely vanished. She only felt her body inexplicably weakening, dizzy and disoriented.
Immediately after, she felt a sense of weightlessness, as if her Divine Soul was slowly detaching from her control. In the end, when a heart-wrenching pain spread from her chest to all her limbs and bones, her fate seemed already sealed and unchangeable.
Ugh, ah!
Mu Li furrowed her moth-like brows, grunted, and clutched her chest as she knelt on the ground. When she looked up at Ning Ye, her once clear, flawless, and lofty eyes constantly changed.
She seemed to realize something.
"Love Gu... this is Love Gu."
The thought stopped there.
Mu Li's throat bobbed. She didn't understand what was happening.
That night, she had used her body as a vessel, so she should have planted the Love Poison in Ning Ye, right? But why was she the one suffering now?
"Ning Ye."
"What have you done to this Princess Consort?"
"How do you possess the Love Gu?"
"And how did this Princess Consort get poisoned by the Love Gu?"
Mu Li's voice trembled as she spoke. She was a member of the Yin Yang Sect and had cultivated the Love Gu since childhood, so she knew the terrifying nature of the Love Gu.
Now that the Love Poison had entered her body, it would slowly seep into her Divine Soul. In the end, she would completely become Ning Ye's Love Slave, controlled by him.
At that time, Ning Ye's words would be destiny to her, something she could never disobey.
"What do you think?"
"Third Princess Consort, Your Highness."
Ning Ye stood with his hands behind his back, calmly looking at Mu Li. The smile on his face grew wider.
"Ning Ye."
"This Princess Consort... this Princess Consort will kill you."
"Absolutely... will kill you."
Mu Li felt the tingling sensation seeping into her Divine Soul and seemed to realize something. Her beautiful eyes filled with tears as she roared at Ning Ye.
At the same time, a cold despair spread from her heart. If this continued, she was afraid she would truly have to serve Ning Ye as her master.
