Chapter 53: The Love Poison is Activated and the Crown Princess Suffers a Great Loss!
Hearing this, Ning Ye shook his head, ignoring Mu Li's harsh words. He thought that since Mu Li was now afflicted with the Love Gu, it was time for him to personally test the peculiar power of the Love Gu.
"Hmm..."
"I'll just try a little bit."
With that thought, Ning Ye squatted down and reached out a finger to gently poke Mu Li's cheek.
Mu Li trembled, her entire body going numb. She could feel her heart pounding uncontrollably. If Ning Ye went any further, she feared she would truly lose control and succumb.
"Don't... don't touch me!"
Mu Li reprimanded him coldly, pushing away Ning Ye's hand. Tears welled up in her eyes, dampening her exquisitely beautiful face, and despair filled her heart.
This time, she had personally experienced... what it meant to consciously fall. This was the terrifying aspect of the Love Poison.
"This Love Gu... it's something else!"
Ning Ye gazed at the blushing Mu Li and couldn't help but exclaim. He hadn't expected such a strong reaction from Mu Li to a simple touch, even causing her affection value to increase slightly.
Then, he pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Alright!"
"Crown Princess, tell me!"
"Why do you want me to kill the Second Prince?"
"Get lost!"
Mu Li gritted her teeth and snapped, clearly unwilling to give in.
"It seems the intensity... is still not enough!"
Ning Ye nodded thoughtfully. Then, as if he remembered something, he lifted Mu Li into a princess carry and walked towards the banyan tree.
"Ning Ye, what do you want to do?"
"If you dare to act recklessly, this Princess will surely kill you!"
"Let this Princess go quickly!"
Mu Li yelled at Ning Ye, her face full of resentment. She wanted to circulate the Moon Yuan within her body to resist, but being held in Ning Ye's arms, she felt weak all over. Her strength seemed frozen, rendering her unable to circulate it at all. It seemed she could only let him do as he pleased.
At this moment, although she hadn't completely become Ning Ye's love slave, she could never kill him. As soon as she harbored murderous intent, the power in her body would automatically freeze. This was the magic of the Love Gu.
"Shut up!"
Ning Ye frowned upon hearing this, then directly threw her down under the banyan tree, subsequently looking down from above at this formerly high and mighty, noble, and cold Crown Princess.
"You... what do you want to do?"
Mu Li's beautiful eyes trembled as she looked at Ning Ye, a bad premonition rising in her heart. She wondered if this guy was going to... do that with her here?
Here? Under this banyan tree?
Just as she was panicking, Ning Ye moved. He reached out and grabbed Mu Li's delicate wrist, pulled hard, and pinned her against the banyan tree with his elbow.
"Will you speak or not?"
Ning Ye asked one last time.
"You... kill me!"
Mu Li tightly closed her eyes. If she could, she would rather commit suicide than suffer Ning Ye's humiliation, but the terrifying aspect of the Love Gu was that she couldn't even commit suicide. So, at this moment, her heart was almost completely filled with despair.
The moment her voice fell, Ning Ye nodded. He then changed his palm into a finger and directly pointed it at the center of Mu Li's upper back.
Zheng!
The Love Gu activated.
Ah!!!!
Mu Li suddenly opened her eyes. At this moment, she only felt a piercing pain spreading through her body, gradually diffusing to all her limbs and bones.
Then came the sensation of tens of thousands of ants and poisonous insects crawling and biting her flesh, piercing into her Divine Soul. It instantly made her scalp tingle and her body tremble wildly.
This was the Love Gu. Activating the Love Gu made her suffer the torment of ten thousand insects devouring her body, a fate worse than death.
At first, Mu Li could still endure it. Even Ning Ye was amazed by the Crown Princess's endurance.
"Crown Princess!"
"Will you speak or not?"
Ning Ye frowned and asked again. As his voice fell, Ning Ye heard... drip... drop... the sound of tears falling to the ground.
"This woman... actually cried!"
Ning Ye was stunned, thinking that this Crown Princess had, after all, reached her limit.
"Bastard!"
"Ning Ye, you're a bastard!"
Mu Li trembled, her delicate teeth biting her flower-like lips, her voice choked with sobs as she angrily reprimanded Ning Ye. She wondered how there could be such a hateful man in this world.
Did this guy not understand the four words 'cherish and pity women'?
"Mmm hmm!"
Ning Ye did not deny this.
"Bastard!!"
Mu Li, her eyes full of tears, glared fiercely at Ning Ye again.
After a long while, she finally calmed down. A decisive gleam flashed in her beautiful eyes. Perhaps because of the effect of the Love Gu, or perhaps because she had figured some things out, she finally struggled to get up.
Her jade hands tightly clenched into fists, and she looked at Ning Ye with no joy or sorrow, speaking.
"Ning Ye... if you let me go, I will tell you everything I know!"
"Good!"
Ning Ye agreed without a second thought.
"Phew!"
Mu Li, hearing this, couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. She was inherently proud and would never become someone else's slave.
Even if it meant betraying her Master, she was willing. Besides, she had no feelings for the Yin Yang Sect anyway. If she betrayed them, then so be it. It was better than suffering such torment.
She thought that once this matter was over, she would leave Wudu, stay far away from the Yin Yang Sect and Ning Ye, and preferably never see them again.
After another moment of hesitation, Mu Li's red lips parted slightly, and she slowly revealed Mu Lingxi's plan.
"Ning Ye, listen carefully!"
"Master's plan is... for you to kill the Second Prince."
"After the Second Prince dies, she will use the excuse of regicide to rally the entire Junlin Dynasty's power to attack the Jun Family."
"After that, she will have you infiltrate the Sacred Mountain and become a hidden agent for our Yin Yang Sect."
"Finally, she will use you to scheme against the Nine Heavens Wind and Rain Tower."
Hearing this, Ning Ye nodded. What Mu Li said was almost exactly what he had guessed.
"Are you satisfied?"
"Can you let this Princess go now?"
Mu Li asked, staring blankly at Ning Ye.
"Alright!"
"You may leave!"
Ning Ye waved his hand grandly.
"Hmm?"
Mu Li, hearing this, stood rooted to the spot in disbelief. She hadn't expected Ning Ye to actually let her go.
However, no matter what, this was good news. With that thought, she turned and left without another word, not daring to linger for a moment. She had a premonition that Wudu, no, the entire Imperial Dynasty, was about to descend into chaos, and her goal was to remain as untouched as possible.
Watching Mu Li leave, Ning Ye couldn't help but stretch. He thought to himself that this woman was adorably naive.
How could he possibly let go of a Crown Princess with such high utility value, who was already in the palm of his hand?
Hehehe!
Ning Ye laughed and shook his head. Just as he was about to return to his room to rest, a playful and teasing voice echoed through the West Courtyard.
"The moonlight is truly beautiful!"
"Tenth Prince Your Highness, you're really enjoying yourself tonight!"
Ning Ye's footsteps halted when he heard this voice. He turned his head and saw a graceful figure had silently arrived in the small courtyard.
She stood with her hands behind her back under the banyan tree. Moonlight pierced through the leaves, casting countless leaf shadows that fell upon her exquisitely cold and stunning face, making her appear extremely beautiful and captivating.
She was smiling, a very teasing and playful smile.
"Jun Qianyue!"
"This woman was indeed peeking!"
Ning Ye sighed helplessly.
