Upon hearing Ye Leng’an’s words, Lian Zixin’s face turned a dismal shade of gray, and her eyes mirrored sheer despair. Her entire being seemed to have lost all vitality.

At present, she was in pain all over, and even speaking required almost all her strength. She dared not contemplate her future, especially enduring the torment of Drunken Beauty for forty-nine days. Throughout these forty-nine days, suicide wasn’t an option, leaving her with no choice but to endure.

In forty-nine days, she would transform into something neither human nor ghost.

The only hope for her salvation was the Ye family, but considering her past act of switching children, they were inclined to end her life instead. Why would they be willing to save her now?

Observing Lian Zixin’s anguish, Ye Leng’an persisted, not letting up with her words that cut like a double-edged sword. “Initially, I didn’t intend to use poison against you. However, since you first employed poison against me, not retaliating in kind would make me seem naive. So, now you’ve tasted the poison you intended for me. Doesn’t it feel satisfying? Do you think this is karma?”

Already severely injured and now poisoned, Lian Zixin once again coughed up a mouthful of blood, hearing Ye Leng’an’s sarcastic words.

She was so weakened that she could barely speak. Yet, even in this state, she couldn’t faint. Drunken Beauty had a distinct characteristic – the poisoned person remained fully conscious throughout the entire process.

Thus, many individuals, after enduring the agonizing forty-nine days, were on the brink of collapse, with some even descending into madness.

Ye Leng’an crouched down, stuffing a pill into Lian Zixin’s mouth. Subsequently, the wound on her abdomen ceased bleeding.

Of course, her intentions were far from benevolent. She simply didn’t want Lian Zixin to meet a swift demise. Allowing her to continue living became the ultimate punishment.

Soon after, Ye Leng’an summoned others and instructed them to return Lian Zixin the way she was brought in.

Before long, everything returned to an eerie calmness, as if nothing had occurred. Only the pool of blood on the ground vividly marked Lian Zixin’s fate.

Even in such a gruesome environment, Ye Leng’an casually sat at a stone table, sipping tea, appearing somewhat out of place.

Huangfu Ruiling quickly entered. Seeing the blood on the ground, he raised an eyebrow, saying nothing. He silently took a seat opposite Ye Leng’an, poured himself tea, and then calmly asked, “Has the matter been resolved?”

“Yeah.” Ye Leng’an nodded, smiling. “The grudge between Lian Zixin and me can be considered settled. She swapped me at birth, altering my destiny. Therefore, she’s going to spend the rest of her life atoning. I find it satisfying.”

Being afflicted with the Drunken Beauty poison, Lian Zixin’s ensuing life difficulties were foreseeable. If she dared to commit suicide, Ye Leng’an wouldn’t stop her.

“Are you happy?” Huangfu Ruiling didn’t care about Lian Zixin’s fate; his concern was solely about Ye Leng’an’s emotional state.

“Of course.” Ye Leng’an nodded, smiling. “I’m only happy when she’s barely hanging on.”

At this moment, Ye Leng’an suddenly lifted her head, gazing at Huangfu Ruiling, who sat across from her. Her smile grew brighter. “How about it? Do you think I’m quite vicious?”

“Very endearing.” Observing Ye Leng’an’s smile, Huangfu Ruiling’s lips formed a fond curve. “I like your vengeful nature. You look truly adorable now.”

Hearing Huangfu Ruiling’s words, Ye Leng’an couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “Is this the saying that beauty is in the eye of the beholder? Probably only you would find me cute like this.”

Huangfu Ruiling reached out, encircling Ye Leng’an’s waist. Leaning in, he whispered in her ear, “No matter what you do, in my eyes, you are the cutest.”

Feeling the warm breath beside her ear, Ye Leng’an’s heart trembled. She struggled, wanting to break free, but the hands around her waist were like a pair of pliers, rendering her motionless.

“Release me first.” Ye Leng’an’s tone carried a hint of playfulness.

“Why? Are you shy?” Huangfu Ruiling’s magnetic voice held a trace of mockery. “I didn’t expect you to be so shy!”

“I’m not!”

Even if she were, she wouldn’t admit it.

Ye Leng’an raised her head, looking at the perfect face in front of her. She couldn’t help but be momentarily dazed. However, she quickly regained her composure. “I won’t be embarra.s.sed by such a trivial thing!”

Huangfu Ruiling also noticed Ye Leng’an’s momentary distraction. A hint of a smile flashed in his eyes, but he didn’t say anything. However, Ye Leng’an’s subsequent actions made him widen his eyes.

Ye Leng’an directly grabbed Huangfu Ruiling’s collar, pulled him down, and kissed him on the lips.

Such an abrupt move surprised even Huangfu Ruiling. By the time he reacted, she had already pulled back.

Looking at his bewildered expression, Ye Leng’an’s face formed a bright smile. She then asked, “What’s wrong? Are you shy? You dared to say that to me just now.”

Her tone exuded pride.

Upon hearing her words, Huangfu Ruiling chuckled and said, “That wasn’t a kiss!”

“Huh?” Ye Leng’an didn’t comprehend his meaning. A trace of doubt flickered in her eyes, and her expression appeared somewhat bewildered.

Huangfu Ruiling’s lips curled into a slight curve. Then, he directly held her waist and pulled her into his arms.

While Ye Leng’an was still in a daze, forgetting to resist, Huangfu Ruiling grabbed her hand, hooked it around his neck, and swiftly kissed her lips, skillfully parting her teeth for a deep, pa.s.sionate kiss.

Her entire body went numb in that kiss. Her head was spinning, and she gradually forgot to resist, reflexively kissing him back.
