"You're really bold, You'er. Or are you this feisty even when you're with Rong Xun?"
He reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his lips, then stood up and wiped the fresh blood from Tang Youyou's mouth. Then he said, "Is my blood that sweet?"
Tang Youyou looked at the crazy man in front of her and remembered what Xiaoying had said. This man really wanted her dead. She must be more careful.
"What on earth do you want before you'll let us go?"
"It's simple. As long as you drink this medicine, I'll let you all go."
Tang Youyou would never drink this medicine. She was now praying that Rong Xun would find them soon. Otherwise, the two of them wouldn't be able to walk out of this place alive today.
"Don't worry. No one knows about this place except me. That Rong Xun won't be able to find you."
Tang Youyou couldn't see outside and had no idea where this was. The most important thing now was to keep the three of them alive.
"How do you know the child in my belly must be Rong Xun's?"
Rong Jiangyu didn't expect her to say such a thing.
"If it's not that Rong Xun's, then whose could it be?"
A hint of mockery appeared on Tang Youyou's lips. "When I got pregnant, that Rong Xun was still lovey - dovey with his childhood sweetheart. How could this be his child?"
Seeing Rong Jiangyu's expression calm down a bit, she continued, "It wasn't Rong Xun who was always by my side at that time."
Rong Jiangyu knew that it was Ye Yue who had always been with Tang Youyou. He turned to look at the man who had been tortured into unconsciousness.
"It's impossible. How could you possibly fall for him?"
Tang Youyou snorted. "Fall for him? Does it have to be love for people to have fun together? I was just too lonely. I just needed someone to relieve my emptiness. At first, I wanted to find a handsome male prostitute, but the thought of them sharing a bed with other women made me sick. That's why I took a fancy to this young Ye Yue."
At this moment, Tang Youyou felt extremely sorry for Ye Yue in her heart. But she had no other choice.
"You're lying, You'er. Don't make up lies to deceive this king."
"Why would I lie to you? Not long after I found out I was pregnant, I immediately found a way to sleep with Rong Xun and made him believe that the child was his. In this way, I could ensure the safety and a good life for me and my child."
Tang Youyou was as good at making up lies as ever. She could make them up without hesitation.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll tell Rong Xun these things?"
"Do as you please. Anyway, he won't believe it. He'll only think that these words are lies you made up to get me. Rong Xun may seem smart, but he's not. As long as you're sincere to him, he'll be good to you in return. Then you can get whatever you want. He's really a fool."
Rong Jiangyu really calmed down at this moment. He put down the medicinal soup in his hand and approached Tang Youyou again.
"So you're such a woman."
Tang Youyou looked disdainful and even pretended to show her true nature.
"What's wrong with me? Everyone wants to live as they please. I'm just using my own abilities to get what I want. If you can give me what I want, I can choose you too."
Seeing that the man was a bit shaken, Tang Youyou added fuel to the fire.
"If it had been you who accompanied me when I was lonely, the child in my belly would have called you daddy when he was born. But it doesn't matter that it's not you. I never intended for him to recognize his father anyway. My child has me, and that's enough."
Tang Youyou showed a satisfied smile, as if she were the extremely evil villain.
Seeing that Rong Jiangyu was shocked by her words, she gave a triumphant smile, further confirming her reputation as a heart - breaker, although she wasn't one.
"So you got close to Rong Xun just for his power and influence?"
"Not entirely. Of course, he's also good - looking. It would be even better if I could take his place. If you could help me— that would be great. Then I could even let my child recognize you as a godfather."
Rong Jiangyu looked at her in disbelief. Then he looked at the half - dead Ye Yue, picked up the knife on the table, and was about to stab Ye Yue.
"What are you doing!"
Tang Youyou shouted. If this knife went down, the extremely weak man would probably die.
"You can't kill the child's real father. If he dies, my child won't survive either."
Tang Youyou explained, "I used to be the saintess of the Blood Clan. At that time, the elders of the Blood Clan banned me from having children for life. If I got pregnant, the child would surely die within a hundred days after birth. Since I found out I was pregnant, I've been researching day and night on how to get rid of this poisonous curse."
"What's the method?"
"On the day my child is born, I need to use this man's heart blood as a catalyst, along with the scales of the Kirin Beast on Shennong Mountain, and boil them into medicine. Feed it to the child for exactly forty - nine days, and then the poisonous insects in my child's body can be drawn out."
Tang Youyou looked at him firmly. "So he can't die. If you don't believe me, you can go to the Blood Clan to verify the truth of my words."
After saying this, she felt a bit nervous. If this man really went to check, wouldn't her lie be exposed? But at this moment, she couldn't care less. The most important thing now was to buy some time.
Rong Jiangyu didn't continue to pay attention to her. Instead, he walked out of the door. This made Tang Youyou even more scared. This man might really send someone to check.
Taking this opportunity, she had to find a way to escape quickly. But what about Ye Yue? If she escaped and this man came back and found out, Ye Yue would surely die.
She wracked her brains but couldn't come up with a good idea. Time was passing by bit by bit. Tang Youyou prayed in her heart over and over again that Rong Xun would find this place soon.
Tang Youyou tried her best to curl up and move towards the window. She saw that it was all white around. When she realized it, she found that they were actually on a mountain peak.
There was nothing around, only white clouds. And even if she shouted her throat out, no one would hear her. This was really a "good place".
"I wonder if Rong Xun can find us."
Tang Youyou sighed helplessly. She regretted going out for shopping. Who would have thought that she would meet this guy there? She was really unlucky.
Where was Rong Xun now? She missed the days when Rong Xun was by her side very much. She felt safe with him. He would surely protect her no matter what happened.
"Master, the mistress is on the mountain now. But the mountain is full of Rong Jiangyu's ambushes and men. If we go up rashly, we may fall into their trap."
"How is You'er?"
"The mistress is still safe for now, but Ye Yue is seriously injured and unconscious."
When Wen Xue saw Ye Yue, who was like a blood - covered man, he almost lost his temper. He suppressed the wildness in his body with his remaining rationality.
He knew that if they rushed in rashly, they would surely fall into their trap. It would be easy to go up the mountain but difficult to come down.
