Shen Qiuyang asked, "Benefactor, please clear up my confusion. What exactly is your relationship with her?" She cared deeply about this matter. Even though her heart harbored numerous conjectures, the fact that Benefactor didn’t even know about the other party being seriously affected by Gu Pills was just too... Zhi Chen furrowed his brow, "She... is the Liang family’s fiancée." "She..." Zhi Chen paused, his expression growing increasingly strained. "Ah?" Shen Qiuyang was stunned. Zhi Chen pressed his temples. "I’ll go check on her." After speaking, he set down his chopsticks and bowl and walked toward the room next door. The moment Dong Huiying entered her work mode, her mental focus became highly concentrated. In a flash, night had fallen. Zhi Chen carried an oil lamp, quietly watching; he didn’t disturb her. Under the dim light of the oil lamp, her long hair shone with a mysterious and beautiful luster, exuding a very special charm with every move she made. With her expression serious and solemn, he suddenly understood why Shujun and the others had developed feelings for this young woman. There is no love without reason, just as there is no hate without cause. There’s bound to be an effect where there is a cause. Once, because of her ruthless actions, they held resentment, anger, and even hatred in their hearts. Take Shujun as an example, many things had happened between her and Shujun, some of which he only learned about later. For instance, Shujun once fought a fierce bear on the mountain to save Little Liu and later battled a pack of wolves. It was a certain death situation, but she resolved Shujun’s deadly peril and even saved her when she was near death. Just this one act was enough to make Shujun grateful. Perhaps it was from then on that Shujun let go of past grievances under the weight of the life-saving grace. Later, she ran away from home, and her brothers went out one after another to look for her. Zhi Chen had also inquired in Taihang Town, but due to a twist of fate, he learned that there had been a corpse-burning case in the town. In that incident, she played an important role, assisting Officer Fang in the investigation and rescuing Shujun, who had been abducted by Tie Hailan. These two significant events tied together, and she had already occupied a special place in Shujun’s heart. Zhi Chen thought that under those circumstances, falling in love with her wouldn’t be difficult. And if those things had happened to him, perhaps he too would have developed a fondness for her and unconsciously start having feelings for her, right? The sound of poisonous insects fighting and biting came from the clay pot; the end was now drawing near. Dong Huiying was a bit nervous, she clenched her tiny fists slightly, and afterward, she even dared not blink, staring intently at the clay pot. Finally, the battle had a winner, and she immediately picked out a plump Gu king from the pot and happily turned it into a pill that she swallowed. Zhi Chen, seeing her , was really a bit worried. After all, she had previously poured a considerable amount of poisonous liquid made from toxic herbs into it, including some with incredibly strong corrosive properties. Accidental drips on the table had burned a big hole through it. But as he looked at her joyful face, the moment he thought to stop her, he clenched his fists and forcibly held himself in place. After swallowing the Gu Pill, she savored it for a bit. This Gu Pill was refined from a Gu king, far more powerful than any other pills she had taken before. Her complexion turned pale with a rosy flush, but blue veins began to appear on her neck, gradually turning purple, creeping up her face like slender vines. Time passed for quite a while. Suddenly opening her eyes, although the purple in her pupils had deepened, her expression was very frustrated. "Not enough, it’s still not enough!"
