The translated text is: Zhuonanzi, sitting on the other side of the bed with her legs crossed, watched Lu Jin'an's surprised expression and a glint of pride flashed in her eyes.

    It's the first time I've seen the husband show such an uncontrolled expression. He's so adorable.

    If the roles were reversed, and it was me who was about to turn the husband into a sword spirit, would his expression be even more surprised and adorable?

    It's a pity that I was careless and let the husband strike first.

    Ah~ The husband hides too deeply, he hasn't shown any weaknesses at all, he's so skilled～

    Especially the idea that's the same as mine... It's just perfect, so compatible～

    This joy is too unwelcome, it feels like the accumulated happiness from the afternoon is reversing.

    Uncontrollably, moisture glistened in her eyes. After a moment of daydreaming, Zhu Nanzi gathered her thoughts and quickly turned her mind around.

    She doesn't want to be turned into a sword spirit by the husband, but at the moment, her spiritual power cannot be activated. After thinking it over, she concludes that the only solution to the current situation is to confront the husband and poison him.

    Zhu Nanzhi felt a twinge of sorrow in her heart. She had labored diligently and persevered for over half a year to win the favor of her husband, but in the end, all her efforts went to waste.

    But regret as she may, she absolutely could not be turned into a sword spirit that could do nothing with her husband!

    "No, you're lying to me!"

    Lu Jin'an's voice interrupted Zhu Nanzi's thoughts. Recovering from her daze, Zhu Nanzi pursed her red lips, composed her rapid breathing, and asked in a calm tone without giving it away: "What did the husband just say?"

    "I have been on guard against your mysterious kindness towards me. How could you have had the chance to poison me?" Lu Jin'an gradually calmed down: "What kind of poison would leave me feeling nothing? There's no need for you to waste any more time."

    "Husband, are you not also quietly poisoning me?" Zhu Nanzi lightly spoke: "I also used the same method as yours... and I've been doing so since half a year ago when I dedicated myself to you～"

    "The poison is made with virgin blood as bait and is my creation. It's normal for the husband not to discover it."

    Lu Jin'an furrowed his brow slightly, silent for a few seconds before tentatively asking: "Are you also planning to turn me into a sword spirit?"

    Hearing this, Zhu Nanzi's eyes suddenly lit up, her husband is too smart! She and her husband are truly a perfect match.

    Though she thought it, Zhu Nanzi spoke with a smile in her voice, "Husband, guess and see?"

    She thought, as long as the husband doesn't know her purpose, after the current crisis is resolved, his guard might possibly drop, giving her an opportunity to turn the husband into a sword spirit.

    If she said it, the husband would not only be on guard but what if he wanted to distance himself from her?

    "I won't guess!" Lu Jinan snorted coldly, "Regardless of what your purpose is, it's you who will be turned into a sword spirit!"

    'It's all because of the husband～'

    Zhu Nanzi glared at Lu Jin'an playfully, thinking that if the husband hadn't opened up and confessed some things to her yesterday, she would have been lying next to him tonight!

    After all, with the situation in the Nan Zhuo Domain, she had to leave tomorrow...

    Thinking about it, Zhu Nanzi looked at Lu Jin'an and asked, "Husband, have you finished dealing with the matters? It doesn't say it would take seven days?"

    "Guess how long I've been sleeping?"

    Zhu Nanzi was startled in her heart, but after feeling around, she calmed down: "Husband is teasing me again. If it's been seven days, the amount isn't enough～"

    Watching her place her right hand on her abdomen, Lu Jin'an chuckled: "Your method of timing is quite unique..."

    My business is not important. It's more important to turn you into a sword spirit."

    "Husband really cares about me～"

    Zhu Nanzi smiled idiotically, and saw Lu Jin'an suddenly accelerate the extension of the spell, directly unfolding the array of creating a sword spirit centered around the bed!

    ？？？

    Zhu Nanzi's expression stiffened: "Husband, you..."

    "Just consider it as you poisoning me internally." Lu Jin'an spoke calmly: "But now you can't use spiritual power, how can you activate the poison in my body?"

    "If you really have a way, why don't you show it? So the wife doesn't need to waste time anymore. It's already a big concession of mine to talk with you for so long."

    Zhu Nanzi felt a bit uneasy in her heart. Her self-created 'Locking Body Charm' based on the Qingmiao Palace manuals naturally required an 'indicator' to be activated, and anything involving an 'indicator' was related to spiritual power.

    "But now that my entire meridian system is sealed, I cannot activate spiritual power at all..."

    Beside panic, she also found that her heart was beating —— the calm husband who was not tied to emotions and still wanted to turn her into a sword spirit was great!

    No wonder the husband is a Saint of the Tongsheng Realm at such a young age... This calm decisiveness is too captivating.

    'No, now is not the time to be smitten.'

    Zhu Nanzi suppressed the thoughts in her mind and showed no signs of cracking on the surface. She glanced at the rising array, her expression composed and smile, "Once the husband's spiritual power comes into contact with my blood, he will understand that I haven't been lying."

    Creating a sword spirit cannot avoid the use of blood, because it requires the blood to blend with the soul.

    As she spoke, she glanced at the nearly depleted blood pool again, continuing in a calm tone: "This is the inner hall of the husband's medical shop, also located in the Blood Empress City, and among this gathering of magic cultivators' city, does the husband dare to bet on the consequences of losing spiritual power?"

    Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hesitation flashed in Lu Jin'an's eyes. Zhu Nanzi's heart began to settle down slightly. She gently straightened her back and displayed a weak and helpless look: "Husband will protect and cherish the wife, right?"

    She bet that the husband wouldn't dare to overestimate his abilities!

    Lu Jin'an's expression darkened slightly, turning his head to look at the blood pool. His lips twitched slightly, but soon he looked back at Zhu Nanzi: "I really don't want to let you go."

    Zhu Nanzi tilted her head to look at him, "Then what do you want to do, husband?"

    Lu Jin'an stared at Zhu Nanzi for a long time, waved his hand to dispel the spiritual power: "What kind of poison did you give me?"

    "Tell the husband, and the husband also can't solve it." Zhu Nanzi's smile became even more relaxed: "Only the wife can personally solve it."

    "I can't trust you!" Lu Jin'an said indifferently, then directly threw a milky white pill into her hand, expressionless: "Take it."

    Looking at the cold husband, Zhu Nanzi's heart skipped a beat. With her eyes misty from emotion, she felt like her bones were numb.

    At a time like this, the husband is still trying to seduce me…

    Zhu Nanzi picked up the pill, just as she was about to bring it to her lips, she remembered something and asked with a hint of anticipation, "Is the husband willing?"

    Lu Jin'an said indifferently, "You have no choice."

    Indeed～the cold husband who uses imperative tenses is also very appealing to her～This feeling is really nice～

    "Husband has said so, the wife is willing to endure it with joy."

    Zhu Nanzi smiled and placed the pill in her mouth, her eyes slightly closed. She had seen a different husband today, especially the cold husband who had also moved her greatly. She couldn't wait to see the contrast after turning him into a sword spirit in the future～

    "It has a creamy fragrance and is very sweet." Zhu Nanzi chewed unconsciously: "Is the husband sure this is poison?"

    "I myself refined the pill." Lu Jin'an said indifferently: "The sweeter the stronger the toxicity is hidden."

    Zhu Nanzi had no doubts, after all, the husband was also gambling on the future.

    "Zhu Nanzi has finished eating it," she pretended to lean forward and slightly parted her red lips, extending her tongue. She wanted her husband to see clearly that she had eaten the pill clean.

    Seeing the traces of the milky white pill on her tongue, Lu Jin'an's eye twitched. At a time like this, she was still trying to seduce...

    Lu Jin'an maintained his composure and raised his right hand to channel a stream of spiritual power into her frozen meridians, the movement was clean and efficient, indicating that he was at ease after she had taken the pill.

    "You can now mobilize a portion of your spiritual power. Start to detoxify yourself."

    Hearing the husband's voice, Zhu Nanzi sighed with regret in her heart. She didn't regret the year of revelry she had enjoyed every night, but she regretted not acting sooner than the husband, leading to her failure and being manipulated by him.

    "No wonder it's the husband I chose at first sight."

    Zhu Nanzi laughed softly and didn't continue to waste time and upset the husband, so she began to detoxify herself with her hands performing the seal.

    Lu Jin'an watched as Zhu Nanzi performed a magical incantation he had never seen before. Then, he felt countless tiny, transparent particles with a hint of red floating through his meridians.

    As the poison corresponding to Zhu Nanzi's realm is found, it no longer counts as a poison, so Lu Jin'an immediately dispelled the tiny particles scattered throughout his meridians with his spiritual power, feeling at ease!

    Everything is under control, and it's still better for herself!

    As for using the skill of reversing time as a dodging technique... It's also a power within her grasp, so it doesn't count as dodging!

    "Zhu Nanzi, our methods of poisoning are identical." Lu Jin'an joked with a more relaxed mood.

    "So the wife feels that the husband and she are a perfect match as if they were meant to be together." With the same tone of happiness, Zhu Nanzi, who was also removing the Ice Flower Poison from her body, said: "But still, the husband has a higher skill. The wife is still poisoned now."

    Lu Jin'an smiled, "Did the candy taste good?"

    Zhu Nanzi's smile froze on her face: "Sugar... sugar?"

    "Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

    Her breathing gradually became rapid. If she were a normal person, one would think she was on the verge of a tantrum after being tricked.

    But as Lu Jin'an has a deep understanding of Zhu Nanzi's illness, he doesn't think she is angry and stands calmly watching Zhu Nanzi's eyes gradually brighten up.

    "Master... Master... It's really..." Zhu Nanzi's cheeks flushed, her short breaths quickened. The long lashes of her shimmering blue eyes quivered slightly, and her infatuation and pathology seemed to have an odd attraction.

    She directly threw herself at Lu Jin'an, her voice filled with joy, "You really have me completely under your control～"

    Zhu Nanzi's reaction was beyond Lu Jin'an's expectation, but he did not catch the bird-like Zhu Nanzi, instead, he dodged to the side.

    "Why are you avoiding me?!" After missing her target, Zhu Nanzi stomped her foot and glared at Lu Jin'an with a pout: "Won't the wife eat the husband?"

    Lu Jin'an replied calmly, "The poison the wife planted uses a virgin's blood as an inciting factor. What if using my seminal fluid instead could also seal my meridians?"

    Lu Jin'an looked at Zhu Nanzi calmly. Now that the poison has been dispelled, what remains for her is to train her into a worshipping type of illness.

    In this matter, I need to be even more careful and prudent!

    Zhu Nanzi bit her lip: "The wife just wanted to hug the husband..."

    Lu Jin'an remained indifferent and changed the subject: "Zhu Nanzi, did you come to the Nanzhuo Domain for a purpose? Did you finish the matter?"

    Upon hearing this, Zhu Nanzi's pupils constricted: "What does the husband mean by saying that? Does he want to end things well with the wife?"

    She paused for a moment and then shook her head by herself: "No, if the husband really wants to part amicably with the wife, he wouldn't want to refine the wife into a sword spirit, nor would he still call the wife 'madam' after detoxifying..."

    Is the husband still concerned about the wife, isn't that right?"

    "Yes." Lu Jin'an did not deny: "Even though we have not shared our hearts, it has been so long, and it's impossible to be completely indifferent."

    "The wife likes the husband more than the husband likes the wife!" Zhu Nanzi emphasized seriously: "Because the wife fell in love first!"

    "Roused by desires, it's because of your body..." Lu Jin'an smiled faintly. But before he could finish, Zhu Nanzi interrupted his voice: "Heartbeat acceleration means being touched by love!"

    "So, I'm also tempted by your body." Lu Jin'an walked to the blood pool and took the short sword while also removing the array that extracts pure blood.

    Zhu Nanzi watched his profile, and softly spoke, "Is the husband willing to part with the wife?"

    Lu Jin'an turned to look at her, "If you don't want to leave, come with me?"

    Zhu Nanzi's heart fluttered. She was very much inclined to do so, as this would allow her to stay by the husband's side without turning him into a sword spirit. However, although she was moved, she would not actually do it.

    My parents passed away early, and I was brought back to the palace by the Lord of Qingmiao Palace, who educated me with great care. Over the years, the Lord has been both a strict teacher and a kind mother. The gratitude I owe her is immense, and how could I do anything that would be ungrateful for her nurturing?

    Zhu Nanzi smiled and said, "The wife really wants to live together with the husband, but she cannot do so."

    Lu Jin'an quietly looked at her: "So that's why you want to poison me and take me away?"

    "It can be said that way," Zhu Nanzi said softly, her eyes filled with longing as she looked at Lu Jin'an, "I can't do anything to displease my mentor... My mentor is a woman!"

    Watching Zhu Nanzi's hurried pace of speaking and emphasizing, Lu Jin'an couldn't help but smile. Seeing him smiling, Zhu Nanzi couldn't help but give him a stern look: "The wife... People are thinking about you!"

    "I'm happy, isn't that it?"

    "I don't think so," Zhu Nanzi huffed. "I know you're more afraid of me now, because you don't know why I poisoned you, right?"

    "Yes," Lu Jin'an honestly admitted.

    "That's fine," Zhu Nanzi looked as if she knew what he was thinking: "I will make you fall in love with me completely, even if you know my purpose for poisoning, you will willingly like it."

    "Make love first, talk about feelings later?"

    "Why should I be afraid of you now?" Zhu Nanzi crossed her arms: "I'm not afraid of you suddenly giving me another poison, so... that's how it is."

    Lu Jin'an's eyelids flickered, and after a long time, he bowed to Zhu Nanzi: "Zhu Xiannv, see you later."

    Zhu Nanzi bit her lower lip, and a layer of mist gathered in her azure waterlike eyes. She opened her mouth to say something, but seeing him bow gracefully, she became fixated again.

    'The husband is too polite, his bowing motion is so standard, and it's clear he has good upbringing... If he made a bow at the wedding ceremony, he definitely wouldn't let you escape...'

    "Master..." She softly opened her mouth.

    "Hmm?" Lu Jin'an looked up, noticing Zhu Nanzi's cheeks flushed and her eyes slightly blurred as she slowly lifted the hem of her skirt, revealing her pair of flawless, plump white legs.

    Lu Jin'an's expression froze, and he saw Zhu Nanzi change her stance and lift her skirt with one hand, pointing to the sky with the other hand in a bold and slow gesture of a 'Yeah' sign.

    His gaze immediately focused on her long and moist fingers.

    "Master~ Before you leave, wouldn't you want to ease the wife's longing for you first?"
