His voice was incomparably gloomy, and Hong Jin could only feel her dress tearing apart behind her. A chill swept across her spine. She glanced at the curtain that was separated by only one door and her entire body tensed up.

"Nie Cangming!"

She screamed in shock, but it was too late. The man behind penetrated her as if a punishment. The pain made her teeth chatter and her legs fell down feebly.

Nie Cangming pressed her to the ground, his voice a little more passionate. "As long as you hand over the silkworm worm, I promise to take care of you for the rest of your life and fulfill my promise. Even if I don't love you, I will let you live a carefree life ... Why don't you listen to me?"

It wasn't that she didn't want to hand it over, but ...

The silkworm is her life.

Master said that he took her back from the king of hell. When she was young, she was born deficient and almost died in her mother's womb. It was because of silkworm that she could grow up smoothly.

If she didn't nourish her body with the silkworm that was already linked to her life, she would die ...

It was rumored that the silkworm could cure hundreds of diseases, but it was extremely difficult to breed and cultivate. She still remembered the countless hardships she had suffered when she was young to grow the silkworm.

That's why she's afraid of pain.

Later on, the silkworm merged with her, and she finally got rid of the painful memories. She didn't dare to think about the pain of taking the silkworm anymore.

She said that she would cure Feng Yun'er, but she did not say that she would give the worm to her.

She was still young and hadn't experienced the outside world yet, and she didn't want to die ...

Hong Jin gritted her teeth and did not say a word. Her breathing was heavy and she had to endure Nie Cangming's punishment.

She laid on the ground in a sorry state, her face pressed against the cold ground, and she didn't even have the strength to move her fingertips.

She also knew that Nie Cangming would not come over to hug her.

If she wanted to go back, she had to depend on herself.

"Hong Jin, think it yourself. Yun'er doesn't have much time left. You can't wait any longer. If you don't want me to burn the whole of Poison Valley, you can give me the silkworm yourself."

He said this, gently tidying his clothes.

"Your highness, Imperial Physician Xu asked you to come over. It's about your highness' condition."

Nie Cangming glanced at Hong Jin and knew that this was an urgent matter. He did not dare to delay and said to Hong Jin, "Go back on your own. Don't tarnish others' eyes!"

Hong Jin was indifferent to his words.

And it seemed that she didn't hear that.

The sound of the door closing sounded. Hong Jin knew that Nie Cangming had left, so she gathered her broken clothes and leaned against the pillar in a daze.

The beaded curtains fluttered as a yellow figure strolled towards Hong Jin. When Hong Jin raised her head, she saw that face that was somewhat similar to her, and she felt a little disgusted.

Perhaps it was because Feng Yun'er was the cause of her current pain, but Hong Jin knew that she shouldn't hate this person.

Yes, Feng Yun'er was innocent. What's wrong with her?

It was just that she overestimated herself and wanted to occupy someone selfishly, even if that person didn't like her.

The woman in yellow crouched down and stared at Hong Jin's face with a faint smile.

Suddenly, she reached out and placed her hand on Hong Jin's injured arm.

As if she had done it on purpose, she exerted a lot of strength until she felt the warm liquid soaking under her fingers. When she saw the painful expression on Hong Jin's face, she chuckled lightly. "It hurts a lot, isn't it? This silkworm is indeed a good thing. I tried my best to get it, my efforts count. If the servant girl beside me didn't see you cooking medicine with blood and flesh, I'm afraid I wouldn't even know that this silkworm is actually on you!"

Hong Jin moved her lips. Her face was pale, and her voice was extremely dry.

"You ... What are you talking about?"

There was a slight sneer on the gentle and beautiful face in front of her. Her fingertips brushed against Hong Jin's neck, and a disgusted expression flashed across her eyes. "Don't pretend to be so pure. You obviously have a way to heal my wounds, but you drag it on. You just want to compete with me for the prince, right? Don't you see who you are? How can you deserve Nie Cangming?"
