Lin Huai poured me a cup of tea and fed it to me.

The feigned death had made me thirsty for too long. I drank the tea quickly and accidentally choked on it.

The tea slid down my smooth neck and spread across my chest, soaking a large area of my clothes.

Lin Huai's eyes were deep and profound.

He took out a handkerchief and helped me wipe it off.

"Madam would rather believe Ouyang Qi than her own husband."

From the cheeks to the neck.

"Even abandoning her husband and children."

From the neck to the collarbone.

"You deserve punishment."

My face turned red, my heart raced, and I held his hand begging for mercy.

However, he remained calm, appearing as a dignified and upright gentleman.

I looked at him with a pitiful expression, whimpering and pretending to cry, "All the mistakes, big or small, are my fault... But I'm also afraid of making a big mistake that would implicate you."

Lin Huai stared at me with a complex expression for a long time, and whispered, "Why are you still so silly?"

I was confused and didn't know how to respond.

Seeing his mood slightly soften, I quickly threw myself into his arms and hugged him affectionately.

Thus, a family crisis was resolved.

A few days later, Shu Mountain hosted a grand banquet to entertain distinguished guests.

However, I didn't expect that the so-called distinguished guest would turn out to be Ouyang Qi, the person who gave me the feigned death potion.

He had transformed into the esteemed crown prince of the dynasty.

If I hadn't been brought to Shu Mountain by Lin Huai, and if I had successfully reached the imperial city...

Then the person I would most likely have to seduce would either be the emperor or the crown prince, Ouyang Qi.

Thinking about this made me feel nauseous.

Ouyang Qi came representing the emperor to commend the Shu Mountain Sect.

Lin Huai's achievement in eliminating demons and evil spirits saved countless lives.

The flowing royal treasures were brought into the grand hall of Shu Mountain by the palace maids, leaving even the knowledgeable elders in awe.

Lin Huai remained unaffected and calmly said, "Shu Mountain Sect thanks Your Majesty for the favor."

Ouyang Qi coldly laughed and said in a sarcastic tone, "Seventh Brother, you are truly ignorant of your own blessings. Father's affection for you, even the crown prince can't help but envy."

I was once again shocked.

Lin Huai was actually a prince?

Then how did he end up coming to Shu Mountain to cultivate immortality?
