"Yue Qingshan still has feelings for you. Aren’t you interested in such a beautiful woman?" Shen Hanxue asked.

Su Changfeng awkwardly scratched his nose. He indeed had a deep impression of Yue Qingshan and had softened many times, but he never had the idea of developing another type of relationship with her. Softness and being moved were different from love, and he always understood that clearly.

"No matter who it is, in my heart, none can compare to you." Su Changfeng said.

Shen Hanxue gently leaned into Su Changfeng’s arms, enveloped by the familiar scent, feeling incredibly safe. How wonderful it would be to spend a lifetime like this.

"But, can you really bear to hurt a beautiful woman?" Shen Hanxue continued to ask.

The beauty and visual impact of Yue Qingshan were something Su Changfeng had never experienced before, but even so, he could still control himself.

In the world, regardless of gender, people generally like beautiful things and beautiful people. Su Changfeng was no exception. But the most important thing is whether he can control himself and is willing to loyally protect someone.

With Shen Hanxue, Su Changfeng naturally wouldn’t do anything to wrong her.

"Do you remember what I asked you before? You can go to those places where polygamy is allowed. I, I can no longer be with you. You can’t be alone. As long as you don’t leave me alone, I require nothing else," Shen Hanxue said,

Su Changfeng couldn’t help but pinch Shen Hanxue’s cheek, saying, "Have you forgotten what I said? I promised there’s a way to cure you, and there definitely is a way!"

Shen Hanxue took those words as his intentional comfort. After all, even Shangguan Sichen had searched for renowned doctors with no success. Su Changfeng wasn’t a doctor; how could he have a solution?

"I know you’re comforting me, but I know my body better," Shen Hanxue said.

Su Changfeng didn’t speak, pulling out the bead from his body. He wasn’t sure if this thing could cure Shen Hanxue or if there would be any side effects, but there wasn’t a better option at the moment. He always felt there was some connection between Shen Hanxue and Yang Ling.

"What’s this? It’s so beautiful!" Shen Hanxue’s eyes lit up at the sight of the bead in Su Changfeng’s hand.

Women have always loved beautiful things, and Shen Hanxue was no exception.

Su Changfeng didn’t know how to explain this thing to Shen Hanxue. Even if he told her, she probably wouldn’t believe it, so he vaguely said, "I got this Divine Medicine from Tuo Shi. They say it can cure all diseases."

Divine Medicine from Tuo Shi?

Suddenly, a glimmer of hope sparked in Shen Hanxue’s heart. She knew well what Tuo Shi meant. If this thing was indeed from Tuo Shi, it might truly cure her.

"This must be very precious, right?" Shen Hanxue hesitated.

"Compared to you, it means nothing," Su Changfeng said with a smile as he patted her head.

"Forget it, it must be very precious. Since Elder Wu gave it to you, he must hope you use it for a crucial moment. How can I use it?" Shen Hanxue quickly waved her hand in refusal.

"Fool, you’re the most important thing to me. These things don’t matter," Su Changfeng said.

Shen Hanxue’s gaze softened, and her eyes instantly became moist.

Su Changfeng said, "Open your mouth quickly, or I’ll take Niannian and leave. Then you won’t see our daughter again."

Upon hearing this, Shen Hanxue obediently opened her mouth.

Su Changfeng placed the bead at the edge of Shen Hanxue’s mouth, and it turned into mist, slipping into her throat.

Seeing this, Su Changfeng became increasingly convinced that there was indeed some connection between Yang Ling and Shen Hanxue.

"Hurry up and feed me!" Shen Hanxue couldn’t feel Su Changfeng’s movements and couldn’t help but complain.

"I already did," Su Changfeng replied with a smile.

Shen Hanxue looked at Su Changfeng in surprise and said, "What? I don’t feel anything!"

"I told you it’s the Divine Medicine. It melts at the entrance, so of course, you wouldn’t feel it."

At that moment, Shen Hanxue suddenly felt light and dizzy, mumbling, "Changfeng, I, I feel a bit, a bit..."

Before she could finish, Shen Hanxue fainted.

Watching Shen Hanxue pass out, Su Changfeng’s heart beat uncontrollably faster.

After all, he couldn’t control the direction of events or know what effect the bead would have on Shen Hanxue.

All the uncertainties instilled an indescribable fear in Su Changfeng, a fear he hadn’t even felt in the Infinite Cave.

Simply because, from a long time ago, he had considered Shen Hanxue’s life much more important than his own. If possible, he was willing to endure all hardships, even sacrifice his life without regret.

"Yang Ling, if there really is some connection between you two, please be sure to protect her. Only then will I know what you really want," Su Changfeng said.

Just then, the slightly agitated voice of Zhu Lie came from outside. Upon hearing the news of Su Changfeng’s return, he rushed over. After all, he had walked another path because of Su Changfeng. His current possessions were all thanks to him.

When Su Changfeng left Jiang City at that time, he entrusted the city’s affairs to him. But he failed to meet his expectations and did not protect Shen Hanxue. In Zhu Lie’s eyes, this was all due to his incompetence.

So when Su Changfeng stepped out of the house, Zhu Lie directly knelt before him.

"Changfeng, it’s my fault that Shen Hanxue ended up like this," Zhu Lie said with guilt.

"Zhu Lie, what do you mean by this? Get up quickly," Su Changfeng hurried to Zhu Lie’s side to help him up. He naturally didn’t blame Zhu Lie because such matters were beyond his control.

"Changfeng, just let me kneel. It makes me feel better," Zhu Lie said.

Shangguan Sichen had sought so many renowned doctors, yet none could cure Shen Hanxue. Zhu Lie felt very guilty, believing he hadn’t fulfilled Su Changfeng’s trust.

Su Changfeng helplessly smiled; this uncle always had a habit of bearing all responsibility on himself, as if he’d feel uncomfortable if he didn’t shoulder some burdens.

"Zhu Lie, I told you to get up, so get up quickly. Are you saying you won’t even listen to me?" With one hand gripping Zhu Lie’s arm, Su Changfeng effortlessly lifted him up.

Zhu Lie felt his body suddenly lifted, his face a bit embarrassed, thinking this guy’s strength was a bit abnormal. He was also a man, after all. Did he have to be lifted so effortlessly?

"Changfeng, aren’t you giving me any face?" Zhu Lie quipped with a twitch of his lips.
