Listening to Ruo Qiu's voice filled with unbearable pain, Lin Zaozao's heart ached deeply.
She held Ruo Qiu in her arms and spoke earnestly.
"Ruo Qiu, your parents don't love you because they are blinded by their own ignorance. They don't love you, but I do!
Those who abandon you are never worth your sadness. Since they don't love you, you don't need to worry about them anymore.
Ruo Qiu, believe me, I will protect you for the rest of your life."
Lin Zaozao wiped away a stray tear and comforted her with compassion.
"Zaozao, it's too late, everything is too late. On the way to Han Country, Princess Yezhao and Princess Yemu poisoned me with a poison more ruthless than death itself.
I can speak to you now, probably because it's my last glimmer of strength. Zaozao, I truly regret it now.
If I hadn't returned for the sake of my father and the family legacy my grandfather left me, I wouldn't have come back.
But Zaozao, seeing you before I die, I am content."
Seeing the bitter smile on Ruo Qiu's face, Lin Zaozao couldn't help but sigh.
"Foolish Ruo Qiu, I have a way to cure the poison in your body. But this method is a bit special and requires your consent."
"What method? Zaozao, what method can save me?"
Lin Zaozao rubbed her slightly twitching eyes, which had been fluttering seductively. To ease her own embarrassment, she took a deep breath and looked into Ruo Qiu's eyes earnestly.
"That is for you and me to consummate our relationship, to have the most intimate contact, and transfer the poison from your body to mine. And my body..."
Before Lin Zaozao could finish speaking, Ruo Qiu firmly refused.
"No, absolutely not. Zaozao, I won't consummate our relationship, and I won't transfer the poison from my body to yours.
I have failed in protecting you, and that's already my dereliction of duty. So I absolutely cannot harm you for my own sake."
"Oh dear! Ruo Qiu, let me finish before you object. Ruo Qiu, my body is special and immune to any poison.
When we have the most intimate contact and transfer the poison from your body to mine, it won't cause me any harm."
"Really, truly?"
Ruo Qiu asked incredulously.
"Of course it's true. If I were to use a life-for-a-life method to save you, not only would you refuse, but even Han Ye, Ji Fantian, and the others wouldn't agree.
Ruo Qiu, I am now the Empress of Han Country and the wife of Ji Fantian. I have responsibilities to others, so I cannot resort to a life-for-a-life method to save you.
So please believe me, saving you really won't cause me any harm."
Lin Zaozao took Ruo Qiu's sleeve and wiped away the tears that were threatening to overflow, then answered seriously.
After hearing Lin Zaozao's response, Ruo Qiu, who had recovered from her grief, finally noticed that Lin Zaozao was continuously squinting her eyes strangely and drooling uncontrollably.
"Zaozao, what's wrong with your eyes? And why is there drool coming out of your mouth?"
"My dear Ruo Qiu, please don't ask me about that. It's because I've been overworked lately, and my face has developed a temporary twitching problem."
These are just some minor issues, and in three days my face will return to normal. But Ruo Qiu, time is running out, so please give me a serious answer. Do you agree or disagree with entering the bridal chamber with me?"
Ruo Qiu's face quickly turned red when faced with Lin Zaozao's eager and shining eyes.
He slightly turned his head and nodded somewhat shyly.
"Ruo Qiu, does your nod mean you agree?"
Lin Zaozao slyly rubbed her lips, her eyes shining as she looked at Ruo Qiu's blushing face. In the next second, she reached out and pulled Ruo Qiu into her embrace.
"Be careful, Ruo Qiu, my dear! A moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold, even though my appearance might be a bit unkempt right now, but I hope you won't mind. In order to find a cure for the poison in your body, let's make do and enter the bridal chamber together!
Don't worry, in the future, as your lawful wife, I will make sure to give you an extraordinary bridal night filled with romance and candlelight."
After speaking, Lin Zaozao let go of one hand, wiped the drool that was about to flow down to her chest with Ruo Qiu's sleeve, and pouted as she leaned in to kiss Ruo Qiu's red lips.
"Zao... Zaozao..."
"Ruo Qiu, don't speak, let's go to the bridal chamber! Be focused!"
"Your drool got on me..."
"Ruo Qiu, my darling, just bear with it for now! After all, my drool doesn't smell that bad!"
"You can wipe it off, I..."
"Ruo Qiu, be quiet. Focus on the kiss."
Looking at Ruo Qiu's puzzled expression, Lin Zaozao rested her head on Ruo Qiu's chest and used her clothing to wipe away the drool that had flowed down. Then she lifted her head and kissed Ruo Qiu's red lips.
Lin Zaozao looked at Ruo Qiu, who was as beautiful as a peach blossom, and the lecherous glint in her eyes almost materialized.
No wonder men like shy women.
As a woman, she also liked a bashful man!
Embracing such a stunning and enchanting beauty, it was like savoring a dish that was visually appealing, fragrant, and delicious.
How could the taste not be good?
How could her mood not be ecstatic?
An hour later, a "romantic" and unique bridal chamber was reluctantly completed, despite Lin Zaozao's winking and drooling.
After watching Ruo Qiu fall into a deep sleep, Lin Zaozao picked up the bedsheet and used it to wipe away the drool once again, cursing the dog-like system in her heart tens of thousands of times.
Damn it, a cursed system!
Her romantic bridal chamber with Ruo Qiu, it was made so awkward by this damned system!
The process had a few hiccups, but she was still quite happy.
However, she felt sorry for Ruo Qiu. Her uncontrollable drooling had soaked him.
With a sigh, Lin Zaozao pulled the bedsheet and wiped the drool on Ruo Qiu's chest.
But as she wiped, her hand placed on Ruo Qiu's chest began to act out of line.
[My dear foolish host! How was your "moist" bridal chamber experience with your Ruo Qiu, accompanied by your charming eyes and drooling? Was the process particularly "refreshing"?]
"Moisten you, you damn system! Can't you reduce the amount of my drooling a little bit? If I keep drooling like this, I'll turn into a raisin, damn it."
"Silly host, no matter how foolish you are, you can't escape your human nature. So even if the host drools a lot, it can only turn the host into a human prune."
"Alright, alright, let's talk about becoming a human prune then. Dog system! I've heard people talk about crying until they become dried-up, but I've never heard anyone say that drooling can turn into a human prune.
How about this? Can you cancel this punishment for drooling? If you cancel this punishment, I'll thank your ancestors for eight generations."
"Stupid host, this system is just a string of code, where does it have ancestors? Also, stupid host, drooling a bit more can make your time with Ruo Qiu in the bridal chamber more moist.
Look, your Ruo Qiu is made tender and enticing by your drool! By the way, host, because you and Ruo Qiu entered the bridal chamber, this system will specially reward you with two small rewards!"
"Two small rewards? What are they?" Lin Zaozao asked excitedly.
"Host, one is a pill for longevity, it won't let people die early if they take it. You can give it to Xiao Liuli. As for the other reward, it's the ability for the host to control the wind and rain and even summon thunder for a day, becoming a divine being named Lin.
"System, I won't ask about the pill for longevity. But what's the use of the other reward, being able to control wind and rain and summon thunder?
Isn't it just for showing off? Do you think my status as a divine being named Lin is not loud enough?"
"Host, when the time comes, you will naturally appreciate the rewards given by this system.
When you want to use the reward of controlling wind and rain and summoning thunder, just let this system know, and it will be promptly granted to the host.
By the way, host. Now this system celebrates that in the next three days, you will flirt until your eyes twitch and drool until you become a complete idiot."
"Get lost, you damn system!"
"Hahaha, idiotic host."
After the dog system sneered with disdain, it happily went offline.
After finishing the conversation with the system, Lin Zaozao turned her head and looked at the sleeping Ruo Qiu. When her gaze fell on Ruo Qiu's face, her eyes involuntarily started to flirt.
Even her drool started to flow "like a waterfall cascading three thousand feet" at this moment.
Lin Zaozao wiped it with her sleeve, quickly covered Ruo Qiu with a blanket, and turned to walk outside.
Oh my goodness! She can't look at Ruo Qiu anymore. Otherwise, what the system said will really happen, and she will turn into a human prune.
But as soon as Lin Zaozao walked out, she saw Xiao Liuli, Ji Fantian, and Xiao Taohua standing outside, waiting for her.
When Lin Zaozao's gaze met the handsome faces of Han Ye, Ji Fantian, and Xiao Taohua, her eyes involuntarily started to flirt.
And her just-wiped drool began to flow again uncontrollably.
Without looking in the mirror, her current image is that of a complete idiot standing at the village entrance, squinting and drooling.
Damn it, dog system! It made her so embarrassed.
Since crossing over, Lin Zaozao hasn't had any shining moments like other transmigrated girls. However, she has had her fair share of embarrassing moments.
Xiao Taohua, Ji Fantian, and a few others noticed Lin Zaozao's face contorting in an unusual way because she couldn't control it. They exchanged puzzled glances before approaching her together.
"Zaozao, what's wrong with your eyes? And why does it seem like you've been drooling?"
Upon hearing Xiao Taohua's concerned words, Lin Zaozao immediately lowered her head, afraid to look at their handsome faces.
Earlier, when she was alone with Ruo Qiu, her drool had soaked the front of her clothes.
Now, seeing the handsome faces of Xiao Taohua, Ji Fantian, and Oldest Brother Han Ye, Lin Zaozao felt like her drool was about to flood out uncontrollably.
And her eyes were fluttering, flirting uncontrollably.
"Zaozao, what's the matter? Why won't you look up at me?"
Facing Xiao Taohua's confusion, Lin Zaozao could only close her eyes and reach out to stop him from getting closer.
"Xiao Taohua, I just detoxified Ruo Qiu. The way I am now is the aftereffect of the detoxification. It will go away in three days."
"The aftereffect of fluttering your eyebrows and winking?"
