Sleeping Beauty left Baiyan Village and found herself in the backyard of the Li's family when she came to her senses. It had been a long time since she had been back, and she suddenly felt that the once familiar home had become very strange. It wasn't that she didn't want to return, but she didn't dare to, didn't dare to appear in front of father in this state. Deep down in her heart, there was still a faint voice telling her that she resented father. How could she not resent him? Wasn't the life and death ordeal of the two sisters caused by father?
【Servant patrolling, footsteps approaching from a distance】
Household servant A: "I wonder when the master will wake up? It's been several days already."
Household servant B: "It might be difficult. I heard from Dr. Li that the master's poisoning is too severe, and we can only rely on the will of the God."
(Sound of footsteps slowly fading away, voices fading out)
Sleeping Beauty did not expect that the first thing she heard upon returning home was the distressing news of her father's coma and uncertain fate. Without much thought, she turned into black mist and disappeared into the shadows. When she reappeared, she was by Liu Dafu's sickbed.
Sleeping Beauty (sadly): " father!"
Looking at her father in a deep sleep, the faint resentment of Sleeping Beauty disappeared without a trace. After all, this was her father who had loved her for more than ten years. At this moment, she even blamed herself, thinking that Liu Daiyan would at least consider family ties and not resort to such extreme measures. But now, she realized she was wrong. After much thought, Sleeping Beauty could only think of one person she could trust. She transformed into a Black snake, sensing the breath and pinpointing the location of Muxi, and then she slithered away. Consumed by anger, she did not notice the figure emerging from behind the warm screen on the other side, with the moonlight shining directly into the person's left eye, sending chills down her spine.
The lifeless Muxi had long been in despair, waiting for someone to end it all. When she heard the sound of the door lock, she thought her time had come and slowly closed her eyes. However, after a while, Muxi did not hear the sound of the lock opening, nor did she hear anyone entering the room. Just as she began to feel puzzled, a familiar voice sounded.
Sleeping Beauty (reluctantly): " Muxi."
Sleeping Beauty saw Muxi closing his eyes and remaining silent, so she began to ponder, steadied her emotions, and recited a line of incorrect poetry.
Sleeping Beauty: "In the mountains, there is Muxi with branches, and the warm spring river, the ducks know first."
Muxi served as a personal maid and has always been by Liu Daiyu's side. Whether it's poetry, singing, calligraphy, or painting, Muxi has learned a bit of everything. When they were young, because of their tender age, the two of them often mixed up their poetry. The line that Sleeping Beauty just recited was one of those instances. They were even punished by their teacher at the time, so the memory runs deep and is often brought up by the two of them for amusement. This is something only they know.
【Memory Lane, Seven or Eight-Year-Old Liu Daiyu and Muxi 】
Young Liu Daiyu: "The mountain has Muxi, and the tree has branches."
Little Muxi: "The warm spring river, the ducks know first."
Little Liu Daiyu & Little Muxi: "Hahaha!"
Muxi (opens eyes instantly, hesitates): "...Miss?"
Sleeping Beauty (rushes over and hugs) " Muxi, Muxi! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! You suffered!"
Muxi (sobbing) "Miss, you really are the miss! Miss... you've come back..."
Sleeping Beauty (frantically nodding) "I've come back! I've come back! (steps back from the embrace) Muxi, how did you end up tied up here? What happened? How did father get poisoned? (waves to untie)"
Muxi (suddenly loosening his body): "I... I'm fine, miss. Master has been poisoned by the thorn apple."
Sleeping Beauty: "Is it her?"
Muxi: (nods)
Sleeping Beauty: "It's all because of her that you are in this situation."
Muxi (guiltily): "It's my own fault. (kneels down) Miss, I'm sorry, those thorn apple, it's... it's me... it's me... (unable to continue)"
Sleeping Beauty: "You don't have to say it. It must be Liu Daiyan deceiving you, even father couldn't recognize her, how could you? It's not your fault. It's my fault for implicating you."
Muxi: "No, it's not your fault, Miss. You are the best person to me in this world. (Looks her up and down) Miss, why... why do you have this scar... does it still hurt? (Reaches out to touch but only trembles in the air)"
Sleeping Beauty (touches the scar): "Don't worry about it, it's just the karma of the Li's family. (Composes herself) This is not the place to talk, let me take you away."
Sleeping Beauty can disappear in the mist, but Muxi cannot, so they can only escape quietly when there is no one around at night. But as soon as they open the door, they are drenched by cold water pouring down on them, and a pungent smell emanates from their bodies. Sleeping Beauty immediately realizes that this is not water, but rather Realgar Wine. Although she can maintain a human form, snakes are her true form, and despite the power of the blood curse, there are things that can restrain it. One is fire, and the other is precisely this Realgar Wine.
Originally, the person behind the screen just now was Liu Daiyu. Witnessing the scene of Black snake transforming into a human, she remembered the Blood curse mentioned by Qin Mama. Although she didn't know how this person became a Blood curse, but since the original form was a snake, it was easy to handle. So, the current situation arose.
Sleeping Beauty began to gasp, her body, constantly emitting black mist, couldn't support itself and leaned to one side. Fortunately, Muxi was quick to catch her. In the next moment, the servants who came running with torches surrounded the Muxi shed, and after a while, Liu Daiyu walked out leisurely.
Liu Daiyu (sullenly): "It really is you."
The group of servants looked at the woman opposite them in confusion. Not for any other reason, but because the woman looked exactly like their young lady, except for that terrifying scar.
Liu Daiyu (loud and serious): " Muxi has poisoned the master's family and attempted to frame the witch to look like me. Capture her!"
Seeing several servants approaching with ropes, Sleeping Beauty bit her tongue hard, spitting out black blood. The black blood instantly transformed into several black snakes, flying over and biting the throats of the servants, killing them instantly. Everyone was scared and took a few steps back, except for Liu Daiyu, who remained in place.
Liu Daiyu (glancing back): "A bunch of useless things! It's just witchcraft, what is there to fear! (turning around) I didn't expect this, I was too careless. But it's also good, today, no one can escape."
Under Liu Daiyu's gaze, the servants brought out a jar filled with Realgar Wine from behind. Seeing this, Muxi quickly supported the person and retreated into the Muxi shed, closing the door tightly. Following Liu Daiyu's orders, the servants directly smashed the jar against the wall of the Muxi shed. Inside the house, Sleeping Beauty trembled all over, more and more black mist emerged, and suddenly vomited a mouthful of black blood, which turned into a snake on the ground, writhing incessantly, looking quite terrifying.
Muxi (anxiously crying): "Miss! Miss! What's wrong, miss!"
Watching the trembling and frightened appearance of the miss in his arms, Muxi hated his own helplessness. Unfortunately, Sleeping Beauty could no longer hear any sound, and her confused consciousness pulled her back to the days of humiliation in The romantic history of a wretched sea. The memories were too painful, and Sleeping Beauty could no longer hold on, transforming back into the form of Black snake. Muxi widened his eyes, but immediately accepted this incredible fact. The miss would always be his miss, no matter what form she took.
Suddenly, a flaming arrow flew into the room and struck the Muxi pile next to Muxi, followed by several more arrows, engulfing the entire Muxi shed in flames. Muxi knew she couldn't escape this disaster. She didn't know why the young lady had turned into a snake, but no matter what happened, she was determined to protect her.
