Qi Taiguo tossed and turned, unable to sleep. The image of Cheng Su's reaction when she heard about his new assignment lingered in his mind—it was too calm, too composed, without a hint of worry.
Qi Taiguo even went out of his way to explain the intensity and risks of the mission, not knowing whether he might get injured or not.
Nonetheless, Cheng Su remained indifferent after hearing it, saying, "Xiangxi, huh? I know, I've heard there are swamp gases and poisonous insects there. Be careful, and always carry medicine with you. Oh, and I've heard the girls there have been practicing gu poison since they were young. Don't provoke them carelessly; watch out in case someone puts a Love Gu on you. Then you won't even think about coming back. You'll stay in the mountains to be someone's husband."
Qi Taiguo was so angry upon hearing this that he almost passed out, saying, "Now is the time you choose to be jealous? Don't you worry about me encountering danger?"
