Becoming Invincible By Marrying The Ultimate Villainess - Chapter 52 - Chapter 52 – Reunion with Mu Lin — The Love Gu Is Unleashed!

“Su Su, go get some rest first.”

Ning Ye gently tousled Su Su’s silvery hair as he spoke softly. What was about to happen wasn’t something the little girl should be around to see.

“Oh!”
“Okay!”

Su Su nodded obediently, let out a yawn, and then turned and headed into one of the side rooms of the courtyard.

[Name: Mu Lin]
[Age: 24]
[Cultivation: Seventh Stage of the Legend Realm]
[Status: Saintess of the Yin-Yang Sect (Currently under the effect of the Love Gu)]
[Bloodline: Enchanting Spirit Sacred Body]
[Lover: Ning Ye (due to the effects of the Love Gu)]
[System Notification: Host may activate the Love Gu at any time.]

With a casual glance at Mu Lin’s status panel, Ning Ye couldn’t help but smile. He was rather curious to see what Mu Lin had come for tonight. With a smirk playing at the corners of his lips, he remarked with half-feigned astonishment: “It’s so late in the night.”

“Your Highness Princess Consort, you certainly have energy to spare.”

Scoundrel!

At those words, Mu Lin shot him a fierce glare. She still clearly remembered that night in the Crown Prince’s bedchamber—she had said the exact same thing to Ning Ye. And now, he was throwing those words back at her, word for word. Was he mocking her?

Mu Lin took a deep breath, trying to suppress the irritation in her heart. Her graceful steps brought her slowly in front of Ning Ye, and she demanded coldly: “After that night—where did you go?”

Huh?

Ning Ye spread his hands, looking completely innocent as he responded with a puzzled expression:

“What night?”
“What do you mean, where did I go?”
“Princess Consort, what are you even talking about?”

You—!!!

Seeing him play dumb, acting like he didn’t know anything, made Mu Lin’s temper flare up several notches. Her jaw tightened, and she snapped sharply through gritted teeth:

“Ning Ye!”
“Are you really going to talk to me like this?”
“We both know what happened that night.”
“So I’ll ask you once more—after you left the Eastern Palace, where did you go?”

Heh.

Ning Ye chuckled softly and shook his head. Then he replied with just four simple, dismissive words: “What’s it to you?”

The moment he said that, Mu Lin’s face turned frosty. She opened her red lips and shouted with cold fury:

“It was you who took the secret jade from the Scroll Hall, wasn’t it?”
“And the one who looted the forbidden grounds?”
“The one who killed the Third Prince and his consort—it was you too, wasn’t it?”
“Tell me, am I wrong?”

Ning Ye shook his head, his expression utterly nonchalant:

“Princess Consort.”
“That’s a dangerous accusation.”
“You know better than anyone what kind of person I am, don’t you?”
“Do I really look like the type who’d ransack the Scroll Hall, or—dare to kill a royal prince?”

Shameless!

Mu Li glared at him so fiercely that it seemed she could tear him apart with her eyes. But for a moment, she had no words. Truth be told, she had come tonight with the intention of activating the Love Gu and taking control of Ning Ye.

Yet somehow, the moment she saw him, her temper flared uncontrollably. She didn’t know why—but all she wanted was to yell at him.

Hoo…

She took another deep breath to calm herself, then finally spoke again:

“Let’s put aside that matter for now.”
“Today, I came here… because there’s something I need from you.”

“Oh?”

Hearing her words, a sly glint flashed in Ning Ye’s eyes. He deliberately put on a solemn expression and earnestly advised Mu Lin like a wise elder:

“Princess Consort!”
“That night… it was a mistake.”
“Mm… like a dream.”
“A dream best forgotten once it’s passed.”
“Tonight, let’s not walk that same path again.”

Walk the same path…again?!

The moment Mu Lin heard those words, a flush of red rose to her cheeks—not from embarrassment, but from anger!

What did Ning Ye take her for? Some kind of nympho?

She fought back the urge to explode on the spot, biting it back with difficulty. Finally, she parted her lips and spoke with sarcasm:

“Seems the Tenth Prince hasn’t forgotten at all.”
“I was under the impression you’d lost your memory.”

Haha.

Ning Ye simply chuckled and shook his head, saying nothing more. He just looked at Mu Lin in silence.

Mu Lin, too, wasted no time and got straight to the point: “Your Highness the Tenth Prince,”
“Tonight, I’ve come with a request.”
“Will you hear me out?”

“Let’s hear it.”

Ning Ye spread his hands nonchalantly. He was curious to see what Mu Lin was up to this time.

Mu Lin gathered her thoughts and began: “Tonight, the Second Prince, Wu Lintian, will arrive in Wudu.”

So?

Ning Ye looked at her, puzzled. What did that have to do with him?

“I want you… to kill him.”

Mu Lin stared straight into his eyes, her red lips moving with chilling clarity.

“Why?”

Ning Ye raised an eyebrow and asked the question with complete calm.

“Heh… heh heh!”
“No reason.”
“Wu Lintian—whether you want to or not—you will kill him.”
“Because that’s an order from me.”

As she finished speaking, a crimson light flashed in Mu Lin’s eyes. With a graceful raise of her hand, she formed a Gu seal—it was clear she was activating the Love Gu, attempting to take full control of Ning Ye!

“So it begins.”

Ning Ye’s brow lifted. The corners of his lips curled into a playful smirk as he murmured: “The famed Love Gu of the Yin-Yang Sect…”
“Lives up to its reputation.”

“You—!!”

The moment Mu Lin heard the term Love Gu uttered from Ning Ye’s mouth, her expression froze. A terrible premonition welled up inside her.

“Heh…”

“Princess Consort.”
“You’re using the Love Gu… all wrong.”
“Here, allow me to show you.”

Still grinning, Ning Ye shook his head. In the next instant, he issued a command in his mind:—Activate Love Gu!

[Ding! System Notification: Love Gu has been activated.]

As soon as the system’s voice fell, the light in Mu Lin’s eyes vanished. She felt her body weaken, her limbs softening, dizziness overtaking her. A strange sensation followed—like her soul was slowly slipping out of her grasp.

Then pain.

A searing, heart-rending pain that radiated from her chest and engulfed her entire body.

In that moment, her fate was sealed—irreversible and absolute.

“Ugh…!”

Mu Lin’s brows knitted tightly together as she let out a muffled groan. Clutching her chest, she collapsed to her knees. When she raised her head to look at Ning Ye, her once cold and aloof eyes began to shift and waver, as though she had realized something dreadful.

“The Love Gu…this is the Love Gu…”

That was her last coherent thought.

Her throat bobbed as she swallowed hard. She didn’t understand—after that night, she’d used herself as the vessel and should’ve planted the love poison in Ning Ye. So why was she the one suffering now?

“Ning Ye!”

“What did you do to me?”
“How do you have the Love Gu?”
“And how… how could I be the one affected?”

Mu Lin’s voice trembled. As a member of the Yin-Yang Sect, she’d been trained in the art of the Love Gu since childhood—she knew how terrifying it was.

Now, the poison was in her.

Soon it would seep into her soul.

And once it fully took hold, she would become nothing more than Ning Ye’s love slave—utterly bound to his will.

From that point on, his word would be divine decree. She would be unable to disobey.

“Why don’t you tell me, Princess Consort?”

Ning Ye stood with hands behind his back, calm and composed, his smile deepening.

“Ning Ye!”
“I… I’ll kill you!”
“I swear I’ll kill you…!”

Mu Lin’s voice cracked, tears gathering in her eyes as she shouted at him. That numbing ache, that creeping tingle spreading through her soul—it terrified her.

And that terror was quickly becoming despair.

If this continued, she knew it— she would soon fall, body and soul, completely under Ning Ye’s control.
