Becoming Invincible By Marrying The Ultimate Villainess - Chapter 53 - Chapter 53 – The Love Gu Activated — The Princess Consort Suffers Gravely!

Hearing this, Ning Ye shook his head and ignored Mu Lin’s harsh words. He thought that now that she was poisoned by the Love Gu, it was time for him to try out the magical power of the love poison himself!

“Hm…”

“Let’s give it a little try then.”

With that thought, Ning Ye crouched down and reached out, gently poking Mu Lin’s cheek with his finger.

“Ah…!”

Mu Li’s body jolted from the tingling shock. She could feel her heart thundering wildly, completely out of her control. If Ning Ye went any further… she truly feared she wouldn’t be able to hold herself back.

“Don’t… Don’t touch me!”

She shouted coldly, swatting his hand away. Tears, unbidden, welled up in her eyes and streamed down her flawless face, a portrait of despair.

This time, she had truly tasted it for herself—what it meant to fall while fully conscious. This… was the horror of the love poison.

“This Gu… it’s pretty impressive, huh?”

Ning Ye stared in astonishment at Mu Lin’s flushed and tearful face, murmuring with a tinge of surprise. He hadn’t expected such a strong reaction from such a simple touch. Even the favorability meter had ticked up slightly.

After a brief pause, he asked casually, “Alright, Princess Consort.”

“Tell me then—why do you want me to kill Wu Lintian?”

“Get lost!”

Mu Lin bit down hard on her teeth, spitting the words through clenched jaws, clearly unwilling to give in.

“Still not enough pressure, huh?”

Ning Ye nodded thoughfully. Then, as if recalling something, he suddenly reached out and lifted her into a bridal carry, striding toward the banyan tree with ease.

“Ning Ye! What are you doing?!”

“If you dare lay a finger on me, I’ll kill you!”

“Put me down right now!”

Mu Lin roared, her face twisted with fury. She wanted to circulate her internal moon essence to resist, but in Ning Ye’s arms, her body felt limp and powerless—her strength seemingly frozen, completely unresponsive. She was utterly at his mercy.

Though she hadn’t yet fully become Ning Ye’s love slave, she could no longer harm him. The moment she harbored the intent to kill, her powers would lock up—this was the terrifying grip of the love poison.

“Shut up.”

Ning Ye frowned and directly tossed her beneath the banyan tree. He stood above her, looking down at the once proud, aloof Princess Consort, a smile tugging at his lips.

“You… what are you trying to do?”

Mu Lin’s eyes trembled as she looked up at him, dread creeping into her heart.

Is he…going to take advantage of me?

Here?

Under this banyan tree?!

But just as panic surged within her, Ning Ye moved. He grabbed her delicate wrist, yanked her forward, and pinned her against the tree with his elbow.

“Are you going to talk or not?”

Ning Ye asked, voice cold and low.

“Just… just kill me!”

Mu Lin shut her eyes tight.

If she could, she’d rather die than let Ning Ye humiliate her. But that was the horror of the Love Gu—even taking her own life was now impossible. So at this moment, she was teetering on the brink of utter despair.

As soon as she finished speaking—Ning Ye nodded calmly, then shifted his hand into a pointed finger and struck the center of her back.

Zheng!

Love Gu activated!

“Ahhhh!!!”

Mu Lin’s eyes flew open in shock.

A burning, soul-deep pain exploded in her chest and spread throughout her entire body!

It was as if thousands of venomous ants were crawling and gnawing at her flesh and soul, biting her inch by inch. Her scalp prickled, and her body shuddered violently!

This is the love Gu!

Once activated, it would subject the victim to a torment worse than death—bitten alive by ten thousand insects!

At first—Mu Lin endured it.

Even Ning Ye couldn’t help but admire her resilience.

“Princess Consort.”

“Will you speak now, or not?”

Ning Ye frowned and asked again.

As his words fell…

Ning Ye suddenly heard it—drip… drip…—the sound of tears hitting the floor.

“This woman… is actually crying!”

Ning Ye froze for a moment, realizing that this so-called Princess Consort had finally reached her limit.

“Bastard!”

“Ning Ye, you’re such a bastard!”

Mu Lin trembled all over, biting her lip as she yelled at him through sobs, her voice full of anger and humiliation.

She couldn’t believe that such a heartless man actually existed in this world! Didn’t he understand the meaning of pity and tenderness toward women?

“Mhm~”

Ning Ye didn’t even deny it.

“Bastard!!”

Mu Li’s tearful eyes glared furiously at him once more.

It took quite a while before she finally calmed down.

A resolute light flashed in her eyes.

Perhaps it was the effect of the Love Gu, or maybe she had just thought things through…

At last, she struggled to her feet. Her fair hands clenched tightly into fists as she looked at Ning Ye with an expression devoid of emotion and said: “Ning Ye… if you let me go…”

“I’ll tell you everything I know!”

“Alright!”

Ning Ye agreed without a second thought.

Hah…

Hearing that, Mu Lin let out a long breath.

She was a proud woman—she would never allow herself to become someone else’s slave.

Even if it meant betraying her sect, she was willing!

Besides, she never had much affection for the Yin-Yang Sect anyway. Betray it? So be it. Anything was better than suffering this torment!

She resolved that once this was over, she’d leave Wudu, leave the Yin-Yang Sect and Ning Ye far behind—preferably never to see them again.

After hesitating for another moment, Mu Lin finally parted her red lips and slowly revealed Mu Lingxi’s plan: “Ning Ye, listen closely.”

“Master’s plan… is for you to kill Wu Lintian.”

“After he dies, she will use the murder of the prince as an excuse to mobilize the entire Junlin Dynasty to attack the Jun family!”

“Then she’ll have you infiltrate the Sacred Mountain, becoming a hidden pawn of the Yin-Yang Sect.”

“And in the end, she’ll use you to seize control of the Nine Heavens Fengyu Tower!”

Upon hearing that, Ning Ye nodded. What Mu Lin said was pretty much in line with his own guesses.

“Are you satisfied now?”
“Can you finally let me go?”

Mu Lin stared blankly at Ning Ye, asking quietly.

“Sure.”
“You can go.”

Ning Ye waved his hand generously.

Huh?

Mu Lin froze in disbelief. She hadn’t expected Ning Ye to actually let her off so easily.

But either way, it was a good thing!

With that thought, she turned and left without another word, not daring to linger even a second longer. She had a feeling that Wudu—no, the entire Junlin Empire—was about to plunge into chaos. And all she could do was try to protect herself and stay out of the storm.

As he watched her leave, Ning Ye lazily stretched and mused to himself: “That woman… she’s kind of adorably naive, huh. Does she really think I’d just let go of such a useful little pawn—especially one who’s already in the palm of my hand?”

Heh heh…

Ning Ye chuckled and shook his head. Just as he was about to head back to his room to rest, a playful and teasing voice rang out across the western courtyard: “What a beautiful moon tonight.”

“Your Highness the Tenth Prince—what a fun night you’ve had!”

The moment Ning Ye heard the voice, his steps came to a halt. He turned his head—and there she was.

A graceful figure had silently appeared in the courtyard.

She stood under the banyan tree, hands clasped behind her back. Moonlight filtered through the leaves, casting countless shadows across her breathtaking, cold and elegant face. The sight was so beautiful, almost surreal.

She was smiling—a sly smile.

“Jun Qianyue!”

“So she was spying!”

Ning Ye sighed helplessly.
