Three Sins Against Heaven

Behind the Medicine Gate, outside a small bamboo house, Li Qing listened to the sobs coming from inside. His hand, poised to knock, froze in mid-air, then clenched tightly as he gritted his teeth.

The crying inside was heart-wrenching. Unable to bear it any longer, Li Qing pushed the door open and quickly walked to the bedside. He sat down and pulled Wei Lanqian into his arms, whispering, "I'm sorry, it's my fault for being useless and letting you suffer such humiliation. Don't worry, once I reach Foundation Establishment, I'll kill him to avenge you."

Wei Lanqian nestled in Li Qing's embrace, sobbing, "It's okay, I can handle a few harsh words. I'm just afraid that with my brother gone, if he gains power, I won't live to see my brother again."

Li Qing comforted her, "Don't worry, he won't become the Gate Master. My brother said that once he reaches Foundation Establishment, he'll hand the Medicine Gate over to me. I'll make sure to punish those adulterers properly."

Wei Lanqian smiled through her tears and said softly, "I knew you'd protect me. You're so good to me."

Li Qing gently shook Wei Lanqian's face, then reached to undo the clasp of her dress, pulling it slightly, causing her dress to slip off, revealing nothing underneath.

"You were just crying so pitifully, it almost melted my heart," Li Qing said, stroking his chin, admiring the view with a look of infatuation.

"You know I'm upset, yet you still tease me," Wei Lanqian playfully scolded.

"That's why I want to make you happy," Li Qing said, pressing Wei Lanqian down and kissing her.
