My back was tightly embraced by a pair of long arms, Yu Longting knelt on one knee beside , caressing my long hair,
"Wanwan, don't be afraid... Hubby is here, it's all hubby's fault for not protecting you and Little Dumpling well."
That egg hindered his embrace, so he casually tossed it aside onto the ground.
The crack in the egg was large, about two centiters wide, faintly revealing a colorful little viper coiled inside.
My neck hurt terribly, and each breath felt like tearing; after several attempts, I managed to speak hoarsely, "Yu Longting, I missed you so much, where on earth did you go?"
"I found out that Yun Hao was the mastermind behind these Snake Servants, so I went to his cave to seize his eggs and returned to the cave once more, I'm sorry, it took quite long." Yu Longting produced a white Jade Pill in his palm and directly stuffed it into my mouth, "Swallow it."
"Ow." I swallowed without thinking, feeling a cool sensation sliding down my throat, very soothing, "Is it to dissolve the Demonic Qi? Cough cough cough."
Yun Hao had choked
too harshly earlier, my neck hurt badly, and my throat involuntarily itched and coughed.
But after swallowing the Jade Pill, the heavy feeling in my stomach disappeared.
The cold Demonic Qi emanating from Little Dumpling also disappeared at the sa ti.
Everything was getting better.
"It is to dissolve the Demonic Qi, Little Dumpling is fine now, you don't have to worry all day about him turning demonic."
Hearing my coughing, the violence on Yu Longting surged instantly, his eyes filled with murderous intent glaring at Yun Hao, "Yun Hao, you are courting death, even a re dead snake dares to rough up my woman..."
"Snake Lord, I was only forceful because it was unavoidable."
Yun Hao spoke coldly, "I've returned your woman to you, now return my egg."
"Once the egg is in my possession, it is mine, and I'm not returning it to you, what can you do about it?"
Yu Longting's fingers gently stroked the bruises on my neck, the coldness in his eyes undiminished.
Yun Hao angrily said, "Snake Lord, you have always been uninvolved with the world, and we have had a policy of non-interference with one another; had you and your woman not ssed with my affairs, I would never have co to you."
As I reached out to touch the egg to see if it had been cooked by all the talismans that hit it earlier, my hand was fiercely slapped away by Yu Longting, "Your husband is right before your eyes, dare you touch another man?"
"Ouch, that hurts, you've even slapped it red." I stared at the large red mark on the back of my hand, in disbelief that Yu Longting would one day be dostically violent.
Yu Longting said irritatedly, "Your hands should only touch ."
Looking at my hand, gradually turning red, he picked it up with both hands, blowing and gently caressing it.
In fact, it didn't hurt much at all, yet he seed countless tis more distraught than I was.
"I just wanted to try and see if the egg was... bad..." I looked down, eyeing his expression that saw no one else but , a smile lifting at my lips, "If it isn't bad, I would suggest that you return the egg to Yun Hao."
Across from , Yun Hao's grey and icy eyes slightly dilated.
"Return it…" Yu Longting elongated the sound, a playful smile spread across his face, as if challenging
to justify, or he would roast the egg right then and there.
How did I never realize before that this guy is so jealous?
Such a deceiver?
Previously he deceived
saying he only wanted the person, not their heart, but now it seems he can't tolerate a speck of sand.
I helplessly leaned close, whispering in his ear, "Better to resolve grudges than to foster them, I think there's just a misunderstanding between Senior Yun and us."
This egg was to be used by Yun Hao for reincarnation and transmigration.
Yun Hao hid the egg in his own cave dwelling, but it was snatched away by soone inside Yu Longting's cave dwelling.
If it were soone with a worse temperant, they'd probably have blown up on the spot.
"A misunderstanding?" Yun Hao's expression also turned playful, his eyebrows slightly raised.
My strength had recovered sowhat, and leaning on Yu Longting, I stood up, "Senior Yun, Immortal Liu has already prepared the Reincarnation Array. Your great-grandson could have been saved. It wasn't necessary to harm other beings."
"Is the Reincarnation Array so easy to operate? Without sacrifice and death, where does new life co from... This is Heavenly Dao; this is an iron law!"
Yun Hao said coldly.
I patiently explained, "There are exceptions to everything, even iron laws can be broken. I am from the Su Family, I know the Yin Yang Life and Death Embroidery, and I can make the Reincarnation Garnt. Immortal Liu chose Spring Wind Town to set up the Reincarnation Array just to seek my help."
Initially, I really didn't know what Immortal Liu wanted from
or why she insisted on staying in Spring Wind Town.
But I knew by heart the notes of my father and was aware that Immortal Liu had no intention of killing or harming any being.
Then I understood that Immortal Liu was pinning her hopes on , not on crooked and evil practices.
"Is this true? You would tailor garnts for my great-grandson?!"
Yun Hao, such a powerful figure, now staggered back two steps under the shock, his mind greatly disturbed.
It was lucky that there was a window sill behind him, where he stopped and stabilized himself.
I confird, "Willingly."
Yun Hao still did not dare to believe easily, "Do you know the price to pay for making this garnt... "
"If it can help you and Immortal Liu, and save those children you captured, I think it's worth it." I replied with a dismissive smile.
Yun Hao exhaled softly, clasping his hands and bowing to
in a deeply respectful gesture of ancient tis, "With these words of yours, I'll release that group of kids now. I apologize, Miss Su, for inadvertently hurting you earlier in my impulsiveness."
No sooner had the cold, sharp voice dropped, than the moon-like figure of Yun Hao vanished in the blink of an eye.
"Hey... your egg... the egg! Don't you want it?" I looked at the egg on the ground, calling out after him with effort. This guy is sothing else, appearing so cold and composed, yet he could forget sothing so important as his own egg...
Yu Longting, displeased, pinched the slightly fleshy part of my neck, silencing , "Your throat hurts yet you scream so loud; he is a gentleman and intentionally left the egg for you, to let us force his hand."
"Brother, why didn't you stop sister-in-law? Making the Reincarnation Garnt consus a lot of spiritual power, and probably only by draining her completely will it be enough!!"
Yu Rongling, who had been silent until now, suddenly started yelling, "Just break the contract! Simply break it, since we hold the only hope for that guy's reincarnation in our hands."
"Rongling, it's better to resolve enmities than to create them. Wouldn't it be beneficial for Xuanjing to lose an ally?" Yu Longting slowly looked up, gazing at Yu Rongling who had just picked up Yun Hao's egg and was about to kick it away.
Yu Rongling's actions stiffened, looking at him as though he were mad, "You... are you possessed? Have you lost your mind?? You even fear making enemies now? Brother! You are a fearless giant who scorns heaven and earth, a uniquely talented destroyer I've never seen before! Why have you gone soft now?"
I looked at Yu Longting with starry eyes, full of joy, "Do you realize that I was deliberately aligning with Yun Hao? I noticed he was a gentleman, and if he could help the little snake Ah Li reincarnate, he would definitely release those children. Even if we can't beco friends, he wouldn't be our enemy in the future."
This was equivalent to sabotaging the iron triangle relationship between Xuanjing, Ancestor of Foxes, and Yun Hao.
It seed like conciliation, but it was more like a counter-espionage strategy.
"I've always been incredibly astute. I'm the worm in Madam's belly; how could I not understand your intentions!" Yu Longting's forehead bowed low, pressing against mine, placing my hand on his cheek, "Although I do not support it, I will cooperate with all your decisions."
