"There's no need to peel it, peeling is a waste! Sister-in-law, why didn't the peach work for , and now I have to drink your blood?" Baby Rongling refused the fruit knife, his face brimming with naive innocence as he carefully took a bite of the peach, treasuring it dearly.
Upon tasting the sweet freshness of the peach, his eyes lit up like little shining stars.
Beichen spoke up dryly and indifferently before I could even respond, "Given Snake Lord's temperant, he would have already given the thousand-year peach and the eight-hundred-year peach to the Lady of the Snake Lord."
Truly worthy of being a child raised by Yu Longting, he knows him too well!!
"Indeed... It sounds like sothing my brother would do."
Rongling had a wounded expression on his face, looking suddenly as if the peach in his hand had lost its appeal, "Whimper, whimper, when I wanted to bite into the two-hundred-year peach years ago, I had barely climbed the tree when my brother caught
on the spot and gave
a lump-covered beating."
"Before you got a lump-covered beating, he deliberately flew a kite and chased you across one hundred and fifty mountains, exhausting you to the point of nearly dispersing your power," Beichen reminded him in a chillingly calm tone.
Baby Rongling truly found the past unbearable to look back upon, bursting into a storm of tears, "It was too tragic, my brother really had severe food-protective tendencies back then."
"Actually, he was mainly reminiscing, no one was allowed to touch the peaches once they ripened."
With the most ordinary tone, Beichen revealed the truth, "Now you're also benefitting from it, getting to eat one."
"That's what I'm saying! Rongling with a sister-in-law at his side is like a treasure~ Coming to her side, happiness is everywhere to be found."
Upon hearing Beichen's words, Rongling instantly ca back to life, his excitent unrestrained. He was so excited that he could have danced around even while lying in bed,
"The last six-hundred-year peach in the world was eaten by , Second Master, and I am also one-of-a-kind, a snake favored by the heavens."
"You've recovered quite quickly, it seems you... are fine now."
I touched Rongling's forehead, lined with frustration, but indeed, it was no longer so heated, and the heart of an anxious elder sister I had been carrying was finally put to rest.
After consulting with Beichen, we decided to rest in City B for one night.
Allowing Second Master Yu so ti to recover before setting off back to Spring Wind Town.
Leaving City B behind, during the ti I stayed at Snake Mountain,
the entertainnt circle had already undergone earth-shaking changes.
Many forums and Douban groups exposed the sleep-for-hire scandal photos, accompanied by recordings as proof, leading to Hu Jiao's complete downfall.
She was also caught for inciting others to commit illegal acts in private and taken to the station for investigation, ending her career in show business.
Han Dai announced her pregnancy on Weibo, compensated the current production for any reasonable losses due to her absence, and rested at ho to take care of the baby.
Nowadays, the entertainnt industry is much more inclusive than before, and the public generally accepts female celebrities getting married and having children.
However, suddenly semi-retiring at the peak of one's career still caused dissatisfaction among so fans, leading to a severe decline in popularity.
It would be very difficult for her to make a coback in the future.
Bai Yinman's news was the most unusual, as she managed to get back together with her university first love and even posted hand-holding photos on Weibo.
In my hotel room, after scrolling through the various ssages flooding the internet, I lay down on the bed and closed my eyes.
First, I did my evening prayers, then transferred so of my Spiritual Power into the cheongsam.
I faintly sensed a consumption of five percent and imdiately stopped.
It's not that I'm stingy and unwilling to give Yu Longting more Spiritual Power, it's just that he's not by my side right now.
With Rongling being weak, I have to help Beichen stay prepared for any ergencies that might occur, to deal with anything that might happen and protect Baby Rongling.
That night, I slept incredibly deeply.
So deeply that in the pitch darkness of the dream, I could clearly feel that it was very difficult to wake up.
This dream transitioned slowly from simple to complex, a sequential process.
As I walked through the darkness, a gas lamp appeared in my hand. The gothic-style black-frad gas lamp lit up a ter in front of .
In the utterly chaotic world, thanks to this bit of visibility, it looked like a forest in the night.
In the area illuminated by the lamp light, I could see tree roots on the ground and the thick trunks of trees...
Gradually, the sound of night owls with their strange and frightening calls in the night began to fill my ears, bleak and unnervingly grim.
And then, I heard the lodious and tender voice of opera singing carried through the night wind.
It wasn't strange for there to be night owls in the woods, but singing opera? This place looked particularly like a prival forest, how could there be people here?
Could it be... could there be so unclean presence??
I was completely chilled with fear, and an inexplicable coldness spread throughout my body. I struggled to wake myself up but found myself going deeper into the heart of the forest in the dream.
"Who dares to trap the Second Master in this place? Just a lousy forest, believe it or not, I can burn it all down with a single fire?!"
