"Shh, don't spout nonsense—I'm seriously beginning to suspect that you're trying to sow discord," I whispered, placing my index finger on my lips and glancing back at Xiao Li.
Fortunately, Xiao Li had drunk the herbal dicine we'd prepared earlier and fallen asleep.
Beichen sat by the bed, like a weathered statue.
"How would causing strife benefit ? I'm rely curious why you want to hide it," Yu Longting rested his hand on the steering wheel, glanced at Beichen through the rear-view mirror, "Beichen, do you know what to do?"
"I know. I won't stir up trouble in front of Xiao Li. I didn't hear anything," Beichen said gravely.
I breathed a little easier, lowering my voice, "Anyway, I will definitely seek my revenge, but as they say, 'Revenge is a dish best served cold.'"
"It seems the Missus is determined to avenge herself." Yu Longting, in good spirits for so reason, chuckled softly from his throat but didn't pursue the matter further.
It was as if he had grasped my entire train of thought, as though he saw right through with just a glance.
Xiao Li's ho was near Spring Wind Town in City Z.
Her parents were regular employees, living in housing provided by their employer.
The car arrived beneath an old unit block in the suburbs of City Z; Beichen lifted the sleeping Xiao Li from the car and headed straight upstairs.
Xiao Li had just miscarried and was extrely weak.
This was when she was most emotionally vulnerable and longing for ho—a perfect ti to recuperate at ho.
Once her parents learned of Xiao Li's situation, their thoughts would surely be consud with worry for their daughter. Yu Longting and I felt it wasn't right to disturb them and didn't accompany them upstairs.
"Are you sure you don't want your husband's help? Ten Thousand Poison Hall is a formidable faction, and dealing with them might be a bit tricky," Yu Longting said, driving out of the residential area, his hand roaming more vigorously on my thigh.
I pressed down on his wandering hand, holding it in my palm, "How could I not want it? The mont I encounter a difficulty, I'll be seeking your help first."
This deep-seated hatred, I must avenge with my own hands!
Otherwise, I couldn't atone for the pain Xiao Li's miscarriage, nor for the ordeal both she and I endured treating the Gu Poison these past days.
If I truly am unable to handle it, then I'll use Yu Longting, this indestructible Green Dragon Crescent Blade, at just the right mont.
On the road, I rested for a while.
By the ti we reached Spring Wind Town, I had just woken up.
Yu Longting caught a pure white Jade Tablet that flew in through the window, which was quite a piece of advanced technology.
After it illuminated, it automatically emitted a voice, "Bro~have you found your sister-in-law yet? I'm nearly crumbling here, co save ..."
Suddenly, the sorry pleadings of Yu Rongling cut off abruptly.
"Trouble," Yu Longting frowned, about to stuff the Jade Tablet into his sleeve.
I swiftly stopped him, "Xiao Yuer's ssage wasn't even finished yet. Why did you cut it off? He must have sent the Jade Tablet because there's no cell signal in the Serpent Domain."
If the situation wasn't urgent, Yu Rongling wouldn't have been forced to send a Jade Tablet.
Yu Longting, as a brother, was actually cutting off the distress ssage out of annoyance...
What a tough older brother~
"With his strength, he should be able to hold on a bit longer, no need to rush," Yu Longting said as he noticed my worried expression for Yu Rongling and handed the Jade Tablet; his finger tapping it and a white light appeared.
From the Jade Tablet ca Xiao Yuer's desperate cries, "Help! The Snake Spirits in the Serpent Domain are too fierce, I really can't hold on much longer, my dear brother, after you find your sister-in-law, could you please care a little about your dear brother? I'm badly injured and almost done for...and with the New Year around the corner, do you really want to spend it with a bunch of vicious Snake Spirits..."
"Xiao Yuer seems to be in a really bad spot," I had just finished speaking when the car stopped in front of a restaurant.
