"I don’t want to take it off, is that okay?" Staying indoors, I could no longer use the excuse of the sunlight being too glaring, so I could only respond firmly.
Qing Li sat across from , her long, slender legs crossed.
She gently stroked the baby fuzz on Dumpling, her expression thoughtful as she looked at .
It seed like she was starting to suspect the white blindfold I always wore...
Yu Rongling, always intimidated by my elder sister-in-law, dared not question it further, muttering with dissatisfaction, "If you don’t want to take it off, then don’t. Sister-in-law, you must have a secret."
"If I’m not mistaken, that should be the Yin Yang Life and Death Embroidery of the Candle Dragon," Qing Li’s cold voice rang out, her lips curving slightly.
"I’ve heard of the Candle Dragon; it’s the ancestor of our Snake Tribe. But what’s the aning of having a Candle Dragon embroidered on your blindfold, sister-in-law?" Yu Rongling scrutinized the Candle Dragon, a human-headed serpent on my blindfold, reaching out to touch it.
I instinctively turned my head, avoiding Yu Rongling’s touch.
Currently, my eyes retained the aura of Yu Longting; I wasn’t sure if Yu Rongling would notice if he touched them.
"Oh, your intelligence..." Qing Li, once again, was defeated by Yu Rongling’s intelligence, looking at him as if he were a fool, "The Candle Dragon has the best vision among all Divine Beasts; it can see through and spy for miles."
"Oh, oh~! I get it now. That’s why sister-in-law wears the blindfold," Yu Rongling insisted confidently.
Qing Li’s arms were sore from holding Dumpling, so she shifted her position, "Oh?"
"That’s so perverted! It’s unbearable to watch! She has my brother and still wants to see good-looking guys." Yu Rongling glared at accusingly.
Seemingly used to Yu Rongling’s silliness, Qing Li just smiled slightly, "I wouldn’t rule out that possibility."
Casually, she took the cartoon folding fan from Xiao Shenshen’s hand and gently fanned Dumpling.
Xiao Shenshen’s eyes widened, staring at Qing Li’s action, "Wow! Mistress is so gentle~"
"Sister-in-law, take off the blindfold now, no peeking at other n," the brother-protecting fanatic Yu Rongling shouted at .
I casually took out a Thunder charm from my sleeve, gently holding it between two fingers, "Who said I want to look at other n? I need to stay alert, protecting mother-in-law and you. You better behave."
"Is that... is that my brother’s Purple Gold Mystic Thunder Charm?!" Yu Rongling, seeing play with the Purple Gold Charm, was so excited he almost jumped up, "Sister-in-law, you’re abusing power, bullying the weak~ wah~"
But just as he was about to leap up, I gave him a look that made him sit back down, "Sit still, no jumping around in the compartnt, it’s already cramped."
I looked longingly at Dumpling’s sleeping little face.
I really had an urge to cuddle Dumpling. Of course, what I wanted to hug more now was the child’s father.
To divert my attention, I took out the Zhang’s Hand Seals book Zhang Che gave to read.
The hand seals were complicated, changing with each hand movent.
Getting the hand seals right entirely depends on hand speed.
"Shuang Qiao, left thunder formation, right thunder formation..."
I watched Yu Longting form hand seals, doing several per second.
For a beginner like , it took over ten seconds to complete one.
Qing Li yawned, "Even if you didn’t grow up with the Lin Family, at least the Su Family is part of the Mystic Sect Orthodox. How can you seem like you’re just starting to learn hand seals?"
"I only got into mysticism in the past year." While practicing the hand seals, I distractedly glanced at Dumpling.
I thought once Dumpling woke up, I’d have to find out if there’s a nursery in the car to take him for feeding.
Qing Li, with sharp insight, noted, "It looks like the Zhang’s hand seals, not the Lin Family’s. The Zhang Family focuses on defeating enemies, the Lin Family on breaking demons."
"Yes, this is... this is from my stepfather," I murmured, sneaking a glance at Qing Li, who remained cold and indifferent as always.
I just took a deep breath, planning to finish a complete set of hand seals.
Yu Rongling’s big face ca closer, "I also haven’t learned the hand seals, sister-in-law, you should teach too."
