"She's been hit with the Forbidden Woman Witchcraft, Immortal Liu, please save her." Chen Shufen's hand in mine grew colder and colder.
Immortal Liu cradled her arm with one hand, "Wanwan, I still prefer you to call me 'sister'."
"Immortal Liu... sister..." I felt an inexplicable sense of shame.
I always felt like Immortal Liu was teasing me!
"Good girl, Sister Wan~"
With a satisfied curve of her lips, Immortal Liu walked over leisurely and took Chen Shufen's pulse, "Forbidden Woman in this day and age? Huh? It really is Forbidden Woman Witchcraft..."
At first, her tone was dismissive, but after feeling the pulse for a while,
the smile on her face diminished greatly, and pressing on Chen Shufen's swollen belly, her seductive eyes suddenly filled with a somber fury, "This is a Forbidden Technique that causes difficult labor, who did this, how dare they... how dare they do such a thing..."
"I don't know who did it either." I felt like there was a huge stone pressing on my heart, almost suffocating me.
Immortal Liu raised an eyebrow, "Poor thing, the child has been cursed so fiercely that it's barely alive. We can only perform a C-section to remove the stillbirth, otherwise both the mother and child will suffer."
"Even... even you can't do anything? But these two children are so hard to come by, I really... don't want anything to happen to them..." I couldn't control the pain in my heart, and tears rolled down my cheeks.
Xiao Li's heartstrings snapped.
She threw herself into Beichen's arms, crying uncontrollably.
Beichen, the man with a face of steel, now also had tears in his eyes.
Chen Decheng, unable to handle the shock, blacked out and collapsed.
Just as I was on the verge of suffocation from the pain, Immortal Liu wiped the tears from my face with the pad of her finger, "Others might beg me, but there's nothing I can do because it would drain a lot of my power. However, Wanwan, you are my benefactor. I cannot bear to see you this upset, so I will give it my best try."
"I'm sorry, your Cultivation wasn't easy, yet I made such a request." I apologized.
I was indeed heartbroken for the children in the tavern owner's belly, but I was also mindful of the difficulty of Immortal Liu's Cultivation.
I would definitely find a way to make up for Immortal Liu's loss at any opportunity in the future.
With a smile, Immortal Liu wiped all the tears from my face, "Has your husband ever told you? You look so adorable when you cry, I almost turned gay. If it weren't for you having Yu Longting as your husband, I would have snatched you away to my Snake Cave. So cry less, otherwise, your chastity might not be safeguarded, do you understand?"
I: "..."
After hearing Immortal Liu's words, the tears in my eyes were so scared they froze on the brink.
They were stuck there, not daring to fall.
I was being teased again!
"I will help too, so Immortal Liu, you won't lose too much cultivation," I managed to say.
Yu Rongling's voice came unexpectedly, his lips were purple, and his complexion was ashen.
He was dressed in the oversized Cultivation Spiritual Garment I made, looking like he had just awakened from a thousand years of decay.
Immortal Liu looked at Yu Rongling with a half-smile and glanced over him, "You, such a stingy snake, made so many complaints when saving my grandson, afraid of losing Cultivation or ranking. Why are you so willing to sacrifice this time?"
Yu Rongling hurried over, stepping between me and Immortal Liu, "My brother is not here, I have to look after Sister-in-Law for him. I can't let Sister-in-Law owe you too much. You Demonic Snake, actually... wanting to seduce my Sister-in-Law, she's half my brother's life~"
Yu Er's overly cautious expression was comically accurate, as if the unsaid message was.
If Sister-in-Law is taken by you, does my brother still have a reason to live?
"Yu Er, your poison..." My facial expression stiffened, unsure of how to broach the subject.
I couldn't possibly stop Yu Er from helping in front of Immortal Liu, especially after she had offered to use her powers to save someone.
But I was concerned about Yu Er's poison, and felt unusually burdened.
Yu Rongling interrupted me, sensibly saying, "Sister-in-Law, my poison is nothing serious. Believe me, I'm not a useless snake. I can help you."
