"Mommy, who's the blind fool daring to threaten me?" Xiao Honghong was once again enraged to the point of rampage.
The Little Dumpling in my belly had transformed from the usually sweet Little Cutie into a devilish young master, berating the heavens and the earth, "My mom didn't even despise your lousy foot-scratching. Hmph, you're just a centipede and you dare to look down on my mom, without even taking a look at yourself in the mirror."
It was indeed a clash that made Yu Rongling doubt his significance in life.
Xiao Honghong flew towards my belly, wildly enraged, surrounded by a mist of blood, "I laugh in your face, I thought who could it be? Turns out it's Snake Baby, Master Hong's nemesis. Master Hong will suck your blood dry and send you to reincarnate. In your next life, learn some manners, and maybe you'll live to see birth."
"Master Hong, Brother Hong, Hero Hong~ don't be impulsive." I quickly grabbed Xiao Honghong, which had landed on my abdomen, and caressed its long insect spine from front to back, "Why fuss over an unborn baby who doesn't know anything and just babbles nonsense? If it has offended you, I apologize on its behalf."
"You're such a strange woman, why can't I... hurt you?" Xiao Honghong, resting on my palm, raised its little head, unwilling to concede, and glared at me with its red eyes.
I touched its head with the tips of my fingers, "Maybe you can't bear to do it? I feel... like we have quite the connection... don't you think...?"
"Not at all!" Xiao Honghong bit my finger angrily.
Seeing that I was bitten made the Little Dumpling in my belly instantly furious, "You dare to bully my mom, I'll beat you to death, you stinky bug."
If I hadn't stopped it with my Spiritual Power, the little guy would have definitely charged out to fight Xiao Honghong.
And the consequence was that his father would have to go find some tonic herbs to nourish him again...
"Dumpling, Xiao Honghong didn't bully me, it was just joking with me, look! Just a tiny bite mark that will disappear in a minute or two." There was only a tiny sharp indent on my fingertip, and the skin wasn't even broken.
That's what I was thinking when Xiao Honghong lunged towards my neck.
It could have placed a gu inside me within minutes, torturing me to the point of wishing for death.
But it didn't.
The little thing didn't even realize it couldn't bring itself to harm me, just a proud tsundere.
The Little Dumpling was also bewildered, "Mommy... you're not hurt..."
"Got a bit carried away, didn't you? Impulsiveness is the devil, Dumpling. Xiao Honghong is our friend, our ally! It would never hurt us," I patted my belly, reassuring Little Dumpling.
Xiao Honghong retorted, "I'm not your friend, it's... your blood smells too bad, I can't stomach it."
"Fine, it's all because my blood isn't fragrant enough," I went along with Xiao Honghong's comment, but then flipped it over and gave its belly a rub~
After being stroked by me, Xiao Honghong fell into a sulk.
It curled up in my palm like a Michelin tire, "You've got no shame, a bug's belly isn't something you can just touch willy-nilly," it protested.
I chuckled and placed Xiao Honghong on my shoulder.
I took care of everything in the room, yawned, and went to bed.
Being disturbed in the middle of the night and managing to fall asleep again meant the quality of my sleep was bound to be poor, leaving me feeling groggy and headachy.
I faintly heard the sound of the bedroom door being pushed open, Yu Longting's voice was filled with urgency, "Wanwan, Wanwan! Are you... okay?"
Still groggy with sleepiness, I woke up slightly irritated, looking bewildered at Yu Longting bursting into the room.
Yu Longting approached with a grim face, quickly reached the bedside, and pressing his forehead down, he sounded a bit exasperated, "Damn, you're actually sleeping, I was so worried something happened to you. I know all about last night, someone tricked the service staff into using a card to enter, why didn't you tell me on WeChat?"
"Yu Longting, you're finally back, I..."
I stretched out my arms eagerly, wrapping them tightly around his neck and leaning into him, "I really wanted to tell you, the incident last night was terrifying, I was almost... scared to death."
