"Beichen is actually on the brink of death at any second,"
Yu Longting's eyes were heavy with concern, "Especially at night, that's when it's the most dangerous."
If I had any strength in me, I almost would have jumped out of Yu Longting's embrace, "What did you say?"
"After the Blood Curse was triggered a second time, Beichen would have actually died on the spot, if not for his own strength that has kept him hanging by a thread."
Yu Longting found an empty room, carried me in, and placed me on the bed, "Tonight, we must stay and guard him, to prevent any mishap."
"Don't worry about me, go take care of Beichen, I'm fine." As soon as I heard about Beichen's condition, which seemed even more perilous than what Yu Longting had told Xiao Li, I quickly pushed him away.
Yu Longting couldn't help but laugh, "You sure are quick to push me onto someone else. I just placed a talisman paper on him, if his condition changes, I'll sense it beforehand."
"You're always so thoughtful and attentive, it's really great to have you here." I gently hugged his waist, grateful for his meticulous arrangements.
I hadn't even noticed when he put the talisman paper on just now.
Xiao Li was so distressed, she probably didn't either.
Yu Longting pulled over a blanket and wrapped me up in it, "No seducing your husband now, the only thing you should be doing is resting up well."
"Oh~" I knew that if I didn't recover properly, I would remain weak.
Not only would I be unable to help Yu Longting, but I would also become a burden.
Even though my heart was in turmoil, I still forced myself to set aside all distracting thoughts and fall asleep.
During the night, I could vaguely sense that Yu Longting went out several times, probably to check on Beichen.
I didn't let myself fully wake up, focusing instead on recuperating through sleep.
When I awoke the next day, I indeed felt refreshed and clear-headed.
I didn't even bother with washing up after changing clothes, going straight to check on Beichen.
Yu Longting was sitting in a chair, taking Beichen's pulse, "You should realize that being conscious with the curse upon you is not a good sign."
"I'm aware, it's the calm before the storm." Beichen looked at Xiao Li's worried eyes and squeezed her hand, "Only those who are unconscious can live a little longer."
Xiao Li hung her head, wordless.
After just one day and night of taking care of Beichen, she had thinned considerably.
She was just a girl who wanted to experience sweet love, yet now was faced with life and death.
Yu Longting patted Beichen's shoulder, "Stimulating, isn't it?"
"Haha, stimulating," Beichen said, his face pale.
Yu Longting laughed, "Going through a lot is good for young people."
"Snake Lord, you're really funny." Beichen's mouth twitched, his heart aching as he looked at Xiao Li with red-rimmed eyes.
If anyone else but Yu Longting had made these jokes, Beichen probably would have punched them by now.
I coughed softly from the doorway.
I just couldn't stand it anymore, Yu Longting was being ridiculously frivolous.
He usually likes to tease people.
But those were not moments facing matters of life and death.
Now, with Beichen's life hanging by a thread and Xiao Li so worried,
this was not the time for jokes.
Beichen saw me and touched his forehead, "Lady of the Snake Lord, please take your Snake Lord away."
"I'll take him away right now, and won't cause you even the slightest trouble." I pulled Yu Longting away to avoid him being a nuisance to the young couple.
Yu Longting held my wrist, "You're recovering well, your body is stronger, so you start to scold your husband? What's this cloth puppet for? Do you want me to go find Su Xiaomin? Well, Madam, you have to eat first. If you don't have breakfast with me, we are not going out."
"Fine... let's have breakfast, let's go outside and see where we can find something to eat." I looked at his carefree appearance and resentfully took back the cloth puppet I had handed to him.
Thinking to hurry up and find a place to eat, finish, and then go look for Su Xiaomin, we've already wasted a whole night...
Just then, the door of Immortal Liu's house was knocked upon violently, and the person outside seemed especially impatient, knocking persistently with a thud thud thud.
