"Being a mother-in-law, you are quite incompetent, huh? My brother gave the Life Token to my sister-in-law, and just with a thought, she could kill my brother. Doesn't that count as love?"
Rongling popped up out of nowhere and suddenly took a jab at my mom.
This jerk actually dared to criticize my mom!!
No matter if what my mom said made sense or not, how dare he bully my mother!!
Uncles might tolerate it, but aunts cannot!
I struggled to muster some strength and opened my eyes.
I wanted to help my mom, but I realized I had already been carried away from my mom's dormitory.
Upon seeing Longting's handsome and wicked face, all my anger was soothed, my arm weakly lifted to touch his face, "You gave your life to me... Longting..."
I really couldn't muster the strength in my arm, and with all my effort failed to reach him.
Longting put me back on the bed, tucked me in, and placed my hand on his cheek, "It has always been yours, Wanwan. I told you before, you are a goblin, bewitching me completely out of my senses. Crazy and wild for you, banging my head against the wall for you!"
"Talk about the pot calling the kettle black, you're the one who is the real charmer, and I'm just a regular human..."
The little strength I had managed to gather was easily drained, and I fell back into a deep sleep.
I slept until nightfall, unconsciously turning over in my sleep.
I turned into a pair of long, slender legs, their cool touch and the familiar scent stiffening my spine.
What the heck?
I had been sleeping with my head on Longting's thigh, and he had stayed by my bedside all night?
Suddenly, I remembered the sweet nothings Longting had whispered before I blacked out:
"Crazy and wild for you, banging my head against the wall for you!"
What kind of cheesy romance talk was that?
And I actually found it charming.
My heart raced.
Softly into my ear, a woman's voice, sultry to the bone, spoke, "Snake Lord, have I come at a bad time~ disrupting a dreamy night between you and Miss Su?"
"Your timing is perfect, and it's about the matter we discussed before, I need your help to find part of the Ancestor of Foxes' Remnant Soul."
Longting seemed to realize I was awake, and deliberately touched my hair, "Here is a list, just follow this to find them."
Hearing that Longting even had a list surprised me.
I couldn't pretend to sleep anymore, curiously poking my head out.
I saw standing at the head of the bed, a tall slender figure dressed in a turquoise chiffon robe, Immortal Liu.
Immortal Liu truly was a beauty, more enchanting than the actress Lin Qingxia, with a charm reminiscent of Xiao Qing.
Even in a green dress that would make a gorgeous person cry ugly, she looked stunningly beautiful.
Immortal Liu glanced at the sheet in her hand, "The sects we'll offend are no joke, are you trying to get me killed?"
"Get you killed? Your ex-husband went to the Lin Family, the Zhang Family..."
Before Longting could finish his mocking remark, Immortal Liu interrupted him anxiously, her voice soft and fragile, "Enough, enough, those formidable clans, better let Cloud Viper handle them, because I cherish my life way too much."
"Don't be afraid of offending people, in the future we'll offend them all eventually. As the saying goes, those with bare feet aren't afraid of those with shoes. You have to start with the right mindset, otherwise, you'll break down before we even start," Longting advised Immortal Liu with a rebellious lift of his eyebrows, like a psychologist.
Immortal Liu's face wore an expression as if she was spitting blood, "Snake Lord!! Can you talk sense? I find the more I get to know you, the more I regret it..."
"Right, you all are snakes, so why do you need to communicate in Mandarin?" I questioned the sense in Longting's words, a soul-searching question.
