"Yes, Snake Lord," Beichen strictly complied with the command.
The words "Living Dead" plunging me into deep thought.
Although I didn't know what Living Dead meant, it was also the first time I had heard the term.
But from what could be seen thus far,
it should be a life longer than that of ordinary people and not accepted by the Lin's Exorcist Family.
In fact, a long time ago, Yu Longting had revealed Beichen's true identity.
He had disclosed that Beichen's age was not what it appeared to be, and he had just told me again, Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn NoveI-Fire.ɴet
that Beichen had already died when he found him.
Without understanding Beichen's circumstances,
If I had known this aspect of his background, I would definitely have broken out in a cold sweat.
At the moment, Beichen and I were familiar with each other,
and I knew the nature of Beichen well.
So, his background really doesn't matter at all.
What's important is the person he is.
With Beichen's loyal and affectionate character, once he had started this relationship, he would definitely make proper arrangements and wouldn't let Xiao Li suffer the slightest harm.
It was this trust that, although I had many thoughts, I did not go to Yu Longting to ask outright.
Spring Wind Town was relatively remote, about thirty kilometers from the nearest airport.
I fell asleep in the car without realizing it.
The weather today was a bit humid and stuffy,
which was hardly comfortable in itself and even my dreams became sticky.
The entire dream was chaotic and made one feel extremely heavy.
I woke up in cold sweat, the last scene in a temple where Lin Huan's and my mother's heads lay bloodied on the ground, deeply engraved in my mind.
I couldn't remember anything else.
Maybe that was all I dreamed about?
I was very confused, my eyes completely unfocused, my fingers subconsciously pinching the brow, "Yu Longting…how long did I sleep?"
"Ten minutes." Yu Longting, noticing my discomfort, opened a bottle of water and fed it to me. "What's wrong? Suddenly you're in such a bad state, you're pale enough to directly play a female ghost."
"I had a strange dream, and I only slept for such a short time."
Even after drinking the water, my state did not recover.
My right eyelid kept twitching.
Yu Longting frowned deeply, "People usually have nightmares because of evil spirits; as a Spiritual Girl, you are the least likely to have nightmares."
"I have my own spiritual power for protection, and with you by my side, ordinary evil spirits cannot get close to me."
I couldn't help but repeat the bloody scene in the temple in my mind, the two severed heads on the ground staring at me with wide eyes, "So, what I've had may not be a common nightmare, Yu Longting. I might have a whimsical request."
"Say it, let your husband hear it. How whimsical can it be?" Yu Longting adjusted my position so I leaned completely against him, enveloping my slightly stiff body completely.
I was genuinely cold from fear, "I want to change our route and go to Granny Wu's."
"That is indeed whimsical, it's over fifty kilometers from here to Granny Wu's,"
Yu Longting curved his lips slightly and commanded, "Beichen, change our route to Granny Wu's."
"I always feel that this trip back to the Lin Family might not be peaceful, so I thought of getting some materials to make a Divination Robe, just in case," I said, my heart racing, unsure how to express myself to Yu Longting, curling up my body and seeming very insecure.
Yu Longting had already taken his coat from the luggage, wrapping it around me from behind, "I'll cast a divination and see the fortune of our trip."
"That's exactly what I was thinking! I wanted to make a Divination Robe," I said excitedly as I straightened up, the coat wrapped around my body almost falling off.
Yu Longting pressed down on the coat, ordering discontentedly, "Stay down."
