"Okay, hubby will figure it out and get it for you."
Yu Longting, always eager to fulfill all my wishes, said.
That night, I slept soundly.
It wasn't until dawn that I dreamt of Qing Li, but she wasn't terrifying.
She just stood in the corner crying, tears dripping down one by one.
In the dream, moved by compassion, I walked over to wipe her tears.
She clutched my hand tightly, and asked despairingly, "Why... why did you take away my daughter and my husband, Su Wan, do I owe you?"
"Oh, my," I suddenly felt guilty and woke up with a start.
When I opened my eyes, I was still in Yu Longting's arms, but my forehead was covered in sweat.
Yu Longting, catching a glimpse of my uneasy look, captured my dream, "Heh, dreamt of Qing Li?"
"Yeah, she asked me why I wanted to take her husband." I suddenly smiled broadly and snuggled back into Yu Longting's arms.
Yet in my heart, I silently prayed, Yu Longting, please never deceive me.
Just continue liking only me, okay...
It had hardly been half a minute of being clingy.
Suddenly, I remembered something, "Xiao Yuanyuan and Xiao Honghong are gone."
"Under the bed," Yu Longting said.
I was a bit confused by what he meant by 'under the bed.'
The two Gu Insects were so clingy to me.
They stayed under the bed all night without showing up?
And... how could Yu Longting possibly tolerate me being naked in front of two Gu Insects.
Even if they are genderless, they are still insects...
I put on the cheongsam, blushing as I asked him to help button it up.
Yu Longting, with nimble hands, had all the buttons fastened in half a minute.
I couldn't wait to climb out of bed.
I lay on the ground, searching for the Gu Insects under the bed.
Indeed, there were two Gu Insects under the bed, unmoving, seemingly lifeless.
I had to disregard the dust under the bed and reach under to pull them out.
The moment the two Gu Insects were in my palm, I realized they were actually tied up tightly with thin strands of hair.
They were immobile, almost like mummies.
I knew it! In such a perilous situation yesterday.
The two Gu Insects, so dependent on me, how could they not come out to protect me?
I crawled out, and when I raised my head, I bumped into the edge of the bed.
I was braced for severe pain, but instead, my head softly bumped into Yu Longting's palm; yet unappreciatively, I said angrily, "You threw them under the bed, didn't you!"
"Yeah, when I was cleaning your body, I found these two useless creatures tightly bound with Qing Li's hair, frozen into insect jerky, so I temporarily asked them to stay under the bed," Yu Longting cleared a cobweb from atop my head, his face bright with a clear, good-looking smile.
I was almost mesmerized by his charm, not minding the dust on my face and lips, and kissed the corner of his lips, "Pulling me out , you are so persuasive, a flick of your silver tongue could sprout a Golden Lotus! You clearly did it on purpose, putting them under the bed with the Forbidden Woman's power in the hair, no ordinary method would release them." Newest update provided by novel·fire.net
"Burn it," Yu Longting said as he lifted me out and cuddled me warmly in his arms for a while before setting me down on a chair next to him.
I scowled, "They'll feel pain."
"Cut it with a sharp tool," Yu Longting drew a sword from his sleeve and handed it to me.
I wielded the somewhat heavy sword, cutting the hair off the two Gu Insects.
The two Gu Insects were unbound but still motionless.
Heartbroken, I touched them, breathing warm air on them, "Xiao Yuanyuan, Xiao Honghong, don't scare me, you're powerful Gu Insects, you can't just die , right?"
"Hiss... I'm freezing... so cold..." Xiao Honghong was the first to shiver back to consciousness.
Xiao Yuanyuan also gradually curled up and regained sensation, "Cold..."
