"Is there a peach tree next to your cave?" I could feel the special texture of the fabric on the outer robe, completely isolating the cold and uncomfortable feeling from the stone bed.
Yu Longting said, "There are a few peach trees planted by predecessors."
"I quite like peaches. I heard they are good for pregnant women, but I'm not sure if that's true." I lay on my side, too weak to get up.
Yu Longting kissed my forehead, then his figure disappeared.
The Snake Cave was very quiet. The only sound came from the droplets falling into a stone bowl.
Just thinking that this was Yu Longting's cave, the place he had always lived, made me feel especially peaceful inside.
I dozed off again in a daze.
Faintly, I heard footsteps coming through the puddles.
The steps were three parts casual, seven parts lazy.
Very similar to Yu Longting's usual walking habits.
"Yu Longting, have you picked the peaches?" My stomach was already growling with hunger.
For a long time, I heard no response from Yu Longting.
Only then did I start to wonder and got up, "Why aren't you speaking? It's okay if you didn't find any peaches, after all, it's not the peach season."
The late-ripening peaches usually mature around June or July.
Now it was clearly winter. When Yu Longting said he was going to pick peaches, I hadn't thought much about it.
Given how seriously he takes his promises to me, if he hadn't found any peaches outside, Find the newest release on novel•fire.net
I was quite worried he wouldn't be able to get over it emotionally.
"Eh... you... Qing Li!" I got a huge fright when I saw the face of the person arriving, and hurriedly pulled Yu Longting's robe from beneath me to wrap around my body for cover.
The person before me was dressed in a green robe.
Her skin was white as fine porcelain, and she was stunningly beautiful.
With just a glimpse, even I, a woman, was taken aback by her beauty.
She looked so different from her white-faced appearance; I had to closely observe her features to recognize that this woman was the same as the pale-faced stranger from that night.
When Qing Li saw me on the stone bed, she was even more shocked than I was, "Su Wan, you... you're still alive? Qingyang didn't kill you!" The peaches wrapped in banana leaves she was holding rolled to the ground.
"Sorry to disappoint you, but not only am I alive, I have also converted the zombie demons created by Qingyang." I saw the angry and shocked look on Qing Li's face, as well as her now even brighter bald head, and I couldn't help but smirk.
Yu Longting had been ruthless, burning off all of Qing Li's hair back then.
Later, when she grew hair again to attack me, I always thought her hair growth was unusually fast.
That was until the Flying Head Barbarian appeared, and I realized the hair she used later was actually borrowed from others.
Qing Li was indeed bald; there was no doubt about it.
"You... you better not look at my head! Bitch, it's all your fault." Qing Li, embarrassed, touched her bald head and hid behind a natural rock pillar, avoiding my gaze.
Her beauty was so extraordinary.
It made me feel a bit regretful inside, the downfall of the beautiful Qing Li.
If she hadn't used her hair to kill, it wouldn't have been destroyed by that fire from Yu Longting.
"Qing Li, even without hair, you are still very beautiful." I sincerely said and couldn't help but squint my eyes; Qing Li's crimes were equally numerous, "So, the Forbidden Woman Witchcraft that Qingyang used to create zombie demons, was it taught by you?"
"Qingyang is my younger brother. We siblings have always helped each other," Qing Li replied with a cold, disdainful snort, "Hmph, knowing Qingyang's temper, you ruined his plans, he wouldn't let you off easily."
