"You dare to say that you have no feelings for me at all? If you had none... not even a trace of affection, why would you... destroy that disgusting Flying Head Barbarian, release my Primordial Spirit, and live with me day and night?"
Qing Li, her body engulfed in white flames, ran a few steps forward, her fingernails suddenly growing longer, trying to scratch my face. Yet, she fell to the ground just an inch away from Yu Longting and me.
Yu Longting lowered his eyes, the ink-black orbs showing for the first time a darkness I couldn't penetrate, like an endless abyss of Hell, "Sorry to say, you're really too narcissistic. I only have feelings of admiration for you. I can tolerate anything you do, even clean up your messes for you, except when you harm my beloved."
Feelings of admiration...
I feel like... I'm illiterate.
I can't even understand an idiom anymore.
Snake Lord!! Yu Longting!! White Snake!! Big brother!! Boss!! The Great Ying Long!!
Tell me, what on earth do you mean by that! Are you sure you're not using the idiom wrong...
The thoughts in my mind churned like Nezha stirring the sea, completely throwing me into disarray.
Within a few seconds, I realized.
Qing Li's power had been weakened to the extreme by the Dragon Fire, her body merely a hair's breadth from being consumed by the flames, "Wait, Yu Longting... is she your mother?? Oh my god, oh my god!! Big brother, you can't kill her."
"The decisions I make never change, she has put you in danger time and time again, she deserves to die," said Yu Longting coldly.
My scalp went numb; he was willing to commit matricide for me, how could I bear such a sin.
Cold sweat soaked my entire body, just a second ago I was very weak.
The next second, as adrenaline surged, Spiritual Power suddenly flowed through all the meridians in my body.
In two or three movements, I broke free from Yu Longting's embrace, grabbing a handful of charms and rushing in front of Qing Li. I really couldn't hesitate; I threw all the protective charms I had at her, "Heed my command, swift as law, protect her with all your might."
A golden light appeared, and numerous charms combined into one, sticking to Qing Li's forehead.
The strong Gang Qi emitted from the charm directly isolated the Dragon Fire.
Qing Li stood under the protection of the golden light, with a dumbfounded and dazed expression.
As the Dragon Fire was cut off and lost its target, it paused for a moment, then transformed into an enormous pure white Dragon Fire, lunging at me in retaliation. I immediately turned tail and ran, "Yu Longting, why is your fire burning me! Control it, come on, I'm not wearing shoes, there are so many stones on the ground, it's killing me, my hair... is catching... fire..."
"Foolishness, Wanwan, how dare you provoke the Dragon Fire." Yu Longting's figure flashed abruptly, shielding me firmly in his embrace, using his back to block the incoming Dragon Fire.
Yu Longting clutched me tightly, grunting softly.
The brightness of the fire-lit cave dimmed.
Dragon Fire, extinguished.
I hurried to check Yu Longting's body, "Are you okay, are you burned, do you know that playing with fire is dangerous?" Discover more novels at novèlfire.net
"Wife, I am not hurt; that was my Dragon Breath, it won't harm me," Yu Longting tightened his hold on me, nearly crushing all the bones in my body. My bones ached terribly, but a weight lifted from my heart. Enduring the pain, I gently stroked his back, "I'm glad you're fine, sorry for being rash, don't be mad at me. Luckily, everyone is safe, I'm fine, you're fine, Qing Li is fine too."
Now should be the most unsettled he has ever been, I should primarily be soothing him.
"Fine?? Su Wan!! When you charged forward just now, you scared my heart into stopping," Yu Longting exclaimed extremely annoyed, each word wrapped in a chill that made one shiver.
I was about to say a few more soothing words to smooth things over when I caught Qing Li's gaze, dull and collapsing. At that moment, her complexion resembled a ruin bombed by fighter jets, "Yu Longting... when... when did you discover it... discover my true identity... you shouldn't have known..."
