Yu Longting's unrestrained and solemn voice had just fallen when "snap" went a sound.
Zhang Zidao's palm struck Yu Longting's face solidly, "Evil Snake! My disciple must be blind to have been so... deeply in love with you!"
"Exactly, young Madam is blind," Xiao Shenshen hopped onto the bed again.
Waving its tiny short arms in protest, "young master, naughty."
Yu Longting glanced at Xiao Shenshen and flicked him off the bed as if he were dusting off ash.
"Old Taoist Zhang... you... why are you hitting people randomly, Yu Longting, how are you?"
I looked at Yu Longting who had been hit, feeling anxious inside.
But there was also an unprecedented warmth; he must know I would never bear to sacrifice Xiao Shenshen.
He wasn't just ordinary herbal material; he was a lovely little life.
If I truly ate Xiao Shenshen to extend my own life for a few days, I would have a terrible shadow in my heart for the rest of my life, living with immense guilt and heaviness.
Yu Longting's long fingers pinched the back of my neck, pulling my body to lean forward, touching his forehead to mine.
This man, with a devilishly charming face that could topple cities, had an even more enchanting smile when he curled the corner of his lips, "Wanwan, forgive me."
"I'm not angry at all, what's there to forgive, I..." I reached out and touched his cheek that had been reddened by the slap, when suddenly, I felt heaviness on my neck.
My mind also started to feel dizzy, and I found myself collapsing onto Yu Longting's body.
The residual consciousness in my mind stubbornly clung on.
Damn it!! He actually knocked me out!!
When he knocked out Yu Rongling, I supported this behavior. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NoveI-Fire.ɴet
Never did I expect that this would happen to me now!!
It's like thirty years on the east side of the river and thirty years on the west, once an accomplice in tyranny, now suffering the consequences; it's a case of reaping what one has sown.
Yu Longting... could it be that he is going to do something inhumane to Xiao Shenshen after knocking me out?
Don't... Xiao Shenshen is in my heart like a child who never grows up...
He and other lives nurtured by parents are equally important existences.
He is not any less because he is a plant.
If one day I fall ill and need to eat a living person, would he also help me catch a living person to eat?
During the process of falling unconscious, my confused consciousness turned into a little red figure.
Wandering lost among the body's meridians and collaterals.
From the abyss of my consciousness, I could faintly hear sounds from the outside world, but they were mere fragments of speech that were difficult to understand.
"Take my Life Lamp, exchange it with Su Wan's. I will just be weak, but it will keep Su Wan... alive."
"You think exchanging... Life Lamps is so easy? It requires someone with pure Spiritual Power to protect the Life Lamp, only then the exchange can be completed."
"There is a way, though. The Ice Silkworm acknowledges its owner Ginseng, and the power cultivated from Ginseng is pure."
"Tsk, Old Taoist Priest has found a treasure, an intelligent and cute disciple, and a master who is the Snake Lord, cunningly brilliant beyond words~"
These voices tumbled through my mind, one after another.
It took me a long time to barely come to my senses.
Someone... is trying to exchange Life Lamps with me, to save my life...
Who is it... who is being so good to me...
To such a monstrously ugly freak like me, offering their whole heart so selflessly... Even if I gave my all, I could never repay them if...
When the Life Lamp at the core of my soul was exchanged.
New Yang Fire flooded my Qi Sea, and my body, soul, and Dantian felt incredibly warm, incredibly bright.
But I always felt, in my heart, an emptiness.
Like a broken porcelain bowl, with an uncomfortable, jagged crack.
It hurt, a dull ache.
As my body slowly recovered, my consciousness became clearer and clearer, feeling as if I would wake up at any moment. It felt like a cold body with a refreshing fragrance leaning over mine, "Wife, I quite like your ugly appearance. If I think this is a good thing, would you hit me?"
