Yu Longting played with my hair, absentmindedly, "Ever heard of the butterfly effect?"
"Huh?" I looked up and nodded mechanically.
So, what does that mean?
Yu Longting said, "If that lost half of the soul had met with misfortune, would the body react so calmly?" This text is hosted at novᴇlfire.net
"So, the half of Dumpling's soul that was lost is pretty safe, right? Oh, hiss~" I thought he made a lot of sense and nodded thoughtfully.
It caused me to lose focus, and the needle pricked my finger.
Yu Longting's eyes deepened as he grabbed my hand and stuffed my finger into his mouth.
Without him needing to speak, every microexpression between his brows and eyes accused me of being clumsy, hurting my own hand.
I hurriedly pulled my finger out, "It's just a needle prick, don't be so nervous."
Ah, this Overlord Snake's thought processes sure are strange.
I failed to protect his own son, yet he showed no sign of blaming me.
Getting upset over a needle prick?
After more than ten minutes, I had finished embroidering the clothes.
"That... tuck in your tail a bit, I'm putting on the clothes," I whispered to Yu Longting.
Yu Longting frowned slightly, showing a rather reluctant expression.
The tail tightened before gradually loosening.
He grabbed my waist with both hands and placed me on a piece of Quartz Rock at the shore.
Afterward, he climbed up himself, "Give me the clothes."
"You're going to wear them?" I asked uncertainly.
I made it in my own size~
Yu Longting snatched it impatiently, "I'll wear it, you can't be bitten."
"Oh, oh." I nodded obediently and compliantly to his irritable mood, it's written in my DNA, not caring whether he was right or wrong.
After agreeing, I then asked, "So, that's enough for you?"
"I'm male, losing a bit of blood isn't a big deal, you, a female, just need to be as plain as unsalted food," Yu Longting took off his outer robe, leisurely put on the clothes, which were only slightly too small.
I paused before realizing what Yu Longting had said.
Touching my extremely ugly face, I muttered, "Is that how you should put it?"
Shouldn't a female be charged with being as beautiful as a flower?
But with my face for life, indeed, it fits Yu Longting's description, plain as unsalted food.
Was his mocking because he too was disgusted?
"Wanwan, I really like how you look right now," Yu Longting suddenly leaned towards me, who was spacing out.
His lips curled with a mischievous smile, he kissed my nose, eyes, and mouth one after another, "Your husband here has quite the unique taste, if I had met you this ugly at the first sight, maybe... I would have fallen in love with you even sooner."
"You're so annoying, always running off at the mouth, never serious," I laughed and pushed him away, annoyed by Yu Longting's words.
Yu Longting stepped back half a step, the pure white clothing absorbing the blood, gradually staining it bright red exceedingly.
Slowly before him, a swamp outlined by a mist of blood appeared.
There was an extremely rundown wooden house in the swamp, crumbling badly from years of neglect.
Why are there only sceneries, no people?
Logically, I should be able to see my Dumpling?
As I was doubting this, a crimson eye suddenly appeared in the scene.
The eye was a typical snake's, full of cold blood and hatred.
It seemed to be spying on Yu Longting and me, then the claws formed by the blood mist actually tore through the scene formed by the mist.
I blurted out, "Dumpling was taken away by a master, one with anti-surveillance capabilities, they don't want us to find Dumpling!!"
"To be exact, it was a monster that took him away, a snake demon, the possessed kind."
