"Fever... fever..." Xiao Shenshen became inarticulate when anxious. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾※𝙣𝙚𝙩
Her eyes were rimmed with red from urgency.
Yu Rongling glanced at her, "What use are you if you can't even speak clearly?"
Xiao Shenshen was full of self-blame, completely manipulated by PUA.
Yu Rongling smirked, "Just stew her then."
The temperature of the Xiao Shenshen in her arms dropped suddenly, making her tremble with fright.
She felt that she would faint from fear at the hands of the vile snake any second.
"Yu Rongling, don't talk nonsense." I glared warningly at the dumbass and patted Xiao Shenshen's back in my arms, "I've got your back, nobody is going to stew you, take your time, what happened?"
"Fever, forty degrees," Xiao Shenshen stammered.
I immediately reacted, "Beichen has a fever of forty degrees?"
"He'll die, what do we do... I don't want him to die." Tears welled up in the frightened girl's eyes, "Living Dead shouldn't have a fever."
The Living Dead shouldn't have a fever, let alone a body temperature over thirty-five degrees.
Usually, Beichen's body temperature was much lower than the average person's, hovering around thirty degrees.
If he broke thirty degrees, his body would be afflicted.
And now it was forty degrees!!
It meant he was going to be burnt to death by the yang energy of the world of the living any moment now.
I was silent, pressing Shenshen's little head into my chest.
With one hand, I took out my phone and lit up the screen.
Only now did I belatedly realize that it had been four or five hours since I sent a message to Wu Zhenglin.
But there was not a single reply from Wu Zhenglin.
Granny Wu and he had always seemed so reliable before, I never thought they would refuse to help.
But this time was different.
It wasn't that they refused; it was that they hadn't replied to me at all.
I sent another message: "Are you there? I desperately need the Mysterious Silk over here."
Just as the message went out, my inner urgency couldn't allow me to wait any longer.
I immediately made a voice call, and after a full three minutes with no answer, it hung up automatically.
"Yun Hao, could you please..."
I hadn't even finished speaking.
Yun Hao picked up the Three-headed Snake Dragon and was ready to leave, "Mom, I'll go check it out for you."
"Uh, alright." Although my heart skipped a beat, I readily agreed, "Thank you very much."
Yun Hao didn't leave but petted the Three-headed Snake Dragon's head, "Beichen urgently needs Corpse Qi."
"I understand, quickly follow me." I led Yun Hao upstairs.
The Three-headed Snake Dragon was affixed to the snake corpse from Yun Hao's previous life; this was replete with Corpse Qi, most suitable to aid Beichen.
Arriving in Beichen's room, Yun Hao placed the Three-headed Snake Dragon beside Beichen, "It's best to hold it."
I immediately bent over to adjust Beichen's sleeping posture. Because he was a boy and rather heavy, Xiao Shenshen also came over to help.
As soon as Xiao Shenshen made a move, she turned into a super-strong girl.
She effortlessly lifted the Three-headed Snake Dragon, tucking it into Beichen's arms for him to embrace.
"Wow, that's amazing! Good job, Shenshen," I said with delight and praised her.
Fortunately, I was given the Yin Bell for controlling Walking Corpses from Tianying Village, which I took out from my bag and also stuffed into Beichen's arms.
Upon the bed, the pained features on Beichen's pale face relaxed slightly.
Xiao Shenshen blushed bashfully, "It's nothing much."
"Sister-in-law, could you be less brutal? My face is about to be totally ruined," Yu Rongling complained, his ankles bound, causing him to... EMMM~
At this moment, he lay on the ground, bruised and dejected.
"I'm sorry, I forgot about you again. I'll pay attention next time, definitely," I apologized.
"Then I'll be off," Yun Hao said softly and then left.
After that, I found an ice pack to apply to Beichen's forehead.
In his deep slumber, he constantly furrowed his brow and muttered a name, "Xiao Li, Xiao Li... Xiao Li..."
