"That is the bloodline of the Snake Lord, undeniable," Yun Hao said with piercing insight, his expression dark as iron.
Yu Longting paid no attention to the two of them, tightening his hold around me
and quickly made for the shore, heading in a certain direction.
He seemed calm and indifferent, yet his slender fingers were digging painfully into my flesh.
I winced from the pain and looked up at him.
In the drizzling rain, I saw the man's cool and wicked gaze fixed on the distance, a trace of extreme subtlety in the depths of his eyes.
"Yu Longting, if you betray her, do something to hurt her, I will not let you go," warned Yun Hao's voice from behind, enunciated clearly and slowly.
Yu Longting's pace did not slow in the slightest, striding forward briskly.
The ceaseless flow of vehicles and pedestrians flashed by before my eyes in an instant.
My chin resting on his shoulder, I was unusually quiet.
Throughout, Yu Longting's face was as dark as iron. Suddenly, his thin lips parted, "Wanwan, if... I truly did something that wronged you, made you saddened and upset, would you... would you leave me?"
"You dare, I'll turn you into a Chinese knot and hang you on a tree," I glanced at Yu Longting and replied very bluntly.
It was indeed hard to imagine Yu Longting, who cherished me so deeply, doing anything to cause me grief and heartache.
To me, even if the whole world betrayed me, Yu Longting would not.
After a brief pause, I met an irresistible deep kiss.
As the downpour drenched us from above, Yu Longting's embrace and kisses grew tighter and deeper.
This kiss was not the slightest bit aggressive, but it was passionate and heartfelt.
Caught off guard, I was completely overwhelmed.
Forced to bear the brunt of a man's tidal wave of emotions, it was as if he was drawing out my soul.
Just when I was nearly powerless, Yu Longting withdrew from the kiss.
His steps halted amidst a sea of graves, a cold light flashing in his eyes, "Coming to Fox Burial Mound to seek Xuanjing's help? What a choice of place."
"Snake... Snake Lord, how did you know I was here? What... what do you want, don't come any closer!"
When I turned around, I saw Su Qiang's panic-stricken face; her legs shook uncontrollably as she stumbled backward. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NoveI(F)ire.net
Suddenly, she turned and fled desperately in one direction.
Yu Longting gently set me down and with a swift move, seized Su Qiang's neck, hoisting her into the air, "Where can you escape to in front of me? Who taught you to release the sleeping Demon spawn?"
"I... I don't know... Snake Lord... what are you talking about... that Demon spawn's appearance has... nothing to do with me..." Su Qiang's lack of oxygen caused her eyes to become bloodshot, her legs kicking weakly, almost at her limit.
With a snap, Yu Longting casually twisted her neck.
My heart skipped a beat; he wouldn't be silencing Su Qiang too, would he? Especially after he repeatedly assured me Su Qiang could prove his innocence.
A smirk pulled at Yu Longting's lips, a bloodthirsty chill lurking in his eyes, "Tough mouth. Let me rephrase the question, who turned you from the dead, into the Living Dead?"
Yes, Su Qiang should have been long dead by now.
The fact that she could still appear before me meant she was either a Living Dead or a zombie.
"It's... It's Xuanjing, Xuanjing revived me. Everything I've done was forced by the Nine-tailed Fox Xuanjing, I was... just following orders, it really has nothing to do with me." Su Qiang's eyelids flipped back as she feigned death, but under Yu Longting's serpentine gaze, she had no choice but to drop the act, "I... I'm Su Wan's blood cousin, we share the same bloodline, please take into account my cousin's face and don't... kill me..."
"Is someone family just because they share blood? Even if the other person is a beast or a brute, should we still acknowledge this relation? Then what... bad luck has befallen me in my past life?"
