I connected the entire incident together and roughly grasped the gist of things.
Su Qiang struggled to get up, wanting to say something.
But Yu Longting's relentless pressure on her head forced her to shrink back down, "The demon spawn was originally in that lake; Qingyang told me its location. At first, it was very weak, and it took a lot of rats to... to grow it strong enough to hunt on its own."
"Without the Rat Immortal Robe, how were you controlling the rats?" I figured in my mind that everything Su Qiang knew about the demon spawn came from Qingyang.
But Qingyang's words might not be true, and no matter how much I pressed Su Qiang, it was useless. The situation came full circle back to the starting point.
Therefore, I didn't continue to inquire about the demon spawn, but switched to asking her about how she could control the rats.
Su Qiang answered frankly, "The Rat Tribe has long since dispersed like monkeys whose leader has fallen. During the years I controlled them, I had already persuaded many rat demons!! Snake Lord, you promised to spare my life, you cannot go back on your word!! Su Wan is my cousin; if you betray your promise, discord will grow between you and your spouse."
"Spouse…" Yu Longting chewed on the word and suddenly, his sinister face softened with gentleness, and he slowly lifted his foot.
Such an unpredictable boss...
Because of one correct word that pleased him, he might spare Su Qiang's life!
Seizing this opportunity, Su Qiang quickly rolled away.
She whistled and a large gray rat scurried out from its hiding place.
The rat weighed at least twenty or thirty pounds. She leaped onto its back and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
I was stunned and began to vaguely understand that Yu Longting's decision to let Su Qiang go was not necessarily because the word 'spouse' lightened his mood.
Instead, Su Qiang accidentally hit the mark, like a blind cat finding a dead rat, saying he should not double-cross me.
A moment ago, Yu Longting's sudden attack on the demon spawn put a strain between us.
I walked over to Yu Longting and looked up, "Let's go home."
Yu Longting didn't utter a word, his mood returning to gloomy and suppressed.
He bent down and with a long arm, scooped me up into the crook of his arm.
He walked nonchalantly towards Spring Wind Town.
"Qingyang, isn't he your uncle?" I asked, puzzled, "Why would he set you up, and each time worse than before??"
Qing Li and Qingyang were siblings, so that meant...
Qingyang was Yu Longting's uncle??
My reasoning is correct, isn't it?
So, what is the real reason?
"How would I know?" Yu Longting said heavily, seeming uninterested in anything as if lost in his own world.
"Speaking of which, if... there's something you find hard to disclose, at least give me a deadline. You can't keep me in the dark forever." I wrestled with my thoughts for a long time, feeling torn and pained, but I still decided to respect Yu Longting.
I will not dig deep into the matter of that child possessed by a demon for now.
A response finally surfaced on Yu Longting's frost-bound face, cold and hard as stone, his deep dark pupils lowering, "After Dumpling is born, okay?"
"Okay." I willingly let go of my misgivings and hooked my arms around his neck, "By then, you must disclose everything. I am your wife, what is there that I cannot know?"
"Wanwan, I didn't expect you could still forgive me." Yu Longting gently and carefully stroked my hair, which had become slightly matted from being soaked in water and tousled around.
I said nothing but also stroked his soft hair in return.
