Beichen moved his lips but didn't speak.
After a while, he slowly said, "The person Xiao Li's parents chose comes from a good family background and has a good education."
"Have you forgotten everything she has done for you? If she really marries someone else, what if she can't cope? Can you bear the consequences?" I was so angry that I felt like my lungs would explode!
Yu Longting had pushed Beichen to a dead end, but when he woke up, he was not intent on dying.
However, his entire outlook on life had shifted.
That lifeless, utterly dejected appearance.
Gone was the shy, upright young man I had first met.
Beichen seemed not to have considered my words, pausing, "But..."
"There are no buts. I'm going to take you to propose right now. Yu Longting and I will talk to Xiao Li's parents to help you," I said as I grabbed Beichen and rolled up my sleeves, ready to act immediately.
For Beichen, I was determined to mediate the marriage.
Yu Longting helplessly pulled me into his arms. "Beichen's matter is not that simple and needs careful planning. You're about to give birth, so stop stressing yourself."
"What do you mean by stressing? I'm doing this for Beichen and Xiao Li's happiness," I said, full of a sense of justice, seeing the helplessness in Yu Longting's eyes.
I realized I was being impulsive and coughed lightly, "Uh, do you have an idea?"
"Yes, I have a perfect solution. Are you willing to listen?" Yu Longting asked me, then imperatively insisted that I listen to him, "If you want their union to be recognized by the secular world and blessed by family and friends, you'll have to follow my lead."
I felt it made a lot of sense, not in vain that he's lived for a thousand years, I nodded vigorously, "Listen listen listen~ I'll follow your plan; I trust you to handle this in the most grounded manner, not as rashly as I would."
Hearing my flattery, Yu Longting couldn't help but laugh.
Then, Yu Longting gave some instructions to Beichen.
As for Xiao Li, her parents will definitely put some pressure on her.
If pushed too hard, Xiao Li might be driven to desperation.
That's when Beichen's role becomes crucial.
He needs to act accordingly and appear before Xiao Li at the right moment to calm her down.
When Yu Longting and I return from the sect, we can focus all our energy on helping Beichen find a wife.
"Thank you, Snake Lord, thank you, Lady of the Snake Lord," Beichen said as he opened the car door by the roadside, bowing respectfully.
I waved at Beichen, "No problem, we're all family here, helping you is only natural."
After getting into the car, Yun Hao drove while Yu Rongling sat in the passenger seat.
And Yun Hao has a peculiar habit; he must hold the Three-headed Snake Dragon in his arms to feel secure.
"My wife is giving birth, what are you two doing coming along?" Yu Longting was reluctant to bring the two snakes, his long eyebrows furrowed, showing a bit of irritation.
Yun Hao replied, "I have a fatherly and motherly attachment." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel[f]ire.net
"I am Dumpling's uncle; of course, I have to witness Dumpling's birth. I want to be the first to hold Dumpling." Feeling the cold air Yu Longting was shooting his way, Yu Er shrank his neck, "Second? No no no... third! Who told me to be at the bottom of the food chain?"
On the way, Yu Longting fed me a bun, leaving the rest to fill up at the sect with Immortal Peach.
It's said that to make my stay at the sect convenient, he picked all the peaches from the two peach trees in front of his cave dwelling.
"This is… the gate of the Snake Sect?" I exclaimed as I got out of the car, looking at the endless stretch of mountains.
Compared to the Southwest Mountains, these mountains were taller and more densely packed.
Yu Rongling whistled and spread his arms to embrace the fresh air, intoxicated he said, "How could that be? Our Snake Sect's gate has prohibitions; it can't be seen from the outside world, just like Hogwarts."
Since when did this Green Snake become so trendy? Even knowing the gag about Magic School.
