"Embrace you? I'd rather die with you. My arms are reserved for my wife only. Those damned questions, answer them if you like," Yu Longting's fierce temper exploded in a second, completely ruining everything.
Seeing my disheveled expression, he held me even tighter in a fit of anger, like clutching a beloved toy, his stubborn and fierce eyes filled with wariness.
A strong sense of preferring death over sacrificing one's looks, a déjà vu of facing death!
Alas, I had overestimated Yu Longting's patience and endurance.
I thought he would compromise a bit for Yu Er, who was suffering from corpse poison and whose life was hanging by a thread.
It was just embracing that head, and it was Li Xing's head after all, acting as if it was a matter of life and death...
Qing Li growled lowly, and suddenly began to cry sorrowfully, "Am I not your wife, not your spouse? You once loved me to the bone, and now... you discard me like an old shoe..."
"Brother... sister-in-law... What's all this noise about... it's so loud... I can't sleep..." Yu Rongling's sleepy voice came through, wrapped in a Cultivation Spiritual Garment, with a tuft of cute, silly hair on his head, "Ow, this corpse poison really sucks, it burns like fire inside."
"Corpse poison? What corpse poison did you get?" Qing Li suddenly asked.
Yu Rongling, scared completely awake, looked suspiciously at the talking head that was still dripping blood, "What... what is this thing, still dripping blood?"
Qing Li pressed for an answer again, "Answer my question."
"Uh, it's the zombie demon's poison... what about it..." Baby Rongling had no clue what was happening.
Like Baby Rongling, I also had no idea what was going on, my face filled with confusion.
The matter of Yu Er being poisoned had absolutely nothing to do with Qing Li, as if she was feigning interest.
"Those four paparazzi, indeed, are related to the zombie demon."
Qing Li suddenly spoke dispassionately, "There is someone behind the zombie demon, but it's not me. He merely borrowed the name to use me."
"You borrowed someone, just to kill me?" I blurted out.
Qing Li: "Exactly, I couldn't come out of the attic and had to rely on Forbidden Woman Witchcraft. That person only lent me two people, Li Xing, Duan Hong! The other two... are not under my control..."
A sudden one hundred and eighty-degree turn in events...
Qing Li, who usually has her lips sealed as if welded shut, suddenly spilled the beans herself.
I thought I was dreaming, but before I could think deeper, I hastily pressed for more clues, "Who is behind the zombie demon?"
"Aren't you a descendant of the Life and Death Embroidery, with the Yin Yang Embroidery skills that pierce the heavens and earth? You could investigate it yourself."
Qing Li, feeling like a completely different person than the hysterical one before, became eerily calm, "I've told you all I know, can you let me go now?"
I glanced at Yu Longting, communicating silently with a look.
Why did Qing Li suddenly change completely as soon as she heard dumbass was poisoned, spilling everything?
Could it be that dumbass was Qing Li's old lover??
Yu Rongling looks quite similar to Yu Longting, and their names sound alike. Perhaps Qing Li's memories from past lives are confused, so she recognized the wrong person??
"Qing Li, I need to return to the sect for Alchemy, and if I don't get back in time for the Pill Frying, it will all be in vain."
After sharing a glance with me, Yu Longting knowingly continued the conversation.
Qing Li, not understanding, "What does your return to the sect have to do with me? Are you intending to take me with you?"
