"You, just chill."
Yu Longting's words were heartless, but he carried Yu Rongling to the bed, holding his wrist and continually transferring Spiritual Power to dilute the corpse poison, "Beichen, aren't you leaving with your woman yet?"
"What about Second Master Yu..." Beichen asked worriedly.
Yu Longting glanced at him side-eye, "None of your damn business, is it?"
"..." Embracing Xiao Li, Beichen silently left.
I witnessed all this with initially overwhelming confusion.
Gradually, I calmed down, sat beside Yu Longting, and gently rested my head on his back, "Yu Longting, are you... planning to settle things with that dumbass and then go fight the zombie demon?"
"I don't know, fighting her might not be any use. She just took form. I can kill her, but I can't burn her to death." Yu Longting spoke heavily, "Maybe... in the end, it'll have to be me exchanging blood with Second Master."
"Brother... no... you can't..." To my surprise, Yu Rongling started crying. Despite spitting out copious amounts of blood, he buried his head in his older brother's embrace, "I don't want to live anymore, I don't care if I die. It was me who foolishly provoked the zombie demon. It's not your job to take on the corpse poison for me."
"What you're spitting up is nasty, it's got my clothes all dirty," Yu Longting said impatiently, yet his eyes were tender, filled with a brother's helplessness. He then gave me a glance, a hint of apology flashing in his eyes.
He was probably feeling sorry that he would be covered in corpse blood in the future, feeling guilty that I might have to live with a zombie snake.
Without a second word, I grasped Yu Longting's chin and kissed him deeply on the lips, "Ah Ting, how long can you extend Yu Er's life?"
"What... what did you call me?" Yu Longting was taken aback, his gaze blank.
With one hand on his chin and the other around Yu Longting's neck, I deepened the kiss, boldly taking everything I could from his mouth, "Answer me, Yu! Long! Ting!"
"Turns out my brother... is a bottom... bleh... sister-in-law... you're... so... dominant... so... cool..." Yu Rongling spewed blood violently, nearly at death's door, but still gossiping.
Ah, the blazing soul of gossip.
Considering my pregnancy and that my belly was not small, Yu Longting supported my waist. He did not strike back violently, instead, gradually reclaiming the initiative like a spring rain that moistens everything, "I can only extend his life by a half month, at most."
"Half a month is plenty. Yu Longting, can you trust me with Rongling's life?" I asked, word by word.
Yu Longting's smile blossomed like a freshly opened begonia, stunningly beautiful. Truly a kill by blooms following my own blooming, "I trust you completely."
"Then you tend to Rongling, I'm going to check on Xiao Li and Beichen. They need me too." I felt like I always inadvertently showed weakness in front of Yu Longting, wanting to rely on him.
But at this moment, I felt as if my body was full of chakra, my strength off the charts.
I felt capable of supporting many tasks. I could stand by his side and help him with many things.
As I turned to leave, Yu Longting grasped my wrist, "Wife."
"Hmm?" I turned back to look at him.
Yu Longting tightened his grip slightly, "Ever since we met, I've always been in a weakened state. It's really embarrassing, never being able to show my wife my full strength and max-level divine armor."
"I think maybe this is an opportunity given by fate for growth, and to complement you. If I become too strong, I won't be able to keep up with you," I said softly, feeling my wrist being grasped even tighter by Yu Longting, but he soon let go.
