538 I’m Willing To Protect You With My Life

Liu Yuanyuan felt pure and warm power flowing into her limbs and bones, gradually repairing her injuries. She looked at Liu Sanniang and couldn’t help but respond warmly. “I’m willing to protect you with my life.”

Before Liu Sanniang, she had never felt such sincere concern from anyone. Zhou Yunyi had suppressed her for decades. She only wanted to take revenge. After her revenge failed, she met Liu Sanniang again.

Liu Sanniang’s aura was extremely warm. She wanted to stay with Liu Sanniang and prove her usefulness, but she never thought that Liu Sanniang would be sincerely concerned about her.

Liu Sanniang retracted her hand and said slowly, “Yuanyuan, I’ve accepted you as my House Spirit. You’re my family now. Other than family, you’re also my friend. So next time, let’s talk first. If we can’t convince our enemy, we’ll fight together. We’re not afraid of trouble, but we won’t take the initiative to cause trouble either.”

Liu Yuanyuan couldn’t help but blush. Liu Yuanyuan could clearly feel the concern in her words. She lowered her head and said in a low voice, “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

Liu Yuanyuan turned into a small snake and curled up on the bed.

Liu Sanniang lay down and quickly fell asleep.

Sensing that Liu Sanniang was asleep, Liu Yuanyuan crawled out. She looked at Liu Sanniang and felt an indescribable warmth in her heart.

People often said that snakes were cold-blooded, but in this world, as long as one’s heart was beating, one could be moved.

When Liu Sanniang said the word ‘family’, Liu Yuanyuan almost wanted to cry.

Liu Yuanyuan leaned against Liu Sanniang and felt comfortable and at ease. Perhaps it was time for her to trust humans again despite having been schemed and hurt so badly.

…

Hu Qiushui left the inn with a heavy heart. When she returned to the Huang family, she entered a meditative state.

She couldn’t help but think about what Liu Sanniang had said. Did she still have a chance of survival?

Could it be that she was lying to her and wanted to take her essence?

A hint of ruthlessness appeared on Hu Qiushui’s face. Even if she was really going to die, she could not let a mortal take away her almost 1,000-year-old essence. She wanted to leave it for Hu Yu. Even if she was struck by lightning and most of her cultivation was obliterated, she still wanted to give all that was left to her daughter.

The more Hu Qiushui thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. She went to take revenge tonight. Would the snake hold a grudge and cause trouble for her daughter?

Hu Qiushui thought for a moment and couldn’t sit still. She stood up and walked out, but when she reached the door, she stopped. She couldn’t bring Hu Yu with her. She was worried that the lightning tribulation would affect Hu Yu, so she resisted the urge and returned to the house.

The sky gradually brightened. Hu Yu came to the Huang family and shouted. When Hu Qiushui heard Hu Yu’s voice, she immediately went outside. However, she did not appear. Instead, she looked at Hu Yu and only felt at ease when she saw that Hu Yu was unharmed.

Hu Yu shouted for a while before leaving when there was no response.

Hu Qiushui watched as Hu Yu left and couldn’t help but wonder if she was thinking too much. Was the snake not as despicable as she thought? But even if the snake didn’t hold a grudge, what about that woman?

Huang Ranshi had already woken up. Every morning, he would get up early and go out. No one knew where he was going. Hu Qiushui thought for a moment and followed him.

Hu Qiushui did not get too close because Huang Ranshi could feel her.

Huang Ranshi left the city and looked at the altar outside the city. Hu Qiushui watched from afar.

When Huang Ranshi walked over, someone who knew him called him over. “Huang, come here, come here.”

Huang Ranshi walked over and his old friend said with a smile, “Huang, didn’t you say that you don’t believe in ghosts and gods? What are you doing here?”

Huang Ranshi smiled and said, “I’m here to see the results. Even if I saw it with my own eyes, it won’t change my mind.”

His old friend was speechless. “Alright, alright, alright. Keep your eyes open then.”

When the time came, Xia Qiluo came to perform the ritual as usual.

The sky in Jiangzhou was still gloomy. Although there was no rain, it was extremely cloudy.

Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan were already present in the crowd. Since they had concealed their auras, though the surrounding people could see them, they did not pay much attention to them.

Su Yanyu couldn’t help but ask. “When did the Seventh Princess become a psychic?”

Xia Qiluo held a golden pen and waved it in the air. Golden runes appeared in the air. Su Yanyu’s eyes widened. When he saw this scene, a thought automatically appeared in his mind.

‘Damn, she is so powerful!’

The runes that Xia Qiluo had written were a little different. The wriggling snake in the clouds became even crazier. When the golden runes struck, the snake disappeared. However, its roar still echoed in everyone’s ears.

“It hurts.”

Liu Yuanyuan let out a low roar.

She transformed into her human form and stood beside Liu Sanniang. She endured the pain and said to Liu Sanniang, “Venerable Liu, look at that person. He actually smells the same as the old fox last night. The old fox is his house spirit.”

Liu Sanniang looked over. Huang Ranshi was leaving with his friend. He looked nothing different from an ordinary person, but there was a strong source of evil on him.

Liu Yuanyuan looked in a direction. “Little Fox is also secretly following us.”

Liu Sanniang smiled. “Let’s go back.”

After returning to the inn, Liu Sanniang asked Chu Yan to buy some chickens. After cleaning them up, she steamed them slowly, and a nice fragrance slowly wafted out.

Su Yanyu drooled. “Miss Liu, your culinary skills are really good.”

Su Yanyu also had work assigned to himself. He was removing the chicken feathers and chopping them. He did not understand why Liu Sanniang bought so many chickens and suddenly wanted to make a chicken feast. However, when he smelled the fragrance, he felt like he could eat three chickens alone.

Liu Yuanyuan kicked Su Yanyu. “Shut up and work. Don’t even think about eating free food.”
