"She's spitting out heart's blood, which can corrode the Binding Rope!" I shouted loudly.

Sangsang's body was burning with bluish-green flames; with the Demonic Qi continuously oozing from her body, she broke the Binding Rope.

Yu Longting unleashed several Yellow Talismans from his sleeve, his lips silently touching.

As the talismans flew out, they struck at Sangsang.

Sangsang turned and headed towards the window, suddenly being hit in the back.

She spat out a mouthful of blood violently, but the talisman paper had turned to ashes on her back due to the erosion by the black qi, unable to trap her.

She crashed through the glass, and the entire pane, along with her, fell outward.

I dashed towards the window, and below was a loud crash of the window hitting the ground.

But Sangsang's figure completely disappeared in the darkness. I turned to look at Yu Longting, "Yu Longting, aren't you going to chase her? She's escaped... ah..."

From this height, I certainly couldn't jump down; I could only hope that Yu Longting would chase after her.

"Do not pursue a desperate enemy, wife," Yu Longting said indifferently, squatting down to organize the trunk, snapping the huge security case shut again, "These tools need time to be assembled and used; we'll take them back for use."

I narrowed my eyes slightly, "Why do I feel... you let her go on purpose? After all, a certain snake just said no one could slip away under his watch."

"Correct. Her Primordial Spirit resembles yours; it's no coincidence. Only by letting her go could we trace the clues," Yu Longting glanced at me.

Although I quite agreed with this lure-the-snake-out-of-its-hole strategy, I was somewhat worried, "Sangsang is possessed after all, needing to consume Living Souls to survive; isn't letting the snake return to the mountain risky?"

"No, I've placed a restriction on her, she can't eat human Living Souls," Yu Longting said as he finished with the trunk, then raised his hand to rub Dumpling's little head, "I now need to press you into a piece of talisman paper and send you back to your mother's belly."

"Go back?" Little Dumpling's eyes shimmered, showing a bit of reluctance.

Just then, Yu Longting's large hand grabbed the fluffy little head, covered in adorable natal hair, and kissed Dumpling on the cheek, "After you're born, I and your mom will hold you every day, keeping you company, be good."

In that moment, a fatherly glow radiated from Yu Longting, brilliantly illuminating the dark study.

While he might seem stubborn and carry an evil aura,

the way he acts as a dad really feels very responsible.

And very, very tender—doting on our beloved Dumpling~

He is like a tall, steady mountain, always the most solid and powerful support for me and Dumpling.

"Daddy~" Little Dumpling's eyes reddened, turning into a little crier.

With tears streaming down, he reached out his little chubby hands and wrapped them around Yu Longting's neck, "You don't think Dumpling is naive, too delicate, do you?"

"Little children should be delicate; they should be naive. Isn't that right? It's your privilege, don't waste it," Yu Longting smiled warmly.

My heart filled with warmth, I walked over and also patted Little Dumpling's head, "Your dad is right! Dumpling, you are so sensible; not even born yet and acting like a little adult."

"I just want... to help you share the burden." Dumpling's voice was tiny as a mosquito's, then cheerfully, in a milky voice, he said, "Dumpling... will always love daddy and mommy."

Yu Longting smiled contentedly and pulled out an empty piece of talisman paper from his sleeve, pressing Dumpling's half Primordial Spirit into the talisman paper.

The talisman paper instantly gained the pattern of a cute little baby.

As Yu Longting raised his hand.

The talisman paper, like a playful spirit, gently leapt.

It stuck onto my belly, and in the blink of an eye, the little baby on the talisman paper disappeared.

I looked down at my belly.

I could feel the little baby inside my belly opening its eyes, softly calling out, "Mommy~ Daddy~"

"Yes, finally back~" I said contentedly, patting my belly.

Little Dumpling seemed tired, his eyelids fighting, "Dumpling is so sleepy! I've been tossed around too much by Strange Snake Aunt here, tired."

"Go to sleep soon!" I said.

On the way back, I tried several times to perform the Golden Lotus Seven Star Step.

I couldn't manage it no matter what.

Using all my strength, I could only create one lotus petal; I continued to let Yu Longting lead the way.

I sighed, "What Golden Lotus Step, it's nothing but a fleeting glimpse."

"Wanwan." Yu Longting suddenly called my name.

I turned my head, "What is it?"

"You didn't see the demonic snake for the first time today, did you?" Yu Longting straightforwardly said.

I hadn't even grasped the implications of his words before responding, "It was the first time, yes. Otherwise, seeing her looking so much like me, wouldn't I have been scared like that?"
