"Qiu Yuchuan, what are you standing around for? Escort me down the mountain." Old Zhao flicked his sleeve, and the tightly closed hall doors swung open. His sharp gaze glanced at Qiu Yuchuan, who was leaning against an outside pillar playing with his phone.
Qiu Yuchuan shivered and put away his phone, scurrying to catch up, "Yes, se... senior...! Senior, please slow down, I can't keep up with your speed. Who exactly are you that even the Snake Lord respects you so much? I've seen countless Mystic Sect's sects… never come across anyone like you…"
The Snake Sect has many barriers protecting its sect, making it difficult for outsiders to set foot.
Old Zhao, being extremely smart, sought out Qiu Yuchuan in the village before his visit and was led to the Snake Sect by the Disciple of the Horse Immortal, Qiu Yuchuan.
It was only natural to have Qiu Yuchuan see him off when descending the mountain.
"Wanwan, abandon all distractions and look at me." Once Old Zhao had completely walked away, Yu Longting suddenly grabbed my wrist, his deep voice seeping into my ears.
I froze for a moment, my body gave a sudden shiver. Staring at Yu Longting's refined and otherworldly appearance, I discarded the smile Old Zhao left hanging on his face before he departed from my mind,
"Oh my, did Old Zhao use the Charm Technique on me just now? Was I bewitched?"
"My silly wife, your reactions are so slow, what am I going to do with you?" As I was coming back to my senses, the back of my head was caught, and my face was pressed into a broad and sturdy chest.
In dealing with Old Zhao's bewitchment of me, Yu Longting showed nothing but helplessness and tolerance.
My heart lightly rippled with fondness as I embraced his lean narrow waist, "As long as you're not angry, it's fine. Old Zhao didn't seem to do it on purpose, it was more like a reflection of his charismatic personality."
"He's still somewhat intentional, deeply planting his friendly side in the depths of your heart to leave a good impression, making it easier to have us as husband and wife look for the vases for him like oxen and horses." Yu Longting buried his face into my hair, gently sniffing while his fingers playfully caressed my earlobe, "Luckily he wasn't trying to flirt with you, he has no interest in mortal women, otherwise your self-control... humph..."
"What's wrong with my self-control? My self-control is great, I was just momentarily distracted! In this world, only you could ever enchant me."
I stubbornly refused to admit that my soul was ever captured by Old Zhao, all while he played with my earlobe.
Like a small beast receiving great comfort, I closed my eyes halfway comfortably, "Hey, Yu Longting, given the current situation, it seems that as long as Old Zhao needs something from us, until the vase is found, we are equals, relatively equal."
"It's only temporary, though. As time goes on, changes will occur. I've already found the whereabouts of that vase." Yu Longting lowered his head and surprisingly gave a gentle bite on my ear, sending chills down my spine and goosebumps across my skin. "With two vases for resonance, Old Zhao will sooner or later find the third vase himself."
After spending a long time with him, he clearly knows where I'm most susceptible to being teased.
I discomfortedly pushed against his heavy body, dodgingly saying, "Then we'll... sneakily dig it out?"
"Hahaha, Wanwan, aren't you quite principled? How come you want to do unprincipled things like me?" Yu Longting laughed softly, ignoring my dodging as he pressed my waist firmly against him.
He seemed to particularly enjoy seeing us align so harmoniously. After speaking, he teasingly nibbled around my ear.
I rolled my eyes, "Oh, you do know you're unprincipled, right? I'm just trying to stay alive, after all... principles have to become strangers at some point."
"What a pity, this thing has a spirit. If we dig it out, Old Zhao would notice immediately." Yu Longting sighed with regret, "I can't satisfy your little thrill of being a 'Three Hands', for now, we can only take it one step at a time."
I stroked my chin, pondered, and nodded in deep agreement.
If even Yu Longting doesn't have a good solution at the moment, I certainly wouldn't be able to come up with anything better.
In any case, Old Zhao is destined to be our enemy sooner or later.
He's already obtained two Immortal Vases, and his power must have significantly increased and recovered.
If he gets his hands on the last one, it would be like lifting a stone only to drop it on our feet.
Yu Longting and I would not only lose our value but also end up giving experiences and equipment, essentially fattening him up.
"Hey, didn't Old Zhao say something about greeting Dragon Dad before he left?" I successfully got entranced by Old Zhao earlier, which caused my mind to slip.
Spiritual power is quite unstable and I have a somewhat fragmented yet vivid memory of that scene.
Only after discussing the third vase did I remember this incident.
Yu Longting gently pushed me away, his cool fingerpad tapped my nose, "He did, but who knows what it means. The old man's been dead for thousands of years externally. For Old Zhao to bring it up suddenly, it's indeed odd…"
"So it seems he did say something. I wasn't hallucinating." I tried hard to recall Old Zhao's tone when speaking earlier, "But he didn't seem hostile, yet suddenly saying this without reason is really perplexing."
The ornate, carved wooden doors of the grand hall were knocked on hurriedly, and someone hastily reported, "Brother, Sister-in-law~ difficult, difficult! Big trouble happened!"
