Liu Hongluan must have truly fallen for Yu Longting. As she watched his gentle actions, two lines of bloody tears streamed from her melancholic eyes, "Senior Brother, can I… have a word with you alone?"

"No, my wife would get jealous." Yu Longting gripped my chin firmly, his eyes shining like naked blades, filled with a vicious threat.

I meekly nodded, "That's right, that's right, I would get jealous. I hate it most when he's alone with another woman."

"You, woman, really know how to push your luck. I'll seal your hearing because I have something to say to Senior Brother."

Liu Hongluan didn't care at all, her eyes still brimming with love for him even after the two slaps she had received from Yu Longting.

With a flick of her red sleeve, a piece of white talisman paper stuck to my body.

After that, I couldn't hear a word of what she said to Yu Longting.

Yu Longting frowned, replying a few words to Liu Hongluan.

He set my body down and followed Liu Hongluan to the corridor a few meters away.

I dressed myself and peeked out from the doorframe.

I saw Yu Longting taking out two charms from his sleeve and handing them to Liu Hongluan.

His mouth opened and closed, saying something, but I couldn't hear a word.

Liu Hongluan knelt on the ground.

With both hands, she received the talisman paper.

Crying miserably with a face stained with bloody tears.

I was essentially watching a silent play.

I desperately wanted to know what they were saying but couldn't hear.

Suddenly, an image of a bright red formation diagram popped into my head.

Yueyin clothes, which could enhance the hearing of the wearer to an incredibly powerful degree.

If the wearer suffered from deafness, their hearing would be restored.

All of a sudden, my ears picked up the sound of the wind.

Mingled with the wind was Liu Hongluan's crying, "Snake Lord, kill that Su family girl!! Her Spiritual Eye can aid your cultivation, and your power will immediately return to its former strength."

"What gave you the illusion that I have a good temper?" Yu Longting faced her sobbing with a scornfully arched brow, "Asking me time and again to kill my own wife? You've had your pity party, I've given you what you wanted, now scram!"

Liu Hongluan clenched her fist, "But that woman is a Su family girl!! You saw her as merely a vessel, it was one thing to have her bear Little Snake Lord, but to cure that slut Su Wan's mother, you sacrificed two hundred years of cultivation??"

"Ah—"

A scream from a woman.

Yu Longting lifted his leg and kicked Liu Hongluan over, brutally stepping on her fair fingers, "If you use those three words to describe her again, you'll be reporting to Yama King's Hall."

"I just don't get it, even if you spare her for being Little Snake Lord's mother and not take her Spiritual Eye, how could you go to such lengths? If you are with me, our combined spiritual cultivation would recover very quickly... Ah... it hurts..."

Before Liu Hongluan could finish speaking, the man cursed foully, "Cultivate your mother, do I look like a stud to you? Sleep with anyone? There is no why, I simply don't fancy you."

"I am the number one beauty of Snake Mountain, so many men want to marry me! Including Xuanjing!! Yu Longting, do you have some leverage in Su Wan's hands? Is that why you're saying one thing but feeling another?" Liu Hongluan almost went mad, accusing in the midst of her painful cries.

Even though Yu Longting tortured her so fiercely, her crazed love remained unchanged.

I asked myself if I could ever do such a thing.

Faintly, I even hoped that Yu Longting would choose her, to meet such an unchangingly devoted woman, how rare that is...

A light laugh came from Yu Longting's chest, "Oh yes."

"What is it? Tell me!! Even if it costs my life, I will help you settle it!" Liu Hongluan said eagerly.
