Chapter 266: Chapter 158: Yue’Er, Eat, Eat, Eat...

"Tell me! Were you thinking about another woman?!"

Su Liyan’s shout snapped Lu Yuan out of his daze. He put on a pitiful expression and said, "You’ve wronged me! My heart is full of you. I even dream about you!"

"Hmph! You’re just trying to sweet-talk me, honey. Who knows who you were really thinking about!" Su Liyan retorted, not letting it go.

Lu Yuan saw the look on his wife’s face. ’Looks like I’ll have to resort to other measures,’ he thought.

Inside this room, Lu Yuan was going to let his wife know who was really in charge.

Lu Yuan’s hands began to roam mischievously over his wife’s body.

It made Su Liyan’s face flush red, and her whole body grew restless.

"Honey~ I was wrong, I was wrong! I won’t tease you anymore," Su Liyan begged for mercy.

’Isn’t it a little late to admit you were just playing around now?’

There was no way Lu Yuan was going to let his wife off the hook. Things had already reached this point; he had to help her unwind.

Lu Yuan took the opportunity to check his wife’s pulse. It was very steady, though her heart was beating a little fast.

Seeing that Su Liyan’s physical condition allowed for it, Lu Yuan, relying on his medical knowledge, carefully engaged in the little game the two of them shared.

None of his movements disturbed the baby in Su Liyan’s belly.

The baby in Su Liyan’s belly was probably feeling frustrated. ’Why does Mommy keep shaking so much? She’s making me dizzy.’

’And what’s that whimpering sound?’

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan lay side-by-side on the bed, gazing at each other.

Both of them were completely satisfied, having found an emotional release.

After lying there for a while, Lu Yuan prepared to get out of bed.

’I can’t just come home and immediately dive into my wife’s bed,’ Lu Yuan thought.

Other people would laugh at him.

Not that Lu Yuan was actually afraid of being laughed at.

It was just that he hadn’t even greeted Aunt Song since he’d gotten back.

He couldn’t favor one over the other.

Lu Yuan sat up and was about to get dressed.

Su Liyan saw a large bruise on Lu Yuan’s back and her heart ached for him.

Su Liyan’s slender hand touched Lu Yuan’s back, and her voice trembled as she said, "Honey, what happened to your back? How did you get hurt...?"

Not wanting his wife to worry, Lu Yuan downplayed it. "It’s nothing. I just got a little injured while fighting a Long Snake."

"A Long Snake!" Su Liyan blurted out.

Although Su Liyan had no blood relation to the Long Snake—she was from the Half-demon Race while it was a Beast Type—they were naturally worlds apart.

But Su Liyan had heard her mother speak of them and knew something of the Long Snake’s abilities.

In this world, there are ten types of serpent monsters: the Nine-Headed Candle Yin, Xiangliu, Fei Yi, Transformed Serpent, Tiger Flood Dragon, Hui Snake, Ba Snake, Soaring Snake, Long Snake, and Ming Snake. Although the Long Snake is ranked ninth and its power is far inferior to the top few, it’s only considered to be in the lower ranks among serpent monsters. Among the Beast Type, it is already a formidable creature.

Because all serpent monsters are exceptionally gifted, even one with only a few hundred years of cultivation could possess strength far exceeding that of a Beast Type with the same level of cultivation.

They might even be able to defeat a Beast Type with over a thousand years of cultivation. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

This kind of leap in power level was so great, you could say the serpent monster class was basically cheating the system.

It was said that some serpent monsters possessed the ability to destroy heaven and earth, to summon wind and rain.

However, few people had ever seen the other types of serpent monsters; whether they still existed in the world was another matter entirely.

’To think my man actually encountered a Long Snake during his time away. The chances of that happening were so slim.’

"Honey, how did you manage to escape afterward?" Su Liyan asked, her eyes filled with tears, her heart aching terribly.

Seeing his wife’s expression, Lu Yuan quickly wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "I didn’t run away. I killed the Long Snake."

"What? Honey, you actually killed it?" Su Liyan’s eyes were red as she stared at him in disbelief.

Su Liyan knew her man’s strength. Right now, he was probably at the level of an Upper-Rank Celestial Master.

’He doesn’t seem to have reached the level of a Grand Celestial Master yet. Killing a Long Snake should be nearly impossible for him.’

’Even a Grand Celestial Master would need to channel an ancestral master to do it.’

’Could it have been a juvenile Long Snake? But if it was a juvenile, there should have been an adult nearby.’

’Or maybe honey just got lucky and slipped away before an adult Long Snake found him.’

That was what Su Liyan was thinking.

Lu Yuan could see that his wife didn’t seem to quite believe he was capable of killing a Long Snake.

So, Lu Yuan casually took two daggers out of a bundle on the table—the very daggers forged from the Long Snake’s fangs.

Su Liyan could sense that the daggers in Lu Yuan’s hands were no ordinary objects. She even felt a strange sense of familiarity from them.

Lu Yuan took one of the daggers and pulled it from its Sword Scabbard, presenting it to Su Liyan.

Only then did Su Liyan realize it had been forged from the fang of a Long Snake.

"Honey, judging by the length of this Snake Fang, it must have been several hundred years old."

Seeing this, Su Liyan finally confirmed that Lu Yuan had truly killed the Long Snake, and one with a high level of cultivation at that.

Su Liyan couldn’t imagine how much her man must have suffered, how many hardships he must have endured during the days she wasn’t by his side.

"Honey, from now on, no matter what, wherever you go, I’ll go too. I’m never leaving your side again." Su Liyan ran into Lu Yuan’s arms, hugging his waist tightly.

Su Liyan had run over in a bit of a hurry, and her belly bumped against Lu Yuan.

The baby in her womb was probably a little dazed from the impact.

Lu Yuan dropped the dagger and held his wife for a long time.

Lu Yuan was the first to speak. "Alright, darling, how long are you going to hold me like this?"

"Don’t worry about it! I love holding you like this!"

"Okay, okay. You can hold me every day from now on, alright? Just be careful of the baby in your belly." Lu Yuan gently patted his wife’s back.
