After everyone left, Hua Qingcheng asked Han Yichen to lock the door. Then she took out the wooden box containing the thousand-year-old ice toad from her bosom and handed it to Han Yichen.

Han Yichen took the box, took out the snow-white ice toad lying inside, emitting a cold aura, and went to prepare the snake venom for Meng Haoling. Although Han Yichen was curious about why Hua Qingcheng carried the ice toad with her, he did not ask a single question.

Han Yichen first pulled out a cloth bag of golden needles from his bosom. Then, he casually picked up a needle, pulled Meng Haoling's hand, and quickly pricked his ring finger. After a drop of blood oozed from the finger, Han Yichen placed it in front of the ice toad. The ice toad, sensing the scent of blood, immediately latched onto the blood-soaked finger and greedily began to inhale.

After the ice toad had been sucking for about half a minute, Hua Qingcheng discovered that Meng Haoling, who was lying on the bed, had a pale face, but it began to improve at a speed visible to the naked eye. Moreover, his lips, which had turned slightly black and purple, also returned to their original color.

After the toad had been sucking in the poison for half a minute, its snow-white body was now covered in a layer of black mist. Han Yichen placed it in a bowl half-filled with water. The toad immediately expelled the poison it had inhaled. Only when the water in the bowl turned as black as ink did Han Yichen remove the toad.

"Alright, Xiao Qingcheng. The snake venom on this idiot has been removed. Next, I'm going to give him acupuncture to treat his internal injuries. Turn your head away for a moment."

After washing the ice toad and placing it back in the wooden box, Han Yichen handed the box back to Hua Qingcheng. He then pulled off Meng Haoling's belt and opened his shirt, revealing his fair and spacious chest.

Thinking about the two times he had seen the ice toad, which had always looked listless and dormant, Han Yichen narrowed his eyes and glanced suspiciously at Hua Qingcheng beside him.

"Xiao Qingcheng, ever since Second Master gave you the Ice Toad, what do you usually feed it?"

"Ice."

"Ice...ice cubes?"

When Han Yichen heard this, his hand holding the needle trembled slightly and he almost pricked himself.

"Since it's called an ice toad and it's emitting cold air, doesn't it feed on ice?"

Hua Qingcheng turned her head and looked at Han Yichen blankly, and also caught a glimpse of the perfect figure under the weak appearance of the young man on the bed. She immediately suppressed her inner embarrassment and turned her head back without blushing or beating her heart.

Han Yichen nearly vomited blood upon hearing this. No wonder the ice toad had already entered hibernation even though it was only autumn. It must have been starving!

"Um...Xiao Qingcheng, even though the Ice Toad has the word 'ice' in its name, it doesn't mean that its food is ice."

"It doesn't eat ice cubes? Then what should I feed it?" Hua Qingcheng rubbed her chin with her right hand, her beautiful eyes shining as she thought hard.

"Insects like earthworms, snails, termites, beetles, slugs, silkworms, moths, and butterflies are all fine. If you really don't have any, you can feed it small fish and shrimp."

This is a thousand-year-old ice toad. Han Yichen is really afraid that it may survive the thousand years but will not be able to survive the cruel hands of his young wife.

So, Han Yichen patiently explained things, which was rare. Furthermore, Han Yichen secretly made a decision in his heart that he would never let Hua Qingcheng raise any children he and Hua Qingcheng had in the future...

"So that's how it is. Okay, I understand." Hua Qingcheng said embarrassedly.

It seems I can't let the ice toad live in the doghouse anymore! Hua Qingcheng thought about throwing the ice toad into the rice paddy and letting it hunt on its own. This would save time and effort, which actually suited Hua Qingcheng's taste. Besides, I no longer need to take time out every day to go into the courtyard of the space villa to feed the ice toad ice cubes...

Seeing that his young wife had listened, Han Yichen felt relieved. He then took out the golden needles and began to prick them into Meng Haoling's body.

"Hmm~"

Meng Haoling, with delicate skin and tender flesh, was unconscious, but after the needle was inserted, he still couldn't help but let out a muffled groan. He was so soft and tender, and felt numb and tingling, which was very cute.

"No more spoiled behavior!"

Han Yichen curled his lips and continued to inject Meng Haoling with needles without any mercy.

Therefore, Meng Haoling's unconscious tingling moans would occasionally reach the ears of Hua Qingcheng who was standing beside him.

"What a cute guy!"

Hua Qingcheng's lips curled slightly. She wasn't short of a husband, but she had no siblings, so having a cute little brother like this wouldn't be bad. After all, her father, Ye Maochun, had just gotten pregnant, and it would take a long time for the baby in his belly to be born and grow up. Picking up a ready-made little brother seemed like a good idea...

"Xiao Qingcheng, is he cuter or am I cuter?"

Hearing the words of his young wife, who was actually filled with joy from the bottom of her heart, Han Yichen, who was giving acupuncture to Meng Haoling, suddenly wanted to go on strike.

"Achen, you are my Sanlang."

Hua Qingcheng looked back at Han Yichen with a hint of amusement, but he stretched out a hand and turned her face to the side, preventing her from looking at Meng Haoling who was lying on the bed with his upper body naked.

"I don't care, you have to answer me! Do you like him or me?" Han Yichen looked at Hua Qingcheng's profile with a little resentment.

"I just treat him as a child, no different from my one-year-old, three-year-old, and five-year-old little brothers. But you, Han Yichen, are my husband, the man I, Hua Qingcheng, love in my heart." Hua Qingcheng explained patiently, realizing that her arrogant third husband sounded a little uneasy.

"But my one-year-old, three-year-old, and five-year-old little brothers will also grow up one day..."

"Han Yichen, do you think that when they grow up, they will be able to look up to your family's old and ugly wife?"
