Lips separate.
Shen Yunhao lowered his head, carefully examining that stunningly beautiful face. He could never tire of looking at such a girl…
Ning Yuyao opened her eyes and met Shen Yunhao's affectionate gaze. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her head.
Seeing this, Shen Yunhao smiled.
This little girl... is she shy now?
On the surface, the kiss just now appeared to be initiated by Shen Yunhao, but Ning Yuyao's soft "husband" already revealed its true meaning.
However, what Shen Yunhao didn't know was that Ning Yuyao was indeed shy, but it wasn't entirely the kind of shyness that comes from being embarrassed; it was more like a feeling of shame.
She wasn't embarrassed by the simple kiss.
Rather, it's the subtle thoughts contained within that kiss...
From a certain perspective, this kiss could be considered both aboveboard and clandestine.
"Openly and honestly" refers to her displaying her love in front of Zhuli, even carrying a hint of... asserting her dominance.
And "secretly" refers to... Shen Yunhao has become the one being used, completely unaware of the intricacies involved, only knowing that his wife's lips are so sweet, and he wishes he could nibble on them a few more times.
This was Ning Yuyao's first move against Zhu Li, but she dared not let Shen Yunhao know the truth.
So when she noticed Shen Yunhao's gaze, the girl, feeling guilty, was somewhat afraid to face him.
If my husband finds out about this later, he'll probably be angry...
Should we tell him now?
Shen Yunhao had no idea what Ning Yuyao was thinking. He assumed she was just shy and didn't tease her. Instead, he smiled and took her small hand, leading her to sit down on the edge of the bed.
"How is Yao'er recovering these days?"
"It's all over now!" Ning Yuyao looked up at him: "Where's Brother Yunhao? When Yao'er brought you back earlier, you were unconscious the whole time. When did you wake up?"
"I've been awake for a while now, and nothing's wrong with me..."
Shen Yunhao then recalled the scenes beneath the underground palace and asked, "I heard you fought with that Holy Maiden of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect back then?"
"Um……"
Ning Yuyao nodded and sighed, "Back then, I was trapped in the illusion array and only encountered her. I had no choice but to fight her..."
Mu Shuangshuang: "???"
I don't believe you for a second! You're a really bad girl!
The first thing you did upon meeting was unleash a sword aura at the Void Realm level. And you're telling me it was unavoidable?
“However…” Ning Yuyao frowned and said, “After the fight, I felt that she didn’t seem like the mastermind. If she were the mastermind, why would she personally come out to fight me, and she didn’t seem to have any fighting spirit at all…”
"..."
Mu Shuangshuang felt like she was about to have a mental breakdown.
Why didn't you do this earlier?
My tail... I got stabbed for nothing!
Shen Yunhao hadn't expected Ning Yuyao to see this, but he didn't continue along with her words. Instead, he shook his head and said, "But if it weren't for her, you wouldn't have been injured. Really... ouch...!"
He gasped for breath halfway through his sentence.
"What's wrong, Brother Yunhao?"
Shen Yunhao naturally dared not mention that he had received an injection, and only said awkwardly, "I... I had a hand cramp..."
"..."
Ning Yuyao glanced at him, then lifted one of Shen Yunhao's arms and pulled it into her embrace: "Then... I'll rub it for Brother Yunhao..."
"..."
Um... this cramp was totally worth it.
Taking advantage of Ning Yuyao's inattention, Shen Yunhao reached one hand to the headboard and let the little scorpion that had just pricked him sneak out of his sleeve.
Mu Shuangshuang had a good idea of what might happen next, and she was worried that if she found out about it, she would be in big trouble. So she made a quick getaway without hesitation.
If it were when I first arrived, I could explain to this girl that I was also the one who got scammed, and that there wasn't any major grudge between us.
But now...
I've been here with that girl's young husband for half a month. Who knows what you two are up to? If you show yourselves, this girl will probably chop you into eight pieces...
After letting Mu Shuangshuang go, Shen Yunhao breathed a sigh of relief, but then suddenly remembered something, pursed his lips and said, "Yao'er... can the Heart-to-Heart Curse be broken?"
Ning Yuyao's expression froze, and her little mouth immediately pouted: "It was Senior Sister who told Brother Yunhao, right? Only Second Senior Sister is a big mouth!"
"Yao'er..."
Shen Yunhao took her small hand in his palm and rubbed it gently. He said softly, "Yao'er, you can't say that... I'm grateful that you planted this spell to protect my life, but... this is too unfair to you!"
"Brother Yunhao, you mustn't say that!" Ning Yuyao bit her lip and retorted to Shen Yunhao for the first time, "You are my husband, and any sacrifice you make is worthwhile. How can you talk about fairness!"
"Even so, you should still consider the other people who are good to you..." Shen Yunhao looked at her intently: "Your parents, your master, your senior sisters... even me, your husband!"
"..."
"Think about it, if something happens to me, would I want to watch you die with me? Of course I want you to live a good life!"
"If my husband dies... what's the point of Yao'er living..."
Ning Yuyao suddenly lowered her head and snuggled into Shen Yunhao's arms.
"Brother Yunhao, do you know what happened when I came out of seclusion... I heard you were gone. I never want to experience that feeling again in my life!"
"..."
Shen Yunhao's breath hitched, and his heart began to ache.
"Brother Yunhao... Yao'er doesn't want you to leave Yao'er anywhere, under any circumstances... not even in death!"
It's hard to imagine that the little girl who usually obeys Shen Yunhao's every command and is so weak could be so tough on this matter.
Shen Yunhao opened his mouth but couldn't say a word. In the end, he could only hold her in his arms and gently pat her back to comfort her.
Such intense emotions were indeed a burden that Shen Yunhao found difficult to bear.
What a wonderful girl... how did she end up with me...?
Seeing that the atmosphere of "long-awaited reunion" was about to disappear, Shen Yunhao suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Yao'er... when did you cast the love spell on me?"
"..."
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Ning Yuyao in his arms trembled slightly. The girl, who had been quite assertive just moments before, blushed instantly and buried her head in Shen Yunhao's arms, remaining silent.
"So... Yao'er... shouldn't you give me a reasonable explanation?" Shen Yunhao chuckled inwardly, raising his finger to gently hook the girl's delicate chin: "Senior Sister told me that planting this Heart-to-Heart Mantra isn't actually that simple..."
"Husband... my husband..."
Ning Yuyao truly hated Guan Yingying at this moment; how could she have told Shen Yunhao all of this...
"What do you mean, 'you'? You audacious girl, hurry up and break the curse on your husband!"
