Qing Li appears unaware of her brother Qingyang being a fugitive, prompting suspicion after they arrive in Fengdu. While eating wontons, the protagonist's chopsticks break and her chair collapses, leading her to suspect sabotage.

Qing Li patted her own shapely legs, remarking, "You can also sit on my lap if you wish."

"You two..." I was utterly perplexed by the situation.

Observing the mother and son, both of whom had generously offered their laps, I desperately wished I could vanish.

The shop owner, who had arrived with an extra chair, stood frozen. After a prolonged silence, he stammered, "I've truly never witnessed such a display of a henpecked husband, with both mother and son conspiring."

"You've misunderstood, she is my mother," Yu Longting clarified gently to the shop owner.

However, the shop owner looked as though he had encountered a ghost, seemingly unnerved by Longting's subtle emanation of authority as the Snake Tribe leader. "She certainly maintains herself incredibly well; she appears to be around your age, perhaps even your age..."

With that, the shop owner awkwardly dabbed sweat from his brow using the same rag he'd used on the table, before retreating to the kitchen.

"Try using the chopsticks again," Yu Longting instructed, adjusting my seating position for comfort and offering me the chopsticks.

A premonition stirred within me upon hearing his words. I picked up the chopsticks and attempted to grasp a dumpling swimming in spicy red oil.

The chopsticks snapped once more, and the aromatic dumpling tumbled back onto the plate.

At this point, ignorance would be pure foolishness. "Have I lost control of my strength? Have I... achieved unparalleled martial arts prowess?"

"You have just refined three Three Corpse Gods; your current strength surpasses even an Earth Immortal. It might take approximately ten days to half a month to adapt," Qing Li stated serenely, her chin resting in her palm as she leisurely consumed the dumplings from her own bowl.

Her eating was remarkably delicate, with not a trace of the spicy oil marring her bowl.

Yu Longting retrieved a ceramic spoon, taking it upon himself to feed me. "Allow me to feed you instead. Otherwise, I fear we might incur a substantial debt before we can depart."

"Mmm, mmm, please feed me~ Thank you, dear~" I readily accepted Yu Longting's offer to be fed.

Versus facing a hefty bill, a bit of embarrassment seemed a small price to pay.

The term "dear" caused Yu Longting's eyes to soften with a gentle smile.

Following our excursion to the Nether Pond, the scar marring his face had significantly diminished.

While a trace of his formidable appearance remained, at the very least, the exposed bone was no longer visible, thus preventing him from frightening those nearby.

My lips tingled from the spice, yet I felt a satisfying sheen of sweat covering me from head to toe.

"Could it be... you are pregnant again? I've never observed you handle spice with such resilience before," Yu Longting remarked casually.

I pouted, momentarily taken aback. "Impossible; I only gave birth not too long ago..."

"Considering the timeline, it is indeed improbable. However, in the future, we must exercise greater caution. Should I procure medication to prevent pregnancy?" Yu Longting considered the dates, concluding that pregnancy was unlikely, yet a frown creased his brow.

Qing Li, observing from the side, displayed her displeasure, casting a cool glance towards us. "You have but one child, and you're already contemplating contraception. What is the meaning of this?"

"Giving birth is a painful ordeal," Yu Longting stated unequivocally.

I nodded in agreement. "Mother-in-law, childbirth is indeed excruciatingly painful."

"I bore four children myself and never once complained of the pain. If you do not have more, from where will I acquire grandchildren?" Qing Li declared, slamming her chopsticks down in a small outburst.

I honestly had not anticipated, nor had I foreseen, that she would be a mother-in-law so eager for grandchildren. "Since you desire them, I shall have more with Yu Longting to ensure you are constantly entertained."

"You spoil her excessively. Is it not possible for Yu Rongling to have children? Did he not successfully win over Xiao Shenshen?" Yu Longting disregarded the conversation entirely, coldly refusing. He then added, "Qing Li, do you not wish to learn about the animosity between Qingyang and Zhao Sihai?"

To spare me further discomfort regarding childbirth, Yu Longting deftly steered the conversation toward the conflict between Qingyang and Zhao Sihai.

He recounted to Qing Li the complete narrative of Zhao Sihai's true identity and his underlying motives. Furthermore, he elucidated the incident involving the Celestial Omen, which had been precipitated by Xiao Shenshen and Dumpling.

"Wanwan, please fetch a bottle of white wine and fill my glass," Qing Li requested after a moment of contemplation, directing her instructions at me.
