Qing Shen fell into Yu Rongling's arms, his Essence Blood depleted but his body healed. Meanwhile, Lin Batian delighted her mother and grandmother with her grilled fish, only to playfully trick her father with chili. Yu Longting and Su Wan announced they had to attend meetings at the Arbitration Council, leaving Lin Batian behind despite her pleas. Su Wan then revealed that the Zhang Family proposed a marriage alliance for Lin Batian with their adopted son, which the little girl vehemently rejected before running off to play with her Uncle Er. Su Wan asked her mother-in-law, Qing Li, to look after Lin Batian while she and Yu Longting were away.

"Leave it to me, girls should be pampered." Qing Li sipped her tea, enjoying the fish her granddaughter roasted, and said pleasantly, "If Lin Daiyu had been raised like this, she wouldn’t have had the tragic fate of dying heartbroken for Baoyu. Instead, the tale of Lin Daiyu uprooting the willows would be passed down through generations."

"Mom, you’re right." Yu Longting agreed.

Qing Li was momentarily stunned, not reacting for quite a while.

Although Su Wan was skilled at managing her husband, making Yu Longting obediently call her ’Mom’,

It was still the first time he stood by her like a son, agreeing with her.

After a while, Qing Li smiled, "Like mother, like son, I suppose."

Our little heroine, Lin Batian, doesn’t yet have the ability to uproot willows.

Give it a few more years, and who knows.

She strolled to the door of her second uncle’s room and squatted down to keep watch.

From inside came the sound of crying, as her second uncle wiped tears, brewing medicine while cursing.

Was he going to cook Second Aunt into soup?

Second Uncle wouldn’t be so heartless, would he?

"Damn Lin Batian, stupid Lin Batian, causing trouble all day long." Yu Rongling finished brewing the medicine and carefully fed it to Qing Shen.

Qing Shen felt the warm medicine entering her mouth and woke up with a light cough.

Seeing the handsome young man in front of her with tear-streaked face, she found herself speechless, as if something was stuck in her throat.

Yu Rongling saw Qing Shen awake, quickly wiped away his tears, "You’re awake, how are you feeling? Any other discomforts?"

"I’m fine, what did you give me to drink? It smells so fishy, it’s awful." Qing Shen drank two more sips and felt too nauseous to drink more.

Yu Rongling checked her pulse and found her body had recovered, whispering, "Just medicinal herbs, if you don’t like it, you don’t have to drink it."

"Thank you, for making the medicine and feeding it to me, I’m all good now." Qing Shen gave a sweet and gentle smile.

Yu Rongling perked up immediately, "If you’re fine, play a round of Kings with me."

"You’re Gold, I’m King, we don’t match." Qing Shen flatly refused.

Yu Rongling said, "It’s okay, we can play matches."

"You’re so bad, I can’t carry you." Qing Shen said with a headache.

Yu Rongling patted his chest, "I’ll carry you, as long as I can carry you, it’ll be fine."

Qing Shen: "..."

Really, a noob with an addiction!!

"Little Fairy, do you like me?"

"..."

"Like or not like?"

"I... I need to think about it, alright?"

"!!!"

In the bushes, Lin Batian returned to her place, feeling satisfied, "La la la, mission accomplished, I hope Second Uncle figures it out, my efforts weren’t in vain."

"Little girl, alone?" A dark figure emerged from the shadows, blocking Lin Batian’s way.

The newcomer wore a strange black robe, yet their skin was a greenish-yellow, with deep purple veins showing on their face, and a predatory look in their eyes.

Lin Batian stopped, "Are you a Vine Demon? No, there’s Corpse Qi on you."

The little girl gazed at the man covered in Corpse Qi and Demon Qi, pondering for a moment, then understood, "I get it, you’re a Yin Corpse dwelling in the vine roots, you’ve snuck into the Snake Sect and came looking for me at night, perhaps to..."

"Hm?" The man was probably surprised that a half-year-old girl could see through his true body at a glance, and raised an eyebrow.

Lin Batian took a small step back, her expression slightly stiff, "You want to kill me or kidnap me, but I know your body is so weak, eating me is more worthwhile. Second Uncle, come save me..."

How unlucky, her heavenly fire was sealed by her dad!!

Is she really going to get eaten by this Yin Corpse??

"Why call for your Second Uncle, your Second Uncle is just a useless snake, if he comes, it’ll just be an extra snake soup for me to eat." The man sneered, reaching out his claw towards Lin Batian.
