Chapter 649: Chapter 650: Something is Wrong with My Body

Tang Zelin immediately laughed, “What does ‘mmm-hmm’ mean?”

“It means you can’t just bully me.”

“Is that so? Well then, you can bully me all you want, I don’t mind.”

“I’m lazy.”

Tang Zelin squeezed her hand tightly, looked at her seriously, and then glanced at the bed behind them.

He coughed and said solemnly, “Wife, you can’t be lazy about this kind of thing.”

Su Shu blinked, feeling mentally exhausted.

How did the topic shift in his direction just like that?

She glared at him, withdrew her hand, and said seriously too, “Let’s just sleep well tonight.”

Tang Zelin nodded very earnestly, “Of course we need to sleep well.”

But he said ‘sleep well’ with a loaded meaning.

Su Shu’s forehead popped a “#”

“You know that pregnancy isn’t suited for strenuous exercise, right?”

“I know.”

“Good, as long as you know.” A weight lifted from her heart.

Tang Zelin then smiled slightly, “So I will be gentle.”

Su Shu: “…”

Talk about useless words!

They joked around for a while, then Tang Zelin stopped teasing her and changed the subject.

“After the children fall asleep, take me into your space to have a look.”

Su Shu sensed his serious tone, “What’s going on?”

“I heard some rumors outside, got some ideas. Isn’t there a powerful system in your space? I want to check and see if that place really exists.”

“Which place?”

“We’ll talk about it once we’re inside.”

“Alright.” She wasn’t in any rush.

Tang Zelin’s expression darkened slightly and, after a moment of silence, he looked up and said, “I owe it to the Little Snake King that I could come back alive this time, but… I didn’t protect it well, I’m sorry.”

Su Shu lowered her eyes for a moment, then looked up and smiled faintly.

“At least you brought it back for me.”

Tang Zelin looked into Su Shu’s eyes, “Where is it now?”

Su Shu said, “I buried it under its favorite Peach Blossom Tree, but…”

After saying just two words, Su Shu suddenly furrowed her brow.

“But what?”

Su Shu thought for a moment, unsure of how to explain certain things.

“What’s wrong?” Tang Zelin saw her look troubled.

Su Shu pondered for a while and then suddenly lifted her arm, pulling up her sleeve to reveal a red snake-pattern totem on her wrist that resembled a tattoo.

“I once made a life-death pact with the Little Snake King. I live, it lives; I die, it dies. This totem appeared back then. After it had an accident, I thought this tattoo would disappear, but look.”

She extended her wrist towards Tang Zelin.

Tang Zelin looked down and saw the red tattoo, which not only hadn’t disappeared but had become even brighter and more striking.

His thumb brushed over it, “When did it start to change like this?”

“It started the day after the burial. I didn’t notice at first; it was only two days ago when I was bathing Xiao’ai, and she suddenly mentioned that the little snake on my aunt’s wrist was very red, that I paid attention to it. I’ve been unable to understand. The pact between me and the Little Snake King was based on coexistence. If it died, not only did this red totem not disappear but it became redder. What do you think, does ‘death’ mean the same for creatures like the Little Snake King as it does for ordinary people?”

Tang Zelin thought for a moment, then said, “Let’s go into the space.”

“Okay.”

Under the Peach Blossom Tree, three sticks of incense, and a cup of wine.

Some things, words cannot fully express.

Su Shu did not disturb him.

She just sat with him under the Peach Blossom Tree, keeping the Little Snake King company.

After a long silence, Tang Zelin voiced his concern.

“Su Shu, there’s something not right with my body.”

Su Shu didn’t quite understand what he meant. What does ‘something not right with my body’ mean?

He then explained to her how his body had rapidly recovered during his recuperation in B Province after being injured.

Su Shu was also surprised, “How could that be?”
