My Demon Husband Is a Snake

Chapter 1189: You’re Just a Child

Yu Longting kissed away the tears on my face one by one, and then lowered his head to help Dumpling wipe his tears with a tissue, "Is he really my child? People say I was a late bloomer, so how did I have such an early-maturing son? Lin Yutuan, there’s no need for you to be so sensible. Isn’t the joy of childhood all about being capricious and playful? When you grow up, there won’t be any chance for that."

"Daddy, Mommy~" Little Dumpling spoke in his childish voice, instantly melting the hearts of both me and Yu Longting. Unfortunately, his words offered no further explanation.

He merely used his soft little hands to touch my and Yu Longting’s foreheads, communicating with us through telepathy.

He told us that Dumpling didn’t want to go to the temple to become a monk; he wanted to stay with Daddy and Mommy.

Yu Longting picked me up and seated me on the bed.

Then he cradled Dumpling in his arms, gently patting Little Dumpling’s back to lull him to sleep, "Since you don’t want to leave, we’ll keep you by our side. You’re just a child; there’s no need to worry about so much. Leave it to us. It’s time for a nap."

Raising his brow, Yu Longting happened to see Beichen standing at the door and asked, "Why haven’t you left? Eavesdropping?? Ever since you got together with your wife, you’ve been learning bad habits."

If it were the old Yu Longting, he would have lost his temper and started scolding by now.

At this moment, he merely teased with a remark, so gentle now that he didn’t seem like himself.

"Snake Lord, I wanted to say that you could actually use tonics to strengthen Little Snake Lord’s Taoist Heart," Beichen reminded expressionlessly, "You returned to the Snake Sect and cave mansion to find medicine for Little Snake Lord, right?"

"What you can think of, I can too, but... the medicines I gathered seem precious but are rather rudimentary compared to the damage Dumpling has suffered. Their efficacy is as insignificant as pouring hot water on ice—they hardly make a difference." Yu Longting lulled his treasured Little Dumpling to sleep in his arms, gently caressing the red scales with his fingers, feeling much like a loving father consumed with worry.

This was the first time I saw Yu Longting having a soft heart for his offspring like a human father.

Not like the year I gave birth to Dumpling when he could even kill his own flesh and blood.

The expression on his face was so cold-hearted, making him seem heartless.

I always felt that Yu Longting was still the gentle person at heart; he was just less inclined to hide himself now.

Slowly, he learned to let others see his vulnerability, his gentle side.

They won’t easily misunderstand him, able to touch the warmth deep in his heart.

Beichen said, "Actually, giving Little Snake Lord Ginseng should work immediately."

"We used to discuss eating Ginseng, but now she’s not only the cherished treasure of the second senior, she’s achieved Physical Sanctification, and I can’t overpower her." Yu Longting shook his head repeatedly, a big victim’s expression on his face.

Beichen suggested again, "Actually, he could eat Ginseng Beard. Given how powerful Shenshen is, her beard should be enough to alleviate some pain."

"This is feasible, but I need to discuss it with my wife about what to do. The Ginseng Spirit is no longer a little girl; to strip the clothes off a grown girl, leaving her bare, is somewhat embarrassing." Yu Longting looked at me with an ’I told you so’ expression.

Although he entertained the thought of stripping Shenshen’s clothes, which was a bit underhanded.

However, mothers across the world can become incredibly selfish for their children, so I nodded, "I’ll propose it to Shenshen. She likely won’t refuse."

"Another thing, Lady of the Snake Lord, your disciple is downstairs saying he wants to see you, but Snake Lord instructed that unless it’s particularly important, you shouldn’t be disturbed casually." Beichen reported another matter.
