I felt a bit bashful, my toes curling up thankfully, the little fellow I was cradling in my arms had fallen asleep, "A Snake Servant broke in, wanting to steal… steal Dumpling's soul, then it got sliced by Yitian's talisman. When I ran away, I didn't have time to put on my slippers, so I've been… barefooted… sorry…"
Naturally, I'm not one to lie or deceive, but I thought it would be better to exaggerate the seriousness of the matter, so I'd have more justification when I faced Immortal Liu later.
"What are you apologizing for? It's my fault for not protecting you. I'm supposed to be your man, yet I failed to protect you when you were in danger." Yu Longting's eyes were filled with deep self-blame, and he even grabbed my hand to slap his own face.
I immediately regretted lying to Yu Longting that the Snake Servant wanted to steal Dumpling's soul and hurriedly pulled back my hand he was holding, "I'm not hitting you, your skin is too thick, my hand would hurt if I did, let go."
