Chapter 903 - 702: Sky City
The moonlight is gentle, all is silent.
The two lay in bed, nestled together, speaking softly, chatting intermittently about their experiences during their separation.
The tender moonlight quietly spills through the window onto the floor.
The air seems to flow with warm affection, the atmosphere in the room is cozy and peaceful, as if everything before was just a dream.
At this moment, they are like the most ordinary couple, living plain yet blissful days, whispering in the night.
Xue Yinzhou holds Shen Tang in his arms, lowers his head to kiss her forehead gently, eyes full of compassion.
He never imagined that during the days he wasn’t by her side, she would experience so much.
The origin and existence of the System have always been an unsolved mystery, so Xue Yinzhou has never trusted the thing inside her body. But unexpectedly, it was the System that resurrected her, bringing her back to his side.
She came to this alien world alone, without care or protection, even lost her superpower, surviving countless near-death experiences to finally reach today.
Xue Yinzhou understands Shen Tang’s character; during the hardest times, she often brushes it off with a few light sentences.
But he can imagine how sad and lonely she must have been during those days. She endured countless injuries and shed much blood. Even if all has healed now, just thinking of it makes his heart ache, like being cut by a knife, and his guilt heavy.
But Shen Tang feels more compassion for him.
Back then, Xue Yinzhou believed she was dead, possibly lost even the thought of living, leading him to step resolutely into the Star Gate, making the final gamble.
These past few months, he experienced enduring times of fleeing, scheming... almost losing his life, making himself so miserable.
Her poor White Snake, how pitiable he is.
In both their hearts, the other lived such a miserable life, making them ache with compassion!
This is probably what it means to love deeply!
The night deepens.
It’s time to rest.
A silver-white snake tail sneaks out at some point, gently wraps around her ankle.
Even though it’s the cold season now, and there’s underfloor heating in the room, it’s not cold. But the icy soft touch suddenly on the leg still makes Shen Tang shiver slightly, a faint blush rising on her face.
"I miss you so much, Tangtang..." The man’s voice is somewhat hoarse, leaning closer trying to kiss her lips.
After all, they are married, Shen Tang knows very well what this guy wants to do.
She quickly extends a fingertip to lightly press against his slightly cool lips, somewhat helplessly saying, "You should rest well first, don’t think about those things."
"Before your body is completely healed, no engaging in strenuous activities!"
The last few words she bites particularly hard, carrying a commanding tone.
Due to the influence of Tumor Gu, Xue Yinzhou’s body is still very weak. That thing constantly drains the host’s Life Force, the more he forces himself, stays excited for long periods, and expends excessive energy, Tumor Gu will devour his life sooner.
Shen Tang wants him to rest quietly, also to fight for a little more time.
Xue Yinzhou can also feel his body getting more and more exhausted, and besides not knowing what other dangers Tumor Gu might pose, he dares not spontaneously be more intimate with her, so he doesn’t insist further.
These past few months, Xue Yinzhou hasn’t had a proper sleep.
He has either been fleeing or cultivating, almost no time to rest his eyes.
Only when with Shen Tang, smelling her familiar scent, can he completely lower his guard.
The accumulated fatigue of consecutive days surges like waves, holding the warm, soft person in his arms, he gradually falls asleep.
Even in sleep, he doesn’t forget to use his tail to wrap around her.
The thick silver-white snake tail almost fills the entire bed and drapes a segment winding on the ground, using the finest, lightest tip to swirl around her calf and waist.
Wrapped quite tightly, like afraid she might run away.
Shen Tang feels a bit like laughing, feeling as if she’s been tied up by this snake. But she understands he lacks a sense of security, so she allows him to bind her.
Listening to the calm breathing beside her ear, Shen Tang has no sleepiness.
She gazes at the handsome face right in front, cold and exquisite, silver hair scattered like a waterfall on the bed, as if spreading a sheet of moonlight-woven silk.
The man’s brows and eyes are deep and sharp, nose tall and proud, lips pale without a trace of flaw, like a finely crafted artwork.
Just looking at him gives one a sense of joy.
But his brows are slightly furrowed, who knows if he’s dreaming of something, or still feeling uncomfortable.
Shen Tang can’t help but reach out, softly smoothing his brows, then leaning in to leave a kiss between them.
