Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 1702: Darling, My Heart Is Hurt

Long Rui chuckled, his voice magnetic, saying, "A few months ago, when I was living in Mo Family Village, I discovered this place. I originally wanted to bring you here to have some fun, but there was an urgent matter in the Capital at the time, so I had to leave, thus missing the chance. Now that I’m back, I’ve brought you to see it. Do you like it?"

Xuexue nodded slightly, "Yes, I like it."

"As long as you like it!"

The two sat by the lakeside, enjoying the scenery, feeling particularly calm. Since this place was in the Deep Mountains, even though it was close to noon, the mist around the lakeside lingered.

At this beautiful moment, a sudden ’wah wah, wah wah’ sound came from the lake, much like the cry of a newborn baby.

Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, bringing an eerie feeling.

"Big Bull, why is there a baby’s cry here?" Having seen even ghosts, Xuexue wasn’t afraid. But suddenly hearing a baby’s cry in the Deep Mountains and Ancient Forests always felt eerie.

She silently chanted a few times in her heart: Xiao Taohong, Xiao Taohong.

The Xiao Taohong in space sensed Xuexue’s call and immediately floated out, "Master, any orders?"

Long Rui was well aware of Xuexue’s secret, so the sudden appearance of Xiao Taohong didn’t surprise him. Moreover, he had been inside the bracelet space before and was very familiar with Xiao Taohong and the Little Tiger.

"Why is there a baby’s cry in the lake? Go take a look."

"Yes."

Xiao Taohong agreed and floated in mid-air towards the center of the lake.

"Wah wah, wah wah."

The baby’s cry continued incessantly.

Long Rui was a bit annoyed with Xiao Taohong coming out as a third wheel. He had just dealt with two annoying ghosts, and now there was another one?

So, with a tone full of complaint, he said, "Wifey, this is a small matter. Actually, we don’t need that little ghost to come out; we can handle it ourselves."

Looking at the wide lakeside, Xuexue knew she couldn’t float to the center like Xiao Taohong.

"If I don’t let her out, how would we know what that eerie sound is?"

"Isn’t your husband here?"

"You?"

"Yes." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Can you do it?"

Xuexue’s voice was filled with doubt. This lake water was nothing like a treetop; there were no branches for support, even with excellent Qinggong, one couldn’t simply fly over it.

"Don’t underestimate me!" To prove to his wife that he’s formidable, Long Rui stood up, took a leap, and actually plunged into the lake...

"Oh! Be careful!"

Seeing this, Xuexue couldn’t help but exclaim, but the next second, she calmly sat back down.

Because that guy, Long Rui, was actually walking on the lake surface without a hitch, looking quite relaxed, as if playing. In a flash, he was back in front of her, without even catching his breath.

Xiao Taohong, in the center of the lake, watched Long Rui circle around her and leave. She turned to look at him in confusion, wondering if her master’s husband was crazy.

"Wifey, how about that? Your husband is impressive, right?" Long Rui looked at Xuexue with a face that said: Compliment me.

"Just average." Xuexue said blandly.

This guy was naturally arrogant, and she definitely couldn’t allow his cockiness to grow. Even though she was quite shocked by Long Rui’s strong martial arts skills, she outwardly appeared like it was a common sight.

"Huh?"

Obviously, Long Rui was a bit hurt by her words. He cried out in agony and collapsed onto the stone, clutching his heart with both hands, looking hurt, "Wifey, my heart is hurt, what should I do?"
