Transmigrated As My Former Uncle’s Sweetheart

lips in displeasure.

“Did you hear me?” When he did not reply, Lin Qingyuan tightened her hold on his neck.

Caught off guard, Long Xuan sputtered and gasped for breath.

When he regained his composure, he snapped, “If you tighten your arms any further, you’ll have to remarry.”

Lin Qingyuan immediately loosened her hold.
“Well, it’s your fault for being so obnoxious.
All I need is a promise from you.”

Stifling the urge to throw her off his back, Long Xuan closed his eyes and forced the words out through his teeth.
“I won’t.”

Lin Qingyuan heaved a sigh of relief, then yawned and lay down against his back.
“Let’s go, then.”

Sensing her movement, Long Xuan turned his head and gave her a sidelong glance.
Noticing the exhaustion on her face, he eventually held himself back from saying anything else.

After walking to his horse and tossing the reins to Bai He, he left it alone.

Chen Xuping had appeared out of the blue and even helped Lin Qingyuan suck out the snake venom.
There was no way it was a coincidence.

It was certainly intentional.

He was already merciful enough for not tearing a man who coveted his wife to pieces, not to mention looking after said man.

He had only managed to keep himself from doing away with the already injured Chen Xuping because of his excellent self-control.

When they entered the city, it was already dark.
If they had arrived any later, the gates would have been closed.

Long Xuan sent Lin Qingyuan and Chen Xuping to be treated at a medical hall.

The venom in Lin Qingyuan’s ankle had already been sucked clean.
Although her wound looked rather ghastly as she had exerted too much force just now and opened the wound further, there was not much cause for concern.

After the physician applied medicine to her ankle and bandaged it, she was good to go.

Chen Xuping’s condition, on the other hand, was slightly more serious.

He had accidentally ingested some venom while helping Lin Qingyuan suck it out.
Moreover, Long Xuan’s palm strike had thrown the state of his vital energy and blood into disarray, which eventually made him pass out.
