Chapter 89 The Backbone (Second Update)

(Eighty-nine)

"His life is passing away."

The words fell, like thunder falling on Shen Tanqi's head. He took San Dan from Yu Ce's arms in disbelief and asked in a low voice: "Mianmian? Mianmian, what's wrong with you?"

Sandan seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep and did not respond.

I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but Shen Tanqi held Sandan, but he felt that Sandan was extremely cold and without any warmth. He looked at Yu Ce anxiously and said, "Take another look and see if there is something wrong with you."?”

How could such a thing happen to such a good person?

Yu Ce had felt it many times and forcefully held Shen Tanqi's shoulders to calm him down: "I'll find a way. Don't be afraid. There must be something wrong."

The reason why Sandan's life is said to be passing is because Yu Ce gradually loses consciousness of Sandan's existence.Dragons can sense their children through blood, and this blood connection will only disappear when one party dies.But at this moment, Yu Ce's hand touched San Dan, but he couldn't notice anything.

It was as if... Sandan was about to die.

He stretched out his hand, his fingertips still trembling, and touched Sandan lightly again, instilling his spiritual energy bit by bit.

Sure enough, like a clear spring flowing into a river or a stream flowing into the sea, the spiritual energy was swallowed up completely by Three Eggs in the blink of an eye, and then quickly returned to calm.

No matter how much spiritual energy was input, this was the case. The life that passed away from Sandan showed no signs of slowing down, and Sandan did not give him any response.

Even Yu Ce's Dantian is like the sea, let alone Shen Tanqi.

Hearing this, Lin Tanjiu put down the sword in her hand, walked up to them, leaned down, and gently stroked the eggshell, frowning: "Were you injecting spiritual energy into Sandan just now?"

Yu Ce looked up at her and said, "Yes."

Lin Tanjiu's eyes swept over the goldfish and taro balls, and then he confirmed his inner thoughts and whispered: "Feiluan Sect has two divine beasts, Fei Luan, who give birth to children every hundred years and hatch them with spiritual energy. Fei Luan gave birth ten years ago.The beast eggs also had the same symptoms, and a world-famous demon doctor in Wenqiu City treated him and recovered. We happen to be going to Wenqiu City to participate in the alchemy trial, so we can ask the demon doctor for help."

Wenqiu is different from Shuoxia. The city lord of Wenqiu City is also a demon. There are several times more demons in the city than humans, so there are many powerful demon doctors.

Shen Tanqi clutched the small blanket wrapped around Sandan, his eyes were hot. He turned away and said, "Okay, we will go and see it when we get to Wen Qiucheng."

After that, he handed the three eggs to Yu Ce, stood up and walked out of the carriage, and whispered: "I'm a little bored, let's go out for a while."

Yu Ce looked at him with complicated eyes, for a long time, and nodded.

Outside the carriage, Shen Tanqi sat at the front of the carriage, hugging herself tightly.

I knew I shouldn't think about those messy things now, but I felt terribly uncomfortable in my heart.

He always felt that it was his fault.

Every time he wants to work hard at something, life will give him a blow in time and tell him to stop wishful thinking.

Could it be that Sandan got sick because he changed the plot?

He would rather live in a puddle of mud for the rest of his life, just hoping that his three children can grow up healthily.

Such thoughts were growing crazily in his mind like weeds. Shen Tanqi clenched his fists and gave his head a hard blow.

He is too cowardly.

When he was ten years old, after his parents died in a car accident, Shen Tanwu held the photos of his parents and placed them on the table in the living room.

What he was thinking at that time was whether if he had not been born in this world, his parents would not want a divorce, and they would not have a car accident on the way to the divorce.

Although he also had hatred and resentment towards them in his heart, Shen Tanqi still couldn't help but blame himself when he saw their smiles in the cold photos.

It's him who's not good, he's the one who's not good.

Such thoughts almost overwhelmed Shen Tanqi's sanity. He hugged his knees tightly, and hot tears fell on his knees one by one, leaving traces on them.

After a while, the curtain of the carriage door behind him was lifted up. Shen Tanqi raised his eyes slightly, but before he could look back, his shoulders were already being gently embraced.

"Ah Qi." Yu Ce's voice was very calm, and he put the palm of his coat on Shen Tanqi, wrapping it tightly around his trembling shoulders.

"Um."

Shen Tanqi wiped away his tears and said with a smile: "Why are you here with me? You go in and give Sandan some spiritual energy to see if it works."

Hearing this, Yu Ce shook his head and said, "It's okay. The monster race has tenacious vitality and will not die easily."

"No matter how stubborn you are, he is just an egg now. He has not been born yet." Shen Tanqi reached out and pushed him gently, and said weakly, "Hurry up."

He didn't want Yu Ce to see such a cowardly and incompetent side of him, as if he had not changed at all from his ten-year-old self. It was ridiculous to say that after more than ten years, he had not made any progress.

Yu Ce didn't move, just sat beside him and said softly: "Do you want to quarrel?"

He suddenly said this, and Shen Tanqi was stunned for a moment, with tears still hanging on his eyelashes like crystal dewdrops, and asked dully: "What are you talking about?"

Is Yu Ce's mind too frightened?

Yu Ce stretched out his hand to seal the secret, leaving a small space for him and Shen Tanqi to isolate all the sounds outside, and then said: "I guess you are thinking that you abandoned me and the children and went back to your own way.World, you haven’t taken care of Sandan in the past seven days, and you haven’t paid more attention to the changes in Sandan since you came back, so it’s all your fault for not taking good care of the child.”

Shen Tanqi frowned slightly, understanding what he meant, and said as if he was giving up on himself: "Yes, it's all my fault."

He was even thinking that both his brother, sister and Yu Ce's children wanted to be protected, so God punished him for his greed and made him unable to protect both.

Yu Ce penetrated his mind, considered his words for a moment, and continued without changing his expression: "If you say so, then I am also wrong. I did not stop you from leaving, nor did I use my child to threaten you or tie you to my side.I should be more ruthless and put a thousand-pound lock on you and not let you do anything except hatch eggs. This is for the sake of Sandan."

Shen Tanqi's eyes widened slightly, and he couldn't believe that such words came from Yu Ce's mouth: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"I know." Yu Ce replied without hesitation, "I know that you are timid, hesitant, soft-hearted, and used to escaping. I also know that you attribute all mistakes to yourself. When encountering difficulties, you first think of giving up and retreating.. Because you are afraid of failure and that things will be different from what you imagined, so you always choose to escape within the scope of what you can bear. If something happens, you will only scold and punish yourself."

After the words fell, Shen Tanqi looked at him speechlessly, the tears in the corners of his eyes were wiped away by the wind. When he met Yu Ce's heavy gaze, Shen Tanqi could not say anything to refute.

He didn't understand why Yu Ce said this. He had to tear his wounds and let him clearly see how ugly, embarrassing, cowardly and miserable he was before Yu Ce would be satisfied?

"Yes," Shen Tanqi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he grabbed Yu Ce's clothes and stared at him with some anger, "I am this kind of person, I was born like this. If you are like me, you have grown upYou have never succeeded in anything. There is no so-called talent, no strong family background, no parents who have taken care of you since childhood and taught you carefully. There are only failures and insults in life. Do you think you will be any better than me?"

He clearly said extremely unpleasant words, but Yu Ce's reaction was just to look at him quietly, which made Shen Tanqi almost feel that not a word of what he said fell into his ears, and a feeling of annoyance dared to rise from the top of his heart, disturbing his mood.

"Forget it, whatever."

He shook Yu Ce away and whispered: "Since you know how bad I am, you should have stayed away from me in the first place. Of course, it's still too late for you to regret it now."

Hearing his words, Yu Ce's eyes darkened, and he suddenly came forward and held Shen Tanqi's face, kissing him fiercely without hesitation, their breaths intertwined hotly, Shen Tanqi panicked for a moment, and almost feltI'm going to fall off the carriage.

"Yu..."

Before the words could be spoken, Yu Ce had already pinched his face, bit Shen Tan's lacquered lips, and swallowed up the rest of his words between his lips and teeth.

The carriage was moving very fast, and the wind was blowing, blowing their dark hair away.

The ends of the hair were tangled together in the wind, making it difficult to separate them.

A cold hand pressed against the side of Shen Tanqi's face, forcing him to calm down and look into his eyes.

"Aqi, I said," Yu Ce's voice was very slow as his tears were kissed one by one lovingly, "You can rely on me, you can trust me."

"Even if you never succeed in anything in your life, even if you have such mean and bitter parents, even if you always encounter countless hardships in your life, so what?"

Yu Ce's voice was very soft, his eyes fell firmly on Shen Tanqi's eyes, he lowered his head and kissed his tearful eyelashes, "You are not facing this alone, you still have me. MineI am not just there to eat, sleep, chat and make you happy with you, but to make you brave and do everything you want to do without fear of failure."

"If you are at fault, even I am at fault, and if I am at fault, you cannot escape it."

"We will face everything and solve all difficulties together until we die of old age and turn into dust."

Shen Tanqi looked at him blankly until Yu Ce grabbed his hand and placed it on his chest.

"Do you believe me?"

The heart beat, beating on Shen Tanqi's heart through the palms of his hands.

In that silent heartbeat, he gradually found himself.

Shen Tanqi lowered his eyes, wiped the tears on his face with his sleeves as if mocking himself, and said softly: "Of course I believe you. Of course a cannon fodder like me must hug your thighs tightly, the backbone of our family."

Yu Ce's tense heart finally relaxed. He stretched out his hand, wrapped the coat around Shen Tanqi's shoulders more tightly, and said in a soft voice, "You are also my backbone."

Without Shen Tanqi, he wouldn't be what he is now.

Hearing this, Shen Tanqi pursed his lips and felt like crying again. He hugged Yu Ce tightly, rubbed his neck affectionately, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, husband."

Yu Ce laughed helplessly, hugged him back, like coaxing taro balls and goldfish, rubbed Shen Tanqi's head, and said: "Now call me husband, you just pushed me away with great strength, I see youYou are determined not to want me."

Shen Tanqi couldn't hold it in at all, and tears flowed out like a floodgate, soaking Yu Ce's clothes from crying. He leaned on Yu Ce's shoulder like a puppy and choked:"I'm sorry, Ben, I didn't want to push you, but your mouth is too bad..."

Yu Ce: "...It's okay, at least he didn't hit me."

After the words fell, Shen Tanqi burst into laughter, wiped his face with the handkerchief Yu Ce handed him, and said, "I have never hit you. It's like I always bully you."

Yu Ce straightened the hair on his forehead and pretended to be confused: "No, but it was clear that Ah Qi grabbed my back on the bed last night..."

"Shut up!"

"good."

Yu Ce helped him up from the ground. Shen Tanqi's legs were almost numb.

"Go back quickly. It's windy outside. Go back and talk to Sandan. Maybe he just fell asleep." Yu Ce is still very confident in the vitality of the dragon clan. So far, the dragon clan has not had any stillbirths, and there are often young dragons.His death was basically due to hunting by humans and demons.

In his opinion, there is indeed something wrong with Sandan, but as long as the key to the problem is found, everything will be solved.

There's no way he's going to die.

Back when his mother took seven kinds of poisons and planted demonic worms to abort him, didn't he grow up like this?

Yu Ce gathered his thoughts and looked at Shen Tanqi silently, saying nothing.

"By the way, I think Mianmian's matter is a bit strange. I guess there is a possibility."

Before walking out of the barrier, Shen Tanqi suddenly thought of an extremely important thing, that is, he had traveled fifteen years later, when all three children had grown up.I had some complaints, so I hid it without permission.

Now calm down and think about it, maybe it’s really because of that incident.

Yu Ce lowered his eyes to look at him and said "hmm" in a low voice. He was still thinking about why Sandan caused the loss of life. He said absently: "What is the possibility?"

Shen Tanqi scratched his face and said: "That is, is there a possibility that on the one hand we cannot feel Mianmian's life, on the other hand the spiritual energy that is input is absorbed by Mianmian like a bottomless pit, because...Is Mianmian possessed inside the egg?"

"Bewitched..."

Yu Ce repeated it casually. Then, when he realized what Shen Tanqi said, he froze and raised his head in surprise: "What did you say?"
