My Demon Husband Is a Snake Chapter 1103: He’s Dead Anyway, So Let’s Dig Out the Inner Core

Piao Changji was drenched in cold sweat, turning back every few steps in the corridor, afraid that Yu Longting had not followed.

If he delayed any longer, only a dead end would await him.

At the end of the corridor, Piao Changji twisted two candlesticks simultaneously, opening a hidden secret door.

The secret chamber inside was clearly filled with malicious traps to protect the items within.

But he was now teetering on the brink of life and death.

His wily schemes had vanished into thin air, and he had vomited blood several times along the way, without stopping his steps.

"Here!! The scriptures are here, take them, quickly take me out." It was only after walking a long stretch filled with traps that he reached the room where Piao Changji stored various scriptures.

The room was brimming with all kinds of Magic Artifacts and solemn Buddha statues, followed by scriptures recorded in various different forms.

Stone tablet inscriptions, carved typefaces, scrolls compiled from bamboo slips, writings on silk cloth...

He fiddled down a ring carved with miniature inscriptions from the hand of a meditating statue and tossed it in my direction, "Quick! Take me out, my body... is failing fast..."

"Longting, check the authenticity of the scriptures and then throw him out." I tossed the ring to Yu Longting.

Yu Longting caught the ring, merely rotated it to take a look, and confirmed its authenticity, "The scriptures are real, but... there’s no need to save this bastard spirit, dead and done with."

Before I could speak, a murky liquid flowed out of Piao Changji’s ears.

Upon inspection, it turned out to be a yellow-white substance, seeming to be brain matter.

My heart seized, and I took two steps back in shock, "Yu Longting, is his... brain starting to melt?"

"Save me... you all... renegers... so despicable..." The brain matter flowing from both of Piao Changji’s ears was at least two and a half pounds.

The floor was covered with it, its stench overwhelmingly pungent and nauseating.

For a moment, my stomach churned, and I started dry heaving.

Yu Longting pinched my acupoint to stop the nausea, "I’ll take you out."

"Wait a moment, no rush." Dizzy with nausea, bitter-tasting mouth, I firmly held onto Yu Longting, not letting him leave immediately.

Yu Longting raised an eyebrow, "You have another matter?"

"Since he’s already dead, dig out the inner core, don’t waste it." I looked up at Yu Longting, slightly excited.

Yu Longting raised an eyebrow, found a Magic Artifact resembling a dagger in the room, and cut open Piao Changji’s belly to find the inner core, "Your Orthodox Sect personality, since when did you learn to seize opportunities like this?"

"Who says I’m orthodox?? I’ve always been growing sneakily, when there’s a corpse, how can one refrain from looting? Earlier I entered Granny Wu’s warehouse, materials for Cultivation Spiritual Garments were already scarce, and the threads seem to be made from monster inner cores. If there were no Cultivation Spiritual Garments, in the future if you or Rongling got injured... what would happen?" I stated confidently, earnestly.

Absolutely shameless about digging out someone’s inner core~

Yu Longting listened to my words, showing an expression of admiration, and reaching out to pull out the Soft-shelled Turtle Spirit’s demon core, "Dear, this thousand-year-old bastard... might not be dead..."

"Not dead? Then what is this corpse on the ground? An illusion of ours?" I thought Yu Longting was joking with me, and did not ponder deeply.

But Yu Longting, with an amused squint, showed me the demon core, "This Soft-shelled Turtle Spirit is of earth attribute, yet inside it has a fire pill, what do you think is going on?"

"He is naturally gifted, a fire-earth dual cultivator!" I snapped my fingers, answering.

Yu Longting tossed the dagger to me, "Then dig around his corpse a bit more."

"Sure, after all it’s a thousand-year-old inner core, missing it would be such a waste." Following his words, I dug around looking for the inner core on the Soft-shelled Turtle Spirit.

After searching inside and out, not only did I find nothing, I also made myself nauseated, "Wow, this is repulsive, I feel like a freak dissecting bodies."

"Ha~" Yu Longting chuckled lightly, lifted me straight up and headed outside, "Dear, you really are adorably foolish."
