My Demon Husband Is a Snake Chapter 1107: He Is Not Yu Longting

It was only then that I realized I had forgotten to assist Yu Longting in clarifying the misunderstanding. "You've truly misunderstood him. My Three Corpse God affliction wasn't inflicted by him. Wuyue, thank you for bestowing your precious blood upon me. My condition has since improved, and I am eternally grateful."

"Not caused by him? That's unacceptable!" Wuyue retorted dismissively.

I inquired softly, "Why is that unacceptable?"

"You suffered greatly, yet he offered no healing. He does not truly cherish you," Wuyue replied with evident disdain. His long fingers gently twirled a strand of my hair, a confident and alluring smile gracing his lips. "My princess consort, unless you are utterly foolish, you will inevitably choose me. I possess noble standing and an unwavering devotion to you. That insignificant Snake Servant isn't even worthy to polish my boots."

So, this is what they call a rivalry?

He remains unaware of my true, sinister intentions; if he knew, he'd undoubtedly cast me away with all his might~

A slight twinge of guilt pricked at my conscience~

Should I reveal my authentic self to him?

I must avoid any missteps that could tarnish my reputation as the villain~

For a fleeting moment, I nearly crushed the mug in my hand.

Torn between revealing my murderous intent towards him and remaining silent, I stammered, probing cautiously, "Do... do you truly know... do you know he... he's living inside your body??"

Ultimately, I refrained from confessing my desire to end Wuyue's life.

It would be wiser to await a more opportune moment to confess. A reckless revelation now might just lead to me being slapped to death.

"By sheer coincidence, I've only recently discovered this," Wuyue stated, his eyebrows arching, his demeanor chillingly serene.

I gasped in astonishment, "You know?"

He's aware of the truth and yet remains so composed?

And precisely how did he come to know this?

Was it from our initial encounter in Moonless City, or through some other circumstance?

"While I was in slumber beneath the night sky, the snake revealed to me his passage into Moonless City, thereby reawakening my memories of rebirth."

Wuyue gently touched the area over his heart, seemingly realizing that Yu Longting's Primordial Spirit now resided there. "So, my understanding of this world has all been influenced by him."

Upon hearing this, I discerned that Wuyue harbored no significant animosity towards Yu Longting. To be precise, Yu Longting had shown him favor, and I seized this advantage. "Since you are already aware, there is no need for further explanation. Yu Longting is currently inhabiting your body, and there's no possibility of him curing my Three Corpse God affliction. We cannot expect him to carve open your blood vessels to offer his blood, can we?"

"Incorrect. When one truly loves another, they should spare no effort. Without the courage to offer his own blood for your healing, how can he possibly be worthy of you?" Wuyue yawned languidly and rested his head lightly upon my shoulder. "Su Wan, I am feeling quite sleepy."

Is he... intending to sleep while leaning on me?

How incredibly willful!

"You've lost a considerable amount of blood; it's only natural that you're tired," I replied, lacking the resolve to push him away and remaining still. "I possess a Cultivation Spiritual Garment; you may use it to sleep. This will aid in your body's recovery..."

Wuyue offered no response, having already succumbed to sleep while leaning against me.

His breaths were deep and cool, as tranquil as an infant nestled in its mother's embrace.

Although I remain ignorant of Wuyue's past and his true nature,

I find myself experiencing a pang of guilt, having mistakenly believed he was responsible for Yu Longting's demise.

Despite his extreme weakness, I never once considered offering him the Cultivation Spiritual Garment, instead harboring hopes that his frailty would present an opportunity for me to strike...

Yet, he seemed utterly oblivious to the malevolent intent I harbored.

Lost in thought, I reached out to unzip his back.

I carefully removed his outer garment and gently helped him into the Cultivation Spiritual Garment.

Downstairs, the diner was at its peak midday busyness. As I donned my apron, I noticed a distinct clumsiness in my movements.

Where once I could slip on an apron swiftly, it now took an age to secure the ties around my neck and waist.

Assisting with serving dishes and clearing tables also felt less fluid than before.

It appears I require more practice to regain my former dexterity.

The regular patrons of the diner were delighted to see me again, their conversations overflowing with warmth and laughter.

Engaged in their cheerful banter, I felt a sense of returning to days gone by.

Xiao Li, darting between the kitchen and the dining area in a flurry of activity, only noticed my presence later. "Why are you here alone? Haven't seen your man come down to lend a hand?"
