My Demon Husband Is a Snake Chapter 1108: Just to Clarify, He’s Not My Man

"Mmm, just to clarify, he’s not my man, I was just acting before." To clear up any further misunderstandings with Xiao Li, I confided the truth to her in a hushed tone.

Xiao Li seemed to almost choke on her own saliva, coughing heavily several times. "Cough, cough, cough... But Brother Chen mentioned he's the Snake Lord, and I distinctly heard you address him that way too!"

"Yu Longting’s Primordial Spirit..." I whispered the secret into Xiao Li’s ear. Her usually large eyes widened even further, and her little mouth opened so wide it could have easily fit a goose egg.

Over at the main dining area, the guests were becoming restless, complaining about the prolonged wait for their dishes and urging the staff for faster service.

I diligently got back to work, instructing Xiao Li, "Let’s continue our chat after our shift ends. Otherwise, the guests will grow increasingly impatient."

By the time we managed to finish this round of service, the clock had already passed two in the afternoon.

The three of us finally gathered for a shared meal, during which we discussed the peculiar situation Xiao Li and Beichen had found themselves in within Z City.

It turned out Xiao Li’s mother had taken a photo of her daughter to a matchmaking event without her consent. There, she caught the attention of a university lecturer, a man around forty years old.

This university professor possessed his own house and car, and additionally held a Ph.D. degree.

Xiao Li’s mother viewed this man as an immense blessing and a perfect match for Xiao Li.

Beichen felt a profound sense of shame and even considered giving up at one point.

In Z City, Beichen would quietly linger near Xiao Li’s apartment building, occasionally sneaking in to visit her while she slept.

Later, he discovered that Xiao Li’s potential matchmaking prospect was not only subpar but also displayed violent tendencies.

After intervening and protecting Xiao Li on one occasion, Beichen formally proposed to her family.

The outcome was quite predictable; without revealing his true wealth or educational background, Xiao Li’s family deemed him poor and pathetic.

They outright refused to permit Xiao Li’s marriage to Beichen and instead pressured her into marrying the man from the matchmaking event.

Eventually... the two eloped and fled back to Spring Wind Town...

This sequence of events is precisely why Xiao Li’s parents, accompanied by a group of relatives, came to capture them later.

Reflecting on the convoluted turn of events, perhaps if Beichen had been more forthcoming about his background earlier, significantly less trouble might have ensued.

However, he was naturally reserved, far too introverted to boast or show off.

It was Yu Longting who ultimately stepped forward, persuading Xiao Li’s materialistic family to finally agree to the marriage.

"Since Wuyue realized she was influenced by the Snake Lord’s subconscious, subtly helping to set me and Brother Chen up, do you think she might regret her actions and propose to my family tomorrow?" Xiao Li craned her neck, leaning closer to me with a worried expression.

Beichen, his face etched with solemn concern, added, "Without him, am I unable to propose by myself? My true worry lies with the Snake Lord. The Snake Lord possesses a pure mind and detests the idea of becoming a Possession Immortal, having never possessed anyone before. Suddenly possessing a Human Snake, could he be in danger?"

Undoubtedly, having been influenced by Yu Longting, Beichen understood him all too well.

If not for extremely dire circumstances, when would he ever resort to possessing someone else?

It appears Beichen had discerned the connection between Wuyue and Yu Longting from the very first moment he encountered Wuyue.

He had embarrassed me on the spot, sensing that I was deliberately acting.

The men who surrounded me, yet prompted no concern from Yu Longting’s followers, indeed raised suspicion.

His immediate reaction, in hindsight, was the most accurate judgment.

"Rest assured, the Snake Lord encountered some trouble initially, but it has all been resolved now. He will be back very soon." I had made the firm decision not to burden Beichen and Xiao Li with the details of Yu Longting’s predicament at the Nether Pond.

Knowing the extent of Beichen’s loyalty, he would undoubtedly try to find a way to seek out Yu Longting.

I feared that such an endeavor could be exceptionally perilous...

As for venturing to the Nether Pond to find Yu Longting myself, that burden I would carry alone!

Beichen gazed at me solemnly, perhaps uncertain if he fully believed me, but he nodded slightly. "I am relieved to hear the Snake Lord is alright. If anything arises, please do not hesitate to speak up."

"Alright, Beichen, you must treat Xiao Li exceptionally well in the future. If you ever dare to withdraw again or utter nonsense about being unworthy, I swear I’ll bust your head!" I warned Beichen fiercely, my words carrying the weight of a final message, mentally preparing myself for the possibility of seeking the Nether Pond and not returning.
