My Demon Husband Is a Snake Chapter 1109: The White Princess
Previously on My Demon Husband Is a Snake...
After finishing a meal, I went to the less crowded alley at the back to make a phone call.
Just as I found my grandfather’s number in the phone book, I saw a person dressed all in white sneaking up.
Not only was this person dressed in white from head to toe, but even the hair, eyebrows, and skin were the extreme paleness of an albino.
There was a faint trace of demon qi on him, along with a light scent of sandalwood.
He looked aged, yet there wasn’t a wrinkle on his face.
He gave me the impression of a sickly pale eunuch, pampered in the palace, curious and cautious about everything outside the palace.
After seeing me, the white person approached and asked, "Miss, does Mr. Wuyue live nearby?"
"He lives upstairs. You are..." I heard his voice pinched and theatrical like he was speaking in opera tones, could he really be a eunuch?
The white person glanced at me and said, "Don’t pry into matters that don’t concern you, or you’ll lose your life."
"Okay." I saw that this person came looking for Wuyue and didn’t have a murderous aura.
Even if he was a monster, he wouldn’t be an evil demon, so I just assumed he was a patron of Wuyue.
The white person nodded in satisfaction and arrogance, and waved towards the chicken coop in the corner, "Her Royal Highness Princess, come over here to me."
Uh... Princess??
Did I hear that wrong??
Are there still princesses these days...
I saw a little girl also dressed in white, chubby and running out from behind the chicken coop.
She ran to the white person’s side and said coquettishly, "Uncle Bai, I’m hungry."
"Didn’t you just eat twenty pounds of pineapples? How are you hungry again? Wait until we’ve seen Mr. Wuyue, and I’ll find you something to eat." The white person watched the chubby little girl clutching her belly, looking distressed.
He took the girl’s hand and walked straight into the back door of Chen’s Restaurant.
Seeing it had nothing to do with me, I dialed my grandfather’s number.
After a brief exchange of greetings, I got straight to the point, "Grandfather, have you ever heard of a place called the Nether Pond?"
"The Nether Pond?" Lin Huan repeated my words, taking a long pause before speaking softly, "In my lifetime, I’ve only heard those three words from one person’s mouth."
"Who?" I asked, following up quickly, my heart rising with anticipation.
Lin Huan spoke slowly, "Long Xiangkui."
"Her?" I questioned back.
Lin Huan recounted slowly, "The eldest lady of the Ten Thousand Poison Hall has a Corpse Gu, origins unknown, which can infect a fetus in the womb. My Lin Family and Tianying Village once faced a generation being wiped out. With this thing, the Ten Thousand Poison Hall was nearly unbeaten at the Miao Border, causing widespread resentment."
"Could the Corpse Gu be related to the Nether Pond?" I thought about Lin Huan mentioning the Ten Thousand Poison Hall as he spoke of the Nether Pond, and I couldn’t help but shudder.
Lin Huan replied gravely, "Yes, later Long Xiangkui came to help us with Gu removal and told us that the Nether Pond is the place where the Underworld originates, and the only living creature in the pond is the Corpse Gu."
"But isn’t the Nether Pond a place where nobody returns alive? How could anyone have brought a Corpse Gu out?" When I encountered Zhao Zheng, she had just been counterattacked by the Corpse Gu, so I still didn’t know her true strength.
But thinking about it, she likely didn’t have the power to come out of the ancient, devouring darkness described in records.
Lin Huan paused for a moment, then said softly, "Who knows how she obtained this hegemonic Corpse Gu. Anyway, that witch surely can’t enter the Nether Pond. If she had the ability to enter the Nether Pond, why would she need such a despicable method like Corpse Gu to kill?"
"Grandfather, do you... know how to enter the Nether Pond?"
