My Demon Husband Is a Snake Chapter 1115: Searching for the Entrance
Previously on My Demon Husband Is a Snake...
"Moonless City? What is that?" Yu Qingxiao feigned ignorance, his true intentions unclear.
Qing Li, rolling her eyes at him, lifted my chin. "We've been to Moonless City before. I know the way."
My heart soared with joy. "Wonderful! Take me with you."
"We, as your parents, will go. You, however, will stay and look after my grandson," Qing Li stated gently.
"The more, the merrier. I promise I won't enter the Nether Pond. Please rest assured," I replied with a light, playful smile, attempting to win Qing Li over.
Qing Li, taken aback by my expression, was about to speak.
Suddenly, Wuyue interjected, clearing his throat. "Cough, cough... Are you... planning to go to the Nether Pond? It is the Chaos Origin of the Three Realms and Six Paths. Entering it means there is no return, only death."
"Who gave you permission to speak? I didn't kill you earlier, and now you dare to boast?" Qing Li, still harboring resentment from Wuyue's previous actions, felt her murderous intent surge.
I noticed the severe gash on Wuyue's neck and worried about his ability to survive.
Yu Qingxiao had been excessively cruel, almost severing his neck.
Quickly, I retrieved the Cultivation Spiritual Garment and placed it on Wuyue. "Don't remove this until you've healed. This doesn't concern you, so stay out of it to avoid further trouble," I whispered.
"You think I *want* to interfere?" Wuyue leaned against the wall, his long tail coiling around me, drawing me closer. His downcast eyes held an arrogant, cold smile.
Although I couldn't fathom the source of his confidence.
I pursed my lips. "What do you mean by that?"
"That snake wants me to tell you not to risk going to the Nether Pond," Wuyue stated, crossing his arms. "As for me, as long as Su Wan doesn't go in, I don't care."
"I promise not to enter. Rest assured, I'm only going to Moonless City for a look and to help find the entrance to the Nether Pond." Lately, I had encountered too many deceitful individuals. Now, I had learned to lie unprovoked, falsehoods flowing effortlessly from my lips.
Qing Li approached Wuyue, her arms crossed, scrutinizing him as if a realization had dawned. "That snake? Are you referring to Yu Longting?"
"Who else could it be?" Wuyue reached out, lightly touching the hairpin in my hair. "He sees your every word and action, but can only convey messages through me," he murmured coldly.
Qing Li's face turned a shade of dark green, her lips inadvertently biting down, drawing blood.
Perhaps she regretted the words of concern she had just expressed for Yu Longting?
Now, the secret she had guarded for millennia was exposed to her own son's gaze.
"Su Wan, don't go to Moonless City. That place... is quite dull," Wuyue slid his fingertip from the hairpin, playfully toying with the strands of hair near my ear, his alluring gaze conveying unspoken messages.
"I'll go and be back swiftly. Wuyue, if you dislike Moonless City, you can wait for me here." My intention wasn't to placate Wuyue, but rather to soothe the eerie chill that resided deep within his eyes. Only if Yu Longting believed I had no intention of entering the Nether Pond would he refrain from using Wuyue to stop me. In a strange way, I was beginning to see hints of Yu Longting reflected in Wuyue's eyes, watching us all secretly through another.
Wuyue narrowed his eyes, a smile blooming like peach blossoms. He no longer tried to stop me. "Alright, tomorrow I will ensure your friend's matchmaking is settled. You are free to go."
This guy actually remembered... this matter...
The proud king of the Human Snake Clan could indeed be surprisingly down-to-earth at times.
"Thank you, you are truly kind-hearted, a good king!" I expressed my sincere gratitude to Wuyue, then took Qing Li's hand. Gazing at her with wide, hopeful eyes, I said, "Let's go, let's head to Moonless City to find the entrance~ Hey, Grandma, how do you plan to enter Moonless City? Still through the fallen mountain at Maple Leaf Town?"
