My Demon Husband Is a Snake Chapter 1128: Trial Within the Illusion

Suddenly, I found myself amidst a desolate graveyard. The night was oppressively dark, and from the earth, countless decaying corpses began to stir. Hundreds of these reanimated bodies, reeking of soil and decay, lunged towards me. They tore at my flesh, gouging out my eyes. In mere moments, I was inexplicably dismembered.

"It isn't real; none of this is real," I whispered to myself, striving to fortify my Daoist Heart. Still, a more horrifying and surreal spectacle unfolded: though my body was shredded and my eyes were torn out, rendering me blind, I was inexplicably transported to Chen's Restaurant in Spring Wind Town. There, a monstrous corpse-fiend consumed my mother, Xiao Li, the Chen couple, and even Beichen. Throughout this entire ordeal, my spirit was forced to bear witness, the events unfolding with an almost unbearable and terrifying realism, sending shivers deep into my bones.

This must be the trial Yu Longting spoke of, the one I was destined to face. Even though it's all an illusion, the intensity is overwhelming! Perhaps my composure is too great, allowing me to perceive all of this as mere Illusion Realm.

The surrounding menacing and ghastly environment shifted, and I beheld a woman with a fox's tail approaching my father, radiating an alluring charm. Her bushy tail swayed rhythmically as she smiled seductively, licking my father's face with her tongue. "Su Chongwen, your wife is pregnant. Are you truly prepared to offer your daughter as my Cauldron Furnace?"

My father let out a chilling laugh. "You surrendered yourself to me, imparted the secrets of immortality, and granted me rebirth. I seduced the eldest daughter of the Lin family and eloped with her, all under your guidance. And now you question if I am reluctant?"

"After all, she is your own flesh and blood. Do humans not always speak of such matters?" The woman caressed Su Chongwen's chin, drawing him into a passionate kiss. Su Chongwen lifted the woman and carried her towards the bed. "If it's flesh and blood we speak of, we can simply create another. That foolish woman from the Lin family was ensnared with a mere flick of my finger; no challenge at all."

I could not discern whether the scene unfolding before me was a genuine occurrence or a figment of my subconscious, an agonizing torment to my heart. From the very beginning, my existence was never intended. Su Chongwen sought out my mother specifically to create a Cauldron Furnace for the Ancestor of Foxes. He forcefully separated my mother from Zhang Che, irrevocably shattering her life. If not for me, none of this tragedy would have transpired... Indeed, I should not exist...

Overwhelming waves of despair and negativity surged within my chest, and unable to contain them, I violently coughed up a mouthful of blood. "Wanwan, no matter what dreadful scenes you witness, simply imagine me by your side, and all of it becomes falsehoods," Yu Longting's voice echoed in my ear just as I neared my breaking point. My body seemed to find a sudden anchor. "You... how can you manifest within my illusion?" The entity lurking in the depths of the pond, driven solely by destruction for all who dared enter, surely wouldn't be here to offer solace, unless its intentions were malicious.

"I understand. Are you going to dismember me next and then kill Dumpling before my eyes once more?" I inquired cautiously. As if confirming my fears, Dumpling, who had been nestled comfortably in Qing Li's embrace, was suddenly devoured by an enormous Corpse Sturgeon. My heart plummeted at that precise moment, the maelstrom within me intensifying as I cried out in desperation, "Grandma, Dumpling!!"
