My Demon Husband Is a Snake Chapter 1141: Stuffed with Dog Food and Feeling Unbalanced

"No, don’t kill me, I promise not to retaliate against you and Madam." The sickly man frantically tried to touch the talisman on his neck, wanting to take it off.
But it was too late; even though the talisman was drenched in the pouring rain, the fire ignited naturally.
The bright flames consumed the corpse qi and the lifeless creature, reducing them to a pile of white ash.
The rain was exceedingly heavy, and this alley was indeed a notorious place for illicit trade. Locals frequented this area, and outsiders found it difficult to access.
Witnessing the scene, the few passersby were terrified, yet none dared to react or interfere.
Yu Longting exuded an air of arrogance, as if he were capable of killing without a second thought.
He paid no mind to the rain-soaked ashes, particularly when it concerned my affairs. Straightening my disordered clothes, he inquired, "How did you acquire another Soft-shelled Turtle Spirit inner core?"
With a distinct snap, a snake corpse tumbled from the folds of my skirt.
The snake corpse was permeated with a chilling corpse qi. If it hadn't fallen out at this precise moment, I would have remained unaware of the terrifying suppression of corpse qi I had endured from that mother and son earlier. It's quite possible I might not have survived until Yu Longting's return.
"Take a guess," I responded, my heart stirred, and I shamelessly nestled into Yu Longting’s embrace.
Snake Brother has always been incredibly good to me. He protected me throughout my entire life, all because I accidentally pushed him over when I was young.
Yu Longting smiled, posing a question, "Could it be that this unlucky fellow sent avatars to bother you again and they were eliminated?"
"It doesn’t matter if he bothers me; I’m not his match by any means. Although his cultivation is only average, he possesses many tools that I don’t recognize, which aid him." I spoke truthfully; the techniques Piao Changji employed in the cave were beyond my ability to counter. Piao Changji simply had terrible luck. "But he encountered Dragon Dad. Piao Changji attempted to manipulate the Corpse Sturgeon to swallow me and Grandma. Then Dragon Dad appeared, seized the Corpse Sturgeon, and pulverized Piao Changji into pulp."
"No wonder Piao Changji harbors such intense hatred for you, even going so far as to instigate Yin Corpses to forcibly marry you. It appears he is also projecting his grudge against Yu Qingxiao onto you. Wanwan, was... was my dad truly that heroic?" Yu Longting’s voice faltered slightly.
Hearing his words, my heart ached. I embraced his waist tightly, saying, "Thank you. Since meeting you, I’ve gained two more family members like this. Dragon Dad is indeed heroic, but because he is your father, we have become connected."
"Heh~" Yu Longting was finally amused by my words. Then, with a hint of gloom, he asked, "Haven’t you ever considered blaming me? Because of me, you’ve been thrust into so many perilous situations."
"No, my life was inherently quite unlucky. I might have met an early demise, for all I know. It was your appearance that truly saved me," I replied, shaking my head vigorously. My palm rhythmically stroked the length of Yu Longting’s spine.
Suddenly, Qing Li’s resigned voice reached my ears, sharp with a hint of exasperation, "Just how inseparable are you two? I merely stepped out to buy some things, and you’re already embracing each other??"
"Grandma," I exclaimed, my face flushing as I attempted to extricate myself from Yu Longting’s embrace.
Yu Longting only tightened his hold, murmuring, "Ignore her; she’s had too much of this 'dog food' and is feeling unbalanced."
"Are you blind? Yu Longting, the items have been purchased. Hurry up and help me carry them, or would you prefer I do it myself?" Qing Li glared at Yu Longting, her annoyance evident.
"I *have* been blind for a long time now, relying on ordinary snake eyes. My vision is nearly gone, don't you know that?"
Yu Longting finally loosened his grip on me and reached for the two large black plastic bags Qing Li was carrying. "These things… why are they so heavy?"
My heart constricted slightly as I looked up at Yu Longting.
In truth, I had been worried about the condition of his eyes for some time, but I never dared to inquire for fear of sparking family discord. Yu Longting likely preferred to leave the matter unaddressed, just as I have.
Then, I exhaled deeply, attempting to quell the rising frustration and resentment within me.
"Two urns for deceased bodies, some ink lines and ink line stakes, along with black dog blood, chicken blood, and cinnabar..." Qing Li took my hand, holding it like a dear friend, calmly listing the items as if she were reciting a grocery list.
