My Demon Husband Is a Snake Chapter 1146: Dragon Queen

"Stop the idle flattery; if you take a random trinket from the treasure vault, does Wanwan still need to work hard at a job?" Qing Li indignantly vented for me about her own son.

Yu Longting held my ring finger where the Black Snake Ring was hidden, "The key to the vault has always been with her."

"That..." Qing Li was taken aback at the lifelike Black Snake Ring, "You actually gave her your Life Token."

I was dazed along with Qing Li, Yu Longting’s Life Token not only controlled his life and death but could also open his treasure vault.

He likely understood my character and knew he was essentially gifting me the entire vault.

But none of that mattered as much as him being by my side, so he never mentioned that the Black Snake Ring could open the vault.

Accompanying me at work steadfastly, he quietly eased his way into my heart.

In that brief moment of distraction, Yu Longting delivered us inside the sect.

He bowed his head and kissed my brow, softly saying to me, "I need to take the Golden Altar to find Zhao Sihai. Take good care of Mom for me, don’t let her cause trouble."

"Yu! Long! Ting! What do you mean by that? What makes you think I’d cause trouble?" Qing Li protested angrily, placing her hands on her hips.

Yu Longting glanced at Qing Li and said bluntly, "You wouldn’t? Trouble King."

The next moment, Yu Longting vanished without a trace with a Mysterious Step.

"Manage your man; does he have no respect for his elders? Calling his own mother 'Trouble King' really angers me," an enraged Qing Li complained to me, her almond eyes wide open.

I couldn’t help but laugh, "Okay, okay. When he returns, I’ll make him kneel on a washboard."

"Will you really make him kneel on a washboard? Can you bear to? You’d rather give your life diving into the Nether Pond!" Qing Li poked my cheeks with her delicate fingers, lecturing me word by word.

Just then, a passing Snake Sect disciple recognized me and exclaimed, "You... you’re Madam! You’ve returned to the Snake Sect! Everyone, Madam is back."

"Such a joyous occasion! Madam enters the sect, and no one even informed us."

"The Snake Sect is Madam’s home; why would anyone announce entering one’s own home? How stupid."

...

Amidst the commotion, the entire Snake Sect was aware of my return.

Qing Li and I were warmly surrounded by the crowd of snakes back to the Lotus Courtyard; it had been far too long since my last visit.

Everyone missed me, and the courtyard was tightly packed inside and out.

Qing Li was quite amazed at the reverence from the snakes, "Your prestige in the Snake Sect is quite high."

"I haven’t introduced everyone yet; this is my mother-in-law." When I introduced Qing Li, everyone thought she was just a regular elder.

They bowed and greeted her as 'mother-in-law' along with me, making Qing Li’s face turn a bit ashen.

I couldn’t help but laugh, seriously explaining, "She is the Dragon Emperor’s wife, your Snake Lord’s mother, so I call her mother-in-law."

For a moment, all the snakes stiffened as if turned to stone.

They looked at Qing Li in dreamlike shock, seemingly never imagining the Dragon Emperor’s wife might one day appear in the Snake Sect.

"Mom, you’re... you’re here at the Snake Sect!" A soft and sweet voice came from not far away, and a half-human, half-snake girl happily ran over, burying her head in Qing Li’s arms.

Faced with the sweet and enthusiastic little girl, Qing Li hesitated for a moment, her fingers finally coming to rest on Lin Xintang’s head, "You’ve learned to crawl now."

"Grandpa Snake taught me everything. Grandpa Snake, I’ll introduce you." Lin Xintang turned around, giving Chang Hao, who had come with her, a sweet smile, "This is my mom; I’ve told you before, my mom is really beautiful. Now you believe me."

"Your servant pays his respects to the Dragon Queen." Chang Hao knelt excitedly, two lines of tears streaming down."
