My Demon Husband Is a Snake Chapter 1150: Hell-Bent to the End?
Previously on My Demon Husband Is a Snake...
"Who are you? Why are you choking me in the first place?" Arriving at the Lotus Courtyard, the sight that greeted me was Lin Xintang being squeezed by a large red snake.
The Red Snake sneered, "Who am I? You don't deserve to know! You, a naive bastard, dare to claim kinship with the Snake Lord? You bring shame to the Snake Sect."
"Let me go, I can't breathe," Lin Xintang pleaded, her face turning pale from the lack of oxygen.
Her incubation period had been far too short; merely learning to crawl properly was a significant challenge.
Facing such peril, she was utterly helpless, held captive by the Red Snake with no means to resist.
The snake attendants within the courtyard were thrown into a panic, fearfully urging the Red Snake, "Please release our Third Miss, there are surely better ways to resolve this."
The Red Snake flicked its tongue, its venomous gaze fixed and intense. "Take me down the mountain, grant me my freedom, or I will strangle her this instant!"
"Who is creating such a racket outside, disturbing my slumber?" Qing Li emerged, her frigid gaze assessing the captive Lin Xintang.
I clutched Dumpling and moved to Qing Li's side. "Xintang is being held by Liu Hongluan. Liu Hongluan likely seeks only to evade punishment."
"How is this one... still alive?" Qing Li seemed to recall the humiliation of being controlled by the Vine Demon, a murderous aura momentarily clouding her usually composed face.
Chang Hao, aware of some of the circumstances, nervously stepped forward to explain. "We were instructed to await the Snake Lord's judgment, but the Snake Lord has yet to return."
"Useless! Leaving such a traitor alive into the New Year?" Qing Li, holding the same rank as Chang Hao, showed him no deference and sent him flying with a kick.
Chang Hao stumbled, shakily rising to his feet, and angrily addressed Liu Hongluan. "Monster, must you tread this wicked path? Betraying the Snake Tribe to spy for the Yellow Immortal, even harming the Dragon Queen, and now you dare lay hands on the Third Miss."
"I am not treading any wicked path. I have already offended Qing Li, why should I fear adding her daughter to the list?" Liu Hongluan, cornered, decided to go all out. "It seems this brat's life is of little value to you, otherwise, you would have released me much sooner!"
"No!" Seeing Liu Hongluan's thick snake tail constrict even tighter, my heart felt as if it would shatter from the immense pressure. "Release her! As the Lady of the Snake Lord, I can promise to let you go."
Little Xintang hasn't even grasped the fundamentals of Cultivation, possessing only some rudimentary half-snake traits; she is merely flesh and blood.
If Liu Hongluan truly intended to kill, Xintang would undoubtedly perish.
Even invoking the Reincarnation Garment might not be enough to save the little girl's life.
Liu Hongluan let out a booming laugh. "Su Wan, you show some sense. Since the Lady of the Snake Lord has spoken, you insignificant gnats had best scurry off."
The surrounding snakes seethed with fury but were compelled to obey my commanding gaze, withdrawing to the sides.
I watched as Liu Hongluan, with unbridled arrogance, carried Xintang away.
The scene unfolding before me was utterly heart-wrenching.
It was strikingly similar to the time Xintang was abducted by Lin Gang.
I couldn't save her then; would history tragically repeat itself?
"Mama." Dumpling stirred, rubbing his eyes, clearly roused by the commotion.
I gently stroked Dumpling's small head. "Dumpling, stay with Grandma for a little while. Mama must go rescue someone now."
Upon hearing the word 'rescue,' Dumpling's expression turned serious.
Then, he noticed Liu Hongluan, who had kidnapped Xintang, suddenly enveloped by a dark, ominous aura.
The dragon scales on his neck spread across his face, instantly covering his entire head and visage in shimmering scales.
His eyes, transforming into a deep emerald green, cast a single glance at Liu Hongluan. This caused Liu Hongluan's serpentine form to weaken drastically, slumping to the ground like a deflated rubber snake.
