My Demon Husband Is a Snake Chapter 1151: Actually, the Little Snake Lord Is My Son
Previously on My Demon Husband Is a Snake...
Liu Hongluan, bewildered, assumed I was the culprit. "Su Wan, what have you done to me? Why... is my whole body limp... unable to move..."
"My, Lady of the Snake Lord, what a masterful technique! You must have incapacitated this traitor with just a thought!" Liu Liuliu exclaimed, a mix of excitement and awe in her voice.
The surrounding snakes gazed at me with adoring eyes as applause erupted.
I was utterly confused. "??"
Did these snakes have impaired vision? Hadn't they witnessed Dumpling incapacitate Liu Hongluan with a mere glance?
Her sudden powerlessness was undeniably Dumpling’s doing!
Though I couldn't fathom Dumpling’s method, a single look from her had rendered Liu Hongluan completely unable to fight.
My precious Dumpling is truly incredible, a worthy child for us!
"Su Wan, you wretch, you shameless woman," Liu Hongluan seethed, her rigid body trembling, though her voice remained strong. "You promised to spare me, yet you deliberately set a trap! You go back on your word, you despicable person, unfit to be the Lady of the Snake Lord."
"Constantly repeating the same insults, my ears are growing calluses. You claim I’m unfit, but are you?" I asked, nonchalantly cleaning my ear, unfazed by the curses of the defeated. "Always going on about fitness, do you think you’re some kind of lock and key expert?"
"Su Wan, you..." Liu Hongluan spat out a mouthful of Snake Blood in her fury. Suddenly, her snake abdomen constricted in pain, and she writhed on the ground. "If you have the guts, just kill me! I swear I won’t let you go, even as a ghost."
"Dumpling, watch closely, Mama will show you just once," I announced, pulling a fire talisman recently crafted by Yu Longting from my bag. I spoke to Dumpling nestled in my arms.
Dumpling looked up at me and nodded obediently.
Her serious expression seemed to convey, ‘Mama, I will learn diligently.’
Narrowing my eyes, I tossed the fire talisman. "Summon the Five Fire God Generals! Let your fiery blaze illuminate all, for protection and safety! Bind spirits and subdue evil! Life and death dictated by the Heavenly Dao, swift as by law!"
The fire talisman ignited spontaneously, and from it emerged a winged Fire Phoenix.
It descended upon Liu Hongluan’s snake form, engulfing her in an inferno.
The Red Snake let out a heart-wrenching scream, her form gradually diminishing within the blazing flames.
"Wow, sister-in-law, that’s incredible! Such a magnificent phoenix!" Lin Xintang exclaimed, cradling her injured neck, her eyes reflecting the radiant fire phoenix with pure longing.
Qing Li had already reached his daughter’s side, pulling her small form into his embrace. A flicker of coldness crossed his eyes. "Wanwan, this Red Python committed countless evils, yet it feels like a pity to kill her."
"You don’t intend to keep her, do you?" I inquired, glancing at Liu Hongluan, who was merely clinging to life, scorched by the heavenly fire.
In mere moments, she would be reduced to ashes.
Even if Qing Li and I had decided against killing her for the moment, it would already be too late to halt the flames' destructive path.
A strand of Spider Silk shot from Qing Li’s fingertip, skillfully forming a red cocoon around Liu Hongluan’s shrunken, palm-sized snake body, as if to protect her.
Liu Hongluan had suffered a significant setback in her cultivation, yet after my departure, she had somehow regained her Red Python form.
She had even managed to escape from prison and abduct Xiao Xin Tang.
She was a catastrophic entity, yet Qing Li sought to shield her...
Even by his standards, the excuse of keeping her for torture seemed particularly contrived.
"Even if she turns to ashes, she cannot repay the humiliation I endured on the attic by the Vine Demon," Qing Li stated deliberately. "I wish to keep her by my side as a servant."
"Dragon Queen, if you take me with you, you won't regret it! I can swear! I only did those things to you back then because I was unaware of your true identity!" Liu Hongluan pleaded, clinging desperately to Qing Li’s leg. "Did you see? Lord Little Snake’s scale color is identical to mine! In truth, Lord Little Snake is my son, but that wretch Su Wan stole him and hid him within her own belly!"
