My Demon Husband Is a Snake Chapter 1162: Falling for You Bit by Bit

Part of Yu Longting’s memories had been integrated into Wuyue, and the lingering soul of Yu Longting remained within him, serving as his life support.

I truly felt lacking when compared to your immense knowledge and experience.

"I can't manage it; please draw one for me." My voice carried a hint of jest as I slightly furrowed my brow.

Perhaps taken aback that I, a descendant of the Lin Family, was unaware of how to do so, Wuyue's deep gaze fixed upon me for a moment. He then bit his finger and deftly sketched a charm onto my palm. "Am I good to you? Even though you always treat me so fiercely, I still offer my assistance. After all, you once... declared yourself to be my wife."

The Palm Talisman, drawn with Red Gold Human Snake Blood, was now in my hand. Instantly, my palm felt a searing heat, and a potent energy surged through my meridians. I swiftly formed a Seal with one hand and executed the Hand Seals, chanting, "True Words clear, demons and spirits, quickly return to heart."

The charm, inscribed with golden blood, possessed formidable power. Its dazzling light emanated from my palm, instantly brightening the entire room as it ascended into the air.

The six monsters, who had taken human form within the room, and even Wuyue, suddenly appeared vacant-eyed.

Their pupils were wide and unseeing, resembling puppets devoid of a soul.

It was understandable that the other six monsters were bound by the True Words.

However, the charmed blood was undeniably Wuyue’s; why did he also seem affected by the spell?

At this juncture, I had no capacity for further contemplation.

Word by word, I rephrased the question I had just posed to the Soft-shelled Turtle Spirit, who was disguised as Xiao Li.

The Turtle Spirit no longer attempted evasion or pleaded for mercy. His tone was mechanical as he stated, "Chen Xiaoli was taken in by the proprietor of White Lady Mountain."

"Who is the proprietor of White Lady Mountain? And what is their connection to Piao Changji?" I pressed urgently.

It was evident that the Turtle Spirit's resolve wavered for a moment, his gaze becoming unfocused.

Yet, he was soon subdued by the charm hanging in mid-air, compelled to speak the truth. "I do not know her identity, only that even Lord Piao fears her. Lord Piao initially intended to kill Chen Xiaoli, but because that individual from White Lady Mountain intervened and took her away, Piao Changji... could only restrain his forces."

"Piao Changji anticipated that I would ascend the mountain in search of Xiaoli's whereabouts, but knowing I would certainly fail to find her, he arranged for you to deliberately impersonate her, didn't he?" I perceived Piao Changji's elaborate scheme.

Xiao Li was on White Lady Mountain, and a casual scan of the mountaintop would yield no clue to her location.

Therefore, Piao Changji deliberately had an imposter, who resembled Xiao Li, remain with a farming family to ensnare me.

Fortunately, I exercised caution; otherwise, I would have been framed and met my demise.

The Turtle Spirit nodded repeatedly. "I never imagined you would discern Lord Piao's plot so swiftly."

"How do I reach White Lady Mountain?" I remained uncertain whether the entity sheltering Xiaoli on the mountain was benevolent or malevolent, my heart churning with anxiety.

My sole desire was to locate Xiaoli promptly and ascertain her safety.

The Turtle Spirit readily divulged the location of White Lady Mountain. Just as I prepared to take my first step,

the six monsters suddenly turned rigid, collapsing stiffly onto the ground.

Their forms resembled shattered stone sculptures, disintegrating into countless fragments.

Such a bizarre method of dispatch – who else could it be but Wuyue of the Human Snake Clan, that demon? I immediately fixed a malevolent glare upon Wuyue, demanding, "What are you doing?"

"Eradicating the root," Wuyue replied. His cold, arrogant eyes, for reasons unknown, still held a faint trace of vacancy. Nevertheless, he encircled me with an arm and drew me into his embrace.

Before I could resist, his form blurred into the darkness as he made his way towards White Lady Mountain.

Wuyue's actions felt excessively abrupt to me, leaving me utterly bewildered as to his motives. "Why are you...? Have you been possessed? Or are you feeling unwell? Why are you holding me? I can walk on my own."

"Because I have developed feelings for you and wish to spend more time with you, Su Wan." Wuyue ascended the stone steps of the mountain path under the cover of night. "I actually have no queen. It was only after being hypnotized by the Snake Lord that I subconsciously believed I had a wife, yet I harbor no resentment towards him. It's not gratitude for awakening me or imparting esoteric knowledge, but because..."

Big brother, please cease speaking. Even if these are your heartfelt sentiments, do not voice them to me.

I am a married woman; I cannot allow myself to develop feelings for any other man.

It is better that I do not know than to have you say it!

"Because his series of actions ultimately led me to encounter you and gradually fall in love with you." Wuyue's tone was steeped in melancholy as he gazed at the crescent moon hanging in the night sky, coming to a halt before a Taoist temple.
