My Demon Husband Is a Snake Chapter 1201: Piano Among the Graves
Previously on My Demon Husband Is a Snake...
"Wanwan, it’s just corpse poison, I can endure it." Yu Longting was reluctant to give up the clues in front of him for the sake of his eyes.
I pulled him closer, feeling heavy inside, "Do you... know something? Are you lying to me to reduce my worry?"
"Wife, I’m not lying." Yu Longting said resolutely.
I said, "If you lie, may our family fall apart."
"Alright, I admit it." Yu Longting furrowed his brows. His mouth, hard as a dead duck, softened immediately, "I think the only reason they appeared here is that Su Qiang has become a demon."
In less than half a minute, I brought Yu Longting back to the bedroom in the small building.
I bowed my head to examine his eyes bleeding black blood, smelling a stench, "Keep talking."
If it weren’t for Yu Longting’s reminder today, I almost forgot that I still have such a cousin in this world.
"I’ve heard that when mortals turn into demons, they can achieve a golden body by devouring the innards of their closest relatives." Yu Longting smirked, pinching my waist and pulling me onto his long legs.
Though we’re an old married couple, the sudden fall into his arms left my heart skipping a beat, only to quickly wake from the romantic moment due to the harsh reality, "Su Qiang wants to become an immortal?"
I once encountered that soulless demon spawn, which was actually Dumpling’s body in his previous life.
Even without a soul, he never thought of eating me.
If he ate me, he could attain the golden body.
But if he had done such a thing, I would have known earlier that demons grow in such sinister ways.
"An immortal-bodied demon retains sanity and can be incredibly powerful." Yu Longting, now completely blind with unfocused pupils, said, "Regretting the impulsive actions just now? You care for me alone but might harm many others."
"I will find Su Xiaomin and my aunt; you stay home and switch your eyes. Trust me." Ever since leaving the Nether Pond, my mindset has darkened.
I care even more about Yu Longting’s life, and would choose any means to protect him.
Suddenly, Yu Longting groaned, his arms spasming and holding me tightly.
The man who could remain calm even in the most extreme pain now couldn’t bear it, trembling and softly moaning, "Wanwan... eye exchange... I’ll be blind for three days... and unable to use spiritual power due to the pain..."
"Snake Brother, if I could, I really wish..." I pinched Yu Longting’s chin and gave him a light kiss on the lips, "to return the eyes to you, even if we share one each, but now... there’s more important matters to attend to."
"I understand." Yu Longting seemed to find some relief, with pain draining his strength, fully leaning against me, "I’ll wait for your return home."
Without saying anything, I gently laid him on the bed.
The spider silk-wrapped twin infants in his arms were placed beside the pillow.
Suddenly, several black snakes slithered out of his sleeve, their long, slender bodies wrapping around the area where Yu Longting’s eyes were.
The densely packed cocoon larvae would terrify many,
but I knew they were sacrificing themselves to save their Snake Lord.
I found the kin-seeking clothes in the wardrobe, draped them over my shoulders, and quickly left the small building.
In special times, the pain brought by the kin-seeking clothes’ blood-sucking,
could be suppressed by sheer willpower, especially since I am now much stronger than the immature person I used to be.
Following the guidance of the kin-seeking clothes, I walked eastward, reaching the outskirts’ mass burial mound.
Wondering how Su Xiaomin and the aunt could move so quickly, or if they were forcibly brought here by Su Qiang.
Yet Su Qiang was once just an ordinary girl, what capital does she have to become a demon?
As I reflected on Yu Longting’s earlier words and began to harbor doubts, piano sounds emerged from the house where Immortal Liu and Liu Hongluan used to live.
