My Demon Husband Is a Snake Chapter 1225: Meteorite Copper

"What do you mean?" I paused, asking heavily.

Little Dumpling spat out another mouthful of blood, "Grandpa caught me, Dad, and second uncle, hung us up, just to make you choose one out of three, cough cough cough..."

Oh, my Dumpling, it was already hard for him to speak due to his innate condition.

Now every word seems to cost him dearly.

"Stop talking, Mom has a way; no one will die." I carefully inspected the golden cage - it had holes for hidden weapons, and a signal receiver.

Although I wasn’t a hundred percent sure about seeing through Su Chongwen’s plan.

But I was determined to do everything to protect my family.

I took out the copper badge given to me by Zhang Zidao, blocked the hidden weapon’s firing hole, and first destroyed the signal receiver with a hairpin.

Then I went on to dismantle the cage, immediately pulling Dumpling out of the golden cage, "Look, Dumpling, didn’t Mom just save you? Mom always keeps her promises, my little darling."

"Dad, second uncle!" The little Red Snake trembled with excitement in my arms, childishly begging me to save his second uncle and father.

I wrapped him in a specially prepared small Cultivation Spiritual garment, and, through the garment, patted his small head, "I will keep my word, don’t worry."

"Seems like you were prepared; let me see your badge, it looks familiar to me." Zhang Shuying asked for my badge.

I casually tossed it to him.

He glanced at it, and yelled, "It’s a Ghost Needle; it’s a good thing it hit the meteorite copper, otherwise it would pierce through even hardened steel!"

"Is this copper refined from a Meteorite from beyond the Sky?" Without stopping, I rushed to the foot of the city wall where Yu Rongling was hanging, indeed noticing a needle in the center of the Green Snake’s forehead on the wall.

He lay in the cage, his life or death unknown.

As Zhang Shuying called for a ladder again, he responded, "Yes, typically a meteorite contains iron ore; this one was personally refined by our ancestor when acquired, forged from a Meteorite from beyond the Sky, and serves as a proof of his identity, able to command the entire Mystic Sect."

"I see," I replied absentmindedly.

The ladder had just been set up when I rushed up with the copper badge.

Blocking the hidden weapon hole just like before, I rescued Yu Rongling.

Carrying the twenty-some-pound Great Green Snake in my arms, I jumped off the ladder, tossing the copper badge into Zhang Shuying’s hands, "Be careful not to get pricked by the Ghost Needle; it hasn’t fully embedded into the badge."

Yu Rongling was simply too big; holding both him and the badge made me vulnerable to injury.

"Second uncle, second uncle~" Dumpling called out in a babyish voice to the unconscious Yu Rongling.

I looked at the Ghost Needle on Yu Rongling’s forehead and gritted my teeth to pull it out with my bare hands.

Instantly, a wisp of black energy wrapped around my fingers, yet I couldn’t afford to care. After casting away the Ghost Needle, I draped another Cultivation Spiritual garment over Yu Rongling.

"Take good care of Rongling for me, I’m going to find Yu Longting!" Firmly holding Dumpling in my arms, I sped off to find Yu Longting.

In my heart, Yu Longting was truly the first one I wanted to find.

But deep down, I knew well, Dumpling already died once because of our decisions.

Even if both of us were to face misfortune, he could not be sacrificed again.

And then there’s Rongling, who was truly an innocent victim.

Entangled by my woes...

I had to save Yu Longting last, as I arrived beneath the city.

Seeing the empty cage, alongside fresh blood inside, and some white scales scattered around.

My heart felt as if it was being hollowed out, such discomfort.

"I told you so, Su Chongwen asked for one out of three, and you rescued two; he definitely wouldn’t let you save Yu Longting so easily." Zhang Shuying caught up to me in a hurry, stuffing pills into Rongling’s and Little Dumpling’s mouths to protect their heart vessels, "What do you plan to do now?"
