My Demon Husband Is a Snake Chapter 1228: Come Out and Do My Bidding

"Of course I wanted to devour those blue and white snake brothers." Su Chongwen’s expression twisted into a grimace. "Keeping that little brat alive is to threaten my good daughter, have her feed me with her heart’s blood every day for forty-nine days, to help me achieve Physical Sanctification."

"Since they were all caught by you, how could you not know where Yu Longting is?" I almost ground my teeth to bits, hugging the shed snakeskin and Dumpling even tighter.

If it weren’t for wanting to quickly find Yu Longting, who was badly injured and blind, I would have already torn Su Chongwen’s body into ten thousand pieces.

Su Chongwen’s expression shifted from ferocious to inexplicably strange. "After I caught those three and brought them back, that damned girl chased me here and kept freezing me!! If you want to ask where those three little bastards went, you should go ask that damned girl."

His bloodshot eyes glared at Shenshen.

"Don’t you talk nonsense. When I caught up to you, you were lying in the coffin and I caught you red-handed!" Shenshen shouted angrily, her little face flushed red with rage.

In that instant, I suddenly grabbed onto a thread of a clue. The one lying wasn’t Shenshen, nor was it Su Chongwen...

There was a third person involved in this matter.

I took half a step back, eyes half narrowed as I looked at Su Chongwen, who was wearing the Rebirth Clothes. "Did you obtain an Immortal Gu?"

"I snatched it from Tianying Village. Yan Bashui even said only you could use it, but aren’t I using it just fine?" The Rebirth Clothes on Su Chongwen’s body glowed faintly as he slowly sat up from the coffin, shaking the ice shards off his body. "Immortal Gu, go, take down Su Wan. She dares be rude to her father; I want her to taste a fate worse than death, then turn into my nourishment. The more painful my sacrifice is before it dies, the more it will nourish me."

My gaze turned icy as I looked at this stranger who was my father by blood.

After a long time, not a single Gu Insect appeared.

Su Chongwen froze for a moment, then shouted a few more times, "Immortal Gu!! Come out, hurry up and come out to do my bidding, you useless bug."

Suddenly, in the middle of his cursing, Su Chongwen threw his head back and collapsed.

He fell back into the Stone Coffin.

Not even three breaths later, he suddenly appeared beside me.

Cold, long fingers clamped tightly around my wrist, and a gloomy voice squeezed out from between his teeth. "You have some skill, huh."

"You’re not Su Chongwen?" I glanced at Su Chongwen and saw golden flames in his eyes; it felt as if even my mind was being drawn into them.

I hurriedly averted my gaze and looked down at Dumpling in my arms. "Is he speaking gu speech?"

Dumpling nodded.

Because I am a Gu Speaker, when I hear insect chirps, what I hear directly is human speech.

Little Dumpling, as an outsider, could help me judge.

A harsh cackling laughter came from Su Chongwen’s mouth. His icy fingers brushed across my cheek. "Such a clever Gu Speaker. I originally... had always, always been waiting for you in Tianying Village. It was this guy who barged into Tianying Village and snatched me away."

"Why would you let him snatch you away?? And even become something he can drive and enslave. You could have resisted completely. Looks like you don’t necessarily need a Gu Speaker to acknowledge a master." I tried to circulate Spiritual Power to resist him, only to find that the Spiritual Power in my body couldn’t be activated at all. My eyes narrowed slightly.

As expected of an Immortal Gu. My power isn’t even on the same level as his; with just a lift of his hand, he suppressed me completely.

If I fought him head-on, I’d suffer. For now, I could only quietly observe the situation and wait for a chance to strike.

"I’m also very surprised that I can actually reside in this guy’s body for over two months before it breaks down. In the past, aside from the body of a Gu Speaker, no matter who it was, as soon as I possessed them they would immediately die a violent death." The Immortal Gu clicked its tongue through Su Chongwen’s body, lowering its head to stare at itself. "It seems he killed a snake demon that was about to become a True Dragon, which brought retribution on him, and he fell seriously ill and died. But it looks like he’d long been prepared—he tied his own corpse together with the roots of a Demon Vine, nourished it until now, and once he put on the Rebirth Clothes, he could even bring out One Percent of Force of my power... tsk tsk~"

"So when you saw Su Chongwen, you just borrowed his body, and he doesn’t even know he’s nothing but your Cauldron Furnace!"

After listening to the Immortal Gu’s account, I immediately deduced his actions. "Hanging Yu Longting and the other two on the city gate to lure me into rescuing them—that was done while you were in control of his consciousness, so Su Chongwen has no memory of it. What exactly is your purpose in doing all this?"
