My Demon Husband Is a Snake Chapter 1239: Pretending to Be More Than You Are

"What Elder Sheng said is absolutely right," I said with a smile.

No matter what Zhang Sheng’s motives were, at least he ultimately chose to side with me.

In the entirety of the Zhang Family Celestial Master Sect, I would naturally rely heavily on him.

Zhang Sheng’s smile grew even wider. "I see Miss Wan is looking quite radiant, with a purple aura approaching from the east. Could it be... that all three of the Three Corpse Gods have been refined?"

"Yes, it happened unexpectedly during the battle with the Immortal Gu," I replied humbly.

Zhang Sheng circled around me twice. "That’s no small feat. Miss Wan, you’ve only been in the Mystic Sect for two years, right?"

"It was just luck. It would have been the same for someone else," I continued modestly.

All the elders of the Zhang Family stared with eyes so wide they seemed about to pop out of their sockets.

Zhang Shuying touched his chin, smiling slyly at me.

Zhang Jia, on the other hand, looked thoroughly displeased, muttering under his breath, "Hopefully this isn’t just someone trying to puff themselves up."

"Snake Lord... although he’s human." Zhang Sheng then looked at Yu Longting, "But the Dragon Qi is overwhelming. Is he a true dragon now? Or... almost?"

"He just became a dragon, no..." I hadn’t finished speaking.

Yu Rongling suddenly darted into the Zhang Family’s ancestral hall, "Hey, my brother became a dragon long ago, but deliberately regressed to keep a low profile. This time he pretended to be captured to deceive Su Chongwen. Once Su Chongwen let down his guard, he immediately transformed back, restored his golden body, and caught Su Chongwen off guard!"

"Really? Did you notice at that time?" Shenshen’s face was full of shock.

Yu Rongling boasted, "Of course, I’m a genius after all."

"More like a born idiot!" Qing Li warned sharply, "Showing off will get you struck by lightning."

Yu Rongling immediately deflated, "Alright, I’ll be honest. I just analyzed it recently. When we were first captured, I really thought we were dead."

"Haha, even if Second Master Yu figures it out after the fact, it’s better than some people with pig brains who haven’t understood," Zhang Sheng said, adept at switching allegiances, praising both me and Yu Longting, even treating Yu Erhuo as one of his own.

Zhang Jia, in a high position, couldn’t tolerate such mockery, "Who are you calling pig-brained? Once you climb to a high branch, you forget your roots?"

"I’m talking about you, Elder Jia. How could the ancestors’ judgment be wrong? Yet you kept insisting Miss Wan wouldn’t return and even said she married a dead weight, didn’t you?" Zhang Sheng, seeing Zhang Jia stirring trouble, seized the opportunity to retort and expose.

Zhang Shuying whistled, munching on sunflower seeds, ready to watch the two elders clash.

Zhang Che, however, couldn’t allow such a thing to happen, "Now is not the time for infighting. Even though the Immortal Gu has been vanquished, the sub-Gu within human bodies doesn’t seem to have... reacted. Several elders have been poisoned and suppressed for a long time, yet now there’s no response."

Everyone’s expressions grew solemn, clearly fearing the Immortal Gu.

The original Immortal Gu was a Golden Immortal named Lei Duqian.

He turned himself into a Gu Insect, and his cultivation method was not of this world.

He didn’t have to follow this world’s rules; with the Mother Gu dead, the sub-Gu might still cause havoc.

"It seems we have to try a strong solution. Without the Mother Gu, the sub-Gu should be weakened," I suggested to Zhang Che.

Zhang Che nodded, his eyes fixed on me.

It seemed as if he intended for me to join him, as my strength had surpassed his.

It wouldn’t be long before I’d likely have to endure Heaven’s Tribulation.

Yu Longting said to me, "Wife, I’ll go with Zhang Che. You stay home and rest, keeping Dumpling company."

"Shenghui, you go along too. Make sure the sub-Gu doesn’t seize the chance to revive," Qing Li seemed to think Yu Qingxiao understood Lei Duqian’s Gu better, so he was included.
