My Demon Husband Is a Snake

"Being able to block you for ten seconds is still blocking," Granny Wu removed her outer robe.

That robe looked dusty and worn at first glance.

Only after she took it off did one realize the immensity within; the interior was inscribed with many profound incantations.

The young man flicked his sleeve, sending a blue gust of slicing wind like knives towards her.

Granny Wu spread open her robe, effectively dissipating the blade's edge.

The young man's eyes narrowed slightly, his golden sword naturally unsheathed from his waist and slashed towards Granny Wu, "Just you, ten seconds?"

Wu Zhenglin cursed out loud, "Damn it, I took you for an idol, how dare you hurt my granny."

"No...!! Stop the car, Granny Wu is in danger!" I watched from inside the car, my heart racing as if it would leap out of my chest.

At the same time, Granny Wu's body flew out like a kite with its string cut.

Although the sword seemed to fly by in an instant, Granny Wu's body was covered with countless sword cuts.

It could only be said that the disparity in strength between them was too great; one was a mighty existence standing between heaven and earth, the other but a frail Granny Mi nearing life's end.

Wu Zhenglin's pupils dilated, and the steering wheel twisted sideways.

The car unexpectedly collided with a stele, but after a moment's pause, he chose to reverse, intending to continue driving into the Steles Forest, "The two of us getting out won't save my granny; we'd only be cut down in an instant. That's my granny. It hurts me more to see her injured! It's all because she was saving you that she... "

He resented me so much, yet he was still determined to fulfill Granny Wu's wish, risking his life to save me.

"I'm wearing the Blood Splendor Robe, put it on her, she'll be fine." I was still wearing the Blood Splendor Robe that was initially made for Wei Yao's mother.

The Blood Splendor Robe was not like other garments; it could heal any external wound and was likely to be used frequently.

That's why I usually wore it, just in case of emergencies.

Wu Zhenglin drove the car into the Steles Forest, breathing a sigh of relief, and snatched the Blood Splendor Robe from my hand, "You sit tight, I'll take it to Granny. I don't believe that Master Qingyang, a person of such high standing, would kill an ordinary man like me."

Instantly, countless colorful snakes emerged from the Steles Forest, guarding the van.

In the sky, a bright full moon appeared, casting a radiant, Qiong Hua glow upon the vast expanse of steles.

The multitude of snakes coiled and raised their heads to greet the moonlight, as if they were welcoming me.

"Su Wan, make sure these snakes don't hurt me; they'll listen to you," Wu Zhenglin reminded me.

I immediately rolled down the window and communicated with the swarm of snakes, asking them not to harm Wu Zhenglin and Granny Wu.

The snakes seemed to understand my words, hissing in response.

Suddenly, a handsome face under the moonlight appeared at the window, giving me a cold smirk, "Long time no see, Su Wan. Did you think the Steles Forest could stop me?"

His voice was as pleasant as the collision of jade, similar in its entrancing power to that of Yu Longting, but this person's voice had an added aggressiveness.

Yu Longting carried an inherent unruliness, whereas this man exuded a constant air of authority, as though he reigned supreme over all.

Every word resonated like a dagger, capable of captivating and piercing the human heart.

"What do you mean by long time no see? Do I know you?" I stared blankly at this being, whom all mortals had to look up to, completely baffled.

What did he mean by that?

"Playing dumb? We're old acquaintances." Master Qingyang's hand reached in in a flash, grabbing my throat, "You managed to kill one Snake Baby and got pregnant again? Even wearing the White Python Cheongsam now, seeking death!"

With a thunderous boom, a torrential downpour suddenly began within the Serpent Domain.

Master Qingyang stood outside, completely dry despite the rain.

The ground snakes bared their teeth, attempting to attack Qingyang to protect me, but any that drew near his Qi Force were pulverized into a bloody mess.

What kind of existence had I provoked...

He seemed capable of cataclysmic power with the slightest gesture, yet he was here to kill a pregnant woman, a weak and defenseless lady.

As if numbed, I felt almost no pain in my strangled neck, only a sense of hypoxia, a heaviness in my head and lightness in my feet, bloodshot eyes straining in discomfort, and a fiery burning in my lungs...

My vision gradually blurred, and my mind struggled to replay the words this person had spoken.

Had Yu Longting once lost a child...
