My Demon Husband Is a Snake

Chapter 139: Following the Burial Escort



At the sight, I too was startled.

Many fine, tiny cracks had formed on the glass that was almost one with the night.

One more collision, and it would surely be done for.

No sooner had this thought emerged.

Bang!

Our high-speed vehicle was hit hard once again.

A shard of glass was violently hurled out, narrowly missing my turned cheek.

The cold wind blew in through the small broken hole, magnifying Xia Xi's laughter vastly, "Hahaha..."

Xia Xi herself, covered in blood from the impact, her arm looking unnaturally twisted.

It seemed likely it was broken from the collision, yet she didn't show any sign of pain.

With a cold, frenzied laugh on her face, it was a laughter that sent shivers down the spine.

Fortunately, the hole wasn't big; otherwise, I believe Xia Xi could have leaped into the car within minutes and stuffed us all between her teeth as snacks.

"Beichen, can you free one hand?" I felt helpless, my instinct was to save Beichen first.

Beichen held the steering wheel with one hand and stretched out the other to me, "What's up?"

"Don't mind the pain," I said as I poked his finger with an embroidery needle I carried with me.

I quickly drew a Palm Talisman on his palm.

Beichen looked at it and laughed, "I can draw this thing too, but..."

"What is it?" I asked.

His smile grew wider, "Your drawing is more powerful; I've studied the Taoist Arts for many years, yet you have just begun to touch upon the Mysterious Art."

"Su Wan... Su Wan, draw a talisman for me, I'm begging you, I don't want to die, Su Wan..." Ye Jiqing kept calling my name, extending his trembling hand to the front seat.

Behind him was a precipice; Xia Xi laughed maniacally, using her arm to break open the small hole on the window.

Her whole pale arm thrust inside, her ten bluish fingers covered in mortuary spots, like ghastly claws, grabbed Ye Jiqing's collar from behind, "Where will you... run to..."

At this moment, Ye Jiqing's face was filled with despair.

"I can't draw an authentic talisman; this is the shape of an incantation used for embroidery on clothes, give it a try," I said, pricking Ye Jiqing's finger and drawing the incantation on his palm, along with a disclaimer.

In truth, it was excessive; if it didn't work, he was undoubtedly doomed.

That disclaimer didn't seem useful at all.

The moment I finished drawing, Ye Jiqing, taking a huge risk, turned around abruptly.

He pressed his palm with the incantation against Xia Xi's face, who had half her body through the hole into the car, "Get away! Xia Xi! Stop clinging to me, I don't owe you anything, follow me again and I'll have Su Wan obliterate you completely."

With this roar.

Xia Xi screamed and fell off the car.

We were driving too fast, all I could see in the night.

Was the girl's body lying on the ground, and the many cars behind running right over her.

Ye Jiqing gasped, "Is she... is she done for? Won't she follow me anymore?"

"I doubt it's that easy," I said.

Ye Jiqing, gasping for air, "But your talisman is so powerful, and she was hit by the car..."

These words choked in Ye Jiqing's throat, never fully emerging.

Xia Xi caught up again, her icy chill blowing on the nape of Ye Jiqing's neck, that coldness affecting the entire car.

I was completely stiff and cold; even Beichen's hand seemed unable to properly control the steering wheel.

Beichen said, "It's not looking good, that's not its real body, it's very difficult to hurt it with anything."

"That may be true, but if we can't shake it off, we're going to end up dead alongside Ye Jiqing," I said swiftly, motioning to Ye Jiqing, "Pull out a hair and give it to me, now."
