My Demon Husband Is a Snake

I exhausted too much energy yesterday, at the moment my body needs replenishment, "Thank you for the concern, but I still have the strength to eat."

Too lazy to be angry with him, I took the porridge and started drinking it in large gulps.

Ye Jiqing softly instructed, "Drink slowly, no one is competing with you. Wanwan, are you treating me harshly on purpose? I can tell that you care about me a lot, otherwise you wouldn't have risked coming to B City. You still like me, right?"

My back tensed up suddenly, and my porridge-drinking motion stopped.

My body started shaking uncontrollably, and my heart clenched fiercely.

A voice inside me said I couldn't possibly like Ye Jiqing, but what was that heart-racing feeling?

It was as if a part of my body was attached to Ye Jiqing.

What is this strange feeling?

Ye Jiqing became excited and reached out to hold my hand, "Wanwan, your reaction clearly shows that you like me a lot, that you miss me."

"Ye Jiqing, don't make me use force." I grabbed the fruit knife from the bedside, my emotions running high, my chest rising and falling slightly.

The moment our gazes met, it wasn't high school memories that returned.

Instead, an image of a White Snake appeared in my mind.

I was resting my head against the Giant Python...

Ye Jiqing was persistent, confessing to me, "Su Wan, the more you hate me, the more it shows you care about me. Let's start over, I will love only you for the rest of my life and treat only you well. If you hadn't suddenly and inexplicably dropped out, we might have been married by now."

"Ye Jiqing." I couldn't tolerate it any longer.

Ye Jiqing asked, "Does that mean you agree?"

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll go back to Spring Wind Town. You don't want to live anymore, and you don't care about your parents' lives either?" I calmed my spirit, suppressing the chaotic feeling I got whenever I faced him, and looked at Ye Jiqing with cold eyes, "After what happened yesterday, once Xia Xi finds you, she will vent her anger on everyone in this house."

It's strange, just looking into Ye Jiqing's eyes...

In my mind, the image of the White Snake coiled in front of me keeps replaying.

I leaned on the White Snake as if it was a support, giving me a strong sense of security.

Could it be... Ye Jiqing... was a snake in his past life?

No no no, that's not right, that White Snake had horns on its head.

It looked ready to turn into a dragon, how could it be reincarnated as Ye Jiqing...

While I was lost in wild thoughts, Ye Jiqing clenched his fist and apologized, "I'm sorry, Wanwan, I won't talk about it anymore, please don't abandon me."

I was still thinking about the White Snake and didn't respond in time.

Ye Jiqing spoke again, "Su Wan? Say something, what does this intense staring mean?"

"I'm looking at your pupils. The curse has receded, the murkiness in your eyes is gone, which is good." I lied, "Ye Jiqing, you've had a cat before, and you abused it with Xia Xi, right?"

"I did have a cat, but I have never abused any, Wanwan. Don't you know what kind of person I am?" Ye Jiqing asked me.

I thought to myself what kind of person he was none of my business, too lazy to argue about it, "Whether you abused the cat or not, you know in your heart. Was the cat you had bought, adopted, or found?"

"Xia Xi and I found it in a corner next to a nightclub," Ye Jiqing answered.

I sternly told Ye Jiqing, "I'm going to change clothes, call Beichen over, we'll go check out the nightclub area."

To go to the nightclub, Ye Jiqing drove in front while Beichen and I sat in the backseat.

Beichen glanced at me, "Didn't you have good taste back then?"

"Who hasn't encountered a few jerks when they were young?" I replied, a bit embarrassed, sighing as I tried to cover it up.

Beichen rested his head to the side, "I never have."

Me: "..."

Brother, there's no way to continue this conversation.

Worthy of being someone by Yu Longting's side, just as poisonous with words.

It wasn't until later that I found out, this guy was raised by Yu Longting himself.

No wonder there are some traits that are so uniform~

"Hey, why are you helping him now?" Beichen asked me.

I glanced at him, "I'm helping him for my own reasons."

In the rearview mirror, Ye Jiqing furrowed his brows.

Discussing him while he's here must be quite annoying for him, yet since he's relying on us to save his life, he can only seethe in silence.

"What reasons?" Beichen rarely showed curiosity.

I looked at the scenery outside the window, "For those cats, I feel like there are several cat lives involved in this matter."

From the resentful aura on Ye Jiqing, he really owes quite a bit.

I have a premonition that the one who really needs help this time is not Ye Jiqing, but that...

Cat Demon.

"Su Wan, you really are different. In the eyes of many, the lives of animals are inconsequential."

Beichen raised his eyebrows, leaning back with his arms crossed, "No wonder you can see eye to eye with Snake Lord."

"..." I was rendered speechless.

I dare you to talk like this in front of Yu Longting.

Soon, we arrived in front of the nightclub.

Ye Jiqing led us to a cat's nest in a corner of the wall, a nest that had been abandoned for a long time, with not a single cat inside.

"Xia Xi and I found a litter of kittens here. Xia Xi said they were adorable, and we each picked three to raise," Ye Jiqing pointed to the place where the cat's nest was, "Later on, all three that Xia Xi took care of died, and she complained about the kittens being too weak. She asked me for another one, and soon that one died as well. So one by one, my kittens were taken by her, Wanwan, I'm innocent... I really didn't do anything bad."

"You call that not doing anything bad? Raising the kittens here means the mother cat is nearby. You stole her children, don't you have a conscience?" I couldn't hold back and blurted out what was on my mind.

Beichen echoed my sentiments, "It looks like the one after Ye Jiqing is a mother cat that has lost her children. Ye Jiqing, you stole her kittens, and now that there's a problem, the mother cat is seeking vengeance. There's nothing for you to feel wronged about."

Ye Jiqing really felt aggrieved, retorting discontentedly, "I'm being hunted and cursed just because I took six kittens? That's too harsh. If there's really someone abusing and killing cats, it would be Xia Xi's doing."

"There's no talking sense into someone like you. I can't be bothered with you."

Beichen took the Compass from his waist, "Su Wan, the mother cat has definitely left the nest by now, with no idea where she could have gone."

"She must be somewhere nearby. You'll know if you look at the Compass," I said while staring at the Compass in Beichen's hand.

The needle on the Compass was spinning wildly, making it seem like the magnetic field all around the vicinity was in disarray.

"The needle is spinning so fiercely on the Compass, is it broken?" Ye Jiqing got out of the car and, upon seeing the wildly spinning Compass, asked.

A chill came over me as I spoke somewhat nervously, "This is the Compass being influenced by Demon Qi, causing the needle to lose direction."

By rights, a Compass is also known as a magnetic needle.

It should always point to the backside.

Unless the surrounding magnetic field is disturbed by Demon Qi causing it to spin out of control.

"That Cat Demon's true body... is it really hidden inside the nightclub?" Ye Jiqing swallowed dryly, his expression filled with shock.

I nodded gravely, glancing at the nightclub's firmly shut door, "It might require you to step forward, contact the owner, and let us into the nightclub."

"That's easy, I'll just make a call and let them know," Ye Jiqing said.

Immediately, Ye Jiqing made a phone call.

Within five minutes, a person dressed like a waiter appeared.

He went over and opened the electronic door for us, "Do you need me to show you inside?"
