My Demon Husband Is a Snake

I touched my slightly bulging stomach, also hesitant to climb high, "Then I'll have to stay down here, you make it quick."

"Leaving you down here is also very dangerous." Beichen showed a hint of a devastated expression, pinching the bridge of his nose.

He glanced at Ye Jiqing, who was completely useless at that moment, probably realizing that there was no other choice with the urgency of the situation.

He took all the protective charms, the protective jade pendant, and the like off his body and said to me, "Wear all of these, the compass has the Thirty-Six Trigrams of Fuxi, it can protect you too, and it might just save you in a critical moment."

"Got it, don't worry, if you're fast enough, we may not even need these." While I was comforting Ye Jiqing, I moved the piano and cabinets to stack them higher.

Beichen was even more anxious than I was, "Don't hurt your back, be careful."

"Don't worry, Dumpling is very well-behaved and will protect me too, I won't get hurt with him here." I touched my belly, just to put Beichen at ease.

However, I didn't expect to hear a child's immature yet haughty voice, "I will definitely protect Mommy well."

"You child, I was just joking with Beichen, who would bear to let you protect me." My expression immediately softened a great deal.

The storeroom was filled with all sorts of junk, making it relatively easy to stack a path to a climbable height.

Amidst the noise of the massive storeroom door being struck, Beichen's figure agilely climbed upwards.

The switch for the skylight was easy to find, and with a press, sunlight poured in.

I quickly took off my coat, revealing the Thunder Summoning Garment I had prepared underneath, and recited the incantation for summoning thunder from the notebook,

"I beseech The Three Pure Ones of the three realms, Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad, the Five Stars and Twenty-Eight Constellations, may a thousand calls be heeded, may ten thousand calls bring forth spirits."

After the incantation, the sky suddenly became overcast with dark clouds.

They obscured the scorching sun overhead, and a fierce wind began to blow on its own.

I squinted at the dust-laden, old stage, circling around the entire stage step by step.

White bolts of lightning fell from the sky, then into my palm.

I felt an intense burning heat in my palm, and with a light toss.

The lightning was released according to my will, turning into thousands of electric currents, striking down upon the entire stage.

In an instant, countless dark auras emerged from the stage, accompanied by mournful and horrifying cries, and seven or eight black figures floated out.

I found all these figures unfamiliar, except for one girl who looked remarkably like Xia Xi.

But she flashed by so quickly that I didn't get a clear look.

The warehouse door had already been smashed open, and even the two-meter-tall heavy cabinet was knocked over onto the floor, accidentally crushing Ye Jiqing's leg.

He furrowed his brow, holding his leg and crying out in pain.

But Xia Xi just stood at the doorway, as still as a piece of wood, motionless.

In her unfocused eyes was full of sorrowful hues, "They killed my child, I hate them so much, why is heaven so unfair..."

From below the charred and blasted-open round stage, I picked up a fluffy, soft, and gentle black cat, and walked up to Xia Xi. "I know, you're a victim, Xia Xi is already dead, Ye Jiqing is just an accomplice, his leg is broken too, and his body has suffered a curse, it'll take a long time to recover. They have all received their retribution."

"You... are also a mother, you too are a mother..." Her bloodshot eyes fixed on my stomach, her face full of grief, "You must understand the pain of losing a child the most, all six of my children died, even if my anger at Ye Jiqing is completely unreasonable, what of it? Those two dogs, male and female, are dead, my children won't come back to life! I want them to die unburied."
