My Demon Husband Is a Snake

"I wouldn't dare, not dare, just not quite convinced. When my brother was with you, he was a pure and innocent boy!"

Yu Rongling grumbled discontentedly, but he came over and noticed something wrong with my knee. He started examining it, "Sister-in-law, after you hurt your knee, did you still walk on it? Damn it, it's a good thing you found me. If it's not treated promptly, once my brother makes a move, you could end up disabled."

"Cut the crap, it's giving me a headache. If you're gonna heal it, then hurry up and heal it! Hey, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?" I didn't give Yu Rongling a warm welcome. If it wasn't for having to flee hastily in the middle of my sleep, I would generally be wearing the Blood Splendor Robe.

Who needs to ask Yu Rongling for help?

Yu Rongling released a talisman from his sleeve and chanted an incantation.

My knee stopped hurting.

He massaged my kneecap, and feeling that it wasn't a serious issue, he helped me up, "Of course, I saw a lot of snake creatures on the road and wanted to follow them to see what's going on. After all, who would let loose so many Snake Servants in my beloved town?"

"You're tracking these snake... servants?" I finally realized that the snake-faced humanoid things were Snake Servants.

They must be servants of the Snake Immortal, lower-level snake demons. "You better keep following them. They seemed to have captured another person just now."

"You think I'll just go because you tell me to?"

Yu Rongling crossed his arms and said haughtily, "It's so boring to catch them alone. I'll only go if you come with me."

"But my knee..." I walked a few steps holding Xiao Yitian, finding that my knee seemed completely healed, but still hesitated, "I have a child with me, what if there's danger?"

"No way I'm doing this. Why should your illegitimate daughter be more noble than I am? I'm not afraid of danger when tracking Snake Servants, but she is afraid of danger?"

Yu Rongling didn't like the little girl and voiced his annoyance.

I glanced at Yitian, considering that if we couldn't find the rest of her soul, she was going to die anyway, so it might be worth taking the risk, "Alright, I'll bring her along. Come on, figure out a way to follow them. They could have run off anywhere by now."

"Leave it to me." Yu Rongling lit an incense stick and, following the trail of green smoke, pulled me along quickly to track them down.

This guy must have come from the same master as Yu Longting, using special Taoist Sect steps.

It felt like we could shrink the ground beneath us, I followed him on.

It only seemed like a few steps, but we'd actually crossed several streets.

Finally, we caught sight of those two Snake Servants again.

A horrifying scene unfolded.

Snake Serpent after Snake Servant appeared from the side alley, their lines suddenly swelling in rank.

The number of people chained behind them was also growing.

I counted, there were four people.

"Sister-in-law, what do you think they're capturing all these sturdy fellows for?" Yu Rongling asked me.

I gave him a look, speechless, "Your... species, isn't it the Cobra? They're clearly capturing children, and yet you call them sturdy fellows."

"Damn, you're such a sly old fox, insulting me for being blind, and you're so cultured about it too. It was just a slip of the tongue," Yu Rongling retorted, puffing up his chest, "Moreover, I'm a Green Python, the same kind as little sister Xiao Qing, not a Cobra. A bona fide national second-class protected animal..."

"Um, aren't Cobras... considered first-class protected animals?" I wasn't trying to offend him, just stating a fact.

Yu Rongling's face split into an awkward expression, and just as he was about to defend himself—

One of the alerted Snake Servants, with the alertness of a hunting dog, hissed out, "Who's talking? Brothers, pay attention. There are people snooping on our conversation nearby."
