My Demon Husband Is a Snake

I felt a bit bashful, my toes curling up thankfully, the little fellow I was cradling in my arms had fallen asleep, "A Snake Servant broke in, wanting to steal… steal Dumpling's soul, then it got sliced by Yitian's talisman. When I ran away, I didn't have time to put on my slippers, so I've been… barefooted… sorry…"

Naturally, I'm not one to lie or deceive, but I thought it would be better to exaggerate the seriousness of the matter, so I'd have more justification when I faced Immortal Liu later.

"What are you apologizing for? It's my fault for not protecting you. I'm supposed to be your man, yet I failed to protect you when you were in danger." Yu Longting's eyes were filled with deep self-blame, and he even grabbed my hand to slap his own face.

I immediately regretted lying to Yu Longting that the Snake Servant wanted to steal Dumpling's soul and hurriedly pulled back my hand he was holding, "I'm not hitting you, your skin is too thick, my hand would hurt if I did, let go."

This guy's skin is even thicker than a city wall, his way of showing remorse is utterly insincere!

Yu Longting let go of my hand with a smile that did not quite reach his eyes, and then he turned his anger towards his brother, "Yu Rongling, my charms were plastered all over the inn, how could the Snake Servant still get in?"

Yu Longting's icy gaze swept over to Yu Rongling's face. He took off his own leather shoes and put them on my feet, then stood barefoot on the ground.

Yu Rongling, looking miserable, said, "How would I know that? Your own talisman didn't work, and you're blaming me for it?"

"Fine, let's talk about something else. Your sister-in-law is so timid, after being frightened by the Snake Servant, she didn't even put on her shoes. She wouldn't have come here on her own; aside from you forcing her, I can't think of any other reason." Yu Longting's face was stormy, as if he wanted to tear his brother apart.

Poor Yu Rongling's knees gave in as he knelt down, hugging Yu Longting's legs, "Brother, I did send sister-in-law here, but when sister-in-law was injured, I was the one who healed her. It took two years of my Cultivation to treat her serious injury. At least... I've made amends..."

"You were injured too? Where were you hurt?" Yu Longting held my chin fiercely.

Yu Rongling shouted beside us, "Her injury is healed, now I'm the one at loss, brother, oh brother... BROTHER!! How can you be so biased~"

"Clucking like a hen, are you laying an egg?" Yu Longting gave him a cold glance.

Yu Rongling's facial muscles twitched because of that biting remark...

I really couldn't bear to see Xiao Yuer being tormented by his own brother like this, considering he healed me, I ought to lend a hand.

I cleared my throat and grabbed Yu Longting's hand, touching my knee, "When that Snake Servant was chasing me, I jumped down from the upper floor. To avoid hurting Yitian and Dumpling, I had no choice but to land on my knees to cushion the fall. I called for you at that time but got no response, so eventually, I ran into Yu Er."

"If the meniscus in your knee was damaged, you could become disabled." Yu Longting kissed me fiercely, and my heart almost leaped out of my throat.

Yet, I was kissed so weak all over by him that I couldn't even muster a shred of resistance.

Yu Rongling counted on his fingers, not daring to make a sound, protesting silently with his mouth movements,

I've healed, I've healed!! How could I possibly be disabled!

In my heart, I share the same thoughts as Yu Rongling, but since Yu Longting is making a big deal out of it, I could only cough lightly and explain, "Even if I were to become disabled, what could I do? Should I have let the children get hurt? If you were in my shoes, you would have made the same choice. Hey… what are you doing..."

Without further ado, Yu Longting scooped me up and walked into the small building, "I'm taking you to see Immortal Liu for justice. You Er and I have been working hard for her, yet her servant dares to treat you like this, shouldn't I trouble her about it?"

"Should, definitely should trouble her, I support you." His wild and fierce gaze frightened me into quickly agreeing, clutching tight to the little Yitian in my arms, my face an expression of complicated feelings.

I was hugging a little girl in my arms, and he just picked me up regardless, not even caring about the odd position.

Reaching the entrance of the small building, Yu Longting seemed to realize the strangeness of his hold and glanced back at Yu Rongling, "Hold this little girl for a moment, don't wake her up, she's very attached to my wife."
