My Demon Husband Is a Snake

"Thank you, big sister~" the little snake said.

Unexpectedly, a voice of loss suddenly came from within me, "Yitian, little sister, she has made a new friend."

"This boy woke up?" Yu Longting was quite surprised, then smiled again, "Oh, the Demonic Qi is too strong, it has broken through my seal, his future is limitless."

"You, you jerk! If the Demonic Qi gets stronger, he'll speed up the demonization process." I was furious but kept my voice low because there were others present.

Yu Longting casually touched my belly and Little Dumpling was sealed again, "With me here, how could he possibly truly demonize? But this little guy, following me with such strength, this seal won't last long."

"Your son is going to demonize? You're a True Dragon, how could your bloodline succumb to demonization?" Immortal Liu listened with one ear and found it puzzling.

Yu Longting raised an eyebrow, "Weren't we discussing your little whelp? How did it switch to my son?"

"Snake Lord, although Ah Li is only my great-grandson, he carries the blood of me and that person, and is the only descendant of me and that person."

Immortal Liu sighed deeply, "I'll risk this old life of mine to save him."

"Immortal Liu, you wouldn't use someone else's soul to help your great-grandson reincarnate, would you?" I stared at the other half of Yitian's soul, my heart aching dully.

Xiao Yitian finished feeding the little snake the fruit and let the snake climb onto her shoulder.

Not afraid at all.

In this world, the Heavenly Dao demands balance.

Resurrection from death is absolutely impossible, yet if one were to pay a hundredfold, even a thousandfold price, there might be hope.

To resurrect a little snake, it seems one would have to stake countless human lives.

Immortal Liu gave a sorrowful smile, coughed forcefully several times, and breathlessly responded, "Ah Li is too lonely; I just wanted this little girl to keep him company, nothing more."

"You merely detained a person? Yet your Snake Servants captured many, not even willing to spare the one in my sister-in-law's belly."

Yu Rongling scoffed coldly, "My sister-in-law and I ended up here because she was chased here by your Snake Servants, risking both their lives if they hadn't been so lucky."

Immortal Liu glanced at my leather shoes, and at Yu Longting's bare feet, looking thoughtful, "Su Wan, were you really chased by my Snake Servant?"

As earnest as can be, I replied, "Absolutely true, I have no reason to lie to you; your Snake Servants were reaping souls all over Spring Wind Town."

Immortal Liu suddenly became agitated, walking back and forth in front of us, her complexion alternating between black and white, "My Snake Servants would never betray me, unless it's that person, could that person have come back... how could that be, he should have been dead for five hundred years…"

"Immortal Liu, who are you talking about?" Yu Rongling leaned in curiously.

Recalling herself from the confusion, Immortal Liu kicked him away, "None of your business, you overbold Snake Immortal, barely a Transformed Snake Dragon in realm, yet you dare be so rude to me."

"Hey, it's clearly your fault yet you're lashing out like this? Have you forgotten how you begged me to help you maintain the Reincarnation Array?"

Yu Rongling looked at the footprint behind him, shaking with rage nearly about to stomp his feet on the spot, "My sister-in-law was seriously injured, and I healed her, do you still want her help or not?"

"If you want to take this little girl's soul, take it quickly. Those evil Snake Servants weren't sent by me; deal with them however you want, it has nothing to do with me." Immortal Liu collapsed on the ground, her hands clenched into fists, coughing forcefully.

She spat out a mouthful of blood, her form exhausted and turning into a python shape, sluggishly creeping.

I've been working on healing clothes for the Household Spirit lately; I made a few sachets, handkerchiefs as prototypes, now I hung a sachet on the horn on her head, "Sorry for bothering you, we misunderstood you, a great beauty like you couldn't possibly do evil, we'll leave you be."

"Yu Rongling, apologize." Yu Longting said coldly.

Yu Rongling, the only one among us whom Immortal Liu looked down upon and bullied, now angrily forced to apologize, trembling, "Why should I apologize, I did nothing wrong…"

Ultimately, he relented, "Fine, the injured one is always me, Immortal Liu, I was wrong."

Yu Longting's clearly knuckled long fingers gestured, and the girl by the pond floated up, returning to Li Yitian in Yu Rongling's arms.

Only the semi-transparent little snake was left confused, still unaware of what had happened, "Miss, where are you going? Are you leaving Ah Li? Don't leave Ah Li, he's very scared when alone..."
