My Demon Husband Is a Snake

What's this now?

He doesn't even call me wife anymore, just switched to Su Wan directly.

I complained in dissatisfaction inside my head, then suddenly paused.

Glancing at Yu Longting, whose handsome face was so aggravatingly beautiful it might anger gods and men, why had I become so sensitive?

All Yu Longting did was call my name, and I already felt uncomfortable, craving comfort.

Really… have I been spoiled by… love??!

"Sister Yinman, you must take good care of this handkerchief, I embroidered it with the Su family's life and death embroidery," I quickly pushed aside the random thoughts in my mind, trotted over to Bai Yinman, and personally handed her another handkerchief embroidered with mulberry and catalpa.

Bai Yinman held the handkerchief in her hands, slightly surprised, "Isn't this the one you gave to Congcong? She treasured it so much she even took it with her to be cremated."

"I embroidered two of the same, the mulberry and catalpa represent the longing of the parents and the bond between parents and child," I said to Bai Yinman with a gentle smile.

"Mulberry and catalpa, does this handkerchief represent the bond between me and Congcong? Miss Wan, so this is what you meant by hide-and-seek," Bai Yinman said, cradling the handkerchief, tears brimming in her eyes, rolling down in streams.

Her hand gripping the handkerchief trembled uncontrollably, finally she cried out, "My fate with Congcong... isn't it over yet... Miss Wan... I still have a chance, right?"

"That depends on fate, but I believe, Congcong can be reunited with us," It was my first time making the mulberry and catalpa handkerchief.

The mulberry and catalpa symbolize the two trees planted by the parents, and also denote one's hometown,

A place where the soul originates and yearns to return to when the leaves fall to their roots.

Parents and children each holding a handkerchief, even if separated by life and death, a bond and connection can still form in the unknown.

I nodded firmly, "Right, Sister Yinman, I must leave now, until we meet again."

After bidding farewell to Bai Yinman, I walked towards Yu Longting.

I intended to tell him that my suitcase was still at Yun Hao's, so I needed to make a trip to Yun Hao's suburban villa to retrieve it.

"Don't go, my good disciple, my dear disciple, please don't leave," Suddenly my leg felt heavy, as if ensnared by vines on the ground, impossible to pull free.

Looking down, I was utterly exasperated to find it was the white-bearded old man Zhang Zidao who had knelt and clung to my leg, shamelessly saying, "Su Wan, ever since you became my disciple, I've committed to it for life. You have great talent, and your kindness even transformed a zombie demon—it's clear you are chosen by the Heavenly Dao. If you don't join the Zhang's, the path of the Heavenly Master will be in eternal darkness."

"Eternal darkness my ass, dare to harass my wife, are you looking for death?" Yu Longting kicked fiercely at Zhang Zidao, sending him flying, his eyes deep with warning as he loomed over Zhang Zidao.

Zhang Zidao, unfazed by the kick, popped back up and dusted off the dirt on his shoulder, he sized up Yu Longting, "Are you the Snake Lord? Wait, the snake demon in Su Wan's belly, is that yours?"

"Of course the seed in my wife's belly is mine, whom else did you think it belonged to?"

"You bastard, you got my disciple pregnant… damn it… Su Wan being my disciple is fated, she can wield heavenly fire—it's meant for her to be a Zhang's successor."

"What kind of nonsense logic is that, just because my wife can use heavenly fire, she's yours? Why don't you ascend to heaven? Zhang Zidao, if you want a disciple, pick from your own Zhang family. Don't always covet others, or you'll be beaten to death, understand?" Yu Longting's gaze was colder than the ice shot by an ice archer.

Then he looked down, pinched my chin, and said with a mixture of depression and irritation, "Why does the whole world want to steal my wife from me?"
