My Demon Husband Is a Snake

Yu Longting's eyes were veined with red, as he restrained extreme, beast-like emotions deep within his pupils.

My heart constricted in an instant, and I buried my head in his embrace, even placing his arms around my waist as if that wasn't enough, "I'm so important to you, so shouldn't you hold me tighter, not let go easily, and stop getting angry with me? I realize my mistake."

"Su Wan, I'm the one who made the mistake. What right do I have to be angry with you? I almost killed you." Yu Longting suddenly held me very tight, his body shaking as if I might disappear from his arms at any second, "If it goes on like this, you only have three years of yang life span left. Please, Wanwan, accept my Life Lamp."

"Yu Longting, there are many ways to restore my health. I can take the Elixirs cultivated by the Lin Family, I can strengthen my cultivation, but if you give me your Life Lamp, it's your entire Life Lamp. The consequences are irreversible."

My heart settled in despair as I came to understand the situation more clearly, whispering softly, "If... it was deliberate that you left the treasury open to let the Ginseng escape, to make you feel guilty, I forgive you. You didn't expect it, right? That Little Demon would run off with the Elixir you cultivated..."

Although I don't know his purpose, Yu Longting, this scheming Black Snake, always had meticulous and profound reasons for his actions.

"Wanwan, Wanwan, my Wanwan, you're too clever." Yu Longting sighed deeply, his body slowly transforming into a snake, entwining me into his coils, and kissed me deeply, "I found out that the old man's death in the Serpent Domain was not simple. There has been continuous heavy rain in the southwest, and that Ginseng... revered the old man, always wanting him to consume it..."

Now Yu Longting no longer treated me as an outsider, even when he wasn't injured.

If he was especially fond of me, he would also transform into his snake form to get close to me.

He exposed his sensitive, adorable side in front of me.

I too enjoyed Yu Longting's trust; it felt like he was being spoiled with me, "So, you knew that once the Ginseng had a chance, it would flee the Snake Cave and run to Barbarian Village to find your father? I see, the Ginseng's escape to Barbarian Village would be known to the Celestial Master Sect and Yellow Immortal in advance, probably also because you... spread the news with snakes, intentionally muddying the waters."

Hearing this, I finally understood Yu Longting's strategy.

This guy's cunning is like a black hole; probably even Zhuge Liang from the Three Kingdoms didn't have his aptitude for intricate plots...

"But I hurt you, I almost lost my wife. If I hadn't been playing these games, you wouldn't have gotten involved in all this trouble looking for the Elixir." Yu Longting was filled with immense regret, his self-reproach evident in his words, "Wife, all I want in this life is you. Your Life Lamp is so weak now, so weak... all because of me."

Having known Yu Longting until now, it was rare to see him so vulnerable and discomposed.

He only became like this when it came to matters concerning me.

My heart ached as I grasped his hand and touched my swelling belly, "Your wife and child are still here; we're not beyond salvation. There's no need to resort to accepting your Life Lamp for protection. If you really feel guilty, you can repay me with your charms, which I will reluctantly accept."

My fingertips reached for the clasps, undoing them one by one.

"Wanwan, stop, I'm still in snake form." Yu Longting's Snake Tail coiled up skillfully, blocking the back of my hand.

Seeing him adhere to principles, and his barely restrained abstinent expression, I took the initiative to kiss his lips, trying to be as seductively scornful as possible while curving my lips into a slight smile, "So, are you intentionally in your snake form to avoid compensating for my emotional distress and my physical injuries?"

"Su Wan, you looked for this yourself. Do you really think I have such strong self-control? Again and again, you tempt me..."

Yu Longting seemed challenged by the curve of my lips, abruptly lifting me up and taking me to the bed, placing me down, his eyes ablaze, as he slapped his hand down on my waist.

All the clasps on the cheongsam popped open with a "snap," and he gripped my chin "ferociously," his strength much gentler than when he had gotten angry before,—"
