My Demon Husband Is a Snake

"Damn it, I'm out there risking my life, and you're at home keeping company with an outsider you've barely met? How come I feel like I'm growing grass on my head, Su Wan, you're going to make me a cuckold." Not only did Yu Longting fail to be appeased, but his expression grew darker by the minute, with a violent aura enveloping him.

With so many pairs of eyes on me, I felt an awkward urge to crawl into a hole. Blushing, I looked around and said, "You must be mistaken, Zanhe is a girl, cut it out, we can't have more deaths in the village."

"I was negligent before, never thought I needed to guard against a woman. You can keep her company, but no close contact," Yu Longting warned with a dark face, then asserted his ownership by tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear and deeply kissing my lips.

Then he called two Taoists to leave with him.

That left me with a numb lip and a sudden, burning blush on my face.

Bai Zanhe said in a low voice, "Su Wan, it feels like your man really dislikes me."

"Don't mind him, he can dislike whoever he wants, you and I have been through tough times together at the Corpse-Driving Inn." I came to my senses and gave Bai Zanhe a bright smile.

Zanhe nodded, "Mm."

"Village Chief, let Bai Zanhe stay at my place tonight."

I went to discuss with the Village Chief and arranged for Bai Zanhe to stay at my place temporarily.

I also asked him to prepare a pair of red chopsticks, as well as chestnuts and other ingredients, and a steamer.

I told Bai Zanhe that we would make Sticky Bean Bags together in the evening.

Sticky Bean Bags are a northern snack. Bai Zanhe had never made them before and followed my lead to learn.

While teaching her, I finally had the chance to ask how she was ambushed by the Yellow Skins, "Being implanted by a monster is completely different from possession. After implantation, it's very difficult to get rid of and you slowly become a puppet. How exactly did the Yellow Skin get into your body?"

"There were so many of them, and they knew Demon Art. I was simply powerless to resist at the time," Bai Zanhe said, sounding sorrowful as she recounted her ordeal.

After a long pause, she heavily recounted the events.

Actually, not long after she parted ways with us, she was surrounded by a group of Yellow Skins on her way back to town.

Bai Zanhe was just an ordinary Miao Doctor, having already been through a lot and exhausted.

How could she stand a chance against those weasels?

In the end, she was subdued and forced to drink a bowl of medicine.

Then, a terrifying lump of flesh grew out from the back of her neck.

The lump spoke, compelling her to return to Barbarian Village.

Otherwise, it would take direct control of Bai Zanhe's body, acting on her behalf.

Bai Zanhe's body was occupied by livestock, her soul and body mismatched, causing her such agony she wished she were dead. Semi-controlled and semi-forced, she came to Barbarian Village.

"Alright, let's stop talking about these unhappy things, let's get the Sticky Bean Bags on the steamer."

I placed the Sticky Bean Bags we had prepared into the steamer, "Let's get some sleep, and when we wake up, they'll be ready to eat."

"Okay." Bai Zanhe was really tired and yawned.

I went to prepare the bed and, seeing it covered with dried fruits, felt embarrassed, "Ah, sorry about this... the villagers are too enthusiastic, just randomly prepared stuff, I forgot to clean it up."

"I'll help you clean it up."

Bai Zanhe came to help me clean up the dried fruits, "Is your man a dragon or a snake?"

"He's... a dragon. Those Yellow Skins got it wrong, that's why they call him Snake Lord." Even in front of Bai Zanhe, I couldn't casually reveal Yu Longting's true identity, in order not to mess up his arrangements in Barbarian Village.

Bai Zanhe nodded, somewhat understanding, "So the one in your belly... is also a dragon? No wonder it can speak before it's even born. The first time I heard it, I thought I had seen a ghost and nearly scared my soul away."

"All cleaned up, let's lie down and sleep. If you feel uncomfortable at any point, you must tell me right away."

Once the bed was ready, I arranged for Bai Zanhe to lie down, then lay down beside her, pulling the blanket over us both.
