My Demon Husband Is a Snake

"Yes," said Bai Zanhe, who was somewhat shy, even though the two of us had become more familiar with each other.

But since we hadn't known each other for very long, she maintained a cautious distance from me.

I turned around, deliberately facing her, "Sister Zanhe, are you hungry?"

"Are you hungry? If you are, don't worry about me, go eat something, I... I really can't eat anything." Bai Zanhe said.

At that moment, how could Bai Zanhe have an appetite?

I had asked on purpose; she might not be hungry, but that didn't mean the Yellow Skin planted in her wasn't.

So, I shook my head, "I ate too much at lunch and can't eat anything else. If you're hungry, get up and eat some sticky bean bags."

Upon hearing the words sticky bean bags,

a flash of red light suddenly streaked through Bai Zanhe's clear eyes.

Feeling the gaze of the Yellow Skin, as hungry as a starving ghost reincarnated, I hooked the corner of my mouth, contentedly closing my eyes.

Although Bai Zanhe was not sleepy, she had been tormented quite a bit these past few days.

Finally managing to temporarily rid herself of the Yellow Skin's possession, she tossed and turned in bed until she eventually fell asleep.

After she fell asleep, there was no one tossing and turning in the blankets.

With no one to disturb my sleep, I too drifted into a shallow slumber.

"Wanwan... get away quickly... I can't control... myself anymore."

Bai Zanhe's pained voice reached my ears.

I immediately woke up and opened my eyes.

What I saw were two mysterious green lights, like two ghost fires drifting in the night.

This feeling was very much like that of a Fox Immortal. Sometimes, it was hard to tell apart a Fox Immortal from a Yellow Immortal since both belonged to the canine family.

However, Fox Immortals tend to be prouder and more aloof. Even when shameless, they maintain a sense of dignity.

Yellow Skins are just despicable creatures that wiggle into the most corrupt places and are quite flexible in their morality.

With that in mind, it became easier to distinguish between them.

I grabbed Bai Zanhe's hand that was holding the scissors, the ones wrapped with a red string for trimming candle wicks.

I had clearly seen her movement just now; her eyes turning green as she aimed the knife at me.

But she bit her tongue tip, regaining a sliver of clarity, and stabbed her own thigh instead.

Seeing the spot where Bai Zanhe had wounded herself, I frowned tightly, "Calm down, stop your wild thoughts. You'd rather hurt yourself than bear to harm me, how could I leave?"

"But I... pu..." As soon as Bai Zanhe's scissors were wrestled from her hand and tossed under the bed, she spat out a mouthful of blood from struggling too fiercely in her mind and body against the Yellow Skin, "But my... self-control is so poor... sooner or later I will..."

"Look into my eyes, I am here." I pulled out a chopstick and pinched her middle finger.

Bai Zanhe cried out in pain, her gaze flickering, filled with tears, "My eyes with the Yellow Immortal's spell on them... if you look at me, you'll... you'll be bewitched."

"I won't be, Xiao Honghong, recite a passage of the Shurangama Sutra in the Ancient Dian language." I had entered Barbarian Village and come into contact with the Barbarian Villagers, only then did I learn that Ancient Dian revered Buddhism.

Gu Raising had deep roots in the Buddhist family.

Many of the incantations to control gu were derived from Buddhist slang and anecdotes.

Xiao Honghong, being so clever, must know the Shurangama Sutra.

I saw the little creature reluctantly crawl out from under my collar, but the Shurangama Sutra she recited was loud and powerful.

However, to others, it would still sound like Insect Language.

Bai Zanhe's middle finger swelled from the clamp, yet her mind gradually regained consciousness as she recited the Shurangama Sutra, the green hue in the depths of her eyes fading, "This gu is... not your Life-bound Gu..."

"It's my good friend. Although not a Life-bound Gu, it's better than one. I won't force it to be my Life-bound Gu and restrict its own freedom."

I rushed to explain to Bai Zanhe when suddenly, she coughed vigorously a few times and a yellow shadow emerged from her mouth.
