My Demon Husband Is a Snake

"Are you the Elder Master of the Lin Family?"

Listening to that rustling, sneaky singing tone.

I immediately pulled Bai Zanhe, who was scared and shivering, behind me, "Yes, are you the Yellow Immortal? No, it's you guys. To come with eight of you just for a minor character like me."

"Impressive, you could guess our number just by the Demon Qi through the door." The Yellow Skins outside flattered and knocked on the door, making a grating sound like scratching wood. I seriously suspected it was using its fingernails to pick at the wood, "You're much stronger than those wastes from the Zhang Family. No need to be nervous, we're here to negotiate peace."

"Negotiate peace? Sounds more like a trick to surrender." I scoffed, only someone out of their mind would believe the Yellow Skins' words about seeking peace.

Tonight Yu Longting went with the Taoist to deal with the Yellow Skins, but who knew they would make a surprise move by showing up at my doorstep.

The Yellow Skins sighed at the door, admitting defeat, "Snake Lord is too brave, striking and killing more than half of us with one blow, and our lair has been attacked by the Snake Tribe,"

"Now you know to admit defeat, where was this attitude earlier?" I said disdainfully.

The Yellow Skins let out a "whoo whoo" crying sound, as if there was a magical sorrow in the rhythm.

The crying was like the howling of mountain winds and the reverse flow of a stream, causing unrelated people to feel sad along with the crying, "We realize our error and have brought some modest gifts to apologize, only hoping to exchange them for the return of our two Yellow Fairies."

In various ghost stories, the Yellow Skins are the most keen on becoming human.

Even at their weakest, when they could not transform into humans, they would seek out a corpse.

They would empty out the body and live inside it, pretending to be human.

Some Yellow Skin spirits from the mountains would even threaten ordinary villagers, forcing them to send their daughters to their caves and forcefully take them as brides.

They would even call themselves Yellow Fairy, Yellow Immortal.

Not only imitating humans but also arrogantly aspiring to join the Immortal Class.

I was cautiously leaning against the door, listening to the movements outside.

Seeing that I had not responded for a long time, the Yellow Skins continued on their own, "We are here to find a Thousand-Year Ginseng. We had no intention of offending you and Snake Lord. This Thousand-Year Ginseng... we offer as a gift to both of you."

"You despicable furry animals, let me go! If my master finds out you've caught me, he will definitely bite you to death. Awoooo!"

Suddenly, a child's fierce and shrill yelling erupted.

The voice indeed belonged to that adorable little Ginseng Spirit.

These Yellow Skins were powerful indeed, having captured the little Ginseng Spirit so quickly after landing on the island.

The little Ginseng Spirit yelled incessantly, "What are you trying to do, trying to use me... wuu wuu wuu..."

The little guy's mouth seemed to be stuffed, half cursing with a milky voice, then could only make sobbing sounds.

"We await the good news, farewell." The Yellow Skins outside suddenly took their leave.

After that, for a long time, there was not the slightest sound outside.

I made a gesture to Bai Zanhe, who was somewhat nervous, and whispered.

I also casually sent out a text, then gently pushed the door open.

In the deep of the night, the rain poured heavily.

Not a single star was visible, and the moon in the sky seemed fuller by a few degrees.

The cold moonlight shone on the ground in front of the house.

A little boy in shorts and a T-shirt knelt on the ground, tied with a frayed belt.

His mouth stuffed with a torn sock, his large round and teary eyes looked at me.

With a hint of terror and all confusion.

In front of the little boy, there was a battered bowl.

In the bowl, all Dog Head Gold the size of fists.

Piled high!

This gold must have been laboriously stolen by these Yellow Skins, easily worth a few million, also an absolute trap to lure me in.

"Wuu wuu wuu~" As I was about to bend down to grab the bowl, the little boy sobbed nonstop, a tear slowly rolling down from his eye.

I curled the corner of my mouth, picked up the bowl, and even took the fist-sized Dog Head Gold out of it to admire. The boy spat out the torn sock from his mouth, "Put the bowl down quickly, you'll fall for an illusion; get back in the house immediately."

"Too late, hehehe, we'll eat the Ginseng, and we want the Snake fetal tissue too. The flesh and blood of the Lin Family people can just be air-dried and saved for snacks later." A chilling voice rose from the dark bushes nearby, "Bai Zanhe, kill her. Use the Evil Corpse Nail to kill her."
