My Demon Husband Is a Snake

"Don't worry, we were watching them dig."

Yu Longting, holding the still-crying Ginseng Spirit child in one hand, handed me a piece of paper with the other.

The paper was precisely drawn with where the Yellow Skins had painstakingly dug a hole in the ground right in front of the house.

I felt somewhat helpless, "So you watched the Yellow Skins knock on the front door? You guessed and didn't tell me sooner?"

"Those vile beasts are too cunning. If I had told you in advance and your acting wasn't convincing enough, then what? I needed you to stall for time." Yu Longting clicked his tongue a few times, eyeing me with his seductive phoenix eyes as if seeing me anew, "Who knew my wife would be so ruthless, dealing with the Yellow Immortal planted inside your body that I couldn't handle, yet you managed to extract and slaughter it, how did you do it? Tsk~Impressive, my wife~"

Yu Longting was not without means.

His intelligence was easily more than ten times mine.

He simply lacked patience with anyone other than me and would brutishly think about slaughtering to resolve matters.

"Hmm, the methods... are too... too vicious, I'll tell you privately next time." I still wanted to maintain some decorum in front of so many people to avoid leaving a bad impression of being a villainous woman, "Hey, you used me to stall for time, what were you planning to do?"

"I had them start knitting the fishing net; once it's ready, we'll secure the vicinity tightly before making a move," Yu Longting replied casually.

This was to lay out the fishing net formation to capture the Yellow Immortals; even if they tried to escape in every direction, they would eventually be caught by the fishing nets prepared nearby.

One might say he aimed to catch all the Yellow Immortals in one fell swoop.

Look at this intelligence, worthy of a black-hearted snake who has lived for thousands of years.

His long snake life experience had definitely accumulated plenty of craftiness in his belly.

I touched my chin, "This is a fishing village; there should be plenty of fishing nets, just need to splice the normal ones together."

"What my wife says makes sense; we think alike as husband and wife, we can only make do with what we have. If we were to knit such a big net from scratch, we would have to wait for ages," said Yu Longting as he hooked around my waist and pulled me into his embrace.

All those who were acting with us knew the exact location of the traps.

The Barbarian Villagers took the initiative to check for all the traps and filled them up with soil.

The two Taoists tied the living Yellow Skins with wire into a string and nailed them at their bone joints with Penetrating Nails, completely crippling them.

Then, they dragged the group of wailing Yellow Skins over to Yu Longting and me, asking what to do with them.

"Handing them over to me is pointless, I only know how to kill, which is so uninteresting," Yu Longting waved his hand, "Take them back to the Zhang Family, your family has more methods, more variety, better at playing than I am."

"Lord Dragon God speaks wisely, we'll do as you say!"

The eyes of the two Taoists swirled, as if thinking of something, exchanging a knowing look with Yu Longting before dragging away the group of wailing Yellow Skins to their dwelling.

"Now it's time to deal with you," said Yu Longting, lifting the small boy up with a menacing glare.

The small boy dangled like a pitiful little chick, "What... what are you going to do? young... young master."

"So many years and you're still so useless, how do you cultivate at all? But your courage has grown, daring to run out on your own." Yu Longting played the thief shouting 'stop thief,' bullying the Ginseng Spirit, "Hey, my wife is unwell, stew yourself for her to eat."

"No way, I'm only for my master to eat, I'm my master's nourishment." The child panicked, shaking his head like a rattle so hard it was as if it would fall off, "Let me go... I won't let anyone else eat me, woo woo woo... Master save me... where are you..."

Yu Longting sneered, "That's not for you to decide, Wanwan, go heat up the pot, we're eating Ginseng."

"(⊙o⊙)... Uh, Yu Longting, are you serious?" I was a bit unclear whether he was simply scaring the Ginseng Spirit or actually intended to stew and eat him.
