My Demon Husband Is a Snake

"This child did have some restraint, only using his Spiritual Power to neutralize your strength," Yu Longting pinched my hand, carefully checked it, and finding I really wasn't hurt, he finally showed a satisfied look.

I was filled with even more emotion, "Even when he was about to be cooked, totally panicked, he still didn't really hurt me. What a good kid."

It was just like a cat treating its owner, no matter how rough the owner might be.

They instinctively retract their sharp claws, leaving only their gentlest side.

"You call that thing a child? He's probably much older than you," Yu Longting said with a helpless expression, "Wife, I'm going to chase after him. If he encounters bad people again, he might really end up being cooked."

"You're not using him as bait anymore?" I didn't really approve of Yu Longting's morally ambiguous strategies, and hearing this, I let out a sigh of relief internally.

Such a bait, once thrown, would inevitably lead to many sacrifices.

Although those people were likely reaping what they sowed, but isn't there a saying?

"You might not kill Boren, but Boren may die because of you."

Yu Longting pressed his forehead, flashing an unrestrained smile, "After all that's happened, the old man is unlikely to be lured out again, and naturally, this little thing doesn't need to risk his life anymore."

"Hurry and find Xiao Shenshen, go now! The longer you delay, the harder it'll be to find him. Stop wasting time…" Just now I was holding Yu Longting back, but then I hurriedly pushed him out of the house, urging him to go find Xiao Shenshen.

Outside the house, Yu Longting looked back.

His cool fingertips played with my earlobe, caressing it heavily.

His figure disappeared in an instant.

My heart fluttered slightly from the tease and then sank as he left.

From my speculation, Yu Longting's father must be a kind-hearted and deeply affectionate person, or else he wouldn't have earned such adoration from Xiao Shenshen and the Barbarian Villagers.

Once several external forces begin to violently compete for Shenshen in the Barbarian Village.

He definitely couldn't bear to see the Barbarian Village and Shenshen plunged into endless strife and slaughter.

He would have to intervene, and might even be unable to resist teaching the fake dragon god a lesson, saving the girls harmed or forced into marriage.

Unfortunately, Beichen and I were completely unaware of Yu Longting's plan; we rushed over here like headless flies with Xiao Li in tow.

With the plan exposed too soon, his father naturally wouldn't come out to interfere anymore.

In the end, we had to give up on searching for his father and take Xiao Ginseng back with us.

One can imagine how helpless Yu Longting's last words were before he left.

These are my guesses based on what I know about Yu Longting, and even if they aren't completely correct, they should be about right...

The night breeze brushed my face; when I came to my senses, I realized it was quite cold.

Wrapping myself tighter in Yu Longting's cloak, my attention returned to Bai Zanhe who was lost in thought.

This girl must have been terrified into a stupor after seeing Yu Longting's fierce intent to eat Xiao Shenshen.

Bai Zanhe spoke first, "Now that the Yellow Immortal is removed from me, I won't disturb you any longer. I'll find another place to rest."

"What about the wound on your leg? It's so deep that it will burst open as you walk," I glanced at Bai Zanhe's injured thigh; she had just been controlled by the Yellow Immortal.

To avoid hurting me, she forcefully stabbed her own leg.

Bai Zanhe showed a hint of embarrassment, somewhat like trying to cover her ears while stealing a bell, as she covered the injured spot, "It's nothing, I'll just bandage it up in a bit."

"Let me do the bandaging for you, Yu Longting has gone after Ginseng, and tonight… he might not come back. You should sleep with me," I insisted.

I saw that Bai Zanhe had offended the village chief and his family, and her only grandparent had been killed. I couldn't feel at ease letting her be alone.

If I kept her near me, the Barbarian Villagers wouldn't dare to attack her at will.

Having said that, I pulled Bai Zanhe back into the house without further ado.
