My Demon Husband Is a Snake

"Wanwan... Wanwan... Don't scare me!"

As my body fell like a kite with its string cut, the sound of Yu Longting calling out to me beside my ear broke into a hoarse, cracked voice.

Something stirred inside my heart. Even though my head was heavy, making it hard to open my eyes, I still managed to muster a bit of strength to grasp his hand, "It's okay, don't... don't... be afraid, I'm just a little dizzy... "

Before I lost consciousness, my heart was full of thoughts of Yu Longting, fearing that he would worry about me.

I always felt as if I had fallen into a bunch of bizarre dreams, where the most frequent memories were of the people and events I encountered in the Serpent Domain.

But none of them were clear, the images contained countless gloomy stone tablets standing towards the sky, Qingyang's eye-catching white hair, and a blur-faced man in ancient attire.

I always felt I had seen him clearly, but his likeness had been forcibly erased from my mind.

Like a photograph that had been partially burned, my mind... must have had a lapse...

And because of some stimulation at the altar, I recalled a few fragments.

There was a burning heat falling on my cheeks, and also a cold liquid rolling down.

I touched the place where the liquid rolled and slowly opened my eyes, only to see a glimpse of dawn in the sky.

This is not Baiming Cave.

It seems like I am lying on a wobbly moving boat.

In astonishment, I touched a not so clear tear streak on the man's face, "This is the first time I've seen you cry... were you scared just now?"

"I didn't cry, don't accuse me wrongly, how could a man cry, you saw it wrong," Yu Longting defensively argued, though his body honestly leaned over, with his palm cradling my back, he tightly embraced me deeper into his arms, "Why did you suddenly faint? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

"I'm not uncomfortable, I was probably... just influenced by the altar, perhaps Dragon Dad somewhere likes me, his daughter-in-law, quite a bit." I did not tell Yu Longting about the things I saw in the Serpent Domain in my dream, since he was clearly startled by my sudden fainting.

Telling him about my own unclear matters would worry him again.

Yu Longting looked stunned for a moment, then spoke in a somber and fierce tone, "Influence? When you fainted, I infused Spiritual Power into your body - your extraordinary meridians and other channels were sealed, and you even stopped breathing."

My goodness, no wonder Yu Longting was so scared, scared to the point of tears.

He almost... thought... I had died...

In his eyes, he truly, truly cares about me so deeply.

"But now I don't feel any discomfort in my body, the meridians are unobstructed, and even the Life Lamp... lit up a bit, although it's not fully recovered." I had a strange feeling in my heart, firmly believing that Dragon Dad must still be alive in this world.

Perhaps... my Life Lamp was partly healed by him...

Yu Longting grasped my pulse, carefully checking several times before he reassured, "It'll still be a while before we get to Barbarian Village, you should get some rest."

"I'm not sleepy, by the way, where did this boat come from? It looks kind of familiar." Somehow, this boat resembled the ramshackle, paper-mache straw boat that sank!

Yu Longting said, "This is the boat originally prepared for you for entering Baiming Cave."

"I see, the boat I and Bai Zanhe sat on, was it swapped by someone else?" Thinking about it made me clench my fists in anger.

It was simply disregarding human life, fully intent on killing me and Bai Zanhe.

Yet Yu Longting smirked with a wicked smile, "The old village chief did it."
