My Demon Husband Is a Snake

"I don't know what happened, but suddenly someone popped up, took the Ice Silkworm Gu from me and Beichen, and now we have to take care of him and fulfill his wishes." Xiao Li tried not to cry, her face twisted in distress, "Must be the retrograde messing with us, why else would such bad luck befall us?"

Beichen interjected, "I think he might be here for Su Wan."

In front of Yu Longting, Beichen would address me as the Lady of the Snake Lord.

Privately, he still uses my name, treating me as a friend.

That has always been comforting to me.

"You're absolutely right, we notified the sect, and three of our brothers were killed by Yellow Skins," said Zhang Sanxia, "The elder ancestor has learned that you're in Western Hunan now."

Zhang Sibin added, "The elder ancestor came specifically to find you, since he couldn't enter Barbarian Village, he met your friend first."

Me: "..."

Xiao Li: "..."

Beichen: "..."

"Wife, give me Xiao Shenshen," Yu Longting said affectionately, now influenced by me to call the Thousand-Year Ginseng by its intimate name, Xiao Shenshen.

I looked at him warily, "I just finally got him to sleep, don't wake him up."

"Doesn't your husband deserve your trust?" Yu Longting said with a smile.

My heart melted, trusting him completely as I handed Xiao Shenshen over, "I might distrust anyone, but never you."

However, once Xiao Shenshen was in the hands of the Big Bad Snake,

Yu Longting swiftly stripped Xiao Shenshen of his garments and handed them to Zhang Sanxia and Zhang Sibin, "Thanks for your significant help in Barbarian Village, this is the reward I promised."

"Thank you, Snake Lord, you truly keep your word, a true gentleman indeed."

"We'll definitely speak highly of you in front of the elder ancestor to have him accept you as our brother-in-law," they flattered and thanked profusely, brown-nosing to no end.

I always knew that these two men from the Orthodox Sect would cater to Yu Longting's whims; they must have had some deal with him.

So Yu Longting had promised them that.

After their flattery, they joyously handed over the red and yellow garments to Zhang Zidao, presenting them like precious treasures.

"Give Xiao Shenshen back to me." I demanded, regretting everything, feeling completely let down.

It was my fault for trusting Yu Longting too much, which led to Shenshen not even having clothes to wear.

This guy certainly didn't go back on his word, waking Shenshen up,

But stripping the poor child bare, how could there be such a heartless young master?

Before long, Xiao Shenshen rubbed his eyes and woke up.

As soon as he woke up, he nervously curled up, "My... my clothes, why are they gone?"

"Uh, Yu Longting borrowed them." I tried to wrap Xiao Shenshen's petite body with my own coat, but his body repelled all other fabrics except his own clothes.

Seeing his own bare body, Xiao Shenshen's tears flowed again, "The young master is bullying me again, Shenshen has no clothes, how am I to face others."

I consoled him for a long time before I could get the little poor thing to stop crying, "There, there, I'll make you a new, better-looking set of clothes, and I promise you won't have to hide from anyone."

Xiao Shenshen: "Really? But... normal clothes don't fit me."

Me: "Of course it's true, I promise, the clothes I make for you will definitely fit."

Xiao Shenshen: "Lady... you're the best~"

I curled my lips slightly, feeling a surge of emotions. Initially, Shenshen didn't like me getting near him, even biting me.

But after getting to know each other better, he had become increasingly dependent on me.

"Don't draw water from the well, there are evil spirits in there," came Zhang Zidao's voice from the courtyard.

Upon hearing the word "evil spirits," I immediately rushed out with Shenshen to investigate.

We saw Xiao Li holding a half-filled bucket dripping with water, "Evil spirits? But... it's just that the tap water is cut off, and we have been drinking well water for several days."

"It's been contaminated just now."
