My Demon Husband Is a Snake

Yu Longting carried me out of Xiao Li's room, "Trust your husband, I will find the murderer and avenge you."

"Avenge..." My face buried in Yu Longting's embrace, my mind filled with Xiao Li's agonizing screams when she lost her child, I muttered unconsciously, "Who on earth... who did it??"

The Inner Breath in my Qi Sea was in complete disarray, a sweet and fishy taste rising to my throat.

I stubbornly swallowed it all down.

Yu Longting had already brought me back to our room and seated me on the bed.

He knelt on one knee, his fingertips caressing my trembling lips, "We'll find out, if you need to vomit blood, then do so, your husband won't be angry or blame you."

"Yu Longting...wuu..." My mental state was so fragile that it shattered at a touch, I threw myself into Yu Longting's arms, sobbing, "I don't want you to take revenge for me, I want to personally kill the one who set the gu, to flay them a thousand times over."

As I spoke, cool blood spilled from the corner of my mouth.

My whole being spun out of control, losing all sense of direction...

I vaguely felt Yu Longting lifting my body and laying me flat on the bed, "Okay, it's yours to do, I'm sorry, Wanwan, I failed to protect you."

Yu Longting...how could I blame you...

Clearly visible to me and hidden from the enemy, their pervasive infiltration and harm were impossible to fully defend against.

Light kisses landed on my lips, again and again, tirelessly.

The scent of Yu Longting enveloped my nose, and I drifted into a bewildered sleep, my body instinctively leaning towards that familiar, beloved scent.

This sleep was restless; I was acutely aware of the passage of time.

I could feel that I hadn't slept long, perhaps only an hour or two, when I was gently nudged awake, "Wanwan, it's time for your medicine, the sooner you take the Gu Removal medicine, the better."

"Mm, the medicine...is the medicine ready?" After waking up, I remained in a floating, unconscious state.

I felt my body being propped up against the headboard, the touch of cold lips against mine, as the bitter, earthy-tasting medicine was fed to me.

It immediately made me choke; my mouth and nose filled with bitterness, "It's so hard to swallow, Yu Longting..."

"I've tasted the medicine, could it still taste bad?" Yu Longting pinched my chin, giving me no chance to resist, and poured nearly half a bowl of the medicine in, "Say it's very tasty, Wanwan."

"Cough cough cough cough... You're too vain, thinking you're some kind of fairy man? Just because you've tasted the medicine, it's supposed to taste like nectar and ambrosia? I won't say it!" I coughed harshly, snapping to clarity far from my previous floating state.

Yu Longting's lips curved into a mischievous smile, "Oh? If you won't say it, then for the next ten days, you'll take medicine three times a day, and I'll feed it to you personally."

"No no no, don't! The way you feed is very tasty, really, I still prefer to drink it myself."

"Since it tastes good when I feed you, then I will always feed you."

Hehe, the longest route I've ever walked in my life is Yu Longting's trickery.

I suddenly let out a soft sigh, wrapping my arms around Yu Longting's waist, "Thank you, Yu Longting, you're really too good to me."

Yu Longting: "Thank you for what?"

"Knowing I'm in a gloomy mood, you purposely tease me to make me happy, to distract me," I buried my face in his chest and rubbed against it, "Don't worry, I won't be downcast forever. I need to conserve my energy to personally take down the person who killed Xiao Li's child."

For the next ten days, Xiao Li and I both took the strong medicine prepared by Bai Zanhe.

Strong medicine was needed to remove Gu Poison.

Even with my physical condition, I struggled through day after day of vomiting and diarrhea.

I almost didn't make it through, hovering on the edge of collapse every day.

Mostly, I was either perched over the toilet bowl or bedridden.

"Go, take it to your Young Madam." Yu Longting placed Xiao Shenshen beside my pillow, whispering to Xiao Shenshen.
