My Demon Husband Is a Snake

I looked at him with a bewildered face, "Take off... what?"

We were home, and I wanted to check on my mom's condition.

"Take off, your, clothes," Yu Longting said coldly.

I shivered and asked, "Mine? Or yours?"

Yu Longting looked at me as if I were an idiot, "Mine."

"Oh, why do you want me to take off yours?" I obediently did as he said but couldn't help asking.

I wanted to go to my mom, but I dared not easily anger him.

Xuanjing was severely injured by Yu Longting, my mom shouldn't be in any danger...

I had no choice but to comfort myself in my heart.

Yu Longting leaned over and covered my lips, his voice wicked, "I saved you, shouldn't you take the initiative?"

"..." I really wished I could chop off the hand that I had just used to undo his clothes.

I turned my head away, hoping to avoid the kiss.

But he forcefully grasped my chin, leaving me no choice but to accept it.

What followed was quite a fight with a Goblin.

I was terribly bullied by Yu Longting.

I didn't know when I had passed out; I only woke up around noon.

No trace of Yu Longting could be found around me, probably he had run off somewhere to heal his injuries...

As soon as I woke up, I went to find my mom. She lay in her room's bed, in a dazed state with a slight fever.

Seeing her at home and not injured,

my hanging heart finally settled down.

I applied a fever-reducing patch to her and fed her antipyretics, and her fever subsided before long.

"Wanwan, was what happened last night a dream or real?" My mom woke up, grabbed me, and asked nervously.

I nodded with difficulty, "It's real, you were possessed by Xuanjing, which seems to be a very powerful Fox Immortal. It can control a person through possession..."

"Then you... Are you alright? I saw you being put into the bridal sedan, and no matter how I tried, I couldn't catch up. After that, I knew nothing," my mom said with a worried face.

From my mom's description, I guessed she might have fainted outside.

Maybe, probably...

It was Yu Longting who brought her back...

I clasped my mom's cold hands, "I'm fine. Yu Longting saved me and even brought me back."

"He saved you? But I... I remember I tore up the cheongsam." My mom's face turned pale, "It wasn't on purpose. At that time, my body was out of control..."

I looked at my mom with mixed feelings, paused, and then told her what I saw when I got up, "The cheongsam is still hanging on the living room wall, unharmed."

"Was it just an illusion at the time?"

"But I also saw you cutting up the cheongsam with the Yin Yang Scissors."

"What?!!"

After that, the air was filled with a heavy silence.

Everything that happened was too bizarre; that cheongsam could return on its own after being thrown away, and it could still hang intact back in its original place after being cut up...

I cooked noodles in the kitchen and ate with my mom.

In the afternoon, I rummaged through boxes and drawers for a long time, finally finding my dad's tattered notebook. I brought it up with my mom, "Mom, I want to learn what's in here."

The Su family held a grudge, and Xuanjing had always been looking for opportunities to take revenge.

Always relying on Yu Longting, there would come a time when he was unreliable.

Moreover, this guy is capricious, and he has always harbored a grudge for my dad causing his death...

"Wanwan, learning this is very difficult and requires a lot of talent," my mom sighed with some helplessness.

I said, "I'm not afraid of the hardships. Whether I have the talent or not, I'll know only if I try. Besides, by learning this, I could reopen the tailor shop, providing an extra livelihood for the two of us."

"Alright, if you want to learn, then learn," my mom wrote an address on a piece of paper and told me, "Go find Granny Wu."

I was quite curious, "Who is Granny Wu? Do you mean to take her as my teacher? Aren't we, the Su Family, the only ones who know Life and Death Embroidery?"
