My Demon Husband Is a Snake

The front of the garment featured blooming red lotuses while the back held a special and intricate Blood Array for replenishing blood.

When working simultaneously, these sides formed the "Blood Splendor Robe."

Fortunately, growing up immersed in this environment, I followed along and learned a bit of embroidery.

Otherwise, such a difficult two-sided embroidery would have certainly been impossible for me to achieve.

Yu Longting sat opposite me, asking, "How long will it take?"

"About three hours," I answered as I threaded the needle, "The stitching technique of the Yin Yang Life and Death Embroidery is different from the usual Su or Hang embroideries. It looks complicated, but it's actually quick."

Yu Longting tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop, interestingly watching the making of the garment, fixated on my handiwork, "I'll keep you company here."

"Oh." His smile, not quite a smile but filled with an inexplicably gentle warmth, made me feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Why is my heartbeat accelerating? Am I scared?

But he doesn't look intimidating right now... rather, he's... particularly... handsome...

I can't keep getting distracted; saving Uncle Jiang is urgent.

Hurriedly, I bowed my head to cut the fabric and began making the garment.

In reality, the entire Yin Yang Embroidery took a full four hours to complete.

After all, it was my first attempt, and I was unfamiliar with the process.

I came to realize that making the Life and Death Embroidery is especially draining on both mental and physical strength; by the time I finished, my eyes were red from strain.

I felt completely drained, lacking the energy to even lift a single finger.

"Help him put it on," Yu Longting said nonchalantly as he tossed the garment onto Uncle Jiang's head.

The young Taoist came over and draped it onto Uncle Jiang.

Only to discover one sleeve was longer than the other.

The usually expressionless youth couldn't help but twitch the corners of his lips at that moment.

Seeing that, I too found it funny and sheepishly admitted, "It's my first time making it; it looks a bit shabby."

"Indeed, it looks terrible. To avoid embarrassment, I'll take it once he's done with it," Yu Longting said as he swept me up into his arms.

I was quite surprised, "You want it?"

"Any problem with that?" he asked.

I immediately shook my head like a rattle drum, not daring to object!

Seeing him heading towards the car parked outside Granny Wu's house, I hurriedly said, "I haven't asked Granny Wu about learning the Yin Yang Life and Death Embroidery."

"No need to ask such bullshit. She's just a supplier; we'll come to her whenever we need to," Yu Longting replied indifferently.

At that moment, Granny Wu chased after us, saying, "Lord Snake Lord, the snake you left at our house, did you forget to take it with you?"

"I didn't forget; it's a gift for you. You like it, don't you?"

"Like..."

Granny Wu was full of dismay.

Granny Wu then said, "But there's something I'm not sure I should say."

"Then don't say it. Save it and spare yourself from angering me and losing your life," Yu Longting said as he opened the car door, outright refusing.

Clearly, he couldn't stand to hear even half a sentence of unpleasant things.

Had he been an ancient emperor, he would have undoubtedly been a tyrant.

Granny Wu: "..."

Granny Wu glanced at me, her expression suddenly turning cold and hostile, "Even if you want to kill me, I must say it. The Su family has deceived you so badly, that Su family girl doesn't deserve your kindness, much less your repeated efforts to save her life."

"Granny Wu, as you know, you're asking for death," Yu Longting's sleeve stirred with a terrifying and fierce aura, and his normally languid eyes swirled with a murderous intent.

In a panic, I grabbed Yu Longting's sleeve and pushed back the snake head just about to emerge, "Uhm... stay calm, stay calm!! My family is indeed at fault; Granny Wu is right, frank advice grates on the ear, frank advice... Let's not kill anyone, okay...?"

"I... This is my first time seeing someone dare to stop Snake Lord from releasing snakes, and... to not be bitten to death by them," Granny Wu murmured to herself, pale-faced.

Not bitten to death?

Well, that was just now, wait a bit and it might not be the case.

I'm nearly fainting with fear, because Yu Longting's expression is as dark as thunderclouds over the city.

This is it, he might just shift his rage onto me in his fury.

"Say that again." Yu Longting's dark eyes seemed to deepen with something.
