My Demon Husband Is a Snake

"Yes, on that day I still want to be mommy's baby, play with auntie, and continue... to be friends with Dumpling," Congcong mentioned Dumpling, slightly shy, with a sense of timidity.

It momentarily alleviated the somber atmosphere.

I kissed Congcong on the top of her head and asked Bai Yinman, "Do you want to hold her again?"

"No need, I don't want to delay Congcong," Bai Yinman softly lowered her eyelids.

At this moment, she wasn't falling apart, there were no cries or sadness.

She seemed like a shallow moon reflecting on the water, so gentle...

For Congcong, this was a relief.

It was indeed a happy event.

There was no need for excessive sorrow.

Once I realized this, I put Congcong back into the Crystal Coffin, took out a fire charm drawn by Yu Longting from my pocket, "Balance of Yin and Yang, the sun rises from the east, I now inscribe this charm, sweep away the evil, exhale Samadhi True Fire, wear the 'Single Character of Light', Monster Catcher Heavenly Marshal, use Swift Vajra to break the 'Po Qi', subdue the Demons Monster, and turn them into auspiciousness, quickly as the law demands."

This time, I used all my strength!

The fire charm flew like the wind, landing on Congcong's body.

Naturally without fire, fierce flames erupted.

A clear and piercing Phoenix cry sounded, and surprisingly, a Fire Phoenix flew out from the fire.

It seemed that the Phoenix's fire had been gestating in the fire all along, now just being reborn from the ashes.

The Fire Pheonix spiraled around me once, then fiercely dove toward Congcong.

It engulfed Congcong's body completely in a sea of fire; she turned instantly into charcoal, and finally into ashes, so there was almost no suffering.

I fulfilled my promise.

Not far away, a sudden exclamation came from the Old Taoist Priest Zhang Zidao, he was so astonished he cursed, "Damn, damn! This... This is the 'Phoenix Dancing in the Sky'!"

"What is 'Phoenix Dancing in the Sky'?"

My gaze still fixed on the melting fire, watching the last bit of ashes that Congcong left behind, I casually asked Zhang Zidao.

"That is heavenly fire... not of this realm, an Immortal couldn't have refined it, haven't you heard of it? Allow me a moment, allow this poor priest a moment," he said.

Zhang Zidao seemed to have received a tremendous shock, clutching at his chest.

I was also somewhat amazed by the incredibly effective scene that had just unfolded, but I felt more likely it was because the fire charm Yu Longting gave me was just very powerful.

The Old Taoist Priest recovered in less than three seconds and hurriedly ran up to me, pressing his hands on my shoulders, "Girl, be my Direct Disciple."

"What did you say?" I thought I misheard due to poor hearing.

Zhang Zidao's eyes sparkled, from the initial disdain and contempt he held for me, it had turned into fanaticism, "It shouldn't be, you are the Spiritual Girl with sharp senses, you shouldn't have misheard, I said you! Become my disciple, inherit my mantle, and someday take charge of the Zhang Family."

"Uh... Are you mistaken?" I seriously doubted Zhang Zidao was getting old and had Alzheimer's, "I, a Su Family member, an outsider, how can I take charge of your Zhang Family?"

Then I heard Zhang Zidao assertively saying, "The Su Family has already declined, there's only you left, what's there to stay for, better come with me to the Zhang Family. Not only will everyone in the Zhang Family revere you, they will obey you without question. In the future, in the Geomancy Realm, you would be the undisputed leader. Commanding the world, none would dare disobey."

"Your Zhang Family is well-established with many sect members, you have so many options, why choose me to pass on the legacy, are you... perhaps senile?" I knew it was impolite, but this was truly my honest doubt.

Zhang Zidao's ancient hands grasped mine tightly, with quite an affectionate touch, "Alas, misfortune in our family, the two chosen direct heirs I personally selected have betrayed me, my Celestial Master Scroll is afraid of being lost..."

This really was unlucky enough, he picked two heirs, and both betrayed him?

The old man must have problems in how he conducts himself, causing the heirs not to follow him.

I suddenly realized something, and tentatively asked,

"Senior, the two chosen direct heirs you mentioned, one named Zhang Che and the other Zhang Shuying?"
