My Demon Husband Is a Snake

Behind me was the sound of the stall owner swallowing nervously after the fright, "I didn't know... she... is your... daughter-in-law..."

This stall owner was probably terrified by Yu Longting...

Yu Longting knocked on the old door panel for a while, and finally, it creaked open from the inside.

The man who opened the door was middle-aged, clad in a dusty work jacket over a faded set of thermal underwear, "Do you guests wish to stay for the night?"

"Hello, sir, we need to see Granny Long for an urgent matter," I nodded politely to the man.

The middle-aged man lifted a lantern to illuminate our faces, "Granny Long is out on an errand, please come back another day."

"Where has Granny Long gone? When will she be back?" My heart burned with urgency. It couldn't be such a coincidence that we needed Granny Long's help and she was nowhere to be found.

Could we really be encountering such unfortunate luck?

The man's face remained expressionless, "I have nothing to disclose."

"We truly have an urgent matter to discuss with her, it's a matter of life and death, is it possible..." I felt a faint pain in my abdomen, and the hairpin on my head vibrated slightly.

Using Demon-Breaking Power to suppress the outbreak of the Gu Poison and slow down the hatching speed of the eggs in Dumpling's blood, I still felt uncomfortable as cold sweat beaded on my forehead.

The man scanned me from top to bottom, eventually his gaze settling on my abdomen, and scoffed, "So, it's Gu Poison, hoping to find the old woman for Gu Removal, wait for death then."

"Did you eat shit? If you won't help, then don't help, but cursing my wife, you deserve to die," Yu Longting retorted sharply.

Yu Longting's palm supported my waist, stabilizing my center of gravity, as his sleeve lightly wiped the sweat from my forehead.

Suddenly, more than a dozen Black Snakes sprang from his sleeve, tightly coiling around the middle-aged man from head to toe.

The man's screams of agony arose, making me feel inexplicably uncomfortable, "Maybe we should let it go, disturbing people in the middle of the night can understandably irritate them, his crime does not warrant this."

"Wife, you are too forgiving, but I am petty and narrow-minded, not having the slightest tolerance. He should not have said that word," Yu Longting was touched on his Reverse Scale, and nothing I said could calm him.

I sighed in my heart, although I could not bear the middle-aged man being dragged into this innocently, what pained me more was Yu Longting's state of mind.

Having finally returned safely from Barbarian Village, now Dumpling was affected by Gu Poison.

Yu Longting, who cared so much for his family, was only outwardly calm while his inner turmoil was unimaginable...

The stall owner from the Ghost market, probably because it was close to the Corpse-Driving Inn and he was somewhat acquainted with the middle-aged innkeeper, jogged over to plea, "Brother Zhuzi is a good and honest man, he thought you were going to disturb Granny Long, that's why he spoke offensively, Brother Zhuzi, quickly apologize to Lord Dragon God and Lady Dragon God."

"Dragon God... he... is the Dragon God…" The middle-aged man was bitten all over by the snakes, his thermal underwear stained and punctured with blood-splattered holes.

My expression turned serious, "Yu Longting, I know you're upset, but this punishment is enough. It's merely my misfortune to be poisoned by the Gu, it's unnecessary to vent your anger on others."

"Wife, are... are you scolding me?" Yu Longting narrowed his eyes, looking somewhat fierce.

He then smiled resignedly, "Even when you're fierce, you're adorable. He can be spared now, but if something happens to you, he must accompany you in death."

As his words fell, the Black Snakes orderly crawled back into the sleeves of Yu Longting's clothes.

Yu Longting has always had a bad temper, only slightly restrained when he is with me, but recently I've encountered too many misfortunes.

This has caused his temper to become increasingly violent...

"Brother Zhuzi, hurry up, tell Lord Dragon God where Granny Long has gone," the stall owner urged the middle-aged man called Zhuzi, "The Long Family has served Lord Dragon God for generations. Even Granny Long herself would have to bow down before Lord Dragon God."

"He? The Dragon God? Hah... Ridiculous…" The middle-aged man, Zhuzi, kneeled on one knee to balance himself, heavily injured and unable to muster the strength to stand, "The Dragon God died a thousand years ago. What Dragon God could there be in this day and age? Only the dull villagers of Barbarian Village could be fooled by a fake dragon god."
