My Demon Husband Is a Snake

Snake Lord got out of the car and carried me down, "Wanwan, I am training dumbass."

"..." The corner of my mouth twitched.

Are you sure... it's not because you're too lazy to bother?

The restaurant has been closed for a while now.

Ever since the boss, Chen Shufen, was poisoned last time and nearly had a miscarriage.

Once bitten, twice shy, the couple decided to close the restaurant temporarily.

They went back to their hometown, which is Z city where Xiao Li is, to wait for the birth.

The keys to the restaurant were left with Xiao Li and me for safekeeping.

I got down from Snake Lord's embrace and used the key to unlock the door.

Inside, it was cold and quiet, with a layer of dust on the tables and chairs.

I looked around with a sense of emotion, eager to return to my own little nest upstairs.

Flopping onto the bed felt like settling dust, grounding and comfortable.

This small dormitory room in the restaurant had somehow become a place where my soul found solace.

"You've been through a rough journey and haven't had a proper meal, do you want some porridge to warm up your stomach?" Snake Lord asked gently bending over.

I sat up with a start and blinked at the considerate Snake Lord, "Are you going to cook the porridge? I'll go, you've been taking care of me when I was bedridden on medication."

"Be good, you're not fully recovered yet. When you are better, I'll give you the chance to be the dutiful wife and mother," Snake Lord said gently, but a sharp look flashed through his eyes as many colorful long snakes slipped out from his sleeves.

As the snakes reached the ground, they quickly spread out in all directions.

They were to act as sentries.

I was indeed still weak and didn't refuse Snake Lord's kindness, "Okay."

While Snake Lord went downstairs to cook porridge, I lay in bed fiddling with the Begonia Hairpin repaired by Zhang Zidao, somehow feeling a trace of Sharp Metal Gang Qi emanating from the hairpin.

Old Taoist Zhang said it took him twenty years of cultivation to repair it, could it be that he infused twenty years of Sharp Metal Gang Qi into the broken hairpin?

For ordinary people, twenty years is but the passing of water in a stream.

But for Old Senior Zhang with profound foundations, being a transcendent being, one year of his could match a hundred years of others.

The Demon-Breaking Power and pure Sharp Metal Gang Qi transformed the hairpin, making it astonishingly strong.

Common demons and evil beings would be destroyed on contact with the hairpin!

Unintentionally, through the window, I saw a white light flying towards us from the northwest.

I sat up straight and hurried out of bed.

Rushing downstairs, I crept up stealthily as I neared the kitchen.

I saw Snake Lord receiving a new Jade Tablet, while Yu Er was still wailing, "Brother, could it be something happened to sister-in-law? Are you really going to ignore me? There's a female Snake Spirit who's taken a liking to me and has tried to force herself on me several times, I'm about to lose my innocence, sob sob."

How... how pitiful.

I hid by the kitchen door and eavesdropped, while feeling a minute of silence for Yu Er in my heart.

"Sister-in-law is fine. If you really can't stand it, just yield to it," Snake Lord casually formed some Hand Seals with his slender fingers, and then continued to chop vegetables. His tone shifted from frivolous to deep, and at this point, he actually resembled someone who was playing the part of a brother,

"Rongling… I've seen father's coffin. The coffin was stolen by Xuanjing. Father's corpse is missing, and without a means to suppress it, the Serpent Domain… might as well be purged completely."

Snake Lord spoke the most severe words with calm composure, his silhouette emanating a chilling frost that was so impressive that even I, eavesdropping outside the kitchen, was overwhelmed by his aura.

I leaned against the wall, feeling as if a heavy stone weighed upon my heart.

Even though Snake Lord never mentioned what terrible things the Serpent Domain would face,

It was clear that for thousands of years, it was Dragon Dad's body that suppressed the Snake Spirits.

The disappearance of Dragon Dad's body meant that the Serpent Domain would lose the power to suppress the Snake Spirits forever.

Once Yu Rongling's side falls, the Snake Spirits will escape the Serpent Domain.

Snake Lord, I always want to rely on you.

But I… am really too selfish…

I have never considered what, as the Snake Lord, you must bear.

Clenching my fists, I tiptoed back upstairs.

After a short while,

I heard Snake Lord entering the room and I quickly sat up from the bed, "Mmm, it smells good, did you make eight-treasure porridge?"
