My Demon Husband Is a Snake

"Madam, this damn thing, it's gonna chop you down."

"If we leave, he's gonna chop at you again, what should we do then?"

The group of snakes entangling Master Yang clearly weren't ready to let him go that easily.

I said nothing, just silently watched them.

Soon, they sighed and quietly slithered off Master Yang's body.

"Clang," the knife in Master Yang's hand fell to the ground as he lost strength.

I placed the Steel Coin in his open palm, "Hold tight, it might hurt a bit."

"Ah... it hurts..." Master Yang screamed in pain, his forehead bulging with veins.

The round-shaped Gu Insects under his skin, agitated by the Demon-Breaking Power, caused his skin to bulge unevenly, looking particularly frightening.

Although I couldn't perform Gu Removal, I knew that the Gu following Master Yang were Evil Gu, and they were of a lower grade.

Compared to the Corpse Gu, which even Yu Longting couldn't handle, it's like heaven and earth.

So, I was confident that the coin could drive out the weak Spider Gu, "Follow my chant, Northern Emperor's Imperial Coin, Steel Coin defeats Evil Gu, those who disobey shall be sent to Incessant Hell to burn in hellfire, urgently as the law commands."

"Pfft..."

Master Yang spat out a mouthful of blood.

His body trembled like driftwood, falling to the ground, writhing in severe pain.

Yet, he held on to the coin in his palm as I had instructed, "Northern Emperor... Imperial Coin, Steel Coin defeats Evil Gu..."

Just a few sentences, yet it took Master Yang a full three minutes to recite completely.

By then, he was completely drenched in sweat.

From the wounds on his arms, a large group of spiders crawled out, fleeing his body as if running for their lives.

One can only imagine why Master Yang's arms were missing.

Clearly, it was gnawed away by the Gu.

In the past I could proudly say I wasn't too scared of bugs.

But at this moment, I was absolutely terrified.

I stepped onto a chair and escaped onto the table, "I knew I should have kept a rooster."

With so many spiders crawling chaotically around the shop, what should I do next?

Should I use fire?

What if some escaped into the dark corners, remaining unscorched? What then?

"We at Snake Mountain raise lots of roosters, they mainly eat centipedes," a cauliflower snake mumbled and gulped down a big clump of Spider Gu.

Other snakes criticized, "Why do you eat so much alone? Leave some for us!"

"Exactly, just a cauliflower snake and you hog all the food."

…

Under my astonished gaze, a swarm of snakes rushed over and cleaned up the mess of crawling, terrifying spiders.

One by one, they were stuffed and belched contentedly.

I finally gathered the courage to come down from the table and approached half a step away from Master Yang, "Master Yang... are you okay?"

"Why..." Master Yang whispered softly.

I was completely baffled by what he meant by 'why'.

Then I saw Master Yang lying on the ground, hammering it hard, "I was about to kill you just now, why did you save me?"

"If it were someone else, I definitely wouldn't have saved them," I poured a cup of water and handed it to Master Yang, "You were coerced, and also one of our own, you taught me many tricks of the trade."

"I held back when I taught you those dishes," Master Yang sipped the water, his face full of guilt, "What a... silly girl."

Seeing Master Yang nearly recovered, I helped him sit in the chair, "The recipes you held back are just right for home-cooked standard, which is good enough, I'm not running a Michelin-starred restaurant."

"Yuanyuan, you're so kind-hearted, even forgiving me for trying to kill you, you must help me, save my wife and kids," Master Yang had just settled down, then trembled as he knelt down.
