My Demon Husband Is a Snake

"Would I get hit if I said I came here to scrounge for food?" Yu Rongling weakly raised his hand.

A look of preparedness for a severe beating from his brother painted his pitiful face.

Yu Longting curled his lips and asked me, "Do you want to have lunch?"

After all, having eaten the Immortal Peach, I felt quite full.

In fact, I could go without food for many days!

Thus, the Green Snake made all kinds of eye signals at me desperately.

"Ahem, I guess I do." In the end, my heart softened, and I coughed twice.

Yu Longting looked at his younger brother with a smile that was not quite a smile, "Get beaten after you eat."

"Won't I end up vomiting the food then? It would all be for nothing!" Yu Rongling suddenly realized he had trapped himself.

Obviously, being beaten to the point of vomiting was much worse than just a straightforward beating.

Liu Hongluan spread out the food from the food box, calling everyone to eat.

Yu Longting tasted each dish before he would let me eat it.

Jealousy flashed repeatedly in Liu Hongluan's eyes, nearly snapping her chopsticks in half.

This woman really was stubborn; she wouldn't concede after being humiliated time after time.

Yu Rongling gloomily shoveled food into his mouth, waiting to be beaten later.

After finishing the meal, I planned to clean up the table.

I also washed the dishes, as I wasn't one to enjoy idle pleasures.

Being here for confinement, doing nothing all day, made me feel like my bones would rust sooner or later.

Liu Hongluan chuckled lowly, "Such demeaning tasks should be left to the Snake Attendant, how could the Snake Lord bear to have Sister Wan do it herself."

"That works, I feel rather heavy and lazy to move." The more I observed Liu Hongluan, the stranger she seemed, to think washing dishes was a demeaning task.

If she saw Yu Longting washing dishes in the kitchen, her eyes would probably fall out of her head.

With a whistle from Liu Hongluan, several graceful ancient-style beauties came in.

They efficiently cleaned the table and took away the used dishes and utensils.

The afternoon passed, and I truly felt a bit tired.

Yu Longting helped me to the bed to lie down, and waited for me to fall asleep before he left.

In my subconscious, I faintly heard Yu Rongling being dragged out, screaming like a dying pig, "Brother, let's talk this out, I only came to bother my sister-in-law because I messed up the Exploding Scale, not to disturb her on purpose! Ginseng came to bother her too, why don't you send her away? It's so unfair..."

Then, I fell into a deep sleep, hearing nothing else.

When I woke up, Xiao Shenshen was back on my wrist.

The rain had stopped outside, and the sun was out.

Looking at the sun, it seemed to be around three or four in the afternoon, I took a sip of water to gather myself.

I ate a few pieces from the plate of sweets and couldn't help but sigh continuously.

Was I going to spend the next month in this cycle of eating and sleeping?

"Sister, can we discuss something?" Suddenly, a huge red python descended from the beam overhead, crawling down the pillar towards me.

Its vertical pupils stared at me intensely, like a resentful woman from a cold palace.

I put down the butterfly pastry in my hand, "What is it?"

"Sister, your appearance is what it is for this lifetime, and your family background is the Lin Family, which never fits in with us snakes and has always been poor, never seeing the world," the red python slowly transformed into an alluring beauty, Liu Hongluan sat elegantly across from me, looking scornfully at my plain face.

My expression grew colder, "What are you trying to say?"

Did she specifically hide in my room to wait for me to wake up, just to belittle me?

"Even though you are so unworthy, the Snake Lord is unwavering in his devotion to you. I've loved him for hundreds of years, yet he never spared me a second glance," Liu Hongluan wept bitterly, her tears pitifully falling, "I accept it, the favored one never worries and always remains the luckiest."

"So... you're here to garner sympathy? This isn't like you, Liu Hongluan, you used to resort to murder out of jealousy without much talk," I observed Liu Hongluan's actions, somewhat unable to understand her behavior today.

In front of Yu Longting, she pretended to be magnanimous, but once Yu Longting left, she started playing the damsel in distress.

Liu Hongluan grasped my hand, a hint of purple brilliance flickered in her eyes, a sign of using the Charm Technique, "Sister, please pity me and share the Snake Lord with me."

"Share... him with you? What?" Without even needing to use my Spiritual Power, the Begonia Hairpin I wore casually dissolved her Charm Technique.

Liu Hongluan hadn't realized I had neutralized her technique, and intensified her efforts, her pupils turning thoroughly purple, "Which capable man doesn't have multiple wives or concubines, let alone a king. If you agree, the Snake Lord won't reject me, please."
