"Deceive you? Who do you think you are? And you can cure Blood-weeping Syndrome??" Yu Longting absolutely didn't believe it, the golden seal in his hand grew larger and larger.
This golden seal must have been using the strongest power he could muster at the moment.
Even though it was far from his pinnacle of strength, it was able to obliterate the Snake Lady in an instant, leaving not a trace of Demonic Qi to pollute the environment.
The Snake Lady was terrified, her bound body collapsing to the ground as she begged pitifully, "…give me a chance to reform, I beg you…please…if I die...this world...will have no one...no one can restore your Madam's appearance..."
"I think, she might really be able to cure Blood-weeping Syndrome." I originally had a special calling in my heart, unable to bear seeing this Snake Lady die, and now I finally found a reasonable excuse.
Convincing Yu Longting was also about convincing myself, "My maternal grandfather had a flare-up of Blood-weeping Syndrome once, apparently because he was bitten by her, infected with her snake venom."
"You you you you you!! You're Lin Huan's granddaughter??" The Snake Lady lay prone on the ground, her eyes bulging.
In such a state, so wretched.
It reminded me of the White Python on the Snake Devouring Stele, swallowed by Big Mouth.
That White Python must be this Snake Lady's true body, right?
Years of suppression, and the loss of her child, quite tragic indeed.
At that moment, Yu Longting furrowed his brows, slowed down the Seal Forming, and looked at the Snake Lady with a disdainful smile, "Heh, so Lin Huan really did get turned into a Wo melon-face by you?"
The atmosphere turned awkward.
The Snake Lady was exasperated, "Yes…yes, but he's your wife's maternal grandfather, is it really okay for you to call her Wo melon-face?"
"Yu Longting!!" I glared at Yu Longting in anger. Google seaʀᴄh nοvelfire.net
Yu Longting awkwardly cleared his throat, "A slip of the tongue, it won't happen again."
"You try to drive a wedge between me and my wife again, and see what happens." He didn't dare to rage at me, so he vented all his anger at the Snake Lady.
Fierce and terrifying, he wore a fearsome expression as if he wanted to kill her.
The Snake Lady bit her lip, "I wouldn't dare, Snake Lord, Lady of the Snake Lord, I am a Medicinal Snake, my blood can cure Blood-weeping Syndrome."
"Don't refer to yourself as 'concubine'," I objected.
The Snake Lady explained with a sad and pitiful look on her little face, "But 'concubine'… is just an ancient term women used as a humble self-denigrating reference, a very lowly one."
"I don't care, it's uncomfortable to hear such terms literally." I grew into a proud lemon tree, unreasonably consuming my jealousy with total impunity.
Yu Longting's hostility lessened considerably, a faint smile on his face.
It seemed he quite enjoyed my jealousy!
The Snake Lady, at our mercy, dared not to fight me head-on, shrinking her head in submission, "I understand, I'll listen to you, Lady of the Snake Lord."
"You better behave. If you dare to play any tricks, there's only death awaits you. Tell me, how can my wife consume your blood if it's full of Demonic Qi?" Yu Longting questioned the Snake Lady's ability to treat Blood-weeping Syndrome.
The Snake Lady nodded like pounding garlic, seeming much more obedient, "There's purifying equipment in the house."
Following the Snake Lady's gaze, Yu Longting and I looked towards the sinister and dilapidated European-style mansion.
Because it was so rundown, it looked more like a haunted house than Yun Hao's in the suburbs of B City.
"There's actually specialized purification equipment, you're a domesticated Medicinal Snake? To consume the blood, do you directly extract and purify it? Where's your owner?" Before I could ponder what the purification device was, Yu Longting pierced through the truth with his words.
A chill ran down my spine, and I immediately looked at the Snake Lady.
If not for Yu Longting's remark, I would have never grasped what a Medicinal Snake was!
Furthermore, her descent into the demonic path might not have been a result of her own stubbornness.
It was very possible that she was... she was... lured into the demonic path by someone else.
The Snake Lady hung her head low, "I killed him."
