"Oh? Alright then, I'm not interested in your past, you, lead the way to the device for purifying Demonic Blood." Yu Longting commanded the Snake Lady to lead the way, completely indifferent to her entanglement with the Meishan Mountain Sorcerer.
The Snake Lady dared not defy Yu Longting, "Yes."
Immediately, Yu Longting snapped his fingers, and the ropes binding the Snake Lady loosened a bit.
Her frail body, weakened by injuries, trembled slightly as she swayed her Snake Tail toward the dilapidated mansion to lead the way for me and Yu Longting.
I picked up Dumpling and handed him to Yu Longting, "Let Daddy hold you?"
"Daddy, hug~" This time, Dumpling cooperated without any fuss, lovingly wrapping his arms around Yu Longting's neck.
In Yu Longting's arms, he even puckered his little lips and gave Yu Longting's neck a sweet kiss.
Wow, too cute and adorable.
If it weren't for my wanting to get close to the Snake Lady, to coax some useful information out of her.
And fearing that the Snake Lady might secretly attempt to attack, putting Dumpling at risk of injury, I would never have handed him over to Yu Longting.
After I successfully handed Dumpling over to Yu Longting, I walked up to the Snake Lady, "Snake Lord isn't interested in those things, but I am. Start by telling me your name, and tell me everything without leaving anything out."
"I knew it~" A sigh of resignation came from behind me, from Yu Longting.
He knew his wife would not be able to suppress her curiosity and would seek out the Snake Lady for answers.
My lips curled into a smile, barely suppressing a chuckle. The most update n0vels are published on novel⚑fire.net
The Snake Lady's voice arose mournfully, "I... my name is Sangsang, and I was raised by the Meishan Mountain Sorcerer as a Medicinal Snake."
"What exactly is a Medicinal Snake?" My heart sank, inexplicably moved by Sangsang's emotions.
Sangsang clenched her fist, "From a young age, I was fed Lingzhi every day and never ate anything else. This went on for more than three hundred years, my blood having an extraordinarily high medicinal value."
"So, you're a mobile blood reservoir for that Meishan Mountain Sorcerer! A mobile elixir??" She and Xiao Shenshen are both elixirs! Only Xiao Shenshen is luckier, from Dragon Dad to Yu Longting, none have truly considered devouring Xiao Shenshen~
Anger welled up inside me and my already heavy heart sank further, "But you've been oppressed for three hundred years, you should have submitted long ago, it shouldn't be sudden that you rebelled and killed him."
Is there a possibility that, actually, Sangsang had been very compliant during the period she was being raised?
The reason Sangsang took the drastic action to kill a man was because the man...
did something even more outrageous.
"You're right, you guessed correctly." Sangsang laughed bitterly in extreme anger, sounding very desolate, "I turned to demonic paths because he forced me to practice Demonic Cultivation Techniques, making me use Demonic Qi to kill and absorb other people's cultivation, enhancing my own medicinal properties. But I was too weak back then, tortured by the intense pain from the Demonic Qi every day... I never thought about resisting him. That is until one time..."
This time, Sangsang paused for a long time, not continuing to speak.
It seems that that experience was indeed too tragic.
We had already entered the mansion, following the old staircase slowly upstairs.
The age and lack of maintenance made the staircase creak with every step taken.
This appears to be a house built during the Republic of China era, exuding a special warmth.
It doesn't look like a place where Meishan Mountain Sorcerer would reside, nor does it seem like something a Demon Snake Lady could have constructed.
"I fell in love with someone, couldn't stand the control of the Meishan Mountain Sorcerer, so I ran away with that person and moved to this place to live in seclusion," Sangsang said melancholically, her lips curling into a cruel smile, "I carried that person's child, guess what? That person was in cahoots with the Meishan Mountain Sorcerer... my child was a medicinal fetus... can you imagine it... Madam of the Snake Lord... ha ha ha ha... ha ha ha..."
The frenzied, piercing laughter echoed throughout the entire deserted mansion.
