My Demon Husband Is a Snake

Chapter 1187: Everyone Has Their Own Destiny

"No, no, no, I don’t want... any grand gifts. The words you said today will rot inside me, I will always be your slave, never to betray." Liu Hongluan’s face turned ashen, her eyes filled with immense fear, she pleaded miserably, "I only have this half-dead Primordial Spirit left, considering... I am also a part of the Snake Tribe, don’t kill me... Snake Lord!! We are all of the same kind, why press so urgently?"

Yu Longting pulled out a talisman paper with a fox’s shadow from his sleeve, mischievously saying to Qing Li, "What are you afraid of? I told you, you’d definitely like it. I wouldn’t deceive you. I’ve found someone to accompany you, an old acquaintance who once pursued you."

As the talisman paper lit up, a sneaky Silver Fox slipped out from it.

The fox had just moved its paws to run when Yu Longting grabbed its tail and lifted it up.

"Yu Longting, what tricks are you playing again?" The Silver Fox suddenly dangled in the air, helplessly kicking its four paws.

Baring its teeth in a very ferocious manner.

Qing Li scanned with a bored glance, "This fox looks somewhat familiar."

"The one raised by the old man in the past, its name borrowed from the old man," Yu Longting reminded.

Qing Li recalled something and touched her palm, "Oh, I remember, it seems to have bitten me once."

"You... you’re that woman!!" Xuanjing finally calmed down, looking at Qing Li in shock, "How is this jinx still alive??"

Xuanjing had always hated Yu Longting, all because Dragon Dad married a mortal back then.

As for Qing Li, Xuanjing felt she was unworthy of Yu Qingxiao, and the relationship between him and Qing Li was likely even more incompatible.

"Since I’m a jinx, of course, I am a disaster that lingers for a thousand years. If you die, I wouldn’t die." Qing Li snapped her fingers, deciding Xuanjing’s fate, "Wild fox, from now on follow Liu Hongluan and serve me."

At this moment, Xuanjing just heard Liu Hongluan’s name, and his pea-sized fox eyes darted around searching.

Finally saw Liu Hongluan, who was kneeling at Yu Longting’s feet, also looking stunned.

It seems Xuanjing did genuinely like Liu Hongluan, at least was particularly fond of her once. The fierce expression vanished without a trace, and there was warmth in his eyes.

Yu Longting lowered his head to explain to me, "Qing Li has this temperament, the bigger the grudge, the more she likes to keep them around to torment."

"Don’t call mother’s name anymore, call her mom." I sternly corrected Yu Longting, being a father, he should be more steady.

After a long, deep gaze exchange, Yu Longting finally yielded, "Eh, mom."

"Who are you calling mom??" Looking at Yu Longting talking to me, I always felt tricked by him, feeling awkward indescribably.

Yu Longting clicked his tongue and carried me upstairs, "You wouldn’t think it was you, right?"

"Not serious, what about Dumpling’s illness? We can’t just let him suffer forever, can we? He’s still so young." Knowing Dumpling’s torment has disturbed my peace of mind.

Regardless of the pain, as a mother, I’m willing to endure it for Dumpling.

Several snakes emerged in the corridor, carrying basins of hot water into the room.

In the dormitory, Yu Longting gently helped me wash my hair like before, "Didn’t Qing Li say she’d take care of it?"

"So... we won’t think of any way?" I looked down at the ripples in the water, blaming my heart for being too lax as a mother.

Dumpling has been uncomfortable all along, yet I completely failed to notice.

Yu Longting rinsed the conditioner out of my hair, the tip of his snake tail twisted around a towel to dry my hair.

His body had already extended with the snake tail outside to pour out the water.

After a long while, he returned.

I helplessly stared at him, "Yu! Long! Ting!"

Being a snake has advantages, having an extra tail allows absent-minded multitasking.

"Let me explain it to you this way." Yu Longting’s palm pressed on my half-dry head, "Everyone has their own fate, this is Dumpling’s destined tribulation, if you insist on interfering, perhaps you can only try to ease his pain."

"Easing is good, aren’t you thinking of any way?" I eagerly looked at Yu Longting, waiting for his answer.

Beichen stood at the door holding Dumpling, bowed slightly, "Snake Lord, following your instructions, I’ve brought Little Snake Lord."

"Give him to me, I’ll hold him." Yu Longting reached out and pulled Dumpling into his embrace, looking at me, "There’s a way, but I’m afraid you can’t bear it, Dumpling probably won’t agree."
