My Demon Husband Is a Snake
Chapter 72: A Fine Snake, How Did It Grow a Mouth?
Immortal Liu's face darkened, "Give me a reason."
"If you stay here any longer, Spring Wind Town will become barren." Yu Longting spoke heavily.
"I'm not leaving!" Immortal Liu suddenly felt aggrieved, rolling on the sofa, "I'm quite comfortable living in this house, why should I move because of people who have nothing to do with me."
The implication was simple, the fate of everyone in Spring Wind Town had nothing to do with Immortal Liu.
Yu Longting watched coldly as Immortal Liu threw a tantrum, his fingers gently tapping on the coffee table. When Immortal Liu finally found it pointless and stopped, he spoke softly, "It's not for people unrelated, my wife will live here. Are you sure you don't want to take the chance to owe you a favor?"
The reluctant expression on Immortal Liu's face vanished instantly, and she sat up limply, "I want you to do something for me right now."
Yu Longting said, "Speak."
Immortal Liu said, "I want the North Sea Snake Dragon Pearl, to reshape my grandson's snake body."
Yu Longting replied, "Deal, but you have to move out now."
Immortal Liu said, "I'll move, but are you really sure you want to be with this Spiritual Girl?"
"Um, senior, is there anything wrong with him being with me?" I spoke before Yu Longting could answer.
Could being with me harm Yu Longting?
That wouldn't do.
Immortal Liu laughed heartily, "Hahaha, of course it's bad, very bad. The Snake Lord might not truly love you but instead is after the spiritual power inside your Spiritual Girl body, to advance his cultivation... What's with that look? Shouldn't you be panicking, shocked, scared?"
My eyes lit up, looking up at Yu Longting.
It seems I'm not completely useless...
"Silly girl, I won't take away your spiritual power." Yu Longting wrapped his arms around my head, speaking softly, and then addressed Immortal Liu, "Why do you even say such things to her? My wife here thinks with holes in her brain, she'd love to help me with my cultivation, I really can't even."
Immortal Liu stared blankly, then roared, "I'm the one—I've never been so speechless in my life. At this old age, I still have to get slapped in the face with this cold dog food, damn it."
"We're leaving. In half a month, the North Sea Snake Dragon Pearl will be yours." Yu Longting pulled me and turned to leave.
Immortal Liu called out slowly from behind, "This Spiritual Girl's body you cherish, many demons and monsters covet it, she's bound to run into endless trouble in the future. Do you really want to attend to each one personally? Aren't you afraid of dying from exhaustion?"
"Thanks for the reminder. Whoever wants to touch my wife, I'll deal with them one by one." Yu Longting didn't even look back, pulling me straight out of the Zhou Family's house.
The Zhou Family's house was filled with a chilling yin energy.
Outside, the warm sunlight made my body feel warm and cozy.
"Why are you crying?" Yu Longting looked down just then and saw the tears on my face, his fingertip brushing away a tear.
I hugged him tightly, as if only by gripping him tighter and tighter could I mend the sudden tear in my heart, "I...want to give you my spiritual power. It shouldn't affect my body if you don't drain it completely."
This guy had been silently doing so many things.
But he never talked about it. I always heard about it from other people.
"I really want to kill this Immortal Liu, a perfectly good snake, why did it have to grow a mouth?" Yu Longting cursed quietly, rubbed my head, and picked me up, "You think I don't want to absorb it? Your spiritual power is still too scarce right now, I'll definitely absorb it once it's fattened up,"
"How do I accumulate more spiritual power? I don't really understand these things, can you enlighten me?" I looked at Yu Longting with an eager face, but his gaze grew colder, colder than a millennia-old glacier in the Arctic.
Did I say something wrong?
