"You had planned to kill Yu Longting long in advance, so the reason you killed him couldn't be Lin Gang's death! What deep-seated hatred do you have with Yu Longting... that compels you to put him to death?" And to use the most cruel method? Having me do it with my own hands...
As I faced the sight of Lin Xinmei tormented by Gu Poison, my heart felt not the slightest ripple.
All I wanted to know was the reason behind Lin Xinmei's poisonous scheme.
Lin Xinmei sneered, "Hehehe... had it not been for Yu Longting... bullying Qing Li's Mom, giving birth to the monstrous Lin Xintang, how would my Qing Li's Mom suffer life after life, confined in the Lin Family Loft."
I pursed my lips in silence, even Lin Xinmei believed that Yu Longting had an affair with Qing Li.
Lin Xinmei spat out a mouthful of blood, her frail body collapsing like a floating weed, and with her mouthful of bloody foam, she still sneered and mocked me, "Su Wan... you... are defending a Demon Snake that doesn't love you at all, your end will definitely be countless times uglier than mine..."
An end... countless times uglier?
At that moment, it was as though someone had struck a copper bell next to my ear, sending my entire soul into a shock.
Yet my hand subconsciously grasped Yu Longting's tightly. Let the world ruin him and slander him, I was determined to be the one who believed in him.
Yu Longting's fingertips lightly scraped the back of my hand, resting his chin on my shoulder, and with a sigh that only I could hear, he lamented, "Wife, my snake life before meeting you was lived in vain."
"Didn't I tell you to stop talking? Shut your mouth and rest in peace." My mind was in turmoil, and my manner toward Yu Longting was poor as I helped him towards the Waterside Pavilion.
"Oh my god, cousin, you scared me to death, I thought... just now you really had to choose between the Snake Lord and Aunt," Lin Hang arrived in a cold sweat, clutching the sleeping Xintang tightly to his chest, probably not even realizing his lips had turned frightfully pale.
I wasn't much better off, my eyes were vacant as if Lin Hang's voice was coming from a faraway place, and I didn't answer a single word, dizzy and disoriented.
Like a lost soul, I helped Yu Longting into my room in the Waterside Pavilion, and then my memory froze at the moment I helped him onto the bed, and then I knew nothing...
When I regained consciousness, I was nestled in the blankets.
Looking up, however, I saw a snake head with white scales, and subconsciously reached out to touch it.
The sleeping snake eyes opened, and the snake body slowly writhed to curl my body tightly, "Wanwan, you're finally awake. You didn't suffer any injuries, so why were you the one to faint?"
"Perhaps it was a bit of mental shock, sorry for worrying you." I rubbed my cheek against him, poor Yu Longting, hurt again and turned into a snake, "How long do you need to stay a snake?"
This was the Lin Family home, and I was somewhat uncomfortable with him being seen by the people of the Lin family like this.
The Lin Family was hostile towards the Demon Tribe, he was ostracized even in his human form, let alone in his snake form.
"I can already change back into a human, but... I think you prefer my snake form, so I kept it to stay with you," Yu Longting said as he rubbed back when I rubbed him.
I exhaled a breath of foul air lightly and embraced his snake body with both arms, "You've discovered even this secret obsession of mine, and I thought I had hidden it so well. Ah, it's probably because this is the real you, right? How's Xintang doing? Why has she been unconscious all this time?"
"She was poisoned, it's been cured, and Lin Hang is playing with her now," Yu Longting spoke in a hoarse voice.
I was in high spirits and laughed, "Eh, you really kept your promise and found Xinmei. Did you use Plum Blossom Easy Number to find her? My grandfather must have tried this method too, but you were the one who found her."
"Xuanjing erased her tracks, so the calculation required significant cultivation and more time. Lin Huan's cultivation was insufficient, thus only I could do it," Yu Longting explained narcissistically, then whispered by my ear, "Wanwan, how much longer do you want me to stay with you in my snake form?"
He obviously wanted to turn back into a human but also wanted to stay with me a bit longer in his snake form.
As if asking me to pick a number.
