My Demon Husband Is a Snake

Chapter 1057: Silly Child, I’m Feeding You

I understand the Snake Tribe thoroughly.

If the seven inches and the heart are both hit, they will instantly die.

Indeed, that Snake Lady’s venomous fangs were still some distance from me; her body quickly shriveled into a layer of skin, wrapping around the bones.

She couldn’t even return to her zombified state, standing beautifully in the corridor for thousands of years.

Just like a withering leaf, she gently fell to the ground.

I, on the other hand, was exhausted, drenched in sweat, gasping on the ground.

The Human Snake Clan naturally has a human head and snake body and is not a member of the demon clans.

So I dared not use the Lin Family’s Demon Breaking Begonia Hairpin, fearing it might fail and backfire when countering an enemy.

Spiritual Power materializing into physical form is useful but immensely drains the body.

At this moment, my vision gradually blurred, and I could feel another human snake drawing soul power from me.

But for me to use Spiritual Power to materialize again is obviously unrealistic.

I have no extra strength left...

In a daze, I saw Qing Li licking her lips with a crimson tongue, saying, "Those who flaunt will be flaunted in return."

I had only heard of "Those who love are loved in return."

This... Qing Li must have crafted the saying herself, right...?

But what does it mean, what’s all this about flaunting~?

My consciousness gradually weakened, and my thoughts stalled.

Qing Li transformed from dry and slender to full-bodied.

Even the dark circles from her sleepless nights faded, and her whole state was radiant, unbelievably beautiful.

The red spiders on her arms emerged, and a blood-red spider silk shot from her fingertips.

Like threading a needle, the spider silk consecutively pierced the seven inches and heart of another human snake, then it entered my heart.

"Ow, ow, ow~~ Grandma, I’m not an enemy, why are you piercing me with spider silk?" My heart felt like it had been pricked with a fine needle, not very painful, but I felt deeply unsettled.

Qing Li bent down, pinched my chin, and lifted it, "Silly child, I’m feeding you."

"Feeding me??" I was puzzled for a moment.

Suddenly, my entire body’s meridians became scorching, and I immediately understood what was happening.

After I pierced the Snake Lady’s two vital points just now, she instead became a mummy.

It wasn’t a natural change; Qing Li had flaunted all her nutrients.

So, she was forcing me to flaunt the nutrients of another Snake Lady.

Mm~ why does it feel a bit disgusting~?

Due to a massive influx of unfamiliar energy, I blanked out for a moment.

When I regained consciousness, the narrow corridor held only myself.

The dome remained grimly dark, and blue phosphorescent ghost lights illuminated the palace around.

The red spider silk at my heart was still there, connected to a dried-up human snake corpse, but Qing Li was nowhere to be seen.

"Grandma, where did you go? Why did you leave without notice, were you captured by a monster?" My gaze dimmed, and I pulled out the Begonia Hairpin from my hair, severing the spider silk, "Qing Li, come out! Leaving without telling is fun for you, huh?"

In this Moonless City’s palace, there was utterly no living creature, Qing Li just flaunted a whole human snake; she’s strong now, it’s impossible she was silently abducted.

Feeling an emptiness like being hollowed out, a foreboding crept over me.

She likely went to find the great hall appearing in her dreams, to seek out the man inside it.

After killing these two human snakes, Qing Li must have realized something in her heart.

That’s why she decided to leave me and venture out alone.

With that thought in mind, I stepped over the corpse on the ground, swiftly heading towards deeper parts of the palace.
