My Demon Husband Is a Snake

Chapter 1059: Since She’s an Enemy, Letting Her Die Easily Would Be a Waste

In my heart, there was strong resistance, yet I acted contrary to it.

Grabbing the man’s collar, I continued to smile lightly at him, "Congratulations to my king, on regaining his memory. How did you wound the woman on the ground?"

"It’s truly miraculous, a thousand years have passed, and still... I’m drawn to you." The man’s face visibly showed a delightful smile, his snake tail tightened around my waist, not even glancing at the severely injured Qing Li on the ground. "That vile maid suddenly stabbed me with a hairpin, of course, I had to strike back."

At this moment, I roughly analyzed the current situation.

My chest swelled violently, and all the blood in my body flowed backward due to shock and anger.

The man before me might be the royal waiting to die in the Moonless City thousands of years ago. Somehow, he absorbed Yu Longting’s soul.

This led both Qing Li and I to dream of him simultaneously and strongly feel Yu Longting’s presence in the Moonless City.

To avenge her son, Qing Li left me and broke into the grand hall to assassinate this man.

This man seems entirely unaware that he absorbed another’s soul and integrated some incomplete memories.

He vaguely remembers my existence, but he mostly can’t recall the specific events.

And he mistakenly thinks that Yu Longting’s experiences are his own.

Why... Yu Longting’s primordial spirit... would appear in the Moonless City...

And was absorbed by this strange man?

For a moment, my heart was filled with despair and yet too afraid to be too sad.

Qing Li is too seriously injured; I must first find a way to save her.

Perhaps, if I kill this man, Yu Longting could return, but it might also be too late...

I can’t give up hope yet; I must be strong and withstand all despairing thoughts.

"My king, the woman on the ground and I are enemies." My acting experience is lacking, and gradually my facial expression became uncontrollably stiff, so I tried to maintain a seductive smile for the man. "She tried to assassinate you because she doesn’t want me to have a good life. As an enemy, dying easily would be such a waste."

This man appeared so strange, if I said Qing Li was my friend or family.

He might even start doubting my identity; perhaps it’s better to try the opposite approach.

"Then what do you want me to do?" The man seemed convinced that I was his wife, and the depth of his eyes transformed from a cold arrogance to an obsession.

To my words, he seemed to have an inexplicable willingness to comply.

I clutched my own thumb tightly and whispered, "Could you please help heal her?"

"Sure." The man agreed without hesitation.

The long tail coiled me onto his throne to sit, and he slithered down the steps with his serpentine body.

His fingers appeared smooth and pale, yet as sharp as a weapon.

Easily, he cut his own wrist and pried open Qing Li’s mouth.

Golden blood flowed from the vein into Qing Li’s mouth.

Seeing this scene, my pupils slightly contracted.

This man, so arrogant, hurt himself just because of my words to save my enemy.

Initially, I just thought the Human Snake Clan were ancient ancestors, and the Royal Family surely had special abilities, possibly even medical skills.

But I never imagined that their blood had healing powers.

The dying Qing Li barely opened her eyes, casting a cold gaze towards me.

After drinking the golden blood, she coughed lightly.

The cold paleness of her face turned to a healthy ruddy color, and she managed to crawl up, her eyes glinting with cold light, "Thank you, my king, for sparing my life."

"What’s there to thank? My wife wants to keep you around for slow torture, to make your life worse than death." The man nonchalantly waved his hand, sat back beside me, and with a frown, covered his chest and let out a muffled groan.
