My Demon Husband Is a Snake

Chapter 1075: You Can Only Leave After I Fall Asleep

"Yes, Wuyue and I are husband and wife. He is the beloved I’ve always told you about." I had no choice but to bravely mix truth with falsehood.

Beichen’s expression froze for a moment, saying coldly, "If he is your beloved, then what does that make the Snake Lord?"

Even Yu Rongling understood such a blatant hint.

Why couldn’t Beichen, always so shrewd, see through it, and instead he readily undermined me?

Before returning to Spring Wind Town, I especially missed the busy yet very warm days of the past.

But upon returning, it was like a catastrophe!

Is there anyone more miserable than me?

The greatest pain in the world is to be misunderstood by someone you care about.

Yet, there is no way to explain...

"What does it make him? An abandoned ex, perhaps? How about it? Standing up for him?" I twirled a strand of the man’s long hair, idly playing with it. "Please step aside, we need to go in and rest."

"And if I don’t, what can you do to me?" Beichen, fervently protective, coldly challenged me.

Xiao Li stood by, completely puzzled, seemingly without a clue of what was going on.

"Troublesome Living Dead." The man, while playing with the flower hairpin in my hair, swept his gaze at Beichen, never sparing a glance for anyone else.

The moment his sharp, cold gaze shot forth, my heart tightened.

To prevent emotional exposure, I deeply lowered my eyelashes.

The moment Beichen met the man’s gaze, he dropped abruptly to the ground like a cut kite.

"Brother Chen... Brother Chen, what’s wrong? Don’t scare me!" Xiao Li crouched down, urgently helping the suddenly fallen Beichen, crying out.

I closed my eyes for a moment, hooked the man’s arm, and smiled softly at him, "Let’s go upstairs."

"Not angry, are you?" The man half-smiled, a hint of suspicion on his face.

I stepped out with the Golden Lotus Step, at a speed the human eye could hardly catch.

Passing through the dining hall, arriving at the door of the dormitory where we used to stay, "You can untie him later, what do I have to be angry about."

Taking out the key from my pocket, I inserted it into the lock.

Perhaps out of fear of returning home, finally going back to the place where Yu Longting and I spent countless nights.

Inside, there’s a sense of excited anticipation, but also an inexplicable fear.

Like there’s a beast chasing in the darkness behind, ready to devour me if I slow down.

"Actually, the life I want isn’t like this," the man murmured.

I paused in unlocking, slightly puzzled by his words.

Life??

How could a king of the Human Snake Clan in the Abyss suddenly express such a sentiment that doesn’t fit his identity and experience?

What kind of life does he want?

Surely not the simple, mediocre life of ordinary people like me, yearning for plain food and an uneventful existence?

The door opened, and a gust of dusty air rushed out from inside.

I entered, opened the curtain for ventilation, tossed the key onto a nearby table, "You lie down and sleep for a while, I’ll go out and buy fish for you."

"This bed is comfortable." Without needing me to say anything, the moment he entered, he lay down, "Strange, it has a scent I like."

"Hey... What are you doing?" I had just taken a sunscreen jacket from the wardrobe, ready to head out.

My waist was gently pulled by the Snake Tail, and I was taken to the bed, lying next to the man.

The man turned sideways, pinching my chin, "Wait until I fall asleep before you go."

"Okay." I closed my eyes, without any struggle or resistance.

In just three days, everything will end.
