My Demon Husband Is a Snake

Chapter 1077: Are You Trying to Burn Me Alive?

Chen Decheng awkwardly scratched his head, losing a few more strands from his already thinning top, "How did this become about me? When I was young, I was quite the hottie, and my hair was plentiful too."

"Oh? Really? How come I remember you looking quite mature even in your youth?" Chen Shufen teased with a smile.

Chen Decheng pouted, "Honey, at least spare me some dignity."

"Hahaha." The room erupted in laughter, especially Xiao Li, whose voice was so loud it was like a boiling kettle.

Seeing the little girl return to her carefree self, I couldn’t be more relieved.

Thinking about Xiao Li and Beichen in Z City, they must have persuaded Xiao Li’s parents.

After the dinner party ended, Chen Decheng and his wife tidied up the mess.

Xiao Li, being loyal, helped me carry the man with the large snake tail upstairs. His snake tail was exceptionally long and thick.

Though he looked skinny, with the tail, he weighed at least four hundred pounds.

Even with my great strength, carrying this guy upstairs with Xiao Li still left me sweating buckets.

"I’m exhausted, I’m going for a shower, then I’m off to find my Brother Chenn." Xiao Li cheekily blew me a kiss and dashed off.

I closed the bedroom door and watched the moonlight fall on the man sleeping on the bed.

His white scales shimmered brilliantly under Qiong Hua; after drinking, his pale skin had a rosy flush.

This guy doesn’t practice Spiritual Power, and I can’t figure out the source of his strength.

The moon in the sky was nearly full.

But it was clear to see his power waning; for instance, he slept more in the daytime, two sips of alcohol and his snake tail would uncontrollably grow larger, and he shivered uncontrollably every midnight...

Maybe there’s no need to wait for the full moon night; now might be the chance?

I fished out a fire charm drawn for me by Yu Longting, holding it between two fingers, "Huh, the yin and yang of Ho Ho, the sun rises in the east, decree to take this charm, sweep away all misfortune..."

"Hmm, playing with fire in the middle of the night, be careful not to wet the bed." The man’s drawn-out voice suddenly sounded, startling me to burn my finger with the flame of the self-igniting fire charm.

For the first time getting burned by my own fire, I blew frantically on the reddened spot on my finger, "Ouch, ouch, ouch~"

He must be pretending to sleep, so deeply asleep.

I wasn’t even chanting that loudly, how did he wake up just as I was about to finish!!

The man, with sleepy eyes, rubbed them, retaining a bit of childish innocence, but when he saw me blowing on my finger continuously.

His demeanor turned icy, his long tail hooked around my waist, pulling me towards him.

He lowered his head to inspect my wound, watching it slowly blister, "Are you a pig?"

"It’s just a small injury; compared to battles, killings, and family strife, this is nothing." I shook off his hand, propping myself beside his pillow, smiling softly at him.

Whenever I use this beauty trick, things easily turn from major to minor.

So, I’ve gotten used to doing this for convenience.

Suddenly, my shoulder was pressed firmly against the sheet, and the man tied my legs in a knot with his long snake tail.

Using his hand, he pinned my uninjured hand above my head.

Then, grasping the wrist of my injured hand, he scrutinized the wound, "Small injury? It’s blistered!"

"The blister will peel off in a few days anyway." Plus, whose fault is it that I got burned??

I grumbled defiantly in my heart.

The man had already bitten his finger, smearing the golden blood on my blister, "Can’t wait that long; it has to heal now. But you played with something resembling... the Chaos Fire born from the primordial universe. Heh, were you trying to burn me just now?"
