My Demon Husband Is a Snake

Chapter 1079: Weakness During the New and Full Moon Periods

I felt a sinking in my heart and instinctively took half a step back.

Avoiding Beichen’s anger.

"Brother Chenn, you’re awake, huh? Why not sleep a little longer?" Xiao Li laughed awkwardly, standing between Beichen and me, acting as a buffer zone.

Beichen attempted to push Xiao Li aside to pick on me, "I’ve slept enough and don’t need any more sleep, get out of the way."

"Don’t blame Yuanyuan, it might not be her fault. A relationship should allow for breaking up, shouldn’t it?" Xiao Li hugged Beichen’s waist tightly and winked at me repeatedly, "Quickly go upstairs and don’t come down for a while, until Brother Chenn calms down."

"Oh, oh, oh, thank you, Xiao Li." Gratefully, I thanked her and hurried upstairs with small steps.

The reason I didn’t use the Golden Lotus Step was that I was worried Beichen might vent his anger on Xiao Li.

Beichen, unable to move when held by Xiao Li, became more irate and said coldly, "Anyone can break up in a relationship, except for Su Wan. Snake Lord has sacrificed too much for her."

"I know that, but feelings are a matter between two people, outsiders shouldn’t interfere." Xiao Li clung to Beichen’s embrace, coquettishly acting coy, "Don’t get involved, have you forgotten how good Yuanyuan has been to us?"

"Ah, you~" Faced with the soft plea of the young woman, Beichen could only helplessly sigh.

Seeing that Xiao Li and Beichen didn’t argue over me, I reassuringly quickened my pace back to the room, "I bought fish for you, they’re in the basin."

"Hmm." Came a muffled response from the bed, a man with his palm covering his eyes, detesting the daytime light.

I looked at the opened curtains, somewhat puzzled, "I didn’t open the curtains before I left, could it have been blown open by the wind?"

"I opened them, Su Wan, have you ever heard of a saying?" The man breathed a long, weary sigh, his magnetic voice languidly asking me.

I brought over the wooden basin to add water, pouring the newly bought African cichlids into it, "What saying?"

"Some things are desired when unattained, but once obtained, you might not appreciate them due to different habits." Like a philosopher, the man delved into profound words.

Raising his palm, he admired his slender fingers under the bright light.

In the brightness, his skin was almost translucently pale.

Startled, I blurted out, "Are you talking about the light?"

"I always feel I don’t have much time left, each day with light is one less day." The man, clearly tired, sat up with his head supported by his hand, appearing very despondent.

My heart skipped a beat, I tentatively asked, "Have you been feeling unwell lately? Why such pessimistic thoughts?"

"When a Human Snake leaves the underground, they become weak during new and full moon periods, their tail grows long and large, unable to move or eat." The man revealed his vulnerability without any guardedness, his cold gaze glanced at the basin with two fish, "At this rate, by afternoon, these fish will be oxygen-starved and belly-up."

"Then I’ll get an aeration stick for them, it’s not lucky to let the fish die." Knowing there’s a nearby fishing store, I ordered an oxygenation set via a delivery app, silently muttering to myself.

Is this man hitting me with the fish matter because he has seen through my assassination intent?

No, it doesn’t seem like a reprimand, more like he’s feigning pitifulness.

Given his current power, if he realized my ill intentions.

There isn’t any need to feign vulnerability to elicit sympathy; he could easily kill me to eliminate future troubles...

In the afternoon, a short man in his thirties came to visit the Human Snake Man, immediately stating his request bluntly, "Master Wuyue, I have a humble request, to grow taller by... a few, no, ten, no, no, several dozen centimeters."
