My Demon Husband Is a Snake

Chapter 1108: Just to Clarify, He’s Not My Man

"Mmm, just to clarify, he’s not my man, I was just acting before." To avoid further misunderstandings from Xiao Li, I whispered the truth to her.

Xiao Li seemed to choke on her own saliva, coughing heavily several times, "Cough, cough, cough... But Brother Chen said he’s the Snake Lord, and I heard you call him that too!"

"Yu Longting’s Primordial Spirit..." I whispered into Xiao Li’s ear, her originally large eyes grew wider and her little mouth opened wide enough to fit a goose egg.

Over there, the guests complained that the dishes were taking too long, prompting them to urge for service.

I diligently got busy and instructed Xiao Li, "Let’s chat after work, or the guests will grow impatient."

By the time we finished this round of work, it was already past two in the afternoon.

The three of us gathered for a meal, discussing Xiao Li and Beichen’s situation in Z City.

Xiao Li’s mom took Xiao Li’s photo to a matchmaking event without permission and caught the eye of a forty-year-old university lecturer.

The university professor owns a house and a car, with a Ph.D. degree.

Xiao Li’s mom saw him as a huge blessing for Xiao Li.

Beichen felt deeply ashamed, and at one point, contemplated giving up.

In Z City, Beichen quietly stayed below Xiao Li’s apartment, occasionally visiting her while she was asleep.

Later, he discovered Xiao Li’s matchmaking prospect was lousy and had violent tendencies.

After protecting Xiao Li once, Beichen proposed to her family.

The outcome was predictable; without revealing his wealth and education, Xiao Li’s family saw him as poor and pathetic.

They outright refused to let Xiao Li marry Beichen and forced her to marry the matchmaking prospect.

Eventually... the two ran back to Spring Wind Town...

That’s why Xiao Li’s parents brought a group of relatives to capture them later.

Reflecting on the twisting process, perhaps if Beichen had disclosed his background earlier, there might have been less trouble.

But he is naturally reserved, too introverted to show off.

It was Yu Longting who took a step forward, persuading Xiao Li’s materialistic family to agree to the marriage.

"Since Wuyue realized she was influenced by Snake Lord’s subconscious, helping set me and Brother Chen up, do you think she might regret it and propose to my family tomorrow?" Xiao Li stretched her neck, worriedly leaning closer to me.

Beichen, with a solemn expression, said, "Without him, can’t I propose by myself? What I’m really worried about is the Snake Lord. Snake Lord has a mental purity and despises becoming a Possession Immortal, and has never possessed anyone. Suddenly possessing a Human Snake, could he be in danger?"

Undoubtedly, fostered by Yu Longting, Beichen knows Yu Longting too well.

If not for dire circumstances, how could he possess somebody else?

It seems like Beichen discovered the link between Wuyue and Yu Longting the first time he met Wuyue.

He embarrassed me on the spot, perceiving I was acting deliberately.

The men around me prompted no concern from Yu Longting’s followers, raising suspicion.

His immediate reaction was, in fact, the most accurate judgment.

"Rest assured, the Snake Lord ran into some trouble initially, but it’s all resolved now. He’ll be back soon." I’ve decided not to tell Beichen and Xiao Li about Yu Longting’s situation at the Nether Pond.

Knowing Beichen’s level of loyalty, he would definitely seek a way to find Yu Longting.

I’m afraid it could be exceptionally dangerous...

As for going to the Nether Pond to find Yu Longting, I’ll handle it myself!

Beichen looked at me solemnly, not sure if he believed it, nodded slightly, "I’m relieved to hear Snake Lord is alright. If anything happens, don’t hesitate to speak up."

"Alright, Beichen, you must treat Xiao Li well in the future. If you ever dare to retreat again or say nonsense like being unworthy, I’ll bust your head!" I warned Beichen fiercely, almost leaving a last message, prepared for the possibility of finding the Nether Pond but not returning.
