Chapter 1113: Is He Really His Father??
Wuyue intentionally left me hanging, speaking only halfway and then not saying anything for a long time.
I suspiciously glanced back, almost scared out of my wits.
The corridor upstairs suddenly transformed into a bottomless tunnel, and before me appeared a face so handsome that it seemed to wither everything around it.
He looked exactly like Yu Longting, with a gentle smile like a trickling stream between his brows and eyes.
Yet his methods were terribly ruthless, as he smilingly thrust his long fingers through Wuyue’s neck, blood flowing through the gaps between his fingers, "I heard... you devoured my son’s soul? Is it true?"
"Husband, it was him—kill him directly!" Qing Li’s cold voice unequivocally declared.
I quickly collected myself, grabbing Yu Qingxiao’s sleeve to prevent him, "Don’t... don’t kill him, he hasn’t done anything."
Only then did I truly realize Yu Qingxiao’s immense power, as he stood there appearing weak.
But a powerful and mysterious being like Wuyue became as helpless as a chick, his eyes wide open as he coughed up blood.
He couldn’t move at all, or even speak complete words.
"He did it! If he hadn’t absorbed the boss’s soul, how could a human snake dormant for ten thousand years awaken? Kill him to avenge our son." Qing Li was deaf to my words, once again demanding Yu Qingxiao take action.
It turned out Qing Li had left during this time just to seek reinforcements and find her husband Yu Qingxiao to save Yu Longting.
I was so anxious it felt like my internal organs were burning in a fiery blaze, my eyes reddened as I pleaded, "Listen to me, I’m Yu Longting’s lawful wife. If he really did anything to Yu Longting, how could I stop you?"
"Get... get it straight, it was the White Snake’s primordial spirit that possessed me, cough cough cough..." Wuyue’s neck was pierced, coughing blood while his forehead veins bulged in anger.
Yu Qingxiao’s expression momentarily went blank, even his usual warm smile froze, "Uh, it seems we really got it wrong, wife, it was our son who forced himself on another."
"Hmph! Our son was full and bored, why would he possess a human snake’s body?" Qing Li snorted softly, "Only a human snake reincarnates needing to absorb soul power, are you really the father, do you care for your son?"
Watching what seemed like a typical marital quarrel, I almost couldn’t help but facepalm, "Dragon Emperor, don’t you know why Yu Longting possessed Wuyue? Stop pretending! It was you who tricked Yu Longting into the Nether Pond, trapping him there."
"So it was you, Yu Qingxiao, you actually learned to lie and deceive me?!" Qing Li’s face froze over in a wrathful rage as she twisted Yu Qingxiao’s ear at a hundred and eighty degrees on the spot.
Yu Qingxiao’s features twisted in pain, pleading, "Wife, don’t be angry, ouch, my mother, I’m innocent, I really didn’t send Yu Longting to the Nether Pond? This is too ridiculous, isn’t it?!"
"Without you telling him about the Demonic Cave arising in the gloomy, dark depths of the Nether Pond, how would he know?" Qing Li not only twisted his ear but also kicked Yu Qingxiao.
Yu Qingxiao obediently knelt on the ground, with none of the mysterious, immortal aura seen before, appearing just like a henpecked husband, "I only mentioned it in passing as a lesson, I never told him to go there. Who knew he’d stupidly go there on his own."
"Yu Longting... must’ve felt guilty, he didn’t know the meaning of excavation before, so he tried every means to escape, later wanting redemption and to make amends." I didn’t really know if Yu Longting wanted redemption, but I was skilled at speaking kindly in front of others.
If I could appease the powerful father and mother-in-law, maybe they could think of a way to help bring Yu Longting back.
