My Demon Husband Is a Snake-Chapter 1008: It’s So Hard Being an Old Man!

Huang Wude’s face turned even redder as he anxiously shook his leg.

It seems the potion’s effects have kicked in...

I felt a bit uneasy and guilty inside, "You didn’t drink Yuan Hong’s concoction just to avoid arousing his suspicion, did you?"

"I’ve always drunk it in the past. If I suddenly stopped now, he’d get suspicious, which wouldn’t be good for your tasks." Huang Wude was drenched in sweat, looking at me with increasingly longing eyes.

But his hands were placed on his knees, tightly gripping his kneecaps.

I didn’t know if it was because I had beaten him into submission or if he really learned to respect someone.

I kept thinking about ways to alleviate Huang Wude’s discomfort and asked, "Why... why are you helping me so much?"

"I used to hang out with the Old White Ape because we were alike, not because of any deep feelings." Huang Wude kept swallowing, his gaze sweeping up and down my chest, "But I’m serious about you; it was love at first sight. You... you came to Wind Spirit Manor for King Yu’s Tomb, right?"

"King Yu’s Tomb..." I wasn’t sure if it was a lucky guess, but our group’s purpose for coming to the Central Plains was indeed for King Yu’s Tomb.

However, I never imagined that Yuan Hong would have any connection to King Yu’s Tomb, or that Wind Spirit Manor would be related.

I pondered for two seconds and nodded, "Well, sort of. Hey, you’re bleeding from your nose."

"I’ve been using my spiritual power to suppress the potion’s effects, but just hearing your voice, feeling your presence, and seeing your beautiful face makes my blood boil, oh!!" Huang Wude wiped his nosebleed and cried out loud, "It’s too hard for me, oh dear!"

"In that case, how about I leave this room temporarily and explore the manor on my own? That way, I can do my own thing without disturbing you." I thought I had come up with a perfect solution.

"No, Waner, absolutely not." Huang Wude immediately rejected my idea, clutching his lower abdomen with one hand and waving the other, "If you go out, Yuan Hong’s spies will know. He’ll suspect your identity, and you’ll be in danger at Wind Spirit Manor! You need to wait until he believes we’re really in love before you can continue with your tasks."

"Well... okay, I’ll stay." I watched as Huang Wude used all his strength to restrain himself, and my impression of his previously annoying, oily demeanor improved greatly, "Ding dong! I’ve thought of another solution. This one is sure to work and will definitely calm you down without further suffering~"

"Really? Then I won’t hold back, Waner. I’ll be very gentle with you, not worse than the Snake Lord’s service." Judging by his excited expression, he surely got the wrong idea. Huang Wude eagerly started to undress.

He was about to strip completely in front of me, and I hurriedly slapped a Binding Talisman on his forehead, "Hey, I didn’t mean serving you in bed! Ugh, I just want to help suppress the potion’s effects, not sell myself."

"Ah...? Then you better let me suffer; at least I can fantasize a little." Huang Wude said with disappointment, still hoping for some lucky imagination.

It made my skin crawl, so I pulled out a water talisman and a Calming Incantation, "No way, you must calm down, or I’ll break your legs and send you to be a door god."

I threatened Huang Wude fiercely, causing him to tremble and nod repeatedly like a little quail.

"These are the water talisman and the Tranquility Talisman. Wrap the power of the Calming Incantation in cold water to help relieve the effects of the medicine." I cast the two talismans, performing the newly learned hand seals.

Although I was slow, I managed to complete it before the talisman paper fell to the ground.

As if alive, the talisman paper flew back to my fingertips and sprayed out a fountain.

The fountain sprayed onto Huang Wude’s face, and he actually moaned softly, "Hey, Waner, keep going. This water has your aura; it feels so good..."

"Ha! You’re just an old lecher; even the Calming Incantation doesn’t work. I have a bigger move." I took out my phone and opened my photo album, "This is how I looked after contracting the Blood-weeping Syndrome. Though my figure and looks have changed, surely with your power as the Yellow Immortal, you can recognize me, right?"
