My Demon Husband Is a Snake-Chapter 1009: Loyalty and Righteousness Both Achieved??

"It truly does calm the mind!" Huang Wude’s eyes widened as he stared at my phone screen.

Drops of water fell from his black hair, the unnatural blush on his face fading.

I handed him the phone and instructed, "Focus on it without distraction; it’ll help you clear your mind and reduce desires."

"What if I feel like throwing up?" Forced to look at a photograph of someone so ugly it made him doubt life, Huang Wude’s lips twitched.

His face turned greener and greener, making him feel nauseous.

I quickly objected, "That won’t do. If Yuan Hong finds vomit stains in the room and suspects me, what then?"

"Alright, I’ll endure it, but it’s really too ugly; my eyes are about to go blind." With aesthetic standards that emphasize beauty, Huang Wude felt tortured, experiencing agony beyond words.

Sitting across the round table, I rested my chin in a carefree manner, "Hey, what’s the connection between Yuan Hong and King Yu’s Tomb?"

"You’re here at King Yu’s Tomb to hunt treasure and don’t know Yuan Hong’s identity??" Huang Wude was shocked, blurting out.

He immediately covered his mouth, retching, tears being squeezed out from discomfort. "Yuan Hong is the Tomb Guardian of King Yu’s Tomb."

I thought this must be a case of searching high and low without results. "Is King Yu’s Tomb nearby?"

"No, it’s beneath Wind Spirit Manor. Wind Spirit Manor is built over King Yu’s Tomb." Seeing me pause to ponder, Huang Wude added, "Don’t be fooled by the Old Ape’s malicious acts, though; it’s a loyal and righteous creature, much like myself. It has guarded this place since the early Shang and Zhou periods, never leaving." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Loyal and righteous?? Is Huang Wude misunderstanding this phrase?

But seeing him speak so seriously, I refrained from arguing.

I tapped my finger on the table, hatching a plan to save someone while exploring the tomb, killing two birds with one stone. "Is King Yu’s Tomb built inside the mountain’s belly?"

Xiao Shenshen and Yu Rongling should both be in Wind Spirit Manor. As long as I find that thread leading into the manor, I can follow it to locate them.

Once I explore the tomb, wouldn’t that accomplish two tasks at once??

The moment the thought arose, something magical happened.

A red thread formed from blood wrapped around the finger I had placed on the table.

The thread held the warmth and stickiness of blood.

But it was indeed concealed by a Spell; Huang Wude couldn’t see the thread.

That... is Qing Li’s blood!!

She’s marked me with an Art imprint, so these blood-colored Spider Silk threads obey my commands.

This Art seems simple, but it’s probably consumed a lot of Qing Li’s blood.

She’s always so aloof, not saying a word about her own sacrifice.

"Hehe, Waner, you’re really smart~" Huang Wude seemed to be slowly getting used to the ugly faces in the album, smiling foolishly. "Later, I’ll go eat with Yuan Hong; you can just refuse. That stuff isn’t for you to eat; the Old Ape won’t force you or suspect anything."

I had a bad feeling in my gut, "Okay, thank you."

Could Huang Wude be talking about... cannibalism...?

"Waner, even when you’re ugly, you’re ugly in a unique way, quite beautiful. It’s beautifully ugly!" Huang Wude held the phone, even licking the screen. "In King Yu’s Tomb, if you want to take something, take it; if you can’t carry it, I’ll help you figure out a way to move it!"

The wheel of fortune has spun, and now it’s my turn to feel nauseated.

After leaving Wind Spirit Manor, I’m definitely switching to a new phone!!

Huang Wude’s sense of aesthetics must be distorted; staring at such a terrifyingly ugly photo, he actually... slowly finds it... beautiful??

What’s the logic in this!

"No thanks needed for great kindness; I owe you a favor. I’ll be sure to repay you wholeheartedly in the future." I’m not someone who keeps people hanging around as a backup plan. For Huang Wude’s wholehearted help, I will certainly repay the kindness.

Just then, there was a knock at the door, and a maid’s voice came through, "Boss Huang, my master is waiting for you in the banquet hall. Once you and Madam are finished, just head over there."
