My Demon Husband Is a Snake-Chapter 1026: Still Not Grateful After This?

"If I lend you the Cultivation Spiritual Garment to help you extend your lifespan?" I stared into Yuan Hong’s shrewd eyes, and asked in a measured tone.

A spark of survival erupted in Yuan Hong’s simian eyes. "Really? But would you be so kind? I almost killed you."

"Of course not that kind-hearted, I need you to agree to one condition before I can save you." I looked at the Nether Spring above Yuan Hong’s head, as it engulfed his entire being, my heart skipped a beat.

Debating whether to pull him up first, and if he disobeys, kick him back down.

Suddenly a white light emerged underwater, and a head covered with long white hair suddenly popped out.

Yuan Hong lit a Life Lamp on his body, barely mustered his energy to temporarily dispel the vortex around him, managing to reveal half of his neck above the water’s surface, "Fine, what do you want me to do? As long as it’s not betraying my lord for glory, I can agree to any condition."

"It’s definitely not betraying your lord for glory, but my request is related to entering King Yu’s Tomb. Do you know why King Yu’s Tomb suddenly collapsed?" I was just like Yuan Hong before, racking my brains but unable to comprehend the reason.

Until Qing Li admitted it herself, that the mountain’s collapse was related to her approaching the Demonic Cave.

Following this clue, I engaged in a lot of divergent thinking, and finally figured out the cause and effect after climbing the statue of the Dust World Serpent.

Yuan Hong shook his head, and said solemnly, "If you know the reason, please tell me."

"In recent years, a Demonic Cave formed in King Yu’s Tomb." I watched Yuan Hong being drawn into a deeper vortex by the water of the Nether Spring, and reached out my hand to him.

Yuan Hong looked at my hand, hesitated for a moment, then grasped it firmly, "Demonic Cave?"

"The Demonic Cave is an avatar of the Demon Cave, you probably haven’t entered King Yu’s Tomb for a long time to investigate, so you didn’t notice." I didn’t pull Yuan Hong up, he had to verbally agree to help before I would really save him, "My grandmother Qing Li, merged with the Demon Cave, her portable Magic Artifact can purify and eliminate the Demonic Cave, do you understand what I mean?"

"Qing Li is your grandmother? Aren’t you Huang Wude’s woman?" Yuan Hong, inherently sinister and vicious, now looked at me with a naive curiosity, like a gossiping baby.

"That’s not the point, you’re on the brink of death, do you really want to waste time on irrelevant matters?"

I frowned, continuing to Yuan Hong, "Listen to me, that Demonic Cave has its own consciousness. The ground collapse we encountered was created by that Demonic Cave, its goal is to hide in the Nether Spring to avoid the fate of purification."

"Damn it! So it’s Big Sister Qing Li who caused the mountain to collapse." Yuan Hong, unable to suppress his anger, gnashed his teeth, interrupting me, and questioned Qing Li beside me, "Big Sister, why did you destroy my lord’s tomb?"

Still being unreasonable, is he?

Seeing my grip was slipping from holding onto Yuan Hong, I couldn’t persuade him any further.

I could only abandon the plan and leave him to his fate.

I gave Yuan Hong a hard slap on the cheek, trying to wake his muddled brain, "Why are you getting so worked up? Shut up and listen to me."

"You... you dare hit me... I’ll slay..." Yuan Hong, enraged, his soaked white fur bristled.

Trying to rise and kill me!

Unexpectedly confronting the Sharp Gold Aura in my eyes, he actually cowered, gasping, "Go on, then."

"The Demonic Cave was born from King Yu’s Tomb, it cannot leave King Yu’s Tomb. I believe King Yu’s Tomb is still here, directly beneath this Nether Spring." I witnessed King Yu’s Tomb collapse and fall, but for the Demonic Cave to survive, the tomb must maintain certain integrity.

Although I analyzed the current situation of King Yu’s Tomb, entering the tomb is no easy task, requiring Yuan Hong’s assistance.

But with Yuan Hong’s intelligence, if we don’t make our intentions clear...

With his stubbornness, he might rather die than take us into the tomb, I could only waste considerable time patiently explaining everything.

Yuan Hong gazed blankly at me, and after a long time, he opened his mouth slowly and asked, "Is your condition for saving me to have me take you to my lord’s tomb?"

"To be precise, it’s to find the tomb and purify the Demonic Cave. If you don’t agree, then there’s only one path left for you: death." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

I looked coldly at Yuan Hong. After all this talking, the Life Lamp ignited in Yuan Hong’s body was about to extinguish, and he would soon be too weak to resist being swept into the vortex.
