My Demon Husband Is a Snake-Chapter 1034: A Bit Too Obedient

"Monkey, go open the door." Qing Li casually ordered Yuan Hong.

Yuan Hong, face darkened, took off his Cultivation Spiritual Garment and reverted to a monkey.

He climbed up the tomb door, reaching the lock position.

He pulled a Golden Key out from the long hair on his waist and inserted it into the lock on the door.

With the sound of the mechanism turning, the thousand-pound stone door slowly opened.

"Grandma, the tomb door is open, be careful." I looked at Qing Li nervously, aware that cunning Demonic Caves inside the tomb might harm her at any moment.

Qing Li remained as calm as ever, seemingly unaffected, "Watch the monkey."

"Don’t worry, if Yuan Hong shows any sign of misbehavior, I’ll kill him." I keenly noticed the uncontrolled tremor in Qing Li’s arm within her sleeve.

I reached out to hold her hand, interlocking our fingers tightly.

The strands of Demonic Qi that seeped through the door slit were immediately neutralized by the Sharp Gold Aura emanating from me.

Qing Li’s eyes showed a hint of surprise as she subtly shifted her body’s weight towards me.

Being so close to the Demonic Cave made her involuntarily weak, "At crucial times, only you can be relied on."

Yuan Hong wanted to jump down from the door above but found the buoyancy too strong to descend.

He had no choice but to climb back down along the carved patterns on the stone door, obediently returning the way he came.

"Big Serpent, wait for us here, okay?" I knew well the importance of the Dust World Serpent at the very bottom of the Nether Spring.

Without the support of the Nether Spring Serpent, we wouldn’t even have the ability to float to the water’s surface.

For now, we could only plead with it to wait for us outside for a while.

The Dust World Serpent’s astonishingly large statue flickered with a red glow a few times, as if responding to my words.

A warm feeling filled my heart; it was clearly an inanimate object.

Yet, it felt like a friend or family member accompanying and helping me.

Falling into the Nether Spring Abyss was typically an extremely unfortunate incident, but at this moment, I felt inexplicably fortunate.

"Monkey, lead the way and block any traps we encounter." The moment Yuan Hong landed, Qing Li, who was half-asleep in my embrace, suddenly opened her eyes, her cold gaze falling on him.

Qing Li appeared to be weak as though a breeze could knock her down, yet she exuded a lazy and soft allure that was quite captivating.

Yuan Hong obeyed without question, resignedly walking ahead of us, "Yes, boss lady."

It seemed he hadn’t noticed Qing Li’s weakened state at all, only assuming she had become lazy.

As I stepped through the gate of King Yu’s Tomb, I felt like I had entered another world altogether, the air thick with the gloom of the tomb. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Strangely enough, the water from the outer Nether Spring couldn’t flow inside, making the gills on my neck a burden.

Breathing was hindered, causing my airways to feel as if they were being sanded back and forth.

Qing Li was already quite frail, and the gills made breathing difficult for her.

Her complexion turned completely pale, like gold paper, her legs giving way as she clung tightly to my neck, "Hold me."

"Mm." I was strong, plus I had Spiritual Power, so carrying Qing Li, who weighed less than eighty pounds, was a breeze.

All the Demonic Qi trying to invade Qing Li’s body was preemptively eradicated by my Sharp Gold Aura.

Qing Li entered a state of complete reliance on me, yet her body was incredibly relaxed, "Wanwan."

"Mm?" As I enjoyed stroking her silky-smooth hair, she interrupted me, making me feel a bit guilty.

Could it be that she caught me indulging in feeling her hair?

That would be too embarrassing; I found myself addicted to stroking my grandma’s hair.

But who could blame me when her hair had such an irresistible texture and a faint rose scent?

Luckily, Qing Li didn’t notice my little secret thoughts, letting out a soft laugh, "Don’t you think that Dust World Serpent listens to you a little too well? I think... it resembles Yu Longting."
