My Demon Husband Is a Snake-Chapter 836: Am I Going to Be Silenced?

"What... Qing Li, I don’t know... You’re accusing me wrongly." Liu Hongluan said in terror, suddenly bending over and retching, "Ugh~ 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

The veins on her arm bulged continuously as she tightly squeezed her collar.

I noticed Liu Hongluan’s abnormal state and said to Liu Xianzhi, "Xianzhi, take her pulse."

"Yes." Liu Xianzhi walked over and took Liu Hongluan’s pulse.

He came over and whispered to me that the peasant woman Liu Hongluan possessed is pregnant.

The peasant woman, driven by maternal instincts to protect her child, strongly rejected Liu Hongluan, and Liu Hongluan was wrong for wanting a body so badly.

I slowly exhaled a foul breath, "Find her another body, and have your Disciples of the Horse Immortal safely escort the peasant woman back home."

"Alright." Liu Xianzhi complied once more.

After a full half-hour of screaming, Liu Hongluan finally adapted to the small red snake’s corpse that Yu Rongling found.

She lay limp on the cold ground, without an ounce of extra strength.

Only Liu Xianzhi was left around; other disciples of the Snake Sect had left.

I sat on a nearby chair, silently observing her, "Do you really not know Qing Li? Or are you deliberately arguing?"

"I really don’t know... Lady of the Snake Lord, I know you hate me, not even wanting to let me go in death, but if you want to convict me, you’ll find a reason!" Liu Hongluan said in extreme angst.

For a moment, I even doubted myself, wondering if I had wrongly implicated Liu Hongluan in my nightmarish experiences.

I lowered my eyes, remembering the fight with Zhang Zidao, the piercing Sharp Gold Aura in his eyes.

That aura could shake the hearts of enemies and was especially effective against monsters and gu attacks.

At that moment, the same golden glow tinged my eyes, "Really? You’ve been in the Snake Sect for so long, liked Yu Longting for so long, and you don’t even know Qing Li is Yu Longting’s mother?"

"Wha... what? The madwoman in the Lin Family Loft is the Snake Lord’s..." Liu Hongluan either slipped or was intimidated by the Sharp Gold Aura in my eyes and exclaimed out loud.

Then, realizing she blurted something out, her snake eyes flickered as she tightly closed her mouth.

A fire of anger burned within me; so she was playing dumb with me here, "I’ll give you one last chance, tell me everything you know."

"I... I know nothing... Uncle, save me... Uncle Xianzhi..." Liu Hongluan stubbornly refused to speak, even crawling to Liu Xianzhi’s feet, pleading.

Liu Xianzhi’s elegant face turned dark as he said to me, "Madam, shall we use torture?"

Seeing her crawl to Liu Xianzhi’s feet, hearing this, Liu Hongluan retreated a few more steps in terror.

It seemed she never expected her uncle to give such a dreadful order.

Now, she was utterly isolated, her closest ties severed.

"Torture?" I looked at the weak red snake on the ground, momentarily unable to think of any way to execute such a punishment.

Liu Xianzhi saw through my thoughts and said, "Madam, don’t worry, I have experience in this area."

I knew I shouldn’t, but my heart couldn’t bear it.

Liu Hongluan, killed by her beloved, was already tragic enough.

Must she be tormented still?

The image of the headless baby and the man on Liuyin Mountain walking towards me with a coat flashed in my mind...

Though these memories were vague, I knew well enough in my heart.

The power sealing my memories is dwindling, signifying I’m on the brink of recovery.

And all I can do is protect my child.

The prerequisite is to uncover the truth behind all these mysteries!!

Only by knowing the truth can I determine my next course of action.

A moment’s hesitation, and I said heavily, "Alright, I’ll go back to sleep, let me know when there’s a result."

"Madam, I’ll escort you, um... by the way... I, I won’t be silenced, right?" Liu Xianzhi casually formed a hand seal, trapping Liu Hongluan in a formation within the cell, cautiously helped me up, and timidly asked.

I was slightly surprised, seeing his ashen face, I realized he feared knowing too much about Qing Li, "What do you think?"

"Haha, I’m a bit scared, you know." Liu Xianzhi said, his face pale, clearly frightened out of his wits.

"No one else can know, I’ll keep it from the Snake Lord for you."

"Alright, alright, I promise not to tell anyone, not even my own mother!"
