My Demon Husband Is a Snake-Chapter 839: Responsibility
Hearing my words, the mortally wounded Chang Hao immediately became anxious, "Madam... no, that staff carries an ancient Yellow Immortal curse... My life is worthless, not worth implicating... Madam..."
"What Yellow Immortal curse, to a descendant of the Lin Family, it’s nothing but trifles and petty tricks," I gave Chang Hao a reassuring look.
Having heard my arrogant words, Chang Hao’s snake eyes widened.
He stared blankly at me...
"You must believe that there’s always something to restrain another in this world, I’m an expert in exorcising evil and breaking demons." I walked to Chang Hao’s seven-inch point, bit my finger, and used the blood on my fingertip to draw a high-level Evil-Breaking Spell on my palm.
To be safe, I surrounded the staff’s top, bottom, left, and right.
With a greenish-blue cloth strip of Mystic Thunder for Evil Subjection, preventing evil energy from spilling over.
I steadied my spirit and grasped the staff with the hand that had the Palm Talisman drawn on it.
As spiritual power surged into my palm, it transformed through the Palm Talisman into sharp Demon-Breaking Power, "Hao Hao Yin Yang, the sun rises in the east, sweeps away ill omens, Po Qi for Swift Vajra, subduing demons, transforming into auspiciousness, urgently as by the mandate of law!!"
With a burst of golden light, Chang Hao let out a low roar.
The staff was uprooted by me!
The arrows embedded in Chang Hao lost their support as well.
Like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, they dropped from the snake body to the ground.
"Be careful... pfft..." Chang Hao coughed up blood, yet barely cared for himself, sternly warning me, "Be wary of the Green Core Stone on the staff; it is the heart of an ancient Yellow Immortal transformed, once touched it’ll entangle you for life, no end!!"
"The heart of an ancient Yellow Immortal, is it? It must be an extremely evil object, cannot be left!!" I removed the Begonia Hairpin from my hair, and the hairpin tip, imbued with Demon-Breaking and Sharp Gold Force, touched the green stone on the staff.
The stone shattered like glass with a crisp sound.
Chang Hao’s snake eyes widened so much they almost fell out.
His snake mouth gaped wide, unable to speak for a moment.
The other snakes stared at me like looking at a monster.
The night was deep and all around was deathly silent.
At that moment, a figure rushed over from a distance, tumbling to kneel by Chang Hao’s side, crying piteously, "Grandpa Snake, sob sob... my Grandpa Snake... you died so tragically, I haven’t had the chance to fulfill my filial duty, how could you leave like this!!"
"Uh, Rongling ah, cough cough... I still have a breath left." Without the restraint of the staff, Chang Hao’s gigantic snake body shrank countless times, turning into a withered old man lying on the ground.
Yu Rongling wiped tears with his sleeve, supporting Chang Hao, pinched his deeply wrinkled face, "Are you really dead? But... you’ve already dispersed your power, your blood has run dry, now it’s probably the last flicker before death."
"Even if I die now, heh heh... this old man can die in peace, with the Lady of the Snake Lord caring for you, caring for the Snake Sect, I can rest assured." At his last moments, Chang Hao wasn’t particular, not caring about Yu Rongling’s simpleminded actions, his face full of loving-kindness. His gaze slowly moved to me, and he said warmly, "Madam, with you, the Snake Sect has hit the jackpot."
The night wind brushed across, and my eyes felt like they had a brick in them.
Sour and astringent, yet I forced myself not to let tears fall.
Now, as the support of the Snake Sect’s serpentine members, there suddenly grew a sense of responsibility, unwilling to let my weak side be seen by others.
I kneeled down on one knee, draping the Cultivation Spiritual Garment over Chang Hao’s shoulders, "Elder Chang, I said I wouldn’t let anything happen to you as long as I am here. Any last words can be saved for next time... besides...
