My Demon Husband Is a Snake-Chapter 840: Madam Fights If She Must
"What?" Chang Hao, with wisdom marinated over millennia, now finds his dying self led by the nose by a junior like me.
I shrugged, articulating powerfully, "You haven’t seen the Snake Sect settling accounts with those Yellow Skins, an uplifting scene."
"Settle accounts with them? Is that possible? They have grown formidable." Chang Hao’s murky snake eyes grew moist, steeped in despair, "And we have suffered heavy casualties... defeated, with the Snake Lord absent..."
I deftly pinned my long hair with a flower hairpin, "Tonight, I’ll lead you back to fight. How they oppressed us in the past, we’ll reciprocate in full measure."
"But, but Madam, behind the Yellow Immortal... they have strong backing! And until now, I haven’t found out... what force supports them." Tears streamed down Chang Hao’s eyes, mixed with two decades of repressed sorrow and impotence.
In his heart, he knew deeply why the Snake Sect had been oppressed for over twenty years.
The snakes of the Snake Sect knew it too, yet no disciple ever blamed me.
I myself emerged from the guilt the Su Family held against Yu Longting, yet to see the Snake Sect bullied to a dead end by a group of Yellow Skins.
Even their pillar, Chang Hao, was secretly cursed.
He was nearly severely injured and died miserably, not to mention the many other Snake Tribe members killed by the Yellow Skins, and the territory they seized...
If we don’t rise to resist in such a situation, then there’s not a drop of courage left in our veins!
I watched as the wound on Chang Hao, invaded by malevolent forces, healed inch by inch, even staunching the bleeding, "Elder Chang, how are your injuries?"
"My... my injuries, my wounds... are fine now, the internal injuries... are nearly healed." Chang Hao exclaimed in a low voice, his face more surprised than joyous, "I don’t have to die?"
Yu Rongling sniffed with a reddened nose and interjected, "What you’re wearing is the Cultivation Spiritual Garment personally made by my sister-in-law with the Yin Yang Life and Death Embroidery. Even if you’ve no breath left, it could snatch you back from the Hall of the Yama King."
"Uh, it’s not quite that exaggerated. If there’s no breath left, the Cultivation Spiritual Garment might not do, you’d need the Reincarnation Garment." I feared Yu Rongling might overpraise me, so I explained.
Chang Hao was in a daze for a moment, then heavily gave himself a slap.
Both Yu Rongling and I were startled.
I said, "Old gentleman, what are you doing? Why, why hit yourself?"
"Maybe... did he hit his skull during a fight?" Yu Rongling pondered, stroking his chin.
Chang Hao glared at Yu Rongling, then sighed wistfully, "I thought I was dreaming, turns out it’s not a dream, I haven’t died!! And I’ve healed from such grave injuries!! Not even in a dream would I dare imagine such a scenario, Madam’s Life and Death Embroidery is incredible! Today I’ve seen it all, like a ’Small Knife stabbing my rear, it opened my eyes’!"
"That’s right, no matter what backing those Yellow Skins have, our Snake Sect has my sister-in-law!" Yu Rongling proudly puffed out his chest, "With my sister-in-law here, we can exterminate them at any moment."
"Extermination is unnecessary, all things have spirits, heavy killing is unwise." I’ve always been more of a Buddhist temperament, and not very confident, yet without Yu Longting here.
The honor and decline of the Snake Tribe now rest on my shoulders, I must step forward courageously, "Just give them a taste of retribution, repay the blood debts from the past twenty years."
During this conversation.
Chang Hao’s grievous injuries that nearly took his life were almost healed.
His spirit soared, he boldly knelt on one knee before me.
Clasping his fists in a martial salute, his words were sonorous and forceful, "Madam, if you wish to battle, then let there be battle, I willingly serve as your vanguard."
"Give me a map of Liuyin Mountain, consolidate the troops, depart before dawn, and brief me on the Yellow Immortal and their situation on the way."
