My Demon Husband Is a Snake-Chapter 870: Something Is Fishy

The pain of reattaching a severed finger is second only to the reshaping of bones.

Lin Xintang was young, her tolerance far from adequate, and she fainted from the pain in Yu Rongling’s arms.

Yu Rongling held Xiao Xin Tang tightly, and soon he too fell asleep.

The sudden loss of a finger, combined with the need to use spiritual power to facilitate the fusion, took a significant toll on Yu Rongling’s body.

"Cousin, if Lin Xintang isn’t the daughter of the Snake Lord, could she be the Second Master’s?" Lin Hang stroked his chin, observing them for a while, then leaned over sneakily to try and get the truth out of me.

I didn’t want to satisfy this guy’s curious gossip, "Don’t bother me with trivial things, go play elsewhere."

Honestly, if I were Lin Hang, I wouldn’t be able to resist guessing either.

Yu Erhuo, who has always played around in the mortal world, living freely and unrestrained.

It’s the first time I’ve seen him care for someone so unconditionally.

"Trivial things?" Lin Hang crossed his arms, "You’re making a Life-extending Robe, aren’t you?"

"Ugh~" I got distracted for a second, and the needle tip pricked my finger.

I looked up, rolling my eyes at the overly clever Lin Hang, "Quite knowledgeable, aren’t you?"

This little brat, even if he’s seen through it, must he expose it?

"The Life-extending Robe requires a host to take effect, who are you planning to choose?" Lin Hang squatted down, looking me in the eye.

That sharp, sly look felt as though he was interrogating me.

I frowned, my head hurting from this kid’s extraordinary insight, and said sternly, "This is adult business, kids shouldn’t interfere."

"I’m not a kid anymore, I’m of age. I’ll volunteer myself, alright?" Lin Hang blinked at me, giving me the impression he was trying to act cute.

My face darkened, "No."

"Why not? I’m young, with plenty of life left."

"It’s non-negotiable. Go to sleep; we’re going to the Lin Family tomorrow."

"Fine, if it’s a no, it’s a no. I won’t sleep then, I’ll stay up with you tonight."

Lin Hang leaned against the pillar beside me, hands cushioned behind his head, and sighed, "Sis, life sure is unpredictable. Grandpa’s serious illness came so suddenly, like a landslide, everything went downhill fast, catching the whole Lin Family by surprise."

"He’s always been strong and healthy, I think there’s something fishy about this." I’ve never believed Lin Huan just fell ill by himself, right now I just want to get to the bottom of it.

When I first got Lin Hang’s call, I was too panicked to ask.

Now, even if I don’t ask, I’ve figured out in my mind that Lin Hang might not know more.

A man like Grandfather falls gravely ill, yet no treatment or revenge seems to be pursued.

It suggests the whole Lin Family is at their wit’s end regarding both the illness and whoever orchestrated it.

Lin Hang stared at me for quite a while before speaking, "I suspect Grandpa’s illness is related to the Ten Thousand Poison Hall of the Number One Evil Sect at the Miao Border."

"Go on." Upon hearing those familiar words, I squinted my eyes.

Lin Hang poked the firewood pile with a stick, letting the flames burn more steadily, "Although the Ten Thousand Poison Hall had nothing to do with the Lin Family before, recently, Grandpa mentioned the Poison Hall to me several times, talking about some ties between Ten Thousand Poison Hall and Old Madam Lin’s family at Tianying Village, and told me that the Poison Hall has already infiltrated A City..."

"Wait, you said Grandfather already knew that Poison Hall infiltrated A City?" I suddenly realized something, "Is it possible that Boss Zhu’s wife’s disappearance is related to the Poison Hall?" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Perhaps Grandfather’s illness this time is inextricably linked to me, as well as to Tianying Village.

The Poison Hall rarely intersected with the Lin Family but has always wanted to acquire the Tianying Village’s Yin Bell and Immortal Gu.

And Lin Huan is both my grandfather and the son-in-law of Tianying Village.

The flames in the fire crackled, and Lin Hang nodded, his young, handsome face veiled in shifting firelight, "Boss Zhu has ominous energy wrapped around him, which is quite strange within the Lin Family’s territory, so I thought of what Grandpa said—the possibility of the Poison Hall infiltrating."

"So that’s it. I almost wrongly blamed you, thinking you were obsessed with money. But upon reflection, at such a crucial time, you meeting Boss Zhu could only be for Grandfather’s sake..."
