My Demon Husband Is a Snake-Chapter 877: The Red Hair Protector’s Fire Centipede

"It really looks like the Fire Centipede of Ten Thousand Poison Hall, Red Hair Protector." My mother interjected with her keen insight.

Uncle Zhang Che was certain, "It’s not just similar, it is the Fire Centipede."

"What??" My mother instantly flared up, "Wanwan, what on earth is going on with you? How did you get tangled with Ten Thousand Poison Hall?"

Getting a scolding right out of the blue from my mom left me dumbstruck.

Ten Thousand Poison Hall is wholly intent on trying to kill me, how could my loyal Xiao Honghong possibly be related to those scoundrels?

Furthermore, many well-informed people have seen Xiao Honghong, including the Granduncle from Tianying Village, Master Zhang Zidao, Yu Longting, and Grandpa Lin Huan...

No one has ever mentioned that Xiao Honghong has anything to do with Ten Thousand Poison Hall.

What’s really going on here?

Uncle Zhang Che observed my expression for a while, then seemingly having thought of something, he tried to reassure my mom, "Maybe Snake Lord snatched it from Ten Thousand Poison Hall."

"If it’s something from Ten Thousand Poison Hall, and if it develops a deviation, Wanwan could be bitten back." My mom was worried to death and began panicking.

I didn’t have time to explain much, I comforted my mom, "Mom, the immediate priority is for you and Uncle Che to leave first. My Gu Raising can be discussed later."

"Fire Centipede’s Gu Removal takes time. If Yan Hua discovers you before you can remove it, the consequences would be unimaginable once she activates the Gu Poison." Uncle Zhang Che also agreed to leave the Lin Family.

My mom looked at me, then at Uncle Zhang Che.

She compromised and nodded, "Alright, we’ll leave first."

However, I knew she and Uncle Zhang Che were probably clueless about most of the events happening within the Lin Family.

Most likely, she merely thought Yan Hua was blamed by Lin Gang, and wanted to clarify the misunderstanding with Yan Hua, which is why she hesitated so much.

I stepped outside first, took out the fire charm, and burned the spider silk on the ground.

Soon, all the spider silk was incinerated in the flames.

Uncle Zhang Che emerged, supporting my mom.

I squeezed between them, grabbing their wrists simultaneously.

I stepped onto a golden lotus and directly transported them out of the Lin Family Sect, "Uncle Zhang Che, take my mom away, I still need to make another trip back."

"Your stepping technique just now was similar to our Zhang Family’s... seven... nevermind." Uncle Zhang Che frowned slightly, not delving deeper into my Seven-Star Golden Lotus Step, "What are you going back for? The Lin Family is currently very dangerous."

"I want to investigate my grandfather’s death." I responded seriously.

Uncle Zhang Che’s eyes were thoughtful and heavy, "That can totally wait until your mother removes the gu, I’ll help you seek justice."

"Uncle Che, trust me, I have my methods." I said earnestly.

My mom said, "How can you go on an adventure all by yourself, this is... Ah Che! What are you doing holding me?"

"Trust Wanwan this once." Without waiting for my mom to finish her words, Uncle Zhang Che lifted her frail figure horizontally.

With a light step, he whisked away gracefully.

From the back, they truly looked like a pair of deity lovers.

This must be the feeling between childhood sweethearts, truly enviable!

When I returned to the Lin Family Sect’s main gate, a continuous stream of people from the Mystic Sect were attending the condolence.

I hardly recognized most of these faces, but a small portion of them knew who I was, "Isn’t she the granddaughter of Sect Master Lin, who boasted multiple times about using the Lin Family’s Demon-Breaking Power to slay the demon spawn from Corpse Lake?"

"It’s said she is hideously deformed, with crooked eyes and mouth, a dwarf just over a meter tall, right?"

"I’ve seen photos of Lin Huan’s granddaughter, she indeed looks like that. It’s rumored the Lin Family has a hereditary illness called Blood-weeping Syndrome."

"Exactly, it seems she changed appearance when the syndrome acted up during the demon spawn killing."

Perhaps those who recognized me were only from the circle closely familiar with Grandpa Lin Huan.

However, there were so many people from various Mysterious Gate Noble Families present, and with so many rumors swirling.

Once it spread by word of mouth, it got around quickly.

The disciples guarding the entrance wanted to stop me as I entered, but I threw them a cold glance.

They looked at my menacing aura and then at the guests discussing me.

Stunned, they withdrew their hands meant to block me.

With my gaze unwavering, I strode swiftly toward the mourning hall, where my eyes fell upon the pitch-black casket at the center.
