My Demon Husband Is a Snake-Chapter 879: Opening the Coffin

"Don’t waste your efforts. The gu on my mom has been dispelled by me, and she’s temporarily left the sect."

I glanced at the trouble-making Yan Hua, my hands resting on the heavy coffin lid.

At this moment, I had the absolute advantage with both time and place.

But I suddenly felt cowardly, lacking the courage to push the lid away.

Yan Hua was shocked by my words again, "You... You wretched girl... You actually..."

"Grandfather, I’m sorry, your granddaughter doesn’t want to lose you, and the Lin Family can’t be without you either." My heart felt clogged, leaving no strength to deal with Yan Hua, and I whispered softly.

I took a deep breath, and with lead-heavy arms, slowly pushed the coffin lid open.

The screeching sound of wood rubbing against wood was incessant, and I finally saw the corpse covered in white cloth lying inside the coffin.

I gently lifted the white cloth, and that face was familiar yet strange.

At this moment, Grandfather appeared as a middle-aged man, his features extremely masculine and grand.

With a wide mouth and broad nose, his facial contours were sharp like those carved by knife and axe.

This face had about seventy or eighty percent resemblance to the youthful, spirited appearance I saw in the Illusion Realm.

Moreover, his body had suddenly grown quite tall, with shoulders as if carved.

One could imagine what a graceful demeanor he would have when awake.

It was as if throughout those long years before, the dust on the precious gem was finally wiped away, restoring its original brightness and clarity.

"Grandfather." I couldn’t help choking up, tears soon blurred my eyes, making it hard to see his face.

My hand had already reached into the coffin, to touch the major artery in his neck.

Unable to feel any pulse there, I felt a bit of fear and went to check his breathing.

Trying to sense his breath, still nothing, and finally my hand touched over his heart, his wrist for a pulse...

Yet...

There was no sign of life whatsoever, and it was as if a heavy hammer struck the back of my head.

I felt completely dazed.

Grandfather was really dead!!

A piercing pain in my heart, the whole body felt suffocatingly uncomfortable.

In a moment, my mind cleared up.

I couldn’t sink into despair; even if there’s only a ten-thousandth chance, I must try.

Under the astonished gazes of everyone, I lifted Grandfather from the coffin.

Taking out the Life-extending Robe I carried, I put it on Grandfather.

I deliberately made the robe a size larger, but not knowing how Grandfather’s restored stature would be, it still felt a bit small.

With my head bowed, I buttoned the robe for Grandfather one by one, "Grandfather, you must wake up."

"Wanwan! Are you crazy? You’re giving him the Life-extending Robe??" Long Xiangkui, who had been indifferent all along, immediately recognized the robe as the Life-extending Robe.

This moment was like a drop of hot oil falling into boiling water.

Not only did the nine dear friends of Grandfather in the mourning hall turn pale and start discussing it with shock. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The guests preparing to come in to pay their respects outside also exploded into a frenzy, their discussions louder than ever. The Life-extending Robe must be worn simultaneously by both parties the first time it’s used.

If there’s too long of a gap, it loses its efficacy.

After calmly dressing Grandfather in the Life-extending Robe, I lay him back in the coffin.

The Life-extending Robe consists of a mother and a child piece, and I put on the child piece directly, "Because I believe my Grandfather isn’t dead."

"I personally verified him when he died." Long Xiangkui’s eyes were deep as she looked at me, "Child, are you out of your mind? Using your own life to exchange for your Grandfather’s."

I looked down at the pale-faced, still motionless Grandfather, "I know Granny Long wouldn’t make a mistake in verifying, and if Grandfather... if he really is gone, then the Life-extending Robe I made is useless."

"That’s true." Long Xiangkui was reminded by this and her grave expression eased quite a bit.
