My Demon Husband Is a Snake-Chapter 909: My Spores

"You don’t need to concern yourself with what kind of plant I am. I was born ten thousand years ago, and my species has long been extinct, leaving no specimens behind. No one has named me."

Lan Shaotang suddenly dropped to his knees, crawled over, and held my feet. "Spare me, please. I was cultivating well, but I was taken to Ten Thousand Poison Hall by Zhao Zheng... and they kept me locked up, fed on carrion, until I became an Evil Demon."

"Such a pity. You spread your spores just to trick people out of their money?" I shuddered when I saw Lan Shaotang preparing to kiss the surface of my shoe, quickly drew my foot away.

Stepped back a few paces to maintain distance from this guy.

Lan Shaotang said, "What does a demon like me need money for? It’s all for the funding of Ten Thousand Poison Hall. Once the bodies of those with spores rot, they can’t be possessed anymore because they start to stink too much. People around them will get suspicious, so in the end, the bodies follow the regular process of cremation and burial, posing no great threat."

"You produce so many spores, how come there aren’t other Vine Demons in City A?" I’m curious about this.

A flash of murderous intent appeared in Lan Shaotang’s eyes, but he cleverly hid it behind an innocent facade. "I didn’t let those spores survive. After all, this is Lin Family’s territory. Once they absorb enough nutrients, they return to my main body."

Is this guy growing by devouring his offspring?

Although he’s a plant, it’s still pretty disgusting.

"Apart from those who are already dead and beyond saving, I will order the spores to leave the living. Spare my life, Su Wan, I beg you." Lan Shaotang shamelessly pleaded, bowing his head repeatedly.

Seeing that my expression remained icy cold, he raised the stakes, "The basement... all the people in the basement... I’ll release them all... every single one, just spare me..."

"The missing people, including Boss Zhu’s wife, are all locked in the basement by you? The basement of Baoxian Hall headquarters???" When I entered Boss Zhu’s house, I used the remaining scent of his wife left in the residence.

Used the Divination Clothes to calculate, and his wife is still alive, yet unknown of her whereabouts.

Unexpectedly, she was confined in Baoxian Hall’s basement by Lan Shaotang. He already has spores to feed him strength, so why imprison people? 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

I stared at Lan Shaotang for a while, my eyes moved slightly. "Do you have a habit of eating live people? Are they treated as storage for you?"

"I’ll change, I’ll definitely change... Don’t kill me, only I know the electronic password to the basement. If you kill me, you won’t be able to save them." Lan Shaotang pleaded and threatened simultaneously.

He seems terribly afraid to die.

Unfortunately, my heart has already been filled with the intent to kill.

I’ve never had such a profound urge to kill. Even when I killed Zhao Zheng, there was Zhang Zidao instigating me, plus Zhao Zheng tried to kill me several times.

But now, the intent to kill is entirely for those innocent victims.

My mind tumbled through a few thoughts, deciding to first appease Lan Shaotang and rescue those controlled and imprisoned. "You do the work first. When it’s done well, I’ll decide what to do."

With the movement of my mind, the Fire Phoenix withdrew into my body.

The whole room returned to calm, the air still held a residue of fiery heat.

With a bang, the conference room door couldn’t withstand the heat and crumbled to ashes.

"Cousin, you’re in here... Oh my... this conference room... so empty!!" Lin Hang came forward, astonished by the vast 200-plus square meter room that was utterly devoid of anything.

I nodded at Lin Hang but didn’t engage him in conversation. I addressed Lan Shaotang, "Let’s go to the basement first."

"Alright, I’ll take you to the basement. Su Wan... the Palm Talisman drawn on the hand, once used, will lose its effect, right??"
