My Demon Husband Is a Snake-Chapter 969: Has the Snake Lord... Become a True Dragon?

"You don’t think that Old Zhao will come over when he sees the hot search, do you?" I broke out in a cold sweat, my emotions indescribable, yet I still tried with all my might to stay calm. "His purpose for descending is not to capture Qingyang? He shouldn’t... be interested in the Celestial Omen..."

Yu Longting’s gaze swept over the Dumpling in Yu Rongling’s arms, speaking with gloom, "But Old Zhao hasn’t captured Qingyang either. He has no prisoner to report. Old Zhao will definitely come!"

So according to Yu Longting, if Old Zhao can’t capture someone to fulfill his task, he’ll find a replacement?

No matter how domineering he is, he can’t take someone else’s newborn child to replace Qingyang, right?

Could it be that Yu Longting, being a new father, is overthinking things?

"Let’s go, let’s go, we need to get going." Despite my doubt, the mere thought of this possibility sent a chill through my body.

It’s truly bizarre. The Dumpling is just an ordinary baby born from the union of me and Yu Longting, ordinary in every way.

There’s no way it could cause a Celestial Omen. The Omen is likely caused by the fusion of Xiao Shenshen and the Ice Silkworm.

Even so, we can’t allow Old Zhao to take Xiao Shenshen away to report back.

Yu Longting nodded heavily, starting to arrange, "We’ll go separately, it’s safer that way. Wanwan, you follow Rongling with the Dumpling, I’ll take the Ginseng Spirit."

"Alright, let’s set off quickly." I agreed hastily.

Yu Rongling, unaware of Old Zhao’s matters, asked, "Bro, Sis! What are you talking about?"

Qi Yaogang seemed to only half-understand as well, but he was more seasoned.

Stroking his chin thoughtfully, not knowing what was on his mind.

I saw a hint of murderous intent flash in Yu Longting’s eyes as he glanced at Qi Yaogang.

It looked like he wanted to silence him, but in the end, he didn’t act.

"There’s no time to explain, let’s go, Rongling, we’ll talk as we move." I had no time for explanations, grabbing Yu Rongling’s arm, stepping onto a golden lotus urgently.

At that moment, heavy footsteps echoed in the living room.

Beside those footsteps, there was also a more chaotic and lighter step.

Two people came into the living room, if my guess was right.

It should be Old Zhao and Bai Zanhe.

I broke out in a cold sweat, and the golden lotus underfoot shattered.

Great, it’s over.

There’s no time to run...

If only Yu Rongling had mentioned the hot search earlier, we might have had time to escape.

Old Zhao is already in the living room!

If we decided to flee now, it would only be walking into the trap.

If discovered and caught by Old Zhao, we’d be even more vulnerable.

At this moment, we don’t even have time to discuss a countermeasure.

To prevent Xuanjing from rashly saying anything when meeting Old Zhao, Yu Longting and I worked in perfect coordination.

Yu Longting handed me a fire charm, and I quickly drew out a Flame Blade with it, slicing open the Ice Silk Knot cocoon.

A pure white little Nine-tailed Fox hopped out from the cocoon, before it could react to its own escape.

Yu Longting flicked his sleeve, letting out a blank charm.

All at once, he pressed the fluffy little fox into the talisman paper, completing the action of taking it into his sleeve all before Old Zhao entered.

Bai Zanhe’s familiar gentle voice reached our ears at this moment, "Ancestor, it’s strange. How could someone achieve Physical Sanctification in such a mundane residential building?"

"I find it strange too, but we’ll know once we see." Old Zhao replied lowly. When he stepped into this room and saw us inside, he froze for a moment, "How is it you guys? Snake Lord... became a True Dragon?"

"Not at all, Old Zhao, why are you here? My wife just gave birth, and in her postnatal weakness, she’s being treated by a Grey Immortal." Yu Longting politely said to Old Zhao.

Qi Yaogang noticed Old Zhao’s eyes filled with doubt for a moment, and then through his seasoned experience, he comprehended Old Zhao’s identity, "I heard this young girl call you Ancestor, you must be the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Poisons from the Ten Thousand Poison Hall! I’ve heard you might be an Immortal, and now seeing it myself confirms the rumor. I am Qi Yaogang, the Rat Monarch of the Rat Tribe."

"Yes, Madam Yu... has given birth? Where is the child, let me have a look."
