My Demon Husband Is a Snake-Chapter 996: If You Leave, Who Will Protect Me and the Dumpling?

"But..." Listening to the woman’s heart-wrenching cries, Yu Rongling’s face was full of compassion.

Qing Li snorted softly, "Womanly compassion, will you be happy when Dumpling is stolen?"

"No, I can’t let Dumpling suffer a bit of harm. That guy moves too fast, even I can’t guard against it." Yu Rongling grabbed both my and Qing Li’s wrists firmly, standing ready with a stern air.

I saw the scene of that child’s neck being broken, and as a mother, my heart was gripped tightly.

But faced with the Ape Demon’s ghostly tactics, I ultimately chose silence.

The moment I stepped out of the carriage, I turned back to remind Shenshen, "There are many people, stay close."

After speaking, I worriedly held her wrist.

"No problem, Young Madam~" Shenshen smiled at me.

The smile was so amiable, like a breeze over the lotus pond in early summer. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

No matter how repressed the mood, it was instantly healed.

At the bustling train station, the group of four went through quite an ordeal to squeeze out.

"Grandma~" Dumpling could already articulate clearly, calling out for grandma.

Qing Li’s frown from being squeezed loosened considerably, "Su Wan, Dumpling is awake, we’ll go to the nearby nursery room later..."

"Little Fairy, she..." Yu Rongling stared at the hand I held with Shenshen, his eyes reddened, his features contorted, "was abducted by traffickers!!"

I could hardly believe it, my heart wrapped in a layer of chill.

What I was holding turned out to be a pale, little hand, like a tender radish.

Xiao Shenshen had long disappeared, her arm severed at some point.

To maintain weight and a subtle movement, a Puppet Talisman was stuck at the severed part.

"Su Wan, what’s wrong with you? You can’t even take care of a child properly!" Qing Li, after a brief silence, erupted in boundless fury, loudly rebuking me.

I wavered under the scorching sun, nearly unable to stand.

In any other circumstance, I might still resent Qing Li’s harshness towards me, but now I couldn’t even forgive myself.

Though I had joined the Mystic Sect not long ago, I had already learned Mysterious Art to this extent.

Even Lan Shaotang didn’t scare me, and I’d fought with Zhang Zidao.

I shouldn’t have made such a basic mistake; I should have guarded those around me more cautiously.

Eyes and ears open.

"Don’t blame sister-in-law, Little Fairy is someone I like, I didn’t protect her well." Yu Rongling slapped himself hard, frenziedly rushing into the train station to find Shenshen.

I saw that the Old Ape Demon on the train wasn’t simple, perhaps even older than Yu Rongling, and followed after, concerned.

Qing Li used a special step technique, catching up in an instant.

She freed a hand holding Dumpling, tightly gripping my wrist, "Isn’t one person going to die enough?"

"You mean Rongling, going would be dangerous?" My heart skipped a beat.

I had lost my Spiritual Eye, unable to assess many Monsters as before.

As a powerful Forbidden Woman, Qing Li’s judgment was likely very precise.

Her hand was cold as Cold Ice Profound Iron, gripping my wrist tighter, as if about to crush my wrist bone, "That Old Ape has at least two thousand years of age. Don’t go courting death, I don’t feel well; if you leave, who will protect me and Dumpling."

"What should I do now?" The instant Qing Li firmly gripped my wrist, that feeling of something missing in my heart seemed to be filled.

It was as if the hand holding mine wasn’t Qing Li’s, but Yu Longting’s.

Qing Li dragged me towards the taxi stand outside the station, "
