My Demon Husband Is a Snake-Chapter 997: Don’t Let Me Infect You and the Dumpling

"Of course, we need to leave here as soon as possible; do I need to teach you this common sense?"

At that moment, I was directly stuffed into the car by Qing Li in a domineering manner.

Qing Li said to the driver, "Drive."

"Where to?" The driver pressed the accelerator.

Qing Li blurted out, "XX Hotel."

In a hurry, we arrived at the hotel Qing Li mentioned. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The hotel had our booking information, and Qing Li and I took the room card at the front desk, then were led to the room by a staff member.

The staff member stood at the door and bowed at ninety degrees, "I wish you both a pleasant stay."

With that, they quietly closed the door.

"Go feed Dumpling, I need to rest for a while." Qing Li pushed me into the bathroom, her pupils were gradually turning white, as if they were merging with the whites of her eyes.

I was a bit worried about her condition, "Grandma, are you okay?"

"Go quickly, don’t let Dumpling starve." Qing Li sat on the bed, her body trembling and spasming, squeezing these words out almost through gritted teeth.

I was afraid Qing Li’s emotions would get out of control, leading to a worse outcome.

Holding Dumpling, I walked into the bathroom, fed the little fellow until satisfied, and then changed the diaper.

"Mommy." Little Dumpling worriedly touched my face with their small hand after I completed a series of actions.

I grasped Dumpling’s soft little hand and kissed it, "Mommy’s fine, Mommy needs to go check on your grandma now."

"Mm~" Dumpling obediently lay on me, unmoving.

As I walked out holding Dumpling, I immediately saw Qing Li had already passed out on the bed, her cheeks unnaturally flushed red.

I rushed over, half-kneeling by her side, "Grandma! Grandma, how is your body?"

Qing Li’s body was immobile, with no response.

"Dumpling, you lie there obediently." I placed Dumpling on the other side of the bed and leaned down to carefully check on Qing Li’s condition.

I turned Qing Li from her sidelying position to supine.

I pressed her philtrum firmly with my finger, seeing if I could wake her up, while channeling some of my Spiritual Power into her.

I didn’t know how to heal, so I could only use the most conventional means for emergency.

Half a minute later, Qing Li slowly woke up, "Stay away from me, the Demonic Qi in me is contagious."

This time, when she opened her eyes again, her pupils had completely disappeared.

Only the terrifying whites of her eyes remained, like a beautiful demon.

However, I didn’t make a fuss; Qing Li was only sick, and with proper treatment, she should recover.

"Demonic Qi?" I searched Qing Li’s body and saw red rashes on the skin below her arm.

I leaned closer and lifted Qing Li’s arm, "How did this happen? When we were in the attic, I couldn’t feel any Demonic Qi on you."

These red rashes were caused by Qing Li’s body rejecting the Demonic Qi.

Ordinary people would not be infected with Demonic Qi by touching it directly.

Instead, they would be injured by it; the skin touched would have cells that necrotize and rot.

This is the corrosive power of Demonic Qi...

"The Demonic Cave in King Yu’s Tomb emerged in the past two hundred years." Qing Li coughed twice, her pupilless, all-white eyes fixed on me, "The closer I get to the Demonic Cave, the stronger my body’s reaction."

I didn’t quite understand, "If that’s the case, why not let me place the statue, why must you do it yourself?"

"Only if I do it personally can it be subdued; even if Yu Qingxiao came, he couldn’t do it." Qing Li stared at the growing red rashes on her arm, smiling wryly, "Hold Dumpling away from me, don’t let me infect you and Dumpling."
