Xu Liang walked out of her bedroom and went straight to her mother Xu Si's room.
Xu Liang stood at the door of the room and knocked as Wan Jiao had instructed, saying, "Young Master Liu, now that I am yours and I am about to give birth today, would you please show yourself to me?"
As Xu Liang finished speaking, billowing white smoke escaped from the crack in the door of Xu Si's room, followed by a particularly pleasant male voice reaching Xu Liang's ears.
He said, "Little girl, aren't you afraid of me anymore?"
Xu Liang looked completely bewildered.
Afraid of him?
Why did he say that?
But now is not the time to think about these things. Xu Liang pursed her lips and said, "Of course I'm afraid, but when I think that you are the father of the snake fetus in my womb, you will definitely not harm me, so I'm not so afraid anymore."
The man inside the door chuckled softly, seemingly quite pleased.
The door opened with a click, and the man chuckled softly, inviting her in. "Come in."
Looking at the billowing white smoke, it would be a lie to say she wasn't afraid. But the thought that Wan Jiao was still in her room gave Xu Liang some confidence. Her slender feet, clad in expensive crystal slippers, stepped into the room, the contents of which were completely obscured. Amidst the swirling smoke, a large hand encircled her waist, and a breath, cool rather than warm, fell on her cheek. "You've finally made your choice."
Xu Liang was completely confused.
Make a choice?
What choice?
Terrified, Xu Liang still forced a smile and mumbled an "Mmm," "Young Master Liu, I've heard that childbirth is a very dangerous thing. Will you protect me?"
Amidst the swirling white smoke, the man with a snake's tail and a human body smiled faintly, "You will give birth safely."
As they spoke, the man's hand moved from Xu Liang's waist to her swollen belly, gently stroking it. "We made an appointment."
Now it was Xu Liang's turn to be puzzled. Judging from what this "Young Master Liu" said, they had not only met before, but also had a "story" together... but she had absolutely no memory of it.
So...did she lose her memory?
…
When Xu Liang left, Wan Jiao placed an enhanced sensing talisman and a substitute talisman on her.
At that time, although she was in Xu Liang's room, she was still able to fully experience Xu Liang's feelings as if she were there.
What a bewitching and seductive demon!
She underestimated him.
With his hands forming a hand seal, Wan Jiao and Xu Liang switched bodies, but 'Young Master Liu' didn't notice at all, and he was still in the same position as when he was stroking 'Xu Liang's' abdomen.
Now!
Wan Jiao cast the demon-repelling talisman, formed from spiritual power, into 'Young Master Liu's' body, and set up a demon-trapping barrier in the room filled with white smoke.
In an instant, the white smoke dissipated, and the scene in the room was revealed to Wan Jiao.
Xu Liang's mother, Xu Si, had been dead for a long time, but thanks to the protection of the snake demon 'Young Master Liu's' demonic power, her body had not yet decomposed.
"You killed her." As Wan Jiao spoke, she removed the substitute talisman from her body, reverting to her original appearance.
Upon seeing that the person before him was not Xu Liang, 'Young Master Liu's' expression changed drastically, and his enormous snake tail thrashed wildly. "Who are you? Where have you hidden my snake wife?"
Wan Jiao was truly amused that a snake demon who indiscriminately slaughtered innocent people dared to call herself "this sovereign." "Xu Liang is a human, you are a demon, so what kind of snake wife is she to you?"
“She is carrying my snake child; she is my snake wife.”
Wan Jiao: "Do you really consider her your wife? You know perfectly well that if she gives birth to your snake fetus, she will surely die."
Unexpectedly, 'Young Master Liu' didn't take Wan Jiao's words seriously. He arrogantly raised his chin and said, "It is her honor to die for me and to bear a snake fetus!"
Wan Jiao didn't want to waste her breath on such an idiot.
With a thought, a sword formed from spiritual energy appeared in her hand and pointed it directly at 'Young Master Liu': "A life for a life, even for demons."
Young Master Liu had already tried to escape, but the woman's barrier was too powerful, and he couldn't get out.
With no way to escape, they fought a desperate battle.
The human-headed, snake-bodied creature instantly transformed into a massive snake as thick as a water bucket, its gaping maw lunging at Wan Jiao...
"I have cultivated for a thousand years. How dare you, a mere female sorcerer, presume to show off your limited skills before me?"
"Foolish human, it is your blessing to die by my hand."
Wan Jiao raised her sword and brought it down, her powerful spiritual energy mixed with sword energy, striking the giant snake's vital spot with a single blow.
"Ah..." After a scream, the snake's body quickly shrank to the size of a thumb.
Wan Jiao put away the sword formed from spiritual energy and took out a golden rope from her canvas bag. "Go!"
As soon as Wan Jiao finished speaking, the rope seemed to understand her and flew over to tie the little snake up tightly.
…
Xu Liang was so surprised to find herself back in her room that she couldn't close her mouth. She wandered around the bedroom for a while but couldn't find Wan Jiao. Just as she was about to open the door and go downstairs, Wan Jiao called her from downstairs.
Two minutes later.
Xu Liang, heavily pregnant, entered Xu Si's bedroom and saw a small snake bound up and Xu Si lying on the bed, seemingly asleep, but actually dead for a long time.
Xu Liang's gaze darted back and forth between Xu Si and the little snake. After a long pause, she finally asked, "Is this snake the culprit that made me pregnant?"
Wan Jiao nodded. "Mm."
Without a word, Xu Liang walked over and stomped on the snake's tail, grinding it several times. The already dying snake twitched in pain, but because it was bound and couldn't escape, it could only endure it.
A few seconds later, Xu Liang withdrew her foot and walked to the bedside to check Xu Si's breathing.
He wasn't breathing, and his whole body was ice-cold.
It was undoubtedly a corpse.
Xu Liang looked at Xu Si, but asked Wan Jiao, "Anchor, how do you know my mother is dead?"
Wan Jiao didn't answer Xu Liang. With a casual wave of her hand, images of Xu Si from his lifetime appeared in mid-air, as smoothly as if in a movie. And in ultra-high definition!
*Snake fetus*
Xu Si was the only daughter of the chairman and his wife of the well-known Xu Group, a prominent corporation in Shengguo. Spoiled and pampered since childhood, she was innocent and carefree. At the age of twenty, she met Liang Ji, a poor and down-on-his-luck painter, and quickly fell in love. To be with Liang Ji, Xu Si defied her parents and gave birth to Xu Liang out of wedlock. She thought she had found her soulmate, but on the day she gave birth, she discovered that her beloved Liang Ji was actually married. Furthermore, Liang Ji was not with her because he loved her, but because of her status as the daughter of the Xu Group chairman and her money. Upon learning that she had broken with her parents and could no longer support him financially, Liang Ji lost all humanity and quickly left her, even publicly accusing her of being shameless and relentlessly pursuing him. On the day Xu Liang turned one month old, heartbroken, Xu Si jumped into the river with her, but was rescued by her parents who rushed to the scene. After returning to the Xu family, Xu Si became a completely different person, devoid of emotion and love, and single-mindedly focused on making money...
