My Demon Husband Is a Snake
Chapter 1142: The Lowly Snake Tribe
I secretly glanced at Yu Longting, who was working as a handyman beside me. I didn’t feel sorry for him at all; instead, the family atmosphere seemed so warm that I wished to live like this forever. "Wow, so many things, no wonder it took two big bags; are these all to deal with Qingyang?"
"To deal with Qingyang, it’s not about the tools, but the brain." Qing Li tapped her temple and suddenly gave me a mysterious smile. "You’ll know by tonight; these things are meant for you and the boss."
In the afternoon, when we returned to the old mansion inn, the mourning hall was fully set up.
The white silk and incense candles looked truly eerie.
Especially that huge coffin, propped up high by a dozen stools.
Red silk covered the stools; with the red silk paired with the white silk, it gave a somewhat sinister air.
As if something monstrous was sealed inside the coffin, so they used red to suppress the evil spirits.
Then, Qing Li instructed Yu Longting and me to drip our blood into a clay urn filled with organs and strange meat, and sent Yu Longting to place the three urns in three different rooms.
After setting up the ink lines in the rooms, we both lay down in the coffin.
"So, the coffin was prepared for the two of us?" I didn’t dare question Qing Li’s words and lay down inside with Yu Longting.
Yu Longting seemed quite happy to be lying next to me in the coffin, turned to his side, and held me tightly in his arms. "Why else do you think they bought a double coffin? Even if we were burying Qingyang, a single one would suffice."
"Looks like they’re planning for us to play dead, to trick Qingyang into taking the bait." As I was dripping blood into the urn, I had already thought of this.
Because this is quite similar to how mummies were made in Ancient Egypt, all the organs would be removed and preserved separately.
One reason is to prevent the body from decomposing, and another hints at hiding the soul within the organs.
The organs with our blood would be recognized as if they were ours, excavated from our bodies. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
This way, Qingyang would be more convinced of our death.
Yu Longting responded softly, his long fingers caressing my hair.
The White Python on my clothes slithered down, wrapping around us simultaneously. "Wanwan, you once nurtured and cared for my body; now it’s my turn to repay you."
"That’s not a good term, ’repay’... it sounds a bit forbidden." I had just started to argue when I felt weak and fell asleep in his embrace.
My body was really too weak, and being nourished by Spiritual Power made me fall asleep from exhaustion.
Before my consciousness completely faded, I heard Yu Longting sigh softly, "Honey, what are you thinking about? Using a word like ’forbidden’..."
I didn’t know how long it had been when I finally heard a familiar young voice, "Sis, can you come out of the attic now?"
"Mm, just regained my freedom. That group of trash from the Lin Family can’t keep me locked up forever; they don’t have that power." Qing Li replied nonchalantly.
Even encountering his sister, Qingyang spoke with some wariness, "You just got out, and you came to Fengdu?"
"Look at that," Qing Li said to Qingyang.
Qing Li must have wanted Qingyang to see the plaques in the mourning hall. At that moment, Qingyang’s voice turned horrified, "The spirit tablet of Yu Longting, the spirit tablet of Su Wan. Now I understand why I felt their deathly aura outside the house; you actually killed them with your own hands, sister."
"I heard they came to Fengdu, so I took the liberty to settle it for you, even though I don’t know what grudge you have against them." Qingli said slowly.
Qingyang snorted coldly, "I simply don’t want the Snake Tribe to have another True Dragon. They are dead anyway, just worthless lives. Why did you even prepare coffins for them? The Snake Tribe is lowly and doesn’t deserve such good coffins!"
"Because..." Qing Li’s hand softly tapped the coffin lid, gently smiled, and turned her words, "Before I tell you, sister wants to invite you to drink a cup of wine, to ease the pain of our years apart."
