My Demon Husband Is a Snake-Chapter 1044: From Now On, I Am Qing Li

"Comfort me," Qing Li said weakly.

I was flustered, "What?"

"Comfort me, make me not so afraid." Qing Li buried her face completely in my embrace, trembling even more violently.

How am I supposed to comfort her?

If it were Yu Longting, I might have some experience.

But I don’t really understand Qing Li, I don’t even know what works for her.

A flash of inspiration struck me, and I said, "Dumpling is waiting for us at home, he wants grandma to hold him."

"Dumpling... right, I really want to hold the adorable Dumpling!" As soon as Qing Li heard me mention Dumpling, she immediately mustered her courage.

She lifted her eyes slightly, glancing at the closed eye at the unpredictable position.

A filament shot out from her fingertips, heading towards the eye.

Is she going to pierce the eyeball with the filament!

Suddenly, the eye opened, its purple pupil emitting Demonic Qi.

Demonic Qi entwined with the filament, counterattacking Qing Li along the filament.

In desperation, Qing Li could only sever the filament, to prevent the Demonic Qi from overtaking her, "Hold me tight, that eye is so terrifying."

"Where’s the Magic Artifact? Grandma, quickly take out the Magic Artifact." Seeing Qing Li still hadn’t taken out the Magic Artifact, I even felt an impulse to grab her and run away.

But I knew that the situation was at a point of no return; from the moment Qing Li approached the Central Plains, she was already being consumed by Demonic Qi.

Both sides are in a life-and-death struggle, either success or martyrdom.

So I can’t run, I can only stay here with Qing Li.

Only after completely destroying the Demonic Cave can we leave.

Tears from Qing Li’s eyes soaked into the fabric on me, "I’m too scared to even take out the Magic Artifact, just kill me, Wanwan. I... don’t want to be drained and assimilated by the Demonic Cave..."

"My fault, my fault, I shouldn’t have pressured you." I lightly patted Qing Li on the back to console her, realizing a crucial point.

The one who selflessly swallowed the Demon Cave for righteousness back then was Qing Li; only she, in all the vastness of the Three Realms and Six Paths, could deal with the Demonic Cave.

Only by stabilizing Qing Li’s mind and helping her overcome her fear could there be a way out.

But... what can I do to achieve that...

This is Qing Li’s own tribulation, and I’m just an outsider!!

I have no idea what to do to strengthen her willpower and give her the strength to fight the Demonic Cave.

Just then, a familiar, mocking laugh came from behind me.

Clearly, Qing Li was in my arms, but why was her cold laugh coming from behind me?

I held tightly the ice-cold Qing Li, slowly turning my head to look back.

I didn’t realize it before, but when I looked, it sent shivers down my spine.

Sitting on the large coffin behind me was a beauty with long hair reaching her waist.

That beauty was formed by a mist of blood, a bewitching smile on her face, her long dress fluttering around her ankles, "What’s the use of holding her? It’s just a shell now; henceforth, I am Qing Li, the unparalleled Qing Li of Forbidden Woman Witchcraft."

"You... you are the Demonic Cave." I looked at this Qing Li formed by blood mist, momentarily stunned.

She looked exactly like Qing Li, and more and more so, becoming identical to her.

Yet surrounded by rampant Demonic Qi, carrying an ominous, destructive power.

The Qing Li in my arms had her Spiritual Power completely devoured, more and more like an empty husk.

My eyes gradually turned blood red, the view was a scarlet scene, and the blood mist looked even redder, "You... absorbed my grandma’s blood to transform into another her!!"

"Who said I want to transform into her? Don’t be so naive, okay? I intend to completely replace her!" The blood mist Qing Li spoke with the same expressions, including her manner of speech, exactly like Qing Li, "From now on, I am Qing Li! Who told her to be so reckless as to swallow the Demon Cave; I had no choice but to counter-devour her."
