My Demon Husband Is a Snake-Chapter 1025: See, I Knew We Were Family

The Dust World Serpent was clearly a statue, though carved with lifelike detail.

But after all, it was an inanimate object, and when it entered the water.

It suddenly gained the ability to think autonomously, rotating its circular body as it swam toward Qing Li and me.

Its speed was incredibly fast, and in an instant, it was beneath Qing Li and me, lifting us both out of the water with its massive stone serpent body.

I pressed my hand against the statue to maintain balance and unexpectedly felt the subtle texture of Snake Scales through the stone.

I could even sense the thoughts in the statue’s heart, as if it was saying:

Lady of the Snake Lord.

Even more miraculous was the place where the Dust World Serpent appeared.

No whirlpool or terrifying wave came near this serpent; as long as we were on this snake statue, we would never accidentally be drawn into reincarnation.

The Dust World Serpent was now continuously rotating its body clockwise in the water, surrounded by a brilliant red light.

The red light was incredibly bright, illuminating this vast expanse of dark water.

"Grandma, we’ve been saved. I told you we’re related, so we wouldn’t harm our own people," I cried with joy, hugging Qing Li tightly.

Qing Li was completely stunned, "Is...is it really like that?"

"It must be like that. Big Serpent, you’re amazing." I patted the Dust World Serpent and praised it, then asked, "Big Serpent, can you float over to that weasel? He’s my companion."

The Dust World Serpent was essentially just an inanimate behemoth, always maintaining a posture with its mouth holding its tail; it couldn’t verbally respond to my words.

But it seemed to understand what I was saying, even doing as I instructed.

The serpent body representing reincarnation maintained its posture of uniform rotation, swiftly moving towards Huang Wude.

I released Qing Li and leaned half of my body into the water.

Reaching out, I grabbed Huang Wude’s arm and pulled him up forcefully, "Huang Wude, you’re saved, quickly thank the Dust World Serpent."

"Uh...thank you...I guess..." Huang Wude awkwardly expressed thanks, looking incredulous.

He was dazed for about three seconds before crouching down to whisper to me, "Waner, you must be clever, right? An ancient reincarnation statue, can it understand our speech? Even if I say thank you, it wouldn’t understand."

"Don’t talk nonsense, be careful or you’ll be thrown off by the Big Serpent," I warned Huang Wude.

Huang Wude seemed to think of something terrifying and instantly turned ashen-faced.

He made a gesture like zipping his mouth shut, then couldn’t help but ask me, "Since we don’t need to reincarnate, we surely can’t stay here forever. How do we leave this place?"

"Just say something to the Serpent, and surely we can leave, since it’s the controller of the Nether Spring. However, I’m not in a hurry to leave." My gaze fell on Yuan Hong, who was floating and sinking in the Nether Spring.

This guy has killed countless, the most unworthy monster to be saved.

Yuan Hong, in a sorry state, gulped several mouthfuls of the Nether Spring, noticing my scrutinizing gaze.

With scarlet eyes even colder and more terrifying, he angrily said, "I didn’t expect you...to be able to control the Dust World Serpent! Who exactly are you?"

"It’s none of your business who I am. I’m just asking if you want to survive!"

"Ridiculous, I don’t need you to save me. King Yu’s Tomb is destroyed, as a Tomb Guardian, I no longer have a reason to live!"

"Is it because King Yu’s Tomb no longer exists, you don’t want to live?" I pondered, touching my chin, "But you were just so desperate to escape, you seem quite self-preserving."

"In this world, what doesn’t cling to life? Even if I escape from here, ah..." Yuan Hong burbled as he sank again into the Nether Spring, leaving only half his head above water, and said coolly yet mockingly, "You’re not letting me eat people to extend my life, even if I escape, I’ll still die."
