My Demon Husband Is a Snake-Chapter 1050: Moonless City

I’ve walked so many paths, and all I’ve seen along the way is desolation.

Finally seeing a place that’s different from the others, how can I not be happy?

"People live here? That’s great, let’s hurry over and take a look." Qing Li smiled brightly, so gently that it was frightening.

I felt a tingling at the back of my head, convinced she was being sarcastic. Making an excuse to refuse, I said, "Uh, we’ve been walking all day, my legs are sore. How about we rest a bit before going in?"

"Rest in the city, and we can even buy some food. Wouldn’t that be better?" Qing Li continued to persuade me to enter the city.

Deep down, I was thoroughly uneasy, certain Qing Li was speaking in opposites, "Grandma, encountering so many lights in the Abyss suddenly feels a bit suspicious, we better not act rashly."

"Not going to pretend to save face?" Qing Li still smiled, her eyes sparkling, and the teardrop mole at the corner of her eye made her look particularly charming.

I took off the jacket I was wearing and laid it on the ground. "You sit and rest; I won’t try to save face anymore, no more~"

That wasn’t just boasting earlier, saying something great about heading north.

After walking all day without seeing any change, spotting distant lights, I couldn’t help but want to save face.

Actually, among the pitch-black hues there, the scattered light seemed a bit like ghost fire.

If I really had to take Qing Li inside, I’d still be scared.

"Lower your head." Qing Li commanded me.

I knelt beside her obediently and lowered my head, "What’s wrong?"

"You’re not used to the Snake Eye, let me open your vision." Qing Li pulled out the white jade hairpin from my head, I knew what she was going to do.

Instinctively, I flinched, "You... you... you... are going to carve something on my forehead?"

"Say one word of refusal, and I won’t carve." Qing Li’s eyes were cold, hardly giving me a real choice.

I obediently offered my head, "I’m willing, I just instinctively flinched because I’m naturally afraid of pain."

"Eat this." Qing Li rummaged around and pulled out a large green White Rabbit milk candy.

Seeing it, I nearly fainted; it was actually wasabi-flavored.

But Grandma’s intention was good, how could I refuse, "Thank you."

Unwrapping the candy, I pushed the green White Rabbit milk candy into my mouth.

Instantly filled with a sense of happiness inside, "Wow, it’s delicious."

"This is the last one." Qing Li slowly carved words into my forehead, probably in the Snake Seal.

The strokes were incredibly complex and deeply carved.

If not for the sweet candy in my mouth, comforting the pain.

I would have cried out loud right there, "Grandma, my vision seems sharper now."

No longer seeing things through the flattened Snake Eye vision, and in the darkness with dotted starlight, I could gradually see some outlines of buildings.

That place... the shimmering light... surprisingly wasn’t ghost fire...

They were actually... shining from the houses!

"Ever since the Candle Dragon eye patch was removed, your vision has been lacking, right? I wasn’t aware the Snake Eye had nearsightedness." After finishing the carving, Qing Li suddenly leaned down and blew on my wound.

The cool breath came, and I was a bit dazed, quietly saying, "Yeah, I couldn’t see clearly earlier, turns out it’s a city. How could there be a city in the Abyss, Grandma?"

"That’s Moonless City, do you know... what Moonless City is for?" Qing Li asked with a gentle smile, recognizing and understanding that city hidden in darkness, glowing with firefly-like light.

I shook my head like a rattle drum, looking at Qing Li’s fierce yet smiling face, I couldn’t help but feel anxious, "Why do I feel... Moonless City is... a scary place? Is there... a ghost inside?"
