My Demon Husband Is a Snake

Chapter 1197: Drew Their Last Breath

"If you die, what are we?" Yu Rongling sneered.

Hearing Yu Rongling’s voice, Beichen’s expression seemed to return from Hell to the human world.

Soon, he sprang up and sat up, exclaiming, "Xiao Li!!"

Finally, his gaze fell on the figure of the girl whose half body was still trapped in the Spider Silk.

Stumbling to get up, he ran to Xiao Li’s side.

Only Xiao Li’s lower waist was exposed; her head and body were still in the Spider Silk.

The corners of Beichen’s eyes were frighteningly bloodshot, and faced with Xiao Li like this, he was almost helpless.

He couldn’t even hold her, and could only watch the girl buried in the Spider Silk.

I saw that if Beichen continued like this, he might break down at any moment, so I went over and pinched Xiao Li’s pulse. "There’s still a faint pulse, don’t be too nervous. Maybe she’ll wake up in a bit, just like you did."

However, the truth was brutally harsh.

After Yu Longting finished reciting an entire passage of the Azarhan Sutra, all the blood threads on Xiao Li disappeared, revealing a thin, emaciated face.

Her once plump, collagen-rich cheeks had sunk due to excessive thinness.

Her once bright and charming eyes were tightly closed, and when I checked for breath, it was barely there.

At most once a minute, it was hardly different from a Living Dead.

This blood-colored Spider Silk carried a scent similar to Forbidden Woman Witchcraft, along with a strange, weak Demonic Qi. It not only eroded and harmed the body but seemed to also absorb energy from within.

"Xiao Li... Xiao Li..." Beichen’s body convulsed to the extreme, with veins on his arms and forehead bulging, "Snake Lord... please save Xiao Li... I’m begging you..."

I grabbed Beichen, who was on the verge of exploding, and whispered, "Yu Longting still has to take care of the boss and the boss’s wife. They’re still trapped in the Spider Silk and can’t be freed for now. First, tell me what happened last night."

"Last night... what happened..." Beichen seemed stuck by my question, his expression frozen, and after a long while, he said regretfully and resentfully, "I don’t know what happened. I was drinking with Xiao Li in the living room when suddenly the Spider Silk came in, and I knew nothing after that."

The Spider Silk came too suddenly, causing Beichen to lose consciousness instantly.

So that when he woke up, he doubted if he was still alive.

"Let’s not dwell on that for now. Currently, the nutrients in Xiao Li’s body have been drained, which is the main reason for her coma, and there’s also Demonic Qi invading her body, or possibly some unknown sorcery in her." Although I could analyze Xiao Li’s situation, I lacked medical skills and couldn’t provide the most appropriate treatment.

So, I went over to Shenshen.

And told her to take a look while I continued reciting the Azarhan Sutra in her stead.

Shenshen nodded and went to check on Xiao Li.

She felt her pulse and lifted Xiao Li’s eyelids to check, "Beichen, don’t worry, Xiao Li is fine."

"She’s fine?" Beichen was stunned.

Shenshen took out her silver needles and needled Xiao Li, "She once consumed a potent Elixir, giving her an excellent constitution. Her coma is due to the remaining power of that Elixir, sensing her danger, and helping her enter Tortoise Breath."

Hearing Shenshen’s words, my heart did not feel relieved, but rather heavier.

The Elixir Xiao Li took was incredibly potent, one that Yu Longting had once prepared for me, with effects akin to a complete transformation.

Equivalent to a Mystic Sect practitioner of twenty to thirty years, that’s barely how she managed to hold on to life.

The situation with Chen Decheng and Chen Shufen might truly be dire.

"Damn, brother, sister-in-law, these two... are gone? So unlucky, they were just celebrating my brother’s birthday with us yesterday." Once the Spider Silk on Chen Shufen and Chen Decheng was gone, Yu Rongling rushed over to feel their pulse and check their breathing.
