My Demon Husband Is a Snake Chapter 150: I Am Inferior in Skills, I Admit Defeat

"What about you? Have you considered yourself? Punishing yourself for soone else's mistakes?" I angrily questioned Xia Xi.

Slow tears of blood stread down Xia Xi's eyes, her body like a weathered statue that would no longer move, and from her decayed lips ca a bizarre laugh, "Hehehe, are you talking about divine punishnt? I failed to protect my children, so I deserve the divine punishnt. I've long wanted to join them anyway."

"When you kill, you accumulate resentnt, which will invite divine retribution during your 'Tribulation.' When that ti cos, death won't be so simple—you'll be utterly annihilated." I saw her eyes filled with resentnt, obstinately unenlightened, and my tone beca suddenly stern,

"Then let tell you another fact, Ye Jiqing's cris are not worthy of death. I saved him also out of my own selfishness. You can't defeat , so you might as well accept your fate."

"Ye is the father of your child? Is that why you are protecting him?" Xia Xi asked through gritted teeth, as if I had intervened on her behalf out of nepotism.

I shook my head, my voice a bit weak, "No, he has wronged before, and he certainly isn't my child's father."

"Then it's because… what?" Xia Xi's eyes showed a hint of confusion.

Feeling there was no need to hide, I told her the truth, "He harbors a certain secret. Until I figure it out, I can't let him die."

"Good, good, good…" Xia Xi said 'good' three tis, her eyes' stubborn obsession gradually dissipating, "I'm not as skilled as you, I concede."

With her final words, her body stiffly fell down.

A loud crashing sound erupted, lifting clouds of dust.

A flash of white light swept before our eyes, and the black cat in my arms sprang up, darting into a corner and disappearing.

I stared at where it had vanished, dazedly stunned.

Had I convinced her just like that?

In my mind, I had prepared several different argunts to persuade her to let go of her obsession.

Perhaps it is just the nature of feline creatures to bow to the stronger.

Feeling inexplicably lost, I couldn't shake the feeling that there was so indescribable regret in my heart, yet I couldn't pinpoint what it was.

It was like a fleeting ribbon in my hands, always slipping through my grasp.

A mont later.

I walked over to Ye Jiqing; he had already passed out from pain.

I searched his body a bit, pulled out his cell phone, and called Mrs. Ye, "Ye Jiqing is at the XX nightclub on the third-floor warehouse here; his leg is injured, you might want to co and see."

"Su Wan!! You are Su Wan, you little wretch, did you deliberately hurt him? Did you kidnap him? I knew it, I've always known that a country bumpkin like you approaching my son was up to no good…"

Insults from Mrs. Ye blared through the phone, her voice loud and grating; I directly hung up.

Next to , Beichen furrowed his brows, "The Ye family, what fine people they are."

"After today, we won't have any more contacts with them; let them be whoever they want to be." I put the cell phone back in Ye Jiqing's hand, picked up my coat from the ground, draped it over my arm, "Let's go; let's find a hotel to rest a bit, you really got dragged into this ss."

"My duty is to protect you," Beichen followed behind and said.

I had been physically drained the past few days; as I descended the stairs, I felt dizzy for a mont and nearly fell.

Beichen tugged at my arm, preventing from tumbling down the stairs.

I didn't know how many tis he had saved already.

I steadied my mind, cautiously watching my step, "Thank you, you saved and Dumpling again. It's precisely because it's your duty that I feel uneasy. If I hadn't co to City B, you wouldn't have had to follow, nearly facing danger."
