My Demon Husband Is a Snake-Chapter 1051: The White Python Without a Soul Spirit

"There might be ghosts," Qing Li said, using an uncertain tone.

My curiosity instantly overshadowed my fear, "What do you mean by ’might be ghosts’? What’s the situation with Moonless City, Grandma, can you tell me?"

"We have to start from ancient times, the origin of the Human Race is the Snake Tribe, have you heard of it?" Qing Li asked me.

I was somewhat tired initially, but I suddenly felt energized, "If it’s an ancient legend, is it the story of the Snake Tribe’s Nvwa creating humans?"

"That’s more or less the idea. It’s said that in ancient times, there was first the Human Snake Clan, and then the human ancestors,"

Qing Li’s gaze kept resting on the White Python embroidered on my clothes after I took off my jacket. At this moment, she reached out to touch the python’s head, "The origins of the Human Snake Clan are the Abyss; part of them went to the water region on the surface, while some remained in the Abyss."

"Oh, so Moonless City was a city where the Human Snake Clan lived? Is the city inhabited by surviving ancestors?" I suddenly felt like I had a revelation, guessing part of the truth.

Qing Li shook her head, finding my adorable ignorance as she patted my head, "Moonless City is the place of rebirth and reincarnation for the Human Snake Clan. Before death, they all enter Moonless City."

"Reincarnation... You said the Snake Tribe represents reincarnation... they probably believe in it..." I only realized how naive I had been, "The Human Snake Clan enters Moonless City to wait for the Dust World Serpent to take them into reincarnation, so we probably shouldn’t enter Moonless City."

First of all, Moonless City is inherently a ghost city, filled with ominous atmosphere.

Secondly, Qing Li and I were looking for the exit, and Moonless City didn’t seem like it was an exit, so we really shouldn’t go in without reason. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"My suggestion is we take a nap and bypass Moonless City and continue forward." Qing Li inherently looked proud, like she was of noble birth.

Without a moment’s hesitation, she lay down on my jacket, even leaving space for me, "Lie down, Wanwan."

"Okay." I gladly accepted and lay down beside Qing Li.

Qing Li extended an arm and hooked it over my shoulder, gazing into the pitch-black void above, "People who don’t drink water or eat will die quickly."

"I..." I instinctively wanted to blurt out something to encourage Qing Li to keep going.

But Qing Li interrupted me first, "However, I strangely don’t feel regret about dying with you."

"Well, can I be honest? I am feeling a bit regretful," I lightly coughed, raising my hand weakly, "I want to live and make it outside to find Yu Longting."

"Will you die without a man? Silly girl?" Qing Li flicked my forehead angrily.

Seeing me rub my forehead in embarrassment, she couldn’t help but laugh.

Suddenly, the White Python embroidered on my clothes slithered down.

The huge, snow-white snake body formed a ring, assuming a protective stance, surrounding Qing Li and me.

Both Qing Li and I were stunned, exchanging glances for several minutes.

"Can this thing come down from clothes? Has this ever happened before?" Qing Li furrowed her brows and asked me in a lowered voice.

I casually touched the cool, smooth snake body of the White Python, "It used to scare me on purpose before, but never has the entire White Python come down. Now... even the embroidery on the cheongsam is gone!!"

On my cheongsam, only the white fabric remained, and the silver python was nowhere in sight!

This had never happened before...

"And another thing, daughter-in-law, this White Python seems to have no soul," Qing Li whispered in my ear.

I nodded in deep agreement, considering the cultivation level Qing Li and I possess.

Even if we don’t have any Spiritual Power within us, whether a body has a soul can be seen with a glance, "But without a soul controlling it, why did it come down from the cheongsam to protect us? It should be that the soul controls the body for it to act autonomously..."

"It could also be that its Soul Spirit is nearby, and due to a strong obsession, its true body is influenced, unknowingly taking a protective stance," Qing Li’s hand also fell on the White Python, gently stroking it a few times.

Especially when she touched the empty eye sockets of the snake, her gaze overflowed with piercing pain, "The leader must have done something to upset its father, got ruthlessly killed, and its Soul Spirit, lacking any support, pitifully drifted into the Abyss?"
