My Demon Husband Is a Snake-Chapter 978: Swallowing Broken Teeth and Blood?

Lin Huan recounted to me a grievous case of blood feud from the Republic of China era.

During the Republic of China period, there was a Lin Family head, gifted with exceptional talents, who developed an overbearing temperament.

After succeeding, he did not take the Jade Hairpin to find Qing Li’s reincarnation, ultimately leading to the annihilation of two collateral branches of the Lin Family overnight.

Over a hundred bodies were even piled up into a mountain of corpses, placed outside the Lin Family Sect.

With the lesson of blood, no one dared to defy this legacy again.

"It’s over, Dragon Dad’s methods are so ruthless, knowing Qing Li was defiled, won’t he blood-wash..." the Lin Family!

After hearing this, I was utterly distressed, worried for the future of the entire Lin family clan.

I glanced to see Dumpling staring at me with curious, wide eyes, seemingly deep in thought.

I reckoned the little one might understand the conversation between Lin Huan and me; I didn’t want him to know such complex matters at his young age.

I covered his little ears with both hands, preventing Dumpling from listening.

Dumpling puffed up his cheeks, trying to push my hands away.

But his tiny arms couldn’t make a dent, and his anxious appearance was unbelievably adorable.

Lin Huan, as the Sect Master, was astute and experienced; he immediately picked up on the clues from my words, "Dragon Dad? If Yu Longting’s father is the Dragon Emperor, does that mean the person who ordered the Lin family to care for Qing Li generations after generations is... His Majesty the Dragon Emperor??"

"It should be..." I felt a chill down my spine, forced to face a reality.

The one who blood-washed the Lin family was Dragon Dad; does that mean the Lin family and Dragon Dad have a deep-seated blood feud.

Will Grandpa... still agree to me being with Yu Longting...

Lin Huan was silent for a long time, "Wanwan, you must not harbor any resentment towards His Majesty the Dragon Emperor, our Lin family is willing to swallow the pain and bear it silently."

"Grandpa... you..." I was shocked. Originally, what I most feared was Grandpa learning of this.

And opposing Yu Longting and me because of the grudges of the previous generation.

Who would have thought that someone as proud as him would actually choose to silently endure the suffering.

Lin Huan glanced at me and let out a long breath, "His Majesty the Dragon Emperor gave our ancestors a new lease on life; that’s why we agreed to care for Qing Li for generations. The bond between us was as close as fish and water. The events from the Republic of China, including Lin Gang’s defilement... of Qing Li, were our mistakes. We only hope His Majesty the Dragon Emperor acknowledges the hardships the Lin family has endured over the years... and forgives us..."

"Grandpa, speaking of which, His Majesty the Dragon Emperor compelling the Lin family to take care of Qing Li, while Qing Li continually reincarnates, actually has a deeper reason. It’s because Qing Li... merged with the Demon Cave, for the salvation of the world." My throat felt somewhat bitter. Looking at the room filled with Buddha statues and scriptures, it seemed clear why the Dragon Emperor went on a rampage against the Lin family back then.

Qing Li’s reincarnation staying in the attic was for purifying Demonic Qi, and once we ceased seeking her reincarnation.

No one knew what harm she would suffer if the Demonic Qi lingered within her and couldn’t be purified!

My heart felt very heavy; it was hard to imagine what the Lin family would face if Dragon Dad directed his wrath towards us again. I could only hope for his graciousness, praying such a disaster wouldn’t happen,

Speaking softly, "And when you were young, bitten by a snake, it was Dragon Dad who, in the guise of a monk, chanted to detoxify you."

Dragon Dad was once so kind, so kind. If one day he stirs up storms against the Lin family for Qing Li, as a part of the Lin family,

I truly don’t know what the future holds with Yu Longting...

"That monk... was..."

Lin Huan was startled, then his expression softened, "It seems there is a destined fate guiding us, Wanwan, keep the Jade Hairpin safe and serve Qing Li well."

"Don’t worry, Grandpa, even without your words, I would do the same." I tried to cast aside the heaviness in my heart, shrugging my shoulders to ease my mindset, gazing earnestly into Grandpa’s eyes, "Qing Li is Yu Longting’s mother; no matter how she feels about me, I must, must make her like me. I really want to give Yu Longting a happy, fulfilling home."

"Then Grandpa will give you a tip; when Longting comes out after chatting for a while, bring Dumpling in and let Qing Li hug him, better yet, let her take care of him."
