My Demon Husband Is a Snake-Chapter 1054: Uncorrupted for a Millennium

"Nanny, do you think that man is Yu Longting?" I asked sincerely.

Qing Li looked haggard, with dark circles under her eyes, clearly sleep-deprived. "If it’s Yu Longting himself, he might not recognize his own mother, but how could he not recognize his wife?"

Is there something not quite right about what she said?

But thinking about it, it seems true. At least in the past, Yu Longting was somewhat estranged from Qing Li.

Having met Qing Li, he could actually pretend not to know her.

But if that man is Yu Longting, there’s no reason he would pretend not to know me too.

"Even if that’s the case, there’s a strong premonition in the depths of my heart, Yu Longting seems to be in this Moonless City." I pressed my hand to my chest, sharing my truest feeling with Qing Li.

Qing Li sat up, shrugged, "Well, I have that feeling as well. Looks like we have to go into Moonless City."

"Moonless City is too oddly dangerous, I’ll go in alone." I didn’t want Qing Li to take the risk, so I proposed.

Qing Li raised her eyebrows defiantly, "You mean to leave me in this dark, desolate place alone?"

"No, no, I didn’t think it through, I won’t go to Moonless City, I’ll stay with you." It’s not just Qing Li’s words that made me change my mind—a thought of leaving her alone outside Moonless City, and I couldn’t be at ease.

Qing Li stretched lazily and stood up, looking down at me, "I mean, we go into Moonless City together. If Yu Longting encounters danger, you would really ignore him for me?"

"I..." I choked on my words, my heart filled with images from last night’s dream, all of them about Yu Longting’s scarred handsome face. "Alright, Nanny, let’s go together."

Moonless City comes from ancient times, yet constructed similarly to modern cities.

There are towering stone walls surrounding the outskirts of Moonless City.

The wooden city gates had long rotted away, leaving only the tall gate opening.

Standing beside the gate are two soldiers.

I took Qing Li and approached, seeing from afar the two guarding the gate.

It startled us, "Are there residents from the Abyss in the Snake Human Tribe?"

"Not a chance! Do you know how many years have passed since ancient times?" Qing Li rolled her eyes at me and boldly swaggered into the gate.

I could only grit my teeth and follow her in, "Then what do you think those two are... hey, they seem to be two corpses." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

The two soldiers guarding were human-bodied with snake tails, wearing Ancient Jade Armor. They remained intact over a thousand years.

For some reason, their bodies hadn’t decayed, though they couldn’t be called lifelike.

Their skin was somewhat shrunken, their complexion bluish-black, showing no signs of life.

But they’re like mummies from Xinjiang.

Preserving at least 70% of the deceased’s appearance from life.

"The Abyss has a special environment; it’s hard for anything to decay here." Qing Li walked into the city, surveying around.

I also observed, Moonless City was mostly constructed from stone.

On the roads, there were scattered people, all waiting for death, wearing black hemp clothing, dragging long, varied snake tails.

Qing Li, surprisingly unreserved, took a pancake from a dead passerby.

Directly... ate it...

Ate it!

Not only that, she finished it quickly!

"Can you really eat pancakes that are thousands of years old?" I couldn’t bear to watch.

Is this something Qing Li’s character would do?

Sure enough, human nature is complex and multifaceted; she truly is both noble and down-to-earth!

Qing Li finished eating the pancake and wiped the residual flour from her hands with a Handkerchief, "I don’t know, I went to Monkey’s territory to bring you down the mountain, only brought a few candies, no other food or drink. Now it’s either eat or starve to death, and I chose to eat!"
