My Demon Husband Is a Snake

Chapter 1186: The Little Dumpling’s Utmost Endurance

"Let Beichen take the child, boss, I have something to ask you." Qing Li gestured to Yu Longting. Over the past few days, as she adapted to working without pay, her relationship with Yu Longting also became increasingly harmonious.

Yu Longting complied and took out his phone.

Beichen, following orders, came over and took Dumpling away.

Then Liu Hongluan was also pushed outside by Qing Li.

Only the three of us were left in the hall.

"Have you noticed that your son is a bit strange?" Qing Li asked coldly.

Yu Longting went out to the Snake Sect to get a Peach and some supplements.

After handing me a Peach, he spoke in a low voice, "What’s so strange?"

"It’s that Dumpling can recite long and convoluted Curse Words, but he can’t speak." I replied first, "I used to think he was just quiet, but after Mom asked, he said he couldn’t speak temporarily."

"I knew about this long ago." Yu Longting felt both our eyes fixed on him and helped me sit down in a chair, "Wanwan, in the past, Dumpling had a Demon Qi Seed implanted in him, and you took a certain medicine, do you remember?"

"Yes." I felt a deep sense of unease inside.

Yu Longting said, "To prevent Qingyang from planting another Demon Qi Seed in Dumpling, to avoid repeating the past, I developed that medicine. But this medicine has side effects..."

"Lowers intelligence?" Qing Li asked.

I shook my head, "Dumpling seems quite clever. Except for not being able to speak, his mind is even sharper than mine."

"Wanwan, the medicine you took was made from the purified flesh of demon creatures." Yu Longting’s expression grew more grave, "Dumpling was too young to absorb it, the purified mana in his body has been constantly tormenting him. He’s enduring pain every moment."

"Such a serious matter, and you’re only telling me now?" I just wanted to hit Yu Longting, glaring at him with eyes full of anger.

Yu Longting spread his hands, "I thought the pain might be very mild, so he never mentioned it himself. This kind of thing can’t be detected even by feeling the pulse, can’t blame me, right?"

The implication being, it’s Dumpling’s fault for not speaking up?

"Dumpling is just like Yu Longting, what he can endure on his own, he won’t let it affect others," Qing Li sighed and asked Yu Longting, "Is his inability to speak because the pain has eroded his language center?"

"It should be quite intense pain, endured to the extreme, depriving him of the ability to speak." Yu Longting lowered his eyes and said softly, "Reciting the Curse Words might bring temporary relief from the pain during those few seconds."

"Do you... have any way to relieve Dumpling’s pain?" I stood up, my heart tightening uncontrollably.

Yu Longting shook his head, "If there was a way, I would have used it already."

"I have studied the power of purifying demon creatures and the demonic Qi within them for years. Leave this to me, I will find a way to cure Dumpling." As Qing Li finished speaking, her aura suddenly became chilling, and Spider Silk quickly shot from her fingertips.

A cry of surprise immediately came from the door, followed by the sound of relentless head-banging.

I walked around the iron door pierced by the Spider Silk, went to the doorway, and glanced out. It was Liu Hongluan eavesdropping by the wall.

Liu Hongluan trembled violently, her heart pierced by the Spider Silk, and if it weren’t paper-thin, she would be dead by now, "I was just concerned... about the Young Master’s health... it was I who suggested the Young Master might have a problem, I... have no ill intentions."

"So I should thank you?" Qing Li looked down at Liu Hongluan with cold eyes, and then said to Yu Longting, "Why don’t I have Yu Longting give you a gift."

"A gift? I actually have a big gift right here." Qing Li was probably just trying to scare Liu Hongluan, but Yu Longting had a gift ready to go, cooperating with Qing Li’s words, he said wickedly, "I guarantee you’ll be satisfied, Liu Hongluan."
