Chapter 12 Snake Bracelet
I opened my eyes abruptly, and just sat up from the bed, when I was still in shock, suddenly a low, trembling voice sounded next to me.

"You're awake!" An exile-like facial features came into view, with long brows and thin eyes, and a nose that seemed to be dangling, those dark pupils were like the bright first quarter moon in the night sky.

I stared wide-eyed and looked at him in disbelief, not knowing when he sat on the head of my bed.

"Have you had a nightmare?"

His body, as soft as a snake, leaned forward, and the tip of his nose was about to touch my face, which made me shrink back instinctively.

But he stretched out his hand, covered the back of my head, and pulled my head forward. This posture, so close, was obviously intended to force a kiss.

There was a fine layer of cold sweat on my face, for fear that he would suddenly bite my neck when he opened his mouth and exposed his fangs.

"Bai Yao!"

His voice was soft, and when he called my name, it made my heart tremble slightly, completely turning me into a puddle of water.

"How do you know my name?"

I stared at him intently, under his deep eyes, I felt like I was getting an electric shock.

The previous two times there was only endless love, but today is different, his expression is nostalgic and gentle, not as cold as usual.

Although I have been doing extremely intimate things with him every time, the number of times I have seen him is only a handful.

"I have lived with you for more than ten years, so I naturally know your name." His thin lips fell on the pinna, and his cold breath wrapped me tightly.

"But you..."

I trembled slightly, but still stared at his clear and bright pupils.

"I am your husband." His Wuling vertical eyes are as warm as jade, and the bloodthirsty chill on the cage that night seems to be two people.

Husband...husband?
Those icy eyes seem to be able to easily penetrate people's hearts, piercing the weakest corners of people's hearts.

There was no way I could retreat, but I didn't dare to move. I grabbed the blanket tightly in fright, stared at him tightly and said, "Can I change it? I...I don't like this name."

His dark eyes were filled with peace, and his lips fell from his forehead all the way to his mouth before he whispered softly, "What do you want to be called?"

"I...I don't want to call you anything." I could only hold my breath and quietly feel the cool air covering my body.

He stretched out his hand to help me brush my hair, sneered and said softly: "Are you scared these days?"

"Huh?" I stared into his eyes.

I don't really understand what he's talking about. Could it be my grandma's business, and Erniang Shu, that centipede, by the way, I should ask him what happened that night.

"Shu Erniang's death is related to you, right?" I asked him.

He snorted arrogantly, probably because he didn't like the way I interrogated the prisoner, so I softened my tone and asked again.

Chu Yuan seemed to be in a good mood, so he smiled slightly and said, "I'm stretching my hand too far, of course I won't let her go, I just blame her for being greedy and having thoughts that shouldn't have arisen."

My heart froze, and I looked at him dully.

Thinking of Shu Erniang's tragic death, his scalp tingles. He looks like a crown jade, but his methods are also extremely cruel.

But then I thought of something, stared at him closely and asked: "After my grandma was put into the coffin, many small black snakes came out of her corpse!"

He was indifferent, and suddenly smiled lightly and said to me: "Do you suspect that I did it?"

I didn't dare to answer his words, but I looked straight at him forcefully.

Chu Yuan buried his head on his neck, sniffed my hair lightly, put it in his ear and said playfully, "If I hadn't helped you resolve it the night before, you would have died long ago. Your grandma threw herself into the river. I did it with good intentions." Sending her body ashore, you will doubt me in the end, you will make my husband very sad!"

I opened my mouth and took a low breath, looked down at the face that was almost close to me, suppressed my fear, and said in a low voice: "Could it be that Shu Erniang is doing something wrong in secret, my grandma What happened after death is all her tricks."

He half-lyed in front of me, and said softly: "She doesn't have that much ability, she's just a puppet controlled by that centipede spirit. Your fate is very special and can help that centipede increase his power, so he will haunt you."

According to what Chu Yuan said, the centipede had cultivated a certain amount of Taoism and attached itself to the dead body, that is, the skinny old man. That's why there was an indescribable rancid smell on his body.

The centipede must have had a deal with Shu Erniang, or Shu Erniang was coerced and took me to the ruined temple just to let the centipede absorb my energy.

"You have witnessed what happened in the ruined temple in the back mountain. There is something strange in the village. Erniang Shu wants to sacrifice me to that centipede..." I stared at him.

Thinking of the horrible experience in the ruined temple, I still have lingering fears in my heart.

But what I'm worried about now is the centipede spirit, it will definitely not let me go.

"Now that my physical body is destroyed, my soul is unstable, and my three souls are almost wiped out after the transformation. I can't leave the inner alchemy for a long time. You can't deal with that centipede spirit."

It was rare to see Chu Yuan's voice full of seriousness, "This matter is too dangerous, don't take risks. Also, if there are strange things in the village, you can't publicize them. It will make people panic, and big things will happen then."

"But now it's been torn apart. I came back alive, and it will definitely not let me go."

My heart was clenched and uncomfortable, but I also knew in my heart that the centipede has a way and is not something I can provoke.

Seeing my agitated expression, he said to me: "Now my inner alchemy has merged with you, you don't need to meddle in this matter, I will help you when you have to."

In fact, I also want to get rid of future troubles, but now Erniang Shu is dead, and the centipede escaped and lost its whereabouts. As for what happened after my grandma died, he said that he knew very little.

These things are too dangerous, and I really shouldn't get in too deep.

He took out a snake-shaped bracelet from his bosom, five or six inches long in the shape of a spirit snake, and every thin scale on the snake's body was carved lifelike.

The two small nail-sized snake heads are complete with upper teeth and amber snake eyes, as if blowing a breath, this snake bracelet can really come alive.

Chu Yuan put it on for me, and said that ordinary evil things dare not get close.

"Let that old Taoist help to find out the whereabouts of that centipede, don't go, it's dangerous." He put on the snake bracelet for me, narrowed his slender eyebrows and said: "Also, be careful in your village, other things should happen recently .”

Twist according to the body shape, and slowly back away.

After retreating half a meter, I suddenly thought of something, leaned forward again, touched my ear, and said softly: "If you are in danger, you can call my name."

As he spoke, he curled his lips into a smile, breathed out lightly on my earlobe, and said provocatively, "Remember, I can only call you."

Then the whole person suddenly turned into a pool of black mist and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
