Marrying a White Snake Wife is Super Cool

"If anything happens to my son-in-law, I’ll avenge him myself! I’ll make your life a living hell!" the red-tailed Snake Woman raged.

The white-tailed Snake Woman, on the other hand, ignored the old man completely, her eyes fixed only on Lu Yuan.

"Mother, let him go!"

Hearing her son-in-law speak, the red-tailed Snake Woman—Lu Yuan’s mother-in-law—released her grip and threw the Grand Elder of the Celestial Dynasty Palace to the ground.

"Dear, you’re awake?" Su Liyan reverted to her normal appearance, looking at Lu Yuan cradled in her arms.

"Son-in-law!"

"Young Master!"

"Boss!"

Everyone crowded around Lu Yuan, their faces etched with concern.

Seeing this, the Grand Elder of the Celestial Dynasty Palace finally understood. These people were all Lu Yuan’s family and subordinates.

Lu Yuan coughed violently a few times and said, "I’m not seeing things, am I? Am I hallucinating? Wife, is that you?"

Lu Yuan touched his forehead. ’Am I running a fever?’

’Isn’t my wife supposed to be in Taiping City, at the Zhao Mansion, taking care of our daughter? How could she be here in front of me?’

’It’s thousands of kilometers away. The journey here must have been so hard on her!’

Su Liyan clasped Lu Yuan’s hand, her eyes full of affection. "Dear, it’s me. Your wife. I’m really here!"

Su Liyan looked at her badly injured husband, her eyes welling up. Large, bead-like tears dripped onto Lu Yuan’s cheeks.

Lu Yuan could clearly feel the heat of his wife’s tears. He reached up with his left hand to wipe them away, saying softly, "I’m fine. Don’t be sad, my dear."

Everyone watching the scene thought, ’So this is what love looks like?’

"Help me sit up." It was the first time Lu Yuan had ever felt his lower body so weak. He found himself thinking back to the time on the heated bed when he had battled both Aunt Zhao and his wife.

Not even Aunt Zhao’s plump, massive rear had managed to subdue him, and he had never once felt completely drained.

After all, Lu Yuan had cultivated the *Holy Body* manual and possessed an Innate Holy Body.

There was only one explanation: this was a sign of poisoning.

With Su Liyan’s help, Lu Yuan slowly sat up. The pain in his back was extremely uncomfortable. He said, "My dear, there’s something in my back, inside my body. Help me get it out."

Su Liyan’s mother hurried forward to help her daughter support her son-in-law. Su Liyan moved behind Lu Yuan, placed a palm gently on his back, and slowly drew out several Silver Needles, each five to six centimeters long.

Seeing them, Su Liyan’s mother was heartbroken and cursed, "Those damn bastards. Killing them like that was letting them off too easy."

Hearing this, the Grand Elder of the Celestial Dynasty Palace thought to himself, ’Do you hear yourself? This ground is covered in flesh and blood, some of it still twitching, and you say that’s letting them off easy? Isn’t that a bit too barbaric?!’

After pulling out the Silver Needles, Su Liyan held them in her hand, her heart aching. With a slight squeeze, SNAP! The needles broke and scattered on the ground.

"My dear, wait." Lu Yuan tried to stop her, but it was too late. The Silver Needles had already been snapped in two.

"Dear, what’s wrong?" Su Liyan asked quickly, as if she had made a mistake.

Lu Yuan picked up a piece of a broken Silver Needle from the ground, glanced at it, and handed it to a trusted subordinate nearby. "It’s fine. Good thing my wife didn’t grind them to dust. These needles were coated in poison. Now I can prepare an antidote, just in case."

"You think of everything, dear." Seeing that Lu Yuan’s condition had improved, Su Liyan’s mood brightened, and she dried her tears.

The reason Lu Yuan had recovered so quickly was that he had taken a Healing Pill right before passing out, during the window of opportunity when the Grand Elder of the Celestial Dynasty Palace was fighting off the masked assassins.

Of the seven Human Level Middle Level Elixirs he had refined back in Yandu, all were Healing Pills. He had given two to the Crown Prince of Yan, Gu Gaochi, and just a few days ago, he’d given another two to the Emperor, Gu Yuanzhang. That left him with three.

If not for the Silver Needles remaining in his body, whose potent poison had been battling the effects of the Healing Pill, Lu Yuan wouldn’t have been unconscious for so long.

Now that the Silver Needles were removed, the residual effects of the pill were gradually healing Lu Yuan’s body.

To completely purge the poison from his system, he would likely need to take two more Healing Pills every six hours.

Of course, a proper antidote would be best. Using an antidote to counteract a poison was the fastest and most effective method.

Supported by his wife and mother-in-law, Lu Yuan slowly got to his feet.

"Trying to run?" His mother-in-law, still in her atavistic state, was exceptionally sensitive to any disturbance in her surroundings. The masked man whom Su Liyan’s mother had knocked unconscious earlier had just kicked off the ground, attempting to flee.

Su Liyan’s mother flicked her large red tail, channeling all her Inner Strength into one palm. Her right hand formed a claw, unleashing a powerful suction that pulled the fleeing masked man toward her.

’The Object Control Skill? It’s the Object Control Skill again! Even a member of the Half-demon Race knows it? What in the world is going on?’ The Grand Elder of the Celestial Dynasty Palace stared in disbelief at the Red Snake Noblewoman’s technique.

’Since when did the Object Control Skill become so common?’

During his cultivation of the *Celestial Master* Secret Manual, whenever Lu Yuan encountered a difficult passage, he would often ask his mother-in-law or his wife for help.

Su Liyan and her mother were also happy to learn the techniques in the Secret Manual. They just couldn’t recognize many of the characters. Lu Yuan was in charge of reading, and they were in charge of interpretation.

A man and a woman working together makes the work fly by!

Seeing his body being pulled backward, the masked man knew it was impossible to escape today. Rather than fall into the enemy’s hands and suffer endless torture, he decided to end things quickly.

A Silver Needle appeared between the masked man’s right index and middle fingers.

Two of the Mansion Guards Lu Yuan had recruited were at the level of a Grand Celestial Master. Seeing the Silver Needle in the man’s hand, one of them shouted a warning, "Milady, be careful!"

The masked man shot the Silver Needle in his hand straight at his own forehead.

The Silver Needle flew out from the back of the masked man’s skull, aimed directly at Su Liyan’s mother.

Already on guard, Su Liyan’s mother released the suction from her right hand and, with a backhand strike, sent out a blast of air that knocked the Silver Needle to the ground.

With the force holding him up gone, the masked man collapsed limply to the ground.

Lu Yuan said to the wife supporting him, "My dear, our mother is still so cool. And the more I look at that big red tail, the better it looks."

Su Liyan just gave him a look, leaving him to interpret it himself.

But thinking about the injuries her man was carrying, Su Liyan didn’t say anything more.

A trusted subordinate used a piece of torn cloth to pick up the fallen Silver Needle, placing it together with the broken pieces the Young Master had given him earlier.

The Grand Elder of the Celestial Dynasty Palace picked up his Duster and the Celestial Master Sword and walked over to Lu Yuan’s group. For an old man of his age, he certainly knew when to bow and scrape.

The Grand Elder of the Celestial Dynasty Palace presented the Celestial Master Sword with both hands. "Lord Lu," he said, "as for what happened today, this old Daoist was in the wrong first. I now return the Celestial Master Sword."

Lu Yuan gestured for a trusted subordinate to take the Celestial Master Sword from the Grand Elder’s hands.

Lu Yuan said, "Grand Elder, I won’t hold what happened today against you. This Celestial Master Sword is my personal sword; it wasn’t taken from the Celestial Dynasty Palace. If you want it, you can’t just snatch it from my hands."

What Lu Yuan said was true. In any case, the sword wasn’t stolen, nor was it taken by force.

’I’m in the right, so what do I have to fear!’

The Grand Elder of the Celestial Dynasty Palace acted with great humility and quickly replied, "Lord Lu is correct."

The Palace Guardian Sword had been lost for over a hundred years. The Grand Elder of the Celestial Dynasty Palace knew in his heart that Lu Yuan himself couldn’t have been the one to take it, but...

Feeling the hostility from the crowd, the Grand Elder didn’t dare speak recklessly. After all, if he hadn’t been tangled up in a fight with Lu Yuan, these lowlifes wouldn’t have had an opportunity to strike.

The Grand Elder’s body was still weakened. Any random Celestial Master could probably beat him down.

Seeing that the Grand Elder of the Celestial Dynasty Palace knew what was good for him, Lu Yuan decided not to make things difficult for him.

"Someone’s coming! About twenty people," Su Liyan’s mother warned, sensing a group speeding over from the direction of the Imperial City.

"Mother, you should retract your Divine Abilities for now. We don’t know if they’re friend or foe yet," Lu Yuan advised, seeing his mother-in-law was still in her atavistic state.

"Oh, oh, my son-in-law is right!" Su Liyan’s mother pressed her palms together. Her large red tail slowly shrank and thinned, finally retracting back into her floral skirt.

Su Liyan’s mother fussed with her long skirt, took a couple of steps, and said, "Look at me. As a mother, I always listen to my son-in-law!"
