My Demon Husband Is a Snake

Chapter 1212: My Snake Lord Is Jealous

Zhang Jia’s eyes were icy, "Not choosing a single one? The outstanding young men of the tribe are all here, and you don’t like any of them?"

"It’s fine if she doesn’t like them, I have others. Although they’re from collateral branches, as long as Miss Wan likes them, that’s enough," Zhang Sheng said adaptively.

For a while, the two of them looked displeased with each other, and they actually started arguing right in front of me.

Zhang Jia’s face turned red and his neck swelled, "Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. You’re just trying to curry favor with Miss Wan so you can stand out among the Six Great Clan Elders in the future."

"You say that as if you aren’t trying to benefit from her, bringing along your most cherished grandson. The patriarch hasn’t even ascended, and you’ve already taken his place. You deserved that one kick," Zhang Sheng retorted, unwilling to show weakness.

They argued back and forth, the quarrel showing no signs of ending.

At this moment, I seemed to understand a little why Zhang Zidao insisted on having an outsider like me take over the Zhang Family.

The Zhang Family was currently beset by internal and external problems, with fierce infighting among the major forces.

If any clan elder had the capability to manage and wield power, they wouldn’t have invited Zhang Che to take charge.

I waited for them to finish quarreling and then slowly took out the marriage certificate I had on me, "Elders, please stop arguing. I’m already married, and I can’t possibly accept someone you’re introducing."

After I said this, most of the young men in the hall visibly relaxed.

In this day and age, even within grand families, not many people want their marriages controlled by elders. Who doesn’t want to find love freely?

"Miss Wan, so young, already married?" Zhang Sheng looked incredulous.

Zhang Jia reached out to take the marriage certificate, "So what if you’re married? It can end. No outsider, no matter how good, can be stronger than a descendant of the Zhang family..."

As he opened the marriage certificate, a mischievous face came into view.

The face carried a faint smile, and those long peach blossom eyes seemed to possess a soul-stealing, bewitching power, leaving Zhang Sheng and Zhang Jia with grim expressions.

"Yu Longting, this name, this appearance," Zhang Sheng said word by word, "is Snake Lord!!"

Zhang Jia sneered, "There have always been rumors, that Lin Huan’s granddaughter willingly degraded herself and married into the Snake Tribe; it seems true."

"Whether true or not, old man, I didn’t beg to inherit the Zhang Family’s mantle; it was entrusted to me by my master," I said, noticing Zhang Jia’s grip tightening on the marriage certificate. I took it back lovingly before storing it away like a treasure.

Zhang Jia looked at me coldly, "Stop pretending to be innocent. You clearly bewitched the patriarch into accepting you as a disciple."

"Miss Wan, we aren’t being unreasonable," Zhang Sheng, unlike Zhang Jia, wasn’t so overbearing, and he tried a gentle approach to persuade me, "With an outsider in charge of the Celestial Master Sect, how could it make sense not to intermarry with the talented within the clan?"

"Elder Sheng, I think we’re wasting our breath no matter what we say," Zhang Jia gave me a contemptuous glance before leaving, "Not only has she gotten married, but to someone who’s a demon, which is an insult to our Zhang Family."

Zhang Sheng, deeply scheming, still harbored some leniency towards me, and advised once more, "It’s said that the Snake Lord closely resembles the Dragon Emperor. Both are peerless beauties in this world; mortals can’t hope to look so good. We all appreciate beauty — Miss Wan, have you considered taking another husband?"

"I’m afraid that won’t work. My Snake Lord is quite jealous." No matter what Zhang Sheng thought, he was at least polite and courteous, so I spoke kindly to him as well.

My mom chimed in from the side, "Yes, yes. Even though it’s not ancient times anymore, where women had to obey three men, and the principle of one husband and one wife is advocated, getting Wanwan to find another wouldn’t be appropriate."
