Marrying a White Snake Wife is Super Cool

Chapter 542: Chapter 296: When the Wifey Gets Polite, Something Big is Bound to Happen

Su Liyan’s mother made up an excuse and sent Su Liyan’s father away.

She then hurried to Xiaoqian’s room, where she witnessed a brutal, an utterly brutal scene.

Her usually docile son, Su Changliang, was on his knees, frantically pummeling an embroidered pillow on the ground.

At that moment, he looked just like Iori Yagami from the game *King of Fighters*.

He had punched a huge hole straight through the soft, embroidered pillow and even gouged a deep pit in the floor beneath it.

Su Liyan’s mother cautiously approached, patting his back. "Son, what on earth are you doing?"

Su Changliang stopped pummeling the "Xiaoqian" on the floor and whipped around to face his mother.

Then, Su Changliang lunged at his own mother...

’Oh no! I can’t maintain the Illusion Skill!’ Xiaoqian thought in a panic.

Xiaoqian was pregnant, which made it difficult for her to maintain the Magic. The Illusion Skill would only break if someone found its Magic Eye, or if she dispelled it herself.

Her pregnancy made it difficult to sustain the Magic.

The moment Su Changliang had entered the room, Xiaoqian had grown suspicious and secretly cast the Illusion Skill.

Luckily, Xiaoqian was quick-witted enough to protect her unborn child; Su Changliang had been trapped in the illusion.

Xiaoqian slipped out of the Su Mansion. When she couldn’t find her mother-in-law, she had no choice but to hurry to the Lu Mansion to seek help from her sister and brother-in-law.

But before Xiaoqian could even reach the Lu Mansion, Su Liyan’s mother had already returned to the Su Mansion.

The intrusion of Su Liyan’s mother shattered the already failing Illusion Skill.

Losing control, Su Changliang tossed aside the embroidered pillow and charged at his mother, black smoke spewing from his mouth.

With her left hand pressed to her lower back, beads of sweat dotted Xiaoqian’s face.

When the two guards at the Lu Mansion Gate saw Xiaoqian approaching, they rushed forward to steady her, their hearts filled with concern.

Xiaoqian pulled her arms back, shaking off their support. "Please announce me," she said. "I have urgent business with my sister."

One guard remained to protect her while the other rushed into the mansion.

Su Liyan was chatting with her two aunts and Gu Ziye.

Lu Yuan was still in his room, either refining Elixirs or cultivating. Normally, no one would dare disturb him at this hour.

When she heard the guard’s report, Su Liyan dropped the melon seeds she was snacking on and went out with a smile to greet her visitor.

Su Liyan spread her hands and smiled. "Little sister, what brings you to the Lu Mansion to see me today?"

Sweating, Xiaoqian grasped Su Liyan’s hands with both of her own.

Su Liyan could feel Xiaoqian’s heart pounding, and her palms were clammy with sweat.

Su Liyan glanced behind Xiaoqian, then spoke first. "What’s wrong? Did you get into a fight with my little brother?"

"No... we didn’t fight. He’s trying to kill me!" Xiaoqian said, catching her breath.

"What?" Su Liyan’s face was a mask of disbelief.

’As his own sister, how could she not know what kind of person Su Changliang was?’

’It’s normal for couples to bicker and clash. There’s no couple that doesn’t fight. But it shouldn’t escalate to life-or-death struggles.’

Su Liyan helped Xiaoqian steady herself, gently patting her back. "Little sister, let’s get you inside first," she said softly. "You can tell me everything slowly."

Xiaoqian nodded, and Su Liyan helped her into one of the rooms.

Su Liyan poured Xiaoqian a cup of tea. "What exactly happened?"

Xiaoqian said, "Sister, I don’t know the details myself. He was covered in black smoke and looked absolutely terrifying. If I hadn’t used an Illusion Technique, you wouldn’t be seeing me right now."

Hearing this, Su Liyan reassured her, "Don’t be afraid, little sister. Sounds like he’s possessed. I’ll just have to... loosen up his bones for him, and he’ll be fine."

"Loosen up his bones?" Xiaoqian didn’t understand the expression and asked for clarification.

Su Liyan said with utter confidence, "That’s right. Beat him until he submits."

Su Liyan straightened her clothes. "Don’t you worry about a thing. You stay here for now. I’ll be right back."

Xiaoqian wanted to return to the Su Mansion with her, but Su Liyan insisted she stay at the Lu Mansion.

She was afraid something might happen to Xiaoqian, and then the Su Family would have failed her completely.

Seeing that her sister-in-law wouldn’t let her go, Xiaoqian clutched her belly and relented. "Sister, be gentle. Don’t hit him too hard."

Xiaoqian was well aware of Su Liyan’s strength.

Su Changliang was definitely no match for his sister.

Su Liyan exited the room, leaped clean over the high courtyard wall, and, avoiding the crowded streets, made a beeline for the Su Mansion.

Sensing the sounds of a fight from within the Su Mansion, she vaulted straight over the wall.

She saw her mother struggling against the possessed Su Changliang.

Su Liyan could tell her mother was holding back, afraid of hurting her son. Most of the techniques she used were focused on Binding, restraining, or entangling him.

Seeing her brother’s crazed state, Su Liyan, her anger flaring, leaped directly between the two.

Su Liyan’s expression was grim, a furious Flame seeming to burn between her brows.

"Mother," Su Liyan said coldly, "step aside. Let me handle him!"

Su Liyan’s mother darted to the side. "Daughter, be gentle!"

"Mmm!"

Su Liyan grunted in reluctant agreement.

In this world, there wasn’t an older sister alive who wouldn’t put her younger brother in his place.

When a boy was young, his parents might not say much if he made a small mistake.

But his older sister would be the first to give him a slap or a kick. As the saying goes, "A sapling needs pruning to grow straight, and a person needs a good thrashing to stay in line!"

Spitting black smoke, Su Changliang staggered toward Su Liyan like a zombie.

He seemed to move slowly, but he was deceptively fast.

With her hands behind her back, Su Liyan observed his every move. This was indeed a far cry from his usual self.

As Su Changliang charged, Su Liyan dodged in a flash, then landed a vicious slap across his fair face.

Su Changliang spun around several times, the whites of his eyes showing for just a moment from within his blackened irises.

Seeing that it was working, Su Liyan showed no mercy. She began to slap him repeatedly, spinning him like a top.

With each sharp CRACK, Su Liyan counted aloud. "One... two... three..."

This broke the heart of Su Liyan’s mother, who was watching from the side. She cried out, "Daughter, have mercy! That’s your own brother!"

Su Changliang tried to counterattack, whipping his cyan snake tail, but Su Liyan instantly grabbed it by the tip, immobilizing him.

Without lessening her grip, Su Liyan said, "I know, Mother!"

Wisps of black smoke began to peel away from Su Changliang’s body.

’It was working!’

Su Liyan’s mother watched from the side, looking distressed.

The black Striped Snake inside Su Changliang’s body felt its head spin.

It turned out Su Liyan was secretly channeling a Technique through her palm, which had a suppressive effect on the Striped Snake hidden within Su Changliang’s body.

However, Su Liyan hadn’t found the root cause of the affliction. She couldn’t completely expel the Striped Snake from his body, only knock it unconscious.

Thanks to Su Liyan’s "care," Su Changliang gradually came to his senses.

The mother and daughter were overjoyed. Su Liyan’s mother rushed to her son, cupping his swollen face. "Daughter, you hit him far too hard," she said, her voice filled with heartache.

Su Liyan replied, "But look, Mother. Isn’t he all better now?"

Su Changliang was conscious, but his body was extremely weak. He felt a sharp pain in his chest whenever he tried to circulate his Inner Strength. "Sister," he said, "take me to my brother-in-law."

Mother and daughter exchanged a look. "Let’s go," Su Liyan’s mother said. "We’ll go right now."

The two of them understood without him having to explain. The root of his affliction clearly hadn’t been dealt with.

Su Changliang chose to be treated by his brother-in-law, Lu Yuan, rather than his own sister, for no other reason than that he didn’t appreciate her... direct and violent methods.

With his mother’s help, Su Changliang boarded a carriage bound for the Lu Mansion.

While Su Liyan’s mother supported her barely conscious son, Su Liyan reluctantly knocked on Lu Yuan’s door.

"My dear, I’m so sorry to disturb you," Su Liyan said, her tone unusually polite. "I need your help with something!"

Lu Yuan was in his room cultivating, consolidating the Secret Manuals he had previously received as a system reward.

He was waiting for the right moment to open *Heaven-Reaching* and begin studying it.

Hearing his wife speak so politely, Lu Yuan’s heart skipped a beat.

’When my wife gets this polite, it can only mean one thing: big trouble!’
