My mother brings home a woman named Julia Hayden from the back of the hill and makes her my sister-in-law. Our family is poor. As Julia is beautiful, my mother forces her to work as a prostitute in secret to earn money for the family. But a villager, Lara Clay, says Julia is not human. When my brother sleeps with her, I peek inside through a crack in the door. In the dim yellow light, I see the shadow of a huge snake tightly coiling itself around my brother's body on the wall...

My Brother's Bride Is a Serpent Chapter 9
Our village used to be called Snake Village.The hills behind the village were full of snakes, and every family made a living by catching them. But snakes were believed to have spirits, so many villagers were swarmed and bitten to death while hunting them. To avoid retribution, the villagers built a shrine to honor the Snake Goddess.Later, an occult specialist named Walter Maxwell came to the village. He claimed that the accumulated rage and spiritual energy of every snake the village had ever killed had gathered at the Snake Goddess shrine and taken the form of a golden snake.The golden snake carried two golden cores inside it. Whoever consumed them would gain immortality and tremendous power. For this reason, Mr. Maxwell set his sights on them.He went to Mr. Franklin and proposed that they work together to take the golden snake's cores.That very day, the golden snake was giving birth and was at her weakest. Mr. Maxwell took advantage of the situation and stole one of its cor

Mr. Maxwell pulled a bell from his pocket and shook it frantically. It let out a sharp, clear sound. The moment the golden snake heard it, its body thrashed violently. But no matter how hard it struggled, it couldn't break free of the rope.A howling cold wind poured into the shrine. Several of the girls had already fainted from fright. I kept my eyes fixed on the golden snake as the glow across its body slowly dimmed.Just then, a familiar fragrance drifted from behind me. I turned around to see Philip—no, it was Julia in his body—walking in.Mr. Maxwell glanced at Julia without stopping his hand from jingling the bell. He let out a mocking laugh. "You really are cunning. You slipped right through my trap and even hid yourself inside someone else. I suppose you agreed to be his wife just to wait for a moment like this."Julia gave a cold laugh. "It was the village men who couldn't help themselves. They even let me drain their energy on the night of the vigil, greatly boosting my p

I nodded. No one in the village had hunted snakes for years, so the Snake Goddess shrine was probably in ruin.Just as Philip was about to continue, Faye walked toward us with her swollen belly. "Philip, Kate, you need to go home right now. Your mom is dead!"I froze in shock, but Philip's expression remained unchanged. There was even a hint of coldness in his gaze.By the time we reached home, a crowd had already gathered around the house. Mr. Franklin and Mr. Maxwell were there too.Mom lay on the bed. She had died the same way as Felix, with tiny snakes crawling out of her stomach and mouth.When the pregnant women in the village saw this, they began to vomit, though it was unclear whether it was from shock or their condition. As they threw up, their stomachs suddenly began to ache. They collapsed to the ground one by one, crying out in pain.Mr. Maxwell's face fell when he saw that I was still alive. He muttered that something had gone wrong, then took out a stack of charms f

Before I even got home, Lara pulled me aside. She looked at me with a troubled expression. "Kate, I only figured out last night that you've been set up. That so-called specialist is out to harm you.""What? Mr. Maxwell wants to harm me?""That's right. He used your blood to seal away Julia so she would only remember you. A snake demon's resentment doesn't fade that easily. He's planning to sacrifice you to save the rest of the village."Kate, remember—if Julia comes looking for you tonight, you must not answer her. If you don't respond, she won't be able to find you."I drifted home in a daze after hearing what Lara said. For some reason, Mom and Philip had both gone to bed unusually early.I buried myself under the covers, too afraid to close my eyes, on edge at the slightest sound. As I drifted in and out of sleep, I felt a cold draft against my neck.When I opened my eyes, I saw a figure lingering by my bed, a long tail trailing behind it like a snake's."Kate, it's me, Julia

I kept Lara's words in the back of my mind.While Mom went out to chat with the neighbors, I quietly slipped to the door of Julia's room. It wasn't fully closed. Through the gap, I saw Julia's flushed cheeks. Her dark hair hung over her chest, making her skin look strikingly pale.Julia's legs wer

Philip made a deafening sound inside the room.Mom stood outside with her hands on her hips and shouted, "You useless woman, hurry up and give our family a grandchild, or I'll make you suffer!"I felt sorry for Julia.I couldn't sleep, so I wandered aimlessly around the village and ended up at La

Mom glared at me. "Stop talking nonsense. This is my precious grandson. Look at how soft and fair he is. He's so handsome."Mom must have lost her mind. She was actually treating an egg laid by a snake demon as her grandchild.The egg hadn't hatched yet, but once it did, our whole family would be
