My Demon Husband Is a Snake Chapter 1124: Don’t You Dare Turn the Tables on Me

It was no surprise that the water felt so thick, as it turned out to be a swamp teeming with mud.

A murky gray mist enveloped the entirety of the swamp.

From moment to moment, bubbles would surface from the swamp’s mire, and spectral cobalt blue flames would sporadically flicker through the haze.

Especially when submerged in the water, a bone-chilling coldness would penetrate deeply, one that felt as if it could pierce through the very soul.

Merely inches from plunging into its depths, I could perceive a layer of dust settling over the heavenly fire within me, inexplicably causing it to dim.

The man submerged in the water, clad in dark attire, was dripping wet.

The top two buttons of his shirt were undone, exposing his fair, cool chest.

After I called out, "Snake Brother," the man's overwhelming anger subsided, melting into tender pity, and he let out a soft sigh, "Sigh, didn’t you promise not to enter the Nether Pond?"

"Did I promise that? Really? No way, I distinctly recall you asking me to come in to keep you company. I’m merely following your instructions. Don’t you dare turn around and blame me now." As soon as I uttered these words, the gray mist hanging in the air invaded my lungs, freezing them as if with ice, and I began to cough, "Cough, cough, cough..."

The frigid sensation had already surpassed the limits of human endurance. Fortunately, I possessed the heavenly fire, which still radiated a measure of yang energy to counteract the pervasive cold of this place.

My body suddenly felt lighter as I was drawn closer to Yu Longting’s chest.

He embraced me tightly, his somewhat rigid fingers awkwardly caressing my long hair. A warm strength emanated from his fingertips, creating a barrier against the infiltrating coldness, "I was merely putting on an act; couldn’t you tell? Why must you act so recklessly and cause me to worry?"

"I couldn’t tell. Alas, Yu Longting, something is gripping my foot!" In a state of shock, I clutched Yu Longting’s waist with all my might.

Initially, it felt like a human hand had grasped my ankle, but then I realized there were thousands upon thousands of tiny hands.

These phantom appendages brushed against me as I stood immersed in the water, my senses numbed by the cold.

Yu Longting’s voice, hoarse and strained, echoed in my ear, "Is it a hand? Are you certain you aren’t mistaken?"

"There are so many, so incredibly many, and they seem to be pulling me down, intending to devour me." Panic seized me, and I clung to Yu Longting as if he were my last hope.

Had he endured this existence in the water all these days?

On one hand, he remained within Wuyue's body to provide companionship, and on the other, he had to contend with the terrifying yin creatures lurking in the water, capable of swallowing mortals whole. The slightest misstep would lead to eternal damnation.

Suddenly, my lips were sealed by his soft, cool, and slender lips.

Yu Longting’s hands moved to unfasten my cheongsam, one button at a time, and his kisses, both deep and tender, made my head spin.

I forgot about the monstrosities in the water, forgetting that my current cultivation level might not sustain me for long.

I could have been swallowed by the Netherworld, becoming an integral part of the Nether Pond.

With half of my cheongsam slid from my shoulders, I slightly regained my senses. "Hey, what are you doing? Even in this situation… you’re still doing this…"

"Did I ever tell you that I wanted to tease you?" Yu Longting’s fingers, resembling fine jade chopsticks, pinched my cheeks, and he intensified his kiss.

I was completely overwhelmed, my lungs rapidly depleting of oxygen. "But not here… this place is truly strange. Hey, are you even listening to me?"

"Comply with me, cooperate with me, and you won’t be dragged away by these resentful spirits. Since you’ve entered, you must accept the inevitable consequences." As the man’s voice deepened with passion, my fingers intertwined tightly with his.

No matter how thick-skinned I tried to be, my heart couldn’t help but pound, my face flushing a deep red. "Does this mean… by doing this… the terror of the Nether Pond can be dispelled? That’s too absurd, isn’t it?"

"In this vast world, my dear wife, there are countless things you remain unaware of."

The watery current in the mud grazed my ankle, and the piercing sensation had significantly lessened.

Above was an unending darkness, and the wails echoing from the mist gradually faded. The disembodied hands that had been touching and dragging me deeper also slowly released their hold on me entirely…
