The protagonist enters a dangerous swamp to find Yu Longting. Despite the perilous environment and chilling waters, Yu Longting holds the protagonist close, trying to comfort them. When the protagonist’s foot is grabbed by unseen entities, Yu Longting kisses them, claiming it will ward off the swamp’s dangers. The protagonist questions this method, but the unseen threats recede as their lips remain locked.

"Are you worn out?" Yu Longting’s arm encircled my waist.

Letting out a sigh, I tucked my face into his chest, my voice failing me.

Each of my bones felt shattered, as if my entire being was disintegrating.

He had never been so aggressive, nor had he ever acted so unconventionally in such a perilous location.

"Don't celebrate prematurely." Yu Longting’s legs morphed into a lengthy tail, allowing me to rest upon it while leaning against his chest. "These insidious dangers appear every six hours. If we endure them, we may rest; if not, we shall be consumed."

The way I was held, nestled in his embrace, was even more comfortable than lounging on a plush sofa.

His tail was sleek, immense, and possessed remarkable elasticity.

It could adopt countless forms~

"I am truly content." Tears streamed down my face as I gradually raised my head, gazing at his impeccably sculpted jawline.

Extending my fingers, I tenderly traced its contours again and again.

Yu Longting softly questioned, "Oh? You are satisfied with being sustained by me?"

"Not in the slightest. Had you not possessed the Dust World Serpent statue, I would have perished upon my initial descent into the Nether Spring. My gratitude knows no bounds." My fingertip brushed against the scar on his cheek, seeming to draw a solitary line back and forth.

Yu Longting seized my wrist with his cool hand, bestowing a few kisses upon the back of it. "At that juncture, my primordial spirit had only just regained its freedom. You were exceptionally fortunate."

"Did your primordial spirit emerge from the Triangular Prism?" After such a long separation, I held him close once more, savoring every precious second.

Clinging to him like ivy, it felt as though this was the sole method to attain a sense of security.

Yu Longting peered down at me. "Your powers of observation are indeed remarkably keen. When you and that Human Snake departed the hall, you appeared to have discerned my presence through the Triangular Prism."

So, this individual's claim of being unaware of the entrance was entirely fabricated.

It was indeed via the Triangular Prism that his primordial spirit had exited, though the means by which Yu Longting had entered remained a mystery.

Yet, despite knowing I had been misled, I found myself incapable of harboring anger towards him—only a profound ache settled within my heart.

"I apologize, Wanwan, I was dishonest with you. What are your intentions moving forward?" Yu Longting draped the discarded cheongsam over me, meticulously helping me into it.

Although he merely assisted with the sleeves, a flicker of annoyance crossed his features.

His grip on my arm tightened, his gaze expressing dissatisfaction with the cheongsam's cumbersome nature, yet he could not refrain from dressing me.

I drew a deep breath, and my Spiritual Power coursed unimpeded.

All the yang energy within me had been drained, leaving the coalesced spiritual power veiled and infused with a sullen, malevolent essence. "Naturally, I intend to escape with you. For what other reason would I have entered?"

"Did you not enter with the intention of perishing alongside me?" Yu Longting completed dressing me in the cheongsam, his hands gripping my shoulders as if intending to shatter my bones.

A suppressed darkness within his eyes was now slowly, terrifyingly being unleashed.

Clearing my throat, I took Yu Longting’s cool yet gentle hand and rubbed it, as though attempting to impart warmth to him. "I am a descendant of the Lin Family and possess mastery over Life and Death Embroidery. With my presence, we are certain to discover a viable path."

With a solemn and sincere expression, I commenced an examination of our surroundings.

The Nether Pond was, without question, a place of dread; relying solely on my own power, I would soon succumb to the pond's insidious corruption.

Deep within the pond, a chaotic, all-consuming power must surely reside.

To survive, we must avoid being ensnared by monstrous entities. Our only recourse is to locate an exit through the Triangular Prism, mirroring our entry.

However, the boons bestowed by this realm are notoriously unpredictable. Even formidable cultivators such as Yu Qingxiao and Qing Li were not guided by the mirror.

Yet, my successful passage through the gateway signifies that I possess a reasonable chance of extracting Yu Longting from this predicament.

The more I pondered these possibilities, the more my confidence surged, a triumphant melody seemingly resonating within my heart.

Observing my elation, Yu Longting gently massaged the space between my eyebrows, bestowing repeated kisses upon the corners of my mouth. "What thoughts are bringing you such joy? Do you, in fact, possess a stratagem?"
