My Demon Husband Is a Snake Chapter 1127: Descent

I pride myself on my brilliant idea. "Is there a method to shield you from the Nether Pond's corrosive effects, allowing you to concentrate on breaking through your current realm? Perhaps I could support you, like Stacked Arhats, or hold you horizontally, preventing contact with this dreadful water?"

"Oh~ such a clever notion, why didn't it occur to me?" Yu Longting's voice was slow, his long fingers gently pinching my earlobe.

My ego inflated with pride. "Well, isn't it self-evident? It's because I'm intellectually superior to you."

"Let me pose a question. How can you guarantee your body won't be utterly consumed if you immerse yourself in the water?" Yu Longting inquired softly, a smile playing on his lips as he pinched my cheek.

Gazing at Yu Longting, his handsomeness resembled that of a smiling tiger, yet his demeanor exuded an intimidating aura.

I rubbed my head, then rubbed it again. "It seems my concept isn't fully developed, but I believe the general direction is sound."

"Direction??" Yu Longting echoed the word, his lips brushing against my brow bone in a tender kiss.

It felt like a desperate gambler, unable to settle their debts, having nothing left to lose.

We're already facing a life-or-death situation, yet the tension feels remarkably absent.

Still engaged in playful banter in various ways~

"The direction towards enhancing your strength." I wrapped my arms around Yu Longting's neck and whispered, "If the worst unfolds, we have Dragon Dad and Dragon Mom. They will undoubtedly come to our rescue."

Upon hearing my words, Yu Longting became lost in a prolonged silence.

Meanwhile, his fingers traced the curve of my waist. Despite my existing ticklishness, he continued his ministrations, and still, he offered no reply.

A prickle of unease surfaced within me. I gently held his hand down. "Stop touching me so casually. Is my idea unworkable? Is there no potential for refinement?"

"There is, but it's considered somewhat... unsanitary," Yu Longting finally responded.

I failed to grasp his meaning of 'unsanitary' and simply followed his lead. "Are you suggesting we conceive a child within the Nether Pond? A supremely powerful offspring that would then extract us?"

"Wanwan, you..." Yu Longting, usually possessing immense composure, was rendered speechless by the direction of my thoughts. "Your potential is being squandered if you don't pursue novel writing."

"What genre of novels necessitates such 'unsanitary' creativity?" I inquired instinctively.

Yu Longting covered his forehead with his hand. After a moment, he whispered, "The depths of the Nether Pond are permeated with a malevolent aura; anyone submerged would be beyond salvation. However, it also serves as a crucible for rapid power augmentation, and enduring its trials bestows profound increases in strength. But..."

"But what?" I pressed, my anxiety mounting.

Yu Longting regarded me with a complex gaze, surprisingly choosing not to elaborate.

Is the explanation too arduous?

He remains silent, can I not venture a guess?

"Have you never attempted it alone? Is it because the process requires dual cooperation?" I stroked my chin in speculation, feeling akin to a female Zhuge Liang. "You and I engaging in that act, causing the malevolence to dissipate – do we need to descend and perform some ritual?"

"The synergy of Yin and Yang possesses immense potency, capable of neutralizing the malevolent energies, though not in the crude manner you envision. A simple linkage to share Spiritual Power is sufficient. However, once we descend, we will face trials of extreme magnitude." Yu Longting's expression turned grave, his fingers caressing my cheek. "If Qing Li and Yu Qingxiao weren't potentially unwilling to descend and rescue us, I would hesitate... but I cannot bear the thought of you being annihilated alongside me."

"Self-reliance is superior to depending on others. As long as we, as husband and wife, stand united, we shall undoubtedly overcome this predicament!" I embraced Yu Longting tightly, offering him a grand, loving boost of encouragement.

Abruptly, a cheerful peal of laughter pierced the atmosphere.

A pair of arms encircled me fiercely, pulling me with sudden force into the depths of the Nether Pond. Instantly, water as heavy as lead inundated my ear canals.

My hearing vanished in an instant, my world plunging into an unnerving silence. Even with my eyes open, visibility was nil, and the sensation of Yu Longting's embrace grew increasingly distorted and indistinct.
