My Demon Husband Is a Snake Chapter 1158: Are We Going to Be GG?

"Disappeared?" My forehead beaded with sweat, the throbbing pain in my foot notwithstanding."

Despite the agony, I forced myself to crawl towards the antique painting."

Xiao Li had been pulled into this very object. Could it possibly be a malevolent painting that consumed people?"

That scoundrel spirit was a master of deception; lesser spirits already harbored more cunning than average beings. Surely, the paintings adorning this place couldn't be ordinary."

When Yu Longting and I first arrived here, I had found these paintings quite peculiar indeed."

This specific painting shouldn't be tampered with, or Xiao Li's life could very well be at stake."

Yet, she had been mysteriously drawn in by some unseen force. If I didn't devise a method to extract her without delay, knowing Piao Changji, she was likely in dire peril within."

Just as I was about to extend my hand and touch the painting to discern its strangeness, a cold, large hand seized my wrist. "Do not touch it. This painting is known as the 'Another World Painting.' If you touch it, you will be drawn in, entering the world contained within the artwork.""

"So, Xiao Li just entered the world inside?" I carefully studied the ancient painting, which bore a resemblance to the 'Walking on a Palanquin' artwork. It depicted a vibrant, bustling ancient street."

Glimmering brothels and bustling gambling dens reminiscent of the Qing era were present, alongside pits for cockfighting where crowds gathered to spectate."

Amidst the throng of people, I managed to discern a girl enveloped in White Gauze within the painting's scene."

However, time seemed to flow with extreme rapidity within the painted world. Thus, after the girl appeared clad in tattered garments and became the focus of the crowd's attention, she swiftly vanished once more."

Wuyue gently guided me a little farther from the painting. He then bent down, his long fingers lightly caressing my fiercely aching ankle. He removed my shoes and socks before biting his own finger."

Using his golden blood, he inscribed an intricate Snake Seal upon my ankle. "These things do not belong in this world; only celestial beings possess them. You are merely mortals. What lies within is extraordinary; should you enter, not even your bones would remain. And furthermore...""

"Furthermore, what?" I inquired of Wuyue."

Wuyue's gaze drifted towards a patch of ancient painting ash, where blood had seeped into the wooden floor. "Once you are inside, your life will be subject to the control of others. The moment someone destroys this painting, you will perish within.""

"Wuyue, the saying goes, 'Without entering the tiger's lair, one cannot catch the tiger.' Xiao Li faces imminent life-threatening danger in there, possibly encountering Piao Changji's avatar or even his true form." By this point, I had long cast aside all thoughts of life and death in my heart. Xiao Li's ordinary life had been irrevocably disrupted. If I couldn't rescue her, how could I face Beichen?"

Moreover, Xiao Li is the only true friend I have in this lifetime; there is no possibility I would leave her in peril."

The intense pain in my ankle had already subsided. With gratitude, I looked at Wuyue, who was still squatting on the ground, and softly stated, "You can simply guard this painting. Once I am inside, I need not worry about the artwork being destroyed.""

With that declaration, I lifted my foot and stepped directly into the painting."

Wuyue attempted to grasp me, but his hand managed only to snag a few strands of my hair."

He cruelly yanked them free."

If I experience hair loss and a receding hairline in middle age, it will undoubtedly be his fault!"

The stinging sensation from the hair roots connected to my scalp made me squeeze my eyes shut tightly before I found myself standing on the bustling street."

Lately, I seem to have a peculiar affinity for different dimensions."

After entering the Nether Pond via the Triangular Prism, I had assumed that was the closest I would come to experiencing spatial transference in my life."

Who would have thought that not long after, while searching for Xiao Li, I would end up within an ancient painting?"

The artwork was filled with figures wearing attire from the Song Dynasty. Upon seeing me in my modern clothing, they all pointed at me with exotic curiosity and began to gossip."

I was about to approach someone to ask if they had seen the girl shrouded in White Gauze who had just appeared on this street."

Just then, the murmurs of the crowd intensified, their interest shifting away from me."

Instead, they began pointing at something beside me."

I glanced to my side and nearly rolled my eyes and fainted. "Didn't you say that once inside the painting, if it's destroyed, those within would be finished? You came in here, and Piao Changji's avatar destroyed the painting – wouldn't that mean we're doomed?"
