My Demon Husband Is a Snake Chapter 1176: Jump In, and You Can Leave

"Who knows, I don’t really associate with them. Quite a few of Piao Changji’s women were less than intelligent," Xiao Li murmured into my ear. "Didn’t you kill Piao Changji? Some of his women actually ran headfirst into a pillar in their grief."

"Huh…?? I thought to myself, there must be something wrong with their brains. He was short, repulsive, a perverted spirit with a history of domestic abuse, yet someone still yearned for him to the point of ending their own life?"

Now that he was dead, shouldn’t the women he held captive be liberated? Shouldn’t they be setting off firecrackers in celebration?

The entire city was eerily silent, with ordinary citizens taking refuge indoors.

The majority of the Soft-shelled Turtle Spirits had been fatally bitten by Yu Longting’s venomous snakes; their bodies lay overturned, shells scattered as blood seeped into the ochre earth.

The scene eerily resembled an Asura City.

However, I felt that this Demon City had finally been purged.

"Longting, is there truly no way for the people trapped within the painting to depart? It’s not just us anymore; Xiao Li is here, and Beichen is waiting anxiously outside." Originally, I had hoped to spend a little more time with Yu Longting in this newly purified territory, but now, I had to consult him on an exit strategy.

Yu Longting’s imposing figure cast a long shadow against the blazing sunset. "Yes, there is."

"That’s wonderful! You’re incredible! MUA~" I stood on my tiptoes and planted a kiss on his chin.

The man’s profound eyes narrowed slightly as his fingertip grazed the spot where he’d been kissed, seemingly lingering on the sensation.

Slowly, from the sleeve of his unbuttoned shirt, he produced a bottle, neither too large nor too small. "Jump inside, and you can leave."

Such a small sleeve, yet it could produce snakes and a bottle.

It must be his unique technique; I could never fathom how he managed to conceal it.

No, wait a moment. Just now, when he was removing his attire…

There was no indication of a bottle or snakes hidden within his clothing…

"Isn’t this the Colored Glaze Immortal Vase?" I accepted it, finally convinced I wasn't imagining things.

Yu Longting’s fingernail lightly tapped the vase. "Before I handed Zhao Sihai over to Qingyang, I bartered for his three bottles."

Though it was a simple tap, I sensed a transformation in the vase’s properties. It appeared Yu Longting had temporarily converted the Immortal Vase into a portal.

"So, this means you retrieved the final bottle and presented it to him?" I inquired.

Yu Longting’s lips curved into a smile. "When I accompanied Qingyang, I simply took the opportunity to excavate the bottle."

Since the bottle could be recovered from Zhao Sihai, there was no pretense of it being undiscovered.

"Zhao Sihai couldn’t linger and was eager to depart, so he naturally had to agree to your terms," I deduced. Bending down, I placed the bottle on the ground. "Xiao Li, hurry and jump into the bottle."

"A bottle?? Such a minuscule object, its opening isn’t even as wide as my finger, and you expect me to jump inside??" Xiao Li appeared bewildered.

I rubbed my head, retrieved a rope from a nearby wooden post, and tossed it toward the bottle’s opening.

The rope was immediately drawn in and vanished. "See? Much like how the King Golden Horn and King Silver Horn’s gourds could ensnare Monkey Sun."

In truth, the art of transforming a bottle into a gateway isn’t exclusive to the Immortal Realm.

Numerous esoteric techniques from overseas have explored similar practices, and countless folktales document such abilities.

These often involved utilizing a hedgehog’s eye to rip open a dimensional rift.

Old Zhao’s bottle hailed from another world, rendering it significantly more potent.
