My Silly, Sweet Wife

Accompanied by the sound of the Snake Woman’s voice, Netherworld Mountain unexpectedly emitted a series of long howls.

Countless figures swiftly rushed towards the Snake Woman.

In the blink of an eye, over a thousand figures appeared in front of the Snake Woman, their speed leaving people astonished.

They surrounded the Snake Woman, glaring at the ten demon shadows.

Seeing this, Haotian laughed complacently, ”Kill!”

The ten demon shadows hesitated briefly, then quickly charged at the Snake Woman.

But the next second, those surrounding the Snake Woman unexpectedly dashed towards her.

Each one that collided with her directly merged into her body.

In just a few seconds, the Snake Woman’s power kept escalating.

At first, the Snake Woman was only at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

But as more and more figures merged into her, she quickly ascended to the Divinity Transformation Realm.

However, once she reached the Divinity Transformation Realm, the speed of ascension began to slow down.

”Die!”

The Snake Woman pointed her finger.

An invisible force struck a demon shadow, shattering it completely, not even its soul remained.

Then, with a wave of her hand, the Snake Woman destroyed two more demon shadows.

The ease with which she did it made it seem like eliminating a demon shadow was effortless.

”So powerful!”

Haotian’s eyelids twitched rapidly.

Although he knew the Snake Woman was strong, he never expected her to be this powerful.

Fortunately, there was a plan in place, otherwise, even if the Demon Saint descended, it might be impossible to slay the Snake Woman.

”Hmph, I don’t believe you’re truly invincible!” A trace of cunning flashed in Haotian’s eyes as he quietly made a gesture.

The avatar previously controlled by Haotian also quickly merged into the Snake Woman’s body.

At first, the Snake Woman had no reaction, but as all the avatars fused into her, she unobstructedly entered the realm of the Immortal.

Her eyes turned to those demon shadows, as if looking at ants.

”Die!”

She uttered a word, and without any visible action, the remaining demon shadows turned to dust and perished completely.

”Could this be an Immortal?”

Haotian’s pupils contracted.

He never imagined that the backup plan the Demon Saint left for him would be entirely obliterated.

At this moment, he dared not show himself and quickly hid away, waiting for the effect of the avatar he controlled.

The human cultivators on the celestial bridge all raised their heads, gazing at the Snake Woman.

Seeing her draped in sacred white robes, surrounded by a halo, they couldn’t help but kneel, starting to worship her.

Faced with an Immortal, the overwhelming pressure left them with no room to resist.

The Snake Woman merely glanced at those human cultivators, murmuring to herself, ”I’ve lain dormant for so many years to ensure the Demon Clan’s seal wouldn’t break, but now that I’ve returned, even though I’m not back to my peak state, the Demon Clan’s chaos is not far off.”

No one else knew, but back in the day, to seal the Demon Clan, the Snake Woman had no choice but to disperse her cultivation, turning it into avatars.

But now, for Ye Guichen, the Snake Woman had no choice but to reclaim all her avatars.

This has caused the seal on the Demon Clan to become increasingly loose.

It probably won’t be long before the hidden gate swings wide open.

But now, the Snake Woman couldn’t care about that anymore.

She sighed softly, her form turning into a stream of light, plunging directly into the Black River.

”Demon Dragon, reveal yourself immediately!” Once entering the Black River, the Snake Woman issued a cold snort.

This Demon Dragon was left here by the Snake Woman to guard the hidden gate when sealing the Demon Clan.

The Black Dragon completely obeyed the Snake Woman’s commands.

As the Snake Woman’s voice echoed, the Black River churned violently.

Soon, the Black Dragon leapt from the Black River, its form shimmering, transforming into a middle-aged man in black robes.

He stood suspended in mid-air, arms crossed behind him, staring at the Snake Woman, and spoke softly, ”Snake Princess, you’ve finally agreed to see me?”

A trace of struggle appeared in the Snake Woman’s eyes, ”Black Dragon, back in those days, to seal the Demon Clan, you willingly plunged into the Black River. I know you only wanted to be closer to me. However, I have my own destiny and cannot invest too much in emotions. So many years have passed; I just hope you’ve come to terms now.”

The man in black robes gave a bitter smile, ”Immortals have their rules, feelings are forbidden. Even if I didn’t voluntarily enter the Black River, I would have been cast into purgatory to endure millennia of torment. Such a small pain is nothing. Seeing you again today, I’m satisfied; it proves that a thousand years of guardianship wasn’t wasted.”

With that, the man in black robes even revealed a knowing smile.

The Snake Woman gently shook her head, sighing, ”Why go through all this trouble?”

”Hehe, willingly.” The man in black walked up to the Snake Woman: ”Snake Princess, why did you summon me?”

”My son...” Although she didn’t want to hurt the Black Dragon’s feelings, the Snake Woman couldn’t help but speak, saying that Ye Guichen had fallen into the Black River.

The Black Dragon was enlightened and nodded lightly, ”I see, this Black River water connects to the Chaos Sea and is infused with the flames of purgatory. Even a powerful figure in the Divinity Transformation Realm would find it difficult to survive within. No wonder that kid’s body recovers so strongly in the Black River; he is your son, after all.”

”You saw him?” The Snake Woman was overwhelmed with emotion.

The Black Dragon smiled, ”I can take you to see.”

Then boldly extended his hand, grabbing the Snake Woman’s hand.

The Snake Woman felt as if she was electrocuted and instinctively wanted to pull back, but the Black Dragon’s voice interrupted her movement: ”Don’t move; it’s easy to get lost in the Black River. Without me, you wouldn’t find him.”

The Snake Woman frowned deeply but eventually acquiesced silently.

With the Snake Woman in tow, the Black Dragon plunged back into the Black River.

Upon entering the Black River, nothing could be seen.

Yet, the Black Dragon, familiar with the surroundings, swiftly swam forward.

Before long, the Snake Woman felt a brightness before her eyes.

Upon closer inspection, the Snake Woman saw a giant turtle in the distance.

On the turtle’s back, a stele glittering with golden light.

The radiance emanated from the stele.

At this moment, Ye Guichen lay in front of the stele, on the turtle’s back, seemingly asleep with his eyes closed.

Strangely, the same glow emitted from Ye Guichen’s body as the one on the stele.

”What is this?” The Snake Woman was shocked, but Ye Guichen’s appearance seemed more like he was sleeping than dead.

”Hehe, he is contemplating the Heavenly Dao.” The Black Dragon spoke, his eyes filled with unspeakable envy: ”This stele is called the Heavenly Tablet, said to be left by superpowers when the Black River was formed. Anyone with an immortal affinity who enters the Black River will be brought here to contemplate the Heavenly Dao. Of course, how easy is it to comprehend the Heavenly Dao?”

While speaking, the Black Dragon raised his hand to point at the turtle’s feet.

There lay a pile of human bones; flesh had long disappeared, leaving only white bones.

”What is that?” The Snake Woman was entirely unfamiliar with the Black River’s situation.

The Black Dragon sighed, ”These too had immortal affinity, contemplating the Heavenly Dao but ultimately failed and turned to white bones.”

At this point, the Black Dragon somberly said, ”The principles of Heavenly Dao, ascending to immortality, how easily obtainable is it? Some lay here for a millennium, unknowingly turning to bones. Haha, the tragic part is, even after death, he doesn’t know he is dead.”

”Then, what should be done now?” The Snake Woman was immensely worried.

The Black Dragon shook his head, ”There’s no way within seven steps of the Heavenly Tablet; no one can get near. Now, only two ways can save your son.”

”What ways?”

”One, if your son comprehends a thread of the Heavenly Dao and forms an immortal root, he will awaken and escape,” the Black Dragon said. ”Secondly, if he fails to comprehend the Heavenly Dao, his body will turn to white bones, forever staying here.”

”Is there really no other way?” The Snake Woman’s expression slightly changed, evidently unable to accept this fact.

The Black Dragon glanced at the Snake Woman: ”I’ve stayed here for so long; if there were another way, would I not attempt to comprehend the Heavenly Dao? Haha, though I possess immortal power, compared to a true Immortal, it is insignificant. Otherwise, when I loved you back then, why didn’t I dare to easily express it? I’m not afraid, but I fear you would be harmed.”

”Stop talking...” The Snake Woman shook her head vigorously.

Suddenly, her face slightly changed; the originally kind face showed a trace of fierceness, and even her pure eyes carried a hint of brutality.

”Boom!”

The Snake Woman suddenly struck the Black Dragon’s chest with a palm.

The massive force sent the Black Dragon flying far away, causing the Black River to churn.

The Black Dragon looked surprised, although not heavily injured, his heart was in turmoil, staring painfully at the Snake Woman: ”Snake Princess, why?”

”Hmph, you think you’re worthy of liking me?” The Snake Woman’s face was fierce, the violent aura intensifying.

Even showing fangs in her mouth.

”No, you are not the Snake Princess I like!” The Black Dragon suddenly realized and shook his head intensely: ”You’re not!”

”I’m not? Haha, how am I not? Look, if I’m not the Snake Princess, then who am I?” The Snake Woman said, her waist suddenly swaying twice, growing a long snake tail.

The snake tail swayed, rolling up black water and attacking the Black Dragon again.

Those black water transformed into sharp blades, seemingly wanting to kill the Black Dragon.

The Black Dragon’s pupils contracted, eyes flashing with pain: ”No! You’re definitely not the Snake Princess I love, your soul is corrupted, your incarnation defiled!”

As he saw the knife-like blades of black water coming for him, the Black Dragon’s figure shook, and he opened his mouth forcefully.

The immense wave formed a shield, blocking in front of him.

The black water blades hit the shield, shattering it, yet their strength was considerably weakened.

The Black Dragon’s form flickered, transforming into a huge black dragon, charged forward, and grabbed the Snake Woman.

The Black Dragon’s power was stronger than the present Snake Woman, and this grasp could easily kill her if he exerted a bit of force.

Yet, the Black Dragon couldn’t bear it?

”What happened to you? How was your incarnation defiled? Tell me, how can I help you?” The Black Dragon roared.

The Snake Woman, seeing the Black Dragon unwilling to kill her, laughed: ”Defiled? Hmph, this is my true self! If you really love me, go and topple the Heavenly Tablet, shatter the hidden door on the Chaos Sea, and I will be yours!”
