My Demon Husband Is a Snake

Chapter 1111: The Old Habit of Never Growing Up

Zhang Che followed her advice obediently, asking me, "Your mom’s been doing well lately. She asked me if you’ve run into any trouble?"

"I haven’t encountered any trouble. What trouble could I possibly face?" I replied with a smile, deliberately lowering my voice, "There’s just a small question I want to ask you. Have you heard of the Nether Pond?"

"I’ve heard of it. It’s the source of the Underworld, where all the irredeemable evil of the world sinks into and is submerged with it." Although Zhang Che wasn’t as old as my grandfather, his experience in certain matters wasn’t inferior to my grandfather’s.

He has some unique insights into the Nether Pond.

I was also worried that Zhang Che would be like Lin Huan and doubt my motives for entering, so I asked cautiously, "Then do you know how to enter the Nether Pond?"

"Have you... heard of the Abyss?" Unexpectedly, Zhang Che didn’t care about the reason for my inquiry at all, and seemed to trust all my actions very much, bringing up the Abyss directly with me.

Without thinking, I said, "I’ve heard of it. Nether Spring flows in the Abyss, and a Dust World Serpent governs the final cycle of reincarnation."

"Hmm, since you know about the Abyss, why are you asking me about the Nether Pond?" Zhang Che questioned me, leaving me suddenly speechless.

I didn’t speak for a long time.

Then Zhang Che sighed, "The Nether Spring in the Abyss is the Underworld, and the Nether Pond is the source of the Underworld. Is there a need to ask about its location?"

"Are you saying that by following the Nether Spring, you can find the Nether Pond?" I rubbed my temples, unable to help but laugh at myself.

Managed to escape from the Nether Spring, only to circle back to the Abyss’s Nether Spring?

Isn’t this a different kind of fate?

Zhang Che suddenly fell silent for a while at my words, then slowly said, "If you really want to find the Nether Pond, following the Nether Spring won’t work. I’ve heard that the Nether Spring is like the Dust World Serpent, with its head meeting its tail."

"So you’re saying the Nether Pond is both the origin and the return?" When I said this, there were still some mysteries left in my heart.

My fingers scratched on the plaster of the alley wall, wearing down several spots of my fingernails, as a clue gradually formed in my mind, "If one falls into the Nether Spring, no matter how they seek the source, they’re just going in circles, unable to find the Nether Pond."

It’s truly mysterious; I thought I had found the final answer.

Going around and around, only to seem to come back to the starting point.

"That’s roughly it, but it’s not entirely hopeless. There’s a place called Moonless City deep within the Abyss. Have you heard of it?" Zhang Che asked me.

I nodded vigorously, "I’ve heard of it."

"I’ve only heard rumors that Moonless City is a city of reincarnation. There’s a path that might lead to the Nether Pond, but whether it’s true or not is unknown." Zhang Che has always given the impression of being as steady as a rock.

Even in this discussion on the topic of the Nether Pond, without asking anything else, he tells me the biggest possibility he knows.

I felt extremely moved, touching the spot where my heart beat, and softly said thank you, "Thank you, Uncle Che, I..."

I wanted to say goodbye to Zhang Che and hang up the phone, then think of a way to explore Moonless City once again.

Suddenly, a confident white beauty appeared before me, with long, silver waves of hair and cute bangs floating at her forehead, wearing a Nordic goddess-style long dress.

Her feet were clad in white sandals, but the skin on her feet was even whiter than the sandals.

The whole person resembled a fairy tale’s snow queen, rather than someone from this world.

The most crucial thing was, there was a white old man beside this beauty.

Holding the beauty’s hand, he was filled with excitement, "Her Royal Highness Princess, this Mr. Wuyue is simply amazing!! Your long-standing ailment, for which you’ve sought renowned doctors all over, has actually been cured by him."
