My Demon Husband Is a Snake-Chapter 1049: Did the Gym Teacher Teach You Math?

After a dose of my dark humor, Qing Li’s expression fell into a momentary blankness, before softly and helplessly speaking, "Wanwan, I now believe that Yu Longting was overwhelmed by you."

"Why... why would you say that?" I couldn’t help but feel a little anxious inside as Qing Li suddenly brought this up.

Could it be she’s digging up the past, mad at me for tainting Yu Longting’s innocence?

Qing Li pulled out the small glass hourglass she had taken out before, "Yu Longting never told you that your lips are better suited for kissing rather than delivering impassioned, venomous speeches?"

"This... well actually..." he did say that.

I instinctively touched my lips, accidentally biting my not-so-flexible tongue. Embarrassed, I quickly changed the topic, "The place below King Yu’s Tomb, time is still static there."

It seems like a mother knows her child best, so...

Yu Longting was captivated by my nonsensical persuasion...??

Now, it seems like that’s the only explanation.

"It indicates we’re still within the Abyss range, which is a good thing, right?" Qing Li, pupils deep and cold, put away the glass hourglass and pulled out a half-inch compass, "There’s more good news, the compass can point to the exact location."

"Which means this isn’t a void, that’s good." I know that if the compass loses direction, we might fall into a void like the Serpent Domain.

If we’re not within the Three Realms and Six Paths, we wouldn’t have relative magnetic poles.

Without a special way out, we can never leave.

Now that there’s supposedly a direction, it proves we’re still influenced by magnetic poles, firmly existing in the human world.

Only then do we have a chance to leave.

Qing Li’s expression is serious, "Don’t rejoice too soon, we only know the location, but not the route to leave."

"That’s easy, we belong to the Snake Tribe." I confidently proclaimed like a roadside fortune teller, "Snakes belong to water; among the four directions, water is north! North is fortunate, we’ll ward off misfortune as we head north."

"You’re... even fooling yourself now?" Qing Li listened to my self-satisfied argument, her mouth twitching.

I also knew my words were unreliable; there was no other path to take.

Just a roll of the dice, "Not really deceiving, there’s at least a one in four chance we get it right!"

"How... how did you arrive at that one-quarter probability?? Was math taught by your gym teacher?" Qing Li was utterly hopeless about my intelligence, a ’resigned to fate’ expression on her face, "Alright, let’s go north, better than standing here doing nothing."

"Okay." I lifted my spirits, borrowing Qing Li’s compass.

One hand holding the compass, the other holding her hand.

With Golden Lotus Step, we headed north.

The Abyss below was frighteningly vast; one would think we’d reach the end by walking in one direction.

Given my current pace, I thought I would quickly reach the end.

After all, when we fell from King Yu’s Tomb, the tomb wasn’t much bigger than a mountain belly.

With Golden Lotus Step, it wouldn’t take more than twenty minutes to circle its perimeter.

Who would have thought, after a day’s walk we could still continue forward.

Along the way, except for the soft, icy black mud ground, there was almost no vegetation, devoid of human presence.

When my heart was nearing despair, a glimmer of light appeared before me.

Like encountering a village at night, the village was dotted with lights, calling us from a distance.

"Grandma, I told you, when we reach the foot of the mountain, a road will appear, after the dark will come a village, we seem to have found a place where people live."
