Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest.

Chapter 167 This is my wife
No matter how evil the dragon-headed monster was, it was still confused by Yan Yu's words. After a while, it said:
"You are not afraid of death?"

"Of course I'm afraid of death," Yan Yu said righteously, "but as a descendant of the dragon, how can I be so timid because of the fear of death?"

"Hmph, you do have some backbone." The dragon-headed monster said this and reached out to pull the fence.

The door and the fence were originally tightly fitted together, and no matter how the Huang Ting sword hit and chopped them, they did not move at all. However, the dragon-headed monster used huge force to pull them open, revealing a small path for passage.

Yan Yu floated calmly in the water, his spiritual sense having scanned the dragon-headed monster from head to toe.

It is not an invisible phantom, but a real entity with flesh and blood.

Its body is extremely strong, and it should be a monster with dragon blood, but there is obviously something wrong with its brain.

"Come out," the dragon-headed monster said, opening the cell door. "Don't ask me to do it myself."

Yan Yu climbed out of the water and said with a smile:

"Thank you very much. What is your name?"

"Call me Gong Er," the dragon-headed monster asked curiously, "You're about to die, and you can still laugh?"

"It's precisely because we can't laugh when we're dead that we should laugh more now." Yan Yu handled its question skillfully and added, "Brother Gong, can you please clear up a mystery in my mind so that I can at least die with a clear conscience?"

"Hey, go ahead and ask, but I can't guarantee that I can answer." The dragon-headed monster sneered.

"Why must dragons die?" Yan Yu asked.

"You've been soaked in water and made stupid, haven't you?" The dragon-headed monster looked him up and down for a long time as if he were a fool, and said, "Humans and demons can't coexist. Do you understand?"

"Oh!" Yan Yu said as if he suddenly understood something. "So I am a dragon, and you are..."

"Of course I'm human," the dragon-headed monster said matter-of-factly. "It's natural for humans to slay demons and monsters. As a dragon-like demon, you at least deserve the dragon-slaying guillotine. If it were those insignificant little demons, they'd just be killed and thrown into the sea, to be devoured by the fish and turtles. Do you understand?"

"I see, that's brilliant!" Yan Yu clapped his hands and laughed, "As a dragon, even if I die, I must die with dignity. That's what befits my identity. Thank you so much!"

"Very good, very good." The dragon-headed monster opened its long snout, revealing a ferocious yet satisfied smile. "Although you're a monster, you also understand the truth. That's truly rare. I'll tell the general above me later to have him execute the guillotine faster so you don't suffer any more."

"Thank you very much, Brother Gong." Yan Yu followed it out of the water prison and walked forward in the aisle.

The corridor was dim and dark, and Yan Yu could only judge that he was on the ship by the slight shaking of his feet, but he didn't know which floor he was on.

While there was no exit in sight, he started the conversation and asked:
"Speaking of which, Brother Gong, since humans and demons cannot coexist, isn't there some magic to distinguish demons from monsters?"

"Why, do you want to find out the secrets of us human monks?" the dragon-headed monster asked coldly.

"I dare not." Yan Yu laughed. "What good is it for a dying dragon to ask about this? Besides, I first heard Brother Gong say that he didn't know if I was a dragon, so I asked this question."

The dragon head monster pondered for a moment and said:
"Since I've already said it, it doesn't hurt to tell you. There are spells to identify demons, but they're not necessary."

"If you admit you're a dragon, you'll be guillotined. If you don't, we won't care whether you're a dragon or not. We'll just keep you in the water dungeon. Either admit it and get out, or rot in there."

"I understand." Yan Yu suddenly realized, "Rather than being trapped in a dark water dungeon for a lifetime, it is better to accept the release and seek a quick death."

"That's right." The dragon-headed monster nodded.

"If it's a human, it's fine; a hundred years won't last more than a moment." Yan Yu continued, "But what if it's an ordinary little demon pretending to be a dragon just for the sake of pleasure?"

The dragon head monster stopped, was stunned for a moment, and said:

"When the dragon is cut down, its true form will be revealed."

"But if the Dragon Slaying Guillotine could be used at will, then what's the point of this water prison?" Yan Yu laughed. "Wouldn't it be better to just drag them all over and chop them off?"

The dragon-headed monster was stunned for even longer this time, but eventually came to his senses and said:

"Don't ask too much, we have a solution anyway."

"To be honest," Yan Yu said immediately after noticing his awkward expression, "I'm a dragon, and I have familiar members of my clan. Why don't you take me on a tour of the other cells and let me bring all my fellow members with me, so I'll have company on my journey to the underworld."

"You..." The dragon-headed monster suddenly felt strange and said after a long pause, "You really are a member of the Friendly Tribe."

"How about it?" Yan Yu said with a smile, "Let's line up and take turns to be slashed by the dragon guillotine. This will also save you, Brother Gong, the trouble." "Not bad, not bad." The dragon-headed monster thought about it and finally agreed, "Then you can follow me."

It turned around and took Yan Yu with it, heading deeper into the dungeon.

Although the water dungeon cells were densely packed, most of them were empty. The dragon-headed monster did not stop to confirm, but just kept moving forward with its eyes fixed.

After walking for about two or three minutes, they heard dense sounds of metal knocking in the distance, forming a clear echo in the corridor.

The dragon-headed monster strode over, banged the iron pick in his hand against the fence, and cursed:
"Why are you making so much noise? Be careful or I'll skin you alive... Come and see."

Just as Yan Yu was about to step forward, he heard a familiar cough coming from the prison.

When I looked closer, I saw that it was indeed Li Minghu who was trapped inside.

This Valkyrie probably checked the surroundings and didn't find any escape mechanism, so she could only use the Sky Flash Sword to knock on the fence repeatedly, trying to attract people outside.

The moment he saw the dragon-headed monster, Li Minghu had already focused all his attention and prepared for battle. However, the next second, he saw Yan Yu appear again and was immediately shocked:
"Yanyu?"

As soon as he said this, he realized he had said something wrong and quickly shut up.

But the dragon-headed monster looked suspicious and turned around and asked:

"She knows you?"

"That's right," Yan Yu replied, "She is also a dragonborn. We are of the same race."

"Oh?" the dragon-headed monster said coldly, "The Jiaolong clan uses 'Long' as their surname, and the Qinglong clan uses 'Qin' as their surname. But she insists on calling you 'Yan Yu'. What's going on?"

"To be honest, Brother Gong." Yan Yu was caught by it's weakness, but he didn't panic at all. His mind was working rapidly, and he hurriedly looked for a way to break it. To buy time, he said perfunctorily, "This is not a name, but a nickname."

"Nickname?" The dragon-headed monster was puzzled.

"She's my wife." Yan Yu finally came up with an excuse and said with a smile, "After we got married, I was too lazy in my cave, sleeping in the salty sea water all day and neglecting my cultivation. She couldn't stand me and insulted me by calling me 'pickled fish'. I'm really ashamed."

"That's right." Li Minghu also quickly echoed the lie, "This pickled fish... The thing I regret most in my life is marrying this lazy pickled fish. I haven't seen him practice for ten days or half a month, and his cultivation has not improved at all. I would have married a rice noodle roll dragon earlier!"

"Haha." The dragon-headed monster suddenly understood and smiled at Li Minghu, "Since you're about to die, I advise you to let it go. Under the dragon guillotine, being a desperate couple and going to the underworld together is a rare thing."

Li Minghu's acting skills were also superb. He first glared at Yan Yu angrily, then his expression changed several times. He couldn't help but coughed weakly several times, and finally sighed deeply, showing an expression of resignation, and said with tears in his eyes:

"Forget it, forget it. Since I'm married to him, I'll die with him."

"That's right." The dragon-headed monster actually comforted her. "A husband and wife are bound by a hundred days of grace. How could there be so much hatred? You know, even after your husband got out, he was still thinking about finding you."

He grabbed the iron gate, exhaled deeply, and pulled hard. The gate, which the Sky Flash Sword couldn't break, was pulled open with a sharp, piercing sound.

Seeing this, Li Minghu knew that this monster had extremely strong physical strength, not to mention anything else. While he had a secret idea in his mind, he started coughing again.

"Why don't you bring your wife out quickly?" The dragon-headed monster suddenly asked when he saw that she was weak and Yan Yu behind him was motionless.

Yan Yu hurriedly stepped forward and jumped into the water without hesitation. He grabbed her knees with his left arm, passed his right arm under her armpit, grabbed the iron bars of the fence with both hands, and pushed his feet hard on the side of the underwater rock wall. His upper body immediately rushed out of the water, and he took the opportunity to step on the edge of the ground and carried Li Minghu out of the water prison.

Li Minghu was originally wearing a woolen coat to keep warm, but the coat was soaked with water and hindered her movements, so she had taken it off along with the sweater underneath and thrown it into the water dungeon.

She activated the moistening spell to protect her body, so she wasn't afraid of hypothermia, but the thin T-shirt became translucent when wet.

Not to mention covering up her curves, even her underwear can be clearly seen - although her figure is not as voluptuous as Zhao Yuanzhen's, it is still quite well-proportioned, even better than Lin Daiyu's.

Yan Yu didn't admire her for long. He put her down as soon as she came out of the water and quickly took off his coat and put it on her.

Li Minghu nodded, but was in no hurry to let him go. He just silently hugged his arm, posing as if we are a young couple going to act together.

The dragon-headed monster didn't seem confused (it's normal for a couple to stay together), and turned around to continue leading Yan Yu.

It turned around, and Li Minghu pretended to be weak and dragged Yan Yu slowly, creating some distance between them and the dragon-headed monster. Immediately, he moved his lips slightly and asked in secret:
"What's the situation now?"
