61 Chapter 60.

I've already forgotten how many times I've been in this state.

Breathless.

I was naturally breathless. How could I not be left breathless?

Before me was a world of blue.

As far as the eye could see, the scenery was illusory and ephemeral like it was a mere figment of my imagination.

The strange aurora borealis like effect rippled about in the sky above while displayed on the surface was a picturesque bizarre blue and red hue mixed interchangeably making it feel fleeting and ethereal.

When I looked towards the world below I saw a mermaid like existence floating about freely like she were dragged about by the fish circling about her. In this single moment she looked to be without a single care in the world.

Yes, I was unable to even let out a gasp with such a mystifying scenery.

Her long black hair floated about elegantly behind her as she moved about here and there.

She occasionally looked over at me with a mysterious smile on her face.

I felt like I knew what that smile meant deep down, but it must have been my imagination.

It couldn't possibly be that, right? It couldn't be THAT.

I decided to forget about "that" as I continued to just stare blankly to run away from reality. I was determined to just soak this view into my memories and never forget it while staying in denial.

That mermaid who saw me staring blankly eventually swam over to me, when she was close enough that I could clearly make her out the first thing that caught my eye was her familiar light blue one piece which left her back exposed.

She smiled at me and grabbed my hand and pulled me down deeper into the water. Her smile told me she was clearly interested in seeing how long I would be able to last in my breathless state.

In case you haven't caught on yet, I'm drowning.

In case you haven't realized yet, it's my little wife.

In case you were confused, I'm just as confused.

Little wife, are you trying to kill me? Are you really?

My little wife, as if she knew exactly what was on my mind brought her face towards me and sealed my lips with a mischievous smile plastered on her face like she had succeeded with some sort of great prank.

With half lidded eyes she exhaled into my mouth, thankfully allowing me to replenish my air supply.

Do you wonder why I don't just go to the surface and why I've been under the water long enough to almost suffocate?

Well, that is because those ethereal flashing red and blue lights above are the flashing lights from the police cars bouncing off the surface of the water. That is the secret behind the mysterious aurora borealis in the sky above my head.

Why don't I just swim away? Well, I would love to, but my wife warped space in the area so I couldn't leave even if I wanted to.

When I asked her why with my eyes what she was doing she just chuckled and said there was a very deep reason.

When I asked again with my eyes if she wanted me to go to jail, she just smiled back beautifully like she were congratulating me for being so smart.

I know I've done some things to irk you lately my wife. I know I've been getting a bit cocky and making more moves on her lately, but is that enough to warrant sending me to prison?

While she was kissing me, I mean providing me with oxygen, I strangely heard a voice in my head.

'Husband, can you hear me now?'

What the heck? Could you always do this? Have you really been reading my mind after all?

'Fufufu, husband I can read your mind when I'm kissing you like this. I can accomplish this with you and only when we are intimate you know. My master was far more impressive and she could read the thoughts of just about anyone, without even needing to be near them or do anything.'

'Husband, if your wife told you to go to prison would you be willing to go?'

Will you be there with me?

She rolled her eyes at me and said, 'duh, it's our honeymoon.'

Then I'll go, but why do you want us to go to prison?

'Well, part of the inheritance is there after all.'

What?! Why?! What the heck?

'Well, I wanted somewhere filled with high concentrations of yang energy as a theme. Mortals and semi transcendent kiddies wouldn't be able to go to the sun, and a volcano felt to bland and overused.'

Thus a prison?!

'Naturally? Aren't you proud of your wife's sensibility?'

So the inheritance is a technique of extreme yang and that is just part of the inheritance? So is there one of extreme yin? Where did you hide that one? The ocean? Antarctica? The north pole? Winterpeg?

'That's a secret. By the way, Winterpeg?'

It's nothing, don't worry about it.

Wait, but doesn't that mean Chu Yue won't have any use for this part of the inheritance?

'Hmm. Does my husband really dare to cheat? Are you that lonely without that child you conned into becoming your secret disciple? Did you feel good as she toyed with you yesterday?'

No. I'm just concerned about her growth. Yes, just her growth.

'Of her body? Her chest? Her bottom?'

Naturally her strength.

'In bed?'

In battle.

'At night?'

During the day.

'In public? Isn't that a bit too daring husband?'

Can you stop teasing me, please?

'Husband, my purpose in life is to tease you to death.'

I knew it!

'I'm kidding. Fine, if you want her to come along I can arrange for it to happen, my little cheating husband.'

What about little Han? How is he supposed to figure out where the inheritance is? He's the one that is most suitable for the inheritance, isn't he? That stinking little playboy.

'Oh that? That's taken care of. Naturally this is on that thing called news. Little Han happens to be watching. I made it so only he can recognize us from the footage. Isn't your wife great? He'll come following like a moth drawn to a flame.'

How is that great?! A child infiltrating a prison?

Whatever, if I'm going to prison, naturally that child must drag his ass over there too. What prison is the inheritance located in anyways?

'Oh, that? Huhuhu, I bet you've never heard of it before. I bet you'll be shocked when you find out about its existence. I was a bit surprised too after all. To think, human technology was actually much more advanced than I first thought. For humans who are so weak, you guys are pretty surprising with what you can make. It took even I, a mighty realm god, a while to discover that place after all. Not bad for mortals. Public technology is actually at a much lower level than that place, I let my guard down and didn't take notice of that place right away.'

'Did you know husband? Your world's average level of technology is a full hundred years behind that prison's technology.'

'That place is an top secret facility where they experiment on convicts. Although top secret there are actually some rumours that have spread about it on the deep web.'

What?! You want your husband to go to such a dangerous place?!

'Your wife will be with you, what do you have to worry about?'

NO! I don't believe it! Every time I turn to look for you when something comes up, you pull a disappearing act. Even just moments ago when I put my trust into you thinking we would make that jump, what did you do?!

You went and stopped us mid flight and we plunged straight down like a cannonball! I won't believe you this time!

'Husband… I wanted to go for a swim. Is that so wrong?'

You chose then?! Then to go for a swim?!

'Weren't you just enjoying gawking at my wet semi transparent one piece while I sawm about with the fish?'

Eh? What? I don't know what you're talking about?

'Hmmm? Really? Then what is this little guy doing up right now at this time of day?'

She said that while she placed a hand on a certain little guy who had just woken up from his daytime nap.

Rise and shine little buddy. Actually, you can sleep for a bit longer, now is really not the time for this.

'Husband, if you listen to your little wife this time. She promises to do something good for you later in return.'

I was extremely tempted by her words while she gently stroked the head of a certain unmentionable little friend. The wet sensation that surrounded him definitely felt like a whole new world.

However, how can I be deceived again? How many times have I been tricked like this?

She didn't even say what the something good was.

When she noticed I was still hesitating she let go of the little guy she was comforting. I felt like I had just lost something, but my wife's next actions shocked me even more.

You're not fair little wife! If you do that, how can I resist you?

She wrapped her arms around me and pressed her chest against me while she slipped the little guy who was hiding from her between two pleasantly supple upper thighs as though she were putting him into a leg lock.

This isn't fair! If you put him into a leg lock… or should I say thigh lock like that, he may pass out from suffocation!

'Husband, are you sure you're not interested in the something good I have to offer?'

Why must you tease me so much in this situation?!

The blood rushed to my head, but I still managed to retain a fragment of my senses and I still firmly shook my head.

'Not bad husband, you've improved since we first met. Then I'll promise you, in the near future, if you agree, I'll let you enjoy yourself to your heart's content while in this position.'

Damn it. How can I even refuse that? But I still want more. How can I settle for just this?

'Husband, are you trying to get greedy? You know, your wife can toss you in prison whenever she likes. Your wife will only be so accommodating before she uses force. Take it or leave it.'

Haaaah. Wait! I have one condition, you said in this position, but little wife, there must be no clothes separating flesh.

'Tch. Husband caught on. Fine.'

'Well husband, are you ready to become a criminal?'

Of course! If I say I'll do it, I'll do it!

When I saw my wife's mysterious smile I had the feeling she looked like a fox who had successfully trapped it's prey, I really felt like there was something else I had forgotten about, but it was too late to reconsider. I had already said I'd do it. A man does not go back on his word.

She released her hold on her hostage, but continued to kiss me, I mean exchange oxygen with me for a while longer. Naturally everything we discussed happened while we had this passionate make out session under the sea.

Well, it's a river, but I just wanted to say under the sea because it sounded cooler. I even sang the song in my head while we had our fun.

After a while my wife got annoyed listening in and I realized that I might have killed the mood a bit. Her brows that were lowered clearly showed she was a bit peeved and she even bit my tongue.

That will teach you for listening in on my thoughts.

Who am I kidding? I'm an idiot!

Just when I got to savour my wife's lips I go and kill the mood like a dolt. I might be dumber than a doorknob.

But my wife, it's a very romantic song! Give me a break!

Was it the tone deaf voice in my head that ruined it?

Haaaaah. Should I take up singing lessons again?

The last time I did, they paid for my performance because my voice was so amazing it brought them to tears. I definitely wasn't paid to never sing again. That was definitely not what happened.

'Husband, please don't sing until you become better. By the way, I made some items available in the system shop after our date yesterday while you were sleeping last night that can help you with your disability.'

How rude! I'm not disabled. It's not a disability! I can't even take leave from a job for that! Trust me, I tried one time. They just taped my mouth shut and I was stuck working like that for the rest of my shift. They even told me if I took off the tape they would fire me.

The customers who looked at me like I was some kind of psychotic freak when they saw me really hurt you know.

'Husband, it's time to go to jail.'

Haaaah. I really don't want to.

I finally ascended to the world above the surface of the water and took in oxygen like a fish out of water.

What greeted me were helicopters with laser sights locked on all over my body and cop cars on the now lowered bridge.

Everyone had their guns pointed at the defenseless me.

A cop in a helicopter picked up a megaphone and said, "put your hands behind your head and drop your weapons! You have the right to remain silent and refuse to answer questions! Anything you say may be used against you in a court of law."

"I don't have any weapons though."

"Then just put your damn hands above your head!"

Well I tried to do what they said, but I just started sinking downwards in the water.

"Never mind, just keep swimming! I just wanted to say the line."

"Where is the woman that was with you?"

I looked at my little wife who was swimming beside me, but she just winked at me and placed one finger in front of her lips.

Again?! Really?!

"How can your little wife as a lower realm god possibly bear with the humiliation of being detained and sent to prison by mere mortals?"

"Officer, she's right here! She's right beside me!"

"Do you think I'm stupid or blind? There is no one beside you."

With a cheerful smile she simply questioned, "husband, did you just try to sell out your wife?"

"No, I wasn't… I swear, I just wanted to confirm they really can't see you."

"Bravo 1, doesn't this guy seem like he has a loose screw?"

"Alpha 1, he's definitely a lunatic. He is the idiot who tried to jump a bridge after all. Anyway he's going to be sent to that place, it's not our problem anymore. We just have to cuff him and send him on his way."

"Bravo 1, by that place... you mean… that rumoured prison?"

"Yes."

"Scary. Poor guy, he was even heartlessly abandoned by that woman."

Oi. She's right here. Don't pity the man married to a goddess.

"It's orders from the higher ups. We have no say in this. They're curious as to how he was able to stay underwater for so long without any equipment."

Damn, I should have just come up right away.

While they were discussing this the helicopter descended near the water surface and they pulled me into the helicopter and pressed me against the metallic floor of the helicopter and cuffed me from behind.

This sucks, I really didn't expect the day after my eventful first date with my wife I would be seeing the slammer.

My wife was currently squatting down beside my head in front of my eyes so I could see beneath her one piece while poking my cheek with one finger.

"Some service for your suffering husband."

"Bravo 1, this guy is really creepy with how he's looking at me right now. I feel like he wants to eat me up for some reason. Is this guy gay? What's with his stupid smile anyways? Does he enjoy being slammed against the floors or something?"

Naturally the cop named Alpha 1 who stood behind my wife with a gun pointed at me misunderstood what my gaze really meant.

"I'm not gay you jerk, I'm just admiring my wife."

"Dude, I'm a guy, I'm already taken. I'm not going to be your wife."

Having an all powerful wife is really a pain sometimes.
