The light that shone in had actually come from the surface.

It was safe to assume that they would see the kingdom once they got to the surface.

The two continued swimming upwards, but the pond went deeper than expected.

After swimming for a while, Alex began to panic when he started running out of air. His lungs felt like they were going to explode, and he couldn’t swim any longer.

Maximilia rushed over and held his head, placing her seductive lips onto his.

Huff—

She blew a mouthful of Chi inside, which generated oxygen for him.

Maximilia’s cultivation level allowed her to breathe directly with her lungs.

Alex instantly felt very good, and he was swimming upwards again. However, he still hadn’t reached the surface even after he’d used up his oxygen. He ran out once again.

He then grabbed hold of Maximilia and pointed towards his mouth, indicating that he wanted her to give him more air.

Five times later, Alex finally reached the surface. What met his eyes was the bright sun.
