The Witch Clan, Asura Clan, and Sea Clan all have many powerful individuals, and the construction of these buildings was much faster than expected. The most complex part was the design of the formations.

However, the three races have a deep foundation, and Zuan is now also skilled in formations, so various formations are gradually being perfected.

The closer the completion date got, the fewer smiles Princess Nihuang had on her face.

When they parted ways, Zuan activated a secret technique, using the Six Paths of Reincarnation to open a passage to the Asura world, and the Asura people returned to the Asura world one by one.

Princess Nihuang was the last one to arrive. Asura King at the entrance of the passage sighed, "Nihuang, it's time to go."

Princess Nihuang gave a low hum, then suddenly rushed over and hugged Zu'an tightly. She felt that his shoulders were wet with tears. Zu'an stiffened slightly, but finally raised his hand and gently hugged her back.

Pei Mianman, standing to the side, felt no jealousy whatsoever; on the contrary, she was filled with sighs, having only recently learned the story of the Mermaid Queen and the Goddess of Wushan.

What's the point of jealousy and rivalry in the face of time and space?

"Nihuang, the passage is about to close." The Asura King anxiously reminded him. The energy required to open a passage between worlds is extremely large. It has already taken too long for so many Asuras to pass through, and now Zaun is also starting to feel the strain.

"Don't forget me!" Princess Nihuang left those words, wiped her eyes, and ran off. She had only been in the passage for a short time when it closed.

Ox-Head and Horse-Face arrived beside Zuan and couldn't help but sigh, "The Asura clan takes pride in battle and admires qualities such as courage and strength. Shedding tears is seen as a symbol of weakness in the Asura clan, so the Asura clan never sheds tears, except in one situation."

"What's going on?" Zu'an couldn't help but feel worried, thinking about how Princess Nihuang had just shed tears.

"That means the women of the Asura clan will shed tears for their lovers, and only when both conditions are met—love to the extreme and pain to the extreme—will they shed tears." Ox-Head and Horse-Face were both impressed and admiring. They had only known each other for a short time, yet they had already captivated an Asura princess to such an extent.

Zuan felt a tightness in his heart and fell silent for a long, long time.

Pei Mianman walked to his side and gently took his hand.

Feeling her gentle comfort, Zuan's originally cold body felt a little warmer.

Next, Zu'an arranged various tasks in the underworld, selecting the Ten Kings of Hell and various ghost messengers and divine positions.

He couldn't stay here for long; he needed to arrange everything properly so that the entire Netherworld system could operate on its own.

At the same time, he was also curious that when he returned to the underworld in the future, these gods and ghosts seemed to have disappeared. What had happened to them, and where had they gone?

Unfortunately, the more he learns, the more he realizes his own insignificance, and how powerless he is to change many things.

However, he still did his best to find Ox-Head and Horse-Face, and subtly reminded them that if any major changes occurred in the Netherworld in the future, they should leave a message near the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

After all, in the entire Netherworld, apart from the River of Oblivion and Yin Mountain, the Six Paths of Reincarnation are probably the most able to withstand the ravages of time.

Although Ox-Head and Horse-Face were somewhat puzzled, they still patted their chests and made their promises.

Zuan wondered if he could find the information they left behind in the appropriate places after he returned.

He later found an opportunity to place the new World Law Beacon in the palace of the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons.

Looking at the mermaid queen statue he had specially sculpted based on Gong Suyin in the palace, Zuan silently bid her farewell.

Everything was on track, and he declined the entreaties of the Witch Clan and the Sea Clan, embarking on his journey back to the Demon Clan's royal court.

The two sat on a cloud, and Zuan asked the beauty beside him, "Manman, you've suddenly become quiet and reserved lately. Is something on your mind?"

"Perhaps I've seen too much and have some mixed feelings." She nestled on Zuan's shoulder, holding his arm tightly with both hands. "After seeing what happened to those girls, I wonder if one day I will also have to experience such a separation."

"Cherish every day." If it were before, Zu'an would have said he would protect her well, but now he knows very well that there are too many things in the world that are beyond our control, and even if we encounter them, we may not be able to change them.

Pei Mianman hummed in agreement, then suddenly leaned in and kissed him.

During this period, they were either in the underworld or the underwater dragon palace, under the watchful eyes of countless people. In addition, they were very busy with other matters, so the two of them had hardly any opportunity to be alone together.

Both of them were bottling up too much negative emotion and desperately needed to release it freely.

Without needing to say a word, the two were already familiar with each other and soon became inseparable.

"Won't someone else see us in broad daylight?"

"Don't worry, we're flying in the sky."

"But what if some powerful cultivators happen to pass by or look up at the sky?"

"No wonder you're so sensitive than usual, it turns out you're worried about this."

"Hey, don't tell!"

...

After a while, the clouds in the sky suddenly began to tremble violently, and Pei Mianman's slightly frightened, coquettish voice rang out again:

"This cloud won't break, will it? Be quiet."

"Don't worry, it won't break."

...

Seeing the spider lily pattern that appeared on her lower back due to the surge of blood and qi, Zu'an couldn't help but ask curiously, "By the way, you've been spacing out a lot on the road to the underworld lately, have you been observing those spider lilies?"

During this period, Zu'an was busy arranging work in the underworld, and he was extremely busy every day.

Besides serving as his secretary, Pei Mianman spent her free time sitting on the road to the underworld, gazing at the eerie spider lilies in a daze.

"You're saying this now... because I see those spider lilies and they look very familiar, and I have some inexplicable feelings about them."

"What insights did you gain?"

"I can't quite put my finger on it; it's hard to describe in words. I feel it has a strong connection to the meaning of the Other Shore Butterfly I obtained before and the Other Shore Flower of the Netherworld. I just don't know what that black butterfly is..."

Pei Mianman exclaimed in surprise, her answer abruptly interrupted. She quickly realized that this guy didn't actually want to ask a question, and she scratched at him like a little kitten in embarrassment and annoyance.

...

When they returned to the demon royal court, Xie Daoyun and the other women had been waiting anxiously, and they all breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing them.

"We received news that you were coming back, but we've been waiting for so long and you still haven't arrived. We thought you might have encountered some danger on the way."

"I knew it! With Brother Zu's high cultivation level, what danger could he possibly encounter in this world?"

"Hey, Manman, are you sick? Why is your face so red? Xiaoxi, can you take a look at her quickly?"

...

Pei Mianman was so frightened that she hurriedly explained that if Ji Xiaoxi really found out something, she would be killed on the spot.

At the crucial moment, Zuan stepped in and resolved her predicament: "This matter is settled, we should return to our own world."
