Chapter 173 If You Don’t Fall in Love, You’ll Fail

Seeing Xie Fei raise his eyes and glance at her lightly, Hou Tu laughed dryly twice, patted his shoulder with her hand, and even mentioned her identity as the master's wife: "Haha, what's that look in your eyes? Sister... Ahem, the master's wife is also thinking about you and Wan'er, don't worry about such a small matter!"

Wei Jingwan smiled quietly. In fact, she could see that Xie Fei had no intention of caring about this matter. He just didn't want to pay attention to Hou Tu.

Xie Fei waved his sleeves lightly, brushing away Hou Tu's hand, and then asked thoughtfully: "Then my master is not traveling outside now, but recuperating somewhere?"

"Yes, part of your memory was sealed before, so it stayed when your master was traveling." Hou Tu didn't mind Xie Fei's attitude. She was used to it, so she naturally withdrew her hand and continued to eat snacks. While eating, she answered, "He should still be staying in some secret realm with Wan'er and her father. After all, the underworld and heaven were closely watched by the demons and monsters at that time, so it was not suitable for recuperation."

"Then why don't they come in here as well? The long river of time should be more suitable for them to recuperate than any secret realm, right?" Wei Jingwan asked puzzledly.

Xie Fei casually revealed a faint smile. He touched his wife's head and explained, "A hundred years in the River of Time is equivalent to ten years in the outside world. This is indeed more conducive to Master and others to recuperate, but the River of Time is the treasure held by the Underworld, and the successive masters of the Underworld have never easily opened it. Wan'er, do you know why?"

Wei Jingwan shook her head: "Why?"

"Any treasure that brings a lot of benefits will be accompanied by huge costs, and the River of Time is no exception. Just to open it requires the accumulation of nearly ten thousand years of the underworld, not to mention the energy required to stay in it. So for every additional person who enters, the consumption will double." Xie Fei continued to explain.

“So many!” Wei Jingwan opened her eyes wide in surprise. After a pause, she pointed outside in confusion, “Then, those ghost messengers…”

Hou Tu couldn't help but chuckle when she heard that. She stuffed the snacks in her hand into Wei Jingwan's mouth and waved her hand. All the ghost messengers and spirits disappeared. Even the underworld turned into a fairy platform suspended in mid-air, surrounded by a barrier with a flowing light blue airflow.

“This, this, this…” Wei Jingwan stood up in shock and looked around in disbelief.

"Silly girl, what's there to be surprised about? This is just an illusion." Hou Tu smiled, with a smug look on her face. "But it's not your fault that you are ignorant. This level of illusion is my sister's unique skill. Only a few people in the Five Realms have seen it. Even Xie Fei saw it for the first time. It's nothing that you are so surprised!"

Xie Fei was also a little surprised. This illusion was so powerful that even he was fooled. He had never even doubted it.

It turns out that there is no underworld, Judge Cui, or ghost messenger. From beginning to end, there are only three of them staying in this long river of time.

In this way, Xie Fei's previous doubts were finally cleared up. He had previously vaguely suspected whether the Yue Ming ice bed was real or fake. Given Master's flamboyant and ostentatious personality, it is impossible for him not to know that there are such rare things in the underworld, but he really doesn't know.

It turns out that it was not something the master found at all, it had already existed in the long river of time.

After Wei Jingwan was surprised, she returned to the table and sat down again, and asked: "Can we go out now? I miss my father and mother. I was injured because of my recklessness back then. I don't know how worried they were..."

At the end of her speech, her voice gradually became a little lonely, and her expression was filled with some guilt and regret.

"Don't worry, they're fine." Hou Tu patted Wei Jingwan's head as if to comfort her, then waved her sleeves again, restored the long river of time to its original state, and then continued, "But now is not the time to leave. So far, you have experienced eight small worlds and obtained the soul power refined by eight evil spirits. But only when nine nines can they return to one. The soul power refined by nine evil spirits can perfectly combine with Wan'er's original three souls and seven spirits to restore her soul to its best condition, so you still need to go to another small world."

Xie Fei nodded in understanding.

Wei Jingwan tugged at his sleeve anxiously: "Then let's go now, okay?"

Just as Xie Fei was about to agree, Hou Tu interrupted him, "Hey, don't be impatient, I still have something to say! Wan'er, why are you still so impetuous even after getting married? You have to change, otherwise you will teach your children bad habits in the future!"

Wei Jingwan blushed at her words, but Hou Tu slowly patted the snack crumbs in her hands, and then lightly swept her right hand, and a special jade talisman containing powerful energy appeared on the table.

"Is this... a communication talisman?" Xie Fei said after picking it up and looking at it carefully.

"Well, this is the only one your master left for you before he left." Hou Tu nodded, "He said he would give it to you after your seal is broken, and asked you to contact him as soon as possible. I think he wants to discuss with you how to deal with the demon world and the monster world, after all, you are the ruler of the underworld now."

"Okay, I got it. I'll contact her later." Xie Fei nodded solemnly.

"Okay, it's over now. I'll go and arrange a small world for you now, you impatient little thing." Hou Tu pinched Wei Jingwan's cheek and stood up to leave. Suddenly, she turned around as if she remembered something and said seriously, "Wan'er, your soul has not been fully restored, so the influence of your reincarnated body should still exist on you. Don't force it in a hurry. Let nature take its course. Remember?"

Wei Jingwan felt guilty, her face blushed and she nodded obediently: "I'll remember."

…

After Hou Tu left, Xie Fei picked up his little wife and carried her horizontally, walked a few steps to the bed, leaned over and gently placed her in the quilt.

Wei Jingwan's face was red, and she was dazed and curled up in the quilt, blinking her bright eyes at him and muttering, "I'm not sleepy..."

Her voice was soft and tender, and her dark eyelashes were too long, and when they flickered, they looked like a pair of small fans trembling gently. The pitch-black eyes are very clear, like the bright moon and starry sky.

Xie Fei's heart suddenly felt like it was burned and he couldn't stop trembling.

He reached out his hand and gently touched her slightly hot cheek, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, watching the smile gradually spread in her eyes.

Wei Jingwan blushed and her heart beat faster when he looked at her, and she swallowed carefully.

Then his slightly low voice sounded beside my ears, along with his burning breath: "Be good, close your eyes and have a good rest. I will come to sleep with you after I finish my work~"

He said the word "sleep" in a charming and ambiguous way, with a hint of cynicism. Wei Jingwan immediately understood the implicit meaning of his words, and her ears couldn't help but blush.

She shyly turned her head away, rubbing her cheek against his palm affectionately, and stretched out her arms to hold his neck and press it down, burying her head in his shoulder. After being shy for a while, she hummed softly, "Well... I want a kiss."

Can this be rejected?

Her sweet moans made Xie Fei's heart melt. He pulled her into his arms and kissed her without saying a word.

His hot tongue licked her lips little by little, then penetrated her teeth, hugged her tightly and kissed her hard inch by inch, making Wei Jingwan so confused that she gasped and hummed "Enough, enough".

The smile in Xie Fei's eyes became more intense. He let her go with a smile, and whispered to her forehead, "Squeamish girl, you are the one who wants to be kissed, and you are also the one who doesn't want to be kissed."

Wei Jingwan raised her head slightly and rubbed against his shoulder, which made Xie Fei laugh. He pushed her back to the bed, fixed the corner of the quilt, and kissed her on the forehead: "Wait for me obediently."

She uttered an almost inaudible "hmm", pulled up the quilt to wrap herself, turned over and rolled into the inner side, motionless like a silkworm pupa.

Xie Fei poked him with a helpless smile, then he got up and went to the secret room, took out the communication talisman and contacted his master.

…

Hou Tu was extremely efficient. Not long after Xie Fei got up the next day, she brought a young girl in her twenties to his cave.

"Oh, you just got up?" Hou Tu laughed teasingly, "Isn't he ruining your fun?"

Xie Fei glanced at her indifferently, ignoring her teasing, and turned to look at the person behind her.

The little girl looked a little listless and haggard. Although she was clearly a young girl in her teens, she exuded the air of someone who had gone through many hardships.

She was soaking wet, her long hair was disheveled and stuck to her face, her white dress was slightly red from being soaked in blood, and her left hand hanging by her side was dripping with bean-sized blood beads.

This was clearly suicide by cutting wrists and then dying in blood.

Hou Tu didn't mind Xie Fei's ignoring her. Instead, she asked a few questions about his master and the other person's recent situation, then left them alone and walked away gracefully.

Seeing the little girl standing there with lifeless eyes, as dull as a puppet, Xie Fei pondered for a moment and asked, "What's your name?"

Suddenly hearing Xie Fei's question, she shuddered all over and looked up at him tremblingly: "...You, don't you know me?"

Xie Fei raised his eyebrows in surprise and said affirmatively: "I don't know him."

Then I saw that the breath she was holding suddenly relaxed, as if a heavy burden had been unloaded. She felt much more relaxed, and the solemnity between her brows was lessened.

"Don't be afraid, you are no longer alive." Xie Fei calmly poured a cup of tea and said quietly.

She was stunned for a moment: "Then this is..."

"The underworld."

“The underworld?” Her eyes suddenly turned red, her voice was a little hoarse and choked, “I really did… I really did something bad, so I went to hell after death… But I really don’t know, I really don’t know! What did I do wrong, why did he treat me like that… why…”

Xie Fei narrowed his eyes slightly, and waited for her to vent before speaking again: "The underworld is not hell. Everyone will go to the underworld after death. As for whether they go to hell or not, it still needs the judge to decide."

The girl's sobbing stopped suddenly.

"The Soul Pawn Shop, as the name suggests, uses your soul as a price to get what you want." Xie Fei continued, "Since you've come here, it means that you and I are destined to be together, and it also means that you have been wronged. As long as you are unwilling and hateful, as long as you are willing to trade your soul, I will do my best to fulfill your wish. How about it?"

The girl's eyes lit up and she said eagerly, "I, I...I do!"
