"Okay!" To everyone's surprise, Zu'an readily agreed.
Now it was Yan Xuehen's turn to be shocked, and she said with some annoyance, "How could you be such a faithless person!"
Anger from Yan Xuehen: +66 +66 +66...
Clearly, she didn't believe that this guy would give up the entire forest for Chu Yan and her.
"How will you know if I can do it if you don't try?" Zu'an looked at her with a smile.
Yan Xuehen turned her face away. She wasn't stupid; this was clearly throwing good money after bad.
The two quickly arrived above the sea, and Yan Xuehen suddenly spoke up: "I heard that you have a good relationship with the mermaid queen of the sea tribe. Since you're here, why don't you go and meet her?"
Zuan was somewhat surprised: "I never expected that Fairy Yan, who has always been indifferent to everything, would actually pay attention to gossip?"
Yan Xuehen's heart skipped a beat: "Hmph, do we need to pay attention to the Regent's romantic escapades? Everyone in the world knows about them."
She would never admit that she had been secretly collecting all information about him over the years, and that she had rushed over from Baiyujing day and night as soon as she heard he was back.
"It's not safe for your soul to be separated from your body for too long. I must bring you back as soon as possible to avoid any further complications." Zu'an was naturally not foolish enough to take a woman to see his love rival; that would only cause trouble in his own backyard.
Yan Xuehen clearly didn't really want to see the mermaid queen, otherwise she wouldn't know how to handle herself.
If the relationship between the two is not revealed, then one can only observe their public intimacy from the perspective of a senior.
But revealing their relationship... she didn't want to get herself killed.
"I heard that the mermaid queen was the Dragon Emperor's wife before? Don't you have enough female confidantes around you? Why did you go and seduce someone else's wife?" Speaking of this, Yan Xuehen felt that his years of cultivation of the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique was about to break down.
This guy has Chu Yan by his side, Miss Pei, Miss Qiu, the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect, and me...
Why would you still go and provoke those married women?
Not only the Mermaid Queen, but also empresses and empress dowagers—she's read quite a few of those "The Love Story of the Regent" books circulating in the market.
Anger from Yan Xuehen: +110 +110 +110...
The only saving grace is that those books didn't portray me in any negative light, otherwise I would have been too ashamed to show my face.
Zuan was also somewhat embarrassed: "That was just a coincidence. When I came to the Sea Clan, I happened to encounter the Dragon Emperor being impersonated, and she was being hunted down while trying to escape..."
The following is a brief account of how he unexpectedly encountered the Mermaid Queen at the seaside tavern years ago.
After listening, Yan Xuehen's opinion of the mermaid queen changed drastically: "It does sound like you can't be blamed, but why do you always encounter such things?"
Zuan was also troubled: "I don't know either. It's like when I was with you, you were clearly here to kill me in the first place..."
Before she could finish speaking, Yan Xuehen, filled with shame and anger, bit her hard.
Yan Xuehen's face was flushed; this guy must be possessed by a peach blossom spirit.
Unbeknownst to them, the two had arrived at the entrance to the Netherworld, before the enormous abyss at the bottom of the sea.
Looking at the deep, dark abyss before her, Yan Xuehen couldn't care less about being angry with Zu An. She subconsciously moved closer to Zu An, as the abyss instilled a sense of fear in her.
Zuan pulled her close around the waist and said, "Don't leave my vicinity for more than three feet. All living things are forbidden in the Netherworld. Be careful not to be corrupted by the death energy there."
"Mmm." Yan Xuehen naturally knew what was important and didn't struggle. Instead, she nestled obediently in Zu An's arms.
Actually, she didn't resist any physical contact with Zuan, but her special status and the habits she had developed over the years made her a little embarrassed.
But if she had a legitimate reason, she could openly engage in intimate behavior with the other person.
Zu'an, carrying Yan Xuehen, jumped into the abyss. A radiant light rose around them, enveloping the two of them.
Yan Xuehen couldn't help but secretly glance at the profile of the man beside her. Thinking of the various times they had met and gotten to know each other, the icy coldness between her brows melted into a gentle tenderness.
She hugged him tightly with both arms, her face pressed against his chest.
Even if it's just for a short time and he belongs to me alone, that's fine.
Before long, the two landed on flat ground, and Zuan's gentle voice rang in their ears: "We've arrived."
Yan Xuehen looked up and around: "Is this the Netherworld...?"
The whole world was shrouded in a gray fog. She had heard Zuan mention that it was terrifying death energy, and that any living person who touched it would die.
As she was looking around, her whole body suddenly trembled, and she pulled away from Zu An's arms as if she had been electrocuted, staring at him in horror.
"What's wrong?" Zu'an was startled.
"I don't know, I just suddenly find you so scary, as if every inch of your body is warning me." Yan Xuehen didn't understand why she felt this way. Although the other party was strong, she had made him lean against the wall to get out before, so why was she so afraid of him?
This is not something that can be controlled by subjective will, but rather a natural fear.
Zuan immediately understood: "I am now the Lord of the Underworld, wielding power over this world of the dead. All the ghosts in the Underworld fear me..."
As he spoke, he cast a spell, and a beam of light rose from his body, isolating him from the terrifying pressure.
Yan Xuehen finally breathed a sigh of relief. She wiped the fine sweat from her forehead and said, "That moment was truly the scariest I've ever experienced. The feeling of powerlessness, where the other party could decide whether I lived or died, was absolutely terrifying."
Zuan smiled and whispered in her ear, "It's not like I haven't had times when I wanted you to live or die."
