Passing by the Road to the Underworld, Yan Xuehen saw those eerie red flowers by the roadside and couldn't help but stop to admire them: "Are these the legendary spider lilies? They're so beautiful."
“It is indeed beautiful.” Zuan deeply agreed. These spider lilies are the only plants in the underworld. Every time he passes by this sea of flowers on the road to the Yellow Springs, it makes his depressed mood much happier.
"Back then, Chu Yan obtained the meaning of the Pure World Ice Lotus, and Miss Pei obtained the meaning of the Other Shore Butterfly Guide. Is there any connection between her Other Shore Butterfly Guide and these Other Shore Flowers?" Yan Xuehen suddenly remembered something.
"Her 'Butterfly Attraction' does resemble these spider lilies. I'll bring her here to see them sometime." With this experience, Zu'an can bring Manman here to observe the spider lilies in the future.
"I'd like to witness Miss Pei's Butterfly Dance next time I have the chance." Because Pei Mianman and Chu Yan were best friends, and based on their previous interactions, Yan Xuehen had a strange fondness for Pei Mianman.
Especially compared to those women she had never interacted with before, Pei Mianman was clearly much better...
“I also hope that day will come.” Zuan smiled. You should know that the Other Shore Butterfly Guidance on Manman’s body is usually hidden inside her body and can only be seen on her lower back when her blood and spirit are in turmoil.
The most likely time she'd want to see him is when they're in bed together...
Yan Xuehen glanced at him with a puzzled look, feeling that his expression was somewhat strange.
As the two walked deeper into the underworld, Yan Xuehen's initial excitement at arriving in the underworld gradually gave way to nervousness at the thought of seeing Chu Yan soon.
She gently bit her lip. A master being nervous when meeting his disciple is probably unique in the world.
Before long, the two arrived at the Bridge of Helplessness. Looking at the muddy, blood-tinged waters of the River of Oblivion, Yan Xuehen's face turned slightly pale.
With her eyesight, she could naturally see the vengeful spirits with twisted expressions in the River of Oblivion. Was Chu Yan in such a terrible environment?
A seven-colored light emanated from a certain spot beneath the Bridge of Helplessness, as if it were a separate space, which the rushing River of Oblivion seemed to deliberately avoid as it flowed past.
But Yan Xuehen couldn't see anything. Zu An remembered the law of the Bridge of Helplessness: those on the bridge cannot see those below. So he waved his hand and smeared his fingers on her eyes.
Yan Xuehen opened her eyes again and finally saw a pure white lotus platform in the seven-colored light. On the lotus platform sat a beautiful young girl, meditating with her five hearts facing each other, seemingly cultivating, or perhaps asleep.
In stark contrast to the River of Oblivion, which is filled with vengeful spirits, one side is filled with evil ghosts from hell, while the other is like a fairy from the heavens.
It adds a touch of beauty to this treacherous River of Oblivion.
"Chu Yan..." Upon seeing that familiar figure, Yan Xuehen's voice trembled slightly. If it weren't for Zu An holding her back, she would have almost stepped into the River of Oblivion.
“She is currently asleep.” Zaun gently patted her hand to calm her down.
"How long will she do this?" Yan Xuehen's voice trembled. She noticed that many vengeful spirits in the River of Oblivion seemed to be baring their fangs and claws, trying to pounce on Chu Chuyan and drag her into the abyss of depravity.
However, each time they were about to get close, they were blocked by the surrounding seven-colored light. With a flash of light, those vengeful spirits were instantly reduced to ashes.
Although Chu Yan seemed to be protected by the seven-colored divine light and the white lotus, the vengeful spirits in the River of Oblivion were endless, and she was still uneasy about staying there.
"A thousand years... no, there are still nine hundred and ninety-seven years left." Although Zuan said this, he didn't show any joy. Obviously, time was still passing too slowly.
"It'll take this long!" Yan Xuehen exclaimed anxiously after hearing this. "Aren't you the Lord of the World? Aren't you also the Master of the Underworld? Don't you have any way to save her?"
Zuan shook his head slightly: "Back then, in order not to forget me, she chose to stay under the Bridge of Helplessness for a thousand years. This is the most fundamental law of the Netherworld, which I cannot change, at least not now."
Upon learning the stories of those lovesick men and women under the Bridge of Helplessness, Yan Xuehen couldn't help but sigh, "What a foolish child. If you hadn't become the Lord of the Underworld, you wouldn't even have seen her, and you wouldn't have known that she suffered for you for thousands of years."
Throughout history, only a very few couples have withstood this test. Most couples, even with vows of eternal love, ultimately cannot withstand the torment of one who suffers for countless years under the bridge, only to watch helplessly as their partner completely forgets them on the bridge. In the end, their love vanishes, turning into hatred, and they are completely assimilated by the River of Oblivion, becoming part of the army of vengeful spirits.
"Yes, she really is so foolish." Zuan felt a surge of pity when he thought of that terrible possibility.
"Speaking of which, your fate is also preordained. She sacrificed so much for you, and you just happened to become the Lord of the Underworld, so you can protect her in return. You two are truly a match made in heaven." Yan Xuehen sighed with a touch of self-pity. The greater their relationship was, the deeper her guilt became.
Chu Yan loves A Zu so deeply, so what does she mean by being caught in the middle?
“What happened between us was also an arrangement of fate, we are a match made in heaven.” Zu An noticed that Yan Xuehen was in a bad mood, so he went up from behind and hugged her.
Yan Xuehen was startled and broke free from his embrace as if she had been electrocuted: "Don't do anything rash, Chu Yan is still there!"
Even though Chu Yan is currently asleep, she still can't get over that hurdle in her heart.
“Don’t worry, she can’t see…” Zu An’s smile suddenly froze as he spoke, because he noticed that the girl’s eyelashes on the lotus throne seemed to tremble.
