After getting dressed and moving around for a while, Wen Qi said in a hoarse voice, "I'm fine!"
Feng Ce, who was standing by, pretended not to hear and said, "Come on, take the medicine first."
Wen Qi: “…Oh.”
In the evening, Mingren and Fan Xiaoling returned to the yard together to visit Wen Qi.
Before they entered the courtyard, they saw Wen Qi and Feng Ce sitting side by side. Their heads were close to each other, and no one knew what they were talking about. The atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
Fan Xiaoling: ...We really shouldn’t take a quarrel between young couples seriously. I think she didn’t say anything excessive this morning, right?
Mingren: The things he said to complain about Feng Ce during the day shouldn’t have reached Wen Qi’s ears, right?
The two looked at each other, pretended nothing had happened, maintained perfect smiles, and stepped into the yard.
Three days later, Wen Qi recovered.
That night, the two of them lay on the big bed in the white house and voluntarily left their souls. Hand in hand, they stepped through the gate and entered the underworld, leaving only Qingyi to look after their bodies.
The biggest difference between the underworld and the world of the living is that there is no distinction between day and night in the underworld. It is always dark, there is no sunrise or sunset, and ghosts do not need to sleep. As long as their soul power is sufficient, they will not feel tired.
Feng Ce took Wen Qi to visit many places, including the Naihe Bridge on Huangquan Road, the Samsara Well on Wangxiang Terrace, and Meng Po who was making soup.
Wen Qi was surprised, "Meng Po is so young." The leather jacket and smoky makeup instantly reminded her of the punk girl Ying Siyun.
Feng Ce thought of the description of Meng Po in the Yang world and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: "Her name is just Meng Po, not an old woman. The first time she knew that people in the Yang world called her an old woman, she almost ran to the Yang world to argue with them."
Wen Qi squinted at him and said, "You know it very well."
Feng Ce quickly suppressed his smile, coughed lightly and said, "I heard it from other people, don't misunderstand."
Wen Qi snorted, "I didn't misunderstand." She walked forward first, "Take me to see what hell looks like."
Feng Ce did not move, "There is nothing to see in that place, so let's not go there."
Wen Qi turned his head and stared at him for two seconds, then nodded and said, "Okay, then go call the witnesses and we'll swear an oath."
Feng Ce breathed a sigh of relief, walked forward, took Wen Qi's hand, took a step forward and led her into the palace of King Chujiang.
King Chu Jiang, who was working, quickly put down his tablet, clasped his fists and saluted, "Greetings to the Emperor. I didn't know you were coming, and I'm sorry for not welcoming you."
"No problem." Feng Ce's voice suddenly became majestic, "I came here to ask you to witness an oath."
A trace of doubt flashed through the mind of King Chujiang, but he did not ask any more questions, only lowered his eyes and responded. As for the woman standing next to the emperor, who was held by the emperor's hand, he did not dare to look at her for even a second.
Feng Ce waved his hand, and the three of them disappeared from the hall and appeared under a giant tree.
King Chujiang was even more confused. What oath needed to be fulfilled here?
"What is this?" Wen Qi looked up and could only vaguely see the leaves hanging at the bottom. They were tender green with a layer of golden light. They did not look like ordinary things. "Is this a tree? It's too high!"
Feng Ce introduced: "This is the world tree of the underworld. It is a hundred feet high and ten feet wide. It is the foundation of the entire underworld."
Wen Qi turned to look at him, "Do you want to swear to this World Tree?"
Feng Ce smiled slightly and said in a normal tone: "I swear by the honor and responsibility of the Emperor of Fengdu that I will always love Wen Qi, always be good to Wen Qi, always put Wen Qi's feelings first, and never hurt Wen Qi."
As soon as he finished speaking, a whirlwind rose from Feng Ce's feet, sweeping up his soul power and rushing up to the crown of the World Tree along the trunk.
Wen Qi's eyes were red, and he took a step forward and threw himself into Feng Ce's arms, "Thank you."
Feng Ce hugged her back tightly, "This is what I should do."
King Chu Jiang was petrified because of the shock. What did he just hear? Is this what the heartless and desireless Emperor Fengdu could say? He even swore to the World Tree! Just to coax a woman! Wait! The Emperor just said that the woman's name was Wen Qi? The Wen Qi with the golden soul power? !
Afterwards, Feng Ce sent King Chujiang away and took Wen Qi to his own palace, which was his residence in the underworld. The overall atmosphere was cold, boring, dull and tedious.
Out of Feng Ce's consideration, Wen Qi still managed to finish reading it.
Feng Ce probably saw that she was not in high spirits, and suddenly said, "I have a treasure house, do you want to go and see it?"
Wen Qi's eyes lit up instantly, "I want to go!" The treasure house of Fengdu Emperor who has lived for who knows how long! How many treasures must there be?
The treasure house was in a room in the main hall. When the door was opened, a golden light flashed, which was so bright that Wen Qi couldn't help but squint.
The space inside the room is much larger than it looks from the outside. Various magical instruments are hung on the walls, shelves, and even the ceiling.
"Many of these are the life-blooded magical instruments of great celestial masters in the mortal world. After their souls dissipated, the magical instruments were unwilling to recognize their masters again, so I put them all into the treasury as collections. There are also some magical instruments of ghost kings, which are the spoils of war I brought back. They are just there for the time being, so if there is one you like, feel free to take it."
Wen Qi thought for a moment and said, "I have the Bagua Mace and the Metaphysics Secret Book, so I don't lack magical instruments." She discussed, "Can I pick one for each of Fan Xiaoling and Liu Ran?"
Feng Ce knew her plans for the future and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "She's not even an employee of your firm yet, and you're going to start giving her gifts? Fan Xiaoling is fine, she will definitely follow you all the time, but Liu Ran may not be the same."
Wen Qi smiled evilly, "I'll take the baby to talk to her, and if she doesn't join, I won't give it to her!"
Feng Ce laughed and held out his hand in a gesture of invitation, "What's mine is yours, you're welcome."
Wen Qi walked around for a while and chose a long-range attack crossbow for Fan Xiaoling. The arrows were made of soul power. As long as the aim was accurate, the damage to ghosts and monsters would be enormous.
The one picked for Liu Ran was a treasure bag. It looked like a big-bellied sachet, only the size of a palm, but in fact, the space inside was very large, a hundred square meters. The most important thing was that there was air inside and it was warm like spring, which was especially suitable for raising insects! "Was the previous owner of this treasure bag also a Miao people?" Wen Qi asked, otherwise it would be too perfect.
Feng Ce nodded and said, "It has been in my treasure house for thousands of years. It is time to return it to them."
Carrying the two treasures, Feng Ce brought Wen Qi back to the world of the living.
This time the souls were away for a long time. After returning to their bodies, the two did not wake up immediately, but chose to continue sleeping and wait to wake up naturally.
Seeing that their breathing had stabilized, Qingyi flashed back into the bracelet and continued practicing with the ghost baby.
The next morning, when the sky just got light, Wen Qi and Feng Ce opened their eyes at the same time, turned to look at each other, and after staring at each other in silence for a few seconds, they both laughed.
After a while, Wen Qi asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Feng Ce said, "I feel relieved at last. We..." He raised his hand and stroked Wen Qi's face, "We can be a real couple now."
Wen Qi blushed and glared at him, "It's so early in the morning, you are not allowed to drive!"
Feng Ce chuckled and asked, "Then what are you laughing at?"
"I'm just happy." Wen Qi said, "Our relationship is finally secure, and I'm even happier that you're willing to give me this security."
Feng Ce stood up and pressed towards Wen Qi. When their lips touched, he whispered, "I'm willing to do anything for you."
Wen Qi's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously raised his hand to cover his lips.
Feng Ce's kiss landed on the back of her hand, and he couldn't help but stand up slightly and look at her in confusion.
Wen Qi kept covering his mouth and said in a muffled voice: "It's broad daylight, no! And don't you have to catch the bus? You'd better get up quickly!"
Feng Ce said helplessly: "It's just a good morning kiss, what do you think I want to do?"
Wen Qi blinked and said "Oh", then raised the hand that was covering her mouth and hooked it around Feng Ce's neck, pulling hard, giving him a kiss and then quickly pulling away, covering her mouth again and saying, "Alright."
Feng Ce was so angry that he laughed. He raised his hand to hold her down and kissed her.
After a long while, the two finally left the big bed with great difficulty. (End of this chapter)
