After breakfast, the three little ones went straight to play in the front yard's living room, while the four of them had some serious business to discuss in the backyard.
The future that Zhu Jiuyin could foresee was different from that of the Bai Ze clan; he could foresee a change in the Heavenly Dao.
And this visit was exactly what he had foreseen.
This matter has nothing to do with Bai Hao and Qin Nan, but it is somewhat related to them.
Zhu Jiuyin couldn't explain the changes he saw, but the only thing he was certain of was that there was a strange disturbance in the human world and the underworld.
It will happen not now, but in the future, though the exact time is unknown.
It is already difficult to even glimpse a trace of the Way of Heaven.
The reason why Zhu Jiuyin came to find Bai Hao was because he was familiar with the Di Ting divine beast of the underworld.
Of course, he was just giving a heads-up. In the past, he always took the initiative to look at the past and future, but this time he was passive. He was forced to know the future he had foreseen, so this matter must be very serious.
But he wasn't too worried. There were many immortals and gods in the human world, and the underworld was full of powerful beings. He figured that even if something happened, it would be resolved easily.
Bai Hao could not foresee what Zhu Jiuyin was talking about. If it was just a change, he could not capture it. The future he could foresee was a definite object or person, or a certain event, while a certain change, strictly speaking, was unknowable.
Just like now, even if Zhu Jiuyin actively looks to the future, he will no longer see the changes he spoke of.
That was a proactive reminder from Heaven, so all they could do was prepare for it; what was destined to happen would still happen.
Bai Hao indicated that he understood and would go to the underworld when he had free time.
Besides that, Zhu Jiuyin had another matter to discuss, so he pulled Bai Hao aside for a private chat.
This matter concerns Bai Muqiu.
Qin Nan was unaware of what was going on, while Bai Jue did not want to know.
It would be too difficult for Zhu Jiuyin to release him. This beast stays in its cave every day, guarding Zhongshan, and won't allow Bai Jue to leave.
He finally understood why Zhu Jiuyin was so insistent on keeping him company; his life was simply too boring and lonely.
As a result of his boredom, Bai Jue became his only form of entertainment.
Bai Jue's obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness had long been cured thanks to Zhu Jiuyin's tireless efforts.
After all, on the bed, the floor, the table, and even on the barren mountain tree trunks, Bai Jue had gone from initial shame to numbness and calmness.
Anyway, Zhu Jiuyin is petty and always sets up barriers. Bai Jue is so tired that he gives up struggling. Struggling only brings him pain.
Furthermore, he has now been forced to adapt to the size of two, and aside from the frequency, he has no other complaints.
It was rare for Zhu Jiuyin to leave Zhongshan and come to the mortal realm on his own initiative, so Bai Jue followed him out for some fresh air and also considered how to persuade Zhu Jiuyin to stay in the mortal realm a little longer.
Although Zhu Jiuyin is also the mountain god of Zhongshan and generally does not leave, it is impossible for Zhongshan to disappear if he leaves for a few days.
Bai Jue didn't believe it. He insisted on having a good time for a few days, staying in Zhongshan every day because he couldn't stand it anymore.
After Zhu Jiuyin finished talking with Bai Hao, Bai Hao returned with a smile, while Zhu Jiuyin walked up to Bai Jue.
"That's all, it's time to go back."
Bai Jue obediently got up, followed Zhu Jiuyin out, and said goodbye to Qin Nan and Bai Hao.
Bai Jue took Zhu Jiuyin's hand and smiled ingratiatingly.
He was no match for Zhu Jiuyin, and forceful methods were not feasible, so he had no choice but to yield.
Zhu Jiuyin turned his head to look at him, somewhat puzzled by his unusual behavior.
"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
"I want to wander around the human world a little longer, is it okay if I go back later?"
Bai Jue looked at Zhu Jiuyin with anticipation.
Zhu Jiuyin remained silent for a while, then nodded as Bai Jue waited anxiously.
"Okay, where do you want to go?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Jue's interest was instantly piqued.
There are so many beautiful sights and delicious foods in the world, there are just too many places to go.
"There's no specific place in mind. I'll take you on a tour of the human world. You've definitely never been here before, and..."
Bai Jue paused, his face slightly flushed.
Zhu Jiuyin looked at him, waiting for what he would say next.
"Moreover, as partners, we have never had a formal date, nor have we... held a wedding ceremony... We have done nothing but sleeping together."
Zhu Jiuyin was slightly stunned. He did not understand these things and had never heard of them. He had not accepted the so-called new ideas of humanity and still retained most of his animalistic nature. Otherwise, he would not have treated Bai Jue so harshly.
He had truly grown accustomed to his secluded life in Zhongshan. With Bai Jue around, he felt a distinct difference; his cold and lonely heart became vibrant.
But he thought that Bai Jue meant leaving him when he said "go out," so he never allowed it. He never imagined that Bai Jue just wanted to go out for a walk.
As long as Bai Jue doesn't abandon him, he won't refuse Bai Jue's requests.
Zhu Jiuyin held Bai Jue's hand tightly, leaned down and whispered in his ear, "As long as you no longer want to escape from me, you can do whatever you want. But I don't quite understand what you're saying, so you'll have to put in some effort. Just tell me what you want me to do, and I'll listen to you."
As Bai Jue listened to Zhu Jiuyin's soft and gentle words, his heart trembled. If Zhu Jiuyin had acted domineeringly and forcefully, Bai Jue wouldn't have felt anything, but this sudden tenderness left him unexpectedly at a loss.
Seeing Bai Jue blush and freeze in shock, Zhu Jiuyin couldn't help but laugh. So, he liked it this way?
He seemed lost in thought. Ultimately, all he wanted was for Bai Jue to stay with him, to be his partner, and to be with him forever. Other than that, he didn't force Bai Jue to do anything.
What he did was to keep Bai Jue. If Bai Jue preferred him this way, he wouldn't mind treating him the way he liked.
Bai Jue had no idea that as long as he kept his word, Zhu Jiuyin could dote on him even more.
Seeing Zhu Jiuyin's gentle smile, Bai Jue was truly overwhelmed and quickly changed the subject to end this uncomfortable atmosphere.
"Then... then come with me. I also have a place to stay in the human world, but I haven't been back for too long and need to clean it up."
"Okay, sure."
Zhu Jiuyin obediently followed Bai Jue away.
Little did he know that this very trip to the mortal realm would allow Bai Jue to manipulate his thoughts.
Bai Jue discovered that Zhu Jiuyin, apart from forbidding him from leaving and from liking anyone or anything other than him, was completely obedient to him in every other aspect.
Whether it's clothing, what to do, what to eat, what movies to watch, or what to buy, Bai Jue said that Zhu Jiuyin would only say "okay".
So after Zhu Jiuyin and Bai Jue returned to Zhongshan to pay their respects to Heaven and Earth, Bai Jue made a vow with his soul that he would never leave Zhu Jiuyin and would be his partner forever.
Thus, no matter what Bai Jue said or did, Zhu Jiuyin would let him have his way. Even if Bai Jue lowered his pride and acted coquettishly towards him, or showed affection to him, whether it was one or two people doing something, Zhu Jiuyin would listen to Bai Jue.
Although Zhu Jiuyin did not know about this future, even if he did, he wouldn't care.
After all, all he wanted was Bai Jue.
