"No, no, Sister Yuanyuan, I'm just thinking that you saved my life, Yan Hei, and the previous reward was too little. Sister, think about it, is there anything else you want?" Yan Hei was a down-to-earth man and didn't want Zhou Yuanyuan to suffer any loss.
The reward promised to Zhou Yuanyuan was made by Xiao Hei.
At that time, Xiao Hei didn't even know his identity as the Lord of Hell! A small ring plus three requests, no matter how you look at it, it seems that Yan Hei took advantage of Yuan Yuan. Yan Hei's life is very precious.
"It's a lot, Brother Heizi. Don't mention whether I can save you or not. I didn't save you on purpose. I just did it for the convenience of my chance. I got the jade pendant by accident and didn't spend any money at all. It's a pleasant surprise that I can help you." Zhou Yuanyuan waved her hand.
Zhou Yuanyuan wasn't a greedy person. Having been able to save her life from the hands of the Lord of Hell and even become his close friend, she was already quite satisfied. Furthermore, the Immortal Palace was filled with valuable treasures. Furthermore, Yan Hei's agreement to her three requests was far more valuable than Xiao Hei's. Zhou Yuanyuan was overjoyed that Yan Hei was willing to concede.
"The Three Lives Flower from the underworld is something that cultivators love. If Sister Yuanyuan likes it, I will ask someone to send some over after I return." Yan Hei pondered for a while and automatically increased Zhou Yuanyuan's reward.
Yan Hei recalled how, back when he was the Lord of the Underworld, many cultivators flocked to the Underworld to gather the Three Life Flowers. Even the immortal Dan Yangzi was fascinated by them. It was obvious that the Three Life Flowers must be useful to cultivators. After all, there were so many Three Life Flowers in the Underworld, blooming in vast patches. Yan Hei didn't feel bad about giving some to Zhou Yuanyuan.
"Three-life flower? I can have that." Zhou Yuanyuan remembered the "Immortification Pill" Cha Rui had mentioned before, one of the main ingredients was the Three-life flower. Anyway, it didn't cost her money, and Yan Hei was willing to give it to her, so why not take it away?
When Yan Hei saw that Zhou Yuanyuan agreed to accept his gift, he finally felt relieved.
It is really hard to repay this debt of favor. Yan He was afraid that the gift he had worked so hard to think of would be rejected by Zhou Yuanyuan, and he would have to worry about what to give again.
Before Yan Hei took a step forward, he hesitated for a moment, then formed a black jade key from his palm and handed it to Zhou Yuanyuan, saying:
"Oh, right, this is the key that controls the Immortal Mansion. After I leave, the Immortal Mansion will lose its spirit and will definitely be downgraded. With this key, Sister Yuanyuan will become the true master of the Immortal Mansion."
"Thank you, Brother Heizi." Zhou Yuanyuan's eyes lit up. She was having a headache! Although Yan Hei had said he would give the Immortal Palace to Zhou Yuanyuan, Zhou Yuanyuan didn't have the power to control it. Yan Hei's "give it" was just a lip service. After Yan Hei left, Zhou Yuanyuan's control over the Immortal Palace was definitely not as strong as Liu Jingyun, who had previously performed the "blood oath" on the Immortal Palace.
Zhou Yuanyuan had originally planned that after Yan Hei left, she would try to see if she could control the Immortal Palace. If not, Zhou Yuanyuan would rather let the Chaos Pearl devour the Immortal Palace than let Liu Jingyun get the advantage.
Yan Hei's key was formed from a portion of his inner strength that originally belonged to Xiao Hei. Although the key lacked spiritual power, it was more than enough to control the Immortal Palace.
"Brother Heizi, I have something to tell you." Seeing that Yan Hei was so capable, Zhou Yuanyuan was willing to share what she knew with him.
"Sister, please speak." Yan Hei was a little surprised.
"It's like this. I heard before... that there seems to be some problems with the passage between the underworld and the human world. But I don't know if it's true. Over the years, I haven't seen any messengers from the underworld appear in the human world to do business, so I'm saying so much. Brother Heizi, I guess... the underworld may no longer be the underworld you controlled before. You should be careful when you go back this time."
Zhou Yuanyuan's words were a little disorganized, but Yan Hei understood them.
"Don't worry, sister. My Underworld King's Order is still here, and the Underworld has not yet been replaced by someone else in charge." Yan Hei flipped his hand, revealing a dark token in his palm. On the token, there was a word "Jun" in ancient seal script, emitting a powerful pressure.
The position of Lord of the Underworld wasn't held by just anyone. Every Lord of the Underworld was chosen by Heaven and appointed. This was one of the reasons Yan Hei hadn't been on guard against Yan Xiao.
No matter how capable Yan Xiao is, or how much he wants to be the Lord of the Underworld, without the Lord of the Underworld's Order, Yan Xiao can only be Yan Xiao, and can never become the Lord of the Underworld.
"Brother Heizi, does your Underworld Lord have a term of office?" Zhou Yuanyuan found it strange. In the feudal kingdoms of China, which emperor wouldn't want to reign for eternity? It's just that their lifespans were limited, making eternity a luxury. But the Underworld Lord was different! Which immortal who could ascend to the position of Underworld Lord wasn't incredibly powerful? Immortals also possessed long lifespans, so after becoming Underworld Lord, who would still want to abdicate?
"That's for sure. If a Hades King is incompetent, Heaven will directly take back his Hades King Order and replace him with another one. I am the sixteenth Hades King in this small world, and I took office forty thousand years ago." Yan Hei said this with some complacency.
Whenever a new Hades King appears, the "Underworld King's Token" owned by the old Hades King will dissipate. If Yan Hei's token has not dissipated, it means that no one has taken over the underworld yet.
Yan Hei had been missing for over 30,000 years, meaning that during his 10,000 years as Lord of the Underworld, his actions had been recognized by Heaven. Otherwise, a new deity wouldn't have been sent to take over the Underworld for 30,000 years.
"Master, Black Charcoal Head is bragging." Chaos Pearl couldn't stand Yan Hei's arrogant look, and whispered to Zhou Yuanyuan in private.
"Huh?" Zhou Yuanyuan was a bit surprised. The Dark Lord's Order in Yan Hei's hand was no fake. Even if Zhou Yuanyuan was inexperienced, she could still sense the pressure and power contained within it.
"Master, ask Heitantou what the material of his token is? I think it is very similar to Kongming's energy fluctuation. It's not that the heaven doesn't want to replace him, but he is just unlucky." Chaos Pearl curled his lips and said.
Chaos Pearl felt very uncomfortable. The little black boy was very weak, so weak that Chaos Pearl could kill him with just a little finger.
The current Yan Hei, however, made Chaos Pearl feel very dangerous. This disparity was so great that Chaos Pearl wanted to find more evidence of Yan Hei's defeat to comfort her own wounded heart.
Perhaps after Yan Hei disappeared, Heaven sent Little Stone to this world to find a new Lord of the Underworld! It was only because of some unexpected events that Yan Hei's Lord of the Underworld Order was preserved until now! The more Chaos Pearl thought about it, the more it seemed to make sense.
"Brother Heizi, can I ask you what this token is made of? It looks like a kind of stone!" Zhou Yuanyuan asked Yan Heizi.
