In the world of cultivation, having more friends means having more paths. Yan Hei, who has lived for hundreds of thousands of years, certainly understands this principle. Moreover, Yan Hei understands the significance of the Kongming Stone better than anyone else.
"Lord Ming, it will be quick. It's mainly because Kongming has a rather awkward personality. Before doing anything, we must first ask for its consent." Wen Ziqing thought Yan Hei was annoyed by his dawdling, so he quickly explained.
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. Since the Kongming Stone has recognized you as its master, you are the current Lord of the Underworld. By the way, that... Lord Wenming, could you please come to the Underworld to take up your post as soon as possible? That way I can return to the Immortal World and be my own Lord of the Underworld." Yan Hei said with a wry smile.
Wen Mingjun? Wen Ziqing was startled.
"No, no, no, Lord Hades, don't worry, you are the Lord of the Underworld. I believe Kongming will cooperate with you happily." Although Wen Ziqing was surprised, he still emphasized that he had no intention of "seizing power."
"Don't you know, Lord Wen Ming? The Kongming Stone is a spiritual treasure of the divine world. The position of Lord Wen Ming has always been chosen by the Kongming Stone. The owner of the Kongming Stone is the monarch of the underworld. I, Yan Hei, am at best just the former Lord Wen Ming." When he said the latter sentence, there was a hint of loss in Yan Hei's voice.
Back then, Yan Hei, like Wen Ziqing, was favored by the Kongming Stone and became the Lord of the Underworld. Unfortunately, he betrayed the Kongming Stone's trust, and the Underworld became what it is today under Yan Hei's hands.
When Yan Hei thought of this, he no longer had the desire to continue chatting.
"Lord Wen Ming, I hope you can come to the underworld as soon as possible to make the handover. Yan Hei is waiting for you by the Wangchuan River." As soon as Yan Hei finished speaking, his big face like black mist gradually condensed back into the shape of a black jade spoon.
"Brother Heizi, Yan Hei, don't go! I still have something to ask you!" Zhou Yuanyuan was so anxious that she jumped up and down.
The Black Jade Key was silent. It was unclear whether Yan Hei didn't want to answer or didn't hear it.
Zhou Yuanyuan was so angry that her face turned red.
How could Yan Hei just leave after leaving behind such an important matter? He was so willful.
"Yuanyuan." Wen Ziqing tried to pull Zhou Yuanyuan's hand, but was pushed away by Zhou Yuanyuan.
"Don't pay attention to me, the future Lord of the Underworld." Zhou Yuanyuan said in a sarcastic tone.
Zhou Yuanyuan's heart was filled with anger at this moment.
She'd spent the past few years worrying that Yan Hei would come and snatch Kong Ming away. But what about Wen Ziqing? The next Lord of the Underworld? He hadn't even mentioned a single word about such a big thing. Did Wen Ziqing not trust her? Or did he want to secretly become his Lord of the Underworld?
Thinking of this, Zhou Yuanyuan's eyes turned red.
"Yuanyuan." Wen Ziqing called out mournfully and reached out to pull Zhou Yuanyuan again.
This time, Wen Ziqing was prepared. After pulling Zhou Yuanyuan's hand, he held it tightly. Zhou Yuanyuan shook it a few times but failed to shake Wen Ziqing off.
However, Zhou Yuanyuan turned her head away. When Yan Hei asked Wen Ziqing to take over earlier, Zhou Yuanyuan saw the guilty look on Wen Ziqing's face.
Zhou Yuanyuan had made up her mind. This time, if Wen Ziqing didn't give her a reason that could convince her, she would ignore him.
"Yuanyuan, don't be angry. It's my fault. I shouldn't have hidden Kongming's affairs from you." Wen Ziqing knew why Zhou Yuanyuan was angry and quickly made a self-criticism.
"Hmph! I dare not, I dare not, the future Lord of the Underworld." Zhou Yuanyuan glanced at Wen Ziqing and said in a sarcastic tone.
"Yuanyuan, can you not talk like that? If you are really angry, just hit me." Wen Ziqing grabbed Zhou Yuanyuan's hand and slapped himself hard in the face.
"What are you doing?" Zhou Yuanyuan hastily retracted her hand. Angry as she was, she hadn't considered hitting Wen Ziqing. Face was a precious commodity for men and women alike. She only slapped her enemies. She wouldn't do that to her own people.
"Yuanyuan, please listen to my explanation, okay?" Wen Ziqing pleaded. Wen Ziqing was terribly annoyed with Yan Hei. He hadn't told Yuanyuan about this because he didn't want her to worry. Unexpectedly, Yan Hei revealed the truth right in front of Zhou Yuanyuan.
"You say." Zhou Yuanyuan nodded and stopped being upset.
When something happens, the best thing to do is to solve it instead of complaining.
"Yuanyuan, I know it was wrong of me to hide this from you, but I never thought of becoming this damn Lord of the Underworld. If you don't believe me, you can ask Kong Ming. Okay?" Wen Ziqing felt a pain in his heart when he saw Zhou Yuanyuan's cold face.
His little girl should always be happy.
"Well, Brother Ziqing, tell me, how long have you known about this? Why didn't you tell me? Are you...are you afraid that I will take Kongming away to please Yan Hei, so you just hide it from me?" Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't help but shed tears when she said this.
To put it bluntly, Zhou Yuanyuan felt that Wen Ziqing didn't trust her enough. She had never hidden anything from Wen Ziqing, but Wen Ziqing had hidden things from her, so she was unhappy.
"No, Yuanyuan, I will never leave you in this life. I didn't tell you about Kong Ming because I didn't want to make you worry. Really, I swear." Wen Ziqing explained while hurriedly wiping Zhou Yuanyuan's tears.
"Hmph!" Zhou Yuanyuan had already believed what Wen Ziqing said, but still couldn't help rolling her eyes at Wen Ziqing.
Hiding everything from her just for her own good? No! This kind of thing must be stopped from now on.
"Master, Kong Ming is calling for help. Wen Ziqing wants to terminate the contract with Kong Ming." At this time, Xiaoyu reminded him.
"Brother Ziqing, what are you doing? Are you trying to drive Kong Ming away?" Zhou Yuanyuan's face changed.
"Yuanyuan, don't you dislike Kongming? I'll tell it to go far away and never bother us again." Wen Ziqing said.
"Master, Kong Ming said that if it fails to complete the mission, it will die. And... this world will collapse?" Xiaoyu repeated Kong Ming's words as she listened. At this point, Xiaoyu's voice became panicked: "Master, please stop Wen Ziqing immediately. I don't think Kong Ming is lying."
"Brother Ziqing, stop, stop, stop. Don't chase Kong Ming away. I have something to ask you." Zhou Yuanyuan was also anxious, and quickly pulled Wen Ziqing's hand and shook it.
"Kong Ming is a troublemaker." Wen Ziqing hesitated, but still listened to Zhou Yuanyuan and told the little Nascent Soul in his sea of consciousness to stop.
When Zhou Yuanyuan was angry, Wen Ziqing was doing two things at once. On the one hand, he was trying to cheer Zhou Yuanyuan up, and on the other hand, he was giving instructions to the little Yuanying in his sea of consciousness, asking the little Yuanying to kick Kong Ming out of his sea of consciousness.
In Wen Ziqing's sea of consciousness, Kong Ming was screaming all the way, trying to avoid being captured by the little Yuanying.
"Boss Xiaoyu, help!"
"Boss Xiaoyu, please quickly beg your master not to chase me away!"
“Wuwuwu... Master, Master, Kongming is wrong, please don’t chase Kongming away!”
