Li Cheng stared intently, not daring to blink.
He held his breath when he saw the legs stepping out of the darkness.
leg?
Is it a person?
No, no, no, how could a person appear out of thin air?
Moreover, the crevice was pitch black, like an abyss. How could anything coming out of that place be human?
Li Cheng thought for a moment and immediately pulled the wrench.
Just as he was about to fire, Ning Yuan's figure came into view.
Li Cheng blinked, then rubbed his eyes in disbelief with his other hand. Only when he was sure that the person in front of him was his young master did Li Cheng relax and exclaim in surprise, "Young...Young Master!"
It's good that their young master is alright.
"What's wrong with Master Jiang?" Li Cheng put away his gun, strode up to Ning Yuan, his eyes falling on the unconscious Jiang Yuan, then glancing at the gap behind him.
After Ning Yuan emerged, the black slit slowly closed and disappeared little by little.
This is really weird!
"She's alright." Ning Yuan's eyes softened as he looked at Jiang Yuan, and even his voice unconsciously carried a hint of gentleness, a stark contrast to when he faced the underworld officials.
"It's good that Master Jiang is alright. Will the old lady and madam wake up?" Li Chengxin was relieved after learning that Jiang Yuan was alright, and then asked.
It's good that Master Jiang is alright. He really didn't want anything to happen to Master Jiang while saving their old lady.
However, he also hoped that the old lady would wake up.
"They're fine too," Ning Yuan said calmly, glancing at the two still unconscious women.
Jiang Yuan protected them with talismans, and since their souls hadn't stayed in the underworld for too long, the resentment in the lamp spirits hadn't completely devoured their souls, so they could be saved.
However, they can only be summoned back into their bodies once Jiang Yuan wakes up.
There was nothing he could do about it.
He was shrouded in malevolent energy; if he were to summon the soul back, I fear…
Their souls will be tainted by his malevolent aura.
If they are tainted by malevolent energy, their personalities may drastically change, becoming bloodthirsty and prone to killing.
If it were a thousand years ago, it wouldn't matter.
But now it is the 21st century. Since we live in this world, we should follow the rules of this world and not kill people.
Although he was a descendant of Ning Chi, he still shared the same surname, Ning.
In addition, they were very good to him.
He didn't want them to be tainted by his malevolent aura, and end up becoming murderers with lives on their hands because of the excessive malevolence.
If that's the case, then when they die and go to the underworld, they certainly won't have a good ending.
"The fewer people who know about tonight's events, the better, so..." Ning Yuan looked up at Li Cheng in front of him.
When Li Cheng was stared at by those eyes, he shivered as if he were in a cold cave.
Just as Li Cheng was about to speak, his eyes gradually became unfocused, and he stood in front of Ning Yuan like a puppet.
"Forget what just happened," Ning Yuan commanded like a king.
Most people are very curious, and Li Cheng always stayed by Ning Chuxin's side, being cautious and prudent throughout his life.
He had just seen the gate connecting to the underworld, and fearing he might get stuck on it, he kept thinking about it and would investigate it further.
Rather than doing that, it would be better to let him forget what he just saw.
This is better for him too.
Knowing that the underworld exists is not necessarily a good thing.
Li Cheng nodded mechanically.
The moment he nodded, his eyes returned to normal, only now they held a hint of confusion and bewilderment.
Seeing Jiang Yuan in his young master's arms, Li Cheng asked again, just as he had before, "Young master, is Master Jiang... is Master Jiang alright?"
"It's alright, the old lady and the madam are fine too, they just need to rest," Ning Yuan said in advance, as if he knew what Li Cheng was going to ask next.
"It's good that you're alright. I'll have someone prepare a room for Master Jiang right away!" Li Cheng said, knowing he couldn't neglect Jiang Yuan.
"No need," Ning Yuan said.
After saying that, he carried Jiang Yuan and walked straight past Li Cheng toward his room.
Li Cheng frowned as he watched Ning Yuan's departing figure.
Strange, didn't Master Jiang warn against entering the villa?
Why is their young master in the room? Even he's there!
Oops, what's going on?
Li Cheng realized this too late and began to wonder.
He had completely forgotten about seeing the black slit, and he had even forgotten how he ended up in the room.
He remembered that Master Jiang had instructed him not to enter the villa, so he and their young master waited outside.
"Could it be a ghost?" Li Cheng muttered, then patted his head.
However, he had no clue how he ended up in the room.
The illusory Yama pen, muttering to itself about the amount it was short of, looked at Ning Yuan and its master who had left. It originally wanted to follow, but the two souls it was holding remained motionless, guarding its body.
If they don't leave, it can't leave either.
Having finally managed to bring them out of the underworld, if it loosens its grip, who knows which evil spirit will devour these two souls, or which underworld official will take them back to the underworld.
It has to stay here.
However, it would be too much of a burden for it to stay and guard this old man.
This old man is really...
So verbose!
Ever since that person left with their master, he has been muttering to himself, and his mouth hasn't stopped since.
It was the first time it had ever discovered that a person could talk to themselves for so long.
They were either muttering about when they had entered the room or wondering why their young master was acting differently than usual.
It's so verbose, really so verbose.
The warm orange light exudes a sense of coziness.
Ning Yuan carefully placed Jiang Yuan on the bed and covered her with a blanket.
