The next day, sunlight streamed through the window and fell onto the bed.
Jiang Yuan opened her eyes groggily, stared blankly at the unfamiliar room, and paused for a moment.
Isn't she in the underworld?
Clearly, this is not the underworld.
Jiang Yuan stood up and glanced at the gray-toned decor around her, which looked somewhat oppressive and dull.
Judging from the color scheme and decor, the owner of this room is a dull and uninteresting person.
Jiang Yuan recalled that she remembered looking at the scene in the fragments...
Then someone suddenly appeared...
Ning Yuan!
Jiang Yuan immediately realized that the person who brought her out of the underworld was Ning Yuan.
She came out of the underworld, but what about the souls of Old Madam Ning and Madam?
Jiang Yuan threw off the covers and put on her shoes.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Li Cheng standing outside with breakfast in his hands.
Upon seeing Jiang Yuan awaken, Li Cheng's eyes lit up, and his face, etched with deep wrinkles, exclaimed with delight, "Master Jiang, you're awake!"
"Butler Li, how are Madam Ning and the others? And what about Ning Yuan?" Jiang Yuan asked, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
She wanted to see Ning Yuan.
She had many questions she wanted to ask him.
Although she didn't see all the events that happened a thousand years ago, she could still deduce some of them from those images.
A thousand years ago, she had a connection with Ning Yuan, and even...
The wedding ceremony has been held!
She had been married and gone through the wedding ceremony with another man...
She had never even considered such a thing before.
"Young Master went to see the other brothers of the Dragon Peak Gang early in the morning. To say he went to see them was an understatement; rather, it was a way for him to show his face in front of everyone as the leader of the Dragon Peak Gang."
"The elders in the gang have witnessed the young master's boldness before. With their support, the brothers below should not make things too difficult for the young master. Master Jiang can rest assured."
Li Cheng, fearing that Jiang Yuan might worry about Ning Yuan, spoke up.
but--
He always felt that their young master had become colder and more decisive than before.
He didn't know whether this change was good or bad, and he was a little worried.
"As for the old lady and the others, the young master said they are fine and need to rest, but... but from last night until now, there has been no sign of the old lady and the others waking up." Li Cheng continued, then sighed again.
Jiang Yuan had woken up, but their wife was still unconscious, just like before.
Even if they are resting, the rest period is too long.
So he came here partly to see if Jiang Yuan had woken up, and partly to ask her to check on the situation if she had.
"I'll go take a look," Jiang Yuan said before Li Cheng could even ask.
Upon hearing this, Li Cheng immediately led Jiang Yuan to the room where Ning Chuxin and the others were.
Upon entering the room, Jiang Yuan saw the Yama's Pen, which was holding the souls of Old Madam Ning and the others captive.
When Yama's Pen saw its young master appear, it grasped at the two souls as if they were a lifeline and led them toward Jiang Yuan.
"Master, you're finally awake!" Yama Pen said coquettishly, snuggling closer to Jiang Yuan.
"Thank you for your hard work," Jiang Yuan said.
This journey to the underworld has truly been a hard one for Yama's pen.
Li Cheng mistakenly thought that Jiang Yuan was referring to him for staying up all night with Madam Ning and the others, so he quickly said, "It's not hard work, Master Jiang is the one who has truly worked hard."
What he did was as insignificant as sesame seeds and mung beans, not worthy of being presented in a respectable manner, and far inferior to Master Jiang.
Jiang Yuan turned to look at Li Cheng and saw that he had been keeping watch all night because of the dark circles under his eyes. "Butler Li, you've worked hard too."
Li Cheng looked puzzled.
You must have worked hard too?
Was Master Jiang's "Thank you for your hard work" just now directed at him?
Suddenly, Li Cheng felt a chill run down his spine.
Could there be something else in this room?
Yes, Master Jiang can see things they can't!
Li Cheng's expression became somewhat unnatural.
Although it is said that if you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear.
But the thought of something unseen watching him from inside the room made him feel uneasy and a little scared.
Jiang Yuan lightly pinched her fingers, and a golden light entered Ning Chuxin and Ning Yue's bodies.
The chain that bound their souls snapped with a crack and disappeared before their eyes.
A thin golden thread emerged from the two souls, connecting them tightly to the two people lying on the bed, drawing the two souls closer together.
The two souls lay flat and slowly entered the two people's bodies.
"The old lady and the madam are fine. They should wake up in half an hour, but..."
"Their souls have only just been summoned back and are somewhat unstable. It's best for them not to overwork or move around for the next month. They need to be nourished with some tonics every day to help them regain their energy."
Jiang Yuan looked at Li Cheng and gave him some instructions.
When your spirit returns, your soul will be more stable.
"Okay." Li Cheng nodded, keeping Jiang Yuan's words in mind.
At this critical juncture, it's already fortunate that the old lady and the lady were able to wake up.
As for who will be the leader and whether they can win first place, that's secondary.
Now, all we can do is let nature take its course.
Li Cheng thought to himself.
Jiang Yuan returned to her room and, as soon as she turned on her phone, saw messages from Han Zhi, Xiang Xinyang, and others.
Jiang Yuan opened WeChat and quickly read through the messages they had sent.
Without exception, they all sent her links, excitedly urging her to read the news.
Jiang Yuan clicked on the link they sent, which redirected her to Weibo.
The sign read: #Internet celebrity Wang Jiujiu was murdered by a criminal and died from excessive blood loss#
[Popping champagne to celebrate, good riddance! All bullies deserve to die!]
I thought Master Jiang was exaggerating when he talked about death, but I never expected... it really was death...
[Respect for the deceased is paramount. Although Wang Jiujiu did a lot of bad things, she's already dead. Let's be kind with our words and have some decency.]
