Chapter 1059: Chapter 1059: Hubby Huo Flirts with His Charming Wife Online, Everything is Under His Control

Huo Zhi caught up with Qin Ruan, following her at a relaxed pace and lowering his voice, "Madam, the master’s birthday is coming up soon."

At his words, Qin Ruan paused mid-step and turned to ask, "Is it already the twenty-sixth of April that soon?"

A glimmer of confusion sparkled in her indifferent eyes.

Huo Zhi: "Today is April twenty-second."

Qin Ruan raised her hand to her temple, her exquisite face showing a hint of vexation.

She had been so busy recently that she almost forgot about the Third Master’s birthday.

After this year’s birthday, the Third Master would be thirty.

Thirty is the real beginning of a man’s life.

Qin Ruan asked Huo Zhi, "How does the Third Master plan to celebrate this year?"

Last year she missed the Third Master’s birthday and didn’t know how the Huo Family had celebrated; this year, as his wife, she should make some gestures.

Huo Zhi said, "Every year it’s just a simple ceremony; this year, we still don’t know."

"I see."

Qin Ruan continued on, her chocolate candy in her mouth almost completely melted.

Her hand in her pocket was holding a piece of candy, hesitating for a moment; she eventually decided not to take it out.

Seeing Qin Ruan silent, Cai Yongliang quickened his pace to catch up with her, and asked about the girls sacrificed in Peach Blossom Town, "Madam Huo, judging from the girl named Ahong’s desperate resistance to the sacrifice, and connecting it to what she said earlier, the girls chosen for the sacrifice in the past have all disappeared without exception.

Qingqi said he never touched those girls who were offered in sacrifice. So where did the previous girls go? Are they truly dead?"

Qin Ruan let out a scornful laugh, "People do not disappear or die without reason. Find out who is leading the sacrificial rituals, get the local police to investigate, and I believe there will soon be results."

Cai Yongliang’s expression turned slightly stunned, incredulous as he said, "You mean it was the local villagers causing trouble?"

He had guessed that the girls might have been taken away by other evil spirits or that Qingqi was lying, but he had never thought of the villagers.

Qin Ruan suppressed the dangerous glint in her eyes and sarcastically said, "Who else could it be if not them."

If it was indeed man-made, that could mean serious trouble.

Cai Yongliang immediately contacted the person in charge locally, ordering a thorough investigation into the matter.

Before returning to the Capital City, Qin Ruan sent someone to pick up Ling Xiaoxuan, whose injuries had been treated, from the local hospital.

The medical care here was not bad, but ultimately it couldn’t compare to the Capital City.

There were people in the Capital City who cared for Xiaoxuan, so it was inappropriate to leave her here.

...

Huo Mansion.

Huo Yunjiao, clad in a light blue pajama, lounged lazily against the headboard, flipping through all the business affairs Quin Ruan had recently handled.

The Underworld King appeared out of nowhere in the room.

He bowed with his hands clasped before him, speaking respectfully, "My lord, Qingqi has been subdued by Chu Zifeng. What’s the next step?"

Without lifting his head, Huo Yunjiao said, "Send him to Xia Yunchen, throw him into Qi Mountain."

His voice was clear and devoid of emotional fluctuations.

The Underworld King covertly observed his handsome and cold features and whispered, "Madam almost recognized Qingqi. Chu Zifeng, in a moment of quick thinking, used the Golden Whip in Madam’s hand as an excuse, telling her the memories that sporadically appear in her mind are because the Golden Whip is intentionally guiding her."

Huo Yunjiao’s grip on the papers loosened slightly, and he slowly looked up, a faint smile spilling from his dark eyes.

His sexy lips parted slightly, his deep voice filled with praise, "Chu Zifeng did a good job with this."

Huo Yunjiao appeared calm and casual, but the sharp glint that flashed unintentionally in his eyes made the Underworld King unable to look directly at him.

He bowed his head, "My lord, Madam will eventually learn the truth. Aren’t you afraid that she will make a scene when she finds out?"

The deeds of Aruan from the Fox Clan a thousand years ago were a headache not only for the Divine Clan but also something they all feared.

"Let her make a scene. It’s been too peaceful for so many years, it’s time for some excitement."

Huo Yunjiao placed the documents on the nightstand and covered his mouth with one hand, his coughs muffled, "Cough cough..."

The cough was low and hoarse, betraying weakness.

The Underworld King instinctively stepped forward, wanting to help, but Huo Yunjiao waved him away.

"Stay back! Cough cough... Don’t come and go if there’s no need. I have my own plans for Ruanruan. All you need to worry about is finding Qingqi, Taotie, Chaos, and Taowu, and get them to Xia Yunchen. Their feelings for Aruan are good; don’t let them mess up our plan."

As he spoke, he continued to cough, his body so weak that it started to reject the Evil Qi, causing his organs to react.

"Yes, my lord!"

The Underworld King knew that staying any longer would only make his master feel worse.

He took a step back, speaking swiftly, "My lord, Taotie has also awakened and should be in the south. He’s been collecting local delicacies and women, living a carefree and enjoyable life!"

His tone carried an emotional charge, clearly harboring resentment.

After having lived through the great war a thousand years ago, why should they be enjoying themselves?

Huo Yunjiao’s indifferent eyes glanced at the Underworld King, the cool detachment within those deep-set pupils reflected in his command, "Before Ruanruan contacts Taotie, send it to Qi Mountain."

The Underworld King said with difficulty, "Taotie is extremely cunning. If we really try to capture it, the commotion will be quite significant."

The scenes witnessed by the mortals of the Human Realm would undoubtedly be phenomena beyond scientific explanation.

Huo Yunjiao’s handsome face, so surreal it was nearly demonic, darkened slightly. His profound eyes were still as ice, his natural cold aura spreading as he slightly pursed his lips in displeasure, his tone brooking no argument, "Just do it; if there is any trouble, the Huo Family and the Tianxing Team will clean up after you."

"Yes—"

As soon as her words ended, the Underworld King’s figure had already vanished from the room.

Seeing his master’s face growing paler by the second, he didn’t dare stay another moment.

"Cough cough..."

Huo Yunjiao covered her lips, suppressing a cough.

"Knock knock—" Huo Qiang, standing outside the door, knocked on the room’s door.

"My lord, are you all right?"

Huo Yunjiao looked at the fresh blood in her palm with an obscure look in her eyes, and replied indifferently, "I’m fine."

With her current condition, could she even last the less than two years of life she had left?

She narrowed her eyes slightly, resting her head against the bedpost behind her, and sighed softly.

That sigh was laden with all kinds of complex emotions.

Qin Ruan returned to the Huo Family at three o’clock in the morning.

She had dozed off on the plane and her head was still spinning when her feet touched the ground; she wished she could immediately flop onto the bed and sleep for a whole day and night.

Huo Zhi saw her looking a little pale and supported her as they walked to the car that had been waiting for a long time.

Upon returning to the small building, Qin Ruan saw Huo Qiang coming down from the stairs.

The sleepiness in her eyes dispersed, and she frowned deeply with worry, "Master hasn’t slept yet?"

Huo Qiang approached Qin Ruan and bowed, "Madam, the master has already gone to bed. I’ve just received the second master’s orders to pick up the young master of the Bolin Family."

The young master of the Bolin Family—wasn’t he Brother Rong’s good friend and schoolmate, the sixth son of the Bolin Family—Nicholas Bolin?

Qin Ruan asked, "Is it Nicholas?"

Huo Qiang nodded, "Recently, there is a business cooperation to be discussed between the Bolin Family and the second master."

Qin Ruan, still looking exhausted but with less sleepiness, asked curiously, "Did Donald come too?"

Huo Qiang replied, "Madam, I am not sure."

Qin Ruan thought for a moment and waved him off, "You may go."

Huo Qiang nodded and hurried away.

Standing at the stairway, Qin Ruan did not see the exchange of glances between Huo Qiang and Huo Zhi as he left, a look that carried a depth of understanding only they shared.

Huo Zhi seemed to realize something; his complexion turned slightly pale as he looked upstairs, his eyes brimming with worry and fear.

The master had vomited blood again!

This was the third time this month.

If this continued, the master’s health was bound to collapse sooner or later.

Qin Ruan ascended the stairs with tired steps, and Huo Zhi, watching her silhouette, quickly followed her.

In a flat, earnest voice, she asked, "Madam, would you like me to prepare a hot bath for you?"

Qin Ruan yawned, speaking lazily, "No need, it’s late, and you should rest as well."

"I am not tired."

Huo Zhi followed closely behind.

Standing in front of the bedroom door, Qin Ruan placed her hand on the door.

Seeing this, Huo Zhi exclaimed in surprise, "Madam, has Miss Ling not sent you a message of safety?"

Qin Ruan looked at her strangely, her expression puzzled, "Didn’t I leave her with Ling Zeheng earlier? Why would she need to check in?"

Before returning to Huo Mansion, she had already communicated with Ling Zeheng’s side.

After discussing, they decided to send Ling Xiaoxuan to Ling Zeheng, who would personally take her to the hospital for a full-body checkup.

Huo Zhi was aware of this arrangement, and her sudden mention of it now felt quite odd to Qin Ruan.

"Has Ruanruan returned?"

Huo Yunjiao’s languid and seductive voice suddenly emanated from inside the room.

Qin Ruan, without time to think further, pushed open the door and entered.

Huo Zhi stood outside the door, bowing respectfully to Qin Ruan’s back.

In the moment she bowed, her face revealed a look of someone who had survived a great disaster.

Just now downstairs, the look Huo Qiang gave her clearly meant that the master was in a bad state and she needed to act accordingly.

If Madam discovered that the master had vomited blood, it could be either a minor or a serious issue.

Currently, aside from the second master and the master themselves, only their closest confidants were aware, nobody knew the true state of the master’s deteriorating health day by day.

Huo Zhi stood up, her eyes lowered as she gently closed the door in front of her.

Inside the bedroom.

Huo Yunjiao appeared to have just been awakened by someone, still in the posture of sitting up from bed when Qin Ruan came in.

His shirt was removed, and a thin blanket covered his waist, revealing yet concealing, his lean yet powerful waistline vaguely visible.

Under the dim light, his exposed abs looked sexy and enticing.

Looking further down would lead to an area of secret allure, where the adonis belt lies.

In such a lazy and casual pose, few could resist the third master.

Qin Ruan was unsettled and her heart raced.
