Young Master Is Being Jealous Again!
Chapter 588 Underworld King: Old Immortal, still so narrow-minded!

Chapter 588: Chapter 588 Underworld King: Old Immortal, still so narrow-minded!

The door was closed, and no sound could be heard from inside the room.

Seeing Qin Ruan appear, Lin Hao and the Hidden Guard finally felt relieved.

Qin Ruan shook her head to them: "You guys step aside first."

Upon hearing this, Lin Hao looked inside the room for the first time, the Five Puppets lying on the ground caught his eye.

His face turned as pale as a sheet, and he quickly stepped aside.

The Huo Family’s Hidden Guard could not see the Five Puppets; they made way according to Qin Ruan’s instructions.

Qin Ruan turned around, addressing the Five Puppets inside the room, "Try again."

Lying on the ground, Puppet Two, who was closest to the door, extended its arm, tentatively wavering in front of the door.

Its hand could penetrate the door, and the light from outside fell on its dreadfully pale backhand.

Puppet Two’s eyes emitted a horrifying glow.

Addressing its brothers, with whom it had spent several months, it excitedly said, "I will step forward first. The kingship is beckoning me. Just wait for me to become the champion again and then we can meet!"

The other Four Puppets saw Puppet Two’s exploratory behavior and realized that they truly could leave this time.

They all got up and floated out of the room like a gust of wind.

As they rushed out of Lou Hong’s front door, Qin Ruan’s warning sounded lowly.

"Do not enter the Netherworld, nor disrupt the order of the Mortal World, otherwise you will see me again soon," she warned.

"Got it, I don’t want to see you again, you’re a mean woman!"

Puppet Two’s soul penetrated the security door, and his ranting resounded clearly.

The other Four Puppets echoed him in unison and immediately fled from the scene.

The chill in the room retreated, under the gaze of several pairs of eyes, Qin Ruan slowly walked in front of Lou Hong, who looked terrified.

"You, don’t come over."

Lou Hong felt an inexplicable fear towards this woman.

He had witnessed the eerie scene just now. There was no one else in the room, but she seemed to be communicating with an unknown creature, which gave him a chilling feeling.

His nearly tearful expression made Qin Ruan feel like a bully taking advantage of the weak.

Qin Ruan stopped, her emotionless gaze landed on Lou Hong.

After brewing for a while, she asked softly, "After the car accident, during the half-a-year period of rest at home, did you feel anything strange?"

"Nothing, there’s nothing wrong, I’m fine!" Lou Hong replied rapidly.

Still backing away, he gradually made his way to the door.

Anyone could see that he was ready to make a run for it.

Qin Ruan rubbed her temples helplessly, "You don’t need to be afraid of me, I just have a few words of advice."

Lou Hong wouldn’t listen. He might be slow, but he was not stupid.

Her earlier inexplicable behavior clearly told Lou Hong that this woman was not simple and was dangerous.

Lou Hong’s hand touched the doorknob, and his eyes were filled with fear. "What kind of person are you?"

Qin Ruan coughed lightly, without blinking. "I am a Heavenly Master."

In fact, she was not really a Heavenly Master.

But faced with Lou Hong’s resistance, this was the only thing she could say that wouldn’t cause him to reject her.

"Heavenly Master?!"

Lou Hong was shocked. "You, you are a Heavenly Master. What are you doing here?"

He was entirely averse, with an inexplicable look on his face.

The corners of Qin Ruan’s eyes squinted. She decided to cut to the chase, speaking solemnly, "Lou Hong, for the past half year, you have been haunted by an evil spirit. I would advise you to make arrangements to move out as soon as possible.

The magnetic field of this house has changed. Living here for a long time could affect your health and luck. It could cause illness at the lightest, or at worst, endanger your life.

Additionally, don’t walk alone at night for the time being, and take good care of your health before focusing on your studies."

Lou Hong was a science-oriented man. He was introverted, socially awkward, clueless about romance, and an atheist.

"I’ve been living here for a long time and I’m fine. I didn’t hit any ghost. You come to my house to scare me. What’s your purpose?"

His eyes accusingly stared at Qin Ruan, looking like a victim that she was bullying.

A twitch at the corner of Qin Ruan’s lips, "Tell me, in the past six months, have there been days when you woke up and couldn’t remember what happened before you went to sleep, or even occasionally, you couldn’t remember what happened over a few days?"

"..." Lou Hong widened his eyes.

His face revealed an amazed, panicked, and scared expression that was complicated.

"How...How do you know that?"

Whenever he encountered such experiences before, Lou Hong always thought he was just tired from reading too much.

Now, someone was telling him that it was because he was haunted by an evil spirit.

How could he believe that?

Lou Hong quickly steadied his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "I don’t believe it. You must be lying to me!"

"There’s no point in lying to you. That’s all I have to say. Whether you believe it or not, take care of yourself and don’t let lonely spirits take you for snacks."

Qin Ruan planned to go find siblings Xiaoguang, or rather, settle scores with that couple.

As Lou Hong’s face turned pale, Qin Ruan said to Lin Hao and the Huo family’s Hidden Guard, "Let’s go."

Lin Hao draped the coat in his hand over Qin Ruan, and the group walked to the doorway.

Lou Hong stood at the door, blocking their way.

He looked at Qin Ruan pitifully, "You can’t just leave. For the past six months, I’ve been resting at home, and even though my memory has declined, my life has turned into a mess.

There were a few times when I thought I was ill; I even went to see a doctor, but they couldn’t find any cause. They said that I was under too much psychological pressure, and that I was having some sort of illusions."

Qin Ruan softened her voice a little, "That’s not an illusion. Just move out of here as soon as possible, find a clean house and have a good rest for a while."

Lou Hong looked doubtful, "Really?"

Qin Ruan: "I’m not lying to you, in the future, you should avoid walking at night, it’s not safe."

"I am really scared, can you guys accompany me? Until I find a place and move out. I was living quite well here, but now you tell me such terrifying things, I am too scared to be alone, wuu wuu wuu..."

Lou Hong, a grown man, was becoming more and more aggrieved as he spoke.

His nose was bright red and tear water overflowed uncontrollably from his eyes, dribbling down his cheeks and seemingly about to drop from his chin.

For the first time, Qin Ruan saw a man who could cry so appealingly without causing disgust.

She turned to one of the hidden guards beside her and ordered: "You stay here to help him, there’s nothing in the room to be afraid of."

"Yes, Madam," the hidden guard replied, lowering his head.

After glancing at the damaged door of the storage room, Qin Ruan added: "Also, get the door repaired, if it can’t be mended, compensate for it."

"Yes——"

Having given her orders, Qin Ruan left Lou Hong’s home with Lin Hao and the other hidden guards.

Today Mr. Three was returning to Huo Mansion, so Qin Ruan decided to go home first.

As for Xiaoguang and that female puppet, she could settle the account with them later.

After all, she was in the Netherworld, she wasn’t afraid that these two puppets would escape.

...

The Huo family.

Upon returning, Qin Ruan found that it was still as quiet as ever.

She asked the servants, "Where is Huo Chuan?"

The servants respectfully replied, "Replying to the Madam, he went to see Huo Zhi."

Since returning to the Huo Family, Huo Zhi had been constantly bedridden.

During this time, Huo Chuan had remained at home, taking care of him.

Lin Hao stepped up and asked, "Shall I find him for you?"

Qin Ruan tossed her coat onto the sofa in the parlor and shook her head, "No need, I’ll go upstairs. When Mr. Three returns home, let me know."

"Alright."

Upon returning to her room, Qin Ruan locked the door.

She walked to the balcony and manually closed all the curtains in the room.

The cold light in Qin Ruan’s eyes gradually became dim and obscure as the room fell into darkness.

In the quiet room, her cold and commanding voice sounded slowly.

"In accordance with the divine order of Emperor Beitai, all the gods of the Netherworld shall serve me, I command the Underworld King to return immediately!"

Qin Ruan’s voice carried a penetrating force, resonating throughout the six realms.

As the divine order of Emperor Fengdu was read, a bright golden light radiated through the dark room.

Qin Ruan was surrounded by a faint golden glow.

Veiled by the golden light, she was solemn and inviolable.

Under the golden light, Qin Ruan’s skin was as white as the purest snow lotus, and her eyes sparkled with gold.

"Qin Ruan!"

Gritting their teeth and expressing their fury, an enraged voice broke the silence in the room.

Qin Ruan’s golden eyes reacted slightly, staring straight at the dim corner.

There was a shadow moving there.

Qin Ruan raised the corner of her mouth, her starry eyes sparkled with cold radiance: "The Underworld King is indeed hard to summon, if I did not use the Emperor Fengdu’s decree, how long were you planning to make me wait to see you?"

The shadow in the corner slowly approached, and Qin Ruan’s golden light illuminated him clearly.

A man wreathed in black robe and full of dignity stood opposite Qin Ruan.

There was a mole on the tip of his nose, his features seemed to be obscured by a thin mist, making it difficult to see clearly.

The heavy Yin Qi emanating from him, surrounded by black energy and an overpowering aura of death assaulted the senses, spreading unchecked throughout the room.

Qin Ruan didn’t have a deep impression of the Underworld King’s appearance.

All she could clearly see was the red mole on his nose that was so evident; this was the Underworld King’s only distinguishing feature.

The Underworld King walked up to Qin Ruan and a powerful oppression was felt.

"Qin Ruan, I bestowed upon you the Law of Emperor Beitai to protect your life in mortal peril, not for you to summon me at will!"

From his aura and the thick black mist Yin Qi around him, Qin Ruan knew that the Underworld King was angry.

But she was also upset.

Qin Ruan looked down, her voice indifferent: "I am almost dying, isn’t that considered as being at death’s door?"

The heavy Yin Qi around the Underworld King instantly receded, the dense black mist that was thicker than any puppet dissipated slowly.

He looked down, staring at Qin Ruan’s swollen stomach, uttering in an almost inaudible voice: "What happened?"

Qin Ruan rolled up her sleeve and pointed at the red line on the inside of her arm: "This lifeline of mine is growing shorter day by day. I have absorbed not a small amount of Evil Qi, but it’s never satisfied.

I extended my life for a few years during the few months I’ve been back, but it’s now shrunk tenfold in just a few days. If this continues, I will die sooner than later, I won’t even make it to childbirth."

The Underworld King approached Qin Ruan, reaching out to touch the red line on her arm.

As soon as he stretched his hand, it was harmed by the golden light enveloping Qin Ruan.

Only to see the white fingers of the Underworld King, appearing as if burnt by fire, emerging a faint, black smoke.

The Underworld King quickly retracted his hand and growled under his breath: "That old immortal, still being so petty!"

With a light flick of his black robe, the smoke on his hand disappeared, and his burnt fingers recovered as before.

The Underworld King stared at the red line on Qin Ruan’s arm with gloomy eyes: "You are carrying two greedy creatures in your stomach, Evil Qi is not enough, find a way to absorb more."

Qin Ruan raised the corners of her mouth, a faint smile appearing on her face: "There should always be a limit, right?"

Her expression was calm, as leisurely and indifferent as ever.
