Chapter 589: Chapter 589: Third Master is back, and meets the Underworld King on a narrow path?

The Underworld King cast a glance at Qin Ruan’s swollen belly.

His voice was gentle with a touch of comfort, "After the child is born, you won’t struggle like this."

Qin Ruan’s hand hanging by her side twitched slightly at her fingertips.

Her serene, beautiful eyes fixed on the Underworld King: "What if I die before the child is born?"

Her tone was calm, without much emotional fluctuation.

It’s as if they weren’t discussing matters of life and death.

Underworld King suddenly laughed deeply and meaningfully.

With his dark, profound eyes fixed on Qin Ruan, he said insinuatingly, "Even if you want to die now, it would be difficult."

The tone of his voice changed abruptly, he angrily said: "Qin Ruan, you’ve killed me! Just for such trivial matters, you dragged me up here, and now I have to make a trip to Fengdu to report this.

You have no idea how busy I’ve been recently, so busy I can’t even find a moment to rest. There are so many lost souls in the Netherworld that I need to worry about, I don’t have time to deal with matters in the Mortal World!"

Qin Ruan stare at the Underworld King, her eyes burning brightly.

Until he had to avert his gaze, showing a guilty conscience.

A barely visible smile tugged at the corner of Qin Ruan’s mouth.

Her voice was low, slowly saying, "I see you’ve been looking plump lately. Seems like you’ve been living comfortably."

"Who said that, didn’t you see that I have lost weight, my clothes are too large!+"

The Underworld King was so angry that he stomped his foot. He pulled at the black robe on his body and made a full circle in front of Qin Ruan to show off.

With this movement, a wave of black fog surged towards her, and Qin Ruan retreated two steps.

She couldn’t see the figure of the Underworld King in this thick black fog.

Suddenly, Qin Ruan’s expression changed dramatically.

She shouted, "Underworld King, don’t think of escaping!"

The Underworld King who was planning to flee, could feel Qin Ruan’s greatly fluctuating emotions.

He turned around and pleaded in the direction where Qin Ruan was, "Please spare me young lady, just stay in the Mortal World and gather your Evil Qi, don’t cling to me."

Qin Ruan instantly became softly spoken, "You are like my second parents, without you, there would be no me today. I’m grateful to you. I regard you as my elders. When I encounter insolvable problems, wouldn’t I have to seek your help?"

Despite Qin Ruan’s words being all flattery, the Underworld King couldn’t voice his grievances.

He doesn’t believe that Qin Ruan truly respects him.

The Underworld King clenched his teeth, not wanting to deal with Qin Ruan.

This young lady, in order to return to the Mortal World, endured the cruel tortures in Purgatory that even the evil puppets who had been there for thousands of years couldn’t stand.

At that time, he thought that Qin Ruan wouldn’t be able to hold on, but she bit the bullet and persevered.

She stood before him, her body covered in wounds, yet she gave him a bright smile.

The blood all over her body was a testament to her narrow victory over death.

The flesh stripped from her by the puppet monsters, marked her victorious rebirth.

Her smile was beautiful and terrifying. Covered in blood, yet proud, she said," You see, I succeeded."

That beautiful, stunning smile was imprinted deep into the Underworld King’s memory.

This woman was indeed ruthless, especially towards herself.

Remembering these thrilling experiences, the Underworld King’s heart softened a bit after countless years.

He now strongly suspected that Qin Ruan was taking advantage of him knowing that he had no handle on her.

Qin Ruan didn’t know what the Underworld King was thinking, nor could she see his figure. A thick black fog stood between them.

However, she could clearly perceive the strong resentment emanating from the Underworld King.

She summoned the Underworld King, not just for matters related to her lifeline.

In the quiet space, Qin Ruan’s voice of inquiry gradually rang out, "Underworld King, there is actually another matter or two I need to ask your advice about."

"Let’s hear it." The Underworld King’s words revealed a sense of helplessness.

Qin Ruan gently stroked her belly, "It’s about the father of my child in my belly. The Third Master Huo was born carrying the Purple Energy, bearing the Emperor’s phase, possessing a supreme and noble fate. Why would black Evil Qi be entangling with his Purple Energy?"

This was the second reason she summoned the Underworld King.

The Underworld King fell silent.

After a while, his solemn and majestic voice echoed through the black fog, "Qin Ruan, while I could help you come back to life, I can’t intervene in worldly affairs.

Your current body is like a bottomless pit, requiring a constant supply of Evil Qi. The two children grow by absorbing the Evil Qi you gather.

You are trying to unravel the entangled two kinds of Qi for the children’s father, which is equivalent to changing his fate and also exhausting your own abilities. Some things are beyond even me, the only one you can rely on is yourself."

Qin Ruan wasn’t surprised by the Underworld King’s answer.

She had her suspicions earlier, and now she simply got confirmation from him.

Her eyes dimmed slightly, the curve of her smile fell, "Why would the Third Master Huo, favored by the Heavenly Dao, with a supreme fate, be tortured by illness and have less than ten years of life left?"

The Underworld King’s tone lowered, carrying a clear warning, "Everyone has their own fate, Qin Ruan, I’m powerless, I can’t help you."

Qin Ruan was well aware of the rules of the Puppet Realm and the Mortal World.

She laughed and shook her head, "I never planned to ask for your help. It would be nice if you didn’t skin me, to expect you to help me is even harder than seeing the Emperor of Fengdu."

"Child, don’t say that about him!"

The Underworld King got agitated, he cut through the black fog and stood in front of Qin Ruan.

Those deep, pitch-black eyes stared directly at Qin Ruan.

Qin Ruan blinked, "I even swore by him."

Underworld King shook his head, "That’s different, don’t ever mention seeing him in the future, or his loyal subordinates might throw you into the Purgatory of Fengdu."

It was the first time Qin Ruan heard the Underworld King talk about Fengdu, "What’s the difference between Fengdu and the Eighteen Layers of Hell that you rule over?"

Underworld King spoke soberly and cautiously, "The area under his jurisdiction is the hell of Fengdu. People who are wicked beyond redemption, hugely treacherous and evil, and all sorts of puppet monsters and supernatural beings, are to be confined in the hell of Fengdu.

They will never be reincarnated in heaven. Fengdu’s hell is a place even more terrifying, brutal, and sinister than the Eighteen Layers of Hell."

Listening to his cautious and careful attitude towards Fengdu, Qin Ruan frowned, "When I was about to return to the Mortal World, why did you teach me the decree of the Ghost of Fengdu, Emperor Beitai?"

It seemed as if the Underworld King twitched his nose, the tiny red mole on his nose moved as well.

He said to Qin Ruan, "There are always tricksters and evil spirits in the mortal world beyond your ability to handle. At crucial moments, you can summon a Hell Envoy from Fengdu to protect you.

They are not like the Puppet Envoys under my command. Each envoy from Fengdu is ruthless and possesses extraordinary abilities, preventing you from dying again."

Qin Ruan’s eyes slightly lowered, hiding the profound meaning within her gaze, "Can you also summon a Hell Envoy from Fengdu?"

The Underworld King opened his mouth and said, "Of course I can...."

Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly stopped.

Qin Ruan lifted her head, with her clear eyes focused on the red mole at the tip of the Underworld King’s nose.

The Underworld King sighed regretfully, "I can, but each time I trouble them, I have to pay a visit to Fengdu."

"Do I also need to report for approval?"

"No need, I will go for you."

Qin Ruan didn’t know whether to believe it or not, she appeared somewhat ambivalent.

The Underworld King said to her earnestly, "Next time, don’t use the decree of the Emperor of Fengdu indiscriminately. Because you summoned me this time, when I go back, I need to report to Fengdu.

That’s not a good place. I haven’t been there for many years, and this time, thanks to you, I have to revisit that old place."

Qin Ruan chuckled and changed the subject, "Back to the matter at hand, I have a favor to ask of the Underworld King this time."

The Underworld King’s tone was somewhat unhappy, "What is it?" His voice contained a hint of wariness.

Qin Ruan said flatly, "I need you to fetch me two puppets."

The Underworld King’s eyes widened in surprise, "Is that all?"

Qin Ruan slightly lifted her eyelashes, "They’re two Puppets whose names are in the Hell’s register."

The Underworld King was still confused, "Why not just let the Puppet Envoy bring them up?"

Qin Ruan frowned, noticing that the Underworld King truly didn’t understand.

She sighed softly, "Once a Puppet’s name is in the Hell’s register, no one, except you, has the authority to move them."

"..." The Underworld King was unusually speechless.

After a few seconds of silence, he said in a deep voice, "What do you need those Puppets registered in Hell’s name list for? Have you forgotten to collect Evil Qi?"

Qin Ruan shook her head, "No, I have a score to settle with them."

"Unresolved issues in the mortal world?"

"They owe me a debt. A debt of excruciating torture."

The Underworld King was curious, "What deep hatred has made you so angry?"

Qin Ruan’s thin lips slightly parted, "Deception."

"You were deceived by a puppet?" The Underworld King’s tone became heavier, reflecting his disappointment.

Qin Ruan nodded and told the Underworld King about the incident where Xiaoguang and the female puppet tricked her.

The Underworld King was enraged, "Let’s go, I’ll take you to find them!"

Being tricked by a Puppet is a great humiliation for all members of the Netherworld.

Qin Ruan, a demigod, possesses abilities beyond those of the Ten Yama, and yet she was played by a Puppet.

In the eyes of the Underworld King, this matter was of grave importance.

He wanted to reach out and hold Qin Ruan’s hand, but recalled the golden light that injured him earlier, and hesitated before withdrawing his hand.

"You hold onto me, I’ll take you to find some field to do this," he said.

The Underworld King presented the corner of his robe to Qin Ruan.

Qin Ruan declined his offer, "I’m alive; going to Hell requires my soul to leave my body. The round trip wastes time, and I’m not in a position to waste time."

"Understood!"

The Underworld King angrily replied, "Wait, I’ll go right now to drag those two arrogant little Puppets up to you!"

His figure, shrouded in black mist, disappeared instantly from the room.

"Knock knock——"

The sound of knocking on the door came next.

"Madam, the third master is back."

Outside the door, the reminder from Lin Hao echoed.

"I know."

Withdrawing her Nether Power, Qin Ruan went to the table, picked up the remote, and opened all the curtains in the room.

The bright outdoor light streamed through and dispelled the gloomy energy inside the room, dissolving under the sun.

Qin Ruan walked to the door and opened it.

Lin Hao was standing outside, his posture relaxed.

Standing in the doorway, he said to Qin Ruan, "We just got word that the third master’s car has entered the compound."

"Go down and have a look."

Qin Ruan closed the door to the room and went downstairs.

The timing of the third master’s return was really inconvenient, she thought with inward concern.

She wondered if he would encounter the Underworld King when he returned.

As Qin Ruan was going downstairs, she found that Huo Chuan was also there.

He was standing in the hall, staring at the ground, lost in his own thoughts.

"How is Huo Zhi doing?"

Qin Ruan’s inquiry broke Huo Chuan’s contemplation.

He lifted his gaze towards the approaching Qin Ruan, and a nearly invisible smile passed over his face.

"She’s much better. In a few more days, she’ll be able to return to your side."

Qin Ruan smiled and replied, "No rush. Let her take care of her health first."

Huo Chuan shrugged, "That girl is anxious. She’s been idle these days and constantly demands to return to your side."

As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Qin Ruan, not missing the slightest change in her expression.
