Chapter 778: Chapter 778: Third Master is Worried that His Delicate Wife will be Bullied by the Underworld King

The words caused Qin Ruan’s breath to hitch, a shimmer of moisture appearing in her eyes.

Even at this time, he was still trying to soothe her emotions.

"Stop talking!"

Qin Ruan’s voice was sharp, her eyes, dance with shadows, showed concern and worry.

Huo Yunjiao’s face was ghostly pale, a light twitching at the corner of his eye, unveiling a hint of discomfort on his frail face.

His deep gaze bore the same look of fatigue, as his pale lips somehow twisted into a small smile: "I will listen to the madam’s words."

His voice was still soft, directed solely at Qin Ruan.

Seeing him like this, Qin Ruan’s heart ached indescribably.

Her lips pressed together, her hand that channeled the Nether Power tightly gripped his, her strength diminishing rapidly.

The grandfather, fearing for his grandson’s health, interrupted the tender moment between this couple: "First, help Jiaojiao sit on the sofa."

Qin Ruan bowed her head, suppressing the moisture welling up in her eyes. Arm in arm with Huo Junxin, they guided him to the living room.

Huo Yunjiao leaned lazily on the sofa, his gaze trained on Qin Ruan sitting beside him, a faint smile flickering at the corners of his lips.

The feeling of chest tightness, heartache, and breathlessness he had before was significantly alleviated now.

Feeling the strength flowing from Qin Ruan’s hand, Huo Yunjiao placed his hand over hers, gently advising: "Ruanruan, that’s enough."

Qin Ruan looked up, her cold gaze fixated on the Purple Energy suppressed by the dense, Black Evil Energy over him.

He was clearly supposed to be the favorite of the Heavenly Dao, a supremely privileged existence. Why is there evil Qi in his body!

Each time the Black Qi suppressed the Purple Energy, he would suffer more pain.

Qin Ruan’s eyes reddened, her voice hoarse: "Not enough, it’s not enough!"

Seeing him cough up blood inexplicably pained her.

What could she do to thoroughly resolve the Black Evil Energy entangled within him, which seemed impossible to erase completely?

If she could, she would want to endure all this for him.

The sight of Qin Ruan’s tearful expression softened Huo Yunjiao’s heart, as the pain in his chest suddenly soothed, leaving a fond feeling.

"Girl, listen up!"

His voice remained gentle, yet his tone hinted at firmness.

Qin Ruan pressed her lips together and, under his indisputable gaze, slowly lowered her head.

Her grip on his hand didn’t loosen, but the Nether Power she channeled into him slowed down anyway.

She didn’t want to obey, only wished to reduce his suffering.

Feeling Qin Ruan’s stubbornness, Huo Yunjiao’s gaze on her grew somber.

Huo Hongxing scrutinized his son’s complexion, noticing a slight rosiness returning to his pale face.

Knowing the two youngsters were in a silent standoff, he tactfully announced, "Jiaojiao’s complexion has indeed improved a lot."

Huo Yunjiao forcefully pulled his hand free of Qin Ruan’s tight grip.

Before she could grab his hand again, he embraced her in his arms in front of the family elders, softly reassuring: "Ruanruan, I really am alright now, don’t worry."

Qin Ruan’s hand slowly clenched, and then relaxed again.

She withdrew from his embrace, lifted her gaze to meet his calm and gentle eyes, and asked huskily, "Why did you cough up blood?"

Qin Ruan voiced the question that every member of the Huo Family wanted to ask.

In the past year, Huo Yunjiao’s health had been on a precipitous decline, causing them immense worry.

He used to have a handful of minor ailments in the past, but never before had he coughed up blood so frequently.

Remembering the previous discomfort, Huo Yunjiao frowned slightly, "Suddenly, there was a pain in my chest, like a tight grip that left me breathless, I felt better after vomiting up blood."

Qin Ruan’s eyes glinted slightly, "Do you know the exact time?"

Huo Yunjiao laughed softly, shaking his head: "How could I remember?"

Indeed, he wouldn’t bother to remember such things.

Qin Ruan turned her head to look at the hidden guard who had always been by Third Master’s side.

The latter stepped forward and respectfully reported, "Madam, the Master suddenly coughed up blood at one-fifteen in the early morning."

It was now twenty-five minutes past one.

The Underworld King informed her that the Third Master was coughing up blood, and she rushed downstairs to attend to his body, which had been barely ten minutes.

In other words, the moment the Third Master coughed up blood was exactly when she was upstairs rescuing Huo Yirong.

Could this mean, his coughing up blood and she were somehow connected?

Qin Ruan’s gaze passed over the Huo family members present, searching for something inside the hall.

Huo Junxin noticed her anxious appearance and the uncertainty in her eyes: "Little sister, who are you looking for?"

"An old acquaintance."

Qin Ruan’s gaze paused, a cold light flashed in her eyes.

She stood up without saying a word, brushed past everyone, and quickly headed for the door.

The Underworld King indeed came downstairs with her, and he led her outside, shrouded in black fog.

The crowd somehow had an illusion that Qin Ruan was engulfed in Evil Qi, as if she was ready to risk her life against someone.

Huo Yunjiao also noticed, she called out to Qin Ruan’s receding figure: "Ruanruan, where are you going?"

Qin Ruan paused in her steps, turned around and looked at the man whose emotions couldn’t be read from his face.

The strong demonstrate of Evil Qi surrounding her faded, the profound chill in her eyes dissipated, revealing a gentle expression on her delicate face.

The sudden transformation bewildered the crowd.

Qin Ruan gently brushed away the hair from her face, her voice soft as water: "An old friend is visiting, not an ordinary person. I’m going out to talk to him."

Huo Yunjiao asked in a cheerful tone: "Will you be in danger?"

He looked into Qin Ruan’s eyes, which were as deep as ancient pits, and seemingly bewitching.

Beneath his sickness reflected a noble and captivating air.

Qin Ruan swallowed back the lump in her throat, her voice gentle: "Third Master, there’s no need to worry. I’ve said before that I would accompany you to watch our children grow and to honor our vows till death. I won’t break my promise."

Having obtained the Demi-God body, the Great Emperor of Bei Yin from Fengdu was the only entity she could not resist, but she still had the power to fight the Underworld King.

If it was truly impossible to save Third Master, she didn’t mind pit her wits and courage against the sneaky Underworld King.

She was bent on changing the fate of Third Master, to amend his early death destiny.

It couldn’t be said that she was ungrateful, it was only because the Underworld King had given her an opportunity to challenge.

She could tell that the Underworld King was somewhat concerned about Third Master, and she too felt an unexplainable connection with Third Master.

To save the Third Master once and for all, it was necessary to pry the mouth of the Underworld King open.

Of course, she wouldn’t stoop to overt confrontation. Having spent nearly a century in the Netherworld, she was no stranger to these matters.

Qin Ruan was full of gloom, and despite her best efforts to suppress it, traces of it still leaked out.

Huo Yunjiao’s expression changed, he pressed his forehead with his hand, then slowly stood up using the couch for support.

Qin Ruan’s eyes were slightly red-tinged, adding a certain seductive quality to her.

Although this expression was beautiful, it was not the look she wore when he teased her until she cried in their chamber.

He didn’t like seeing this girl in such distress, her sadness evident in her expression.

Huo Yunjiao walked over to Qin Ruan, in a tone of resignation and gentleness, he asked: "Ruanruan, I’m asking if there’ll be any danger for you."

The ’old friend’ Qin Ruan was referring to, was not an ordinary person.

He understood as soon as he heard it.

The so-called old friend was not human.

Most likely it was a creature residing in the dark world.

With her domineering presence and solemn demeanor, it was clear to see that Qin Ruan was prepared for a hostile confrontation.

Despite her powers, her age was a factor, and Huo Yunjiao was worried that she might be bullied.
