Chapter 779: Chapter 779: Underworld King Confronts Third Master: I Would Never Be Afraid!

Huo Yunjiao stood in front of Qin Ruan, gently touching her delicate eyebrows, saying warmly, "I’ve heard that Lin Hao, who is with you, can see puppets. Why don’t you let me see for myself too?"

"No!" Qin Ruan shook her head without any consideration, "Your health is not good. Seeing those things will harm your health."

A charming smile like a spring breeze played at the corner of Huo Yunjiao’s mouth, "I’ve lived almost thirty years and never seen spirits. Why not fulfill my wish, Ruanruan?"

Qin Ruan kept shaking her head.

Undeterred, with good temper, he negotiated: "Just this once?"

A troubled look appeared on Qin Ruan’s face.

It wasn’t that she couldn’t, it was more that the Underworld King wasn’t an ordinary puppet.

She wasn’t sure if she could make him visible to Yunjiao.

"Qin Ruan, bring him here."

The hoarse voice came across the space, clearly reaching Qin Ruan’s ears.

The pupils at the bottom of Qin Ruan’s eyes instantly contracted, and she forcefully turning her head towards the door.

It was the Underworld King!

The tone of the Underworld King’s voice carried compromise, as well as a deep sense of melancholy.

Qin Ruan instinctively felt that perhaps the Underworld King would really grant her wish this time.

Without thinking, she grasped Yunjiao’s hand and ran towards the door.

The Huo Family elder said, "Jiaojiao, put on some clothes!"

Huo Junxin said, "Slow down, third sister, his health is not good!"

Huo Hongxing said, "Daughter-in-law, take it easy!"

The anxious voices from behind made the over-excited Qin Ruan stop abruptly.

She looked at Yunjiao beside her, who was gasping slightly, and a look of apology crossed her face, guilt appearing in her eyes.

Huo Junxin came forward and draped his still-warm overcoat on Huo Yunjiao.

His gaze rested on Qin Ruan. He looked deeply at her once, and then turned and left.

Qin Ruan released Yunjiao’s hand and said shyly, "I’m sorry, I was too hasty."

Huo Yunjiao held her hand and spoke gently, "It’s okay, I’m the one dragging you down."

Just now, he seemed to have seen a cloud of black fog outside the door.

The gasping was because his vision was shaken.

As soon as Qin Ruan released his hand, the black fog at the door disappeared.

Once again holding Qin Ruan’s hand, Huo Yunjiao raised his eyes to the door again, and the figure wrapped in black fog reflected once again in his sight.

This time it was more realistic than before, with human-shaped black fog rolling fiercely.

Qin Ruan followed Yunjiao’s line of sight. The Underworld King was standing at the door.

She then remembered that when she opened the Heavenly Eye, anyone who had physical contact with her would be able to see all sorts of evil presences in the darkness.

Qin Ruan swallowed, and asked tentatively, "Yes, Yunjiao, can you see him?"

Tranquility receded in Yunjiao’s eyes, and his gaze was as sharp as an arrow, aiming at the Underworld King at the door.

Unsure of what he had seen, his thin lips tightened slightly in displeasure, and his eyes deepened a bit.

When he looked down at Qin Ruan, his expression returned to being gentle and refined, "Yes, I see him. He has a nice face."

Qin Ruan was shocked, "You can see his face?!"

In the hundred years she had spent in the Netherworld, she had never clearly seen the Underworld King’s face.

In the two times they had met after her reincarnation, it had been the same.

Now Yunjiao was telling her that he could see the Underworld King’s face. How could Qin Ruan not be shocked?

Huo Yunjiao frowned, something seemed to pass through his eyes, and the slight displeasure at seeing the Underworld King also vanished along with it.

In front of him, Qin Ruan never knew how to hide herself.

Yunjiao raised his eyebrows and laughed lightly, "Ruanruan, you can’t see his face?"

It was supposed to be a question, but it carried a degree of certainty.

"Yes." Qin Ruan nodded, "I’ve known him for a long time, but I don’t know what he looks like."

A joyful curve appeared at the corner of Yunjiao’s mouth, his voice filled with laughter, "He looks quite similar to Huo Qiang."

Huo Qiang, who usually gathered all the women in the Secret Guard Department, just happened to pass by the outside of the door with a group of people.

He walked with a serious expression, his steps firm as he walked through the Underworld King’s soul body.

The women behind him, one after another, went through the Underworld King’s boiling black fog.

Qin Ruan stared at Huo Qiang’s average features for a good while.

Huo Qiang had a face, that when thrown into a crowd, would not attract any attention.

She thought to herself, so that’s what the Underworld King looks like.

The Underworld King standing at the door, listened to the couple’s conversation, wishing he could tear off his face to show Qin Ruan.

He was nowhere near as ugly as that human being he had just seen!

Huo Qiang approached, followed by others, and gave a small bow to Qin Ruan and Huo Yunjiao: "Master, I’ve brought the people."

Huo Yunjiao nodded: "Take them to see Grandfather and Father."

"Yes."

Seeing that their master and madam were about to leave, Huo Qiang and his men stepped aside to clear the way.

Qin Ruan scanned her eyes over the more than ten women that he had brought.

Dressed plainly and with restrained demeanor, their stances alone revealed they were not to be underestimated.

Huo Yunjiao, holding Qin Ruan’s hand, walked towards the door, her gaze firmly on the Underworld King standing at the entrance.

There was something vaguely unpleasant about the red mole on his nose, the more she looked at it, the less she liked it.

As they drew closer, Qin Ruan noticed something was off about the Underworld King.

His body was constantly convulsed with Black Evil Energy and he seemed excited.

Qin Ruan suggested in lowered voice: "Let’s talk in the courtyard."

They were standing in the doorway with the eyes of the Huo Family on their backs, it wasn’t an appropriate place for conversation.

The Underworld King agreed with a sound and floated into the courtyard.

Qin Ruan and Huo Yunjiao followed him in.

The Underworld King looked at Qin Ruan, his tone unusually mild: "Qin Ruan, the power I bestowed upon you is meant for cleansing the world of evil spirits, not for repeatedly altering people’s destinies."

"Oh?" Qin Ruan lifted her eyelids: "So you’re saying I should let people die without intervening?"

The issue with Huo Yirong was a simple matter to her. Wiping out the Extinction Yin Gu parasites in his body wouldn’t cause any trouble.

The Underworld King wasn’t pleased, there was also a hint of suppressed frustration in his voice.

He forcefully suppressed his tone: "He’s not going to die!"

Qin Ruan thought to herself, of course she knew Huo Yirong wasn’t in mortal danger, otherwise she wouldn’t have stopped back when they were upstairs.

But this isn’t the matter she wanted to discuss with the Underworld King.

She got straight to the point: "Why does Third Master cough up blood every time I save someone?"

The Underworld King sneaked a glance at the calm and noble man standing beside Qin Ruan, unexpectedly getting caught in Huo Yunjiao’s prying gaze.

Under the watchful eyes that could see through a person’s heart, the Underworld King’s eyes flickered, averting his gaze.

He coughed lightly and said to Qin Ruan: "The Evil Qi you collected is insufficient."

Confusion crept across Qin Ruan’s face, as if recalling something: "The last time I helped a friend change his destiny, we returned home to find that Third Master had coughed up blood. I do not believe it was just a coincidence.

You’re telling me now that there’s not enough Evil Qi, isn’t that just a far-fetched excuse? I want to know the truth."

The Underworld King seemed to be apprehensive of something, his gaze fixed on the tightly clasped hands of Qin Ruan and Huo Yunjiao.

Huo Yunjiao’s expression was half mocking, half smiling, his eyes as deep as an ancient well, the glance he threw at the Underworld King was filled with deep meaningfulness.

Third Master found that this puppet seemed to fear him greatly.

His eyes were constantly flickering, continuously sneaking glances at him.

How could the Underworld King not know that Huo Yunjiao was observing him?

Under tremendous pressure, he ambiguously said to Qin Ruan: "Qin Ruan, don’t just alter people’s destinies. Ling Xiaoxuan’s fate has already been changed and it’s irreversible.

But Huo Yirong cannot be changed, he must continue on his original track, not a single thing can be out of place.

Remember, every time you change the destiny of others from now on, you’re consuming someone’s lifespan."

Qin Ruan’s heart sank, her temples throbbed with intermittent pain.

Her deep eyes fixed on the Underworld King: "This ’someone’, is it Third Master?"

Upon hearing that the discussion had turned towards him, Huo Yunjiao’s face remained emotionless, with a hint of a smile always hovering at the corner of his mouth.

However, the glance he cast towards the Underworld King was not particularly friendly.

The looks of warning in his eyes were dangerous and chilling.

The Underworld King’s spirit body shivered, subconsciously drifting towards Qin Ruan’s side.

Huo Yunjiao followed him closely with his gaze, staring at the Underworld King’s face and displaying a discontented light in his eyes.

The Underworld King picked up the displeasure in his tones no matter how subtly he tried to hide it.

His spirit body spontaneously drifted backwards, distancing himself from the these two intimidating figures.

The Underworld King’s actions were inexplicable.

Qin Ruan glanced at the Third Master standing beside her and then at the lively black cloud of Evil Qi surrounding the Underworld King.

As if she had discovered something, she suddenly said aloud: "Are you afraid of Third Master?"

The Underworld King immediately retorted: "He is just a human, why should I fear him!"

A meaningful smile spread across the corner of Qin Ruan’s mouth.

She noticed that the Underworld King was acting out of character today. With the Third Master present, his words were evasive and lacked the arrogance he had displayed in front of her before.
