Chapter 782: Chapter 782: The warning Underworld King left for Qin Ruan before he left

As Qin Ruan spoke of those abilities, a tremor played at the corner of Huo Yunjiao’s eyes.

The Demi-God Body, Heavenly Eye, Hellfire, and Nether Power -- each word spelled formidable strength.

He had truly never imagined that the seemingly sweet and delicate Qin Ruan could actually be so unpredictable.

Huo Yunjiao steadied his breath, his voice slowly re-surging, "Did the Underworld King ask you to pay any price?"

His voice was not loud, but it had a penetrating force.

Qin Ruan shook her head, "No."

However, this did not reassure him, and he slightly furrowed his brows, "Stay away from him in the future. The Underworld King is cunning and profound."

"Mm." Qin Ruan obediently nodded in agreement.

Secretly, she knew that she would inevitably have to interact with the Underworld King in the future.

She firmly believed that she had been reborn, but he inherently resisted the idea of reincarnation, finding it taboo.

Neither of them could persuade each other, so they tried to avoid the topic as much as possible.

Qin Ruan had once considered sharing her past life’s experiences with him, predicting various ways he might react.

The only thing she didn’t predict was that he wouldn’t believe it at all.

Huo Yunjiao suddenly asked, "Ruanruan, have you told anyone else about being reborn?"

Qin Ruan momentarily shocked, quickly replied, "No, only you know."

Even her father, her eldest brother, and her second brother were kept in the dark about this matter.

Only he knew about her reincarnation. She felt as if all her secrets were exposed today.

She had expected some heart-stopping process, or challenging experience.

Unfortunately, he was not an ordinary person. He was calm and composed, and with just a few words, he almost shattered her.

Huo Yunjiao showed a satisfied expression, rubbed Qin Ruan’s head, and praised, "Good girl."

After saying this, he leaned down and kissed her forehead.

Qin Ruan’s mind was filled with the images of Lei Ning and Ling Xiaoxuan, "However, two people know about my reincarnation, and I didn’t tell them voluntarily."

"Who?" The depths of Huo Yunjiao’s eyes flashed a sharp glint.

"Ling Xiaoxuan and Lei Ning..."

Qin Ruan explained that Lei Ning had also reincarnated, and about his entanglement with Ling Xiaoxuan and Ling Zeheng.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yunjiao remained silent for a long time.

His face showed deep thought, and his gaze on Qin Ruan was unfathomably deep.

After a while, he slowly started speaking, "The Lei Family over the past few years gradually became the last of the third rank Aristocratic Families. When you sent out your birthday invitations, I originally overlooked the Lei Family."

"Second Brother suggested that the Lei Family had fallen due to the Nangong Family’s oppression these past few years. Now that the Nangong Family is gone, we could give them a chance instead."

Qin Ruan’s eyes narrowed slightly, "Lei Ning has resigned and returned to his family. He mentioned to me recently that in the future his family can serve me. I haven’t responded yet."

Lei Ning’s decision to return to the Lei Family was not solely for revenge, but more so to bring glory to their family to prevent the past humiliation.

Now, hearing what he said, it was clear that he wanted to give the Lei Family an opportunity.

"Accept." Huo Yunjiao decided for Qin Ruan: "Even though the Lei Family is third rank Aristocratic Family, they aspire to rise. Let’s allow them to become the sharp blade in your hand."

"Many matters that you will not be able to handle directly in the future, can be delegated to them. Having one or two such families under your command will facilitate your actions."

The smile at the corner of Qin Ruan’s mouth faded slightly, her gaze flickered, "They aspire to rise, but I may not be able to help them."

This statement earned her a profound glance from him, "My girl, you’re wrong. Just by associating with you, the Lei Family already has one foot in the threshold of the second rank Aristocratic Families."

Qin Ruan immediately understood, "Because I am Madam Huo?"

Huo Yunjiao affectionately scratched her nose, softly praising, "Clever."

As they were talking, a vehicle sped towards them.

It was the person whom Gongsun Yibo had sent to retrieve the Yin Moth.

The two let their smiles fade, their faces regaining their solemn expressions.

"We’ll discuss other matters later, let’s first see how Second Brother is doing."

Thinking of the precarious health of their cousin, Huo Yunjiao, with Qin Ruan on his arm, returned to the house.

"Qin Ruan, I will not answer any of your questions. As soon as you break free from the shackles of life, everything you want to know will naturally be explained. Be careful!"

The familiar voice heard whispered in her ear caused Qin Ruan to stop.

Her sweet features showed a trace of coldness, a clear dissatisfaction in her eyes.

"Were you eavesdropping on my conversation with Third Brother?!"

Qin Ruan sent these words in the same secret manner towards the direction the Underworld King was located.

The Underworld King denied it, very shamelessly, "I was listening openly."

He had returned to his usual smug attitude.

Qin Ruan was displeased, but quickly caught onto the deeper meaning of the Underworld King’s words. Suddenly, she asked, "Are you agreeing with Third Brother that there is no such thing as reincarnation in this world?"

The Underworld King remained silent for a long time.

"Ruanruan?"

When the person next to him remained standing still, Huo Yunjiao softly called her.

Qin Ruan looked up, concealing the emotions in her eyes. Her mind raced, finding an excuse immediately, "I am a bit worried about Brother Rong. I can’t take action on this matter."

"As long as Second Brother’s life is not in danger."

Huo Yunjiao, fully aware of Qin Ruan’s difficulty, held her as they continued onward.

It wasn’t until they crossed the threshold of the door that the Underworld King’s voice once again sounded beside Qin Ruan.

"There are many evil spirits in Shengshi Academy, and your life span is now less than half a year. If you can spare the time, go take a look, and perhaps you’ll find a rich harvest."

This was the Underworld King’s last message to Qin Ruan before he left.

The first thing she thought of was the forbidden area in Shengshi Academy.

...

The hall in Huo Yirong’s small building was full of tense atmosphere, with members of the Huo Family, headed by Huo’s father, sitting on the sofa.

Kneeling in front of them were more than ten Hidden Guards, all of whom were women, including Huo Zhi and Song Qing.

Gongsun Yibo was pacing among these people, shaking his head and sighing from time to time.

In his hand was an intricately carved openwork wooden box. Whenever he stopped in front of a guard, he would present the box to them.

When he stopped in front of Huo Zhi, Gongsun Yibo placed the wooden box in front of her.

Seeing what was inside the box, Qin Ruan distinctly saw shock, rejection and disgust in the depths of Huo Zhi’s eyes.

These emotions quickly vanished, but were seen clearly by the approaching Qin Ruan.

Gongsun Yibo’s hard-edged masculine features carried an impatient air. He scrutinized Huo Zhi, his gaze filled with profound thought.

"Well?" Huo’s second uncle could no longer sit still and quickly walked over.

Out of these people, the one he trusted the most had to be Huo Zhi.

Gongsun Yibo moved his gaze away from Huo Zhi and shook his head at the approaching second uncle.

The latter showed a look of regret, but there was nothing he could do.

He held the wooden box in his hand as he moved on to the next Hidden Guard.

The next few moments saw him examine six more guards.

When he stood in front of four of them, he shook his head each time.

It wasn’t until he stood in front of Song Qing that a sharp, indescribable sound emanated from Gongsun Yibo.

The shrill, piercing sound was constant, and just listening to it made one’s skin crawl.
