Chapter 508: Chapter 508

Black and White Impermanence arrived at the guesthouse, but the other mortals couldn’t see them.

Chu Yan had summoned them to investigate the matter concerning Yan Yi.

At this moment, they stood at the corner of the wall.

"Your Highness, what matter have you summoned us for?"

Black and White Impermanence bowed to Chu Yan.

"There’s something off about that person, I suspect they’re a ghost that escaped from the underworld, take them back for questioning."

Chu Yan jerked his chin towards Yan Yi’s direction.

Both ghosts followed Chu Yan’s gaze but saw no sign of Yan Yi.

Chu Yan frowned slightly, surprised that Yan Yi had escaped so quickly.

Since she could see Black and White Impermanence, there was definitely an issue.

Although Yan Yi had taken the chance to flee, she hadn’t gone far. Chu Yan’s Divine Sense spread out and quickly located the direction of Yan Yi’s escape, directing Black and White Impermanence to give chase.

"Zhaozhao, wait here for me."

Hearing her concern for him, Chu Yan couldn’t help but curve his lips into a smile, "Alright."

Qin Zhao saw Yan Yi escaping, but with Chu Yan and Black and White Impermanence present, she did not intervene.

After all, she couldn’t see through Yan Yi, and with a baby on the way, she couldn’t risk harming the child in her womb.

Chu Yan and Black and White Impermanence left the guesthouse, and it wasn’t long before they captured Yan Yi.

"Vile creature, to think you used such a concealed method to hide!"

Chu Yan forced Yan Yi’s soul from her body, which was enveloped in a thick, bloody malevolence and chilling yin energy, clearly possessing the cultivation of a Ghost King.

This was actually a Female Ghost King, with a strange black patterned talisman on her forehead.

"I, I didn’t mean to escape on purpose!"

Seeing the situation turn sour, Yan Yi quickly knelt down.

"The three esteemed ones, please spare me! I am a ghost under the custody of King Zhuanlun, who would have expected an accident in King Zhuanlun’s hell that created an enormous passageway, swallowing us all in.

In the blink of an eye, we arrived in the Human World! I didn’t intentionally escape!"

Chu Yan’s eyebrows arched slightly, but his eyes were cold.

"Are you suggesting that King Zhuanlun let you out?"

Yan Yi paused in her speech, then continued, "What I mean is, it was an accident that brought us to the Mortal World. I don’t know if the accident has anything to do with King Zhuanlun."

Chu Yan reached out to touch the talisman on her forehead, but as soon as he made contact, the talisman spontaneously combusted into ash.

He didn’t even have time to stop it.

"This is a talisman for concealing ghost energy, something I stumbled upon by chance."

Yan Yi displayed a cooperative attitude, appearing to confess honestly.

"This..." She hesitated for a moment, "I got it just after I came out. I’ve forgotten exactly where it was now."

Black Impermanence, having seen his fair share of crafty ghosts, snorted coldly at her words.

His Soul Beating Whip struck Yan Yi directly.

"You can’t give a straight answer after all this time; I think someone deliberately helped you hide! If you confess properly, we can plead on your behalf with the Netherworld Emperor, otherwise, you’ll be sent to the Endless Abyss to suffer for eternity!"

Upon hearing the words "Endless Abyss," Yan Yi’s face turned ashen.

This was one of the underworld’s most terrifying places of punishment, from which almost no ghost could escape.

"Please no, Your Excellency! I really don’t know!"

Yan Yi started wailing loudly, proclaiming her innocence, giving Chu Yan a headache.

"Take her back for interrogation and also check the lead on that talisman earlier."

Black and White Impermanence bound Yan Yi and took her back to the underworld.

They’d not gone far when Chu Yan was about to return to his wife, and then White Impermanence came back to find him.

"Your Highness, the Netherworld Emperor summons you urgently!"

Chu Yan’s expression stiffened, "What’s the matter?"

It was an urgent summons.

Could something big have happened?

"His Majesty didn’t elaborate, he just asked you to return immediately."

"I need to tell my wife."

Seeing Chu Yan first return to the guesthouse, White Impermanence couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.

You see, even the Netherworld Emperor of the underworld might not be able to control King Chujiang. Yet now, even just to make a trip to the underworld, he still had to report back to his wife.

Who would have thought that a figure like King Chujiang would be under such strict wifely control?

And an urgent summons—not just any summons!

This means it’s extremely urgent, sir!

Can’t you move any faster?!

Chu Yan didn’t care how urgent the Netherworld Emperor was, but if he didn’t tell Qin Zhao and she realized he hadn’t returned for a long time, she would definitely get angry. And then, he’d be as good as dead!

Back at the guesthouse, Qin Zhao and the others were packing.

"Zhaozhao, something’s come up, and I can’t return with you."

Seeing her inquire, Chu Yan leaned close to her ear and whispered softly, "It’s something to do with the underworld. I’ll be back very soon, don’t miss me."

"Who’s going to miss you? Just go already."

Qin Zhao said this, but it just made Chu Yan unhappy.

"Why wouldn’t you miss me? Aren’t I your husband? When other people go on business trips, their wives always call them, but you never call me."

His usually cold eyes carried a hint of dissatisfaction.

His tone, however, was full of grievance.

"What’s there to call about, you’re not going to get lost, and you can’t die."

Qin Zhao wasn’t overly concerned. She wasn’t afraid that he’d go off with another woman.

Perhaps that way, she could truly convince herself to leave him forever.

Chu Yan knew what was on her mind, and of course, he wouldn’t allow her to get her wish.

"You don’t care about me at all."

Suddenly, he didn’t feel like going to the underworld. His expression turned wistful.

Qin Zhao stopped packing and glanced at him coolly.

"Is there any news about the master?"

She asked almost every day.

Chu Yan felt even sadder, "In your heart, I’m less important than your master."

"It’s good that you know."

Chu Yan felt as if a small knife had plunged into his heart with a puff.

Locking up Nan Xian had felt so satisfying, yet now, he felt so frustrated and regretful.

He hadn’t killed Nan Xian, but he was always carrying the blame!

If he had known it would be , why did he do it in the first place?

His cold phoenix eyes reddened slightly, and a touch of moisture seemed to gather beneath his icy gaze.

Chu Yan stared at Qin Zhao for a while, then pursed his thin lips, not saying anything more. He just recklessly pulled Qin Zhao close and kissed her for a bit.

Qin Zhao didn’t respond, her beautiful peach blossom eyes gazing faintly at him.

He placed his hand over her eyes, not wanting to see her cold look.

Chu Yan whispered before he finally left.

Qin Zhao watched Chu Yan’s retreating figure, touching her slightly throbbing lips that he had nibbled.

It was a long time before she muttered to herself, "What could be happening in the underworld?"

She hoped it wasn’t anything serious, so as not to delay Chu Yan from coming back to cook for her.

The child was partly Chu Yan’s responsibility too. It was only right for Chu Yan to cook for her during her pregnancy.

Qin Zhao was somewhat curious about the affairs of the underworld, and slightly worried.

But this worry, she would never tell Chu Yan.

Since he had regained his memory and still refused to let go, then they might as well torment each other.

She couldn’t act as if nothing had happened like when he had no memory.

Now, staying was only for the child to be born safely.
