"That’s true." Avril suddenly seed relieved, comfortably leaning on the couch. If she didn’t know Ye Shikai before and hadn’t known his identity, perhaps Avril would have been trembling with fear by now, being with the Netherworld King for so long; thinking about it indeed made her excited.
"No wonder Zeus suddenly received news of his death, it should have sothing to do with you, right?" Avril asked curiously.
"Indeed." Ye Shikai nodded in agreent. If it weren’t for his partnership with Chen Yuxin for profit, he wouldn’t have brought upon himself such mortal danger.
Ye Shikai considered himself not much nobler than Zeus; they were birds of a feather. Working with them ant bearing the costs of "collaboration" at any ti. A slight misstep could lead to eternal damnation. Zeus’s most foolish aspect was his desperation for breakthroughs, forgetting caution, lull into complacency, which led to his demise due to Chen Yuxin and Ji Qian’s plot.
"I’ve heard before, the Netherworld Palace has countless subordinates, heroes gathered, no wonder Sixth Master’s attitude changed drastically overnight, Martin’s luck was to have your help."
"Martin has been kind to , naturally I won’t let him suffer. So I want to help him one last ti before leaving."
"Well then, dear Netherworld King, would I be honored to invite you to a drink?" Avril stood up, filled the glass, and handed it to Ye Shikai.
"Of course."
The two gently clinked glasses and drank the wine in one gulp.
"I wonder when I’ll see you again next ti." Avril’s face slightly flushed.
"I think it won’t be long." Ye Shikai said calmly. With Zeus dead, the power in North Arica started to collapse, attracting other Main Gods to "divide the spoils." The Netherworld Palace was the strongest among them, but Ye Shikai wasn’t too ambitious about expanding the business. Moreover, despite Zeus’s death, it didn’t an the God King Hall’s power collapsed, rashly expanding business here would only lead to losses.
Therefore, the forces from the Three Temples couldn’t enter North Arica, and Ye Shikai might not return again. However, the truth often hurts, Ye Shikai still left Avril with so hope.
North Arica Airport.
"When does the plane take off?" Ye Shikai sat in the first-class cabin, closing his eyes to rest. This ti the destination was Europe. He seed to have forgotten the feeling of commanding from the Netherworld Palace. He even doubted whether he now possessed the ability to command.
"Soon." At this mont, a familiar voice sounded, Ye Shikai opened his eyes and turned his head. Ji Qian slowly ca over, sitting beside him.
"Why are you here? Didn’t I ask you to return to Yanjing first?" Ye Shikai was quite surprised; he didn’t expect Ji Qian to also board this flight.
Ji Qian had been in North Arica for quite a while, the Ji Family must be worried, so Ye Shikai wanted to send her back first. After all, with Nightmare, Soul Destroyer, and others by his side, safety was not a concern.
"I thought, let’s return together first. The matters at Moon God Temple require my handling." Ji Qian seed to have found a clumsy excuse. When she’s not at Moon God Temple, many things were taken care of by Selena, she didn’t really need to do them herself.
"About Chen Yuxin... what did you say?" Ji Qian showed an anxious expression. Based on Chen Yuxin’s personality, Ye Shikai spoke those "cold-hearted" words that day; she didn’t know what reaction he might have. In case of an extre act, it wouldn’t be good.
"I told her I’m going to Europe, she didn’t stop ." Ye Shikai said calmly. After what happened last ti, Chen Yuxin must be very uneasy now. She worried that Ye Shikai might truly leave her. If it was truly irreversible, even if she was pregnant, Ye Shikai wouldn’t compromise. Thus, she dared not push Ye Shikai any further.
Ji Qian originally wanted to ask more but hesitated and swallowed her words...
"Or perhaps, you could comfort her." For so reason, the first to soften was Ji Qian. Perhaps because she worried about the child in Chen Yuxin’s belly; if it was hard due to her, she would feel guilty.
"Alright, I will. Don’t worry." Ye Shikai seed to have so resentnt, still angry at Chen Yuxin.
"Dear Sirs, the plane won’t arrive for a while; what would you like for lunch?" Nightmare kept vigilant around; after all, this was not the specialty plane of the Netherworld Palace but a regular flight, one couldn’t be sure of who was onboard. Nightmare dared not relax and constantly monitored the plane’s status.
"A bowl of noodles, please." Ji Qian nodded and said.
"I’m not hungry, won’t eat." Ye Shikai turned his head. He was in a bad mood currently; as the old saying goes, anger is punishing oneself with others’ mistakes. Whether resenting or being angry at Chen Yuxin, his mood wouldn’t improve, instead, he felt pained.
"Alright then, sire, please wait."
"Seems like you should have a good talk with her after all; considering you both have to be together down the road." Ji Qian sighed. She worried Ye Shikai would revert to that despondent state. As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Shikai also turned his gaze towards Ji Qian, showing a hint of an unusual look in his eyes, sowhat... despondent.
"You should eat sothing, this flight is long." Ji Qian suddenly said, grabbing the fork and lifting noodles towards Ye Shikai’s mouth.
"You aren’t planning to feed , are you?" Ji Qian teased.
"Forget it, I’ll ask Nightmare to get another serving." Ye Shikai was left speechless by Ji Qian, he didn’t want to be treated like a child.
.......................................
"Family Head, what should we do now?" anwhile, Chen Ruoya cautiously asked in a hotel in North Arica. Ever since returning from the Three Temples’ camp, Chen Yuxin’s mood has been poor and sensitive, frequently raging and smashing things in the room into pieces.
This ti, Chen Ruoya also carefully avoided Chen Yuxin’s anger before daring to ask; after all, a bunch of people can’t stay in North Arica forever. Moreover, the people from Three Temples have already left.
"Return to Yanjing." Chen Yuxin’s eyes were red from crying; she seed to have cried many tis. Her face was also pale. She hadn’t eaten anything or rested all day.
"Alright, I’ll arrange it imdiately." Chen Ruoya worried Chen Yuxin might lash out again, quickly exited the room.
"Ruoya, wait a mont."
"Family Head, do you have any other instructions?"
"I want to go to Europe."
