In the Bitter Cold City of the Underworld,
Ye Dongfang, head of the Ye family, carefully watched the beautiful figure ahead, his heart filled with unease.
So ti ago,
A woman nad Ying Naiyan suddenly appeared, claiming to be a ghost from the Broken Soul Stronghold,
Here to seek Ye Yu’s whereabouts.
But by heaven’s conscience, Ye Dongfang had never fathered a son.
So he repeatedly explained this and asked if Ying Naiyan might have co to the wrong place.
Afterward, Ying Naiyan did not press the matter and turned to leave Bitter ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) Cold City.
Ye Dongfang found this odd and secretly sent people to investigate the Broken Soul Stronghold.
Unexpectedly, the information returned confird Ying Naiyan was indeed the junior sister of Xia Yuping, the Stronghold Chief.
She was mid-stage Earth Ghost Realm, but stubborn and obstinate.
Hmm, mid Earth Ghost Realm cultivation was quite formidable.
But stubborn and obstinate? Not so obvious; she was fairly reasonable.
Where was this stubbornness coming from?
Ye Dongfang treated this as a minor episode and soon forgot about it.
Yet, just a few months later,
Ying Naiyan returned to Bitter Cold City, seriously asking if she could stay temporarily in the Ye residence.
And firmly requested the east wing room,
Claiming it had once been Ye Yu’s place.
Instinctively, Ye Dongfang wanted to refuse.
After all, this was the Ye family’s territory; suddenly letting a strange woman live there was sowhat inappropriate.
East wing too?
Knowing his wife’s suspicious nature, who knows what she might imagine?
Before Ye Dongfang could refuse, the steward called him out.
Claiming scouts from Broken Soul Stronghold sent urgent intelligence again.
The situation was sudden; the master was requested to read the report before deciding how to speak to Miss Ying.
Curious, Ye Dongfang wondered,
How so? How to speak to Miss Ying?
This was Bitter Cold City, the Ye family’s domain; as head, he could speak as he pleased.
Why take anyone else’s mood into account?
Ye Dongfang snorted coldly but still opened the report.
After reading it,
His face turned pale, almost collapsing; fortunately, the steward caught him before he embarrassed himself.
The reason was the content of the letter:
“In three months, Ying Naiyan broke through three realms, reaching mid-stage Heavenly Ghost Realm.
She single-handedly went to the western Underworld, slaughtering fifty-eight sects.
With no reason, no warning.
Dubbed the Western Butcher.
After the new wave of ghost energy revived, she apprenticed to the Ghost King Realm expert Dongkui!”
In total, three facts in the letter.
Each alone enough to cause headache.
Fifty-eight sects!
That was not fifty-eight ghosts; assuming each sect had a hundred ghosts,
That’s five thousand eight hundred...
All without reason or warning.
Such an aggressive personality? Why didn’t anyone control her?
Oh right, she even had a Ghost King Realm master.
Who still dares to rile her up? Are they courting death?
Such a curse!
Ye Dongfang thanked the steward profusely, imdiately deleting all refusal thoughts from his mind.
He returned to the main hall with the kindest smile.
He told Ying Naiyan that the east wing was now her ho, stay as long as she wished.
Whatever she wanted, the Ye family would provide, just to ensure her comfort and peace.
Ying Naiyan was very pleased, imdiately taking out several storage rings and placing them on the table.
She claid they were left by the heads of several ghost sects and contained so decent items.
She said it could count as rent.
Honestly, at that ti, Ye Dongfang’s heart was breaking.
What kind of “leftover” were these?
Did they only remain after ghosts were utterly smashed to pieces?
Surely the items were good, but Ye Dongfang dared not spend a penny.
Just provided for daily.
To this day, it remained so, though Ye Dongfang would instinctively glance toward the figure in the east wing courtyard.
No matter how he looked, she really didn’t seem like soone who could slaughter fifty-eight ghost sects.
And why did she insist on staying in this remote Bitter Cold City?
What exactly was she after?
Ye Dongfang pondered endlessly without answer.
Ying Naiyan sat alone in the courtyard, quietly gazing at the sky.
Thanks to her dream mories,
She never worried about cultivation.
At least until the peak Ghost Lord Realm, she needn’t concern herself.
Besides, the thod and route to ascend to heaven were all in her mory.
Because Ying Naiyan’s task was to patiently wait for her strength to grow further.
During this ti,
She did not want to return to the cold Broken Soul Stronghold, so she chose Bitter Cold City.
Even without Ye Yu here, it gave her a mont of peace.
That feeling was comfortable.
She just hoped her husband in the Heavenly Realm wouldn’t wait too anxiously.
She would co find him soon!
This ti, she would succeed!
Determination shone in Ying Naiyan’s eyes as she rose to enter seclusion for cultivation.
At that mont,
A figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere, landing right in Ying Naiyan’s arms.
She was about to attack this “assailant,”
But upon recognizing him,
Her eyes reddened, and she whispered softly, “Husband, am I... am I not dreaming?”
“Hm?”
Ye Yu blinked, quickly adapting to the surroundings.
Seeing Ying Naiyan’s face beside him, he was quite surprised.
But he did not speak first; instead, he wanted to stand.
After all, this posture was too embarrassing—
Being princess-carried!
For a man, that was an extrely niche phrase.
But the attempt to stand failed.
Because Ying Naiyan tightly held onto Ye Yu.
“Don’t leave , please!”
Ye Yu hesitated, seeing her fearful eyes, and ultimately did not refuse.
After a while,
When Ying Naiyan’s emotions stabilized,
Ye Yu got down.
Curious, he asked, “How did you end up here?”
Ying Naiyan imdiately recounted everything that had recently happened,
Including her doubts about events in the dream.
Ye Yu skillfully explained using the parallel worlds theory.
Ying Naiyan did not fully understand, catching only the gist.
But that wasn’t important.
What mattered was seeing her husband again!
Compared to Ying Naiyan’s excitent, Ye Yu seed calm.
Not because he didn’t like her,
But because he was pondering how to correct the Boundary Pearl’s misdirection.
Rember, when leaving the Demon Realm,
His set destination was the Monster Realm,
Not the Underworld!
Damn, fooled again!
While Ye Yu was lost in thought, a clear and elegant voice sounded.
“So this is the husband you’ve been longing for?”
Hearing this, Ye Yu turned.
He saw a palace-dressed woman who had sohow appeared not far away.
