"Niece, what's going on here?" I instantly blushed, but at the same time I also knew that the one who had come before was indeed Little Ink. Little Ink was in the romance section again, and I had just heard Little Ink's voice, so I relaxed and hurriedly explained, "It's not what you two are thinking. We were ambushed by the Grudge-bearing woman. Your boss fainted after spitting out a mouthful of blood to save me."
"What Grudge-bearing woman? What is that? Why haven't I heard of it? Never mind, you two stay put. I'll bring Little Ink over right away." My words had just fallen when the anxious voice of the romance author came through the phone.
Then, just as I hung up the phone, I saw Romance hurriedly appear with Little Ink. It seems that they are not far from each other. As soon as they met, Romance took Shen Chen in his arms and fed him an unknown pill, while asking me, "Miss Yuan, what's going on with you guys? How could this happen in the Shen Family's main courtyard..." Before he could finish, Romance's face suddenly changed and he said, "This is bad, the underworld is about to be turned upside down."
"What do you mean?" I asked nervously. No matter what, I am the Queen of the Underworld, and the underworld is my territory. How could I not be anxious when something like this happens in my territory?
"Alas! The disappearance of the Dark Lord, I don't know who leaked it out. Powerful beings from all corners of the underworld have begun to stir, and This King can't suppress it anymore. Alas, Dark Lord has become what he is now," said Romance with a troubled expression.
"Why did Dark Lord disappear? Anyway, Shen Chen is the Dark Lord. When he wakes up, you can find a way to make him go to the underworld and appease the ghosts, and it will be settled," I suggested to Romance as I looked at Shen Chen, who was gradually recovering.
"Hey, my goodness, you make it sound so easy. If the Dark Lord doesn't return to the underworld in his true form, do you think the ghostly followers will still obey him?" Romance gave me a look as if to say, "You idiot."
"Okay, okay, I'm an idiot again. But why did the Dark Lord disappear? You still haven't told me. I'm really curious. The Dark Lord is the highest ruler of the underworld, so what could be more important than the safety of the underworld that made him abandon his responsibilities and disappear? I rolled my eyes at Romance and then glanced at Shen Chen, asking."
"Dark Lord gave up his true form and reincarnated just to find you, but ended up like this. Yesterday, he forcibly returned to the underworld for its safety, as you saw, but it was a close call," said the romantic with a look that seemed to say, "You are trouble."
"Looking for me? Does that mean there's some connection between my past life and Dark Lord?" I asked in astonishment, completely bewildered.
"Of course, you know, in your past life, you were..." The romantic words were interrupted halfway by Shen Chen's heavy cough. The romantic dared not say anything more and instead smiled slyly, saying, "Just kidding, Miss Yuan, don't take it seriously. If you have any questions, you should ask the boss yourself. Little Ink, let's go, I'll take you for a walk."
The romantic guy really didn't want to be in the spotlight, so he made a quick exit, using Little Ink as an excuse, picking her up and running away.
"Mr. Chen, are you awake? Are you feeling better?" Seeing Shen Chen wake up again, I finally let go of the worry that had been hanging over me. Based on Shen Chen's recent behavior, it seems that he truly cares about me. And from the tone of his words, it seems that Shen Chen disappeared to the mortal world for my sake. This really touched me.
"I'm much better, woman. Don't listen to the nonsense. You and I only met in this lifetime. We met five years ago. At that time, I, This head, was deceived by Mrs. Shen, thinking that you had betrayed me. This caused a shock to This head's spirit, and unexpectedly unlocked the first seal of This head, reminding This head that I was originally the Dark Lord of the underworld. After that, I began to investigate the truth of your infidelity from back then, and it wasn't until last night that I fully understood," Shen Chen explained weakly to me.
In my eyes, I seem to see a kind of obvious feeling in Shen Chen. I always feel that things are far from simple. But looking at Shen Chen's weak appearance, I'd rather let him rest before speaking. So I quickly interrupted Shen Chen and said, "Mr. Chen, let's not talk about this for now. Let me help you to the guest room to rest first. It's too far to go to the Shen Family Old Mansion. How about we wait for you to recover before going?"
"No, This head's body must return to the outskirts of Shen Family Old Mansion to recover in the coffin. Otherwise, woman, you go and get a car. We'll drive over there," Shen Chen shook his head and then looked extremely tired as he closed his eyes to rest.
Upon seeing this, I hurried to find a car. I casually pulled over a servant from the Shen Family and quickly arranged for a sports car to appear in our sight. Upon hearing the sound of the car, Shen Chen also opened his eyes and reached out his fair and slender hand to me. I immediately grabbed his hand to help him stand up. The driver from the Shen Family in the car also had sharp eyes and quickly got out of the car to assist me in helping Shen Chen into the sports car.
With the assistance of the car, we quickly arrived at the outskirts of the Shen Family Old Mansion. Shen Chen raised his hand and took out a remote control from his pocket. With a press of the button, the gate opened. Once the gate was open, Shen Chen gestured to the driver, "You can go down first and let Miss Yuan drive."
It seems that it's not easy for anyone to enter here. It looks like this is Shen Chen's private territory, and very few people are allowed in.
Sitting in the driver's seat, I drove the car straight through the gate. Just as I entered the gate, I saw Fubo pushing Taoshi over. I turned back and asked Shen Chen, "Which room are we going to, or should I let Fubo lead the way?"
But as soon as I finished speaking, I saw Shen Chen suddenly disappear, as if he had been sucked in by something. This startled me, so I quickly stopped the car, rolled down the window, and shouted to Fubo, "Fubo, Mr. Chen just disappeared in the car. Is he in danger?"
Fubo glanced at me, without the surprised expression I had expected, and asked calmly, "Young master, did he seem to be absorbed by something?"
"Yes, that's right," I nodded busily.
"It's nothing, the young master will be fine. Since Second Young Madam is back, continue taking care of the second young master," Fubo said calmly as he pushed taoshi in front of my car.
Upon seeing this, I immediately got out of the car and said to Fubo with a smile, "Forget it, Fubo, don't act with me. Your young master already knows that taoshi and I can chat in the coffin. I don't believe you don't know, taoshi, wake up, Stop pretending, he has long seen through it."
"Miss Yuan, it seems you've been through a lot these past few days. Now that you know, this old servant will retire. You two can chat here. I take my leave," Fubo said, then disappeared like a wisp of smoke.
However, Taoshi still didn't move. I hurried forward and patted Taoshi's face, saying, "Wake up, Taoshi. You've been found out. Shen Chen knows about us lying in the coffin and chatting. Stop pretending. Since we've been exposed, we might as well talk openly. I have some questions for you."
"Really? I've been found out? That's impossible!" Taoshi slowly opened his eyes and looked around before responding.
"Taoshi, how did you just open your eyes? Can I still deceive you? I was really worried when I saw you not waking up, I thought something had happened to you. You don't trust me so much, it really hurts my heart. Can we still be friends in the future?" I pretended to be angry as I looked at taoshi, of course, half of this anger was real.
"Yuan Yuan, no, I was afraid that someone was impersonating you to deceive me. You don't know, there have been several incidents like this in the past few days, but I saw through it every time. Just now, I was using my telepathy to sense you, to see if it was another fake that delayed my time." Taoshi saw that I was angry and immediately sat up, eager to explain to me.
"What, there have been several incidents like this, could it be Fubo?" I asked in surprise.
"Probably, because every time I can feel it's a male presence, it should be Fubo trying to deceive me. But if Shen Chen already knew I was hiding in the coffin talking to you, why would he still let Fubo come and deceive me?" taoshi also said, looking puzzled.
