The Eight-Faced Ghost Ancestor's expression suddenly changed, and his voice dropped even lower as he whispered, “Shh, keep your voice down. Those internal attendants... sigh, when the Lord of the Underworld went missing unexpectedly in the cosmic sea, everyone in Yellow Spring Mountain was on edge. Especially in the inner court of the Lord of the Underworld, there has not been a day of peace, always worrying about enemy attacks.”
“To reassure everyone in Yellow Spring Mountain, once Yan Po Great Emperor took over the palace of the Lord of the Underworld, he ordered that all of the Lord's attendants could continue to reside in this palace. Water from one well does not interfere with water from another, so these attendants are still living here now. You will see them shortly.”
Damn!
Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor's eyes widened in disbelief as he exclaimed, “What… what… are there some of the Lord of the Underworld's women among these attendants?”
Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor was stunned, his body trembling uncontrollably. Although the Lord of the Underworld had no offspring and did not care much for women, as a great emperor of the four extremes, how could he not have female cultivators accompanying him? Even for the sake of appearances, he would need to keep some around, especially for major events where enchanting female cultivators would be needed for entertainment.
These female cultivators were the Lord of the Underworld's prized possessions, always placed in this palace. Now that Yan Po Great Emperor had taken over the Lord of the Underworld’s palace, those women were still residing there.
This… a solitary man among many women, what kind of situation is this?
Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor's face changed instantly, and he said solemnly, “This… is inappropriate, right? Little Yan… this is somewhat excessive.”
Though he did not care for himself, he still needed to consider the Lord of the Underworld’s reputation. “Shh.” The Eight-Faced Ghost Ancestor quickly interrupted Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor’s words, fearing they might be overheard by Yan Po Great Emperor. “Ten Thousand Bones, some things cannot be casually said. Yan Po Great Emperor is the Lord's adopted son and has always been respectful towards his several sisters-in-law. What you said puts Yan Po Great Emperor and the Lord of the Underworld in a difficult position. If this gets out, it would be terrible.”
Damn.
Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor cursed in his heart. Do you even realize how bad it is? If you know it’s bad, why is Little Yan still doing this? Isn’t this giving someone power?
“Um… does no one have any objections?” Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor felt pity for the Lord of the Underworld and couldn’t help but turn to look at everyone else.
Meanwhile, Nine Netherworld Demon Lord and others had also overheard the two conversing softly, but each of them kept their eyes on their own business, pretending not to notice.
“You all… sigh… Little Yan… I don’t even know what to say.”
In the end, Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor could only sigh.
Great Emperor, I can’t help you here.
In the Chaotic World, everyone could hear the conversation clearly. In an instant, Mo Li and others looked at the Lord of the Underworld with strange expressions, revealing a hint of pity for this former great emperor.
The Lord of the Underworld, on the other hand, had a face ashen and did not speak. His expression turned green, but everyone could sense the endless rage within him, as if he wanted to kill someone right there.
At a critical moment, Qin Chen stepped forward and gently patted the Lord of the Underworld’s shoulder, saying softly, “Lord of the Underworld, don’t be too anxious. Sometimes things are not as terrible as you imagine, are they? Look at it positively, think of it in a good way.”
Qin Chen continued to comfort him, “If it weren’t for Yan Po Great Emperor, Yellow Spring Mountain might have been destroyed back then. If that had happened, your women would have faced an even worse fate. Thinking of it this way… doesn’t it feel a bit better in your heart?”
