CHAPTER 403: CHAPTER 403: I LOVE YOU (177)

Long Yubei leaned against her, resting his head on her shoulder, "Let them be, everyone should sweep the snow from their own doorstep. My wife hasn’t come back to me yet, so I won’t bother with them."

Gu Lili reached out and poked his head, "Your head is so heavy; are you trying to crush me to death?"

Long Yubei remained still, "I don’t know why these days, but I always feel sleepy and listless."

"Could it be a cold?"

He replied with his eyes closed, "No."

"You lay down and get some sleep."

Long Yubei lay down and slept, wrapping his arms around her waist, "Lili, seeing Cong Mo like that, I actually thought of my past self. Never leave me again."

Gu Lili was about to speak when he had already fallen asleep.

She had been quite comfortable recently, without any troubling matters; her only concern was for the two little ones in her belly.

She had fallen asleep after eating and now woke up feeling wide awake.

Gu Lili dimmed the light of her desk lamp.

She picked up a childcare book and began to read; the soft orange light reflected on her face, and the room was extremely quiet.

After a while, the sound of thunder and lightning came from outside.

Soon a heavy rain poured down, fast and furious.

Gu Lili felt an inexplicable sense of panic, as if something big was about to happen.

With the book in hand, she could no longer concentrate on a single word.

She put the book aside, deciding not to read it anymore, covered Long Yubei with a blanket, and lay there quietly by herself.

At that moment, Gu Lili saw Long Yubei’s soul drift out of his body.

Gu Lili was terrified; his soul should not leave his body under normal circumstances.

"Long... Long Yubei..." She got up and tried to follow him, but with his eyes closed, he quickly flew out of the window, as if he couldn’t hear her voice at all.

Gu Lili hurriedly followed by astral projection, but he was already out of sight.

Panicked, she went straight to the underworld to find Xiao Xin.

Seeing her, Xiao Xin was even more frightened, "Madam, what brings you here again?"

"Xiao Xin, my child’s father’s soul left his body on its own. Please help me find out what happened?"

"Left on its own? Does that mean he’s dead?"

"How can he be dead? Shouldn’t a Ghost Messenger be here to collect him if he’s dead? He flew out on his own, and he didn’t respond when I called him," Gu Lili was frantic, "Xiao Xin, can you please help me find out what’s going on?"

"Then follow me and let’s check it out," said Xiao Xin while walking, "Did you know that living people are not supposed to come to the underworld these days?"

"Why not?"

"The entire underworld is preparing for the return of the Seventh Prince to his original form, it’s a big deal."

Gu Lili hurriedly said, "I wouldn’t dare to come here again if not for this incident happening."

Following the Ghost Messenger Xiao Xin to the Dead Souls registration, they did not find Long Yubei’s soul.

"It’s not here."

"Impossible, he clearly flew out. Where could he have gone?"

"He might not have come to the underworld; it’s hard to say. I have to go get busy now, so you should hurry back."

Gu Lili was on the verge of breaking down, "I will go find the Ninth Prince."

"Are you looking to be sent to your death by seeking him out?" whispered Xiao Xin, "The Ninth Prince has found Lin Yueer now; he has no time for you."

"No, I must ask him for help."

Gu Lili said this and quickly headed to Su Changzhi’s mansion.

At this point, she couldn’t care about anything else.

After asking for permission to see the Ninth Prince, Xiao Hei soon came out, "What are you doing here?"
