CHAPTER 420: CHAPTER 418: CHU YAN GETS JEALOUS, INSISTING HIS WIFE PICK HIM UP

"Could it be that his time in the sun is almost up?"

"No, no."

Black Impermanence wouldn’t dare to hook Chu Yan, unless he no longer wanted to be a ghost.

He was just a bit curious about King Chujiang’s love life, hoping he would hurry back to the underworld.

"Is this the Ghost King? Why does he look somewhat familiar?"

Black Impermanence finally noticed the Ghost King, stroking his chin as he circled around him.

"Hey, what’s your name?"

Too lazy to flip through the Book of Life and Death, he asked directly.

"Ababa ababa ababa."

The Ghost King stared at him with a vacant look, drooling all the while.

"???"

Are you kidding me? This is the Ghost King?

Qin Zhao then explained, "I just did a Soul Search, which sort of affected his mind."

"Fine, I’ll just have to check the Book of Life and Death."

Black Impermanence pulled out an underworld iPad, opened the camera, and scanned the Ghost King.

Soon, the Ghost King’s identity information popped up on the screen.

"My heavens, it’s actually the Ghost King who escaped from Avici Hell!"

Qin Zhao and the others were also stunned.

"He’s the Ghost King imprisoned in hell? Why did he escape?"

"I have no clue."

Black Impermanence’s expression grew a bit solemn, "I need to take him back first. I won’t chat more with you all. If you encounter any Ghost Kings in the Human World, you can contact me directly!"

After saying that, he gave Qin Zhao a token made of Black Iron Wood.

Using this token with the Yin Summoning Spell, one could directly summon Black Impermanence.

"Is there trouble in the underworld?"

Nan Xian saw Black Impermanence leave hurriedly with the Ghost King and felt something was quite unusual.

"Let’s hope not."

They returned to the village, where Qin Zhao and Nan Xian paid a villager to let them stay in their home.

The Ghost King had already been dealt with; tomorrow, when Ma Bin appeared, they would just grab him.

They had just entered the room and were getting ready to rest when Qin Zhao received a call from Chu Yan.

"Where are you?"

The voice from the other end was icy cold.

"Out catching ghosts."

"With Nan Xian?"

Qin Zhao was surprised, "How do you know?"

Because Qi Ling had sent him a photo of the two of them Sword Controlling together!

Since they were a distance away, the photo wasn’t very clear; it only showed two figures, one in front of the other, standing on a Longsword. It was unknown whether Nan Xian was holding Qin Zhao or not!

"You’d rather bring him along than me!"

Chu Yan’s voice carried a bit of anger, his tone grinding.

"You had work, and besides, Nan Xian is a Heavenly Master, so it’s reasonable for me to bring him along to catch ghosts."

"I don’t care! Come pick me up, I want to join you!"

Qin Zhao’s lips twitched, "It’s quite late, wouldn’t it be better for you to sleep at home?"

"Qin, Zhao!"

He didn’t say anything else, just called her name.

"Alright, I’ll come and get you."

This is so annoying!

Even though she found Chu Yan really annoying, Qin Zhao still Sword Controlled back to Imperial City.

Fortunately, Xianghe Village wasn’t far, and she made it there in half an hour on her Flying Sword.

Chu Yan stood waiting for her on the balcony, his handsome face a picture of gloom.

"Come up."

Qin Zhao looked at him helplessly.

Chu Yan’s expression was icy as he stepped onto her Flying Sword.

As they began to fly off, Chu Yan wrapped his arm around her slender waist.

After a while, he suddenly asked in her ear, "Did he hold you like this too?"

His arm around her waist tightened, making it hard for her to breathe.

"Loosen up a bit."

His cool Phoenix Eyes darkened. His chin rested on the back of her neck, his warm breath tickling the back of her ear, electrifying like a cat’s claws, and giving off a dangerous sensation.

"You answer me first."

His thin lips lightly touched her earlobe.

Qin Zhao’s heart trembled, and she struggled to concentrate on controlling the sword.

If it weren’t for the fact that they were the only ones flying through the sky, there might have even been a traffic accident!

"I haven’t! How could Nan Xian possibly hold me like that?"

Qin Zhao bit her lip, "Let go a bit, don’t stay so close to me."

Chu Yan refused to comply, his gaze growing darker as he bit her earlobe again.

The flying sword jerked violently, nearly causing them to fall.

"You...!"

Seeing her eyes flash with anger, Chu Yan innocently said, "You’re flying so fast, I’m scared."

"You’re scared my ass! Haven’t I flown with you before?"

Chu Yan argued righteously, "Every time I think about another man sitting on your flying sword, I get upset. When I’m upset, I feel scared."

A cold glint flashed in his phoenix eyes, tinged with a hint of crimson fury.

Yet, he still hugged Qin Zhao tightly, as if terrified, his chin pressing against the back of her neck, rubbing, and again began gently biting her neck, clearly determined not to let her be at ease.

"Chu Yan! Don’t make me throw you off!"

"You wouldn’t dare."

Qin Zhao breathed unevenly with anger, and in the end, firmly bound him using a Binding Spirit Technique.

It was not until they finally returned to the small village that Qin Zhao loosened the bonds.

Chu Yan’s expression fluctuated between light and dark as he observed Qin Zhao’s room. Only when he noticed she wasn’t living with Nan Xian did his handsome face slightly relax.

Seeing her heading to the bathroom to wash up, Chu Yan said, "I want to shower with you."

Qin Zhao kicked him away directly, "Go to hell!"

Damn it, what a bastard!

Why is he always such a troublemaker?

"Zhaozhao."

He sat on the bed, tugging at the hem of her clothes, not letting her leave, his expression pitiful.

With a strong pull, he drew her into his embrace.

"Just one kiss and you won’t be angry anymore, okay? If you’re not angry, I won’t be either."

Qin Zhao glared at him, "You dare to be angry?"

"Why should your flying sword carry other men?"

"What am I supposed to do? Hang Nan Xian from a rope under the flying sword and bring him here?"

Chu Yan considered this seriously, "I think that’s a good idea."

Qin Zhao stood up and warned, "Don’t cause any more trouble. I’m here on official business. Today, I even encountered a Ghost King that escaped from hell."

"Does that mean we can’t shower together?"

"No!"

What the hell is he thinking? Does he have a death wish?

With a cold huff, Qin Zhao went straight to the bathroom to wash up.

-

The next day, Ma Bin had already arrived in the village, and Qin Zhao had not yet gotten out of bed.

Qin Zhao hadn’t agreed to shower with Chu Yan the night before, so during bedtime, he deliberately tormented her, tossing and turning her around for a long time.

She was almost asleep when she was jolted awake.

Qin Zhao regretted not going to pick him up yesterday!

She didn’t know when she started to indulge Chu Yan’s unreasonable demands!

When she left the house, Nan Xian was startled to see Chu Yan exit the room, nearly jumping with fright.

"Holy shit!"

He let out an uncharacteristically rough swear.

Afterward, he quickly covered his mouth, reverting to his usual graceful and detached demeanor.

Chu Yan watched Nan Xian, sneering inwardly.

Shocked, aren’t you?

Thinking of luring Qin Zhao away and then stealing her, aren’t you?

I’ll never give Nan Xian that chance!

Chu Yan’s lips curled into a smile that didn’t reach his eyes.

He said to Nan Xian, "Qin Zhao went out of her way to pick me up yesterday. I thought you might not have any good food to eat here, so I brought some desserts."

To secure his place in Qin Zhao’s heart, Chu Yan had actually made donuts for Nan Xian.

He handed the lunchbox filled with donuts to Nan Xian.

"Donuts?"

Nan Xian paused for a moment and then his face lit up with joy.

"Chu Yan! You’re really the best!"
