Chapter 2403

Zhu Yanyi paused slightly. "Actually, I originally wanted to go to the Underworld, but I wasn't sure if I could."

"Of course you can," Yan Aohan said. "Our child is a natural Yin Spirit. Don't worry. She will be fine in the Underworld."

Zhu Yanyi nodded. "That’s good. It’s the perfect chance to send Mengbao back. Let my parents get used to her slowly. It will be better for them to care for her after she turns one. We’ll just say she was born in the Immortal Realm. No need to mention she is a natural spiritual body."

Yan Aohan laughed. "I’ve noticed our two children always have a time difference. It’s actually very easy to make people believe they are our biological offspring."

Zhu Yanyi smiled and nodded. "That’s good. It saves us from suspicion. Those who know the truth won’t tell anyone."

Yan Aohan hummed. "So, when do you plan to go to the Strategist Alliance?"

"In a few days. Also, besides the Strategist Alliance, we should visit the Buddha Realm when we have time," Zhu Yanyi said seriously. "We must face what needs to be faced."

Zhu Yanyi believed these matters could not be escaped by avoidance.

"Then let’s go to the Underworld," Yan Aohan said, pulling Zhu Yanyi directly there.

Since Yan Aohan returned to her position, this was Zhu Yanyi’s first visit to the Underworld. The Yin energy here was extremely thick. For the Yin messengers, Yin spirits, and residents, the current Underworld was practically a paradise.

"I feel like the Underworld has expanded," Zhu Yanyi said, sensing it the moment she entered.

"Yes, it has," Yan Aohan confirmed. "Now that I am the Yan Emperor, the place naturally needs to expand. It has no boundaries because I build my own territory."

Yan Aohan smiled lightly. "So, wife, we still need to work hard to create the Underworld."

Zhu Yanyi looked at Yan Aohan. She wasn’t sure if she was being suspicious, but she felt she seemed a bit gloating.

"Don’t tell me the current Underworld is just a prototype?" Zhu Yanyi asked slowly.

Yan Aohan nodded firmly, confirming her suspicion.

"Heh," Zhu Yanyi was speechless. This place was like the primordial chaos just opening up. The original Underworld was merely a prototype. The true Underworld could be expanded endlessly, with no limits.

Zhu Yanyi sighed. "No wonder there are Ten Courts of Yanluo."

"But with the Ten Courts of Yanluo, I didn’t think too much. They are just workers. I didn’t realize it included so many responsibilities," Yan Aohan sighed.

Zhu Yanyi laughed. "It’s not difficult. You can simply divide this area into ten regions, letting the Ten Yanluo rule them. Below the Yanluo, set up City Gods. The City Gods manage sub-regions. Below the City Gods, set up Earth Gods, one for every town and village. This way, managing it level by level will bring order. Though it will be very busy."

Hearing Zhu Yanyi’s words, Yan Aohan began to think deeply. "I think your idea is excellent. Previously, we relied on Lao Hei and Lao Bai to catch souls. I can have them set up a Wuchang Hall to train Yin messengers. They will be managed directly by Lao Hei and Lao Bai. After capturing souls, they report to their respective regions and are gradually consolidated."

Zhu Yanyi nodded. "Yes. This way, Lao Pan will have more work too. After all, we need to set up a Judge practice chamber. All the judges in various places will be assessed and assigned by her."

The couple was definitely cunning. They were plotting to utilize all the current Yin spirits and Yin immortals.

At that moment, the Ten Yanluo, Lao Hei, Lao Bai, and Lao Pan all shivered simultaneously.

"We all shivered at the same time. Is someone plotting against us?" Lao Hei asked.

"The Underworld belongs to the Yan Emperor. Now that he has returned, no one can plot against the Underworld. So, they must be plotting against us. The only ones who could plot against us are the Yan Emperor and the Yan Empress," Lao Bai said.

The others looked at each other. If others plotted against them, it would be fine. But if this ruthless couple plotted against them, they would likely have to swallow their grievances.

Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan only briefly mentioned this. Detailed arrangements would require planning later. For now, they were just talking. The most important thing now was to visit Zhu Shun Yao and the others.

Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan arrived at Zhu Shun Yao’s residence. They saw Zhu Shun Yao and Xie Xinlian. Besides cultivating, they had opened an Underworld agricultural products store. The goods were grown by Zhu Shun Yao, while Cheng Baokun managed the store. Zhu Shun Yao continued to find land to grow various agricultural products suitable for Yin souls. Xie Xinlian ran a home sewing shop, taking orders for clothes when customers came.

"Dad, Mom," Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan said, holding Mengbao as they approached.

Zhu Shun Yao and Xie Xinlian were surprised to see Zhu Yanyi. Xie Xinlian looked at Mengbao in Yan Aohan’s arms. "Is this your child?"

"Yes. Her formal name is Yan Xizhong, and her nickname is Mengbao," Zhu Yanyi lied effortlessly. She then held Mengbao out to Xie Xinlian. "Come here, Mengbao. Smile at Grandma."

Mengbao showed a toothless smile to Xie Xinlian, making her very happy. Xie Xinlian took Mengbao directly. "This child is good. She looks fair and clean, but she resembles you more."

Indeed, perhaps because Mengbao had spent more time with Zhu Yanyi, her appearance was four or five parts similar to hers. As for Yan Aohan, she only resembled her eyes. This was likely due to their time together. Of course, this was also because she was a natural spiritual body. Whoever a natural spiritual body was close to, she would resemble. Regarding her appearance, no one would suspect Mengbao was not Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan’s child.

"How do you have time to come?" Zhu Shun Yao stepped aside, letting them into the house.

Zhu Yanyi smiled. "It’s been a long time since we returned, so we came to visit. Dad, Mom, how is life in the Underworld? Is it okay?"

"It’s very good. Now in the Underworld, we have returned to our youngest and most vigorous state. How could our lives not be good?" Zhu Shun Yao said with a full smile.
