Chapter 2492

Zhu Yanyi continued, "We have already turned Xingzhi into our mole within the Evil Buddha Realm. For now, we need not worry about them. We must shift our focus to other priorities."

After speaking, Zhu Yanyi looked at Yan Aohan. Indeed, they could not enter the Evil Buddha Realm yet. Primarily, Zhu Yanyi’s cultivation was not yet strong enough to clash directly with the Evil Buddha.

Since the Evil Buddha had created that realm, she possessed considerable power. Compared to Zhu Yanyi’s current abilities, her strength was still superior. Therefore, neither Yan Aohan nor Zhu Yanyi wished to confront the Evil Buddha at this time.

However, time would pass, and a confrontation was inevitable.

The creation of artificial souls was a massive undertaking. Fortunately, this practice had largely become impossible within the Underworld.

The reason was simple. Upon the establishment of the Underworld, all genuine souls had to be reviewed and approved by the City God before entering for further assessment. Every soul approved by the City God received a Guide Letter. Artificial souls lacked this Guide Letter. Souls without a Guide Letter were considered undocumented and were naturally forbidden from entering the Underworld. Consequently, they could only wander in the mortal realm. Over time, they would dissipate into nothingness.

The Evil Buddha likely never anticipated this. Recently, the creation of artificial souls had decreased significantly. The Evil Buddha had probably realized that the souls he created could no longer enter the Underworld. Thus, creating more was futile.

At least, that plan had stopped.

Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi finished processing their documents. Seeing that King Qinguang had not yet returned, they decided to visit Mengbao first.

Mengbao was currently raised by Zhu Shun Yao and Xie Xinlian. He was now ten years old.

Upon seeing Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi, Mengbao’s eyes lit up. She ran to them, calling out, "Dad, Mom." Then she threw herself into Zhu Yanyi’s arms. "Mom, I missed you."

"We know you missed us, which is why we came to see you," Zhu Yanyi said, gently pinching Mengbao’s nose. She liked this child very much.

Yan Aohan stepped forward and lifted Mengbao up. "This young man is quite heavy now."

"Of course," Mengbao said proudly. "I have worked very hard these years." His tone sounded surprisingly mature, as if implying he hadn’t worked hard before.

Zhu Yanyi suppressed a smile. Yan Aohan looked at Mengbao with slight helplessness. "Alright, we know you’ve worked hard. But son, remember your mother is pregnant, so you cannot jump on her."

"Am I going to have a little brother?" Mengbao asked happily, looking at Zhu Yanyi’s belly.

"It’s still early. She is sleeping in Mom’s tummy. Besides, it might not be a brother; it could be a sister," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile, stroking Mengbao’s head.

"I like both brothers and sisters," Mengbao said joyfully.

Xie Xinlian smiled warmly. "Come in quickly. You are pregnant and should be resting."

Entering the room, Zhu Yanyi observed the surroundings. It had been ten years, and the room seemed even more cluttered. She noticed the logo of the Azure Sovereign Group nearby.

"The Azure Sovereign Group logo," Zhu Yanyi said, picking it up with a sigh of emotion.

"Yes. Your father has established an Azure Sovereign Group in the Underworld, working with your godfather," Xie Xinlian explained with a smile. "Your father-in-law is also involved."

Zhu Yanyi was surprised. "Establishing the Azure Sovereign Group in the Underworld? That is a unique idea." Curious, she asked, "What does she do?"

"What else? The old routine. Crops. After all, residents of the Underworld need to eat," Xie Xinlian said with a laugh. "I found that being a resident of the Underworld isn’t so different. Except for not dying or aging, our stomachs still get hungry. So, we still need to eat."

Hearing this, Zhu Yanyi laughed. "That’s good. This way, Father won’t feel bored."

"Of course not. He has even applied to open a vegetable supermarket," Xie Xinlian said cheerfully. "You wouldn’t expect him to open a supermarket so quickly, would you?"

"Father hasn’t had enough of being the boss of the Azure Sovereign Group in the mortal realm, so she wants to be a boss here too, right?" Zhu Yanyi thought for a moment and chuckled.

"But this is good. Everyone doesn’t have to worry about having nothing to do. Father is responsible for production, your godfather for management and business expansion, and your father-in-law for training security guards. You wouldn’t believe it, but they have become an iron triangle," Xie Xinlian said with a smile.

Yan Aohan, listening nearby, said, "As long as Father is happy. If there are any issues, they will contact me, and I will come over."

Xie Xinlian replied, "What issues could there be? Although we haven’t disclosed our relationship with you two, Xiao Zhan visits often, and Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai occasionally come to see us. The residents here only seek to befriend us secretly. They never think of causing trouble. For example, when your father applied for this license, it was approved quickly."

"Approval was inevitable. The Underworld needs to develop comprehensively. As the population grows, development will accelerate," Yan Aohan said. "I was even thinking of having Father establish a logistics and courier company."

"Establishing a courier company in the Underworld? Only you could think of that," Zhu Yanyi said, looking at Yan Aohan with disbelief.

Yan Aohan said seriously, "Why is that unbelievable? It is very normal. The Underworld is vast. Having a courier service is convenient for everyone. Currently, many items sent from the mortal realm require Lao Hei and Lao Bai to assign people to handle them. If Father can establish this courier company, I plan to have him handle all items sent from the mortal realm."

Yan Aohan paused and asked, "What do you think of this suggestion?"

"It’s quite good," Zhu Yanyi nodded. "Items sent from the mortal realm need to reach the residents. Having specific people deliver them is a very good thing."

Seeing that Zhu Yanyi did not object, Yan Aohan slapped her thigh. "In that case, it is decided. I will proceed with this method."

Just then, Zhu Shun Yao and Yan Xicheng entered. Seeing the couple, they were both surprised, then their faces lit up with joy. Zhu Shun Yao asked, "When did you return?"

"We returned a few days ago. We have been busy handling external matters, so we did not come to visit. Today, we finished our tasks, so we came to see you."
