Yan Ao’an spoke softly, “Because of you. You are in my heart. If I cannot take you with me, what is the point of becoming the Supreme Venerable God alone? It would be better to remain a mortal.”
Hearing Yan Ao’an’s charming words, Zhu Yanyi’s face flushed slightly. “I suddenly feel I am very charming. I can actually make a dignified Venerable Yanluo stay away from the Chaos Abyss for me.”
“I will wait for you. After you become a True God, come with me,” Yan Ao’an said with a smile. “In the future, you will achieve the title of Peerless Medical Emperor, and I will become the true Supreme Yan Emperor.”
“Why am I ‘Peerless’ and you are ‘Supreme’?” Zhu Yanyi remained very curious. “Is there a difference?”
“No. ‘Supreme’ and ‘Peerless’ are actually the same. ‘Supreme’ is the title for the First Emperor Venerable. For example, the current Supreme Black Emperor. No one can surpass him in any way. He controls all things in the heaven, earth, and universe. But this applies to the Yang world. The Yin spirits have their own rules. They need a true Supreme Yan Emperor. So, if I do not enter the Chaos Abyss, once I enter and come out, I must be the Supreme Yan Emperor, the Lord of Yin Spirits.”
“Oh, I see.” Zhu Yanyi understood a little.
Zhu Yanyi understood a bit, but only a bit. Many things were still unclear. However, Zhu Yanyi knew one thing: she had not yet entered that world. Only by entering that world could she understand everything. Zhu Yanyi looked at the man in front of her. She did not know why she had chosen her, or why she had given her the Purple Gold Red String. But these no longer mattered. As long as this man’s heart was true, other motives did not matter at all.
“Wife, keep going. I will wait for you from afar,” Yan Ao’an said with a smile.
“Is it okay for you to leave the Underworld for so long?” Zhu Yanyi asked.
“It is fine for now,” Yan Ao’an said. “I have the Earth Book. Also, Old Pan, the Judge, often comes to report on the Underworld’s situation. Plus, the Ten Great Yan Kings handle daily work. So I am not worried. However, when you go to the Sage Academy, I may need to return to the Underworld for a while. There is indeed a lot of accumulated official business over the years.”
Since she had already let Zhu Yanyi know her identity, Yan Ao’an did not plan to hide anything else. Therefore, she needed to explain things clearly to Zhu Yanyi.
After listening, Zhu Yanyi understood. Yan Ao’an was not leaving now because she could not bear to part with her. Once she entered the Sage Academy to study, she would surely not be able to enter. Then she would return to the Underworld to handle official business. Zhu Yanyi looked at Yan Ao’an and reached out to touch her face. “I really don’t understand. What charm do I have that makes a dignified True God like you do this for me?”
“Love arises naturally. Who can control such things?” Yan Ao’an looked at Zhu Yanyi, her eyes full of smiles. “As long as you are well, I feel no hardship is too much.”
These words seemed to hint at something else. Zhu Yanyi wanted to ask, but Yan Ao’an had an expression that said, “Even if you ask, I will not answer.” “Are there some things you cannot tell me?”
Worried Zhu Yanyi might misunderstand, she immediately said, “Those things do not need to be told to you. When you reach a certain stage, you will know. If I tell you now, it might affect your state of mind.” Yan Ao’an pulled Zhu Yanyi into her embrace. She had only one hope: that she would be safe and stable. She did not want to think about other things.
Hearing Yan Ao’an’s words, Zhu Yanyi stopped worrying about what else there might be. She just smiled and said, “Okay. Anyway, I will know one day.”
“Mm.” Yan Ao’an answered softly. Then he said, “Wife, are you really not afraid?”
“Afraid of what? Afraid of you?” Zhu Yanyi looked Yan Ao’an up and down. “What is there to be afraid of? I don’t find you scary at all. But I think the people here are very afraid of you. The Capital Yanluo.”
(⊙o⊙)… Could the title of Capital Yanluo compare to Venerable Yanluo? Yan Ao’an saw Zhu Yanyi’s proud expression. She seemed not afraid at all, but rather thought this was good. Well, the wife’s thoughts were the most important. As long as the wife was not afraid, Yan Ao’an’s mood instantly improved a lot.
It seemed some of his worries were unnecessary. “I originally thought you would be afraid. So I kept thinking about how you would treat me after knowing my identity.”
“If your identity changes, do you not like me anymore?” Zhu Yanyi blinked her eyes.
“How could that be?” Yan Ao’an felt this idea was absolutely absurd.
“If your identity changes, do you want to get rid of me?”
“I cherish you enough. How could I want to get rid of you?”
“If your identity changes, do you look down on me?”
“Absolutely not.”
“Since none of that is possible, what are you worried about?” Zhu Yanyi glanced at the man who worried unnecessarily. “Now that you know my identity, my only feeling is that the pressure is heavier. My only thought is that I must not hold you back. And…” Zhu Yanyi seemed to think of something. “We are bound by the Purple Gold Red String. What if I do not cultivate well enough and die? What will you do?”
“I will follow you into reincarnation. Then I will find you, guide you, and help you cultivate,” Yan Ao’an said directly.
“See? I was worried about holding you back. If I do not cultivate well and pull a True God like you into the human world, it would be a sin. The Underworld would also be in chaos. Then my sin would be even greater.” Zhu Yanyi patted her cheek. “It seems I need to work harder.”
Yan Ao’an seemed to hear something and was slightly stunned. “You said you do not want to drag me down? You do not want to be the one holding me back? You do not want to pull me into the human world and cause chaos in the Underworld?”
“Yes. Is there anything wrong with that?” Zhu Yanyi could not understand why Yan Ao’an suddenly asked this.
Yan Ao’an suddenly laughed. “So that’s it. I understand now.” Then she gave Zhu Yanyi a big kiss. “Wife, it is really good to be by your side. Many things I could not understand before are now clear.”
(⊙o⊙)… Zhu Yanyi felt she must have met a fake Yanluo. She was not serious at all.
Yan Ao’an naturally saw Zhu Yanyi’s expression. She did not explain further. As long as she understood in her heart, it was fine.
After telling Zhu Yanyi her identity, Yan Ao’an also felt much lighter in her heart.
“Regardless, you are still Yan Lao Si. You are still part of the Yan family. Tomorrow, we must still go to visit Mom and Dad,” Zhu Yanyi said directly. She could not let the fact that she was not the real Yan Lao Si erase the matter.
