Chapter 2404

Becoming a resident of the Underworld meant little change in daily life, aside from the location. Thus, he held no particular thoughts on the matter.

Zhu Yanyi nodded with a smile. "Once the baby turns one year old, I will send her over. Please help raise her, Dad and Mom."

Xie Xinlian laughed. "That is wonderful. No problem at all. Just send her over when the time comes. We will have no objections."

For them, helping raise their granddaughter was a source of great joy.

"By the way, have you gone to see Xiao Xi Bei?" Xie Xinlian asked, concerned for him.

Zhu Yanyi shook her head slightly. "It is not suitable for us to visit Xiao Xi Bei now. We must wait until she passes away naturally. Then, we can guide her here."

Originally, the next generation could not be guided over. However, now that Yan Aohan had become the Venerable Yanluo, even Yan Xi Bei, as an adopted son, held a higher status due to her title. Therefore, she could come. Not only them, but even Yan Huajun and others could be guided over after death, depending on Yan Aohan’s will. If she wished, she would guide them; if not, she would not. Relatives from both Yan Aohan’s and Zhu Yanyi’s sides were eligible.

Xie Xinlian smiled after hearing this. "In the mortal world, death felt like a loss. But now, it feels different. Life and death seem to be the same thing."

Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. "Living is about experiencing life. Those who can detach from it can become residents of the Underworld. However, detaching from life is not easy now, so there are conditions for general residents."

Xie Xinlian understood this. They were fortunate to become residents because of Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi. Others likely lacked such ability, so she merely listened and accepted it.

Zhu Yanyi added, "By the way, Dad, I see you have started farming again."

"Indeed. The crops here differ slightly from those I grew when alive. I asked Old Zhang, and he said it is due to the different region. He has been studying Underworld plants recently. I grow what he studies, and your godparents sell them. You wouldn’t believe how well they sell. Our produce enhances soul power, and the price is fair."

Zhu Shunyao was accustomed to this life. The Underworld lacked the schemes and conspiracies of the mortal world, so he was very happy living here.

Seeing Yan Aohan so happy, Zhu Yanyi was also pleased. "Then we should try some."

Zhu Shunyao had no objections. Without a word, he took out the fruits he had grown from his home.

Zhu Yanyi picked a purple fruit. It looked like a small round eggplant, but clearly was not. The soul power inside seemed to flow.

Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan each took one and put it in their mouths. As Zhu Yanyi ate, she felt a cool sensation slowly enter her body and transport to her soul. Indeed, the purple fruit’s flavor could enhance soul power.

"Although the effect is not as good as Meng Po’s Soup, it does increase soul power. It is indeed good," Zhu Yanyi said, praising it.

Yan Aohan nodded. "If we mix the jam of this fruit with Meng Po’s Soup, do you think the effect would be stronger?"

Zhu Yanyi immediately took out a glass cup and a bottle of Meng Po’s Soup. She opened it, poured it into the cup, then took a purple fruit, squeezed its juice, and carefully poured it in. She stirred it, ensuring no adverse reaction occurred, then slowly drank it. Afterward, Zhu Yanyi smiled. "Soul power increases by ten percent."

"In that case, let us use it for Meng Po’s Soup," Yan Aohan said with a smile. "With this ten percent increase in soul power, it can at least develop one percent of the human right brain, significantly improving human intelligence."

Zhu Yanyi nodded with a smile. "However, being too smart is not necessarily a good thing."

Excessive intelligence could lead to vast ambitions. Zhu Yanyi worried about potential negative consequences.

Yan Aohan understood her meaning. "Then I will first have a special batch made. Those with karmic merit can drink this batch. Those without karmic merit will not."

People are not static. Different environments shape different hearts. Both good and evil people exist. A world cannot consist solely of good people. Even in the Immortal Realm, there is a distinction between good and evil. Therefore, Yan Aohan decided not to give this special Meng Po’s Soup to every soul.

Yan Aohan asked Zhu Shunyao for the purple fruits, a temporary name they had given them, and went to find Meng Po.

Zhu Yanyi did not go. Instead, she stayed at home to gather with everyone and eat.

Of course, the food in the Underworld had a distinct taste. However, with Qi Qiaoer and Xie Xinlian cooking, it was still very delicious.

When Yan Aohan returned, Zhu Yanyi was happily eating. Seeing this, she joined them for the meal.

This time, Grandpa Yan and Grandma Yan also attended.

Grandpa Yan and Grandma Yan lived in the unit next door, a fact Zhu Shunyao discovered when visiting neighbors. Since they lived close by, they often gathered.

After the gathering, Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi naturally returned to their Yanluo Hall.

Apart from normal staff, others did not enter or exit the Yanluo Hall.

When Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan returned, everything remained clean.

"The Underworld is quite friendly, and life here is not difficult. There is a distinction between day and night. Aside from the different world and plane, it is similar to normal life," Zhu Yanyi said, looking at the sunlight outside.

Indeed, the original Underworld was dark. But since the Venerable Yanluo returned to his position, the Underworld had developed day and night cycles.

"Do you think that with day and night changes, there will also be seasonal changes?" Zhu Yanyi asked.

Yan Aohan thought for a moment. "I believe so. The Underworld is a small world, similar to the normal mortal world. The only difference is the type of life forms residing here. Having day and night, and seasonal changes, is nothing surprising."
