Chapter 2884

"Have I ever told you that my brother-in-law is the Venerable Yanluo of the Underworld, and my sister is the Yanluo Empress, the only Medical Emperor of the Divine Realm?"

Zhang Weixi stared, her eyes wide. She tugged hard at her ear, thinking she had misheard.

What was happening? Her nominal husband was the Venerable Yanluo’s brother-in-law? Her sister-in-law was the Yanluo Empress and the sole Medical Emperor? This plot twist was too shocking.

Zhu Zhibin glanced at Zhang Weixi. Seeing the confusion in her eyes, he sighed gently. "Actually, I am not as powerful as my sister and brother-in-law. So, there is no need to be so shocked. Whether they are the Yanluo Emperor or the Medical Emperor, aside from being my family, they are just ordinary people to me."

Zhang Weixi understood. It was simple: Zhu Zhibin was just Zhu Zhibin. If he had no ability himself, his powerful backing meant little to him personally.

She nodded slightly, indicating she understood.

"I will take you to meet my sister and brother-in-law first. Only then can we find your parents," Zhu Zhibin said.

"Okay." Zhang Weixi did not know how to navigate this place, so she naturally followed Zhu Zhibin.

Zhu Zhibin led Zhang Weixi skillfully to the Medicine Garden. Sure enough, they saw Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi planting herbs together.

"Sister, Brother-in-law," Zhu Zhibin called out, bringing Zhang Weixi forward.

Zhu Yanyi turned around. Seeing Zhu Zhibin, she smiled. "It is rare for you to visit the Underworld."

"I brought my wife to meet you. I also want to ask for your help," Zhu Zhibin said. He pulled Zhang Weixi to stand before Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan. "Sister, Brother-in-law, this is my wife, Zhang Weixi."

She then turned to Zhang Weixi. "Wife, these are my sister and brother-in-law."

"Sister, Brother-in-law," Zhang Weixi greeted them first.

"Weixi, is it? Since it is our first meeting, I have nothing special to give. Please accept this as a gift," Zhu Yanyi said. She handed a small bottle to Zhang Weixi. "I see you are at the Foundation Establishment stage. This bottle contains Spirit Liquid. Take one drop at a time. Wait until it is fully absorbed before taking the next. Once you finish this bottle, your cultivation should reach the Nascent Soul stage. I will give you other things then."

"Thank you, Sister." Zhang Weixi knew Zhu Yanyi was the Medical Emperor. As the leader of all medical gods, she naturally possessed many treasures.

Yan Aohan took out a storage ring and handed it to Zhang Weixi. "This is a storage ring I forged while bored. Take it as a meeting gift. I also wish you two happiness."

"Thank you, Brother-in-law." Zhang Weixi accepted the ring.

Zhu Zhibin noticed Zhang Weixi looked uneasy despite accepting the gifts. He stepped in to ease the tension. "Wife, do not feel nervous about accepting these gifts. My sister and brother-in-law have many treasures. These items are nothing to them."

"You learned nothing else from your trip except how to talk big," Zhu Yanyi said, glancing at Zhu Zhibin with a teasing look.

Zhu Zhibin chuckled. "By the way, Brother-in-law, we came to the Underworld for two reasons. First, to introduce my wife to you and our parents. Second, I want my wife to see her parents and brother one last time."

Yan Aohan looked at Zhang Weixi, did a quick calculation, and nodded. "Go find Xi Zhong. I have already sent him a message. He will have someone bring your parents and brother’s souls here."

"Aren't you going back to the Yanluo Palace?" Zhu Zhibin asked, satisfied with the result but still curious.

"We will not go back. By the way, when you and your wife are ready to leave the Underworld, come see me once more. I have something for you," Zhu Yanyi said. "Actually, it is for my sister-in-law. I prepared it for her years ago."

"Okay." Zhu Zhibin agreed. He then led Zhang Weixi toward the Yanluo Palace.

Seeing the palace floating in the sky, Zhang Weixi asked curiously, "Why don't Sister and Brother-in-law live in the Yanluo Palace?"

"They do live there. They just like to be hands-off managers," Zhu Zhibin laughed. "With my nephew handling things in the palace, they do not need to manage anything."

As they entered the Yanluo Palace, Yan Xizhong came out to greet them. "Little Uncle, is this Little Aunt?"

"Yes, this is your Little Aunt," Zhu Zhibin nodded with a smile. "By the way, did you find the people I asked for?"

Yan Xizhong nodded. "Uncle Hei has already brought them. Let me take you there."

Yan Xizhong waved his hand. Zhang Weixi and Zhu Zhibin found themselves in a separate room.

"Souls cannot enter the Yanluo Palace. This is the Soul Meeting Room of the Underworld. You can see them here," Yan Xizhong explained. He stepped aside and shouted toward a crystal, "Uncle Hei, bring the souls in."

Old Hei entered, leading the souls of two men and one woman. They were Zhang Weixi’s parents and brother.

Originally, when Zhang Weixi’s father, mother, and brother, Zhang Weirong, were brought here, they felt anxious. They did not know what had happened or if they had committed any crimes. However, since they were in the Underworld, they naturally obeyed the arrangements. Even though they came from the Cultivation Realm, they had no special privileges here.

"Father, Mother, Brother," Zhang Weixi said, tears in her eyes, her face full of joy.

Zhang Weixi’s parents and Zhang Weirong were startled upon seeing her.

"Daughter, why are you here? Your brother said you escaped safely," Zhang Weixi’s mother said, examining her daughter closely.

Zhang Weixi hurriedly explained, "I am not dead. I came with my husband."

"Your husband?" Zhang Weixi’s mother paused, surprised.

"Your son-in-law, Zhu Zhibin, pays respects to Father-in-law and Mother-in-law. Your brother-in-law pays respects to Brother," Zhu Zhibin said politely.

"Good, good." Zhang Weixi’s parents nodded after looking at Zhu Zhibin.

Yan Xizhong said from the side, "Little Uncle, you and Little Aunt can reunite with her family first. Call me when you are done."

Yan Xizhong did not intend to disturb them.

"Okay," Zhu Zhibin nodded. "By the way, I will visit your Grandpa and Grandma later. Are they busy recently?"

"Little Uncle, you are the idlest person in this family. Grandpa and Grandma are busy. Grandpa is developing the Underworld express delivery service very quickly. Grandma is busy with her sewing shop. Uncle and Aunt are busy with their own things. Only you are idle, hiding in the Cultivation Realm and not coming back," Yan Xizhong said, snorting slightly.

Zhu Zhibin coughed. "Meng Bao, go back quickly."

"Little Uncle, I have not used that nickname for a long time," Yan Xizhong said, glaring at Zhu Zhibin with dissatisfaction before leaving.

Although Zhang Weixi’s parents did not know Yan Xizhong’s identity, they knew he was important because he could summon them. Since this important person called Zhu Zhibin "Uncle," Zhu Zhibin must be even more significant.

"Zhibin, do you mind if I call you that?" Zhang Weixi’s father asked.

"Father-in-law, please feel free to call me that," Zhu Zhibin said. "Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, Brother, please sit down. Xi Zhong will send some food and drink from the Underworld soon. You should eat a little."

"Do you know the Underworld messengers?" Zhang Weirong asked curiously.

Zhu Zhibin smiled. "The person just now, Yan Xizhong, is my nephew. His father is the Yanluo Emperor of this Underworld, and his mother is the Yanluo Empress."

"Then you are?" The relationship was shocking.

"The Yanluo Emperor is my brother-in-law, and the Yanluo Empress is my biological sister. We share the same parents," Zhu Zhibin explained. "I do not cultivate the soul energy of the Underworld, so I rarely come here. Usually, I wander around the Cultivation Realm, but occasionally I return to the Underworld to visit."

Saying he came to the Underworld to "visit" was something only Zhu Zhibin could say.

Zhang Weixi’s parents did not know what to say about Zhu Zhibin.

Zhu Zhibin continued, "Half a year ago, I was in the Cultivation Realm. I saw Weixi being chased and jumping off a cliff. I happened to pass by, so I saved her. We then became husband and wife. She wanted to see you, so since I had the connection, I brought her to the Underworld to meet you."

"Am I dreaming?" Zhang Weixi’s mother murmured. "My son-in-law is the Yanluo Emperor’s brother-in-law."

Before Zhu Zhibin could speak, there was a knock on the door. Old Hei entered, holding a tray. "Zhibin, the Young Master asked me to bring this. He said it will stabilize the souls of your relatives, ensuring a good future for them in reincarnation."

"Thank you for the trouble," Zhu Zhibin said, taking the tray and placing it on the table. Old Hei left after completing his task.

"Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, Brother, come and eat some fruit. These are Soul Fruits from the Underworld, researched by the Yanluo Empress. Eating them greatly strengthens the soul," Zhu Zhibin said.

She paused, then continued, "I do not know which plane you will be sent to in your next life. However, with strong souls, you will be geniuses in any plane. Even if you reincarnate into the Cultivation Realm, your innate talent will be developed from birth."

Zhang Weixi’s father looked at the fruit, which resembled a green plum. "These Soul Fruits are so powerful. Is it okay for us to eat them?"

"Of course it is. You are Weixi’s family," Zhu Zhibin said. "Actually, if your souls were originally stable, I could ask Xi Zhong to let you participate in the Underworld resident assessment. If you became residents of the Underworld, Weixi could see you in the future. However, I saw that your souls are not stable and are somewhat floating. This is clearly caused by great suffering before death."

"It is all my fault," Zhang Weixi sighed. "If it were not for me, Father, Mother, and Brother would not have died."

"What nonsense," Zhang Weixi’s father scolded gently. "It has nothing to do with you. In the Cultivation Realm, we believe in cause and effect. Who asked me to be from the Zhang family, from a concubine branch? Being worse than the side branches, it is normal to be harmed by the main branch."

Zhang Weixi’s mother also spoke up. "Yes, daughter, do not overthink it. The main branch treated us that way. In the end, they will bear the consequences of their actions."
