Chapter 3094

Yan Xizhong chuckled softly. "Wife, you’ve been hiding from me for so long. If I don’t hurry, I’m afraid you’ll vanish into some other plane before I know it."

Yun Meng laughed heartily. "Am I really that kind of person?"

Yan Xizhong nodded slightly. "I’ve always thought you were."

Yun Meng stuck her tongue out at her playfully. "Stop talking nonsense. I’m not like that." She added, "Besides, this red booklet only proves we’re husband and wife on this plane. It means nothing elsewhere."

Yan Xizhong replied, "I’ll stay here with you for twenty years. So don’t worry. This booklet is useful here. After twenty years, when we return to the Underworld, a wedding will already be prepared for us. We’ll marry immediately, so I won’t have to worry about you running away."

"I’m not some rare treasure for you to scheme over like this," Yun Meng said, half-laughing, half-sighing.

"Who said you aren’t a treasure? To me, you are absolutely my treasure," Yan Xizhong answered seriously.

Yun Meng felt shy from his direct words. "Alright, alright. I was just joking. Since we registered today, shouldn’t we celebrate?"

"Of course," Yan Xizhong smiled. "I’ve booked a private room at the Baihua Club. Just the two of us."

"Aren’t you afraid of wasting money?" Yun Meng teased.

"How can that be wasting money? To me, anything related to you is never a waste." Yan Xizhong gently took her small hand. "Come, let’s celebrate properly today. You are finally my wife."

Yun Meng smiled helplessly, but her heart was filled with joy and sweetness. No woman could help but be happy to find a man who treated her with such wholehearted devotion. Even if Yun Meng had been reserved before, all her restraint melted into deep affection now.

The couple celebrated in the private room at the Baihua Club, then returned home, where the night was naturally full of warmth and intimacy.

From the day they became true husband and wife, Yan Xizhong and Yun Meng’s relationship grew even closer. Yan Xizhong moved his computer to the flower shop on the first floor. Every day, Yun Meng arranged the flowers while Yan Xizhong worked on his computer. Occasionally, they would look up at the same time and share a glance.

Their days seemed peaceful, but they both knew this calm wouldn’t last long.

Indeed, the peace didn’t last. Yun Ling arrived, accompanied by First Soul.

Yan Xizhong wasn’t surprised to see them. Yun Meng noticed Yun Ling’s poor complexion but said nothing. She let them in, closed the shop door, and poured them two glasses of water. "Don’t worry. This water is safe for both humans and souls to drink."

"You knew we would come to find you," First Soul said, looking at Yan Xizhong.

She had been obsessed with past-life matters,执着ly finding Yun Ling’s reincarnation. She had used methods to make her fall in love with her, and they had become true husband and wife. This obsession was partly for revenge, partly for love. Yes, First Soul hadn’t expected to truly fall in love with Yun Ling.

This love led to Yun Ling becoming pregnant with her child. A child born from a human and a soul was even harder to survive than one from a human and a demon. Seeing Yun Ling grow weaker day by day, First Soul finally told her the truth.

When Yun Ling learned First Soul wasn’t human, she paused briefly, then asked, "Is your love for me real?"

"Real. If I didn’t love you, how could I bear to see you suffer?" First Soul didn’t deny his love. "But a soul-child cannot be born, because heaven and earth do not allow it."

Yun Ling had her own considerations. She loved First Soul and naturally loved the child in her womb. Knowing the child faced such a great tribulation before birth, she felt helpless and sad.

Then she remembered Yun Meng’s cultivation was higher than hers. Perhaps Yun Meng had a solution. So, she discussed it with First Soul and came to seek Yun Meng’s help.

First Soul didn’t see Yun Meng first; he saw Yan Xizhong. He recognized him immediately and knew that if the child was to be born safely, he could only ask Yan Xizhong for help.

Yan Xizhong said, "From the day you escaped the Underworld, I knew this would happen. Otherwise, do you think I wouldn’t have gone to catch you? You couldn’t enter reincarnation and remained a vengeful soul mostly because your past-life obsession was too deep."

"But without that obsession, without that persistence, I wouldn’t have found my wife," First Soul said earnestly.

Yan Xizhong replied, "To be honest, if this were a normal matter, I would have just taken you away and reclaimed the soul-child in your wife’s womb."

"No!" Yun Ling stepped in front of First Soul, looking at Yan Xizhong. "You cannot take him away."

Yan Xizhong sighed. "I would like to take him, but if I did, I’d have to consider my wife’s face, regardless of your feelings."

"Your wife?" Yun Ling was slightly stunned. She looked at Yun Meng, then at Yan Xizhong. "You two are married?"

Yan Xizhong smiled faintly, while Yun Meng said, "We registered a while ago."

"Aren’t you afraid the old mansion will hold you accountable?" Yun Ling asked.

"Sister, before you say that, look at yourself. I’m not an heir, so even if the old mansion has opinions about me, they’ll just give me some cold looks. But you’re different. You’re the heir of the Yun family. Now you’re involved in a human-soul romance with a vengeful soul. That’s the most serious issue, isn’t it?" Yun Meng said with a smile.

Yun Ling looked at Yun Meng helplessly. "Let’s not have the eldest sister mock the second sister. I haven’t told the family about my situation with First Soul since I left the Yun family. And I haven’t contacted them in months."

"That’s good," Yun Meng nodded slightly. "At least the old mansion doesn’t know the truth yet."

"Yun Meng, let’s not talk about that for now. I must protect First Soul, and I must protect my child. Do you have a solution?" Yun Ling asked directly.

Yun Meng said, "I don’t have a solution." She pointed at Yan Xizhong. "But she probably does."

Yan Xizhong looked at Yun Meng helplessly. "You’re selling me out for free."

"I can’t bear to sell you, but she is my sister," Yun Meng said seriously to Yan Xizhong.

Yan Xizhong sighed, then looked at First Soul. "As a vengeful soul, you should know the rules of the Underworld."
