Han Ya told everything about himself, their relationship, and about this world itself to his lover, An Yuan. He chooses to stop hiding everything and confesses whatever he is hiding to An Yuan.

As expected, things didn’t go well as what Han Ya already knew in his mind. An Yuan, his beloved, had listened to every word he had said and yet remained silent all this time. There wasn’t even a single reaction coming from him and this made Han Ya feel uneasy.

Han Ya said, “That’s everything. A’Yuan you have a decision whether to stay with me or return to your real world. With my standing right now, I can bring you back home.”

After a long silence as if he had finally sobered, An Yuan spoke, “I… I don’t want to go back to my world anymore.”

His reply stunned Han Ya, “What!? What do you mean you won’t go back?” asked his lover.

An Yuan responded, “I want to stay with you, Xiao Ya. If you can return with me to my world then I don’t mind returning but if you wish for me to return alone then… I don’t want to. I want to stay by your side. Even if we stay here in the Abyssal World or go beyond this world, as you are by my side, anywhere is fine.”

While not hearing a reply from his lover, An Yuan turned around only to see Han Ya’s eyes turning red as if holding back his tears. Seeing this he couldn’t help but place his hands on Han Ya’s cheeks and give him a kiss on his eyes. Kissing away his man’s tears.

An Yuan’s mellow and gentle words echo near Han Ya’s ears. At first, he couldn’t believe his words until he saw his beloved smiling at him with the same red eyes as his yet looking more beautiful than before.

“Listen, Xiao Ya. I do not care if you are a human, an abyssal monster, or even a God. As long as you are willing to accept me and stay by my side and love only me, that is enough.” said An Yuan.

Upon hearing these words, the former undead shed his tears like a human for the first time. He hugs his beloved within his embrace as if this person was the sole light in his life. The reason for his being and why he had existed all this time. An Yuan who was used to living his life alone as he lost his family at a young age and had to live a monotonous life smiled from the bottom of his heart.

This couple who finally opened each other’s hearts shared all their secrets even completing the life and death contract between the two of them. They shared a long night telling each other what they had experienced before they met and everything they planned to do for their future.

On the other hand, Ye Xiajie had carried his covered wine scent wife to the bathroom. The tub inside was customized to look more like a small pond. Hei Anjing was napping as he leaned on his husband’s chest while the latter had just finished washing their hair.

Hei Anjing slowly opened his eyes and met a steamy sight before him only when the large arms wrapped around his waist that he realized that his husband had brought him to take a bath. It was their routine to take a hot bath before going to sleep.

“A’Xia?” calls Hei Anjing as soon as he wakes up.

Ye Xiajie kissed his wife’s neck and replied with a hoarse voice, “Um, you’re awake. Baby, don’t you hate drinking liquors and alcohol?”

“I was thinking something and drank a bit too much,” replied Hei Anjing as he rubs his face on his husband’s solid chest like a spoiled little kitten.

Ye Xiajie knows the reason for his wife’s sudden changes in mood.

“Is it because of that old bastard? Baby, don’t worry. I will kill him this time.” said Ye Xiajie.

Hei Anjing unexpectedly shook his head which stunned Ye Xiajie for a bit.

“Why, Baby? Is it because he is family? Baby that kind of bastard that sold even his own grandson to the enemies is not a being you can consider as a family!” said Ye Xiajie.

Hei Anjing didn’t respond right away as if thinking about how he should explain things to his angry husband.

“I never treated that man as family. Especially since he is one of the few people at that time that caused you to lose your life. I will never forgive him.” said Hei Anjing.

Ye Xiajie said, “Let’s just kill him.”

“No. It is better to capture him. I’m sure he knew where your father was hiding. They used to be great partners after all and few gods are considered friends with Ye Mo.” said Hei Anjing.

With disdain imprinted on his handsome face, Ye Xiajie commented. “Friends? I don’t think so. The only reason that old bastard saved that annoying father of mine is that grandfather asks him to save him. That’s all.”

While sneering, Hei Anjing said, “Heh~ to think they can escape despite losing a few of their limbs. Doesn’t that mean they wouldn’t die so easily~”

Cough! Ye Xiajie averted his eyes as he remembered that one time in the Supernatural World when his wife met a destroyer for the first time in his world-hopping journey in the Nether System. The details System Yue had shared and even the recording he had accidentally taken that time was still fresh in his mind.

He watched as his wife broke that man’s bones one by one. Tear his muscles like paper, destroy his meridians one at a time as well as rip apart his soul afterward. The destroyer was deader than dead. The way he tortures someone is even eviler than what Lou Wuye, a warden of Netherworld could have done.

Hei Anjing didn’t notice his husband’s awkward moment and said, “But I can’t kill him myself or Father would be sad even if he says he doesn’t care about that old man, they are still related by blood. Dad always told me to be a bit merciful towards father’s direct blood family members.”

“Hm~ if you want to kill him, I will do it for you~,” said Ye Xiajie. ｎ𝚘𝚟ｌ.ｃｏ𝚖

Hei Anjing said, “No need. Let’s leave him half dead and then give him to Jue-ge.”

Ye Xiajie said, “That’s okay with me. How about tomorrow? Do you still want to play in the Colosseum?”

“Hm~ Actually when I saw the old man I totally lost interest in the game tomorrow. But I made a promise to bring back a few people…” mumbles Hei Anjing as he plays with his husband’s fingers.

Ye Xiajie spoke, “You can leave it to Han Ya. I’ve given him the throne of this world to him. He should be able to bring those guys back anytime. We can only have Warden Lou and his prisoner look after them. You’ve already removed the restriction on them in this world.”

“Oh, you’re right. Then let’s go meet them tomorrow before we leave. For now, husband~~ shall we continue what we are doing in the pool?~” said Hei Anjing as he wrapped his arms around Ye Xiajie’s neck while having a playful smile on his lips.

Ye Xiajie happily accepted his wife’s eagerness. The married couple enjoyed a long blissful evening contrasting to the Hell the other beings in this world had experienced.

—

At the first blush of morning, everyone including the members of the allied group had gathered for breakfast. The meal for the day was made by Hei Anjing and his husband, Ye Xiajie. Upon witnessing the married couple cooking in the kitchen together, not only did Lan She and Chu Mo feel weird even Zane, An Yuan, and Han Ya noticed things aren’t right

While peeking into the kitchen from the door of the area, the five of them lean in the open door to look.

Chu Mo spoke, “This is weird. They are cooking together. Are we going to die soon?”

“Is that our last supper!?” said Zane.

Han Ya said, “Shut up! Don’t be rude, Zane.”

“Come on~ don’t fight you two,” said An Yuan.

Everyone noticed the cloud-like mark pattern that spreads all over An Yuan’s neck. It wasn’t the same as his former mark before which can only be seen on the nape. This time the cloud marking encircles An Yuan’s neck like a necklace like the one on Lan She.

Chu Mo whistled with a frisky expression on his face. He was obviously teasing this young couple for finally reaching another level in their relationship. To leave such a clear marking on one’s lover, one would have to sign a life and death contract together, and to do so they must be intimate with one another. The kind of intimacy in bed.

“Way to go, Han Han!” said Chu Mo.

Zane also followed up by teasing his friend, “Finally! These two reach the third base of their relationship.”

Even the usually calm and serious Lan She joined the fun and said, “Congratulations, An An. Should we ask the boss to make some red bean rice?”

The young couple was teased until both their faces were as red as apples. They both look like teenagers who just got into a relationship for the first time.

An Yuan covered his face with both his hands and said with a whimpering tone, “Wu~ don’t tease us, please~”

Han Ya on the other hand joyously hugged An Yuan from behind there’s a dazzling smile on his good-looking face.

“Thank you~,” he said to his teammates. Han Ya didn’t deny all their teasing and instead proudly accepted their congratulations. He was actually very delighted with such an occurrence.

While the team was still teasing the young couple, they finally heard a voice summoning them to the kitchen.

It was Hei Anjing’s voice. “If you guys are done playing go bring out the plates and the dishes to the dining table. Go invite the guys next door as well.”

“Yes sir!”

After the meal, Hei Anjing and Ye Xiajie suddenly told everyone that they wouldn’t be joining them in the Colosseum. Everyone was rendered speechless, especially Qi Yun and his team. They eventually signed a contract for the alliance to this event. As expected the faces of their allies were a bit dark after Hei Anjing finished speaking.

Qi Yun said, “Sir, what do you mean by this?”

“Well~ My husband had an emergency event to do. So we wouldn’t be joining you guys at the colosseum,” answered Hei Anjing with his usual smile. He is ignoring the ugly expression on Qi Yun and the other two.

“You lied to us!!” said Qi Lanyu as she glared at Hei Anjing.

She wanted to grab Hei Anjing’s collar but was pulled to stop by her lover, Yu Suya who had seen the coldness and killing intent on Ye Xiajie’s monochromatic eyes.

Yu Suya whispered to her lover, “Calm down, Yu’er. If you want to say something, say it in words. Or else we harm him neither of us three would be able to leave this room alive.”

Her voice was calm yet her expression was glacial as she stared at the male couple before them. She is obviously upset like the rest of her team.

The atmosphere in the room turned inhospitable and strained. Aside from Ye Xiajie who only cares for his wife, his wife Hei Anjing who never cares for the others except for his other half, Lan She and Chu Mo who are used to Lord Hei’s temperamental moments, the rest are nervous and upset.

Qi Yun spoke, “Why are you doing this? Are you breaking the contract, Sir?”

“No. I am not breaking the contract. But We do need to leave. So I will fulfill half of the contract right now and bestow something on you guys to keep you alive. After saving your lover and finding Zane’s mate, it would be fulfilled with the help of Lan She and Chu Mo.” said Hei Anjing.

Qi Yun and his team were confused by Hei Anjing’s words. From the other side, only Zane couldn’t understand what his words meant. While An Yuan and Han Ya looked astounded at this very moment, they knew the real identity of the man in front of them.

After completing the contract of life and death between An Yuan and Han Ya, An Yuan received the privilege of seeing the same information as Han Ya could see. At the same time, the Ego of the Abyssal World had accepted An Yuan as his other lord.

The information of Hei Anjing shows as:
