Xue Fanxin was not the kind of woman who had never seen a storm, so she was very calm from the beginning to the end. She said in a normal tone, “Something this small can’t scare me.”
In the eyes of the people of the Nine Nether Holy Land, such a normal tone was disrespectful to the Nine Nether King.
With the Nine Nether King’s temper, no matter how much he liked this woman, he probably wouldn’t allow her to be so impudent, right?
Just as everyone thought that the Nine Nether King would be angry, he smiled dotingly and said, “Yes, yes, yes. Such a small matter can’t scare my Xin’er.”
“Do you really think I don’t know what that woman was thinking just now? She’s similar to people like Su Baifeng and Yu Yuefu. It seems that my Ah Jiu is really popular. I’ll have many love rivals in the future.”
“There’s no need to worry. If one comes, I’ll deal with one, if two comes, I deal with both of them. I definitely won’t let them trouble you.”
“You said it.”
“Yes, I did.”
He was not just saying this. It was a promise to Xin’er. No matter what, he would not let those women harass Xin’er. He would destroy anyone who was so blind.
“Don’t be so serious! Relax and maintain a smile, lest you scare the others silly.” Xue Fanxin stood on her tiptoes and used her hand to tug at Ye Jiushang’s beautiful face, hoping to pull out a smile.
Ye Jiushang also reached out and pinched Xue Fanxin’s face with a smile. “As long as I didn’t scare you silly.”
Everyone present was really scared silly. All of them were dumbfounded as they looked at the scene in front of them. Some of them even rubbed their eyes hard to see if they were dreaming or seeing things.
However, all of this was the truth. It could not be more true.
It turned out that even the Nine Nether King could smile and have such a gentle side.
However, the Nine Nether King’s smile and gentleness seemed to be only for one person.
Ye Jiushang ignored the others and held Xue Fanxin’s hand as they continued walking. As they walked, he said, “This is the Holy Palace of the Nine Nether Holy Land. This is where I used to live. From now on, you are the mistress of this place. You can enter and leave as you please.”
“Ah Jiu, shouldn’t you give some introductions first?” Xue Fanxin looked at the people behind her and felt that she should greet them. After all, this was their first time meeting, so she could not be so rude.
“I’ll introduce you later,” Ye Jiushang said gently. Then, he changed his tone and attitude and said coldly to the people following behind them, “Wait in the Nether Garden. I’ll come over later. Get Qianshi to prepare some of his best delicacies.”
“Yes, sir.”
No matter how curious the people following behind were about Xue Fanxin, they had to listen to the orders and retreat. They waited in the Nether Garden and gossiped non-stop.
“Where do you think the Nether King has been for the past 200 years? Why do I feel like this time he’s come back he’s like a different person? Do you think he’s a fake Nether King?”
“Nonsense. You can suspect that any one of us is a fake, but you can’t suspect the Nether King. Can you pretend to be a King of the Holy Region just because you want to? Besides, the Nether King is a regional king appointed by the Master god. He has the god’s blessing. Who can pretend to be him?”
“You’re right. But the Nether King’s attitude towards that woman is really…”
“That’s enough. Don’t talk about the Nether King in private. Be careful not to end up like Duanmu Cun. This is the Nether King’s private matter. It’s not something we can interfere with.”
It was the Nether King’s freedom and right to treat whoever he liked well. As subordinates, they had no right to ask.
