Seeing the sudden appearance of the Underworld Lord, Chu Qinghuang raised her eyebrows slightly. Compared to their first meeting when he wore black brocade robes, this time he was dressed in light cloud-colored ones. The black robes had given him a steady, mysterious, and somewhat majestic aura, but this light cloud-colored attire, paired with the folding fan in his hand, made him appear much more approachable. He looked like an exceptionally graceful and noble young gentleman, bringing to mind the verse: "A peerless gentleman of our age, like jade upon the open road."
Chu Qinghuang eyed the smiling Underworld Lord with guarded vigilance. Remembering how he had rescued them at Black Mountain the other day, Situ Xue nodded at him very amicably. Besides, since she would be living here from now on, getting on familiar terms with the Underworld Lord was by no means a bad thing.
Seeing Situ Xue smile at him, the Underworld Lord instantly blossomed like a peacock displaying its tail. He walked straight into the pavilion and sat down opposite Chu Qinghuang and Situ Xue. Watching this inexplicable behavior, Chu Qinghuang felt alarm bells ringing in her heart. Especially when she saw the Underworld Lord showering Situ Xue with gratuitous, beaming smiles, she felt as though she had stumbled onto something significant.
