Without a second thought, Situ Xue turned and headed straight for the Underworld. The Underworld Lord had long since instructed the guards at the gates of the Underworld that whenever Situ Xue arrived, she was to be admitted directly without needing to announce her presence. Consequently, the guards let her pass the moment she reached the entrance.
Situ Xue hurried all the way to the Qinyun Pavilion within the Demon Palace. Knowing that the Underworld Lord was most likely there, she reached the top of the pavilion and immediately spotted his personal guard. "Is the Lord inside?"
"He is, but the Lord is currently..." Before the guard could finish, Situ Xue pushed open the door and barged in. The guard hastily moved to stop her, but remembering that Situ Xue and the Underworld Lord had made no progress in all this time, he quietly pulled back his outstretched hand and lowered his warning tone. "Ah, Miss Situ, the Lord is... bathing."
