The sky of the underworld had always been a dull gray.
No matter if it was day or night, you would never be able to see through the difference. Those who were used to seeing sunlight would always show their gratitude when they returned to the darkness. He wanted to occupy it, wanted it to warm his entire being.
To Serene Huang, Su Yuewu was his ray of sunshine, enough to warm his cold heart. You Huang returned to the underworld after the house was closed. Although the Celestial Emperor didn't keep his word and dared to touch Yue Wu without permission, the Underworld couldn't just leave without a master for a day. He had to return to this place no matter what.
As Fang walked into the inner hall, a wisp of tea wafted in.
You Huang's eyebrows relaxed slightly as she looked at the newcomer, "You knew I was coming back?"
"My lord, you must be joking. How can Red Silk not have the talent to predict future events?" "It was only when the lord returned that someone came to spread the news, and only then was Red Silk able to prepare a cup of tea for the lord." The one who spoke was a lady with a slim figure and a young age. She was dressed in a red cheongsam, but there was no fire on her face, it was just cold.
She walked forward and handed over the tea cup. She softly said, "Your excellency, you must be tired. Drink some tea and rest for a while."
You Huang accepted it with a smile and brought it close to her nose to take a sniff. It was a rich yet elegant fragrance of tea. This fragrant tea could only be fully developed with the help of the Red Silk. Lightly taking a sip, he tasted the refreshing fragrance of the tea at the base of his tongue. Even his throat was filled with the fragrance of the tea. Unknowingly, he drank a few more mouthfuls.
Seeing him act this way, Red Silk couldn't help but say, "Could it be that your excellency never offered tea outside. Drinking it like this really makes Red Silk's heart ache for this fragrant tea."
You Huang was startled as a trace of blush flashed across her face. Wherever there was someone who offered him tea, he would not be able to enjoy it even with Su Yuewu. The people around her were not servants to wait on others. He would never be able to touch a single ray of light unless he served her.
"That's right, your family's adults are really pitiful, they don't even have time to drink hot water outside!" His conduct and actions were quite different from what they usually saw; it was as if he was a funny child.
Red Silk didn't even bat an eyelid as he said faintly, "Sir, you must be joking again." It was the lord himself who came forward and did not care about face, how could he hope for others to give him face! Red Rivers still had work to do, so it was different for the adults to chat. "If sire feels bored, someone sent an octagonal bird the day before yesterday. Red Silk has already sent it into the palace." After she finished speaking, she curtsied slightly and walked out of the room.
You Huang started and subconsciously reached out and grabbed her arm.
"Is there anything else, my lord?" Red Silk frowned.
"I …" There was nothing wrong with him, he just subconsciously saw her leave the room.
"Sir, if there's nothing else, please let go of the Red Silk."
"I realize that you've never called me a servant before." You Huang suddenly said.
Hong Qi looked at him in surprise and then said, "My lord, you must have forgotten. "When you returned that day, you said that it was not comfortable to call me a servant. In the future, don't call yourself a servant when I'm a servant."
"Yeah, yeah …" Why didn't he remember? When he thought carefully, an impression suddenly appeared in his mind. That was after he met Su Yue Wu, she said that everyone should be equal, this servant came to find a servant, it was not comfortable listening to her. There should be a bit of respect for their servants. After all, they were living people, not some ignorant machines.
After he returned, he ordered the people in the hall not to call themselves servants or servants. When her thoughts traveled here, she smiled helplessly and said, "It's been so long that I've already forgotten."
Red Forest didn't think that it was the so-called 'one glance for ten thousand years'. He merely looked at the big hand on his arm and said indifferently, "Red Silk is going to work there." "If sire has orders, feel free to summon the Red Silk." As she spoke, she gently brushed aside Yinhuang's large hand and left.
You Huang held the teacup in one hand and kept her eyes on her other arm from beginning to end. Since when did Red Silk become so daring that he didn't even care about his identity?
Now that he thought about it, this had always been the case for Red Silk. Back then, he had also valued her unyielding nature, which was why he had placed her by his side. He could only blame the girl for rarely appearing in front of him and letting him forget about this misfortune.
She smiled and placed the teacup on a low stool before entering the inner hall to take a look at the so called octave bird.
The bird is indeed very intelligent. Just by saying a single sentence, it would be able to learn it. Furthermore, its voice sounds extremely similar to your own voice.
You Huang found the bird extremely interesting, so she kept chanting in front of it, "Yue Wu, Yue Wu …"
The bird also said, "Moon dance, moon dance …"
If his voice was not strange, it would be exactly the same as his voice!
If the Eight Tones Bird was brought to Yue Wu, she would probably be happier! With this thought in mind, You Huang took off the bird cage and hurried outside.
The servants in the hall were already used to You Huang not being in the hall often these days and knew that he was doing it for a woman. Many people in the Underworld were dissatisfied. They felt that his actions of leaving the Underworld for the sake of beauty was simply dereliction of duty. However, he'd always been willful and reckless and had never taken these things seriously.
"Milord, are you going out?"
A red shadow floated over and blocked Yinhuang's path.
When the surrounding servants saw this, they all carefully retreated, leaving the two of them with such a large space. He hoped that the Red Marks would be able to stop him. Otherwise, he would always go to the mortal world's woman and leave the Underworld behind. This would one day arouse the displeasure of the Great Elders.
The corners of You Huang's brows arched as she looked at the sudden appearance of the red ribbon. She said faintly, "What, can't I go out?"
"Your Excellency is the Lord of the Netherworld. Naturally, you can go anywhere."
"Then why did you stop me?" He smiled.
"Since you are the master of the Underworld, you must know your responsibilities for sitting here. An adult was no longer a child and could no longer rely on his temper to do things. "There are already many people in the Underworld who are dissatisfied with you because of your excellency's character. If one day the Underworld is in turmoil, what will you do about it?" Red Ferguson's eyes were calm. He didn't pay any attention to the outrageous words she said.
However, You Huang's expression suddenly grew cold. His tone was no longer calm, and there was a faint hint of anger in it. "Red Silk, are you teaching this Seat a lesson?!"
Red Silk was startled. He immediately knelt on the ground while holding the dress, then replied in a muffled voice, "Red Fertility doesn't dare." He was just worried that his lord would abandon the people of the underworld for the sake of a girl from the mortal world. They were worried that the Underworld would be bullied by the Heaven Realm if they lost their adults. Even if the adults weren't happy, Red Silk still had something to say. Your Excellency is the Lord of the Underworld, not alone in this world.
You Huang's fingers tightened around the birdcage as she stared at her coldly. "If that's the case, then what if I'm not the master of this underworld?"
"My lord!" Red Silk cried out involuntarily. Disbelief was written all over his eyes, and there were even some faint injuries. " For the sake of a girl from the mortal world, Master is willing to ignore the citizens of the Underworld? "
You Huang smiled coldly, "So what if I am?"
However, this time, the red hair did not do as he said. She stared at him for a while before slowly getting up, and her tone was cold as well, "If sire really does that, it will only make the red hair look down on you! Some people view beauty more important than mountains and rivers, it is my Underworld's regret. As for that woman, she has never even liked her master, and has even made full use of him! "
"How rude!" You Huang flicked her sleeves and spoke angrily.
Red Silk's body uncontrollably flew backward, smashing against a golden pillar to the side with a bang. She cleared her throat and spat out a few mouthfuls of blood. "Sir, you really are …" She held onto the pillar as she stood up, her body still trembling slightly.
"It's Red Silk who misjudged the adults." The Lord was so bewitched by beauty that he forgot his responsibilities. Such an adult would even look down on the red blood! There are so many women in the world. Even if the lord can like them, please do not forget your responsibilities! And now, for a girl who doesn't care about you at all, Master has treated the people of the Underworld like this. Perhaps, on that day, Hong Fu shouldn't have come to his lordship's side, in case he should feel sad to see an adult who's currently in a coma. "
"Insolent?" You Huang was so angry that she smiled and said, "You say I'm immoral? Then tell me, what did I do? It's just that I like a woman, so what does that have to do with the Underworld! "
Red Silk wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth. He lifted the corner of his lips and revealed a faint smile. However, Red Silk knew that the mortal woman he fell in love with had many troubles. Not only was she the lover of the previous Master of the Underworld, she also had a deep grudge with the Celestial Emperor. And what sort of status did the lord have between the two of them? "Although I don't know much about them, but I'm sure that a girl like her will bring no small amount of trouble to the Underworld."
"Can it be that I can't even protect a single woman?!" he said angrily.
Red Ripple gave a faint smile. "We're very clear on the strength of our lord, Red Ripple." However, if that day really comes, could sire please hold on and not involve the underworld even a little bit? Could an adult be able to do that? If an adult was able to do it, then even if the Red Silk could die, there wouldn't be even the slightest bit of complaint. The Underworld was the home of the red line. It was the place where the red line would be conceived. Even if this place wasn't as beautiful as the mortal world, and wasn't as pure and passionate like the mortal world, it was still a beautiful place in the heart of the red silk. If someone wants to put the Underworld into an irreparable calamity because of their own personal rights, even if the Red Silk is to put their life on the line, they still have to go stop it! "
You Huang looked at her steadily, as if she wanted to pierce through her body and see the answer deep within her heart. However, he only saw a rebellious woman, and her gaze towards him wasn't respectful in the slightest.
