Three times married to Yama

"What?"

"slave?"

Yan Jinyue's indifferent face stiffened slightly, and then a hint of coldness appeared in her eyes as she looked at Yun Fu.

I quickly stepped forward to explain, "Don't listen to his nonsense. He's the bodyguard I hired. You know, I've been having some strange encounters lately, so I think it's safer to have a bodyguard to protect me."

I think my explanation is perfectly valid; it's such a legitimate reason.

My answer made Yun Fu look at me with some resentment, while Yan Jinyue had already walked up to me.

"Ah Yin, are you saying that I, as your husband, haven't protected you well enough?"

???

What the hell? That's not what I meant at all! Yan Jinyue's imagination is running wild!

I continued to explain, "Of course that's not what I meant. You've protected me very well, but as the Lord of the Underworld, you must have a lot of things to do. You can't be by my side all the time, so it's reasonable for me to hire a bodyguard to protect myself."

Yan Jinyue frowned slightly and did not speak immediately, seemingly considering the veracity of what I had said.

Yun Fu, however, seemed to thrive on chaos, saying, "What bodyguard? I'm her ancestral slave, from her father's generation..."

Holy crap! What is this guy going to say?!

Without time to think, I stepped forward and covered Yun Fu's mouth, forcing him to swallow the rest of his words.

If he were to reveal my dad's secrets, I would be exposed even before Qin Zhi appears. I suspect this guy is trying to ruin me.

Seeing that I was covering Yun Fu's mouth, Yan Jinyue glanced at me coldly, then laughed.

"A hereditary slave? How come I didn't know you, Ah Yin, had such great abilities?"

"Or rather, you managed to hire a bodyguard like the Corpse King Sheqing, which is quite a surprise to me."

Cold sweat poured down my forehead. Yan Jinyue wasn't stupid; he should have noticed something was clearly wrong long ago.

It shouldn't be...

I think he knew all along that I wasn't actually Qin Zhi, but he didn't expose me.

No matter the reason, as long as he doesn't expose me, I can continue to pretend to be Qin Zhi, and neither of us will break the unspoken agreement.

"Shut up," I snapped at Yun Fu.

Yun Fu pouted, "Your husband is so fierce."

I,"……"

Hearing Yun Fu's words, I felt as if I had exhausted all my strength.

I couldn't help but kick him. "Get lost!"

Yun Fu touched the leg I had kicked, smiled slightly, and said, "That's just right. I'll be going now, Master. See you next time."

Did he come here today just to annoy me?!

Yun Fu left, leaving Yan Jinyue and me here, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

"Ah Yin, you seem to be quite close to him," Yan Jinyue suddenly said.

Intimacy? How could Yan Jinyue say that?

Me: "Do you mean I should slap him, or kick him?"

Yan Jinyue shook her head. "It's a feeling, but as your husband, you don't have that feeling for me."

I'm exhausted again.

Yan Jinyue, do you want to listen to what you're saying?

I took a deep breath, trying to calm my agitated mind.

"Yan Jinyue, our marital relationship is superficial, it's fake. We need to keep our distance. You said that from the beginning, and I'm just following your rules."

"Don't be unreasonable!"

I've really gotten bold enough to talk to Yan Jinyue like that, but I really couldn't hold back anymore!

But what Yan Jinyue said next completely stunned me.

His gaze suddenly became very serious, and he followed me step by step as I approached.

"Perhaps we don't need to follow the rules so strictly."

Yan Jinyue's words were like a bolt of lightning striking me!

What does he mean by that? Does he mean we don't need to follow the rules? Does he want us to become a real couple?

My gaze turned suspicious, but he looked quite serious.

Could it be...

Is he testing me?

If I agree with him right now, will he suddenly kill me?

Ha, Yan Jinyue, don't think that just because you have that stunning face and those deep, affectionate eyes you can seduce me.

It's fake, it's fake, I don't believe it.

My expression was calm, and my voice was even calmer. "That won't do. Rules are rules. I have never forgotten a single word that Yama said on our wedding night. I keep it in mind at all times. Please don't make fun of me, Yama."

My words caused Yan Jinyue's pupils to tremble slightly. Although his expression remained unchanged, there was some surprise in his eyes.

But I ignored him, calmly went into the study, and then locked the door.

I let out a deep breath, not caring what Yan Jinyue was thinking.

He must have his reasons for not revealing my identity now, so it's best for me to pretend I don't know anything.

Honestly, I need to keep myself busy these next few days so that Yan Jinyue doesn't catch me. With that in mind, I immediately agreed to He Chu's request.

I slept in the study that night, since Xia Zheng wasn't back, and I didn't need to pretend to be a harmonious couple with Yan Jinyue at home.

But even if I don't look for Yan Jinyue, he will come to me on his own initiative.

Around midnight, there was a knock on my study door.

I ignored it; neither humans nor ghosts could disturb my sleep.

But Yan Jinyue is no human being. He actually teleported into my study and stood in front of my bed when I didn't open the door.

He stood there menacingly in front of my bed, radiating a chilling aura.

I couldn't stand him standing there like an ice pop any longer, so I sat up straight in bed, looking at him with a mixture of speechlessness and anger.

"Yan Jinyue, what exactly are you trying to do?" I asked helplessly.

Yan Jinyue's deep voice rang out, "It's been over two months since we last met, and you..."

He stopped talking towards the end, and remained silent for several seconds.

I couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

The study was very quiet, so quiet that only the breathing of Yan Jinyue and I could be heard, though his breathing was a little heavy.

"I think the residual poison is acting up again. Can I hug you?" he suddenly said to me, his voice tinged with suppressed emotion.

I,"?"

"Wasn't the poison you were poisoned with completely cured?" I asked in surprise.

"Um."

No wonder Yan Jinyue was acting strangely today; it turns out the poison she was poisoned with earlier had taken effect.

But I didn't agree immediately, my voice full of hesitation, "But if the Lord knew you hugged me, wouldn't he be angry?"

I remember the original body warning me to stay away from the clone.

He leaned closer to me and whispered, "He wouldn't dare."

I looked at Yan Jinyue in astonishment. How could a clone of him dare to say such a thing?

"I still don't think this is quite right..."

As soon as I finished speaking, I was enveloped in a warm embrace, the complete opposite of the icy atmosphere.

I was stunned. Was the poison still lingering?

My icy body can help alleviate the pain he suffers from poisoning.

His tall frame almost completely took up my small bed, and I was held in his arms like a cat.

His scent filled the entire study, and his nose unconsciously brushed against my neck. I was afraid he would kiss me again.

Curled up in Yan Jinyue's arms, I dared not move. I don't know how much time passed, but my legs went numb.

"Yan Jinyue, are you feeling better?" I asked softly.

The sound of his even breathing filled my ears, along with his gentle, tender whisper, "With you here, I feel much better."

"Can you let go of me now?" I asked again, my legs were really numb.

Yan Jinyue, "...", offered no response other than the sound of her breathing.

Falling asleep instantly?!

really?

I carefully moved my legs, slowly escaping from Yan Jinyue's embrace.

But as soon as I moved out, Yan Jinyue grabbed my wrist and I couldn't shake her off.

Then I prepared to sit by his side all night. I don't know when I fell asleep, I only know that when I woke up I was in Yan Jinyue's arms.

Two tall people were crammed into the small bed, so you can imagine how crowded it was; Yan Jinyue had one leg on the ground.

I didn't notice last night because the lights were off, but now I realize that Yan Jinyue's robe has slipped down to his waist, revealing his smooth and muscular upper body, and I have one hand on his chest.

!!!

My pupils dilated instantly; the sky had fallen!
