Three times married to Yama

"You forgot?" Yan Jinyue frowned slightly, a look of disbelief flashing in her eyes.

"You actually forgot..." he repeated in a low voice.

Yan Jinyue's current state is truly baffling.

"How about..." I looked at him cautiously, my voice barely a whisper, "Could you give me a hint?"

Yan Jinyue just looked down at me, and the atmosphere between us was extremely awkward.

"At the mountain king's birthday banquet, we talked in the bamboo forest." He squeezed out these words through gritted teeth.

He was speaking, but I couldn't help but feel that he was gritting his teeth.

However, after Yan Jinyue's reminder, the idea of ​​a reward gradually became clearer in my mind.

Seeing the fleeting clarity in my eyes, Yan Jinyue asked, "Do you remember now?"

I nodded, but then asked, "Are you really going to give me a reward?"

"Of course, why would I lie to you?"

Looking at Yan Jinyue's serious eyes, I felt a mix of anticipation and fear regarding the reward he mentioned.

"What reward will the Lord give me?" I asked Yan Jinyue, a hint of anticipation in my eyes.

Yan Jinyue leaned slightly towards me again, his gaze fixed on me intently, his eyes seemingly holding stars, as if he wanted to imprint me into his soul.

I couldn't help but shrink my neck slightly. Why was he looking at me like that?

I'm getting a little creeped out!

After staring at me for a while, Yan Jinyue suddenly smiled faintly.

He said, "In my long life, I have married ninety-nine wives, and you are the most obedient and the one who can control her desires the best among them."

When I heard him mention the ninety-nine brides, I felt a strange unease, as if I had bitten into a sour fruit.

Even the Lord of the Underworld couldn't possibly have so many wives, could he?

"So?" I asked him.

Yan Jinyue's gaze remained fixed on me. "So I think our relationship can last a little longer, so those guys from Youming won't try to arrange marriages for me again."

I blinked, stunned.

"Is this the reward you were talking about?"

Yan Jinyue didn't deny it. "As long as you remain the Lady of the Underworld, I can protect you forever. Even if you die and enter the Underworld, I can still protect your soul. Isn't it good that we cooperate like this until you die?"

My brain went blank for a moment. Is that a reward for me?

No, my answer is no.

I took a deep breath and looked directly at Yan Jinyue. "Since this reward is for me, can I suggest what reward I want?"

Yan Jinyue paused for a moment, then nodded, "Of course."

I figured my identity as someone other than Qin Zhi would be exposed sooner or later, so maybe...

"Lord, how about this? We'll divorce now, and you can give me the hundred years of lifespan you promised me. That would be the greatest reward for me." I looked at Yan Jinyue with utmost sincerity.

No reward is as meaningful as living to be a hundred years old.

Yan Jinyue, "..."

At that moment, I could clearly see that Yan Jinyue was stunned.

"You want a divorce right now?"

"right."

Yan Jinyue stared intently into my eyes, as if checking to see if I was lying.

My heart was pounding. Had I offended him with my words?

But it wasn't his wish to marry me. Can't we get a divorce now? Or do we have to wait three years before we can get a divorce?

Just as my mind was wandering, Yan Jinyue straightened up and chuckled softly, though the laughter didn't reach her eyes and was somewhat eerie.

"Ah Yin, very good, you have passed my test."

I,"?"

Um, were those words Yan Jinyue said to me just now a test?

"What a nutcase, Yan Jinyue!" I cursed him inwardly. Sure enough, he loves to test people. Luckily, I passed his test!

"As a reward, I'll give you a pet."

As he spoke, he moved his hand, and a cloud of black mist condensed in his palm. When the mist dissipated, a small, golden-brown, furry squirrel appeared in his hand.

He put the squirrel on the ground and said to me, "Its name is Ajin, it's yours."

After saying that, he turned and went upstairs, no longer looking at me.

Looking at Yan Jinyue's departing figure, I felt as if he was carrying emotions.

I looked down at the little squirrel on the ground. Its fur was beautiful; I had never seen such a cute little squirrel before.

"Hello, Ah Jin," I greeted it.

Ajin blinked its beady eyes and stared at me. After a while, it suddenly raised its paw, and a huge axe appeared in its paw. Then it carried the axe on its small shoulder.

My eyes widened like saucers as I scrutinized Ajin and the axe on its shoulder from every angle.

"You, you..."

Seeing my shock, Ah Jin actually spoke in human language, and it was the voice of a little boy.

"Madam, from now on I will protect you with my axe!" it said, waving its large axe.

I quickly took a few steps back, afraid that its axe would slip from its claws and crack my head open.

"Hey, Ah Jin, put your axe away for now." I pointed to its axe.

Akin nodded his little head, swung his axe, and then disappeared.

Although Ajin is a little squirrel, its background must be extraordinary. But why would Yan Jinyue think of giving me such a unique pet?

Of course, squirrels aren't particularly special, but what squirrel would carry a giant axe?!
