Three times married to Yama

My steps abruptly stopped. What was going on?

Is that Yan Jinyue in the hazy mist?

He's home? But why didn't he respond when I called him just now?

While I was still in a daze, the blurry figure became clearer and clearer. When I came to my senses, all I could see was a white chest.

I'm an honest man, I've never seen anything like this before!

I instinctively stepped back, but accidentally slipped on the water. Luckily, I've been learning kung fu since I was a child, so I was able to react quickly!

So the instant I fell, I quickly did a mid-air spin so that even if I fell, I could reach out to protect myself.

Suddenly, a long arm appeared around my waist, and I was pulled back, crashing into the person's arms.

His embrace was cold but broad, and his chest was hard.

"Is it...is it Yan Jinyue?" I asked, my voice stammering.

This question elicited a soft chuckle from the man behind him.

"Who does Madam think I am? The bathroom floor is slippery, please be careful."

Yan Jinyue's voice carried a hint of amusement, as if she were teasing me.

I quickly replied, "I called you earlier but you didn't answer. I thought you weren't in your room. I didn't know you were in the bathroom... I didn't mean to look at you, Your Excellency. You're not angry, are you?"

I did get a glimpse of Yan Jinyue's white chest! Luckily, I didn't look down. If I had seen something I shouldn't have, I'm afraid Yan Jinyue would have killed me to silence me!

"Angry? Why would I be angry?" Yan Jinyue's tone was tinged with doubt. "We are still married. If you want to see, you can tell me. I'm not stingy with my wife."

I,"……"

Yan Jinyue's words confused me. Realizing that I was still in his arms, I quickly struggled to get out of his arms and ran out of the bathroom as if I were escaping.

"Yan Jinyue, don't use these to test honest people!" I couldn't help but shout from behind.

Yan Jinyue came out of the bathroom, drying his hair with a towel, but he was wearing a bathrobe and no longer exposed his chest.

"It's not a test," he replied.

Forget it, let's not dwell on this anymore and change the subject.

Seeing him drying his hair, I couldn't help but say, "Yan Jinyue, doesn't your hair smoke? It dries in a flash. I think it's quite convenient that you don't even need to dry it."

Yan Jinyue, "..."

Seeing his face darken, I couldn't help but burst into laughter inside; I had brought it up on purpose.

"Oh dear, I was just joking with the Prefect."

Yan Jinyue tossed the towel aside and nodded slightly. "Yes, as long as you're happy."

After saying that, he left the room and soon returned with a bowl of calming soup.

"Drink this calming soup and you'll get a good night's sleep." He handed the bowl to me.

He actually went and made me some calming soup again...

"Thank you." I took the bowl from his hand.

Yan Jinyue: "Of course."

It must be said that although he had a three-year contract with Yan Jinyue, he was a qualified husband who respected, protected and cared for his wife.

As long as you don't expect too much from him, this marriage is actually not bad.

After drinking the calming soup brewed by Yan Jinyue, I felt much calmer.

Goodnight, Yan Jinyue.

After gently saying goodnight to Yan Jinyue, I lay down to rest.

"Okay, goodnight, Ah Yin."

Separated by a large screen, I couldn't help but turn my head to look in his direction.

My affair with Qin Zhi could never be kept secret forever; it was bound to come to light in three years.

Yan Jinyue, when this lie is exposed, how will you treat me and Qin Zhi?

With this question in mind, I slowly drifted off to sleep.

……

Yan Jinyue's calming soup was indeed effective. I slept very well that night and had no dreams. When I woke up, it was already morning.

Yan Jinyue had already woken up and was working at his desk. When he saw that I was awake, he only glanced at me and continued working, but his voice rang out.

"There's a warm breakfast in the kitchen."

I stretched and asked, "Did the Prefect make this?"

"Yeah, I did it since I was awake and had nothing else to do," he replied casually.

Is he alright while he's awake? I don't think so; he seems quite busy.

However, I didn't call him out on it. After thanking him, I went downstairs to have breakfast.

After breakfast, I prepared to go to the Zhao family to quickly resolve Zhao Huaixu's matter, since every unfortunate event that happened to him afterward could be his death.

Before leaving, I asked Yan Jinyue if he wanted to come with me today, but he declined.

"I have something to do today, so I won't be able to join you. But if you encounter any danger, remember to contact me using your spirit flame," Yan Jinyue replied.

"it is good."

He seems to remind me of this even when he's not going.

However, since Yan Jinyue isn't going, I'll go all out.

I called Xia Zheng, and also brought A Jin, and the two little ones, Tong Nan and Tong Nv, cried and begged to come with me.

However, for convenience, I had the boy and girl stay invisible and follow me around. After all, although the two children were chubby and cute, their faces were really pale and they had two patches of red on their cheeks, which was a bit creepy.

To our surprise, when we tried to contact Zhao Huaixu, we learned that he was not at the Zhao family home and had left early in the morning.

Upon hearing this news, I felt a headache coming on. Didn't he know his current situation? How could he still go out?

I immediately called Zhao Huaixu, but as I expected, the call wouldn't go through.

"Master, where do you think Zhao Huaixu went?" Xia Zheng asked me.

I looked at Xia Zheng helplessly, "Do you think your master is a fortune teller? How would I know where he went?"

I called Pei Yu again, but he didn't know where Zhao Huaixu had gone either.

With a sigh of helplessness, I had no choice but to take out my compass and search for Zhao Huaixu's whereabouts based on his birth date and time.

After reciting the tracking incantation, the compass needle began to spin, pointing in a certain direction.

"Let's go find that unlucky kid Zhao Huaixu."

I drove the car out of the garage, picked up Xia Zheng and the boy and girl, and headed out.

I placed the compass on the front of the car to use as a navigation device.

Using a compass to find our way, we finally arrived at a secluded little internet cafe. Could Zhao Huaixu be here?

Xia Zheng stroked his chin, looking around the small internet cafe, and asked in confusion, "What's he doing in this little internet cafe so early in the morning? His room has really professional computers and gaming equipment, way better than this little internet cafe. There's no need for him to come to an internet cafe to play games, is there?"

"Who knows? Maybe they just like the atmosphere of internet cafes." I said as I walked into the internet cafe.

Xia Zheng expressed even greater confusion, "If you want atmosphere, go to a big internet cafe. The environment here really doesn't look very good. I really don't know what he was thinking."

He followed me inside while complaining. The environment of this internet cafe was indeed not very good, with smoke filling the lobby everywhere.

I said to Xia Zheng, "This place isn't big, let's just look around. You find the lobby, and I'll find the private rooms."

"Yes, Master!"

There aren't many private rooms here. Many people stayed up all night, and there weren't many people in the morning, so the private rooms were somewhat empty.

I quickly scanned the private rooms, but Zhao Huaixu was not among them.

Suddenly, my compass needle started moving again, pointing to a certain spot in the hall, and at the same time, Xia Zheng's voice rang out.

"Master! This way!"

I walked quickly toward Xia Zheng, who looked serious as he pointed at a strange boy sitting in front of a computer.

"Master, look, he's wearing Zhao Huaixu's jade pendant around his neck!"

That was indeed Zhao Huaixu's jade buckle, half gold and half jade. I returned it to him after checking it yesterday, and there was definitely nothing wrong with the jade buckle.

only……

Is a boy with an unfamiliar face wearing Zhao Huaixu's jade buckle? Or is it that the secret method of stealing Zhao Huaixu's destiny is about to be completed?

This person is Zhao Huaixu!

But now you can't recognize him at all!

Moreover, he was leaning back in his chair, his face pale and his eyes glazed over as he stared at the computer screen.

The game he was playing on the screen was still running, and from the game, it seemed he was chatting with someone, but the chat box only showed him talking to himself.

"Master... he's not dead, is he?" Xia Zheng asked me softly.

I shook my head. "No, he's not dead yet, but he'll be soon. He's on his last breath. If we don't find out who tried to change his fate and the medium he wears close to his body before nightfall, he'll definitely die."

The medium for determining destiny, like the red cloth bag that Qin Zhi and I carried, must be kept close to the body.

Since the jade clasp wasn't a medium, he must have something else on him.

I asked Xia Zheng to take Zhao Huaixu to the nearest hotel. I needed Xia Zheng to thoroughly examine his body and belongings.

"Xiao Zheng, remember to check carefully, don't miss even the underwear," I instructed Xia Zheng.

After all, men and women are different, and I can't very well go and check myself.

"Don't worry, Master, I will check it very carefully!"

After saying that, Xia Zheng carried Zhao Huaixu into the room, while I waited for him in another room. The boy and girl were sitting in the room chasing and playing, looking quite happy.

"Virgin, come here," I called out.

The girl immediately pounced on my legs, her round eyes looking at me, "Madam~~"

I gently stroked the little girl's head and asked, "I have a question for you: can ghosts take away a person's life?"

The girl thought for a moment and replied, "It is strictly forbidden by Yama to let ghosts steal the lives of the living. If they are discovered, they will be sent directly to the eighteenth level of hell. No ghost dares to do that."

In other words, there is actually room for maneuver, but the ghosts don't dare to do it.

"Okay, I understand. Go play now," I said to the virgin.

A moment later, Xia Zheng knocked on the door, and his excited voice could be heard outside.

"Master! I found it! I found the strange thing he always carried with him!"

I quickly opened the door, and Xia Zheng excitedly darted in like a monkey, carrying a pair of boxer shorts in his hand.

"Master, you're absolutely right! Just as you said, I thoroughly examined Zhao Huaixu's body, even his underwear! Guess what?"

I stared blankly at the pair of underwear in Xia Zheng's hand. Could this be...?

"That's right! I found something strange in his underwear!" Xia Zheng was very excited.

He tore open the crotch of the shorts and pulled out a talisman from the gap. It had runes drawn on it and a birth date and time.

I stood there, stunned.

I really want to applaud whoever came up with this idea. Who was the genius who came up with this?

"Go and help Zhao Huaixu put on his clothes. I have some questions to ask him later," I said to Xia Zheng.

"Master is all dressed, but he doesn't seem to be able to respond in his current state," Xia Zheng said with some concern.

Me: "Don't worry, with your master there, he won't die for now."

In the next room, Zhao Huaixu lay on the bed, his eyes still staring blankly at the ceiling, looking like a soulless shell.

I walked to his side, gathered my spiritual energy, and touched his brow with my fingertips. I softly recited a calming mantra, and Zhao Huaixu's eyes slowly focused, finally regaining consciousness.

When Zhao Huaixu saw me and Xia Zheng, he almost burst into tears.

"Waaaaah, Sister Yin, Master Kongyi, I thought I was going to die. I was trapped in a place full of fog and couldn't find my way out no matter what I did."

"But just now I saw a light in front of me, and I followed the light and woke up immediately."

As Zhao Huaixu spoke, his gaze fell on Xia Zheng's hand. Seeing the slightly familiar shorts he was holding, he was stunned for a moment, then reached into the shorts and let out a scream!

"Master Kong Kong Kong Yi, what are you doing with my underwear? Do you have some kind of special fetish?!" Zhao Huaixu looked at Xia Zheng with horror in his eyes.

Xia Zheng looked at me helplessly, "Disciple, you explain to him."

I said directly to Zhao Huaixu, "I asked you before if you wore anything strange close to your body. Now we've found that strange thing—it's your shorts."

"There's a talisman with someone else's birth date and time hidden in the seam of your shorts. That's the medium that stole your destiny. Now tell me, where did you get these shorts?"

Hearing my words, Zhao Huaixu was stunned. Xia Zheng gave Zhao Huaixu the shorts and the talisman and told him to look at them for himself.

When Zhao Huaixu saw the talisman with his birth date and time on it, his eyes immediately filled with tears, his gaze filled with shock and sorrow.

"Was it a gift from an acquaintance?" I asked. People who don't know you well wouldn't give you something like this that's worn close to your body.

Zhao Huaixu's tears fell after hearing my question.

"These were a gift from my dad. He gave me thirty of them, saying they were custom-made and suitable for a boy like me who's going through puberty," Zhao Huaixu said softly. "Sister Yin, do you think there might be a misunderstanding? Did someone deliberately put these talismans in the shorts my dad gave me?"

Hearing Zhao Huaixu's words, I was speechless and felt sorry for him. Zhao Hongyi had actually given him thirty of them, probably afraid that he wouldn't wear them.

"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, you can ask your dad directly, or check if there are any talismans in your other shorts. Also, why did you go to that internet cafe so early in the morning?" I asked.
