Three times married to Yama

Chapter 16 You can fool others, but you can't fool me.

I looked down at the earring that I had turned into a necklace and was hanging around my neck. The color of my earring hadn't changed; it was still the most mysterious deep blue.

"My lord, I've arrived," I replied softly.

Yan Jinyue looked at me, pointed to the sofa next to her, and said, "Sit."

Yan Jinyue and I sat facing each other on the sofa in the living room. When our eyes met, I saw a hint of unspoken words in Yan Jinyue's eyes.

"My lord, since we'll be living together from now on, you can speak freely if you have any questions," I said directly.

I think it's better to clarify things beforehand in a contract marriage like mine with Yan Jinyue.

Upon hearing this, Yan Jinyue nodded slightly. "Alright, then I'll get straight to the point. I enter the mortal world once every five hundred years, and I'm quite unfamiliar with the current state of human affairs. I hope you can help me become more familiar with this world."

"The human world is changing, and the underworld should also try to change. As the lord in charge of guarding the underworld, I must understand the human world so that the underworld can change with the times."

So that's how it is. They've actually come to inspect the human world?

"But each time I enter the mortal world is a tribulation for me. If you can help me overcome this tribulation, I will try my best to fulfill your requests."

Hearing his words, my breathing became heavy. If I could help him successfully overcome his tribulation, would it be feasible for me to ask him to help me eliminate my father's karmic debts?

"But I am just an ordinary person, how can I help Lord Fu overcome his tribulation?" I said softly.

My words caused Yan Jinyue's indifferent expression to shift slightly. He took a few steps closer to me and suddenly leaned in to stare into my eyes.

You can fool others, but you can't fool me.

His entire figure enveloped me, and we were closer than ever before. It was also the first time I truly felt his imposing stature.

He is definitely over 1.95 meters tall, and his strong and broad physique is very imposing.

I'm 1.72 meters tall, and even with shoes I'm over 1.75 meters tall, but I still look small in front of him.

And what he said made me feel nervous, even though my heart wasn't beating much.

Has Yan Jinyue discovered that I was forced into marriage?

Just as my mind was racing, trying to figure out how to explain the substitute marriage, Yan Jinyue's voice rang out above me again.

"You are no ordinary person. You have the ability to communicate between the Yin and Yang realms. Even if you try your best to hide it, you still can't fool me."

The heavy weight on his heart, which had been pressing down on him, suddenly lightened after hearing Yan Jinyue's next words.

It seems he only knows that I have some skills, but not that I was forced into marriage in his place.

"Why……"

I sighed softly, leaned back on the sofa, and said in a low voice, "As expected, nothing can be hidden from the Lord. Half a year ago, I did indeed gain some good fortune and the ability to communicate with the Yin and Yang realms. If the Lord doesn't mind, I am certainly willing to share the burden for you."

Since I've been seen through, there's no point in pretending anymore.

However, I was only half telling the truth when I said that.

Upon hearing my words, Yan Jinyue's oppressive gaze revealed a satisfied expression. "Very good."

"However, I have a question I would like to ask you, Lord, and I hope you can answer it." I stood up and looked up to meet his gaze.

His eyes were as cold as the water in an autumn pond. "You speak."

"I would like to ask the Lord of the Underworld how to eliminate the karmic debts I bear," I asked directly.

"Are you burdened with karmic debts?"

"I am a friend of mine."

Yan Jinyue replied, "Then we should accumulate more good deeds to pay off our karmic debts, but good deeds aren't so easy to accumulate."

I fell silent for a moment, thinking about how much good karma my father would need to repay the karmic debts he carried.

Mainly because of my dad's personality, he doesn't seem like the type of person who would actively accumulate good deeds.

After thinking for a moment, I tentatively asked Yan Jinyue, "I remember that karmic debts can be transferred to blood relatives, but what about karmic virtues? Can they be transferred as well?"

My question would most likely arouse Yan Jinyue's suspicion. I had already thought of how to explain it, but Yan Jinyue just nodded slightly.

"Can."

I paused for a moment, then swallowed back the words I had prepared.

However, I was soon filled with excitement. Since it could be transferred through blood relatives, I could pay off my father's karmic debts. This way, my father wouldn't have to hide anymore and could enjoy his old age in peace.

It seems that what Xiaoxian suggested earlier is worth considering.

Yan Jinyue was still watching me. Feeling his gaze, I said directly, "I'm about to take on a client's request. You know I can communicate with the spirit world, and I want to use this ability to help others, so I might not be home. Can you manage on your own?"

"Are you going out?" he asked.

I nodded. "Mm."

He replied, "I'll go with you. I need to experience all aspects of life in this world. I think I'll understand a lot about the joys and sorrows, the greed, anger and delusion of this world if I go with you."

"However, I will not interfere in matters concerning you humans; just consider me an observer."

Since he said that, I really couldn't refuse, so I had no choice but to nod and agree.

After making up my mind, I contacted Xiaoxian and asked her to screen all the people I contacted and recommend the people most likely to be involved in paranormal events to me.

However, for now I'm only accepting commissions from Xihu City. I've just settled down in Xihu City and don't really want to travel around.

In the afternoon, Xiao Xian passed the buck to me.

At this moment, the usually quiet "Record of a Hundred Ghosts" began to glow faintly from its title page.

I was stunned. So this Hundred Ghosts Record has a secret?

I grabbed the Hundred Ghosts Record and crawled into bed, wrapping myself up tightly so that no one else could see me, not even animals.

In bed, I opened the Book of a Hundred Ghosts again. Only one page of the book emitted a faint light; the rest were dim and lifeless.

I flipped directly to the page that was glowing; the ghost described there was called the Love Demon.

The Enchantress was originally a lovelorn woman in the mortal world. After her death, her obsession lingered, and her soul condensed into an enchantress, specifically targeting those with gentle destinies and bumpy love lives.

They use fleeting tenderness as bait to weave a web of sinister connections.

The person entangled will gradually become obsessed with the illusion of being entangled with it, and their soul will be gradually devoured. When their yang energy is exhausted, they will fall into the underworld with it and be a pair of lovebirds in the Yellow Springs forever.

At this moment, the page belonging to Enchantress is lit up. Is it foreshadowing something?

I closed the Hundred Ghosts Record again. The page that had been lit up was slightly dimmer, but it didn't disappear.

In a moment of thought, I accepted the person's WeChat friend request.

As soon as we added each other as friends, the other party sent me a series of messages.

"Master, save me! I think I'm about to die!"
