Three times married to Yama

His gaze fell on the earring pendant on my neck, which was a pair with the ones he was wearing.

Could it be because of that little earring?

I ran my fingers over my earring and asked, "Is it because of this that you knew my location?"

He stopped in front of me, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips. "You're quite clever."

Because I have a brain.

This little thing can pinpoint my location and transmit my danger to Yan Jinyue, which is pretty good.

"But why did you think of picking me up?"

I paused slightly after asking the question. Wait, based on Yan Jinyue's previous answers, I think I know how he will answer.

So just as he was about to speak, I raised my hand and covered Yan Jinyue's mouth.

I anticipated his words: "I know what you're going to say. You'll definitely say that during our marriage, it's a husband's duty to pick his wife up from school at night."

"Is that right?"

Yan Jinyue's expression faltered slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. "You actually knew what I was going to say."

I smiled politely and gracefully. "Of course, after all, I'm your wife in name only. At least on the surface, we need to keep up the good work, right?"

"Hmm." Yan Jinyue was very satisfied with my performance. "I'm glad you think that way, Ah Yin. I hope you live to be a hundred years old."

I,"……"

His words sounded a bit strange; was he referring to me?

He wants me to live to be a hundred years old, isn't that just hoping I'll follow his rules?

I looked at him with a smile and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely live to be a hundred years old."

Hearing me say that, I saw Yan Jinyue seem to breathe a sigh of relief?

What are you doing? Are you afraid I'll really fall in love with him? I know Yan Jinyue has the right to be confident, but can he at least stop being so confident?

"Let's go home," I said to him, my smile fading.

"Okay." His tall figure walked to my left.

But as I walked, I ended up in a night market street. I hadn't eaten properly all day, so it was time to replenish my energy.

"I'm going to get something to eat. Do you want to come?" I asked.

Based on my previous interactions with Yan Jinyue, I think he should really like human food. Tonight, I'll take him to experience the technology and ruthless challenges of modern society.

"eat."

As expected, Yan Jinyue answered without hesitation.

So I took him straight into the night market, but Yan Jinyue's outfit was just too aristocratic; the texture and luster of his clothes were simply not ordinary.

In fact, his clothes might not be ordinary at all; in short, his image was completely out of place in this night market.

"Ah Yin, is there something strange about me?" he asked me.

I looked at him and said, "It's nothing really, it's just that I feel your image doesn't quite fit here. You have an otherworldly air about you, but this night market is the most down-to-earth place."

Upon hearing this, Yan Jinyue smiled slightly, the corners of his lips curving upwards even more than before. He said, "The human world is your hometown, and as your husband, I naturally have to adapt to local customs. Besides, the food in the human world is indeed novel and delicious, and I like it very much."

"Really? How about trying some cold-dressed houttuynia cordata?"

As I spoke, I handed a bowl of cold-dressed houttuynia cordata to Yan Jinyue.

Yan Jinyue leaned forward and took a gentle sniff, her brows furrowing slightly. "This smells a bit strange."

"Indeed." I nodded. "But people who love it really love it, while people who don't can't stand it at all. Do you think you can accept it?"

The taste seemed to make Yan Jinyue a little resistant, but under my expectant gaze, Yan Jinyue picked up her chopsticks and gently put a piece into her mouth with a look of grim determination.

Then I saw his face turn a little green. His usually expressionless face was slightly furrowed at this moment, but he managed to control his expression well and didn't furrow it too much.

It seems Yan Jinyue isn't the type to enjoy this dish of houttuynia cordata, so I thoughtfully handed him a bottle of water.

A couple not far away had their attention on me. When the boy saw this, he gently punched the girl's shoulder, with a hint of coquettishness on his face.

"Honey, look at other people, they can eat houttuynia cordata for love, why can't you eat stinky tofu with me? Is it because you don't love me enough?"

When the boy asked her that, the girl looked a little embarrassed, but her eyes were full of doting affection. "I'm allergic to stinky tofu, baby. How about we eat some houttuynia cordata instead?"

"Hmph, alright then, boss, give me a serving of cold-dressed houttuynia cordata!"

Yan Jinyue looked at the couple and wanted to say something, but I quickly pulled her up and continued forward, saying, "Let's go, let's go, there's plenty of delicious food ahead."

The main concern is that Yan Jinyue might say something she shouldn't, and I wouldn't be able to explain it to her.

Finally, I packed up all the food that Yan Jinyue and I were interested in and ate it as we walked. I asked Yan Jinyue, "Your poison should be cured by now, right?"

Yan Jinyue had a detached expression, but she was biting into a string of candied hawthorns. "Well, I told you those poisons are nothing to me."

I slowed my pace. "I have a bad feeling about this. You said last night that so many people are vying for the position of Lord of the Underworld. Does that mean there are a lot of people trying to trip you up?"

Yan Jinyue paused in his bite of the candied hawthorn, then thought for a moment before replying, "It's alright, I'm used to it."

His eyes instantly turned cold. "Do they think the position of Lord of the Underworld is so easy to sit on? Ha."

He seemed quite confident, as if he didn't take those who were trying to trip him up seriously, but then a question suddenly occurred to me.

"My lord, I have another question."

"Okay, go ahead."

I pointed to myself and asked with some concern, "As your wife in name only, won't I be targeted by your enemies? What if they use me to threaten you?"

"No," Yan Jinyue answered confidently.

I asked curiously, "Why not? Are you so sure?"

Yan Jinyue replied, "You don't need to worry about this problem for now. They can only find my weakness if I have one. Ah Yin, I haven't fallen in love with you, so you won't be my weakness."

"They won't kidnap you to threaten me, so you can rest assured."

Yan Jinyue's words make a lot of sense, and I nodded in agreement, "You're right."

"Yan Jinyue, you absolutely mustn't fall in love with me," I said earnestly.

"No, I have never wavered in the three thousand years since my birth," he said earnestly as he bit off the last candied hawthorn.

I smiled and didn't say anything more. I thought that perhaps this kind of cooperative relationship without love might last longer?

On the way back, I received a call from He Chu, the policewoman I had met in Changyue Village.

She told me some news, and when I heard it, I froze in my tracks.

"Has Aunt Hui disappeared?"
