After Marrying the Lord of the Underworld

Since they were planning to go out and play for the whole day, they had to pack their things.

 

Lu Yingjiu rarely participated in such recreational activities. During his student days, he would occasionally go out with others and only bring his phone and wallet. Later, with the convenience of mobile payments, he didn’t even bring his wallet and just carried his phone out.

 

So, standing in his bedroom where he had nothing but necessities, he was a bit confused and thought ‘What else would he bring?’

 

A sound came from the next room, probably indicating that Jing Xian was tossing things around.

 

Jing Xian seemed to have an amazing talent for carrying personal belongings. Lu Yingjiu wanted to go over and ask him what he had brought.

 

But when he got there, he saw that Jing Xian’s room was slightly ajar. He pushed it gently and said, “Jing Xian, are you…”

 

In front of him was a well-built adult male body with beautiful muscle lines, each inch clearly outlined in the sunlight. At first glance, the impact was extremely strong.

 

If the situation wasn’t quite right, this scene would be extremely eye-catching, enough to make anyone with a male sexual orientation scream.

 

Jing Xian was shirtless, holding a white shirt in his hand, preparing to put it on. If he ever went bankrupt, just taking off his shirt like this would be enough to start earning over ten thousand a day in tips.

 

Two people, four eyes, faced each other.

 

Lu Yingjiu: “…..”

 

Lu Yingjiu took a half step back and closed the door, saying, “I’m sorry, I should have knocked.”

 

There was still no expression on his face, but his mouth tightened imperceptibly for a moment, almost nervous, and he hastened to close the door.

 

The door was halfway closed then got stuck.

 

He couldn’t pull it anymore.

 

Lu Yingjiu was about to use force when the door was suddenly pulled back hard.

 

He was still holding the handle, and the door pulled him back, causing him to stumble. When he looked up, Jing Xian was still holding the other side of the door, still shirtless, with a look of joy on his face. “Oh, why are you suddenly so enthusiastic!”

 

Lu Yingjiu’s scalp was numb and he said, “Put on your shirt!”

 

“Isn’t this a rare opportunity? Why are you so shy?” Jing Xian said, “What’s wrong with men looking at each other?”

 

Lu Yingjiu thought to himself that there was indeed nothing wrong with men looking at each other. He didn’t know how many people he had seen before.

 

But Jing Xian was different!

 

Other men wouldn’t have their eyes light up like this when he saw them!

 

Lu Yingjiu was about to step back when Jing Xian grabbed his hand and said, “Why are you leaving so fast? Isn’t this how it’s written in novels? If you see someone taking a shower, you have to take responsibility for them.”

 

Lu Yingjiu said, “But you’re not a woman. You just said that men can look at each other.”

 

Jing Xian said, “Actually, I’m very shy and afraid of being seen by others, so I can only rely on you. You just looked and ran away, that’s too scumbag.”

 

Lu Yingjiu: ???

 

He was stunned by Jing Xian’s shamelessness, and once again looked at the tall and muscular man in front of him. He said, “What nonsense are you talking about?!”

 

Jing Xian said, “Anyway, you’ve already looked, so why not touch a little? Don’t you feel like you’re missing out?”

 

He then took Lu Yingjiu’s hand and tried to guide it towards his biceps or abs, while muttering about how other people have to pay to see strippers, but now it’s free, and he could  touch as much as he wants. He even promised to provide many after-sales services.

 

Lu Yingjiu: ???

 

Lu Yingjiu said, “I don’t feel like I’m missing out!!”

 

He struggled with all his might and finally managed to pull his hand away from Jing Xian’s muscles. He then quickly walked away, leaving behind a disappointed Jing Xian.

 

Lu Yingjiu was still in shock when he returned to his room.

 

His phone suddenly vibrated violently.

 

It was Ye Feng calling.

 

He took a deep breath, trying to remove the image of Jing Xian’s upper body from his mind, and answered the phone. “Hello?”

 

Ye Feng sounded still very low-spirited.

 

He said, “About Zhang Nianyun, I just heard some news.”

 

“…What news?” Lu Yingjiu sat on the bed.

 

The trip to Mt Gassan Village let them know that Ye Deyong had actually revived Ye Feng.

 

But when and why Zhang Nianyun died in front of that monument, no one knew. Ye Feng later asked the elders at home and had been inquiring about this matter. Now it seemed that there was finally some clue.

 

Ye Feng said, “Didn’t we bring back a lot of notes from the rest house? The Ye family has been looking through them, and finally found a torn letter in a book – to be precise, a suicide note.”

 

He continued, “The content of the suicide note is no longer complete, but after comparing the handwriting and signature, it was left by the second grandmother.”

 

“So how did she die?” Lu Yingjiu asked.

 

Ye Feng said, “According to the suicide note, she committed suicide in 2001.”

 

“…Suicide?” Lu Yingjiu was stunned for a few seconds.

 

“Yes,” Ye Feng sighed, “I was also surprised. I don’t know why she committed suicide in front of the stone tablet worshiping the Heavenly Way, and why the second grandfather didn’t bury her bones well… You should know the rest of the things, there’s nothing special, and no one knows about your photo.”

 

Lu Yingjiu was silent for a while.

 

In the end, it was still Ye Feng who said, “Forget it, don’t worry about this for now. How have you been these past few days?”

 

“Nothing much.” Lu Yingjiu glanced outside, Jing Xian finally put on his clothes and went to the living room to clean up, “Just about to go to Yunxiao Amusement Park.”

 

“You’re actually interested in that kind of place? You’ve changed.” Ye Feng was taken aback for a moment, then he suddenly understood, “Are you going with Jing Xian?”

 

“Yes.” Lu Yingjiu rubbed his brow bone, “I promised him before.”

 

“That’s good, that’s good.” Ye Feng said, “But you guys are going to this place for your honeymoon? Although it’s not bad, I thought you guys would go abroad or something, after all, he looks like he has a lot of money to spend, or is it that it is inconvenient for Chinese ghosts to go abroad?”

 

Lu Yingjiu: “…What honeymoon, I told you we’re not together yet.”

 

“Hey,” Ye Feng said, “Why are you still so tsundere?”

 

Lu Yingjiu: “…”

 

His brow twitched, and he said, “Goodbye.”

 

After hanging up the phone, Jing Xian had already prepared everything outside, and even changed his shoes.

 

Lu Yingjiu went out, Jing Xian looked at him and asked, “Shall we go?”

 

“Let’s go.” Lu Yingjiu said, bending down to put on his sneakers.

 

****

 

40 minutes later.

 

The Aston Martin parked in the parking lot outside the amusement park.

 

Today was the weekend, and there were many cars coming. They found this spot after circling around several times.

 

At the entrance of the amusement park, there were bunches of colorful balloons floating outside, and the children’s faces were full of excitement. The younger ones were being led by their parents, and the older ones were already hopping around.

 

They lined up in a long queue and waited for a long time before they entered the park.

 

Lu Yingjiu took two maps at the entrance, gave one to Jing Xian, and then spread his own to look at it.

 

The Yunxiao Amusement Park covered a very large area, divided into two major areas. One side was a regular amusement park with roller coasters, pirate ships, haunted houses, etc., and the other side was a water park, which was extremely popular in this hot summer.

 

Lu Yingjiu said, “We shouldn’t have come on the weekend. According to the number of people entering the park, the queue will definitely be long, and we won’t be able to finish playing in one day.”

 

Jing Xian said, “Then we can stay in the park for one night.” He pointed to the west side of the amusement park, “You see, there is a themed hotel here.”

 

“That’s possible.” Lu Yingjiu nodded, then suddenly smiled, “It seems like I haven’t gone out to play like this in a long time.”

 

“Then next time we can go somewhere else, wherever you want to go.” Jing Xian said.

 

The nearest to them was the carousel.

 

Lu Yingjiu didn’t want to ride it at first. After all, both of their styles didn’t quite match the carousel.

 

Especially Jing Xian.

 

What suited him was clearly not a horse, but a warhorse. Lu Yingjiu had no doubt that if he got on, he could ride out the feeling of galloping on the battlefield, and the next second he would kick someone’s head.

 

But Jing Xian insisted on experiencing all the amusement projects with Lu Yingjiu and forcibly dragged him over.

 

Lu Yingjiu had never played with this thing before, so he let him do it.

 

The queue was all children and their parents, or young couples.

 

They were both tall and could be seen at a glance in the queue, not to mention their outstanding looks, they were simply living clothes hangers, too eye-catching. As soon as Lu Yingjiu turned his head, he could see several pairs of small eyes staring at them.

 

Lu Yingjiu felt a bit embarrassed for some reason.

 

Seeing that the queue was still very long, he wanted to tell Jing Xian to forget it.

 

But when he turned his head, he saw Jing Xian staring at the carousel with interest.

 

Lu Yingjiu suddenly realized that Jing Xian must be seeing this for the first time.

 

After all, he came from the ghost world.

 

These things that Lu Yingjiu took for granted were all new and exciting to Jing Xian, so of course he would be looking forward to them.

 

So Lu Yingjiu quietly swallowed his words.

 

When it was almost their turn, the people from the previous round were leaving, and Lu Yingjiu quietly asked Jing Xian, “Which horse do you like? I think the black one suits you.”

 

He had been noticing that black horse for a long time.

 

The black horse was handsome and dashing, and it was the most suitable for Jing Xian’s temperament.

 

Jing Xian said, “Whichever one you like, we’ll go on that one.”

 

Lu Yingjiu: “I don’t have a particular favorite…wait,” he suddenly realized, “What do you mean by ‘we’?”

 

“It means riding a horse.” Jing Xian said matter-of-factly.

 

“No, no, no,” Lu Yingjiu’s thoughts were a bit chaotic, “The carousel, of course, is one person per horse, unless you are a five or six-year-old child. How can two adults sit together!”

 

That image was simply too terrible!

 

He got goosebumps just thinking about it.

 

“Ah,” Jing Xian was very surprised and also very disappointed, “Is that so… I thought I could hold you while playing this.”

 

Lu Yingjiu: “…”

 

Indeed, he should have taken Jing Xian out earlier.

 

Now it’s obviously too late, the gate opened, and they entered.

 

After Jing Xian knew that he couldn’t ride a horse with him, he was very disappointed and dragged Lu Yingjiu around aimlessly, not knowing what he was looking for.

 

–A few seconds later, Lu Yingjiu knew.

 

Jing Xian pulled him onto a pumpkin carriage.

 

This was the only place in the entire field where two people could sit together.

 

As soon as Jing Xian saw it, his eyes lit up.

 

Lu Yingjiu reluctantly sat down, but they were tall and the space was really too small. Their long legs were very uncomfortable, and it was not right to put them left or right. They almost wanted to stretch them out of the car.

 

Lu Yingjiu’s knee was against a railing, almost stuck there, and Jing Xian next to him was even worse, completely stuck.

 

But Jing Xian didn’t care, he leaned back, stretched out his hand and put it on the back of the seat, half hugging Lu Yingjiu.

 

With a beauty in his arms, he was quite happy.

 

To be precise, he was quite happy at any time when he was with Lu Yingjiu.

 

Lu Yingjiu muttered, “Really like a naive child from a master’s family…”

 

“What?” Jing Xian didn’t hear clearly.

 

“Nothing,” Lu Yingjiu said, “I said you are very smart.”

 

The pumpkin carriage was hung with colorful little lights, and there was a huge bow on top of the pumpkin.

 

A sharp bell rang, the horses slowly started, accompanied by cheerful children’s background music, they moved up and down.

 

The two of them sat in the pumpkin carriage full of girlish atmosphere, Lu Yingjiu propped his head and looked around, everywhere were children.

 

Suddenly, Jing Xian asked, “Does this pumpkin carriage have a story? I remember it’s a fairy tale?”

 

Lu Yingjiu thought for a while and said, “Are you talking about Cinderella?”

 

“Maybe.” Jing Xian said, “What’s the plot?”

 

Lu Yingjiu actually hadn’t heard many fairy tales, so he told Jing Xian the story of Cinderella based on his vague impression. He told him how she was bullied by her stepmother and sisters, how she attended the prince’s banquet in a pumpkin carriage with the help of a fairy, and how she left her glass slipper at midnight.

 

Jing Xian listened with interest and finally said, “This story is really interesting.”

 

“Isn’t it?” Lu Yingjiu said, “This is a very famous fairy tale.”

 

The music just stopped, the children happily got off the horse and ran outside. It took them a while to get their legs out of the pumpkin carriage.

 

The next project was bumper cars.

 

Lu Yingjiu had been in Jing Xian’s car for so long and had a deep understanding of his violent driving skills. He felt that him playing this project would definitely be a disaster for others.

 

Sure enough, as soon as he got in the car, Jing Xian couldn’t wait. As soon as the bell rang, he suddenly stepped on the gas pedal——

 

The car suddenly thrust forward and fiercely collided with others.

 

In the next 3 minutes, Lu Yingjiu was holding onto the handle tightly. Their car was spinning, accelerating, and drifting flexibly in the field, hitting all the nearby cars to pieces.

 

After getting out of the car, Lu Yingjiu still felt his feet shaking.

 

Jing Xian said he would help him, but in reality, his hand kept reaching for his waist, holding on and not letting go. It took Lu Yingjiu several times to pry him off before he reluctantly let go.

 

Next up were the big pendulum and the pirate ship.

 

Lu Yingjiu hadn’t played these much, but he was clearly not afraid.

 

The intense feeling of weightlessness was not unfamiliar to him. With a talisman attached, he could jump down from five or six floors high, wasn’t that more thrilling?

 

So, even when the big pendulum fell heavily in mid-air and people around him screamed, he just squinted his eyes in the wild wind, even feeling a bit sleepy.

 

Jing Xian also felt it wasn’t thrilling enough.

 

So, in the end, they stood in front of the roller coaster.

 

This was the largest roller coaster in Yunxiao Amusement Park, named “Upside Down”. It had a total of ten loops, and the track twists and turns horribly, like the spine of a mad snake. When the roller coaster swept over their heads, people’s piercing screams almost shattered their eardrums.

 

The line for the roller coaster was very long.

 

The weather today was very good, the sky was blue, and the sun was particularly bright. People were lining up with sweat on their foreheads, many drinking cold drinks, fanning themselves with the amusement park map.

 

Lu Yingjiu also had a mango ice slush that Jing Xian had just bought.

 

He didn’t like the direct sunlight at noon, so he moved forward a bit, just standing in Jing Xian’s shadow – after all, Jing Xian was essentially a ghost and didn’t fear the heat.

 

After playing for so long, he took a sip of the ice slush, the coolness with the aroma of fruit exploded on his tongue, refreshing and invigorating.

 

Jing Xian bought himself a mung bean ice slush.

 

After a few sips, he asked Lu Yingjiu, “Is the mango one good?”

 

“Not bad,” Lu Yingjiu said, “Do you want to try a sip?”

 

His intention was to let Jing Xian sip from the edge of the cup.

 

But Jing Xian lowered his head and very naturally drank directly from his straw, tasted it and said, “The taste is indeed good, but it’s still a bit worse than what I make.”

 

Lu Yingjiu: “…”

 

He looked around guiltily, seeing that no one was paying attention to them, then stared at the green, twisted straw, pondering the definition of an indirect kiss.

 

The last time he and Jing Xian drank from the same cup was when they met Chen Xiaoling, when he gave Jing Xian the matcha latte he had sipped a few times… But the situation was very different now. At that time, he didn’t realize that under Jing Xian’s elite, domineering, evil, and model-like face, there was a thieving heart that wouldn’t die, and a strange obsession with his waist.

 

Jing Xian finally reacted. “Oh, I didn’t think about it. What’s there to mind? We’ve kissed, why care about this?”

 

Mentioning this, Lu Yingjiu’s eyebrows twitched.

 

Seeing that things were not going well, Jing Xian quickly said, “Come on, I’ll change the straw for you.”

 

He pulled out the green straw, then took the straw from his own cup and put it in Lu Yingjiu’s cup.

 

Lu Yingjiu thought to himself, that’s more like it, and then continued to drink the ice slush.

 

After two sips, he suddenly realized.

 

Isn’t this the same thing?!

 

Jing Xian gave him his own straw, isn’t this still an indirect kiss?! There’s no difference!

 

Seeing him suddenly holding his forehead, Jing Xian asked, “What’s wrong with you? Are you dizzy from the sun, heatstroke?”

 

“…No.” Lu Yingjiu rubbed his brow bone hard, “No, I just feel that my IQ has dropped after playing with you for so long.”

 

For the next twenty minutes or so, Genius Lu drank mango ice slush while worrying about his IQ for the first time in his life.

 

Until he got on the roller coaster, he was still seriously considering whether he would suddenly become stupid one day.

 

After all, he thought, if he really ended up with Jing Xian, at least one of them had to be smart, right? Otherwise, how would they live?

 

The safety buckle was buckled down, the staff checked one by one, and then, the snake-shaped roller coaster slowly started.

 

The car vibrated slightly, and the sound of gears came from below. The front of the car was a giant snake with its mouth wide open, each scale lifelike, as if it was slowly swallowing the black track into its belly.

 

This roller coaster was very high, the ascent was very slow, and the passengers could only feel the wind blowing, watching the ground gradually recede.

 

Lu Yingjiu was also looking around, overlooking the entire amusement park.

 

“…You said that magic will disappear at twelve o’clock, right?” Jing Xian suddenly said.

 

“What?” Lu Yingjiu asked.

 

“Just like the story of Cinderella,” Jing Xian said, “I suddenly feel like I’m the fairy godmother.”

 

Lu Yingjiu: ???

 

He was confused for the second time today. If he was still drinking the ice slush, he would definitely spit it out on the spot.

 

Jing Xian continued his argument, “Look, the pumpkin carriage I gave you is like those countless luxury cars, the glass slipper I gave you is like money and big diamond rings, although I can’t give you a beautiful dress, but I can take off my clothes and let you touch my abs…”

 

“Stop, stop, stop, stop.” Lu Yingjiu’s head was spinning, “Oh my god, don’t talk anymore.”

 

Only Jing Xian could compare himself to a fairy godmother.

 

“Anyway,” Jing Xian was immersed in his own world, “I’m in such a good condition.”

 

“Yes, yes, yes.” Lu Yingjiu nodded, “Right, right, right, good, good, good.”

 

The roller coaster was nearing its peak, everyone couldn’t help but hold their breath, only the two of them were still whispering to each other.

 

Jing Xian continued, “But I’m much better than the fairy godmother. You said her magic will disappear at twelve o’clock, but mine won’t.”

 

“My time is much longer, after all, I’m a faithful and dedicated ghost that’s hard to find even with a lantern. As long as you want, I will accompany you through today’s twelve o’clock, tomorrow’s twelve o’clock, and all the twelve o’clocks in the future. Of course, all the eleven o’clocks, ten o’clocks, nine o’clocks, eight o’clocks…”

 

Lu Yingjiu was stunned for a moment.

 

Jing Xian was still talking nonsense, but what he just said somehow touched a certain place in his heart.

 

He couldn’t quite describe what kind of feeling it was.

 

But it was quite soft.

 

Soft like the wings of a bird, or the white sand on the beach.

 

“…So,” Jing Xian finally looked at him, with a smile, the brilliant daylight reflected in his deep eyes, “Lu Yingjiu, when will you finally fall in love with me?”

 

Lu Yingjiu didn’t answer.

 

The roller coaster climbed to its highest point.

 

Then, amidst the screams, it spun and plunged!

 

The world was spinning in front of him, the ground and the crowd were rapidly approaching, the speed of nearly 150 kilometers per hour turned all the scenery into long lines, fleeing from his sight in a hurry.

 

The wild wind blew up his clothes and messed up his hair.

 

The mad snake twisted its body, letting out a deafening roar, and the car body rose sharply along the track at the lowest point. The weather today was really great, the sky was like a curtain, clean and clear. So the blue sky in Lu Yingjiu’s vision spun and howled.

 

It was pure blue, clean blue, and heart-stirring blue.
