The plan of the Emperor of Yin and the Jade Emperor of Heaven was very simple: they wanted to temporarily change the ruler of the Underworld in order to deceive the Dao.
However, what the Emperor of Yin did not expect was that while he was sincerely executing the plan, the Jade Emperor was not!
The Jade Emperor genuinely wanted to kill him and gain complete control over the Underworld!
The events that followed are the version that has been passed down through the Three Worlds.
The Heavenly Court launched a major offensive during the consecration of Mount Tai at the Underworld, joining forces with traitors from the Underworld, and in one stroke, defeated the Emperor of Yin, scattering his spirit body and leaving his soul lost to all.
Had it not been for the fact that during the aftermath of battle, the people of Heaven failed to locate the Mount Tai Seal, a symbol of authority in the Underworld, Emperor Jade's scheme might have truly succeeded this time!
"This Jade Emperor is too shameless! He truly does not deserve to be called a son of humanity!"
You Shi Lu heard the hidden secrets and was so angry that he couldn't help but emit an aura of darkness all over his body.
Even Bai Lu, who had known everything, shone with flashes of black light when he was informed, almost losing control of the existence of Emperor Yin.
However, Zhou Qi reacted calmly to it, with no emotions showing on her face.
For Zhou Qi, such things happening were too normal!
After all, ordinary commercial contracts may also face the risk of breach.
Let alone something as significant as a matter involving the throne of the Underworld!
Therefore, in Zhou Qi's eyes, although the Jade Emperor had a lack of moral integrity, the ultimate responsibility for this matter lies with Emperor Yin being too naive!
Who would simply agree to a verbal contract with someone?
That's just foolishness!
Zhou Qi was criticizing it in her mind one by one.
"Sister Zhou, what is this Uncle saying?"
While Zhou Qi was still murmuring to herself, Lu Nianwei beside her suddenly asked.
For a little girl who has been in a coma for a long time, the story told by Emperor Yin was too incredible and completely incomprehensible to her.
Before Zhou Qi wanted to explain, the Little Yizi demon, however, had no intention of giving Emperor Yin face, and mocked in a straightforward manner,
"No big deal, it's just that this old man was too foolish and was swindled out of his fortune by another old man. It's just a story for fun!"
Before Little Yizi demon's words had even ended, You Shi Lu had already turned angry and raised his hand to use his own Chou Huan Scepter on Little Yizi demon, exclaiming, "Dare to speak blasphemy against the king, death!"
"Not afraid of you!"
The only thing Little Yizi demon fears is Zhou Qi. There's no reason for him to be afraid of You Shi Lu at all.
Therefore, when You Shi Lu reacted angrily and attacked, Little Yizi demon did not show any mercy and used a spell of illusion directly on You Shi Lu's body.
"Alright, stop the nonsense."
Hearing the movements of the two people behind her and seeing Bai Lu's increasingly pale complexion, Zhou Qi hurriedly spoke out to stop You Shi Lu and Little Yizi demon.
"What is Your Majesty's purpose in telling us all this?"
Zhou Qi held Lu Nianwei in her arms, signaling her to remain silent for the moment, and then asked.
"There is one thing I seek, and I beg the girl to grant my request."
Emperor Yin did not care about the commotion between You Shi Lu and Little Yizi demon and looked at Zhou Qi with sharp eyes.
This expression and demeanor was not at all like asking for help, but rather as if he were giving orders to Zhou Qi!
"Please, Your Majesty, tell me what the matter is. Although I can be considered a friend of Bai Lu and You Shi Lu, I don't want to get involved in too much trouble. After all, my abilities are limited, so please forgive me."
Zhou Qi is very familiar with the expression of Emperor Yin. This is the kind of expression that small leaders in companies often use, without any fear!
Feeling that Zhou Qi was truly unafraid of his identity, Emperor Yin's eyes couldn't help but show a trace of loneliness.
Once upon a time, Emperor Yin was full of vigor and spirit.
In the presence of Emperor Yin, tiny human beings like us can barely even catch our breath.
And now, this respected Emperor Yin has to stoop low and beg a human being for help.
It's...shameful!
"Father!"
Bai Lu was well aware of Emperor Yin's temper, so Emperor Yin and Zhou Qi remained silent for only a moment before gritting their teeth and speaking again.
If the father continues to be in a bad mood, today's matter will never be resolved. It might as well let him rest earlier!
"Alright, alright!"
Hearing the urgency in Old Six's tone, Emperor Yin sighed deeply and then pulled out something that Zhou Qi was very familiar with,
"Please, Miss Zhou, do me a favor and keep this Mount Tai Seal safe for me. Help my Underworld get through this difficult time."
Emperor Yin held the Azure Green Mount Tai Seal in both hands, bending slightly towards Zhou Qi, and kowtowed half a time.
"Your Majesty!"
"F*ck!"
You Shi Lu and Little Yizi demon, through their peripheral vision, saw this scene. Both of them almost immediately stopped what they were doing and exclaimed in unison.
The respected Emperor Yin of the Underworld, master of billions of dead souls, bowed to a human being?
As the guard of Emperor Yin, You Shi Lu had never seen such a stunning scene in millions of years!
Although Little Yizi demon was not afraid of the Emperor Yin, he had never thought of having the Emperor Yin bow to someone else, which was too incredible!
Even Bai Lu, who had been keeping his eyes closed, struggled to open them after hearing the exclamation. Then he completely froze in shock.
His high and mighty father, at this very moment, was bowing to the human beings he looked down upon the most?
This world must be going crazy!
Zhou Qi also didn't expect that Emperor Yin would be so easy-going and actually came to her for help.
This is just too...
Seeing Zhou Qi didn't respond, Emperor Yin simply took a deep breath and bent his body even lower.
"Please, Miss Zhou, help me out!"
Emperor Yin's voice carried an unexplainable tone.
There is shame, anger, resentment, and compassion.
"Why me?"
Facing the kneeling Emperor, Zhou Qi was very sure that she was moved, but at the same time, she had doubts in her heart.
If he is the Emperor of the Underworld, then he can find anyone and go anywhere.
Why would he seek help from a mere psychiatric nurse like herself?
The difference between them is too great.
"Miss Zhou, see the situation I'm in now. Who can I trust?"
Emperor Yin revealed a melancholic smile, pointing to the surroundings.
This ward is like a cold prison, with no choice at all!
"Of course, the more important thing is that Miss Zhou is gifted. At such a young age, she can already master the power of Dao, which is indeed an extraordinary news in the Three Worlds!"
"Therefore, I believe that Miss Zhou must be the best candidate. This must be the choice of Heaven!"
Perhaps Emperor Yin was afraid that what he said earlier might have hurt Zhou Qi's dignity, so he quickly tried to make amends by complimenting her.
In the midst of Emperor Yin's highly unwavering praise and under the very eager gaze of You Shi Lu, Zhou Qi took the Mount Tai Seal that Emperor Yin handed over.
After Zhou Qi repeatedly assured him that no one else would take the Mount Tai Seal, Emperor Yin finally revealed a satisfied smile and his figure disappeared.
