Chapter 657 [Underworld Side Story] Eternal Love 4
Chapter 657 [Underworld Side Story] Eternal Love 4
The Underworld Emperor casually looked at Sang Yinuo's direction, and the movement that could have been dodged instantly froze on the spot. The next second, a footprint was imprinted on his black robe.
But he couldn't care less about that anymore, and he wasn't in the mood for jokes.
“You… Zhaozhao…”
Sang Yinuo crossed her arms and chuckled. In the blink of an eye, the Underworld Emperor rushed forward excitedly and picked up the child from the ground: "It really is you, my baby..."
He was trembling with excitement, and when Zhao Zhao looked into his eyes, she saw that they were red and bloodshot.
He smiled and said, "During the time I was away, did you all live well, Father?"
Suddenly, a water stain appeared on the back of his hand; it was the Underworld Emperor holding him and crying.
The 1.9-meter-tall man was hugging Zhao Zhao and crying like a wronged little wife. He Xi strolled over unhurriedly and saw this scene.
"Oh, what's going on? Why is she still..." She subconsciously raised a gloating smile, but when she saw the cub's familiar face, she belatedly realized what was happening and suddenly couldn't laugh anymore.
"This is my son!"
She remembered the moment before the battle, when she closed her eyes, helplessly holding her youngest son, gazing into his blank, lifeless eyes, and desperately giving him her last words.
She also recalled the scene in the pitch-black coffin where bright, clear black eyes smiled slightly at her before closing completely.
Caught off guard, the Underworld Emperor was kicked by He Xi again, and his son, whom he hadn't even warmed up in his arms, was handed over to another.
"Is that Zhaozhao? It's your mother!"
Faced with He Xi's tears, not only Zhao Zhao, but even Sang Yinuo was at a loss.
“Mother.” Zhao Zhao had never truly spent time with her, but the bond of blood made him feel heartache for the tears of the mother before him.
“I never thought I would see you again,” He Xi cried, tears streaming down her face. At this moment, apart from Sang Yanyi, the entire Underworld Emperor family surrounded Zhao Zhao.
“Zhao Zhao, I know you saved me,” He Xi said, his eyes red. “But if saving me comes at the cost of your life, I would rather not live.”
Zhao Zhao didn't want anyone to feel guilty. His original intention was simply to complete the mission. He only wanted to use the reward to save his mother, the Underworld Emperor, and Sang Yinuo's lifelong wish as his life was about to end.
But once this happens, the guilt and heartache are ultimately unavoidable.
"I'm sorry to have worried you. I won't do it again next time."
Zhao Zhao, resting her chin on her hands, feigned cuteness: "Father, Mother, don't cry~"
As soon as the words were spoken, the two adults cried even louder, tears streaming down their faces.
Zhao Zhao smiled and sighed, gently wiping away their tears. Suddenly, her gaze met that of the smiling Sang Yinuo.
His smile was no longer eerie; it was once again filled with tenderness.
It turns out that even someone with such unpredictable moods can have such a gentle side.
"Is your brother living a good life?" He looked at the weariness in Sang Yinuo's eyes and asked him.
“Of course,” San Yinuo raised his eyebrows, “After you leave, I will carry your goodwill toward the world and earnestly be a responsible next ruler of the underworld.”
Sang Yinuo, who had expected to receive praise from Zhaozhao, saw the child in front of him frown and shake his head at his words.
He was slightly taken aback, but then Zhao Zhao said, "I want you, Second Brother, to live for yourself for once."
Stubborn, his obsession for the first half of his life was to resurrect his mother, and he traveled through several worlds despite everyone's disapproval and pressure.
Later, his obsession turned into his own, and he simply remembered his dying words and lived according to his requirements.
Despite his unrestrained and carefree nature, he lived the least free life.
The Underworld Emperor and He Xi also turned around and looked at the stunned Sang Yinuo.
"Your father and I still have some energy, so the responsibility of the underworld for the next few hundred years will be entrusted to us."
They exchanged a smile, then looked at Zhao Zhao and Sang Yinuo: "As for you two darlings, just grow up well by your parents' side."
In their eyes, San Yinuo was just an immature child.
"Second Brother~" Zhao Zhao threw herself into his arms.
"I want to grow up with you!"
Zhao Zhao was glad he came back, and glad she still had the chance to see his family.
Meanwhile, as Zhao Zhao sighed, Sang Yinuo was also feeling grateful.
Thanks to Zhao Zhao, his life is filled with hope again; thanks to fate, they met again.
……
When Zhao Zhao returned home, the Underworld underwent another dramatic transformation. The cold and desolate scene suddenly became warm and lovely, and Zhao Zhao's presence filled many corners of the Underworld Emperor's Palace.
Toys and his trinkets occasionally appeared in the solemn hall, adding a touch of life.
The usually stern and aloof young emperor now wore a defiant smile, filling the void in the hearts of the Underworld Emperor and Empress. Upon learning the news, Sang Yanyi began returning home more and more frequently.
The once lifeless underworld has gained a touch of vitality.
The only thing that frustrated Zhao Zhao was that his young emperor brother still liked to scare him with his head.
A sudden 360-degree rotation and a lengthening/shortening.
Zhao Zhao's courage also grew as they spent more time together.
"Second brother, your tricks are outdated."
That night, Zhao Zhao felt a furry touch in his palm. He opened his eyes with a smile and saw Sang Yinuo's head sticking out.
After being discovered, Sang Yinuo said dejectedly, "Couldn't you have cooperated with me for a little while?"
After discovering that Zhao Zhao was in good health, his daily pleasure became teasing his younger brother.
As he was feeling down, he looked up again and the figure on the bed suddenly disappeared. Sang Yinuo jumped up, probably because he was too nervous and was startled by Zhao Zhao, who was silently making faces behind him.
“Sang! Yi! Zhao!”
He rushed over to grab him, he fled and he chased, and the passing Underworld Emperor was caught off guard and tripped over it.
After that, Zhao Zhao developed another hobby—teasing Sang Yinuo.
The question was learned from San Yinuo.

Author's Note: This is my first signed novel. I've encountered quite a few obstacles on the road to updating it. The immaturity of my writing and plot often makes me lose confidence in continuing to write.
However, after signing the contract, I was both surprised and delighted to see that many readers enjoyed reading it.
Thank you so much for your companionship. Your enthusiasm built a wall of confidence in me, and your encouragement gave me renewed motivation.
I started writing this book during my freshman year and am now in my sophomore year. During this time, I spent almost all of my spare time writing.
There are many temptations in the outside world, but I know that to become an author, I have to give up some things.
I don't regret writing. I'm very glad that the book I poured all my heart and soul into has paid off and has been loved by many readers.
Thank you for your companionship. I sincerely wish you success in your studies and careers, and a peaceful and prosperous life.
I hope to see you in the next book.
……
I might write about other worlds and side stories in this book later.
I've read all your comments, and the philandering CEO and the Campus F4, who are among the most popular choices, will surely have a chance to reunite someday.
I've been really tired from writing lately, and I think I need to set aside some time to rest and study. Thank you all.
