"How did you know?" Shock was written all over Ye Shikai’s face. It’s not possible that Chen Yuxin was tracking him all the time, or carried some listening device. But if memory serves him right, the Mili Forest has no signal whatsoever. Even Ye Shikai couldn’t contact the outside world, so monitoring is impossible.

"Secret." Chen Yuxin smiled slyly, deliberately withholding information from Ye Shikai. Soul Destroyer and Demoness naturally didn’t ask more questions, as at this moment, they could only be bystanders.

"You... humph." Ye Shikai snorted coldly, turning his head away from her. Chen Yuxin said nothing, just started playing on her phone.

"Boss, do you have a way to find the Bai Mountain snow lotus?" Demoness hesitated but eventually spoke up. The Bai Mountain snow lotus is extremely rare, even though snow lotuses grow abundantly on Bai Mountain, any snow lotus from Bai Mountain can technically be called Bai Mountain snow lotus. However, the helpful ’Bai Mountain snow lotus’ is a special species, growing above an altitude of 4000 meters and on the shade side, with a growth cycle of over thirty years. Searching for such a snow lotus on vast Bai Mountain is like finding a needle in a haystack. Moreover, Netherworld Palace and Moon God Temple are now short-staffed, and Ye Shikai plans to visit Wuyan, that little girl. If the Worm Sect doesn’t have a ready snow lotus, he can try borrowing some manpower.

"No matter what, I will try my best. There are so many cultivation families in Huaxia, someone must have it." Ye Shikai spoke determinedly, but Chen Yuxin’s complexion subtly changed, though no one noticed.

Hotel.

"Kai, I won’t go after all. You go straight to the hospital with them." Ye Shikai never expected that Chen Yuxin, who insisted on visiting Ghost, suddenly didn’t want to go anymore. Ye Shikai was taken aback.

"What, changed your mind suddenly?" Ye Shikai chuckled, curiously asked.

"If I went, it might backfire. Kai, I’m your wife, so I will support your decisions. You want to help Ghost, then I’ll help you." Chen Yuxin suddenly self-mocked, "Although Ghost has amnesia now, if subconsciously he is still repelling me, wouldn’t I be adding fuel to the fire by going?"

"Xin, are you angry?" Ye Shikai sensed the tense atmosphere as if Chen Yuxin’s words carried a powdery scent.

"I am not." Chen Yuxin turned her head, speaking coldly.

"Liar, you always turn your head when you’re angry, you’ve been like this since childhood." Ye Shikai sighed helplessly, stepped forward slowly, and hugged her gently.

"Don’t be angry, okay? They are my brothers, they’ve helped me a lot before. Even if it’s for my sake, don’t sulk." Ye Shikai whispered softly in Chen Yuxin’s ear.

"I’m not that childish. Kai, you should spend less time with them. In Yanjing, with your current status, it’s not appropriate to get entangled with international underground forces. They are your friends, but I am your wife." Chen Yuxin turned around, her tone suddenly became serious.

"Is it that serious? Well, according to this argument, I am the Netherworld King, and you are the Family Head of a cultivation family; doesn’t our marriage seem even more absurd?" Ye Shikai casually remarked, but Chen Yuxin’s expression immediately changed, with panic and a hint of sadness, trembling lips, reddening eyes as tears welled up.

This is a cry-worthy rhythm.

"Xin, are you alright? I’m sorry, I said the wrong thing." Ye Shikai hurriedly went to comfort her, his hand just brushed Chen Yuxin’s pretty face, two clear tears rolled down. Chen Yuxin disliked anyone making remarks on her marriage; she disliked hearing Ye Shikai say such things even more.

"I was being dramatic. We’re fine, okay?" Ye Shikai comforted her, and after more than ten minutes, Chen Yuxin’s emotions finally stabilized.

"Xin, earlier I was wrong, are you okay?"

"Humph, I’ll let you say it again in the future." Chen Yuxin angrily clawed at Ye Shikai’s face.

"Alright, alright, I won’t say it anymore, okay?" Ye Shikai smiled bitterly, unexpectedly, the dignified Mr. Chen had such a childish side.

"Xin, could you answer a question?" Ye Shikai suddenly spoke.

"Hum, say it quickly." Chen Yuxin replied irritably.

"How did you know I went to Mili Forest, and about the elves inside? I never mentioned it to anyone, yet you casually said it in the car earlier. What’s going on?" Ye Shikai quickly asked, taking advantage of no one around.

"You... really want to know?" Chen Yuxin pretended to be mysterious, making Ye Shikai itch with curiosity. They say curiosity killed the cat; human curiosity is a form of torture as well.

"Of course, I’m very eager to know." Ye Shikai nodded repeatedly.

"Alright then, come over, I’ll tell you." Chen Yuxin beckoned with her finger, willow waist swayed, enough to enchant ninety-nine percent of men, paired with an exquisite face, Ye Shikai didn’t hesitate and went closer.

"Kiss me and I’ll tell you." Chen Yuxin whispered softly in his ear.

"What?" Ye Shikai’s face changed, like an electric shock, his body recoiled.

"What’s up, Kai? Could this request be too much?" Chen Yuxin propped her chin with both hands, staring straight at him.

"Oh come on, don’t tease me, just say it." Ye Shikai said "impatiently."

"No way, you have to kiss me first."

"Alright, I have no choice." Ye Shikai left a quick peck on Chen Yuxin’s cheek as light as a dragonfly on water.

"Okay, now can you tell me?" Ye Shikai hurriedly asked.

"Actually... one day you talked in your sleep, I accidentally overheard it." Chen Yuxin said, failing to suppress a giggle.

"What, sleep-talking?" Ye Shikai was shocked, never expected it to be like this. But he doesn’t remember having such a dream about the secret.

However, upon thinking further, people quickly forget their dreams upon waking, it’s quite possible.

"So that’s it." Ye Shikai nodded, "Alright, the last time I went to Mili Forest, was for a reason, I..."

"Forget it, better not say." Ye Shikai hesitated, stopping short, thinking of the awakening fruit to save Su Qingyu, but facing Chen Yuxin, he decided not to mention it to avoid envy from her.

"Kai, there really are elves in this world, huh? Someday, take me to see them." Chen Yuxin smiled as she spoke, reminding Ye Shikai of the elf queen’s visage.
