Chapter Three – A Trip to the Underworld
Outside Jinling City, atop Zhongshan Mountain.
"Master, this is the entrance to the Underworld. If we open this gate, we can go straight to the Bridge of Helplessness."

Qin Keqing's jade-like face was filled with anxiety. After taking a deep breath, she solemnly reminded him, "The barrier here is incredibly powerful.

It's difficult to open without an Underworld token. We can summon Ox-Head and Horse-Face to open the gate."
"There's no time." Baoyu, facing the gate to the Underworld, was unconcerned. A smile played on his lips as he said, "If we can't

enter normally, then we'll be ruthless! If the gate won't open, we'll tear down the wall!"
Before he finished speaking, Baoyu suddenly knelt on one knee and punched the mountaintop.

Instantly
Baoyu's punch, a cloud of dust immediately rose into the air, engulfing Baoyu's feet, reaching his waist, and

then paused in mid-air, stopping at Baoyu's shoulder.
From afar, the smoke and dust resembled a giant gray wave, while Baoyu stood like a boulder on the sea, unmoved by the

churning .
Qin Keqing stood three feet away from Baoyu, watching this eerie scene. Her beautiful eyes trembled,

flashes appearing uncontrollably.
In a daze, Baoyu's figure rapidly magnified in Qin Keqing's eyes, until in the blink of an eye, he stood tall and imposing.
Qin Keqing's heart was no longer anxious or fearful.

The sternness were all cast aside by Baoyu's boundless heroism.
Qin Keqing's thoughts shifted in an instant. Baoyu clenched his fist, and the smoke and dust covering the mountaintop seemed to lose

its support , plummeting rapidly.
The next instant, the mountaintop miraculously cracked open, revealing a bottomless black hole to Baoyu's eyes.
"Keqing, come on, what are you standing there for?"
Baoyu stood up, grabbed Qin Keqing, and leaped into the air. They flew like two connected

feathers towards the underworld.
Their figures disappeared, and the vertically descending cave slowly closed.
Moments later, the summit of Zhongshan Mountain returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened.
A gray sky, a gloomy earth, and the ghost realm were filled with the eternal, undying aura of the underworld.
Suddenly, a crack appeared in the gray sky, and two figures descended, one foot landing on the Bridge of Helplessness,

touching the supreme majesty of the underworld.
"Keqing, is this the underworld?" Baoyu's presence caused the wind and clouds to change color. He stood proudly on

the Bridge of , his eyes filled with only leisure and curiosity.
Although Qin Keqing was a ghost immortal, she couldn't keep up with Baoyu's unrestrained flying speed. She had involuntarily clung tightly to his waist

earlier , but now her jade-like face flushed red, and she quickly released her hands.
"What kind of demon dares to trespass into the underworld? Kneel down and confess your sins!"
Before Qin Keqing could completely wipe the blush from her face, a large group of ghost soldiers and generals rushed over,

surrounding .
"Hehe, these guys are really...cute."
Baoyu's curiosity intensified. He looked left and right, grinning broadly, because these "cute"

ghost soldiers were either blue-faced with fangs, had gaping mouths, or were shrouded in eerie mist, all strangely shaped.
At this moment, Baoyu was even more smug—you don't know until you compare, and then you're shocked! Turns out I'm

so , hehe...I'm practically the most handsome man in the world!
"Master!" Qin Keqing seemed to see through Baoyu's shameless thoughts, secretly rolling her eyes and pouring cold water on him, saying,

"This is a ghost's disguise; ghost soldiers are no different from people in the mortal world."
Baoyu's vanity was immediately dealt a heavy blow, and resentment arose immediately. Those ghost soldiers who deliberately pretended to be ugly became

the perfect targets for his anger.
"Hey, you bunch of ugly ghosts, hold on tight!"
The sudden shout made the ghost soldiers dizzy. Before they could recover, Baoyu had already charged into the ghost horde.

Baoyu's fists were unstoppable, and ghost cries rose and fell. Whether they were ghost soldiers or ghost generals, they all turned into flying

ghost balls, finally crashing into the river of blood.
In a flash, Baoyu was already standing on the bridgehead, a hundred feet away from Qin Keqing. Apart from

the crimson .
"Keqing, come here, Second Sister You is waiting for us."
Baoyu extended his inviting hand from afar. Qin Keqing's body trembled violently. She slowly walked onto the Bridge of Helplessness,

thinking: Once upon a time, she was a lonely ghost in the underworld, living in constant fear. Now,

she strolled leisurely on this Bridge of Helplessness. Hmm...
Qin Keqing was getting closer and closer to Baoyu, but his figure was becoming more and more blurred. In a daze, Qin Keqing even

felt that the underworld had become colorful, dazzling and enchanting.
So this is what it feels like to be protected by a strong person. Oh... Unconsciously,

Qin Keqing 's eyes reddened. Although she was still some distance from Baoyu, her jade hand involuntarily reached out and

"grasped" Baoyu's hand from afar.
Inside the Hall of the Underworld.
The flickering green light rose and shimmered, and the Nine Netherworld Fire burned eternally, making the ghosts tremble and wail.

The ghosts who enter here are those who cannot ascend to heaven to enjoy blessings, but among them are many kind-hearted individuals. Though they may have performed no good deeds in their lives, they

have also committed no evil. These ghosts will enjoy the same good treatment as ordinary citizens of the underworld, even more fairly and freely than those in the mortal realm

.
The four judges sit high on the judgment platform, executing the judgments according to the second part of the Underworld Code, their actions methodical and efficient, yet not

chaotic.
The ghosts either scream in agony, wail, or are overjoyed.
An hour later, when the long tide of ghosts finally dissipated, Judge Lu, the head of the four judges, closed the Book of Life and Death and

cheerfully said to his three friends, "The work is done. How about we go for a drink?"
"Brother Lu, there's still a female ghost here, and it's not easy to deal with her."
Judge Sima, the most diligent of the judges, sighed, pointed in the direction of the Golden Sand Pool, and said in a deep voice, "This

female ghost committed the crimes of slander and murder in her previous life, but she was not inherently bad and had never harmed any good people. I

don't know how to punish her."
The dark-faced judge raised the underworld rules in his hand and said in a serious tone, "What's so difficult about that? A guilty person is a guilty person.

First, sentence her to the Tongue-Pulling Hell, then throw her into the Oil Cauldron. Once she has cleansed herself of her sins, she can be reincarnated."
"But this woman was forced to her death, and she had shown kindness to beggars and starving people in her life." The red-faced judge flipped

through the Book of Life and Death, a hint of sympathy in his voice. He looked at Judge Lu and said, "A kind-hearted person like her should be enjoying blessings in heaven.

Now she can only remain in the underworld. If she is further punished by being sent to purgatory to suffer, wouldn't that be a bit inhumane?"
Before the red judge could finish speaking, the black judge retorted, "How can the laws be changed so easily? If we make

an exception , wouldn't that break the rules?"
The four judges did not control their volume, and their conversation was heard word for word in the Golden Sand Pool.
In the pool filled with lava, the wails of countless ghosts echoed everywhere. They could hardly move in the water,

constantly enduring the pain of the lava melting their bones.
Among the ghosts, one female ghost stood with her face bowed, fearless in the face of the underworld's first punishment.

Though her figure trembled from the burning sensation in the pool, she remained silent throughout. Judge Lu did not

immediately issue a verdict. He stepped down from the platform and stood by the Golden Sand Pool, observing You Erjie from above.
The other three judges, knowing Judge Lu's character, exchanged wry smiles and followed.
"Hmm, this woman is indeed interesting," Judge Lu stroked his black beard, nodded slightly, and casually ordered

a ghost soldier to seize You Erjie for interrogation.
The ghost soldier bowed and obeyed, the Soul-Locking Chain flying out, lifting You Erjie's soul from the Golden Sand Pool and throwing it onto the main hall.

You Erjie rolled on the ground, and despite the lingering pain, she forced herself to stand.
Judge Lu had already returned to his seat, his expression turning serious. He feigned a stern

threat
, saying, "Second Sister You, you dare not kneel before me? Aren't you afraid I'll cast you into the eighteenth level of hell for eternal torment?" Second Sister You slowly raised her head. Her previously carefree expression was now cold and desolate, devoid of any playful laughter. She stared directly at

the four judges, saying indifferently, "Let it be as it is! I've heard your conversation.

I've already died—times. There's nothing to fear."
"You audacious female ghost! How dare you!" Judge Hei, with the most fiery temper, was enraged by Second Sister You's contemptuous gaze. He

slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Come on, cast this female ghost into the Tongue-Pulling Hell, where she will never be reincarnated!"
"Brother Hei, don't be angry." Judge Lu waved his hand lightly, stopping the ghost soldiers from advancing. He then discussed

with the three judges in a teasing tone, "Hehe... After being a judge for so many years, it's rare to see a female ghost like this.

It seems like we haven't been scolded in a long time, have we?"
He paused slightly. Although Judge Lu wanted to let Sister You off the hook, he couldn't disrespect his colleagues. After a moment's thought,

he compromised, "How about this, let's send her to the Tongue-Pulling Hell for a month to suffer, and then send her to be reborn

as a human . How about that?"
"No!"
A clear voice suddenly rang out, abruptly interrupting Judge Lu's reasonable judgment.
Before the words were finished, a cluster of multicolored light suddenly appeared. In the brilliant halo, Baoyu led Qin Keqing out slowly.

"Ah, Jia Baoyu, Keqing, you...you..." Sister You's bewildered eyes finally showed some emotion.

She never expected Qin Keqing and Baoyu to appear at this moment.
"You audacious fiends, courting death! Take them down!" The Black Judge, already enraged by You Erjie, was completely ignited by the appearance of Baoyu

and Qin .
"Keqing, why don't you practice your skills? I'm a little tired!"
Actually, Baoyu had been there for a while, but Lu Pan's words had subtly changed his anger.
Qin Keqing, not understanding her "master's" plan, paused slightly, then gracefully stepped forward, her sleeves fluttering, to meet

the soul-searching attacks of a group of ghost soldiers.
Her sleeves danced in the cold light, her graceful figure moving among the ghosts. The difference in strength determined the outcome of the battle,

but the disparity in experience caused the battle to remain deadlocked for a time.
The clanging of metal was lively, but to the four Ghost Judges and Baoyu, it was utterly laughable,

devoid of any excitement.
"Keqing, keep it up! Well done!" At some point, Baoyu had sat down not far from the judge

, sipping fragrant tea from the underworld and cheering for Qin Keqing.
Lu Pan, however, was not angry. Instead, he observed Bao Yu with interest.
Bao Yu, seeing this, leisurely raised his teacup in response.
"You audacious fiend, daring to defy the Yama Palace! Get down here and face your death!" Hei Pan, unlike Lu Pan

, roared furiously.
"Sigh, the same old thing again. Can't you come up with something new?" Bao Yu looked around, showing

absolutely no respect for the Yama Palace, renowned throughout the Three Realms.
Bao Yu's teasing was a mockery to Hei Pan, making him tremble with rage. He involuntarily kicked his legs,

wielding his judge's iron ruler, and leaped into the air, striking Bao Yu fiercely.
In his extreme anger, Hei Pan forgot that this was the Yama Palace; if he broke anything, he wouldn't escape

punishment . "Sigh! Brother Hei is still so impulsive."
Lu Pan, as the head judge, was a master of both magic and wisdom in the underworld. His strange intuition told him that

Bao Yu was definitely not simple.
With a thought, Judge Lu couldn't help but worry for Judge Hei, and said in a deep voice, "Judge Hong, keep an eye on things, be careful

of accidents."
Although Judge Hong disapproved of Judge Hei's recklessness, he still stood up, then sat back down, saying in confusion

, "Brother Lu, I don't need to go over there, look."
The three judges looked over at the same time, their eyes instantly filled with intense astonishment.
Judge Hei had pounced aggressively, flying to Bao Yu's side, but he didn't make a move, his back view appearing

incredibly calm. How could this not leave Judge Lu and the others stunned, not knowing whether to laugh or cry?
"Judges, let's watch the next match first, and then we can go on stage after they're finished, okay?"
Bao Yu stepped forward as if meeting an old friend, putting his arm around Judge Hei's shoulder, seemingly not

afraid Judge Hei would hurt him at all.
Although Judge Hei didn't respond, he nodded, and walked over under Bao Yu's enthusiastic pull.
"Do they know each other? How could this be?" Judge Sima's astonishment was extremely strong.
"You should know each other! Maybe you even have a special relationship, otherwise Brother Hei wouldn't be acting so strangely."
"Who knows!" A glint flashed in Judge Lu's eyes. With his profound magical power, he noticed something amiss. He

carefully examined Bao Yu, then raised his teacup and smiled, "Young brother, I am Judge Lu. Would you like to come over for

a drink and make friends?"
"Judge Lu? You're Judge Lu?"
Baoyu's eyes were filled with surprise. He was very familiar with the legend of "Judge Lu's Heart Transplant." He involuntarily stood up

and bowed respectfully, saying, "Jia Baoyu greets Judge Lu." Jia Baoyu? The three judges were stunned. They searched their memories but couldn't find such a person
in the Three Realms and Six Paths . 　　Before the three judges could even finish thinking about it, Baoyu had already led the Black Judge over. As the spatial distance disappeared , the Red Judge and the Sima Judge finally realized what was going on. 　　"Boom!" 　　Instantly, the three judges' minds trembled violently... This... This can't be! The Black Judge had actually fallen into the hands of this mortal boy , and it was only a change in an instant. Huh... 　　The three judges didn't want to believe their eyes, but the Black Judge's expression confirmed their guess. 　　"Young brother, are you... Jia Baoyu from the Jia family of Jinling?" 　　Baoyu recognized Ox-Head and Horse-Face as Judge Lu's confidants. Judge Lu suddenly sat up straight, even his breathing became heavy 　　. 　　"Jia Baoyu? You are Jia Baoyu, the owner of the Five-Colored Divine Stone!" 　　The Red Judge and the Black Judge's expressions changed drastically in unison, their eyes now filled with fear as they looked at Baoyu. 　　Although no demons or monsters had appeared above the Jia mansion in the past six months, Jia Baoyu's reputation hadn't diminished in the slightest; even the underworld's ghost 　　soldiers knew him by heart. With the ghosts of several demon kings still howling in hell, how could the judges not know the owner of the Five-Colored Divine Stone? 　　"It is indeed I. I am deeply grateful for the three judges' high regard. Baoyu greets you with courtesy." 　　Baoyu bowed again, his demeanor shifting from imposing to gentlemanly politeness. 　　Baoyu wasn't a reckless fool; if there was a better way, he naturally wouldn't want to continue causing chaos in the underworld. 　　As the saying goes, "Excessive politeness is never a fault." The three judges hurriedly rose to return the greeting, but the Black Judge, seizing the opportunity when Baoyu loosened his grip, suddenly roared and brandished a large sword, slashing fiercely at Baoyu's head. 　　"Brother Hei, don't be impulsive!" 　　Baoyu was still bowing when Hei Pan was right behind him, inches away. Although Lu Pan could see him clearly, he couldn't stop him in time and could only shout anxiously. 　　"Baoyu, be careful..." 　　Below the platform, You Erjie's face was pale. She wanted to help but was powerless to do so. 　　Qin Keqing also saw that Baoyu was in danger. In a moment of desperation, she rushed through the swords and shadows of the ghost soldiers . 　　Her water sleeves fluttered, and ghostly shadows flew in all directions. Unintentionally, she finally fully controlled the magic power within her body. 　　The ghost soldiers were still flying around, and Qin Keqing was still rushing forward when suddenly Hei Pan stopped, holding his knife. 　　In a flash, Baoyu was still bowing, seemingly oblivious to the murderous aura behind him, until the blade touched his hair. Only then did a protective barrier emerge from his body, silently blocking Hei Pan's weapon. 　　Before the Black Judge could exert his power a second time, the five-colored barrier had already transformed into a light shield, enveloping his body with a "whoosh." It then rapidly contracted, instantly turning one of the four judges of the Underworld into a fish in a net. 　　The sudden change happened in an instant. Qin Keqing slammed on the brakes below the platform, while the three judges on the platform gasped in unison, thinking: "Strong! This Jia Baoyu is too strong! It seems the rumors are true; he really does have a connection with the Monkey King. 　　" Facing a super-strong individual, and seemingly with an invincible backer, the majesty of the Yama's Palace rapidly faded, and even the Underworld Codex lost its luster. 　　"Lord Black Judge, please don't misunderstand. I didn't come to the Underworld to cause trouble." Before Judge Lu and the others could catch their breath, Baoyu preemptively withdrew his magic power, even bowing to the Black Judge with a smile. 　　"Brother Jia is right, harmony is paramount," Judge Lu advised, following Bao Yu's words. "Brother Hei,　　why get angry over a misunderstanding? Why not sit down and have a drink, and make friends with Young Master Jia?" 　　"Hmph, I have official business to attend to, farewell!" Although Judge Hei was impulsive and reckless, he wasn't stupid after all. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he snorted coldly and left. 　　"Young Master Jia, Judge Hei is just like that, but he meant no harm, please don't mind." 　　"Judge Lu, it was my recklessness, how can you blame Judge Hei?" Bao Yu said, "If Judge Lu thinks highly me, please call me by my name. I've long wanted to call you brother, hehe..." 　　"Brother, you're so loyal, then I won't stand on ceremony, haha..." 　　Amidst laughter, the tension dissipated, and the conflict was resolved peacefully. 　　A quarter of an hour later, Bao Yu and the three judges sat in the flower hall, exchanging pleasantries over fine wine and delicacies. 　　After a round of toasts and drinks, Baoyu, emboldened by the wine, finally got to the point: "Brother, I have a request that might put you in a difficult position, but I can't refuse it. Alas!" 　　"Brother, are you referring to the matter of Miss You's return to life?" Judge Lu, known for his keen intuition, readily revealed the truth. 　　"I can't hide it from you, brother." Judge Lu's frankness made Baoyu blush, and after an awkward smile, he added, 　　"I did come here for this matter, but I befriended you because I admire your character. I hope you won't misunderstand." 　　"Brother, you're overthinking it. I have a good eye for people, haha..." Judge Lu laughed heartily, raised his cup in a toast, and then said loudly, "Take Miss You back." 　　"Brother Lu, think it over! Releasing a soul back to life without permission will incur punishment from the King of Hell!" Judge Sima and Judge Hong said anxiously, their expressions changing drastically almost simultaneously. 　　"Brothers, my mind is made up. I will take full responsibility for this matter. You don't need to try to persuade me any further!" Judge Lu waved his hand, stopping Judge Hong and Judge Sima's attempts to dissuade him. He then smiled and said, "Brother Jia, who is this woman to you? She must be your wife!" 　　Before he finished speaking, Judge Lu looked at You Erjie, who was sitting next to Baoyu, and praised her with a smile, "Sister-in-law, I was offended just now. Please don't take offense. No wonder you are so remarkable. It turns out you have a husband like Brother Jia. Haha..." 　　A blush suddenly spread across You Erjie's jade-like face. Whether it was due to the situation or her own flustered state, she did not respond, but she "forgot" to deny it. She just tightly twisted her clothes, which deepened the misunderstanding among the three judges. 　　"Thank you for your praise, brother. Hehe..." 　　Baoyu didn't want any more trouble in the current situation. Besides, why wouldn't he take advantage of the beauty? "Hehe... Congratulations, sister." Qin Keqing whispered in her ear, teasingly asking, "Should I start calling you 'Master's Wife '?" 　　"Um!" You Erjie was initially embarrassed and flustered, but then she smiled brightly and retorted, half-jokingly:

"Good sister, do you want my help to promote you from apprentice to a higher generation? That way you won't be jealous anymore!" When it comes

to verbal sparring, how could Qin Keqing be a match for You Erjie?
Qin Keqing's delicate body instantly heated up, her jade face even redder than You Erjie's. She couldn't help but recall

the scene on the Bridge of Helplessness, and her heart pounded.
The two women, each lost in their own thoughts, suddenly drifted off into the distance.
Baoyu, on the other hand, continued to drink fine wine and engage in lively discussions, thoroughly enjoying himself.
Judge Lu was also in high spirits, while Judge Hong and Judge Sima were secretly worried. They knew

the serious , but Judge Lu
's attitude was firm, and he deliberately pretended not to see their gazes. Baoyu saw all of this and admired Judge Lu's boldness even more.
A thought struck him, and Baoyu put down his wine cup, abruptly suggesting, "Brother, I've heard that the Golden Sand Pool is a wonder of the underworld .

May I have a look?"
The Golden Sand Pool was merely a place for imprisoning new souls; what beautiful scenery could it possibly offer? The three judges were taken aback,

and even Qin Keqing and You Erjie's mouths gaped open, wondering what Baoyu was up to.
At Baoyu's insistence, they returned to the Yama Palace. Looking at the sparks flying and the surging

lava , You Erjie trembled, her previous suicidal courage completely gone.
"Indeed, a beautiful sight, haha..."
Under the bewildered gazes of the crowd, Baoyu suddenly leaped in, walking leisurely through the lava.
"Ah!"
A scream rang out from the shore, instantly filling every corner of the Yama Palace.
Qin Keqing and You Erjie's screams were merely out of concern; seeing Baoyu unharmed, they immediately shut their mouths,

but the bewilderment in their beautiful eyes only intensified.
The three judges remained speechless for a long time. They fully understood Bao Yu's meaning and had a complete

grasp of the power of the Five-Colored Divine Stone.
The Three Realms appeared at the beginning of chaos, and the Ghost Realm had its own mysterious and special characteristics. Although souls could

roam , living beings found it difficult to approach. Even Yama, the King of Hell, could not do it as easily as Bao Yu.
Powerful, too powerful! Bao Yu's power once again changed the three judges' understanding.

The eyes of the Red Judge and the Sima Judge had lost their ability to move, feeling that

it .
"Brother, I will go back and settle down for a few days. Once things are over, I will immediately return to reunite with you and also give an

explanation What do you think?"
After playing for a while, Bao Yu gently touched the head of a ghost and floated back to the shore.
"Thank you for your thoughtful consideration, brother. I won't be coy then." A grateful glint flashed in Judge Lu's eyes.

He turned and bowed, adding in a deep voice, "Brother, don't worry too much. King Yama isn't unreasonable;

otherwise, I wouldn't dare to make this decision on my own."
"Then I'll trouble you to prepare a feast, brother. When I come again, I'll definitely drink with you until we're both drunk,

hahaha ..."
With a hearty and unrestrained laugh, Baoyu, along with Qin Keqing and the other two women, gracefully flew out of the Gates of Hell and towards the entrance to the mortal realm.
Power is authority. Faced with Baoyu's absolute power, the other two judges changed their tune and even joined

Judge Lu in seeing Baoyu and the others off at the gate.
"Chapter Four" - Returning to the Mortal
Realm The mortal realm was beginning to show the faint light of dawn.
In the guest courtyard of the Ningguo Mansion, however, a gloomy atmosphere lingered.
"Mother, why hasn't Baoyu returned yet?" Madam You had looked out the window countless times, her tears

drying and wetting again, repeating the cycle countless times.
"Don't worry, he'll be back soon!" Madam You's confidence was waning; she

held tightly to You Erjie's stiff body, her eyes unfocused.
"Hehe... I'm back!" Before
Madam You's words faded, the dim candlelight suddenly flickered, the soft glow dispelling

the gloom in their hearts.
Madam You let out a sharp cry, then, with tears in her eyes and boundless affection, she rushed towards Baoyu—and

You Erjie behind her—saying, "Daughter, you're back!"
"Second Sister!"
Yu Shi reacted a fraction of a second later than Madam You, both brushing past Baoyu.
The three women of the You family huddled together, but Baoyu, the hero, was left standing to the side.
Baoyu had expected the You family, especially Madam You, with whom he had a long-standing ambiguous relationship, to throw themselves at him, but instead,

they became the stepping stones; his outstretched arms instantly stiffened.
"Master, you're amazing!"
It's always the disciple who cares for their master. Qin Keqing approached Baoyu, her beautiful eyes sparkling with admiration. The adoration she

radiated filled Baoyu with satisfaction, making him lose all sense of time.
"Of course, your master..."
Just as Baoyu was nodding his head, Qin Keqing suddenly changed the subject, launching a quick "sneak attack": "

Master , you're just making Xichun and me meditate all day, are you just trying to appease us?" The entranced Baoyu didn't react in time and

blurted out, "How did you know?"
Baoyu thought: Sigh? No, I've been tricked!
Before Qin Keqing could unleash her resentment, Baoyu quickly regained his composure and said calmly, "Master

doesn't need to meditate now, but it's a required course for you. When I was learning the Dharma, I meditated every day

without fail, much more diligent than you. Don't believe me? Ask Miaoyu."
To cover up his mistake, Baoyu used Miaoyu as a shield. Since Miaoyu wasn't at the Jia family's house, he could stall

for time.
"Really? I've always seen you hanging out with girls, never cultivating?" Qin Keqing's eyes were filled with

suspicion and intense dissatisfaction.
Cold sweat streamed down Baoyu's back. He didn't want to tarnish his newly established glorious image, so he cunningly

changed the subject, saying, "The time is almost up. Let's take care of business first, and talk about cultivation another day."
Qin Keqing fell for his trick. The resentment in her eyes instantly turned serious, and she urged, "Second Sister, hurry back to

your body. If the sunlight shines on you, your soul will be damaged."
The You family mother and daughter hurriedly released You Erjie's spirit and retreated to the side, their hearts clenching with tension.
You Erjie, on the other hand, was calm and composed. After her journey through the underworld, her eyes had subtly changed.

She gave Baoyu a deep look before drifting back to her body, murmuring to herself, "Baoyu, thank you."

The wind carried You Erjie's gratitude to Baoyu's ears. This seemingly insignificant and plain thank

you struck him like a hammer blow, far surpassing her usual charming laughter.
Love and hate are separated by a single thought; Baoyu's heartstrings trembled, his previous dislike instantly transforming into affection. He

involuntarily replied, "I'm so glad I could save you."
Though Baoyu's tone was calm and natural, it was as if a thread had gently connected their gazes. In

that instant, the wind seemed to slow to a crawl.
You Erjie's soul drifted slowly back to her body, and their eyes met.
At this moment, there was no heart-wrenching intensity, no tragic separation, but the flickering

spark was still beautiful and moving, piercing the heart. Bathed
in the colorful glow of the sunset, amidst the tense anticipation of the crowd, You Erjie finally opened her beautiful eyes again.

In the instant her eyelids trembled, a new chapter in her destiny began.
A smile instantly spread across the faces of the You family mother and daughter, while the Jia family was quickly shrouded in gloom and despair.
Once, the world had only one impression of the Jia family… a hall of white jade and horses of gold, unparalleled in splendor, the envy of all.

Now, misfortune, bad luck, and endless troubles… countless curses had obliterated the Jia family's glory.
Not long after the funeral of the Imperial Concubine Yuan, and with Jia Rong's body just buried, another shocking piece of news spread throughout Jinling.
The Ningguo Mansion had been attacked by bandits that night. Jia Zhen happened to be back at the mansion on business and, together with Jia Qin, bravely

fought off the bandits. The two brave men killed more than ten bandits on the spot, but unfortunately, they too succumbed to more than ten stab wounds.
Another "hero" was born. Upon hearing the news, the court immediately issued an imperial edict, posthumously conferring upon Jia Zhen the title of Marquis of Martial Valor.
"Pfft!" When Baoyu heard this news, he was drinking tea in the palace. He wasted a mouthful of tea,

thinking : Damn it, who made up this story? " Truly befitting a noble family, they have so many cunning advisors

...
" "Baoyu, don't laugh so loudly, be careful someone doesn't find out." Although Yingchun also disliked Jia Zhen,

she didn't share Baoyu's righteous indignation. Thinking of the series of misfortunes befalling the Jia family, she couldn't help but sigh.
"Alright, I'll try to hold it in, hehe..." Baoyu didn't want to laugh so unrestrainedly, but he couldn't suppress

the joy in his heart.
Because Jia Zhen and his son had died unexpectedly one after another, the direct descendants of the Ningguo Mansion were all wiped out. To stop

the restless ambitions of the collateral branches, You Shi decisively made an unexpected decision—to merge the Ningguo Mansion into the Rongguo West Mansion.
Watching chests of gold and silver treasures being moved into the West Mansion's storeroom, Jia She of the East Mansion was naturally filled with jealousy and hatred

. Fortunately, the day for choosing the new head of the family was approaching, so he didn't cause any further trouble.
"You brat, tell me honestly what you did in the Crown Prince's palace!" Princess Tianyi

had no interest in the power struggle within the Jia family. She leaped into Baoyu's arms.
"I didn't do anything, just taught those two disgusting little eunuchs a lesson."
Recalling yesterday's events, Baoyu remembered the token Princess Tianyi had used. He lightly raised his hand and

slapped her pert bottom.
"Hmm..." Princess Tianyi's body trembled slightly, her eyes glazed over from the slap, but

she hadn't forgotten her purpose.
"You brat, I don't care about the little eunuchs. Tell me honestly what you and Li Zhier did. Did you cuckold

this princess?"
Baoyu rolled his eyes, while Yingchun blushed deeply.
Baoyu raised his hand high again, about to strike hard, when Tianchang rushed in,

reporting , "Princess, the Crown Princess has barged in, saying she's here to capture Xiaobaozi."
"Hmph, dare to steal my man? Dream on!" Princess Tianyi's fighting spirit surged instantly, and

she jumped out of Baoyu's arms.
Baoyu quickly grabbed Princess Tianyi, saying in a deep voice, "My little darling, stop fooling around. Don't you want me to treat

the Empress's illness?"
"This…" Princess Tianyi tilted her head, blinking her crescent-shaped eyes, and began to think seriously.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way for me! Hand over Xiaobaozi, or I won't be polite!"
Soon, Li Zhier's voice entered the room, and a series of chaotic footsteps grew closer. Although

Dijiu was dutiful , she was still forced to retreat.
At this moment, Princess Tianyi rushed out, saying fiercely, "Li Zhier, you want to quarrel with me?

Humph, Xiao Baozi isn't here with me."
"Nonsense, he disappeared early this morning. If you hadn't taken him away, how could he have suddenly disappeared?"
Princess Tianyi and Li Zhier glared at each other across the courtyard gate, like two beautiful little hens. Behind

them, their respective trusted maids made menacing gestures, but they weren't as

serious , their trembling lips barely suppressing the urge to laugh.
For the sake of "Xiao Baozi," Li Zhier finally overcame her fear of Princess Tianyi's fists and feet, and bravely approached.

The distance between Li Zhier and Princess Tianyi grew closer and closer, and her sleeves rose higher and higher.
"Crown Princess, this servant is here."
Suddenly, Baoyu's voice came from outside, timely resolving the quarrel between Li Zhier and Princess Tianyi.
Princess Tianyi naturally took the opportunity to ridicule Li Zhier, while Li Zhier was overjoyed to have found Baoyu and, unusually

, didn't retaliate. She immediately returned to the East Palace in high spirits.
"Little Baozi, where have you been? And why did I suddenly fall asleep last night?"
"Your Highness, you probably played too hard yesterday, so you fell asleep without realizing it. I got up early this morning,

and being bored, I wandered around for a bit, but I got lost, hehe..."
Baoyu stood lazily in front of Li Zhier, casually making up a flimsy excuse.
Li Zhier didn't doubt him at all. After a few laughs, she abruptly changed the subject, bringing up an old topic:

"Little Baozi, you still haven't answered the question I asked you last time. How exactly do eunuchs become men who aren't men?

And how do they find wives?"
"Ah?" Baoyu's jaw dropped rapidly, and it took him several seconds to straighten up before cautiously

asking, "Your Highness, do you really want to know this?"
"Of course!" Li Zhier nodded vigorously, and influenced by Baoyu's tone, her eyes also

became serious, as if it were a huge secret.
"You really want to know?" Baoyu's tone became even more solemn.
"Really!" Li Zhier nodded with even greater determination.
"Then... I really have to tell you." At this moment, the last vestige of conscience in Baoyu's heart stirred.

Li Zhi'er, however, showed no appreciation for Bao Yu's "conscience." She poked Bao Yu's forehead with her slender white finger, playfully scolding,

"You little brat, hurry up and tell me! Stop nagging!"
If this scene were seen by outsiders, wouldn't it look like flirting?
"I...I'd better not tell you." Li Zhi'er's poke completely shattered Bao Yu's weakness. His heart fluttered,

but his expression was completely different, filled with worry as he said, "If I tell you, I'll be beheaded. Forget it, I won't say it."
"Sigh, you're not acting like a man at all! Tell me, I won't be angry!" The more Bao Yu hesitated, the more

interested Li Zhi'er became.
"Then I'll really tell you, eunuchs actually..."
Li Zhi'er's heart skipped a beat, and she involuntarily pricked up her ears, but Bao Yu suddenly stopped again.
"Sigh, I can't explain it clearly right now. Let's go to the room; I have a good way to make it easy for you to

understand."
Baoyu's voice was slightly hoarse. He bravely wielded his hoe, digging a beautiful trap. Although he was sweating profusely

, he enjoyed it immensely.
A spring breeze blew, and two figures entered the future Empress's boudoir.
"Your Highness, the reason eunuchs become eunuchs is because...because..."
Although he had made up his mind, and Baoyu was known for his thick skin, he still stammered at this moment

. After pausing several times, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Because when eunuchs enter the palace...they are castrated!"
"I know eunuchs are castrated, but I just don't understand what castration means, you idiot!"
Sigh...it seems I have no choice but to explain it clearly! Baoyu steeled himself and finally uttered the

eternal : "It refers to the fact that a man's 'thing' has been cut off."
"That thing? What do you mean by 'that thing'? I don't see you missing anything!" Li Zhier's

dissatisfaction intensified, and she added resentfully, "You're really stupid, how come you can't explain it clearly?"
How could this be? Was he really stupid? Baoyu couldn't help but doubt himself, and then, to uphold his male

dignity, he had to coax her gently, "That thing is... the thing you had when you and the Crown Prince consummated your marriage,

the thing that grew between the Crown Prince's legs."
While struggling to explain, Baoyu even gestured the shape with his hands, but Li Zhier's dissatisfaction only intensified.
"Hmph! You idiot, I've never seen the Crown Prince with anything like that. Be smart and explain

clearly , don't try to fool me, otherwise..."
Never...never seen it? Wow, wow, wow! No way, is that possible? Heavens! A massive wave of emotion swept over

Baoyu's heart, leaving him utterly shocked. Aside from his wide-open eyes and drooping jaw, he remained unresponsive.
"Hey, hey, hey..." Li Zhier first called softly, then finally shouted into his ear, rousing the dazed

Baoyu. She pressed him again, "Tell me! Don't try to fool me!"
"You...you didn't consummate your marriage?" His trembling voice struggled to suppress his boundless curiosity. Men weren't

born gossipy, but they were still endlessly interested in such matters.
"Why didn't we consummate our marriage? I'm the Crown Princess chosen by the Emperor!" Li Zhi'er proudly puffed out her chest at first,

then added sullenly, "But I'd rather not be the Crown Princess, how annoying!"
At this moment, Bao Yu only cared about the first part and asked more curiously, "How did you consummate your marriage?"
"We just drank the nuptial wine and went to bed. Doesn't that count as consummating our marriage?"
Li Zhi'er's attention was also drawn to this. Her girlish instincts made her feel that something was indeed missing, but what could she do

when she had driven away the female official who was teaching in the palace before her wedding?
"Didn't you take off your clothes before going to bed?... "
" Why should we take off our clothes? The Crown Prince went to see the eunuch that night, he didn't sleep in my room."
With an invisible boom, Li Zhi'er casually revealed a huge secret, instantly turning Bao Yu

into a statue. He thought, "The Crown Princess... could she... still be a virgin?"
"Little Baozi, what's wrong with you today? You're always so silly."
Li Zhier couldn't stand Baoyu's dazed expression and subconsciously asked, "Will you understand if I take off my clothes? Is there something wrong with my

wedding night?"
"Yes!" the silly Baoyu replied.
"Oh, I see! Hehe..." Amidst the sweet laughter, Li Zhier suddenly grabbed Baoyu's collar.

Before Baoyu could recover, she had already untied the belt of his eunuch's robe.
"Your Highness, what are you doing? No!" The cool spring breeze awakened Baoyu. He looked down and

found that his robe was half undone, revealing his private parts. He was incredibly embarrassed!
"Don't move! This is an order!" Li Zhier actually used her authority as a mistress to force Baoyu not to resist,

and said fiercely like a lustful demon, "This concubine must see. You have to obey, whether you like it or not!"
"Ugh... Help! Rape!"
Baoyu cried out to the sky, but the churning clouds in the sky only swirled around, cheering.
Clothes fluttered everywhere, and Baoyu hurriedly covered his last remaining part with both hands. In his haste, he had a

sudden inspiration and said, "Your Highness, that's enough, that's enough!" "
Is that so? Then tell me quickly!"
Knowledge needs to be taught by example, but some feelings are innate. At this moment, Li Zhier felt a strange panic and

subconsciously withdrew her hands.
Baoyu was once again caught in the conflict between reason and desire. He forcibly suppressed the surging tide of passion and

explained , "Men have something here, like... a stick. This is the mark of a man, but

when he entered the palace, he was castrated, so he became a man who is not a man."
As Baoyu spoke, he pointed to his crotch.
"Oh..." Li Zhier looked enlightened, and after a drawn-out exclamation, she couldn't help but

beam with joy saying, "So that's how it is! No wonder you didn't have anything there, you were stuck, hehe..."

Baoyu smiled bitterly, while Little Baoyu was very dissatisfied, giving a strong jerk that almost revealed Baoyu's true form.
Baoyu hurriedly bent down, using all his strength to hold the disobedient Little Baoyu in place.
"Little Baozi, you're so pitiful!" The Crown Princess circled the half-naked Baoyu, then gently patted his

shoulder, her curiosity about the man's body piqued.
Baoyu was speechless and could only lower his head, for he truly was pitiful.
"Little Baozi, you're so thin, haven't you eaten anything good?"
Li Zhier's movements became increasingly skilled, "examining" Baoyu's body from top to bottom, trying her best to satisfy her

curiosity.
Baoyu secretly shed tears. This scene reminded him of when he applied medicine to Qiaojie, and he tasted

the bitterness of cause and effect. He thought: "Alas... so I, too, have been molested by a woman."
Perhaps it was a woman's instinct, but Li Zheng'er's jade-like hand skipped over the area Baoyu was covering. Her eyes darted around, and she

asked curiously, "Little Baozi, what about the bridal chamber? Why can't you consummate your marriage, but you can have wives?"

The unexpected attack struck his mind again, and Baoyu's hand trembled, the clothes he had just picked up falling back to the ground.
This is too much! This female lecher is too much! It's simply unbearable! There's no need to endure it any longer! In an instant, lust

ignited in Baoyu's eyes. He straightened up, kicked his clothes far away, and loudly replied, "Because eunuchs

have had their genitals cut off, they can't consummate their marriage. And a eunuch's wife is just for decoration at home; they can't

consummate the marriage like normal couples."
"But...but...the Crown Prince isn't...a eunuch, so why..."
Seeing Li Zhier hesitate, Baoyu, having made up his mind, quickly interjected, asking, "Does the Crown Princess

want to know how normal couples consummate their marriage?"
"Ah!"
Baoyu's counterattack succeeded. Li Zhier's mind went blank for a moment, and after a long while, she nodded with difficulty.
"This question...is also difficult to explain..." Baoyu, as before, pretended to be troubled and sighed,

"To explain it clearly, the Crown Princess needs to cooperate."
"Okay, no problem!"
The space between the two of them quietly became romantic and passionate, but Li Zhier was fearless in the

face of danger
Subconsciously, Li Zhier didn't want to live her life in such an ambiguous state. Although her girlish instincts sensed

something ominous, a warm feeling in her heart repeatedly changed her thoughts.
"Ah! Little Baozi, what are you doing? Why are you taking off my clothes?"
Two seconds later, Li Zhier's resolve was challenged. She jumped back like a startled rabbit because Baoyu

was actually going to take off her clothes. But she still knew the principle of men and women not touching each other.
"Didn't you promise to cooperate? To know what the wedding night is, of course you have to take off your clothes." The lecherous wolf

complained to the little white rabbit.
"Is that so?" Li Zhier's heart was pounding, her thoughts racing. She

couldn't help but think to herself: Little Baozi is just a eunuch, not a real man. Since he's not a man, then it

doesn't count as men and women not touching each other. Whew, that's how it is. Before Li Zhier could nod in agreement, Baoyu's hands were already

roaming over her delicate body, but it was more like caressing than undressing.
"Little Baozi, why are you undressing like this... Ah, don't pinch there, it hurts, um... Gently... Gently."

Amidst Li Zhier's lingering coquettish voice, her delicate and youthful body gradually entered Baoyu's heart.
