Once again, Bexia "bullied" Liu Yanxu to the point of begging for mercy. Contentedly, Bexia placed the soft Liu Yanxu on the bed to rest, holding her delicate body and enjoying the fragrant scent emanating from Liu Yanxu. This moment of sweetness belonged to him alone, filling Bexia with immense satisfaction.
"Do you know the origin of the Tai Mountain Prefect Seal, my husband?" Liu Yanxu nestled in his arms and asked.
"I don't know!" Bexia shook his head. He might only know the origin of this thing, right?
"I knew you wouldn't know, otherwise why would you give it to me?!" Liu Yanxu retorted.
"You're mistaken. In my eyes, you're better than any divine artifact. Even if it were the Supreme Divine Artifact given to you, I wouldn't mind, as long as you're happy!" Bexia said.
"Who would believe you!" Liu Yanxu rolled her eyes at him. Men's words are all deceiving ghosts, but Liu Yanxu felt a wave of sweetness in her heart nonetheless.
"Then tell me about the origin of the Tai Mountain Prefect Seal?"
"Alright! But don't go back on your word after I finish!" Liu Yanxu grinned.
"Do you know what Yama was called before?"
"I don't know!"
"Yama was previously known as Taihua Shaoyang Jun, and he and Tai Mountain Prefect were brothers. Taihua Shaoyang Jun was in charge of judging good and evil, passing judgments, while Tai Mountain Prefect presided over life and death reincarnation. The two brothers together established the ancient underworld!"
"Oh! So does that mean Taihua Shaoyang Jun and Tai Mountain Prefect are the founders of the underworld?"
"More or less, but they were just the initial managers. Later, the underworld suffered attacks from outside, almost shattering it. The two predecessors died in battle until later when Mother Earth arrived, the underworld restored its order. However, the current underworld is not the same as before, and the decline in strength is severe!"
"Don't think my strength is great. In fact, it's not my own power. Because I serve as a judge, the essence of the underworld empowers me, allowing me to exert a power comparable to the creator god. But if I were to leave the underworld, I'm afraid I wouldn't be your opponent!"
"You were never my opponent!" Bexia tightened his grip on Liu Yanxu's delicate body, feeling the smooth skin without hindrance, his fingers unconsciously moving, caressing her back.
"Stop it!" Liu Yanxu shivered as he touched her, glaring at him fiercely. She seemed particularly sensitive; as long as Bexia teased her even just a bit, she could hardly resist his advances.
"After the great calamity of the underworld and the disturbance of the original order, the underworld's essence empowered all the artifacts previously belonging to the underworld gods. Obtaining those artifacts would grant corresponding power!"
"By your account, wasn't that Tai Chang very powerful before?"
"He... was only average. Although he could gain such power, the actual effect depends on the individual. Tai Chang can only exert the power of an eternal-level deity!"
"Then why did he still pester you?"
"You don't understand! Tai Mountain Prefect is the most revered deity in the underworld; no underworld creature can harm him. Otherwise, they would incur the wrath of the underworld essence. As long as he doesn't commit serious crimes, not even Mother Earth can do anything to him. Otherwise, why do you think I would do this?"
"So that's how it is!" Bexia finally understood why Liu Yanxu didn't immediately act against Tai Chang, despite being stronger. There were deeper reasons at play.
"Moreover, Tai Mountain Prefect's reverence is not just because of this. The main reason is his strength far surpasses the original Yama. It is said that he is extremely close to being a supreme god!"
"Could it be that I was right, and this Tai Mountain Prefect Seal is indeed a supreme divine artifact?!" Bexia exclaimed.
"Not quite, but as the Tai Mountain Prefect's indispensable artifact, the Tai Mountain Prefect Seal, while not a supreme divine artifact, is definitely a very powerful dominion artifact!"
"I heard that the Tai Mountain Prefect was planning to establish an eighteen-level underworld to imprison wraiths, but it was interrupted due to a calamity. The embryonic form of the eighteen-level underworld is contained within the Tai Mountain Prefect Seal. It is said that once this eighteen-level underworld is perfected, the Tai Mountain Prefect Seal will become a supreme divine artifact!" Liu Yanxu teased Bexia, "Regretting now?"
"Don't underestimate me like that! I've said it before, even if it truly is a supreme divine artifact, as long as you ask, I won't hesitate at all!" Bexia reassured.
"Oh, by the way, how did you deal with Tai Chang?"
"I imprisoned him. That guy has some background, but husband, rest assured, I will teach him a lesson for you!" Liu Yanxu's tone carried a hint of menace. Bexia observed a moment of silence for Tai Chang. Why did he have to offend someone when he could have avoided it, and a judge at that? Wasn't it asking for trouble?
"I suddenly remembered, were you using me to deal with Tai Chang? It seems that no matter the outcome, it benefits you!"
"Whether you win or lose, it's all the same to me. At most, you'll get a beating. I won't let you be in any life-threatening situation!"
"That's not a good idea!" Bexia pulled Liu Yanxu close and, looking at her face up close, said, "But it seems like I won. And not just win, but quite thoroughly. Even you lost to me!"
"You're so conceited!" Liu Yanxu pushed Bexia away, glaring fiercely at him.
"Oh! It looks like the training isn't enough yet!" Bexia looked meaningfully at Liu Yanxu, who quickly moved away, but with the bed being the only space, where could she escape to?
"Don't—" Liu Yanxu let out her final plea, then was engulfed in a wave of pleasurable voices...
