Chapter 199: The Underworld
After all the gifts were distributed.
Ye Xiao looked at the aloof Gurefia, then spread his arms and smiled, "Want a hug?"
After all, Gurefia is the woman behind Ye Xiao, and she is the rightful wife.
Looking at the man who hadn't appeared for a while, Gurefia's eyes were filled with resentment, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she said, "That's against the rules."
But her body language betrayed her; she gently walked towards Ye Xiao and opened her arms.
Ye Xiao smiled and gently embraced Gurefia.
"Did you miss me?"
Ye Xiao whispered in his ear.
Aside from Shizuka Marikawa, who didn't seem to understand the situation, the other four of the five people beside her helped her out of the room.
At this moment, only Gurefia and Ye Xiao remained in the room.
"I want to~"
Gurefia said softly.
Ye Xiao's lips curled into a smile. "In that case, may I ask if Madam would be willing to share a bed with the King?"
Before Gurefia could answer.
Ye Xiao picked up Gu Leifia and carried her to the room; tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

The next day, Ye Xiao sat up in bed feeling refreshed.
Next to her, Gurefia had a rosy complexion, having had plenty of nourishment last night, and was still asleep.
Because of Ye Xiao's action of getting up, Gurefia also slowly woke up.
Good morning, Xiao.
Good morning, want to sleep a little longer?
"No."
Gurefia shook her head. "As a maid, you can't stay in bed."
As she spoke, Gurefia got up.
Her beautiful figure was on full display.
Soon, she was dressed in a standard maid outfit.
"Xiao~ What do you want for breakfast?"
"Anything you do is fine."
Gurefia smiled and nodded, "Then I'll go prepare." She then walked lightly towards the kitchen.
Ye Xiao stretched and got up to wash up.
When he walked into the living room, breakfast was already laid out on the table, its aroma filling the air.
The Butterfly Sisters, the Yukinoshita Sisters, and the lone wolf Shizuka Marikawa are already at the dinner table.
"Let's eat."
"They're here."
The whole family ate breakfast peacefully.
Ye Xiao ate while thinking about things.
I've been in Esdeath's world for over a month now, shouldn't I go back to the Underworld to visit them?
After all, his beloved family members were training under his elder brother's command, so it was time to go and visit them.
After all, it's been a long time since I've been back.
"Everyone, would you like to come with me to the underworld?"
Upon hearing this, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at each other in bewilderment.
Curiosity gleamed in the eyes of the Yukinoshita sisters.
The Butterfly Sisters and Shizuka Marikawa haven't seen Kanae Butterfly and Saeko Busujima for a long time.
Similarly, all five of them were quite curious about the underworld, since none of them had ever been there.
"Okay, okay, I've never been to the underworld before! And I miss Saeko-chan."
"Yeah, I miss my sister too."
Ye Xiao nodded in satisfaction after receiving everyone's response.
"Then let's finish eating quickly, we'll be leaving soon!"
... ... ... ...
In a void, the rumble of a train echoes.
A pure white train from the underworld travels through the passage between the human world and the underworld.
Each family has its own train that leads to its own territory; this train is the train of the Astaroth family.
"Wow~ What an amazing train!"
Shizuka Marikawa looked around curiously on the train, then ran to the window to admire the scenery outside.
Sitting by the window, Yukino remarked, "So the underworld uses trains too."
"Of course, even the underworld needs to keep up with technological advancements. This train was made by my older brother and has top-notch safety features."
Furthermore, since you are among my newly recruited retinue and have never been to the underworld, you must enter through the proper route of the Underworld Train.
Following Yukino's words, Ye Xiao explained them in the same way.
Yukinoshita nodded. "This is different from the underworld I remember."
Ye Xiao: "What? What do you think the underworld should look like?"
Yukino Yukinoshita: "I thought the underworld would be a gloomy and terrifying place, full of mystery, horror and eeriness. How could there be such a modern train?"
Yukino Yukinoshita shared her thoughts.
Ye Xiao smiled and explained, "Well... what you said is not wrong. After all, a hundred years ago, the Underworld was basically ravaged by war and littered with corpses."
Things have changed a lot now.
The underworld is also evolving, with many aspects incorporating modern elements.
However, some older areas have retained their original appearance.
At that moment, the train's announcement came over the loudspeaker: "This train is about to pass through the dimensional wall."
"The dimensional wall?"
"The junction between the human world and the underworld."
At that moment, the door connecting the carriages opened, and a well-built man with prominent muscles stepped out.
"Long time no see, Abel."
"Oh, it's Brother Seraug! Long time no see."
Ye Xiao greeted Seraorg, and then the two sat facing each other.
Gurefia stood behind Ye Xiao.
Seraug looked at the other five familiars behind Ye Xiao and said with a smile, "Looking for familiars?"
"Of course, after all, the ranking game is about to start, and Astaroth can't afford to lose face with that nun fetish, not to mention they still want to be the next head of the family."
"I see. Compared to the freakishness of the Astaroth family, I have higher hopes for you."
"Abel, I look forward to battling you in the ranked games."
"Of course, I won't lose."
Ye Xiao and Seraog stared at each other.
Both men were filled with fighting spirit.
"Alright, see you in the ranking game."
See you in the rankings game.
After saying that, Seraug returned to his carriage.
With the departure of Seraug.
Shinobu and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
That man was incredibly intimidating.
"Master, that man is so strong."
"Of course."
Ye Xiao said matter-of-factly, "Brother Seraug is the man who seized the position of head of the Baal family with his own fists."
"Wow, that's amazing!" Shizuka Marikawa exclaimed.
Ye Xiao continued, "Brother Seraug is very strong, and his fighting style is more about hand-to-hand combat, but I'm not bad either. In short, I'm determined to win this ranking game."
Just then, the train's announcement came over the loudspeaker: "We are about to arrive at the territory of Astaroth!"
As the train passed through the dimensional wall.
What comes into view is the territory of Astaroth.
The entire territory is about the size of the snow country in Northern Europe, and twice the size of Gremory.
The train continued its journey.
Soon, the train slowly came to a stop, the doors opened, and a unique aroma wafted out.
Ye Xiao got off the bus first.
Stepping on familiar ground brings a sense of security.
"Uncle Abel, it's been a long time."
Upon hearing this address, Ye Xiao's face fell. "I'm only 18 years old, why are you calling me 'uncle'?"
"Latiya, how many times have I told you! You have to call me 'brother,' besides, we're not that much older than each other!!"
(My head hurts, my head hurts.)
