Chapter 1813: Return to the Temple, Hades the Netherworld King
"Tomorrow, I’m going to leave this place."
Xiao Zheng said slowly.
Hearing his words, the siblings couldn’t help but be stunned.
Su Zimo was the first to recover, then asked a bit nervously and reluctantly, "Brother Xiao, are you really leaving tomorrow? But you only came here yesterday, isn’t it a bit too rushed?"
Although she knew Xiao Zheng would leave one day, she didn’t expect the day of parting to come so soon.
Su Ziwen spoke up and said, "Zimo, calm down. Since Brother Xiao has decided to leave tomorrow, he must have a reason he needs to go. Anyway, we can all meet again in the future, just look forward to our next reunion."
Su Zimo’s eyes dimmed, and she lowered her head without speaking.
Seeing this, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but sigh, then said, "Actually, I don’t want to leave so soon either, it’s just that my schedule is a bit tight. After meeting with you, I still have to find a friend."
"I don’t know how long I’ll stay over there, I must return to the country as soon as possible."
Because Leng Ruobing was heavily pregnant, he didn’t want to stay abroad for too long.
Xiao Zheng had already spent two days saving Catherine earlier. Meeting with the Su siblings took another two days. Next, he also planned to find Hades. If he stayed another day with the Su siblings, it would mean delaying his return to the country by another day.
This didn’t fit his plan.
Su Zimo was not someone who lacked understanding. Although she was still a bit reluctant in her heart, she was much better than before: "Then have a good rest tonight, tomorrow I’ll see you off."
"Just like brother said, look forward to our next reunion."
Xiao Zheng ruffled her hair and smiled without saying anything.
The atmosphere in the car felt a bit heavy because of this parting news. Although Su Ziwen wanted to tell a few jokes to lighten the mood, he himself felt upset, and in the end, was helpless.
After sending Xiao Zheng back to the hotel, Su Ziwen left with Su Zimo.
Although Su Zimo wanted to stay, with Su Ziwen beside her, she couldn’t say anything.
Xiao Zheng stayed alone at the hotel for one night.
Early the next morning, at dawn, he got up. After checking out, he set off for the Netherworld King Temple. He didn’t contact or alert anyone during this time.
Including Su Zimo who wanted to see him off.
Xiao Zheng actually disliked such farewell atmospheres, so he simply set off early. Although he knew this would make Su Zimo very sad, leaving decisively could at least spare her some tears.
After spending another day, Xiao Zheng finally arrived at the Netherworld King Temple.
Looking at the magnificent temple before him, he felt both complicated and nostalgic.
"Netherworld King Temple, intruders will die!"
Just as Xiao Zheng was about to walk into the main hall, a man dressed as a priest suddenly walked out from a side door.
He was a follower of the Netherworld King and also the Guardian of this temple.
However, when the priest clearly saw Xiao Zheng’s face, his initially indifferent expression showed a hint of shock: "It’s actually the Evil God! I was being rude just now, I hope the Evil God will forgive me!"
The priest knew how terrifying Xiao Zheng’s strength was and also knew about the relationship between Xiao Zheng and the Netherworld King.
So after recognizing Xiao Zheng, he immediately knelt to the ground.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng didn’t mean to blame him and said with a smile, "Get up, I’m different from Hades; I don’t like these cumbersome rules. By the way, is Hades inside?"
Hearing him call out the name of the Netherworld King directly, the corners of the priest’s mouth twitched slightly, then respectfully said, "In response to your question, my lord, Lord Netherworld is indeed in the temple and hasn’t gone out."
"That’s good, I’ll go in and find her." After saying that, Xiao Zheng casually walked into the temple.
The priest watched him leave and then walked back into the side door.
Inside the temple, it seemed a bit empty at first glance.
In the middle was a wide Divine Path, extending all the way to a high platform. On the high platform was a Divine Throne, and Hades was sitting there, dressed as usual.
Their eyes met, and scenes of past battles together seemed to appear before them again.
Xiao Zheng smiled.
Although Hades’s face didn’t show any smile, her gaze became much gentler: "You’re here."
Her voice was slightly cold, sounding a bit unapproachable.
But Xiao Zheng knew this was her usual way of speaking.
Nodding slightly, Xiao Zheng grabbed a chair and walked straight onto the platform. Then he placed the chair beside the Divine Throne and sat down.
This scene, when seen by a passing attendant, nearly made their eyes pop out.
Daring to sit as equals with the Netherworld King, does he want to die?
This person apparently didn’t know Xiao Zheng and was new; if it were the priest, he certainly wouldn’t show any surprise.
Hades remained as usual and didn’t stop Xiao Zheng’s actions.
After sitting down, Xiao Zheng changed to a more comfortable sitting position and then said, "I know you don’t like talking, so I didn’t expect you to chat with me. Anyway, I’ll talk, and you listen."
Hades indeed said nothing, but her gaze grew even more gentle.
Xiao Zheng continued, "This time I came to Europe for two things. The first was to rescue one of my subordinates, you might know her too, her name is Catherine. As for the second thing, it’s to see you."
"It’s been so long, I figured with no one to chat with you, you’d be quite bored."
Upon hearing this, Hades shook her head and said, "No."
She meant that even without anyone to talk to, she didn’t feel bored.
Xiao Zheng looked helpless and said, "You really are a person without any sense of humanity, and you don’t know how to be flexible. Can’t you speak a bit more tactfully? After all, I came all this way just to see you."
"You came to save someone," Hades said.
Hearing her words, Xiao Zheng’s face showed a hint of embarrassment.
Hades meant that Xiao Zheng didn’t specifically come to see her. The reason he came to the Netherworld King Temple was because it was on the way.
"That’s just mean, I genuinely wanted to see you," Xiao Zheng shook his head and said, "It should be the other way around; saving people was just incidental, coming to find you was the main reason."
Hades finally didn’t tease him anymore and lightly nodded.
Meanwhile, far away, Catherine was sneezing uncontrollably, wondering who the jerk was that was badmouthing her behind her back...
