“Are you done yet? I’m coming in?”

“Is there anyone else?”

Facing Hu Ji, whose eyes widened in surprise, Jiang Lu replied thoughtfully: “Uh… Come in.”

Lucifer pushed the door open and saw that he was holding a thick leg in his hand and dragging a person as big as a mountain who had fainted behind him.

As soon as she saw the man, Hu Ji rushed over and said, “What’s wrong with you? Wake up!”

Lucifer watched this scene in silence, then turned to ask Jiang Lu: “Is it too much for us to play like this?”

“……” Jiang Lu held his forehead: “This is a misunderstanding.”

“Yes.” Lucifer nodded: “This is a misunderstanding, it’s all coincidence. In fact, I didn’t intend to come in person. It can only be said that the timing of his return was not very appropriate.”

“What the hell!”

Jiang Lu pulled Lucifer aside and explained to him everything that had happened before at a very fast speed.

“Ah? This is how they turned the tables? So easy?”

Lucifer blamed Jiang Lu instead:

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I wouldn’t have messed with him if I had told you earlier. I’m also worried that he would come in and see you doing this to his wife and refuse to cooperate with us no matter what.”

“Haven’t we all had a fucking party together? If I did this or that, would it be possible for no sound to come out? Can you use your brain and think about it?”

“I must be crazy to have nothing to do but listen to your noise. My attention is all on the outside. I blocked out all the noise in the yard. So, I am wrong to respect your privacy?”

“Okay, okay, okay, that’s my fault, okay?”

“It was your fault in the first place.”

The quarrel between the two even drowned out Hu Ji’s crying, and she finally couldn’t bear it anymore.

“Stop arguing! Can you please go see how he is doing first?”

“It’s okay, I’ll wake him up.” Lucifer stepped forward and took out his ancestral thermos from his pocket. As soon as he opened the lid, a foul smell came out.

He just put the thermos cup in front of An Dan’s nose and shook it. The next second, An Dan actually sat up.

“where am I?”

“Just smelling it can bring the dead back to life?!” Jiang Lu was shocked.

Seeing the evidence in front of him, he had to believe that what Lucifer drank was a health supplement.

“You are at home.” Hu Ji held An Dan’s head, which was as big as an iron pot, and comforted him gently: “It’s okay, it’s okay now.”

An Dan nodded absentmindedly, and then suddenly his eyes became fierce: “You are…”

When he saw Lucifer’s appearance in the room, he suddenly became nervous: “It’s you?!”

An Dan’s heart sank.

He was a bystander of the entire meeting during the day and knew how serious the conflict was between Hell and the Underworld. It certainly couldn’t be a good thing that Lucifer came to his door in person at this time.

When he thought of the rumored cruelty of Lucifer and the unbridgeable gap between them, an uncontrollable fear arose in his heart.

He quickly got up and protected Hu Ji behind him, and asked tremblingly:

“No…Yin Di offended you, so why should you go find him? Why are you looking for me?”

“It’s not me who wants to look for you.” Lucifer shrugged, sat down on a chair nearby as if to watch the fun, and pointed at Jiang Lu: “It’s him who wants to look for you.”

“You are…”

Jiang Lu smiled and said, “You don’t recognize me after I changed my vest?”

After saying that, he rubbed his face, and in the blink of an eye he turned into the same person he was at the meeting today.

“It’s you?” An Dan vaguely guessed that the person in front of him might not be from Hell, but he still had no idea what his true identity was: “Who are you?”

At this moment, Hu Ji whispered in his ear: “He is the lord of the underworld.”

“The Lord of the Underworld…” An Dan was confused for a moment, then he thought of something and showed an unbelievable expression: “Lord of the Underworld? Are you the Lord of Yin?”

At this moment, he was so scared that he couldn’t even express it.

It would be fine if it was just one Lucifer, at most he would have some conflicts with the Emperor of the Underworld, but the Lord of the Underworld has a blood feud with the Emperor of the Underworld. He reappeared in the underworld and came to find me again. How could that be good?

“Hu Ji, oh Hu Ji, you are killing me.”

An Dan’s face was filled with bitterness, but even so, he just sighed and chose to endure it all alone:

“Master Yin, she is innocent. If you have anything to say, come to me. I only ask you to let her go.”

Jiang Lu was a little surprised when he saw this: “I didn’t say what I was going to do to you.”

“Stop pretending.”

An Dan waved his hands, looking determined:

“The Yin Emperor usurped the throne and cut you into pieces. Over the years, I have served under him and helped him do many things. I am also his confidant. You come to me now, aren’t you going to start the settlement?

I finally understand. No wonder there are two true gods in hell. It turns out one of them is you.

After seeing what you did today, I know I can’t beat you. As long as you let her go, everything is fine. I accept it. But if you… I will try my best to win even if it costs me my life.”

At this moment, Hu Ji seemed to see again the high-spirited An Dan of the past. For her sake, he forced himself to be strong again, which moved her deeply.

However, An Dan’s words also made her very anxious.

Isn’t it intentional to provoke Jiang Lu by exposing his past? If he really gets angry, wouldn’t that be terrible?

So she quickly stopped An Dan: “Don’t say anything, Yin Zhu didn’t come to you for this, I’ve already told him.”

An Dan was stunned: “What did you agree on?”

“We agreed that you would help me deal with Yin Di.” Jiang Lu didn’t care about An Dan’s threats and provocations at all. Instead, he smiled and stretched out his hand to An Dan: “What you lost, what you want to get back now, only I can give it to you.”

An Dan thought of something and looked at Hu Ji in surprise: “You… said everything?”

“Well…” Hu Ji lowered her head: “I’m sorry, but I just want to seize every opportunity. Now perhaps only Yin Zhu can help you.”

An Dan felt distressed when he saw her like this, and hugged her in his arms: “Don’t blame you, blame me for being useless…”

“So?” Jiang Lu shook his arms: “It’s tiring to hold it like this.”

I thought An Dan would accept to cooperate with Jiang Lu without hesitation, whether for himself or for Hu Ji, but what Jiang Lu didn’t expect was that he actually hesitated.

“But… maybe I can change my current situation soon… As long as I have a place in the alliance, maybe even if I don’t rebel against the Yin Emperor…”

His face was full of struggle and he was muttering to himself.

Jiang Lu understood something and shook his head disdainfully: “It seems that you have a way out.”

People are like this. Once they have a way to retreat, they will hesitate. Only when they have no way to retreat and have to burn their boats, will they show the courage to do whatever it takes.

An Dan remained silent.

Perhaps after he overcame his fear just now, he thought carefully and thought that the Yin Emperor, who now had an alliance, might not be so easy to overthrow. In addition, there were other options now…

Jiang Lu was a little disappointed. He didn’t want to be too tough, but now it seems that An Dan’s fighting spirit has long been exhausted.

He winked at Lucifer, who understood.

But just as they were about to take action, a crisp slap sounded. An Dan covered his face and looked at Hu Ji in disbelief.

“Don’t be so naive. He has transformed you into what you are now. Are you still fantasizing that he will give you even the slightest chance or breathing space?”

Hu Ji shed tears and questioned:

“He won’t let you go. How long are you going to keep lying to yourself?!”

Chapter 448 Guarantee

The slap caught An Dan off guard.

He had never thought that Hu Ji, who had always been obedient, gentle and considerate to him, would actually hit him.

What was even more surprising to him was that after being beaten, instead of feeling angry or aggrieved, he felt a sense of relief.

It was as if Hu Ji’s hit gave An Dan an outlet for all the grievances she had suffered over the years, and it seemed that An Dan’s guilt was slightly alleviated.

But even so, An Dan is still quibbling.

“I’m not kidding myself, this time there really is a chance, maybe it’s not necessary…”

“What do you mean by unnecessary? In your opinion, when is it necessary?”

For the first time, Hu Ji felt disappointed with the man in front of her:

“You are always like this. At the beginning, Yin Di lied to you and said that he was just giving it a try. He would focus on training you regardless of whether you could succeed or not. You believed him and thought that it was just a try and there was no need to refuse and offend him.

Later, he became addicted and started asking you to do more extreme things, but you thought that it would pass if you just endured it, and there was no need to make things too ugly.

Later, he started to use drugs on you and started to have people isolate you, but you still felt that it had come to this point and there was no need to give up halfway, so you continued to give in.

I just want to know, will you regret it only when your family is destroyed and I die in front of you?”

An Dan was speechless. All he could do was to comfort Hu Ji awkwardly: “It’s not that serious. No one will die.”

As he said this, he wanted to hug Hu Ji, but was pushed away by her.

“That’s just what you think!” Hu Ji kept backing away: “I’ve had enough, I’m tired of you constantly losing yourself, I’m tired of you being fooled by Yin Di again and again, he is a demon, he will never be satisfied, you know?!”

“Well…” Jiang Lu interrupted: “I have to say that there are no demons in our underworld. We usually call them evil spirits.”

“Well, demons belong to our hell.” Lucifer nodded in agreement.

But An Dan and Hu Ji ignored them.

“But at this moment…” An Dan lamented helplessly, “What about all the grievances I have suffered over the past few thousand years? Aren’t all my efforts in vain?”

“That’s not hard work!” Hu Ji shook her head and corrected him, “You are just constantly enduring the Yin Emperor’s exploitation and oppression of you. You can’t even be considered as bending the law. You are completely helping the tiger. You are being sold and still counting money for others. You actually think this is hard work?”

An Dan’s heart began to waver.

He had thought about the facts that Hu Ji said, but he had no way out.

He is not like Jiang Lu, who has so many awesome friends willing to help him. His entire social circle is controlled by Yin Di.

He is not like Jiang Lu, who has such a strong aura of a protagonist. He does not have the ability to always get things done, nor does he have the luck to make everything around him revolve around him.

He is not even like the Yin Emperor before he seized power and usurped the throne, with clear goals and firm beliefs. Faced with choices, he always hesitates, often abandons his original ideas, is unwilling to take risks, and is content with the status quo.
