My heart was thumping. After I rolled into the Netherworld, I stood up, tugged on Jungkook, and asked, "The pervert just smiled at you! Has...he set his eyes on you?"

This question didn't get an answer. Instead, Jungkook grabbed my skirt and asked, "He hit you! Do you only know how to be beat up?! Whenever you fight with me, aren't you really brave? Why didn't you resist? Why didn't you dodge?! Is your brain just full of cow dung?!"

I was scolded by his inexplicable rage.

"Why are you so furious? If I really could resist, do you think I'd be stupidly beaten like that? If I was able to dodge, would I really just stand there? Do you think I really wanted to die?"

In my opinion, even though Jungkook was arrogant, he wasn't someone unreasonable. Previously, my soul had been hurt by the flamed beast. The difference in strength between me and the blond-haired man also couldn't be ignored. Even he himself had been eaten! He ought to know how strong that person was. Fighting back or dodging wouldn't happen just because I wanted to. His rage now was really puzzling.

"You didn't want to die! You soul had already been taken and you still say you didn't want to die?! You!"

He was speechless. He gritted his teeth and stared at me with an unknown expression. Suddenly, he raised his hand and put it on my forehead. The burning feeling burned for a while and then disappeared. It was him who took my soul back from that man. Jungkook hung his head. "Do you know that your soul was almost wiped out?"

Upon seeing his expression, the fire burning in my heart also disappeared.

He must've been worried about me...

He waited patiently on the other side for an opportunity to attack. He was probably angry because he wasn't strong enough...or maybe he was venting because he'd been restraining himself from showing that he was scared. That I was the one who scared him.

This was what you called an idiot who didn't know how to express himself. (totally agree)

I stretched my hand out and touched his head.

"You're the idiot whose brain is full of cow dung."

We rested for a while in the Netherworld. Then, we tidied our clothes and moods and went to Yanwang's palace. I asked Jungkook curiously, "Who was that man? His whole body was covered in evil energy. And he was so powerful. What did you encounter in that cave?"

Jungkook was silent for a while and then said, "When I was filling the hole with fluorites, he suddenly flew out from the hole. He and I exchanged some blows."

He coughed loudly. He seemed to be reluctant to admit that his immortal power was inferior to that man.

"...Because my wounds from the flamed beast weren't healed yet, I lost. But I'm not like you. Xiaoye, in the last moment, even facing death and bleeding, had closed the hole with fluorites. Evil energy won't leak from there again for two, maybe three thousand years. As for who that person was...if I'm not wrong, he must be a sinful god locked in the eighteenth floor of Hell. He took the opportunity and escaped. This matter should be reported to Yanwang. Let him search for people to solve it. Anyway, our task of filling the hole has been completed."

Hearing him say that, my heart felt happy and I said, "So, we can go back and get married!"

Jungkook's face turned red. He coughed twice and didn't answer. I happily narrowed my eyes.

"From today onwards, I'm also someone that has somebody who'll provide for me. How much money do you earn per month? Can you really provide for me? Don't say that the Morning God is as stingy as Yue Lao."
