Realm of the Night God

Xu Meijing's soul-refining cauldron has already been refined for about half, this is what Yang Haoran saw with his own eyes, and Xu Meijing also told Yang Haoran that before the end of next year, she will let her soul-refining cauldron be successfully refined.

Yang Haoran of course does not doubt Xu Meijing's words, because he has absolute confidence in Xu Meijing's abilities.

It is precisely because Yang Haoran believes that Xu Meijing will refine the soul-refining cauldron before the end of next year that he has some worries in his heart at the moment.

The amount of souls Xu Meijing submitted this year is too small, which is very likely because she has retained the souls for future refining of soul pills.

In fact, this kind of approach is not a problem after all, after all, Yang Haoran himself has also done this, but he has been very careful about which souls must be left behind and which souls should be submitted.

The reason he is worried is that he is worried that Xu Meijing may not be restrained and retain too many souls, which may expose her, and he doesn't want to think about what will happen to him, but Xu Meijing will definitely be in tragedy.

Yang Haoran doesn't want to see this kind of tragedy happen to Xu Meijing, so he feels it is necessary for him to give the other party a reminder.

However, in the current situation, he cannot openly raise this matter, he can only suppress the worries in his heart, and after leaving the Underworld, he will have a good talk with Xu Meijing.

The submission of souls is still ongoing, and the Underworld Envoys who have completed the soul submission have already started to look for their own betting prey.

Like last year, this year there are still other Burial Masters who have approached Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing, wanting to bet with the two, but they have been rejected by the two.

Although the two have not fully unleashed their Yin spirit power, the faint power fluctuations they emit are not too strong, which can mislead others' judgment of their strength, but the two are well aware of their own strength, and if they agree to the challenger's bet, they will most likely be the ones to lose.

"The following matters have nothing to do with us, let's go back to the mortal world and do what we should do." Xu Meijing said to Yang Haoran.

Yang Haoran nodded, as he was not interested in betting in the first place, and with something on his mind that he wanted to talk to Xu Meijing about, he naturally had no interest in staying in the Underworld any longer.

"Have you taken the customized vessel?" Xu Meijing asked.

"Yes, it was done yesterday." Yang Haoran replied.

"Do you have anything else that needs to be handled?" Xu Meijing asked again.

Yang Haoran shook his head and gave Xu Meijing an affirmative response.

After receiving Yang Haoran's affirmative response, Xu Meijing did not ask any further, and the two of them left the area where the Underworld Envoys were located, preparing to leave the Underworld and return to the mortal world.

However, just as the two of them left the airspace of the Jingling Continent, a man's voice came from behind them.

"Miss Xu!"

Although the place was very noisy, Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing heard those three words clearly, because the speaker was very close to them, just a short distance behind them.

It was obvious that the speaker was calling out to Xu Meijing.

After all, Yang Haoran's surname is not Xu, and he is certainly not a Miss, the one who fits the title of "Miss Xu" can only be Xu Meijing standing beside him.

The two of them stopped in their tracks and turned around, behind them stood a man who appeared to be only in his late twenties, handsome in appearance, with a smile on his face, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

However, after seeing this man, Yang Haoran's heart grew a little wary, or rather, a little resistant, because he was too familiar with the smile on the man's face.

This kind smile that gives people a sense of kindness, intimacy, and extreme comfort is the same smile that he often wears on his own face.

Others may not be able to feel what this smile means, but how could Yang Haoran not know, beneath this kind and intimate smile, lies treachery and hypocrisy!

In Yang Haoran's eyes, this man in front of him is of the same kind as him, and this type of person is undoubtedly a dangerous existence, and it's best not to have any dealings with him.

But from the current situation, the man in front of him seems to know Xu Meijing, and he is here for Xu Meijing.

"I thought it was someone else, I didn't expect it to be you." Xu Meijing glanced at the man and spoke in a calm tone.

Xu Meijing's face did not have a smile, but neither did she have an expression of disgust, she was just as cold as always.

"Hehe, it's been a while, you've become more and more beautiful, it really caught my eye, just now I thought I had recognized the wrong person, almost didn't recognize you." The man said with a smile.

"Judging from your words, does that mean I was an ugly monster before?" Xu Meijing's words were a retort to the man, but a slight smile appeared on her face as she said them.

"Hehe, Miss Xu, you've misunderstood my meaning, what I said is that you've become more and more beautiful, I didn't say you were an ugly monster before. With your looks and temperament, not only now, but even in the past, it would be hard to find a match for you in the entire Jingling Continent." The man said with a smile.

The man was very handsome, although not as much as Guanhai, but he was still one of the rare handsome ones, and the smile on his face not only added a touch of sunshine and approachability to his handsomeness, but also made his handsomeness less unattainable.

"Don't call me Miss, I always feel a bit awkward when you call me that, it's better if you just call me by my name." Xu Meijing said with a slight smile.

"Hehe, okay, then I'll just call you by your name from now on." The man chuckled, then turned his gaze to Yang Haoran standing next to Xu Meijing.

Although Yang Haoran was a little wary and resistant towards this man, he didn't show it at all on his face, just like the man, he also had a full smile on his face, a smile that was just as warm and gave people a very comfortable feeling.

However, compared to the man, Yang Haoran was much less handsome, and his mouth was not as sweet as the man's, but in terms of temperament, he was not inferior to the other party.

Seeing Yang Haoran, a flash of wariness appeared in the man's eyes.

Yang Haoran felt that the man was dangerous, and the man likewise felt that Yang Haoran was also a dangerous existence, but they both did not show it.

"Meijing, is this your friend?" The man asked with a smile.

"Don't call me Meijing, I feel even more awkward when you call me that." Xu Meijing first responded to the man, then looked at Yang Haoran and introduced him to the man, "His name is Yang Haoran, he's my friend, the Burial Master of Lecheng."

After introducing Yang Haoran to the man, Xu Meijing then introduced the man to Yang Haoran.

"This is Boss Huo, the boss of the Yin Yang General Store that I've mentioned to you before."

After Xu Meijing's introduction, the man and Yang Haoran almost simultaneously smiled and extended their hands to each other, but Yang Haoran's speed was a bit faster than the man's.

As their palms clasped together, the smiles on both their faces became even more pronounced, but the wariness in their hearts also increased significantly.

"Brother Yang, it's a pleasure to meet you, I've heard Meijing say before that she doesn't have many friends, I didn't expect that she has you as a friend. I'm really envious of you, in her eyes, I'm probably only a little better than a stranger, not even a friend, but I've always considered her to be my best friend."

The man spoke with a full smile, his words full of flavor, self-deprecating himself while also praising Xu Meijing, and also making it clear how important Xu Meijing is to him.

However, he did not change the way he addressed Xu Meijing according to what Xu Meijing had just said, he still used the slightly intimate "Meijing" to call her.

"Hehe, it's a pleasure to meet you, Boss Huo."

Yang Haoran was a bit surprised by the man's identity, he hadn't guessed beforehand that the man in front of him was the boss of the Yin Yang General Store, but he didn't show it on his face.

And in this first handshake and mutual introduction, Yang Haoran didn't say as much as this Boss Huo, he just smiled and greeted him, without saying anything else, nor did he respond to the other party's words.

Yang Haoran's unwillingness to say more to Boss Huo was partly to express his own attitude towards the other party.

And the reason he didn't want to respond to the other party's words was to avoid revealing more information while also expressing his attitude.

As the words faded, the two of them simultaneously released their hands, but the smiles on their faces did not diminish at all from the handshake, they were still as full as before, it felt like old friends who hadn't seen each other for years, full of surprise and affection.
