144: Chapter 144 Ye Yun Returns

The next morning.

Waking from her slumber, Su Mingyue was suddenly struck with shock.

She looked around and realized she was lying in her own bedroom, with no one else around.

With a bitter smile, Su Mingyue tried hard to recall what had happened the previous night.

Could it be that she had drunk a few too many cups yesterday and passed out?

She racked her brain for a long time, but didn't have many memories.

Getting out of bed, she felt her head was still a bit dizzy, and her legs felt weak.

Looking at the clothes placed on the headboard, she became even more puzzled.

It seemed that as she drank more last night, she had felt hotter and taken off her outer coat in the living room; why was it here now?

Rubbing her temples, she set the dirty clothes aside and found a new outfit to change into.

Afterwards, supporting her somewhat weary body, she walked out of the room.

Arriving in the living room, she still didn't see anyone.

This was the benefit of such a large villa; finding someone wasn't such an easy task.

"Xiao Ling, where are you?" Su Mingyue called out, feeling a bit anxious.

She called out several times, but there was no response.

Just as Su Mingyue began to feel anxious, a door on the second floor swung open, and Ye Xiaoling came running over hurriedly: "Mom, what happened? Why are you so anxious?"

Seeing her daughter appear, Su Mingyue finally let out a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but scold her: "Where have you been hiding? I've been calling you for a long time without any response."

"I was following Godfather's instructions to practice calligraphy in the study. This place is so big, it's normal that I didn't hear you calling."

Ye Xiaoling looked puzzled, feeling that her mother was acting a bit strange today.

Su Mingyue gave a bitter smile.

That's right, with such a large villa and dozens of rooms, it wasn't like their old dilapidated house, where a tiny space meant you could see the other person just by looking up.

"By the way, where did your Godfather go?"

Su Mingyue asked subconsciously.

"Godfather had an urgent matter last night; he ordered someone to take you back to your room and then he left."

"You drank too much last night. Godfather said to let you sleep in a bit longer this morning, so I didn't wake you."

Su Mingyue smiled bitterly: "I did indeed drink too much; my head is still a bit dizzy."

Ye Xiaoling shook her head, putting on an adult-like demeanor:

"Mom, I know you were too happy yesterday, but there was no need to drink so much."

"Godfather said that after you woke up from drinking, your head would definitely be dizzy, so he had people in the kitchen keep some sobering soup ready at all times."

Su Mingyue didn't say anything more and, with a complex expression, walked into the kitchen.

Looking at that bowl of hot sobering soup, her heart was filled with a complex mix of emotions.

While the mother and daughter were both thinking about Chu Yuan's kindness, Chu Yuan had long since enjoyed himself at Zhou Xiaodie's residence.

During this time, Chu Yuan had not been idle.

In order to urge his goddaughter Ye Xiaoling to practice her calligraphy well, Chu Yuan had to lead by example and personally guide her.

...

As for the Protagonist Ye Yun, all the information on the Nether Palace had long been mastered by Chu Yuan.

The Nether Palace had one hundred thousand mercenaries, and just the experts at the Dark Realm level numbered in the dozens. It was truly a gathering of masters; if each person spat once, they could drown someone.

Although the name was resounding, Chu Yuan didn't pay it too much mind.

The Dragon Kingdom was a forbidden zone for mercenaries, and the Shanghai Dragon Group was already poised and ready; as long as the people from the Nether Palace dared to enter the Dragon Kingdom, he guaranteed they would be beaten so badly their own mothers wouldn't recognize them.

Taking a step back, even if Ye Yun really had the ability to bring all the people from the Nether Palace to the Dragon Kingdom.

With Chu Yuan's current strength, plus the foundation of the Shanghai Chu Family, wiping them out would just be a matter of time.

Because of this, it wasn't Chu Yuan who was anxious right now, but Ye Yun.

Chu Yuan only needed to remain unmoved to meet all changes, waiting for Ye Yun to return and throw his life away was enough.

Another half month passed, and a private jet flying from abroad to Shanghai was rapidly approaching the city.

Inside the cabin, a man wearing a black leather jacket, draped in a black cape, and wearing sunglasses, leaned quietly in the co-pilot's seat.

Looking down at the city below where he had lived for ten or twenty years, Ye Yun felt a complex mix of emotions, an indescribable and complicated feeling.

Finally, he fixed his gaze on a building that was somewhat unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar.

"Ten years. I have returned to Shanghai once again."

"Mom, Dad, Grandpa, Grandma, and the wronged souls of the Ye family who died unjustly, wait for me. Ye Yun has returned this time to find the murderers who killed you back then and to take revenge for you."

Looking at that somewhat familiar place, Ye Yun clenched his fists tightly, constantly gritting his teeth.

The killing intent in his eyes was fully displayed at this moment.

Sensing the thick killing intent radiating from the Underworld King's eyes, both Jared, who was flying the plane in front, and Katerina, who was sitting beside Ye Yun, couldn't help but tremble.

As the most powerful combat forces under Ye Yun, and as two of the four great guardians of the Nether Palace, they knew a thing or two about the matters concerning their own Underworld King.

The Underworld King had now returned as a king, revisiting his old haunts, yet he had actually thought of some sorrowful matters.

"Your Highness, the Underworld King, the Dragon Kingdom is full of masters and is guarded by the Dragon Group. Our people failed the last assassination attempt on Chu Yuan, which not only made Chu Yuan wary but also caused the Dragon Group to take notice of us."

"Now that only the two of us have followed you here, if any accident occurs, I'm afraid it will be difficult to protect your safety. Why not call over some more brothers from the Nether Palace to ensure everything is foolproof?"

Compared to the careless Jared, Katerina obviously thought more deeply.

Sensing that the surrounding temperature had suddenly dropped, she understood that this must be caused by her Underworld King being in a bad mood, so she couldn't help but carefully offer a reminder.

As one of the oldest countries in the world, the Dragon Kingdom's foundation and strength could not be underestimated; it was absolutely not something that could be compared to those small foreign countries.

Especially the Dragon Kingdom's protective organization, the most mysterious Dragon Group, which was truly a gathering of masters.

Although the Nether Palace was one of the top organizations in the overseas mercenary world, and their Underworld King was the king of mercenaries, shaking foreign lands with his prestige.

Jared and Katerina were also Dark Realm experts, and they didn't put ordinary people in their eyes at all.

But from the moment they stepped into this mysterious country of the Dragon Kingdom, Katerina still had a strange feeling in her heart.

"The Dragon Kingdom is a forbidden zone for mercenaries. We came back this time secretly. If we let our brothers enter the Dragon Kingdom openly, they will definitely be targeted by the Dragon Group, bringing us unnecessary trouble."

"Long before returning to the Dragon Kingdom, I had already done my homework. Rather than mobilizing our brothers from abroad, it is better to cooperate directly with the Dragon Group."
