Shen Huo collapsed dramatically on the soft sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Right then, Yin Jiuxuan pulled something out from his sleeve and set it on the table.

"What's that?" Shen Huo perked up and sat up straight.

"A betrothal gift."

"Pfft! For real?"

Shen Huo quickly opened the gift list—and yeah, it really was a betrothal gift.

The Three Letters and Six Etiquettes, matchmaker rituals, ten miles of red dowry...

Most of the betrothal offerings were ancient paintings and porcelain—just the names alone screamed insanely valuable. Suddenly, that bitter medicine from earlier didn't seem so bad anymore.

"What made you think of giving me all this stuff?"

"It's what you're owed."

Shen Huo blinked, his eyes sparkling like a sly little fox. He leaned close to Yin Jiuxuan. "Does this count as... turning in your paycheck?"

Yin Jiuxuan didn't get it at first, but when he looked up and saw the boy's affectionate eyes staring back at him, he instinctively answered,

"Yeah."

Shen Huo was so hyped he wanted to throw his arms around Yin Jiuxuan and spin him in circles—but when he caught a glimpse of that cold, way-too-handsome face, he didn't dare. So instead, he just twirled around in excitement by himself like a dork in the middle of the room.

He looked like a literal kid in a candy store.

Once he calmed down a little, he sat next to Yin Jiuxuan again—then scooted even closer, clearly not satisfied with the distance.

"So, uh... can I cash any of this in?"

Yin Jiuxuan looked at him.

Shen Huo smacked his own forehead. "Right, right, guess the underworld's not that modern yet. Never mind, it's still awesome. Oh yeah, where is all this stuff?"

"In your room."

Shen Huo practically floated over to the bedroom door like a butterfly. He took a couple dramatic breaths, then opened it.

The second the door swung open, he nearly went blind from the sparkle.

The whole room was packed with jade treasures—shimmering, dazzling, glowing with light like he'd stepped into some ancient treasure vault.

"Hahaha, I'm rich!!"

Shen Huo clutched a pair of jade bowls and laughed like a total goofball.

Yin Jiuxuan, still sitting in the living room, casually added, "There's more in the guest room."

Shen Huo short-circuited from joy.

He carefully set down the jadeware and strutted back to Yin Jiuxuan, pushing the fruit bowl toward him and massaging his shoulders like a bootlicking little henchman.

"Ah Jiu, these ceramics look suuuper expensive. You must've been saving them for ages. If it's not rude to ask... how old are you exactly?"

"Don't remember." Yin Jiuxuan's gaze held something unreadable that made Shen Huo change the subject real fast.

"If I sell some of this stuff, you won't be mad, right?"

Yin Jiuxuan looked at him.

"Do what you want."

Now Shen Huo was even happier.

But then something even better happened.

He heard the sweet chime of a transfer notification—Director Wang had just paid his salary.

"Ahhh! I got paid! I got paid! And an extra 500,000 yuan? Director Wang, you're amazing!!"

Still, Shen Huo politely messaged Director Wang to ask if he'd made a mistake.

Director Wang: [You saved my life this time—not to mention the show! I should be the one thanking you. If we weren't so tight on budget, I'd have sent even more. It's a bonus. Tax-free. Keep it well!]

Shen Huo: [Kneeling emoji to the boss.jpg]

After taxes, he still pocketed over 1.3 million.

Shen Huo was in a great mood—happier than he'd been in ages. He clapped Yin Jiuxuan on the shoulder.

"Let's go! I'm treating you to a big fancy meal! Heh, we're rich now!"

Yin Jiuxuan glanced at the giant grin on Shen Huo's face and couldn't help but smile too.

That day, with a loaded wallet, Shen Huo finally treated himself to a fancy feast.

The only downside was that someone at the restaurant kept staring at their table.

Little did they know, someone had secretly taken photos of them.

Shen Huo had his back to the camera the whole time, so only Yin Jiuxuan ended up being clearly captured.

A man in a gold robe with black trim sat upright with perfect posture, his aura so commanding it was hard to look at him directly. Behind him, through the glass, was a sea of people flowing past.

Modern life and ancient presence collided—it gave the photo a surreal, time-travel vibe.

But strangely, despite the high resolution, the man's face was still too blurry to make out.

Netizens were dying over it in the comments.

Completely unaware that someone had snapped pics of them, Shen Huo returned home after eating to his heart's content, while the ever-busy Yin Jiuxuan headed back to Fengdu.

As soon as Shen Huo opened the door, Yang Yiyi appeared in the living room.

She carefully avoided the spot where Yin Jiuxuan had been sitting and made her way over to Shen Huo.

Shen Huo took a sip of his drink, then quickly flipped over the bag in his hand—a mountain of incense wax spilled onto the floor.

"Sister, I passed by Granny's shop on the way back from dinner, and she gave me some new flavors to try. Check it out—this one really smells like hot pot!"

A flicker of warmth passed through Yang Yiyi's eyes.

"Didn't think you'd still remember."

"Of course I did. You literally risked your life to protect me. This is the least I can do."

"It's already more than enough."

While Yang Yiyi nibbled on the incense wax, Shen Huo laid out his plan.

"Most of the skeletons in Ghost City have been dug up, the police have pulled out, and now tons of people are showing up just to check the place out. I think there's no need to change anything for now. I'll hire a few gutsy folks to keep watch over the hotel."

"Sounds good."

"If you're cool with it, I'll start posting job ads."

Yang Yiyi nodded.

"Oh, almost forgot—You Li's resentment was too strong. She lost control again, so the underworld had her recalled. As for Li Ge, he's confessed to everything. They're doing a live court trial later today."

"Tch, that's letting him off easy. If I'd known I'd have to choke down bitter medicine for half a month, I'd have stuffed him in a sack and beat him up myself."

"No need to beat him."

"Huh?"

"Because once the trial's over, it'll be his death sentence. And when he gets to the underworld, that's when the real fun begins. He didn't just hurt You Li—he caused the deaths of others too. The wronged spirits have refused reincarnation and already filed charges with the judges of the underworld."
