The God that watched over Death, Ruler of the Underworld; Beneath those deep black robes, his physical body did not have the warmth of a living being. It was cold as ice. Having learnt from his previous experience, when he hugged the youth’s warm body this time, he carefully restrained his own aura and used his power to falsify a bit of body temperature for himself.

Even so, his body was still very much lacking in warmth.

“In the future, don’t casually control the bodies of the BOSS in the dungeons. If you really have to, remember to lower the pain sensitivity,” Turning his back to him, Gu Yan rubbed the wrist area of the black-robed Death God.

Only after pulling the other’s long and wide sleeves up a little and seeing that the grey skin was finally free of red marks, Gu Yan, at last, felt relieved.

If his lover was always controlling the bodies of the BOSSES in the dungeon, wouldn’t his daily routine in the future have a high chance of becoming just…

Eating, sleeping, and abusing his family’s Qiuqiu?

Thinking of this point, Gu Yan suddenly lowered his eyes and raised his hand to pat the head of the black-robed Death God before him.

Unlike his elegant and handsome face, which was rather cold, the dark hair of the Underworld BOSS was unexpectedly soft and pliant. It felt very good to touch and stroking it was like touching the highest quality of silk.

The Death God’s eyes which were originally dull and pitch-black, now clearly reflected the appearance of the youth in front of him. Towards the youth’s demand, he nodded and agreed in a low voice.

He was only agreeing to the latter half of the request.

Bringing the youth and sending him back up to the Palace Hall, the Master of the Underworld easily restored the destroyed temple back to its original appearance. Now, no trace of any previous damage could be found.

“I want to bring Ah Yan to visit the Inner City of the underworld.” After finishing up the restoration of the Palace, the BOSS of the Netherworld narrowed his eyes and told him softly.

“Inner city?” The unfamiliar words caused Gu Yan to blank, and he couldn’t help but ask.

This was a place that even he, the author, did not know about. Going through his memory, Gu Yan really could not think of any information pertaining to this ‘Inner City’ of the underworld.

“En.” The Death God nodded. His handsome face, usually stone-cold was exceptionally soft and gentle towards the youth.

The Netherworld dungeon that players entered was merely the outermost area of the underworld, and the inner city was one of the places created by the highest existence that dominated the entire virtual world. Players had no way of entering.

Gu Yan did not think too much and quickly agreed. But before that, he looked towards the entrance of the temple and saw that it was empty.

“They are only ‘bodies’ made of data. They can be easily added or deleted. Ah Yan, you don’t need to mind them.” Realizing that the youth was still worried about his previous body, Asa lowered his head and explained

In this virtual world made up of data, he was no different from the God that created this world.

The inner and outer regions of the Netherworld were separated by a void. After being teleported into the inner city, a gloomy and silent palace stood before Gu Yan. The surrounding illumination came from the floating soul lights, and all that could be seen around them were ‘???’ names displayed in red.

The terrifying undead creatures that appeared in the courtyard of the palace were different from those of the outer region. Although they had greyish-white skin and freezing body temperatures, their appearance resembled mostly that of a human’s.

“God…?” In the face of the two figures that had suddenly appeared, all the undead in the courtyard ceased their movements. Apart from the familiar pressure bearing down on them, they also felt the warm breath of a living human.

Their king had brought back a living human being, and was even holding him in a rather intimate position—

Gu Yan quickly discovered that the NPCs here had relatively similar mental capabilities as normal people.

Originally, these undead creatures were in a red state of hostility towards him. Taking another look, they were now a neutral yellow. This meant that they would not actively attack him.

Not given any time to react, Gu Yan only felt something cool and soft brush against the ring finger of his left hand. By the time he moved his line of sight down, the Death God next to him had already slipped a signet ring on his finger.

At the same time, the titles above the NPCs’ names changed from yellow (Neutral) to green (Friends).

The undead in the courtyard had gone through a myriad of expressions over this short period of time. In the end, they bowed their heads to the human, showing the highest level of courtesy.

The cold-faced Underworld BOSS appeared to be quite satisfied with the reaction of his subordinates and gave an almost unnoticeable nod. In the next second, these high-ranking souls felt the powerful pressure on them gradually vanish. When they raised their heads, the dark figure who had made the air freeze was gone along with the human’s breath that subsequently faded away.

The high-ranking souls in the courtyard looked at each other in dismay. They could see the stunned and baffled expressions on each other’s faces.
