THE EMPRESS OF THE KING OF HELL

THE TRUTH BEHIND THE STORY

*Episode Earlier...

" Unless we use all our strength and sacrifice something that will affect either our strength or physique!! ", the answer is sure.

" What did Yun'er sacrifice? ", confused while thinking.

" OUR SOULS!!! ".

"....!!! ", surprised.

......................

" What do you mean by that... QIN XUAN!!! ", angry but also sad.

" Did you remember when Yun'er was arrested and whipped by officers?!! "

" Yes, I remember!! ", he answered with a serious face.

" When Yun'er received the whip, I felt the same pain!! "

" I think it's just my feeling. Since I love Yun'er too much, even I can feel the pain she feels... "

" In fact, I feel pain. And when I looked at my back, I saw a red mark like a lash mark but not too severe, it's just that the pain was as painful as the skin of my back was peeled off "

" At that moment, I realized something was wrong with my body... "

" After I checked what happened to my body, I felt something different. And, whenever I closed my eyes, I always saw Yun'er with a weak body covered in wounds with blood all over her. "

" Since I only saw Yun'er the money was wasted, so I headed to the prison to check it out "

" When I got there, I saw Yun'er's body filled with blood stains, especially on his back ".

*Rememberment in the Past

• the Demon Clan (underground prison)

" STOP!!! ", said King Xuan, from behind.

those who heard the voice looked back

" Your Majesty!! ", Song Ji'an said, softly

" YOUR HIGHNESS GREETINGS!!! ", greet them while kneeling.

The weak Yun'er with a body full of blood and both hands and feet tied with iron chains, only raised his head when he heard a familiar voice

" That... Your majesty!! ", trembling.

King Xuan only saw Yun'er standing with both his legs and hands tied with iron chains with a body and face full of wounds and blood. He continued to look at Yun'er with a sad and angry face

" Your Majesty... are you.... are you injured.... or.... does...your back.... feel pain?? ", asked the weak Yun'er.

"....!!! ", Xuan was surprised by Yun'er's sudden question.

" Shut up!! What do you mean by "His Majesty is hurt"!? If it wasn't for you, Your Majesty wouldn't have been hurt!! ", Song Ji'an snapped.

" How does he know my back hurts? "

" Your Majesty! You're okay, aren't you?! What did he say was not true!? "

" He said if we whipped him strongly, then Your Majesty will also feel pain!? That's not right, Your Majesty!? ", he made sure anxiously.

" ... ", the man just kept silent as he continued to stare at Yun'er.

" Tell me. what... "

" What Song Ji'an said is right! That you... well...just.

" SHUT UP!!! You just want to protect yourself under His Majesty's name, don't you? ", he snapped again.

" YOU SHUT UP!! ", Xuan snapped, furious in a high voice.

King Xuan then approached the weak Yun'er for punishment. Then, he touched Yun'er's cheek and said...

" Yun... How do you know my back hurts?? ", gently.

" Is.... like... being flogged?? ", he asked again with a tone of speech getting weaker.

" Hmm...!! ", nod.

Hearing Xuan's reply made her tears that had been bottled up ever since she received the lashings rush down her cheeks, and hit Xuan's hand. Looking at Yun'er's tears, it made Xuan panic and dismay.

" Yun!!! What is?! Is the punishment too painful?! Is that whip wound really painful?! I will have the healer check it out!! ", he said in panic and anxiety, while opening iron chains on Yun'er's hands and feet.

" Xuan.. I'm sorry! I... I'm the one who hurt you...!! I shouldn't have given it to you!! I'm sorry!! I'm sorry!! ", he said with the condition getting weaker.

" What are you saying?! ", he said a little surprised, removing the iron chain that was in Yun'er's hands.

" I'm sorry...!! I'm sorry... Xuan...!! ", stammering.

" Don't talk anymore! I'll take you to habib. ", sustain the weak Yun'er.

" Xuan!! Is.... do you... want... forgive..... me...?? ", looking at King Xuan.

" Yes, I'll forgive you! But now that we have to see the healer, you should be fine. ", carrying Yun'er.

" But.. I. don't. deserve...forgivable." she smiled bitterly.

" I won't forgive you if something happens to you. Because of that, you have to be okay for me to forgive you... Understand!!! ", he answered, as he walked to his room.

"...(smile)... Your Highness... can I.. ask you something... (uhuk...uhuk....)? ".

" Say!! Whatever your request I will fulfill, as long as you can keep smiling and be fine... ".

" If anything happens to me... Please.. (uhuk... uhuk.) please don't tell my sister. He still has to do the job you gave him, I don't want to. (uhuk.... uhuk.) he came back.. before finishing his job... ".

" I don't want to be his burden.he... must succeed.... in his duty. (uhuk.... uhuk....) It can be, Your Majesty. (uhuk...) ".

" Don't talk so much!! ", he gently snaps.

" You're gonna be okay, okay?!! ".

" i... Implore... Qin'er?! ", he said looking at Xuan with a parched face.

"...(stunned)... Alright, alright!! I will fulfill your wish, SATISFIED!!? ", he was upset.

" This woman, at a time like this, can also use a parched face to plead. ", she said inwardly, upset.

"...(smile)... Thank you.. and. (reaching Xuan's face)... Excuse me... Qin!! " , shed tears.

Being too weak and drained of energy, Yun Mi'an fainted in Xuan's arms as he was about to be brought to the royal physician. His hand that was about to reach Xuan's face instantly fell down before he managed to touch it

It made Xuan suddenly feel a piercing pain in his chest, suddenly coughing up blood

" Ughhh!! Uhuk...uhuk...!! What happened to me...?! I am not injured or have any disease, but why can I cough up blood?! And...why does my chest hurt...?!", she said inwardly, confused.

However, he ignored the pain and preferred to pay attention to the unconscious Yun Mi'an in his arms

" Yun...!! Yun...!! You heard me, didn't you Yun'er!! Yun'er answer me!! MIA!! ",unresponsive.

" YUN MI'AN YOU SHOULD BE FINE!! THIS IS AN ORDER FOR YOU, UNDERSTAND!! ", keep looking at the silent Yun Mi'an unresponsive.

Looking at Yun Mi'an who closed her eyes, made Xuan stare silently at Yun Mi'an who had not responded to her call

" His Majesty? What the hell happened to you? Why are you coughing up blood? I'm sure, this must all be the work of Queen Yun Mi'an?! You were fine before you carried him, now you cough up blood after you carry him. ", he provoked.

" RIGHT!! ", the cheers of the prison guards.

" right! Your Majesty, this must be Queen Yun Mi'an! He who set you up to go to the eternal snow mountain, now he wants to kill His Majesty before us!! ", said one of the people who plotted with Song Ji'an, trying to demonize Yun Mi'an.

It caused Xuan to be ignited with emotion, Qin Xuan's killing aura was now growing stronger. Instantly, small fangs appeared around his teeth. And one of his eyes was bright red. Fires of rage emanated from his eyes, then he turned his head and stared intently at the subordinates who were whipping Yun'er

" HEART UP!!!! ", he nodded with a loud voice.

" He is still a "His Majesty", only the higher-ranking ones can call him without "His Majesty" and that person, only ME!! ", rebuke him with a sharp look.

" UNDERSTAND YOUR MAJESTY!! ", said the guard and Song Ji'an, trembling in fear while kneeling.

" If anything happens to Queen Yun Mi'an. I will eliminate all of you!! ", rebuke him with a deadly look.

The creepy look made them tremble in fear. No one dared to stare at the King of Hell back then, they just lowered their heads in fear.

Xuan walked back, but he suddenly stopped and glanced at Song Ji'an

" AND YOU!!! ", looking at Song Ji'an.

" If all these things are related to you!! I swear in this underworld, there will be no more Song family. "his gaze intimidates the strong.

Song Ji'an who saw Xuan's gaze, trembled in fear for him. Sweat poured down on his body, and his breathing was unstable, then he took a step back so as not to be too depressed by the aura Xuan exuded

Then, Xuan again continued his footsteps towards the king's room to treat Yun Mi'an

" So.... that...?! What was that... Xuan?! ", trembling, and afraid.

" Is he Qin Xuan?! The feared ruler of the underworld the 5 great realms, which...actually!? What was it.... its true form?! That... true... true... creepy...!! ", fear.

* Xinhua Pavilion

•King's Room...

Xuan laid down Yun Mi'an's injured body slowly and carefully. However, when Xuan laid Yun Mi'an down suddenly, sighing in pain

" Ughh." Yun Mi'an said.

"...(stunned)... Yun'er?! You why?! ", anxious.

However, Yun'er did not respond to him, he just continued to sigh in pain. Then, he touched Yun Mi'an's forehead, trying to check the condition of her body. The body is so cold, but there is also a high temperature felt simultaneously. That made Xuan even more worried

" Guards!! Call the healer...no!!

Call Commander Luo here, hurry!!! ", commandments.

" YOUR MAJESTY!! ", he replied firmly.

.

.

*Some Minutes Later...

" How is he doing?! ".

Commander Luo only kept silent when questioned by King Xuan, he continued to stare at the Queen who was lying weakly with a sense of unease felt

" Luo!! Answer my question!! ", the door is firm.

Then, Commander Luo took a deep breath

" The Queen's current condition puts her life at risk, perhaps." hesitated to speak.

" Maybe what!? ", just impatient.

" Maybe, Her Majesty the Queen cannot survive that danger until tomorrow.... His Majesty ", he said firmly and confidently, bowing his head.

" What did you say!!? ", stunned and worried.

" Why!!?", he asked coldly.

" He's only at the whip law! Why would it endanger him!? ", sad.

" You must be lying' right? If you spread fake news, you'll be put to death. Understood?! " strictly speaking.

" Your Majesty, I will never lie, let alone.this concerns the life of Her Majesty the Queen.", he replied also grieved.

" What's the reason!? Give me a reasonable reason!! ", the door is firm.

" The reason.. because."., ", stopped.

" WHAT'S THE REASON!!? ", he was angry.

" That's because Her Majesty the Queen lost one of her Soul!! ", answer quickly.

"...!!! ", surprised.

Xuan was only stunned by the reply that Commander Zhang Luo gave, then Commander Luo continued his words

" After Her Majesty the Queen released one of her Souls, Her Majesty has not rested well. "

" It should be, if a God or Goddess were to release their Soul, they should rest for at least a week or, at most a month." he explained.

" However, after a week of Soul release...!!Not only did she not rest well, Her Majesty the Queen instead got physical injuries and did not eat for an entire week. "

" Moreover, the soul released by Her Majesty the Queen is the Seventh Soul which is the Supreme Soul. "

Commander Luo's statement left Xuan dumbfounded

" A God or Goddess, will definitely have this Seventh Soul, this Soul is a Supreme Soul that is able to give life after death to the Deity, that is why this Seventh Soul is also called the Holy Soul.

" However, only high-ranking Deities possess this Holy Soul "

" Is this the same as my Eternal Soul?? ", he said after listening to Commander Luo's explanation carefully.

" Right, Your Majesty" he replied, bowing respectfully.

" Eternal Souls and Sacred Souls have the same level and function that is, the Seven Souls, which is the highest soul level. What distinguishes it is only the origin of its owner, since Her Majesty the Queen is from the world of Gods, the Supreme Soul is called that of the Holy Soul whereas Her Highness who is from the Underworld or the Demon Clan is called the Immortal Soul. "

" I don't know why, and what reason makes Her Majesty the Queen willing to give up her seventh soul.

"...(stunned)...!! What don't-don't...?! ", he whispered, remembering something.

" Xuan.. I'm sorry! I... I'm the one who hurt you...!! I shouldn't have given it to you!! I'm sorry!! I'm sorry!! ", recalling the words of Yun Mi'an while imprisoned.

" What does he mean by "Give" that...is his soul?? But why??! ", thought.

" Your Majesty." call Commander Luo.

" Say ", look at Commander Luo.

" There's one more thing I have to tell you. This concerns the life of Her Majesty the Queen.

" What!? ", cold, with his poker face.

" His Majesty the Queen." hesitated.

" I'm Exposed to Cold Poison!! ", Commander Luo said, venturing out to continue despite the fear.

" Cold Poison? ", he said with a lethargic face.

" ...!!! ",pleasantly surprised.

" How is it possible? Why was Yun'er exposed to cold poison? He did not touch the Blue Crystal Flower...?! ", Xuan asked confusedly.

" Slave doesn't know for sure?! Clearly, Her Majesty the Queen was exposed to a cold poison after the release of her Seventh Soul. ", she replied assuming.

" That's just your assumption, "" she said coldly.

" I'm sorry if I sassy Your Majesty.. "

" As far as I know, if a high-ranking Deity like Her Majesty and Her Majesty the Queen were exposed to cold poison, it would not be too severe to have a Seventh Soul. However, if exposed to the cold poison after the loss of his seventh soul, then, ", pause for a moment.

" The cold poison will endanger the life of the sufferer.

" And I have the assumption that, Her Majesty the Queen was exposed to a cold poison after the release of her seventh soul ".
