Insanely Pampered Wife: Divine Doctor Fifth Young Miss

If Yu Ke Luo had left on her own volition, why would she have been imprisoned in the Abyss of Hell upon returning home?

Ghost King sighed, "Now that we're talking about it, it's actually caused by the Soul Region. Over at the Soul Region, Qing Hun, the ruler, found out about your mother being in the human realm from who-knows-where. At that time, he was courting your mother. You could say that he loved your mother wholeheartedly, and wanted to restore the relationship between the Ghost Realm and the Soul Region. If he did not manage to marry your mother, he would lead his men to attack the Ghost Realm."

"It looks like his affection for my mother was fake, and merely an excuse to start a war." Sima You Yue clenched her fists. Her heart ached for Yu Ke Luo's situation back then.

"The Soul Region and Ghost Realm have never gotten along, and they've always been in battle with each other. However, they've always been on a small scale. If a war was really to break out, the ones who would be affected would be the innocent commoners."

"So you compromised?"

"Does your grandfather look like he is someone who compromises easily?" Ghost King glanced at her sideways, "At that time, I wanted to beat Qing Hun back to where he came from, but many objected. Although I didn't want to pay them any attention and was already preparing my army to fight, your mother came to look for me. She said that, since the Ghost Realm had fallen into chaos because of her, she should be imprisoned in the Abyss of Hell."

"Mother, she…"

"She was thinking on my behalf." Ghost King sighed, "When one is in power, there are some things you need to consider. I couldn't bear for her to marry Qing Hun, and she didn't want me to do something so reckless. Furthermore, those people were against the battle and wanted your mum to marry him. Even if this incident passed, they would still find ways to plot against her."

"So you agreed."

"Your mother said that she would rather keep you and your father in her memories and be imprisoned forever than be resigned to someone else. She also did not want to trouble me. Since she was so insistent, I went along with her wishes and told the others as well as the human clan that she had to be punished, so I imprisoned her in the Abyss of Hell."

That was why, from an outsider's perspective, Yu Ke Luo was imprisoned because of what happened in the human realm. And Qing Hun could not say anything about this situation, so he returned to the Soul Region.

"Soul Region, Qing Hun!" This was the first time that Sima You Yue had truly wanted to take a person's life. "However, even if what you said was true, I still have to rescue my mother."

"It's not because I'm afraid of you causing me trouble that I'm stopping you, but because you cannot go there right now." Ghost King said.

"Why?"

"Because I have no way of going near that place."

"Eh?"

"At that time, when I imprisoned your mother in the Abyss of Hell, I signed a contract with that place that I would no longer go near there." Ghost King said.

"You can't go there, but what's that got to do with me?" Sima You Yue was dissatisfied.

"Don't you know how dangerous that place is? I will not let you go there." Ghost King was angered by her and directly expressed his stance.

"You are you and I am me. You may not be able to go there, but you can't stop me." Sima You Yue was firm in her stance, "It's not like I have not made any preparations."

"Are you referring to those two men from the Underworld?" Ghost King looked at Black Shadow and Huan, who were standing not too far away.

Sima You Yue was shocked, "You know about it?"

"Others may not be able to see their origins, but am I the same as them?" Ghost King looked away from them, "Do not think that it is enough for you to have just them. The men from the Underworld are also unable to act in the Ghost Realm. For them to have acted this way means they must have already violated a previous contract."

"Huan said that the contract was that the Underworld was not allowed to meddle in the things of the Ghost Realm. However, if it had to do with my safety, they could. Otherwise, why do you think the heavenly law did not cause any trouble for Black Shadow and Huan?" Sima You Yue said, "However, I did not plan to depend on the two of them to rescue my mother."

"Based on your current strength?"

"I believe that I can." Sima You Yue said, "Yin Lin said before that I was the only one who could rescue my mother. If I do not do it because I am afraid of danger, then who is going to save my mother? That is why, no matter what you say, Nothing will stand in my way."

"Yin Lin..." Ghost King's eyes narrowed as he recalled the man that he had met before.

On the way back to the Ghost Realm, it was a man with a head full of grey hair. He stood in front of him and said with a light smile, "That child, there will come a day where you two will be reunited. At that time, do not refuse her request. She will be your hope."

Back then, he had found it rather puzzling. Thinking about it now, could this be the time that he was referring to?

"Even if that's the case, you can't go there now." Ghost King said, "You are merely at the rank of an Underworld Saint. If you want to rescue your mother, aside from the few things that you have to look for, you have to be an Underworld Paragon at least."

"Those few things? What are they?"

"Cardinal Points Divine Seal."

"Cardinal Points Divine Seal?" Sima You Yue frowned. Once she heard it, she knew that it was not your average item.

"Cardinal Points Divine Seal is a seal made up of four identical parts. Apart from having North, South, East and West carved on the bottoms respectively, each one of those divine seals contained a different power. If they are assembled together, they have the power to move heaven and hell." Ghost King explained.

"Why do I need the Cardinal Points Divine Seal to rescue my mother? Could it be that I have to use the power of the Cardinal Points Divine Seal to break the seal?"

"In the beginning, the seal used was not one that was difficult to break. However, who knows when those from the Soul Region acted and they changed it to an ancient seal. Furthermore, that seal can only be broken by the Cardinal Points Divine Seal."

"Where is the Cardinal Points Divine Seal?"

"Before your strength has reached the rank of Underworld Paragon, I will not tell you where the Cardinal Points Divine Seal is." Ghost King was firm on this point, "If you want to hurry up and save your mother, you have to do your best to cultivate and break through quickly."

Sima You Yue stared at him. However, this time, he completely refused to be moved. This was his bottom line. Even if he agreed to her rescue of Yu Ke Luo, he would not casually let her get into danger.

Wu Lingyu, Black Shadow and Huan stood rather far away and watched as she talked with Ghost King. they did not know what she said, but could tell that she was mad. She was also hurt, and helpless. After a long moment, she walked over to them and said to the three of them, "I want to follow him to the Imperial Capital."

"Have you decided on it?"

"Mm."

"Then let's go. In any case, you were prepared to head to the Imperial Capital earlier on."

Although they thought that she would directly head to rescue Yu ke Luo after finding out where she was imprisoned, since she had made the decision, they would naturally support her.

"He said that, before I broke through to the ranks of Underworld Paragon, he would not tell me where the Cardinal Points Divine Seal is as well as the location my mother has been imprisoned." Sima You Yue even looked at his way in a fit of pique as she said this.

"Since there are conditions, it proves that he's doing it for your own good." Wu Lingyu.

Sima You Yue sighed, saying, "I know. It's just that after knowing the truth of things, I feel rather upset.. I wonder if father would be able to handle it once he finds out."
