Netherworld Tea

The aloof but soft-hearted King of the Underworld x a tearful, somewhat temperamental member of the Undying Clan

Hundreds of ghosts who should have gone to the Underworld have vanished without a trace.

To investigate the truth behind their disappearance, Rong Ruo comes to the human realm.

She is focused on solving the case, but never expects to encounter Jun Youning, the Undying Clan's leader.

Their entanglements from a century ago resurface, and he appears at her side once more.

Old affairs are hard to unravel.

When they meet again,

"Ruo Ruo, please, stop avoiding me."

"Whatever do you mean, Clan Leader Jun? I've simply been busy with official business." As soon as she finishes speaking, Rong Ruo, unwilling to keep arguing with him, vanishes on the spot before he can say another word.

When she doesn't want Jun Youning to follow her again,

"I won't hold what happened a century ago against you, but you have to do something for me."

"Ruo Ruo, whatever it is, I'll do it, even if I have to cross a sea of flames or climb a mountain of blades." Jun Youning is delighted and surprised. He hurries a few steps closer,

then catches hold of Rong Ruo's sleeve and looks up at her hopefully. "Ruo Ruo, does that mean you won't hold it against me?"

"Mm. I won't." Seeing Jun Youning covered in blood, Rong Ruo still feels so sorry for him that tears well in her eyes.

After Jun Youning is injured,

"After the incident with the escaped evil spirits a century ago, you went to the Asura Realm without saying a word, then single-handedly put an end to the matter with Jun Youning. I can't believe you've put it behind you so easily." The black-robed woman looks straight at Rong Ruo and speaks unhurriedly.

Rong Ruo's gaze shifts uneasily, and she unconsciously grips her sleeve tighter. "It's been over a hundred years, Mother."

"The matter may be in the past, but you still haven't let go of him or what happened, Ruo Ruo."
