After Chen Jing turned to dust and scattered in the wind, Chen Hao was overwhelmed with sadness. At this moment, he was flying upward at high speed, ignoring the fierce winds that were tearing at him.

He first examined the rhinoceros horn pendant carefully. Apart from numerous scratches and a rather odd smell, the pendant had no other extraordinary features.

After putting the rhinoceros horn pendant around his neck, Chen Hao drew the Evil-Banishing Moon Sword in his hand. The blade was slender like a willow leaf, and its luster was dim; at first glance, it looked no different from an ordinary sword. The only exception was its crescent-shaped hilt, which was engraved with intricate dragon patterns.

If it were not for Chen Jing who had just said that it was for these two items that he endured a thousand and eight hundred years of solitude in the Windy Cave, Chen Hao would never believe that these two objects could be unrivaled treasures!

Chen Hao sheathed the Evil-Banishing Moon Sword, holding the sword in his hand reflectively, "In ancient times, it probably wouldn't have been unusual to walk the streets with a sword. But this is modern civilization, carrying it on the street would definitely get me arrested by the police. If only it could shrink."

No sooner had he spoken than something unexpected happened—the sword in his hand suddenly shrank to a fraction of its size, merely the size of a pen.

Chen Hao was shocked, his eyes wide with amazement, and exclaimed, "It truly deserves to be called an unparalleled treasure!"

"Big, big, big!" Chen Hao shouted at the Evil-Banishing Moon Sword. Instantly, the sword in his hand returned to its original size.

"Big, big, big!" Chen Hao continued to shout. However, after a long time, the Evil-Banishing Moon Sword remained unchanged.

Chen Hao let out a disappointed sigh, murmuring, "I thought it could grow bigger too! But being able to shrink is already quite impressive."

Suddenly, a dazzling light shone down from above his head. Chen Hao looked up; he first saw a mountain bathed in moonlight in the vortex above, and then he saw Wind Girl's face.

Immediately, Chen Hao drew the Evil-Banishing Moon Sword. After a loud shout, he gathered the Yang Energy within his body into the Evil-Banishing Moon Sword. Suddenly, the previously dull blade glittered with a dazzling yellow light.

Chen Hao was startled, wondering if it was because of the infused Yang Energy?

He raised the Evil-Banishing Moon Sword and thrust it towards Wind Girl's head.

Chen Hao emerged from the vortex with the sword, but Wind Girl turned into a gust of wind to dodge. In an instant, she was behind Chen Hao, questioning, "That's his sword, is he still alive?"

The "he" in Wind Girl's mouth was clearly referring to Chen Jing.

"He was alive before I entered," Chen Hao said.

Wind Girl's face suddenly became somber, her voice soft, "Does that mean he just died not long ago?"

"What was your relationship with him?" Chen Hao asked, "Before he died, he asked me to apologize to you."

"I don't need his apology!" Wind Girl suddenly yelled angrily at Chen Hao, tears shining in her eyes. "He hurt me so deeply back then, does he think a simple apology would earn my forgiveness?"

Chen Hao's face turned blank, wondering if the hurt Chen Jing caused to Wind Girl was emotional? What exactly had happened between them back then? Just as he was about to ask Wind Girl, she sneered first, "That girl came looking for you just now!"

Chen Hao panicked, urgently asking, "Which girl?"

"That girl who's as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal," Wind Girl still wore a cold smile, "knowing you were trapped in the Windy Cave, she begged me to let her enter to find you."

Chen Hao felt as if struck by a bolt from the blue, his face ashen, and asked in horror, "Did you agree to let her in?"

"Of course!" Wind Girl gave a sinister smile, then leisurely said, "You're so lucky, having a girl willing to die for you."

"Release her!" Chen Hao was suddenly consumed by an angry embarrassment, and the yellow light of the Evil-Banishing Moon Sword in his hand turned even brighter, shining golden.

"Don't you dare point that sword at me!" Wind Girl shrieked at Chen Hao, her face full of hatred. Three hundred years ago, it was with that sword that Chen Jing had stabbed and wounded her heart. Suddenly, she looked up to the sky and laughed menacingly, and then continued, "That girl was just as demanding! The Shadow Demon is dead, do you think I'm still afraid of being killed by you?"

Chen Hao's expression darkened, and he sheathed the Evil-Banishing Moon Sword. After letting out a sigh, he beseeched Wind Girl, "Please let me enter the Windy Cave again."

"What!" Wind Girl's eyes widened in disbelief, "You barely managed to get out!"

"Since she was willing to enter the Windy Cave for my sake, how could I possibly live on alone?" Chen Hao explained.

Wind Girl's eyes flickered with rage as she shouted at Chen Hao, "Have you all gone mad?"

"You should understand my actions," Chen Hao said solemnly, "Losing Shadow Demon is the same as my losing her."

Wind Girl had nothing to say. She, who had never ended up with Shadow Demon, very much hoped that lovers in the world could be together forever; so even if she hated Chen Hao, she was willing to open the Wind Cavern for him.

After the Wind Cavern opened in the road beside Chen Hao, Wind Girl wept, "Whether to jump in or not, you decide."

Just as Chen Hao was about to leap down, he suddenly hesitated.

Seeing this, Wind Girl let out a disdainful laugh and snorted, "What, afraid you'll regret it? Don't want to die?"

Chen Hao shook his head, his expression blank. "Before Shadow Demon died, it told me there was a woman who had always been chasing it, wanting to see its true face. But it was just a shadow, afraid the woman would leave it, so it never dared to tell the woman the truth. It entrusted me that if I ever met that woman, to pass on its message, saying that it had her in its heart."

Wind Girl's face showed shock!

After a pause, Chen Hao asked, "Are you that woman?"

Upon hearing this, Wind Girl immediately turned into a crying mess. At that moment, a violent wind started blowing over the entire mountain—her heart was crying! She lifted her tearful eyes to look at Chen Hao, shook her head slightly, and asked, "Is what you said true? Did he really say he liked me?"

Chen Hao did not answer Wind Girl's question but asked, "You knew it was just a shadow all along, didn't you?"

Wind Girl nodded.

Chen Hao smiled and said, "In that case, I can't lie and paint a falsely grand image of him."

Having said that, Chen Hao leaped forward, diving into the Wind Cavern, and the last thing he heard was Wind Girl cursing "Fool". That fool must have been Shadow Demon, Chen Hao thought.

Once he fell into the Wind Cavern again, Chen Hao rapidly descended, all the while searching for Ye Yuqiao's figure.

"Chen Hao!" Suddenly, Ye Yuqiao's voice came from his left.

"Yuqiao, where are you?" Chen Hao shouted anxiously.

Immediately afterwards, a black shadow appeared beside him, and Yuqiao emerged from the shadow. At that moment, Chen Hao was overwhelmed with emotion!

"Did you just go out?" Yuqiao glared at Chen Hao and asked.

Chen Hao did not respond but simply stared at Yuqiao, slowly stretching out his hands to gently caress her cheeks, and smiled, "Just now, I saw the Nether King's Heart, and after I shouted six words at it, it lent me its power?"

"Which six words?" Yuqiao gazed into Chen Hao's eyes, her eyes cold but filled with deep affection.

"Ye Yuqiao, I love you!"

In an instant, two bright blushes bloomed on Yuqiao's face.

Chen Hao slowly moved his head closer to Yuqiao.

Yuqiao's indifferent gaze became hazy as her hands gently wrapped around Chen Hao's waist.

After sharing a slight smile with each other, the two kissed.

It was a very long kiss!

When it ended, the two held each other tightly.

"Yuqiao, isn't it your turn to say whether you like me or not?"

Yuqiao stepped out of Chen Hao's embrace, locked eyes with him, her face flushed, and slowly opened her mouth...
