Just as Ye Yuqiao was about to speak, a dazzling white light suddenly illuminated the entire wind cave, and the omnipresent wind inside the cave abruptly came to a halt—all things stood still!

The words that Ye Yuqiao was about to say got stuck in her throat, as both she and Chen Hao were rendered immobile by the stillness inside the wind cave. It felt as if they were in a vacuum, light, suffocating and hazy!

The white light grew brighter!

Suddenly, a bruise-like night sky appeared overhead, and the soft sound of the wind began to pick up around their ears once more. Only after feeling his rapid breath did Chen Hao realize that he and Ye Yuqiao had returned to the real world.

It was Wind Girl who had released them!

"You may go," Wind Girl said coldly. Watching Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao hold each other tightly, she felt a pang of envy.

Chen Hao immediately put on a mournful expression and looked at Ye Yuqiao, thinking to himself, Big sister, couldn't you have let us out a few seconds later? Why did it have to be just when she was about to speak!

Seeing Chen Hao like this, Ye Yuqiao couldn't help but smile, raising her hand to gently pinch Chen Hao's cheek.

"Are you going or not!" Wind Girl shouted at Chen Hao, finding their intimate interaction quite uncomfortable, her heart filled with jealousy.

"Yes, we're going," Chen Hao turned and said, holding Ye Yuqiao's right hand tightly with his left. "Thank you for making this possible! But what are your plans after this?"

Wind Girl frowned and glared at Chen Hao. Seeing him holding the Evil-Banishing Moon Sword, she seemed to see a silhouette of Chen Jing in him. Startled, her eyes brimmed with tears as she asked quietly, "What is your relationship with Chen Jing?"

"I am his descendant," Chen Hao explained.

"No wonder!" Wind Girl's voice suddenly turned cold again, with a chill of resentment. "I never imagined that I would end up helping him fulfill his greatest wish in the end! It seems that everything is fate, but I can't come to terms with it in my heart!"

Chen Hao, puzzled, asked, "Why do you hate him so much?"

Wind Girl suddenly glared at Chen Hao with fury, and only after a long while did she say, "I was once a girl with long black hair, but because of him, it turned white overnight."

With that, Wind Girl turned to Ye Yuqiao and said in a tone of warning, while sneering coldly, "Miss, this young man shares some resemblance with his ancestor, Chen Jing. I hope you do not end up like me."

Ye Yuqiao's face darkened slightly, and she nodded softly without speaking further.

Seeing this, Chen Hao grew somewhat unhappy and retorted to Wind Girl, "He is him, I am me! If you say I resemble him, that just proves that we of the Chen Family have always been our own flesh and blood! Rest assured, no matter what happens in the future, I will hold her hand tightly like this, never letting go!"

Hearing Chen Hao's words, Wind Girl suddenly cried.

Chen Hao was taken aback and at a loss.

"You should leave now!" Wind Girl said sadly, as her tears were swayed by the wind she embodied.

"What are your plans for the future?" Chen Hao asked softly, "They say wind is free and unbound."

"They say that because they are not the wind," the Wind Girl sobbed. "Everyone thinks I long for freedom, but I've been drifting for so long, just seeking an end to my journey, to escape the loneliness fate has bestowed upon me. The Shadow Demon was the destination I've always been searching for, but now he's gone. The words you said just now moved me—you mentioned that if this girl were gone, you would never choose to live alone. So now that the Shadow Demon is gone, neither should I!"

Having said that, the Wind Girl looked up at the sky and let out a high-pitched, heart-wrenching howl. Suddenly, fierce winds rose on Yue Mountain, shaking the leaves violently, and from the base of the mountain, under the moonlight, it appeared like surging silver waves.

And the Wind Girl's hair, her cheeks, her very being were gradually turning into the wind. Through his Yin Yang Eyes, Chen Hao saw her Primordial Spirit and Primordial Soul slowly leaving her body, ascending towards the sky—the Wind Girl had chosen to end her own life.

Chen Hao stood by, staring blankly, imagining the scenes of the Wind Girl pursuing the Shadow Demon in the past, a joy born from freedom. Thinking of this, he turned again to gaze at Ye Yuqiao behind him, feeling a surge of warmth in his heart.

"One day, we'll surely live that kind of free and joyful life," Chen Hao silently mused to himself.

A quarter of an hour later, silence returned to Yue Mountain, but the Wind Girl had turned into specks of glittering Primordial Spirits and Souls, drifting into the night sky, like countless twinkling stars.

"It's actually quite beautiful," Chen Hao looked up and admired the sky. He was not only referring to the radiant night sky but also to the Wind Girl, this woman who dared to love and hate. "Now, it's just the two of us here, and that's wonderful!"

Ye Yuqiao said nothing but held Chen Hao's arm tightly, resting her head on his shoulder, quietly appreciating the most beautiful scenery left by the Wind Girl in this world. Only when the Wind Girl's Primordial Spirit and Soul had dimmed did she speak with emotion, "Don't you think the Wind Girl and Shadow Demon are a lot like us? They were never meant to meet."

Chen Hao's brows furrowed, sensing trouble. Ye Yuqiao's annoying sensitivity had been stirred up again, and he had to snuff it out quickly.

He turned to look at Ye Yuqiao, gripping her arms tightly, and said, "But they did meet, just like us. Why do you always think in such a negative way? If the Shadow Demon had told the Wind Girl he liked her sooner, they would have been happier together."

Ye Yuqiao squinted her eyes, her face growing increasingly sorrowful, without saying a word.

Seeing Ye Yuqiao's silence, Chen Hao continued, "So I can't make the Shadow Demon's mistake, repeat their fate. That's why I have to tell you, I like you, I love you! Tell me, do you like me?"

In the moonlight, amidst the gentle breeze, the two held each other tightly. Feeling the embrace's warmth, a clear tear fell from the corner of Ye Yuqiao's eyes. Suddenly, she was reminded of eighteen years ago, in front of the Samsara Path:

"I've said it before, if I can't find my elder sister, I won't reincarnate!"

"I can promise you one thing," Ye Yuqiao, then the Nether King, had said. "I will help you find your elder sister and bring her before you in your next life."

"Why should I believe you?"

Ye Yuqiao glared, coldly saying, "I am the Nether King, and I don't make empty promises! I can tell you for sure, even if you wait in the Netherworld for millions of years, you will never see your elder sister!"

"Why?"

Ye Yuqiao did not respond but took out the Nether King's Heart from her chest.

"Make your decision quickly! Do you want to make this deal with me?" Ye Yuqiao said to the man in white standing before her after taking out the Nether King's Heart.

The man in white was Chen Hao's previous life.

"I'll make this deal!" Chen Hao's prior life nodded, "But remember, you have made a commitment!"
