Last night, after luring the Soul Devouring Beast into the downtown area of Y City, the butler of Qian Mansion thought of looking up an old friend who was the local king of Y City's terrestrial realm for a chat. However, despite calling out for a long time on the ground, that friend still did not appear.

Afterwards, the butler of Qian Mansion went to A City, which is connected to Y City. From an old friend there who serves as a minor deity in a certain county of A City, he learned that there had been major upheavals in the Netherworld of Y City not long ago. Many false gods and goddesses, including the local king, the Seven Fairies, and the Pagoda Heavenly King, were eliminated by a young Onmyoji, and now the Netherworld of Y City was no longer under King Ning's control. That young Onmyoji was none other than Chen Hao, who had recently caused a commotion at the ghost market of Dao County.

Hearing the butler's report, Qian Feng narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "So, there's a considerable feud between King Ning and this youngster Chen Hao?"

"Correct," the butler nodded repeatedly, speaking with deep conviction, "So Master, please don't listen to King Ning's words. The reason he offered you advice must be because he wants to use you to eliminate Chen Hao; or perhaps he deliberately wants to provoke a conflict between the two parties, resulting in mutual destruction!"

"Humph! As if I'm afraid a mere Onmyoji could hurt our Qian Family!" Qian Feng said indignantly. Pausing, the fog in his vacant eyes thickened, and with heavy suspicion in his brow, he asked, "By all accounts, Y City is King Ning's territory; he can kill whoever he wishes without interference. Why would he allow this youngster Chen Hao to act recklessly, not kill him personally, but instead need to use someone else to do the deed?"

"It's exactly because there are too many strange aspects to this, that I have the audacity to advise Master not to trust the treacherous words of King Ning!" The butler's tone was full of pleading.

Qian Feng fell into deep thought. As he did so, his left hand suddenly raised a gust of purple Yin wind, and then he made a move towards the butler's one remaining leg.

"Ah!" The butler let out a soul-tearing, deafening scream.

The Yin wind summoned by Qian Feng had destroyed his remaining leg. Although he was legless, he could still float in the air without falling. He bowed down to the ground and begged, "Master, spare my life, please spare my life!"

"Do you know why I destroyed your other leg?" Qian Feng hissed, fury heavy on his face.

"It must be that I did something wrong!" the butler sobbed. Over five hundred years ago, he had had one of his legs destroyed by Qian Feng for making a mistake.

Qian Feng stepped forward, spreading his left palm, and placing it on the butler's head, he said, "It was not wrong for you to go to the mortal world to take care of some business and incidentally pay a visit to a friend. However, you erred by visiting those who serve under those eight Dharma Kings! If those eight Dharma Kings come to know of this, they will definitely make a big deal out of it, saying we are not following the rules. Do you understand? As the butler of the respectable Qian Mansion, how can you make such a foolish mistake!"

As he spoke, conspicuous veins bulged on Qian Feng's body and face, filled with a murderous aura. For several moments, he was on the verge of killing the butler, but in the end, he held back.

"Master, please spare me, I know my mistake, I definitely won't repeat it again!"

Qian Feng's hand was still trembling.

It wasn't until a long time later that he withdrew his hand and, turning away, he said, "Go tell young master Li that the Li Family is to annul that marriage agreement and from now on, they should avoid any entanglement with those people. If they don't comply, kill them all!"

"Yes!" The butler nodded, knowing he had escaped death by a hair but suddenly his eyes filled with tears, he tightened his lips and held his breath, not daring to make any superfluous noise, for fear of angering Qian Feng again. "I will inform young master Li right away."

With that, the butler quickly got up and drifted out the door.

"Wait!" As the butler was floating through the main hall doorway, Qian Feng suddenly called out to him. "The old friend who informed you of this, can he be trusted? If he can be trusted, maintain contact with him, give him some benefits. Do you understand?"

"I understand!" the butler nodded, "Don't worry, Master. I will keep a close eye on any movement over there!"

..

Eight thirty in the morning.

In the mortal world, Y City.

It was only now that Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao returned to the entrance of their home building. After dark, with no cars passing by, the two had lit a campfire and snuggled under a big tree at the foot of the mountain, spending the night there until they caught a ride after 7 a.m.

Despite having not slept all night, Chen Hao seemed spirited. Throughout the night, Ye Yuqiao had obediently stayed in his arms; he enjoyed this quiet and beautiful feeling.

No sooner had they walked up to the second-floor staircase than they saw Tang Chao and Tang Jing running towards them as if flying, their faces filled with excitement and agitation.

"What's wrong with you two?" Chen Hao asked Tang Chao and Tang Jing in confusion, "I know Yuqiao and I make an extraordinarily good-looking couple, but you don't need to get so excited, that's just too star-struck!"

"Chen Hao! Haha!" Tang Chao suddenly approached and lifted Chen Hao into the air, kissing him twice on the face.

Chen Hao was taken aback, then quickly said, "Bro Chao, my girlfriend is right here, this isn't quite appropriate. What's going on, why are you so excited?"

Tang Chao set Chen Hao down, panting with a laugh, "I just received a call from Li Jiachang. They've agreed to rescind the marriage agreement, and they swore they'll never bother us again!"

"Really? No kidding?" Chen Hao pretended to look very surprised, thinking to himself that whether the marriage agreement was rescinded or not, it was all the same. If they wanted trouble, they could just bring it on.

At that moment, Tang Jing suddenly rushed over and embraced Chen Hao tightly.

"Chen Hao, thank you!" Tang Jing said, crying tears of joy. "If it weren't for you, I probably would've committed suicide the moment I married into the Li Family."

After speaking, Tang Jing held Chen Hao even tighter.

"Ah!" Chen Hao was startled, "So you actually considered suicide!"

He looked at Ye Yuqiao and saw that her expression had become extremely ugly.

Tang Chao burst into hearty laughter and said, "Chen Hao, come with us to Dao County, to get the document of the marriage agreement rescission from the Li Family."

"Wait for me downstairs," Chen Hao gently pushed Tang Jing away, "I'm going to wash my face at home first."

After Tang Chao and Tang Jing went downstairs, Ye Yuqiao looked at Chen Hao expressionlessly and said, "Now you must be happy, your Tang Jing is free."

Chen Hao approached Ye Yuqiao and suddenly lifted her into his arms.

"What are you doing?" Ye Yuqiao asked surprised.

"Taking you home!" Chen Hao said with a smile, "Stop being jealous. If you keep it up, you're going to get wrinkles on your face."

Ye Yuqiao huffed and said no more.

After returning home, Chen Hao carried Ye Yuqiao into the room, took off her shoes for her, and covered her with the blanket. Only after he had tucked Ye Yuqiao into bed did he go downstairs to join Tang Jing and Tang Chao on their trip to Dao County.

By noon, the three of them reached Dao County. Dao County was quite bustling compared to a few nights ago.

Twenty minutes later, the three came out of the Li Family's place, and Tang Chao's pocket now held a weighty document of the marriage agreement rescission. Although the previously-signed marriage agreement with the Li Family didn't have any legal force in the mortal world, after Tang Jing died, she would have been considered a ghost of the Li Family. Therefore, to Tang Jing and Tang Chao, this document meant an extraordinary deal.

Seeing the excited expressions on Tang Chao and Tang Jing's faces, Chen Hao felt happy for the two. At the same time, thinking he could help a friend gave him a great sense of accomplishment.

Just as they stepped out of the Li Family's gate, they suddenly realized that a crowd had gathered at the entrance, all with serious expressions staring at the three of them.

"What's going on? Could it be that the Li Family sent some thugs after us?" Chen Hao asked anxiously.

"I don't think so." Tang Jing shook her head, "Who hires eight-year-old kids and eighty-year-old grandparents as thugs?"

The three continued walking with lowered heads and brisk steps past the entrance, pretending not to notice the group of people gathered at the Li Family's door.

"Wait for us!"
