"Ah!" Suddenly, Chen Hao fell off the sofa, his limbs facing the ground as he crashed onto the floor with a pained cry, a bump swelling on the right side of his forehead.

Ye Yuqiao turned over, first chuckling at Chen Hao sprawled on the ground, then gently scolded, "Annoying! Who falls on his queen like that?"

"It really hurts!" Chen Hao whined, then slowly turned over, his face a picture of extreme pain and grievance.

Ye Yuqiao giggled again, reaching out to pinch Chen Hao's face, she asked, "Jerk, are you feeling sorry for yourself again?"

Chen Hao stuck out his tongue at Ye Yuqiao, questioning, "Your Majesty, why have you suddenly become so childish today?"

Ye Yuqiao's bright eyes suddenly widened, as if containing springs of water, she asked softly, "Don't you like me this way?"

"I like it, I like you any way you are!" Chen Hao blurted out.

"Really?"

"Really!" Chen Hao raised his eyebrows at Ye Yuqiao, as if to tease her.

What Chen Hao didn't expect next was for Ye Yuqiao to suddenly roll off the sofa and throw herself into his arms.

"Cough, cough!" Chen Hao coughed several times, his lungs nearly bursting from the Ye Yuqiao that fell from the sky. "Your Majesty, at least give me a heads up so I can prepare, right?"

Ye Yuqiao chuckled softly, without a word. She closed her eyes, lying with her cheek against Chen Hao's chest, her hand resting on his shoulder.

After a brief silence, feeling the breath of the Ye Yuqiao on his chest become calm, Chen Hao gently patted her back and asked, "Your Majesty, are you asleep?"

"Not yet?" the queen replied, her lazy voice now with a pleasant childlike quality. "Can we sleep like this tonight? Don't you think it will be too cold on the floor?"

"Yes, yes! Not cold at all!" Chen Hao was very willing.

"Then, goodnight!" Ye Yuqiao said. Then she lifted her head, left a kiss on Chen Hao's cheek, and whispered in his ear, "We are still wearing matching outfits, let's not fight anymore."

After speaking, Ye Yuqiao laid her head back against Chen Hao's chest.

Chen Hao wrapped his arms around Ye Yuqiao's waist, wondering if it was the matching outfits that had made Ye Yuqiao feel romantic, thus making her act like a girl in love. After thinking it over, he stroked Ye Yuqiao's smooth hair with his right hand and said, "Then let's wear matching outfits every day!"

Ye Yuqiao, whose face was calm as if she were asleep, couldn't help but smile, then complained in a soft voice, "Idiot, the key part was the last sentence!"

"Mm!" Chen Hao let out a long sigh, "We won't fight anymore!"

.

At this time, in Y City's southern district riverside park, a young couple were having a secret meeting in the woods.

Suddenly, a red flame ignited not far from the couple, illuminating the entire dark forest.

The two were startled!

"What's going on? Is there a fire?" the girl asked, clutching the boy's hand tightly.

"Let's go check it out!" the boy said. After taking a deep breath, they moved forward, slowly walking towards the light.

The closer they got, the more fiercely the fire burned.

"What's that sound?" the girl asked with a trembling voice, clinging tightly to the boy. Amidst the hastening wind, she thought she heard a woman's mournful crying.

After taking two more steps, the girl sensed something was amiss and suddenly stopped, tugging on the boy's arm and said, "Let's just go, don't go over there to see!"

"What's there to be afraid of? I'm here!" the boy whispered confidently. The more frightened his girlfriend became, the more excited he felt, believing it was time to show his manliness.

They continued walking, drawing nearer to the increasingly fierce blaze.

Finally, when they were only three meters away from the fire, both of them stopped in their tracks.

"It's just a fire!" said the boy, his face showing disappointment. His excited mind had been hoping for something strange to happen. "Let's go put out the fire before it turns into a big one!"

A few seconds later, the girl, who was clinging to the boy's arm, did not respond, and the boy distinctly felt that her trembling had ceased.

Feeling puzzled, the boy turned his head to look at the girl beside him.

"Xiao Si, what's wrong with you?" the boy suddenly exclaimed loudly! He saw that the girl beside him was deathly pale, her face a picture of horror, as if she had been scared stiff.

"Didn't you see it clearly?" the girl trembled, her pupils dilated and void of light. "There is no smoke from that fire, and it's floating!"

Hearing her words, the boy suddenly felt a shiver go down his spine.

He turned his head and looked back at the fire!

"Ahh!" the woods erupted with the sharp screams of the pair!

At the moment the boy looked at the fire, it suddenly transformed into a long-haired, face-charred red-dressed female ghost with her feet off the ground! She raised her hands, and instantly two balls of fire materialized in her palms. Among the common folk, such a Yin Soul is called a Fire Ghost, also known as a wild fire.

After raising her hands, the red-dressed ghost lunged at the young couple, who were frozen in terror.

Just as the fire from the red-dressed Fire Ghost's palms was about to reach the boy's face, someone suddenly appeared from behind a large tree behind the boy and girl.

This person was the former president of the Yin Yang Master Association in Y City—Wang Chuan.

"Wood Spell, Bind!" Wang Chuan first used a Five Elements Spell to bind the red-dressed Fire Ghost, and then, before the burning vines tied to it could be burnt away, he threw a small porcelain bottle at the Fire Ghost and captured it inside the bottle.

After sealing the bottle with a stopper, Wang Chuan immediately disappeared into the woods.

It was only after a long while that the young couple regained their senses from their terror.

One o'clock in the dead of night.

Wang Chuan drove alone to the maple forest on the outskirts of the southern part of Y City.

After finishing a cigarette, another car drove into the maple forest.

When the headlights of the car went out, two men got out from the vehicle, one of them a limping man with an uneven gait; the other carrying a bag in his hand.

"President Wang, long time no see!" the limping man took the initiative to greet Wang Chuan first.

In the dimly lit woods, Wang Chuan couldn't see his face clearly. It wasn't until the two men approached him that Wang Chuan could see their faces and shook hands with the two, saying coldly, "It's been a long time since I've seen you both!"

"President Wang, we've brought everything!" said the man carrying the bag, his tone of voice strange and eerie.

Wang Chuan took the bag and opened it to look inside, it contained a total of ten Five Elements Stones and five Soul-collecting Bottles, each labeled with the characters "Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth."

"The preparations are almost complete, just waiting for the night of the full moon in a few days!"
