Suddenly, when the young driver glanced at the rearview mirror inside the car, he was shocked to find an extra person on the back seat.

To be exact, it was a female ghost in white.

Startled, the young man turned around, but before he could scream, the ghost's hands were already clutching his throat, cutting off the scream that was about to erupt from his throat.

Seconds later, a loud "bang" broke the silence around.

Minutes passed, and many villagers from Xu Family Village, who heard the loud noise, rushed to the scene.

The car was destroyed and lives were lost!

Moreover, the deceased were not only the driver but also two people who were unfortunately struck by the car, these two being Xu Ming and his son Sheng'er.

"Isn't that Xu Ming and his son?" A villager recognized the father and son immediately.

Ten minutes later, an ambulance and police cars arrived at the scene, and after attempting to give first aid, the rescuers declared all three people dead when no signs of life were found. After an investigation, the police concluded that the accident was caused by the driver's fatigue.

"Impossible!" As a family member of the two victims, Zhang Huifen couldn't accept the sudden loss of her husband and son, nor the police's investigation results. "Their home is to the southwest of Xu Family Village's back mountain; how could my man and child have taken such a long detour home from here?"

"Exactly!" Many villagers nodded in agreement, finding the incident very suspicious.

The police ignored them and left after completing the on-site evidence collection and investigation.

..

At Jingwen Middle School, on the rooftop of the academic building.

Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao were tightly embracing each other. The omnipresent cold wind was tearing at them, giving them even more reason to cling to each other.

Suddenly, Ye Yuqiao's eyes shone, and she exclaimed, "I think I feel the Nether King's Power!"

"What!" Chen Hao was startled, then separated from Ye Yuqiao and looked at her in surprise, asking, "How can there be so much Nether King's Power in this world?"

Ye Yuqiao hummed unhappily, then pinched Chen Hao's arm hard, asking, "Are you getting tired of it? If you're tired of it, give the Nether King's Heart back to me!"

"Haha!" Chen Hao laughed aloud and shook his head repeatedly, saying, "That was the first gift you gave me before I was even born; how could I ever tire of it. But you really are generous, giving your true heart as a first gift and then giving yourself fully on the second occasion."

"You.." Ye Yuqiao's face turned ashen with anger, "Are you mocking me?"

Realizing he had said something wrong, Chen Hao quickly embraced Ye Yuqiao again and deliberately changed the subject by asking, "You said you felt the Nether King's Power, so where is it?"

After lightly punching Chen Hao in the back a few times with clenched fists, Ye Yuqiao stepped away from him and, with a glum face, pointed her left hand toward the north of Y City, saying coldly, "Over there!"

Chen Hao didn't look in the direction Ye Yuqiao was pointing, but instead took both her hands into his, swaying them gently, and pleaded in an appeasing, humble tone, "Your Majesty, I wasn't mocking you; I was just feeling very lucky and happy."

"Jerk!" Ye Yuqiao muttered with displeasure. Then, she leaned forward, opened her mouth, and bit Chen Hao's cheek.

To Chen Hao, the force of her bite was just like a kiss, filled with sweetness.

"Alright, enough playing!" Ye Yuqiao spoke evenly and pointed with her left hand toward the north of Y City again. "Hurry and use Nether Vision to look toward the outskirts, about twenty miles from the city."

Chen Hao nodded and immediately activated the Nether Vision Technique. However, he did not rush to look in the direction Ye Yuqiao was pointing but first eyed her with a mischievous look.

"Oh, you naughty thing!" Ye Yuqiao's gaze turned disdainful. "It's not like you haven't seen me before, behave, look over there right now."

Upon hearing the word "good," Chen Hao couldn't help but think of Man Qingting and wondered if his dislike for Yuqiao calling him "good" was inherited from his past life as Ye Heng?

"You!" Yuqiao suddenly became unhappy, "Who are you thinking about?"

"Haha! I just love seeing you jealous!" Chen Hao laughed loudly and then followed the direction Yuqiao was pointing.

A few seconds later, Chen Hao's gaze settled on a small hill about ten kilometers away from Y City's downtown area.

Quickly, Chen Hao noticed something strange: compared to the surrounding area, the fog rising from the small hill was noticeably denser, standing out like an egg yolk surrounded by egg white in a bowl.

"Why is it so weird?" Chen Hao muttered.

Two seconds later, his gaze pierced through the fog to see inside the hill. Instantly, Chen Hao's attention was captured by the flickering lights and the throngs of people on the northeast side of the hill, and he shifted his gaze there.

Chen Hao then realized that a car accident had just occurred at the foot of the hill by the road; the car that hit a tree was totally wrecked, its shattered windshield smeared with blood.

Not far from this car were a police car and an ambulance. On the stretchers beside the ambulance were three people, all of whom lacked Yang Energy and whose Yin Souls had already left their bodies.

"Looks like they've been taken away by a soul reaper," Chen Hao said, closing his Nether Vision and looking at Yuqiao. He didn't want to look at the grisly scene of the accident any longer, for his own parents had died in a car accident over a decade ago.

"Don't be sad!" Yuqiao suddenly hugged Chen Hao around the waist.

"You see that woman crying her heart out?" Chen Hao asked with his eyes closed. The woman he was referring to was Zhang Huifen. Although he had never met her, Chen Hao could very well understand her feelings at that moment.

Yuqiao didn't say anything but looked at Chen Hao with a pitiable gaze, gently saying, "Don't be sad, seeing you like this makes me want to cry too."

"Then why don't you cry?" Chen Hao said with a bitter smile. "If you cry, I can comfort you, and you might grow fonder of me."

"Naughty!" Yuqiao said pinching Chen Hao's cheek, her eyes brimming with a dreamy smile. She paused for a moment, furrowing her brows in thought, "But I'm sure I just felt the Nether King's Power!"

"Maybe it's my heart you're feeling?"

"What heart?"

"I like you!" Chen Hao said playfully. Then, he suddenly hooked his right arm around Yuqiao's waist and, with a fiery gaze toward the profound night sky, said, "Hold onto my neck tight."

"What are you going to do?"

"Take you flying?"

After a brief pause, Yuqiao pressed close to Chen Hao's chest, lifting her hands to hook around his neck.

"Don't be afraid, I definitely won't let you fall!"

With that, Chen Hao leaped up, soaring into the depths of the night sky.

"Do you think I look cool?" Chen Hao asked Yuqiao as they flew on the wind.

Yuqiao gave a light smile and nodded slightly.

"So, shouldn't you give me a kiss as a reward."

Yuqiao smiled again and shook her head.
