"How could I not like you? You're asking me knowingly!" Chen Hao whispered in Ye Yuqiao's ear, his face breaking into a smile.

The events just now had confirmed his feelings; he had deeply engraved himself into Ye Yuqiao's heart, permeated her very marrow, just as she had done to his own heart.

Hearing Chen Hao's proud chuckle close by her ear, Ye Yuqiao huffed somewhat angrily and looked up at Chen Hao to complain, "I feel like I'm at a huge disadvantage, I was still mad at you last night!"

Chen Hao looked at Ye Yuqiao with a smile in his eyes and on his face. Ye Yuqiao looked back at Chen Hao, and they shared a smile.

"Do you know?" Ye Yuqiao asked, "I've always been unwilling to let you get close to me because I didn't want you to find out I liked you."

Upon hearing Ye Yuqiao say this, Chen Hao felt a sudden pang of heartache and empathy for her. First, it was the gap in their statuses, then the promise to Ye Heng, and lastly, the guilt over his grandfather's death. This girl in front of him had always been restraining her feelings for him.

"Do you have any secrets you haven't told me yet?" Chen Hao asked softly, pinching Ye Yuqiao's cheek with his right hand, "If you do, tell me everything tonight, I promise I won't get mad."

"Hmph!" Ye Yuqiao raised her hand and pinched Chen Hao's arm hard, questioning, "It seems you're still hung up on that matter. Well, in that case, I should leave!"

Having said this, Ye Yuqiao intended to turn over and leave.

Chen Hao quickly hugged Ye Yuqiao tightly and said urgently, "You did nothing wrong in that matter, how could I still be mad at you? I ask these questions only because I don't want you to keep everything bottled up inside. I'm the man who will be responsible for you for the rest of your life, and you can tell me all those heavy secrets. I'm willing and happy to share everything with you!"

"There are no more secrets!" Ye Yuqiao's tone softened and she was no longer angry, "I feel so relieved now, finally I can face you without fear. I was worried every day that you'd find out about your grandfather's affair and get angry with me, cutting me off. Now that you know, I have nothing to worry about."

After speaking, Ye Yuqiao giggled softly and then said, "Actually, I was pretending to leave just now; I wanted to see you get anxious about me. I'll have you know that I can be very willful, and you're going to have to get used to it! I don't feel like I owe you anything now, I won't let you have your way like I used to!"

Chen Hao sighed and, after thinking for a moment, whispered in Ye Yuqiao's ear, "If you had told me about that matter earlier, maybe I wouldn't have been so angry."

"You really wouldn't have been angry?" Ye Yuqiao questioned.

Chen Hao did not nod, nor did he shake his head; he couldn't give a definitive answer.

Then, the two fell into a long silence, until after a long while, Ye Yuqiao broke the silence, "Chen Hao, I want to show you something!"

"Hmm," Chen Hao nodded, then looked at Ye Yuqiao curiously, "What is it?"

Ye Yuqiao first flashed a youthful, lighthearted smile, then lifted her hand high into the air, twirling her fingers, and in the blink of an eye, a butterfly emitting a purple glow appeared in her hand.

"A butterfly!" Staring at the butterfly in Ye Yuqiao's hand, Chen Hao was utterly astonished, "Where did this butterfly come from?"

"Don't you remember this butterfly?" Ye Yuqiao looked at Chen Hao and asked, "This was a gift from your previous life as Ye Heng on my twentieth thousand birthday in the Netherworld!"

Hearing that it was a gift from his previous life to Ye Yuqiao, Chen Hao's expression darkened immediately. In his view, Ye Heng was Ye Heng, and he was he; they were completely different individuals. Therefore, finding out that Ye Yuqiao had kept a gift from Ye Heng bothered him deeply.

As a result, having regained the power of the Nether Eye, his left eye shot out purple flames, reducing the butterfly in Ye Yuqiao's hand to ashes.

"What are you doing, you jerk!" Ye Yuqiao said, both agitated and angry.

"I remembered those damned things between you and Ye Heng last night!" Chen Hao said, even more angrily than Ye Yuqiao, "I'm asking you, was it him who stole your first kiss?"

Ye Yuqiao let out a soft laugh, then flipped over to lie on top of Chen Hao, teasing him, "Who gets jealous of themselves like you do?"

"So by your reasoning, I'm Ye Heng, am I? Does that mean I also have to harbor feelings for my senior sister?"

"Humph," Ye Yuqiao expressed her displeasure with a pout, then hammered Chen Hao's chest with her fist.

After a pause, her anger dissipated from her face, and she calmly explained to Chen Hao, "Idiot! You don't have to be jealous of your past life at all. My feelings for him are not quite the same as my feelings for you—otherwise, why didn't I react at all the first time we did something naughty? Jerk, you're not smart when you're supposed to be!"

"Is that really the case?" Chen Hao was somewhat skeptical, "Okay, I'll trust you this time. Do you have anything else related to Ye Heng? Hand them all over, and let's destroy them all."

Ye Yuqiao glared at Chen Hao with wide eyes, then honestly shook her head.

Chen Hao nodded slightly, looking very satisfied.

But just at that moment, tears suddenly streamed down Ye Yuqiao's face, making her look incredibly wronged.

"Why are you crying so sadly?" Chen Hao asked anxiously, while wiping away Ye Yuqiao's tears, "Is that butterfly so important to you?"

"It's not about the butterfly, it's because you almost strangled me to death the other day!" Ye Yuqiao cried, then buried her head in Chen Hao's chest and bit him hard.

Chen Hao kept patting Ye Yuqiao's back to soothe her, whispering, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! I just got angry in the moment, I would never really mean to strangle you. I promise you, it will never happen again."

Ye Yuqiao lifted her head, tears welling in her eyes as she looked into Chen Hao's eyes. After a long silence, she suddenly clenched her fist and, while beating on Chen Hao's chest, complained through her sobs, "You better remember this, you are my Chen Hao. From now on, behave yourself, and if you make me sad or upset again, watch out! I'll kill you, you jerk!"

"Haha!" Chen Hao laughed at Ye Yuqiao's last sentence, then opened his arms and hugged Ye Yuqiao tightly.

"If I accidentally make you angry in the future, you must remember to hit me, scold me, even kill me if you must, just don't leave me. These past few days have made me realize how important you are to me, like oxygen, indispensable in my life."

"Silly, Yang Energy is not a good comparison!" Ye Yuqiao chuckled softly, "You have the Nether King's Heart, even without oxygen, you can live just fine."

Suddenly, Chen Hao's expression turned serious, "A few days ago, I declared my determination to you, now I need you to make me a promise."

"What kind of promise?"

"An eternal promise!" Chen Hao answered earnestly.

"Do you really want to forsake reincarnation to be with me forever?" Ye Yuqiao questioned.

Chen Hao's expression darkened.

"Don't be mad, can't I be a little sensitive and suspicious?" Ye Yuqiao huffed, then after a pause, she looked seriously at Chen Hao and said, "As long as we restore order to the Netherworld, wherever you, Chen Hao, go, I, Yuqiao, will follow, through thick and thin!"

"I love you!"

"I…" Ye Yuqiao's face turned slightly red, "I love you too!"
