"Could this be the Nether Thousand Light?"

"What are you thinking about?" Ye Yuqiao lifted her eyes to Chen Hao and asked doubtfully.

"Quickly, look if this is the Nether Thousand Light!" Chen Hao said. As he spoke, the scene where he obliterated the Shadow Demon Mother in the Mirror Realm replayed in his mind.

When Chen Hao had finished recalling, Ye Yuqiao nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right, this is the Nether Thousand Light! Strange, you jerk, can't you release the Nether Thousand Light whenever you want now?"

Chen Hao's face darkened, and he stretched out his hand to pinch Ye Yuqiao's arm, displeased, "Have you become addicted to calling me a jerk?"

"Wuwu, you're bullying me again!" Ye Yuqiao buried her head in Chen Hao's chest and pretended to cry, while she raised her hand to beat his chest.

"You're so natural at acting spoiled, I've started to wonder if this is the real you!" Chen Hao said with disdain.

"Pfft! Guess!" Ye Yuqiao lifted her head, stuck out her tongue at Chen Hao, and made a mischievously spirited expression. "I've told you before, I want to maintain a sense of mystery with you."

Having said this, Ye Yuqiao's face was already carrying a bewildered smile. After a pause, she then commanded, "Quick, summon the Nether Acupoint, I want to go in and see what's going on!"

Chen Hao nodded, and then a purple vortex appeared in front of him and Ye Yuqiao.

Ye Yuqiao stood up and entered the Nether Acupoint.

A few days after Ye Yuqiao had left in anger, the Nether King Orchid Heart above Chen Hao's left eye had been dim and without luster, until last night when the two were intertwined and Chen Hao entered Ye Yuqiao's body at that moment, the Nether King Orchid Heart suddenly flickered with black-purple light again.

This made Chen Hao couldn't help but feel that the Nether King Orchid Heart at his left eye seemed to be a testimony to his and Yuqiao's feelings. When their feelings for each other were good, the light on the Nether King Orchid Heart would shine; when conflicts arose, the light of the Nether King Orchid Heart would fade until it dimmed.

At this moment, the intensity of the light from the Nether King Orchid Heart had obviously ascended a few levels, as if signifying that his and Yuqiao's emotions had been sublimated.

"Jerk, stop being sentimental!" Yuqiao's voice suddenly rang in Chen Hao's mind.

Chen Hao snapped back to reality and asked with an inward smile, "Don't you think our feelings have escalated to a new level?"

"I've felt that way for a long time, it's just that you've only come to realize it now!" Yuqiao said with an injured expression, "It seems you haven't liked me that much before!"

Chen Hao was at a loss for words, thinking to himself that Yuqiao was right. After just a few days that seemed short yet infinitely long apart, he had realized just how indispensable Yuqiao was to him. After a pause, he retorted, "Deep down, I've really liked you for a long time, I just never dug deep into my own heart. Oh, let bygones be bygones, why are you so petty to still bring it up!"

"I wonder who's being petty." Yuqiao murmured displeasedly. Then she lifted her gaze to the Nether King Orchid Heart above, noticing that of the three streams of the Nether King's Power coursing through it, the one belonging to the Shadow Demon Infant was incessantly absorbing the Spiritual Power of the Nether King Orchid Heart, while the other two streams of Nether King's Power bestowed by the Great Ancestor's incarnation, the Sandrock Demon in the painting, were gradually merging their strength into the Nether King Orchid Heart.

It was clear that the Nether King's Power absorbed from the Shadow Demon Infant was repelling the Nether King Orchid Heart, while the Nether King's Power given by the Sandrock Demon was accepting it.

However, the Spiritual Power that the Nether King Orchid Heart absorbed from these three streams of Nether King's Power was nowhere near the amount being sucked away, so although the overall volume of Spiritual Power in Chen Hao's body had greatly increased, the amount he could command was becoming less and less. That was why despite having the strength to use the Nether Thousand Light, Chen Hao was unable to release it.

Subsequently, Yuqiao jumped onto the Nether King Orchid Heart and used her own Nether King's Power to freeze the Nether King's Power belonging to the Shadow Demon Infant, no longer allowing it to drain Spiritual Power from the Nether King Orchid Heart.

After freezing that stream of Nether King's Power, Yuqiao suddenly tore a seam in the Nether Acupoint, and correspondingly, a seam also appeared over Chen Hao's left eye. Afterward, Yuqiao left the Nether Acupoint through this seam and returned to face Chen Hao.

"Ah!" Chen Hao groaned in extreme pain, a stream of blood tears leaked out from his ferocious left eye and slid down. "It hurts like hell!"

"Hmph!" Ye Yuqiao gave Chen Hao a cold glance, her heart aching slightly though. "It's your fault for only falling for me so much now!"

"Ah! Why is your desire for revenge so strong!" Chen Hao gritted his teeth and hissed.

Half a minute later, the crack above Chen Hao's left eye finally healed, and the blood that had flowed out returned to his left eye.

"Naughty!" Feeling no pain anymore, Chen Hao suddenly pounced on Ye Yuqiao, who was sitting nearby. "I must take revenge on you and make sure you suffer!"

"You dare!" Ye Yuqiao glared fiercely at Chen Hao. "I am still angry, so you better not mess with me!"

Seeing Ye Yuqiao's stern face, Chen Hao shrank back, feeling guilty, and moved away from her to lie on the other end of the couch with a sullen face.

"You can just suffer!" Ye Yuqiao huffed.

Then, the two fell into an exceedingly long silence until four in the afternoon when Ye Yuqiao suddenly snuggled into Chen Hao's arms and asked, "Boyfriend, are you still taking me shopping?"

"Coax me a little, and I'll take you!"

..

The next day.

Early in the morning, the sky was just beginning to brighten.

In the dim and cozy room, Ye Yuqiao, who had been sleeping on Chen Hao's right arm, suddenly sprang awake, urgently saying to Chen Hao, "Boyfriend, it's not good, I sensed the Nether King's Power again!"

Seeing that Chen Hao did not respond for a long time, Ye Yuqiao forcefully pinched his chest.

Immediately, Chen Hao was roused by Ye Yuqiao's pinch and exclaimed, "What's wrong, what's wrong, what happened?"

"I felt the Nether King's Power emerging!" Ye Yuqiao said thoughtfully.

No sooner has she spoken, Ye Yuqiao's brows suddenly furrowed, and she gasped in alarm, "This is bad, the Nether King's Power is manifesting more frequently now, I bet a lot of people are going to die!"

"Ah!" Chen Hao looked astonished.

"He's now at the farmers' market north of our school," Ye Yuqiao hurriedly said, her voice growing sharper and more urgent. "He keeps using the Hand of Death, he's deliberately committing murder out of malice! We must hurry over there and stop him!"

Then, Ye Yuqiao transformed into a shadow. But very quickly, she reappeared in front of Chen Hao, smiled wryly, and said, "I forgot I'm not dressed yet. Hey, hurry up and get dressed!"

"Oh!" Chen Hao nodded blankly, Ye Yuqiao's sudden alarm confusing him slightly.

A minute later, they had swiftly gotten dressed.

"Don't worry later, if the Hand of Death hits your shoulder, I will definitely pull your Yin Soul back!" Ye Yuqiao told Chen Hao. Thanks to Chen Hao, these past couple of days, Ye Yuqiao had accumulated quite a bit of the Nether King's Power inside her.

Having said that, Ye Yuqiao turned into a shadow again, taking Chen Hao with her as they vanished from the room.
