The night was deep, and Chen Hao carried Ye Yuqiao back to their home.

He laid Ye Yuqiao on the couch and held her hands as he transferred Yang Energy into her.

After they separated, Ye Yuqiao looked at Chen Hao, hesitated to speak, and then, within a brief two seconds, her pale face turned beet red, and she averted her eyes from Chen Hao's gaze.

Chen Hao's brows furrowed as he pondered how to deal with the seemingly unsolvable Wang Chuan.

After thinking for a while, Chen Hao whispered to Ye Yuqiao, "Your Majesty, have you thought of any good strategies to deal with Wang Chuan? The Power of the Five Elements flowing within him is abnormally strong; he's basically unkillable!"

"Maybe you could deal with him if you turned into a zombie, right?" Ye Yuqiao said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

"If I turn into a zombie, you'll be the first one I bite!"

Ye Yuqiao frowned and looked aggrieved, her eyes rippling as she stared at Chen Hao and asked, "Would you really bite me?"

Chen Hao was taken aback and realized that he had taken his joke too far. Although Ye Yuqiao appeared to be a cold and proud Nether King on the surface, deep inside, she was extremely sensitive. Thus, Chen Hao quickly caressed Ye Yuqiao's cheek with his hand and chuckled, "Such a beautiful girl, even a zombie with lost morals would be reluctant to bite her, let alone a zombie version of me who likes you so much!"

"Hmph, jerk!" Ye Yuqiao stretched out her hand and pinched Chen Hao's face hard, "Naughty and annoying!"

"Right!" Chen Hao's eyes twinkled as if he suddenly thought of something, then he asked, "Yuqiao, how many times do you need to meditate before you can use the Nether King's Fire again?"

"Meditate?" A blush suddenly climbed up Ye Yuqiao's neck, then onto her cheeks, and the warmth reached Chen Hao's left hand, which was caressing her cheek.

"Listening to you talk so earnestly, someone who didn't know better might actually think it's meditation!" Ye Yuqiao gently scolded. After a pause, she continued, "It's not certain! You're not planning to rely on me using the Nether King's Fire to deal with Wang Chuan from now on, are you?"

"Haha!" Chen Hao laughed loudly, "Of course not! In fact, I was just trying to find a legitimate reason to be naughty."

"So you mean you wouldn't be naughty if you couldn't find an excuse?" Ye Yuqiao gave Chen Hao a contemptuous glance and pinched his cheek again, "You're such a jerk, and I've always known it!"

Chen Hao smiled proudly, but his expression soon turned melancholic. To him, Wang Chuan, now possessing immense Five Elements Magic, seemed almost invincible.

"No matter how strong Wang Chuan is, he's ultimately just a zombie!" Ye Yuqiao said thoughtfully, frowning, "Why don't you look through your family's ancient Book of Yin and Yang Exorcism and see if there's a good way to deal with zombies."

Chen Hao shook his head helplessly and sighed, "The content of the Book of Yin and Yang Exorcism has only revealed the first few pages of the demon-slaying section so far, and since I advanced the Return to Yang Spell to chapter twenty-five last time, I have not yet been able to fully absorb the boosted Yang Energy into my body for my own use."

"Zombies rarely appear in the Netherworld, so there's no record of methods to deal with them. Maybe you should ask someone from a family of Onmyojis in the mortal world; people here have constantly been fighting against zombies since ancient times and should have all sorts of ways to deal with them."

"Seek advice from someone?" Chen Hao muttered, his eyes squinting. Suddenly, his eyes lit up with excitement, "Right, I can ask him!"

"Who is he?" Ye Yuqiao asked, puzzled.

"The shadowy figure living in my mind," Chen Hao said lightly, chuckling, "After King Ning burned me to ashes with the Purgatory Fire last time, it was he who resurrected my Yin Soul."

"Hm," Ye Yuqiao nodded.

Then, Chen Hao put on his clothes and stepped into the living room. He sat down on the cold floor, cross-legged, and closed his eyes.

After ten minutes, Chen Hao, who had entered a meditative state, felt his body light and floaty as if he were in a weightless void.

"Hey, shadowy figure, are you there?" Chen Hao started to call out within his mind.

After calling out three times, suddenly, a dim white light illuminated the world inside his mind, and a shadowy figure appeared at the center of the light.

"You've come to me because you want to ask how I deal with zombies that possess the powerful Power of the Five Elements, right?" the shadowy figure asked.

"Exactly!" Chen Hao nodded, "It seems you're well aware of my situation!"

Suddenly, Chen Hao's face showed alarm, and he hurriedly said, "Can you see everything I see too?"

"Of course!"

"Bastard!" Chen Hao cursed angrily.

"Don't worry, there are some things I wouldn't pry into!" the shadowy person sneered, "And even if I did, you wouldn't mind after you know my identity."

"Why?" Chen Hao questioned.

"You will naturally find out in time!" the shadowy person said.

Chen Hao snorted disdainfully and muttered discontentedly, "Speaking in riddles!"

The shadowy person laughed coldly again, then said, "Yuqiao was right, no matter how formidable Wang Chuan might be, he is after all just a zombie. And zombies..."

"Didn't you say you wouldn't pry?" Chen Hao angrily interrupted the shadowy person, "Also, 'Yuqiao' is an intimate way to address her, not something you're entitled to use!"

"I was just listening, not looking!" the shadow explained, his tone filled with helplessness. "Really stingy!"

"Listening!" Chen Hao glared fiercely, "You also heard everything that happened between me and Yuqiao? If you were in my shoes, would you be generous?"

The shadowy person sighed sorrowfully and said even more helplessly, "I only listened to what I should! Like I've said, when you know my identity, you certainly won't mind."

"Who in the world are you?" Chen Hao was filled with curiosity, "Could it be that you're my shadow? That's not right, even my shadow knows more than I do, then I might as well not be alive!"

"Who I am is not important!" the shadowy person stated. After pausing, he continued the previous conversation: "No matter how powerful a zombie is, it still relies on blood to live, now you understand, right?"

"Are you saying that to deal with a zombie, I need to figure out a way to deal with its blood first?"

"Smart!" the shadowy person praised, "Even if Wang Chuan has an abundance of the Five Elements Magic, as soon as you freeze his blood, you freeze the mana inside his body. Then, you can just use the Nether Light on him to finish him off."

"Then what's the method to freeze his blood?"

"It's in the Book of Yin and Yang Exorcism, towards the end; if you increase your Yang Energy a bit, you'll be able to see."

"Hey! The Yang Energy in my body is still unstable now, it's not good for practicing the Return to Yang Spell, can't you just tell me directly?"

"Telling you wouldn't help!"

"Why?" Chen Hao questioned.

"When you see that page, you'll understand!"

"Bastard!" Chen Hao cursed loudly, "Stop being so cryptic, would you!"

"Haha, I am such a bastard!"
