Watching Tang Chao and Man Qingting disappear into the crowded entrance of the ticket checkpoint, Chen Hao said, "Let's go back!"

Having said that, just as Chen Hao was about to reach for Ye Yuqiao's hand, Ye Yuqiao suddenly sidestepped a few paces away, deliberately distancing herself from him.

"Yuqiao, you're not really angry, are you?" Chen Hao quietly lamented with a sullen face.

Ye Yuqiao, with a stern face, chose to ignore him and quickened her pace.

Seeing this, Xie Xiaofeng exchanged glances with Tang Jing before saying to Chen Hao, "Idiot, we're leaving first, okay? See you at the association meeting tomorrow!"

Then, Xie Xiaofeng and Tang Jing hurried off.

"Yuqiao!" Chen Hao caught up to Ye Yuqiao in quick strides, his right arm threading through Ye Yuqiao's left, "Are you really angry?"

Ye Yuqiao stopped abruptly, her face somber and silent, as she twisted her hand to break free from Chen Hao's grip.

"It was you who hugged Chao first, so why can't I hug someone else!" Chen Hao complained, while grabbing Ye Yuqiao's wrist with his left hand.

"Is it the same?" Ye Yuqiao's eyes widened in fury, her complexion turning pale with anger, "What is my relationship with Tang Chao? And what is your relationship with her!"

Chen Hao was taken aback, never expecting Ye Yuqiao to be so enraged. Unexpected and feeling guilty, he was at a loss for words and looked at Ye Yuqiao with a pleading look, muttering with a frown, "Your Majesty the Queen, I was wrong! Besides, I have nothing to do with her, it's Ye Heng who has a relationship with her!"

Ye Yuqiao glared at Chen Hao and said, "I don't want to argue with you needlessly! Let go of my hand, or I'll ignore you forever!"

"Ah!" Chen Hao was stunned and immediately let go of Ye Yuqiao's hand, never having imagined the situation escalating to this point, and began to deeply regret his childish actions.

Following Ye Yuqiao out of the train station, they then hopped into a taxi, and twenty minutes later the pair got out at the base of their apartment building. During the ride, Chen Hao tried on several occasions to talk to Ye Yuqiao in an attempt to resolve the conflict, but all his efforts were coolly rebuffed by her icy demeanor.

Once home, Ye Yuqiao walked directly to the bedroom, with Chen Hao closely behind her.

"Don't come in!" Ye Yuqiao said coldly to Chen Hao blocking the bedroom door.

"Why not?" Chen Hao asked, "This is my room!"

"Fine, since this is your room, then I might as well leave!" Ye Yuqiao grew angrier as she spoke.

Seeing that Ye Yuqiao was ready to storm out, Chen Hao immediately blocked her way, hastily saying, "No, no, no! It's your room, I won't go in!"

After frowning and pondering for a while, Ye Yuqiao gave up the idea of leaving and pushed Chen Hao aside who was blocking the doorway.

"What do you want for lunch?" Chen Hao asked.

"I'm full from your annoyance, I don't want to eat!"

With a loud "bang!", Ye Yuqiao angrily slammed the door shut and quickly locked it from the inside.

Looking at the unfeeling door in front of him, Chen Hao, scratching his head in helplessness, wondered what he could do to make Ye Yuqiao stop being angry.

Outside on the balcony, the snow was falling heavier.

By two o'clock in the afternoon, driven by hunger, Ye Yuqiao had no choice but to leave her room. Intending to give Chen Hao a chance to make amends, she discovered that he was not at home. Instantly, a nameless rage flared up inside her, and connecting with the Nether King's Heart, she asked angrily, "Bastard, where did you go?"

"Ah!" Chen Hao sent her a surprised response, "Your Majesty, please hurry to the balcony!"

"What for? I'm hungry!" Ye Yuqiao grumbled as she walked towards the balcony.

Looking down from the balcony, the first thing Ye Yuqiao noticed was Chen Hao standing on the sidewalk next to the road, waving at her, and then she saw a snowman about as tall as him standing next to him. The snowman had a white cardboard sign on its head with three bright red characters that read, "I was wrong."

Seeing these three characters, Ye Yuqiao smiled vaguely, her anger suddenly subsided by more than half.

After looking around the road on both sides, Chen Hao said to Ye Yuqiao, "Yuqiao, there's no one around now, jump down quickly, I promise I can catch you!"

After hesitating for two seconds, Ye Yuqiao leaped off the balcony.

Chen Hao soared through the air and caught Ye Yuqiao in mid-flight.

Everything would have been flawless, but upon landing, Chen Hao slipped on ice and then the two of them tumbled across the snow-covered sidewalk like rolling snowballs.

"Bastard, I shouldn't have trusted you!" Ye Yuqiao snapped.

Chen Hao, pinning Ye Yuqiao underneath, smiled and brushed the snowflakes off her face while saying, "Yuqiao, I know I was wrong, please don't be angry, okay?"

"Considering the effort you put into making a snowman, I'll reluctantly forgive you. If you dare do this again, I'm done with you!" Ye Yuqiao raised her left hand and pinched Chen Hao's cheek, red from the cold, "Remember this, you are my Chen Hao, mine alone, and you are not allowed to have any intimate contact with other women from now on!"

Having said that, Ye Yuqiao suddenly grabbed a handful of snow from the ground and smashed it into Chen Hao's face.

Seeing that Chen Hao wanted to retaliate in the same way, Ye Yuqiao glared at him and said, "Dare to throw a snowball at me and see what happens?"

Chen Hao's faced soured as he dropped the snowball in his hand, but then he suddenly leaned in and breathed on Ye Yuqiao's eyes, fogging up her vision.

"You're naughty!"

Half an hour later, Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao finished making the snowman and returned home. By then, another person had appeared in the living room—Zhao Chong!

"Zhao Chong!" Ye Yuqiao exclaimed in surprise, "When did you get here?"

"A quarter of an hour ago," Zhao Chong said expressionlessly, "I saw Her Majesty playing with Chen Hao in the snow just now, so I didn't disturb you."

Suddenly, the corners of Ye Yuqiao's mouth twisted bitterly, wondering if Zhao Chong had seen her kissing Chen Hao. Wouldn't that be too unseemly?

"Tall, rich, and handsome, did you come by today because there's something particularly important?" Chen Hao asked Zhao Chong.

Zhao Chong nodded his head and then stood up from the sofa, walking over to Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao. He said, "According to the investigations of the supposed ancient city map puzzles these days, I've uncovered a secret. Besides the four Demon-Sealing Scrolls placed within the four major families, the other scrolls containing pieces of the map have all fallen into the hands of the Ghost King!"

Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao were both startled.

"Moreover, in these past few years, I've personally sent people to investigate throughout the Netherworld and have not found any sign of the Ghost King. I suspect the Ghost King has entered these Demon-Sealing Scrolls to cultivate," Zhao Chong continued.

"A day in reality is equivalent to a month within the scrolls. If the Ghost King has been cultivating in seclusion for over ten years, and if it really has been cultivating inside the Demon-Sealing Scrolls, doesn't that mean it has cultivated for several hundred years!" Chen Hao exclaimed. He paused, then added, "Moreover, the figures sealed in these scrolls are the incarnations of the Nether King's Power. If the Ghost King has been able to defeat these incarnations, doesn't that mean its power could now rival that of the Nether King's Power!"
