Although Chen Hao was utterly surprised by the kiss Ye Yuqiao suddenly planted on his lips, he quickly became lost in the warmth and softness of her kisses and closed his eyes, wrapping his arms tightly around Yuqiao's waist, giving himself over to the kiss wholeheartedly.

Soon after, Yuqiao's lips left Chen Hao's, and she looked up at him, her captivating eyes seemingly brimming with tears, and said with a sad tone, "Boyfriend, my heart aches for you!"

Chen Hao's lips twitched twice, and he immediately felt his heart filled with a warm happiness. He lifted his hand to caress Yuqiao's smooth cheek and smiled slightly, "I won't lie to you, I would gladly endure a hundred times the agony of heart-wrenching torture for just one of your sympathies. To me, there's nothing more moving than your concern."

"Fool!" Yuqiao said with a dreamy smile, "I am already your Yuqiao, and I always will be, until the eternity we've promised. My concern is not that expensive, on the contrary, it will be readily available in the days to come."

Chen Hao showed a hint of a blissful smile and hugged Yuqiao into his arms, saying, "Even if it's readily available, I will treasure it all the more in the future. How I wish we could defeat the Ghost King soon, so that we could..."

Chen Hao suddenly stopped speaking.

"So that we could what?"

"So that we could become a carefree immortal couple! And before that, I want to hold a wedding in the mortal world and invite our friends to join us. I also want to invite Grandpa, Niu Tou, Ma Mian, and Zhao Chong from the Netherworld to accept everyone's blessings for us," Chen Hao said, his eyes filled with longing.

Looking at Chen Hao's innocent and expectant face, Yuqiao revealed a dazed smile, then nestled into Chen Hao's embrace and whispered with closed eyes, "That sounds quite appealing, I just hope that day comes sooner rather than later!"

Although she said this, deep in Yuqiao's heart there was a lurking worry and despair. She only hoped that everything would go smoothly, that fate would fulfill their beautiful vows, hoping that the thing she fretted about would not happen!

After embracing for a while, the two separated.

After leaving a light kiss on Yuqiao's forehead, Chen Hao frowned and asked, "Girlfriend, do you feel a strong Yang Energy?"

"Mm!" Yuqiao nodded and then began looking around while saying, "Generally, animals require absorbing a lot of Yang Energy to transform into yao. This forest is teeming with supernatural beings, there must be a huge source of Yang Energy providing what they need for cultivation. This Yang Energy is likely from that source, and where we are now is probably a cultivation site for them."

"Girlfriend, you are so knowledgeable!" Chen Hao said admiringly as he looked at Yuqiao.

Yuqiao smirked proudly and then said, "Of course! Anyway, boyfriend, let's find the exit and get out of here quickly, so as not to worry Xie Xiaofeng and Tang Jing."

"Let's stay a bit longer to give them more time alone and also give us more time together!"

The purple Nether Light shot out of Chen Hao's left eye again, and the two followed that scent of Yang Energy deeper into the dark tunnel ahead.

After walking for almost four minutes,

Suddenly, the underground passage trembled slightly, and a few faint yao energies emerged from the earth around them.

Chen Hao hugged Yuqiao's waist tight, afraid that she might get even the slightest injury.

However, when the soil on both sides of them was overturned and they saw huge rat yao tunneling out of the ground, Chen Hao's face turned pale with fright, and he immediately hid behind Yuqiao.

After giving him a disdainful glance, Yuqiao chuckled.

Then, as the rat yao from both sides began to encroach, Yuqiao quickly drew out the Evil-Banishing Moon Sword from her pocket and deftly killed the charging rat yao.

Seeing one enormous rat yao after another falling before them, Chen Hao screamed in terror, circling Yuqiao, trying to escape and dodge in a most pitiful manner.

It was not long before the corpses of the rat yao began to vanish, and Chen Hao's frightened heart finally calmed down.

"Just a few rat yao and you're scared like this," Yuqiao rolled her eyes at the embarrassed Chen Hao, "how can I count on you to protect me in the future?"

"I don't know why, but I've been scared of rats since I was little!" Chen Hao said, gasping for breath.

"Alright, alright!" Yuqiao hugged Chen Hao, "With me, your queen here, you have nothing to fear!"

"Mm!"

The two continued forward, and the Yang Energy hanging in the air grew increasingly intense.

"We're almost there!" Chen Hao said to Yuqiao.

"Mm! Be careful!"

Five minutes later.

Yuqiao suddenly stopped in her tracks and quickly grabbed Chen Hao's arm, cautioning, "Be careful, there's yao qi!"

"Where is it?" Chen Hao asked in confusion.

"Don't you have a Compass?"

"Oh right!" Chen Hao's eyes shimmered as he took out a compass from his coat pocket. At that moment, a purple glow was flickering on the compass, but the light wasn't very dazzling, indicating that the monster's yao qi wasn't too strong.

After a swift turn, the compass needle pointed straight ahead on the path.

"Is it up ahead?" Chen Hao asked, while the Nether Light in his left eye illuminated the dark, eerie tunnel ahead.

"No, that's not right," Yuqiao said, furrowing her brows and shaking her head, "it should be on the ground just a few steps in front of us!"

After saying this, Yuqiao used the Nether King's Power to pry a large stone from the wall to her left and threw it onto the ground, half a meter in front of them.

With a "thud," the large stone fell onto the ground and began to sink slowly into the road surface.

Chen Hao's eyes gleamed.

"This is a Mud Spirit!" Yuqiao said, her brows furrowed.

Suddenly, the ground in front of them twisted and transformed, approaching Chen Hao and Yuqiao as if a wave. Soon after, a sensation like stepping on a quilted blanket came under Chen Hao's feet, and, like that large stone before, he and Yuqiao sank into the ground below.
