The night was deep.

The continuous heavy snow for two days and nights had finally ceased.

Seeing Chen Hao, Ye Yuqiao, Xie Xiaofeng, and Tang Chao four people coming out from the dead old lady's house, the village chief and several villagers who had been standing outside waiting for a long time immediately approached them.

"Young man, how did it go? Is the old lady willing to leave?" the village chief asked.

Chen Hao shook his head and smiled, "Give us one more day. After tomorrow night's New Year's Eve, the old lady will definitely leave!"

"Oh! Good!" the village chief nodded with a happy expression on his face. "Since that's the case, all four of you should stay in our village for the New Year. Tomorrow, I will arrange for the villagers to slaughter pigs and sheep so we can all have a lively reunion dinner together!"

Chen Hao waved his hands repeatedly, and then with an apologetic smile said, "Village chief, we appreciate your kindness, but we've already made other arrangements for tomorrow night's reunion dinner."

"Are you four leaving tomorrow?" the village chief said, his face full of disappointment.

"No, we'll probably have to stay in the village until after the New Year before leaving. We hope the village chief won't find us to be a nuisance, haha!"

"Of course not!" the village chief replied hastily, "But since you four are not planning to leave, does that mean you want to prepare your own reunion dinner?"

"Village chief! Don't worry, we have our own plans, so we won't trouble the fellow villagers for tomorrow night's reunion dinner. Everyone should just enjoy the meal at home with their families, don't worry about us!"

After returning to their lodging and warming up the kang, the village chief left with the villagers.

At this point, Tang Jing once again clung to Ye Yuqiao's arm, laughing, "Yuqiao, tonight you are mine!"

"Tang Jing, I just lent Yuqiao to you for last night, don't even think about it tonight!" Chen Hao looked at Tang Jing with disdainful eyes.

"Exactly!" Xie Xiaofeng chimed in, "If it's anyone's turn, it should be mine, Xie Xiaofeng's!"

Such a statement from Xie Xiaofeng, of course, earned him a resentful look from Chen Hao.

After a bitter smile, Xie Xiaofeng quickly went to his room, leaving behind only the words, "I, Xie Xiaofeng, voluntarily withdraw from the battle for Yuqiao!"

After Xie Xiaofeng had left, Chen Hao approached Ye Yuqiao's right side and took her hand, saying, "Girlfriend, it's your choice between her and me."

"Yuqiao, don't leave me alone," Tang Jing said with a pitiful, pleading tone.

"Alright, tonight I'll still sleep with Tang Jing!" After choosing Tang Jing, Ye Yuqiao then broke free from Chen Hao's hand and walked towards the room with Tang Jing, both talking and laughing.

However, not long after, Ye Yuqiao's voice rang in Chen Hao's mind: "Boyfriend, after she falls asleep, I'll come to find you, you better think of a good story to lull me to sleep!"

..

The next day, after lunch, Chen Hao and his group drove to the mine where the old lady's son used to work, which was now covered by thick white snow at the entrance of the collapsed mine.

"This is the place!" the villager told Chen Hao and Xie Xiaofeng.

"Girlfriend, can you smell the Yin Soul's scent?" Chen Hao quietly asked Ye Yuqiao.

"Yes!" Ye Yuqiao quickly replied, "I smell the Yin Qi of eight Yin Souls and also a demonic aura."

"A demonic aura?" Chen Hao was startled, "Could it be that the reason the old lady couldn't find her son's Yin Soul has something to do with this demonic aura?"

"You should use your Nether Vision to check!"

"Yes!"

After agreeing, Chen Hao activated the Nether Vision Technique as Ye Yuqiao had instructed. Two seconds later, his vision pierced through the cavity blocked by thick soil and huge rocks and directly saw deep into the mine.

Instantly, a look of shock appeared on Chen Hao's face. He saw that at the bottom of this mine, there were eight Yin Souls wrapped in circle after circle of milky white spider silk.

The eight Yin Souls were all at the edge of a huge spider web, and at the center of the web was a black, giant spider continuously emitting green smoke.

"This is a spider demon!" Ye Yuqiao's voice once again echoed in Chen Hao's mind, "The old lady's son should be one of these eight Yin Souls."

"Hmm!" Chen Hao nodded, then took out the compass from his pocket. The compass was flashing with purple light, but the glow was somewhat dim.

Regarding this, Chen Hao thought to himself, "The demon energy from this spider demon isn't very strong, so it shouldn't be too difficult to deal with. I'll leave my body as a Yin Soul and go rescue those eight Yin Souls below the mine."

"Hmm!" Ye Yuqiao agreed, "Still, you must be careful and cautious, lest the spider demon sprays some poison gas that could erode your Yin Soul."

"Alright, don't worry!"

After informing Xie Xiaofeng and Tang Jing, Chen Hao then used a technique to detach his soul from his body.

Next, guided by the Nether Light in his left eye, Chen Hao's Yin Soul slowly moved through the soil and stone and arrived at the bottom of the hole, coming face to face with the black, giant spider.

For safety, Chen Hao immediately drew two of the Ancestor of the Nether King's hand blades from his pocket and combined the two daggers to form the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade, then swung it toward the giant spider.

To Chen Hao's surprise, the giant spider was weaker than he had imagined, and it was annihilated with just a sweep of the blade's energy.

After a while, seeing no terrible poison gas arising and the giant spider showing no signs of revival, Chen Hao used the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade to destroy the huge spider web, and the eight Yin Souls ensnared by the web were freed.

..

Half an hour later, Chen Hao and his group drove back to the village. There was now an additional Yin Soul in the car, which was the old lady's son.

After getting out of the car, the four people walked straight to the old lady's house.

After pushing open the door, the old lady's son rushed in and shouted, "Old mother, your son has returned!"

"My child!" The old lady's wailing cries rose instantly.

"Let's not go in!" Chen Hao said, "Let's just wait to have a sumptuous reunion dinner tonight!"

As night deepened, after declining the village chief and the villagers' invitations again, the group of four arrived at the old lady's house. Although on the surface the house seemed eerily quiet, once they activated their Yin Yang Eyes, the four could see a picture of a family in joyous reunion: the old lady was still busy cooking in the kitchen, while her son was helping to serve dishes.

After a while, everyone was seated, and the table was piled high with a feast of delicious food.

"Thank you all, for helping me find my son, allowing us mother and son to have one last New Year's Eve dinner together, before we take the road together!" the old lady said, tearfully grateful, her body now free of resentment.

"Boyfriend, this is my first time having a New Year's Eve dinner," Ye Yuqiao whispered to Chen Hao.

"How does it feel?"

"It's very cozy, especially when I saw the old lady and her son busily preparing the reunion dinner just now."

"Come on," Xie Xiaofeng, holding up a cup full of drinks, stood up, "Happy New Year's Eve to everyone, happy new year, and of course, we wish the old lady and uncle a smooth journey, and may they be mother and son again in the next life!"

"Thank you, everyone, happy new year!"
