However, at this moment, Ye Fei suddenly leaped out of the Nether Acupoint, just as Chen Hao was being sucked into it.

One minute before, Ye Fei was startled to see a purple vortex suddenly emerge on the ground in front of him while he was sitting on the ground meditating and regulating his breathing in the Nether Acupoint. He wondered what this purple vortex was all about.

While still pondering, Ye Fei saw three strands of peculiar gas shimmering with a black sheen flowing out from the orchid above his head, then rushing into the purple vortex in front of him and vanishing.

After hesitating for a while, Ye Fei jumped into the vortex. He wanted to test if the vortex was an exit from this mysterious place and then return to take Ye Yuqiao, Xie Xiaofeng, and Tang Jing away with him.

When he emerged from the vortex to find himself on a snow-covered mountain, Ye Fei's face lit up with joy, not knowing that danger was approaching.

"Ye Fei!" Seeing Ye Fei brush past him, Chen Hao shouted out loud. He intended to use the Nether King's Power to pull Ye Fei back into the Nether Acupoint, but Ye Fei was already wrapped in a coil of red smoke and the Nether Acupoint closed at that moment.

"Don't panic, don't panic!" Chen Hao kept reminding himself after he saw Ye Yuqiao lying unconscious not far in front of him.

As long as Ye Yuqiao was by his side, even the most urgent situations could not disturb Chen Hao's peace of mind.

He walked over and sat down beside Ye Yuqiao, cradling her in his arms. As the unique fragrance of Ye Yuqiao filled his nostrils, Chen Hao's mind grew calmer and he began to reason about Ye Fei's current situation.

After contemplating for a while, Chen Hao guessed that King Xin likely wouldn't kill Ye Fei but would keep him as a hostage to lure him out.

Moreover, even if King Xin killed Ye Fei, there was still the sealed Mermaid's Heart in his chest that could revive him. The last time Chen Hao rescued Ye Fei from under the bridge pier, Ye Fei had been soaked underwater for nearly a day and a night, which meant that Ye Fei's revival time would not be as quick as Chen Hao's. At worst, he needed to rescue Ye Fei before his ninth revival, and if he based it on the previous speed, it would be at least seven days later.

Seven days might not be enough for others to find a way to deal with King Xin, but for Chen Hao, it was more than enough time. Plus, he had Ye Yuqiao by his side, who knew everything and whose strength was no less than King Xin's. What he needed to do now was to wake Ye Yuqiao up first.

"Yuqiao, Yuqiao!" Chen Hao whispered into the ear of the unconscious Ye Yuqiao.

After calling out a few times and seeing no response from Ye Yuqiao, Chen Hao gave up. Looking at Ye Yuqiao's face, which remained stunning even in unconsciousness, Chen Hao temporarily put all his worries aside. His gaze lingered on Ye Yuqiao's delicate facial features, feeling secretly thrilled and proud that she was his girlfriend and would be his lifelong companion.

After observing her for a while, Chen Hao began to play with Ye Yuqiao's cheek with interest. Sometimes he would gently touch the tip of her nose with his finger, sometimes he would pinch her soft, elastic cheeks, and sometimes he would mischievously squeeze her chin as if trying to make her look ugly.

After playing for some time, Chen Hao laughed and murmured to the unconscious Ye Yuqiao, "I wish I could just let you be a quiet fairy like this forever, what a pity!"

After speaking, Chen Hao leaned in close to Ye Yuqiao and kissed her, infusing the Nether King's Power from his body into hers through the kiss, attempting to see if this method could drive out the poison in Ye Yuqiao's blood.

Two minutes later, feeling the warm breath from Ye Yuqiao's nose and mouth, Chen Hao abruptly opened his eyes wide.

"Bastard," although Ye Yuqiao's eyes were still squinted into narrow lines, her voice rang in Chen Hao's mind. "Did you take advantage of me while I was unconscious again?"

"What do you mean 'taking advantage' of you? You already belong to me, so kissing is just natural!" Chen Hao happily thought to himself and made their kiss even more passionate.

When their lips finally parted, Ye Yuqiao looped her arms around Chen Hao's neck and, with her face against his chest, whispered softly, "It feels like I've been asleep for a very long time; it's been ages since I last saw my bastard."

Chen Hao chuckled, then whispered in Ye Yuqiao's ear, "It has been quite a while; you've been unconscious for two whole days and nights!"

"Strange?" Ye Yuqiao's voice suddenly filled with confusion, and her eyes began to dart around, "Why don't I see Ye Fei?"

Chen Hao sighed helplessly and began to recall the events of the past two days in his mind, so Ye Yuqiao would know what had transpired.

Upon revisiting the moment just before when Ye Fei had brushed past him and left the Nether Acupoint, Chen Hao stopped reminiscing and said, "That's what's happened."

However, upon learning of the events of the past two days, Ye Yuqiao neither marveled at the dangerous appearance of King Shuanglin nor felt regret for Ye Fei leaving the cave. Instead, she pinched Chen Hao's arm hard, her face darkening as she said, "Bastard, you looked at two other women's bodies while I was unconscious!"

"Ah!" Chen Hao immediately pulled a long face and then pleaded, "Yuqiao, you saw everything that just happened. None of it was intentional!"

"But you enjoyed it after you looked, and you even wanted to take another glance!" Ye Yuqiao grew angrier as she spoke, pinching Chen Hao's hand with increasing force. "Turns out you can't be trusted— you're infuriating!"

Seeing Ye Yuqiao truly angry with her face flushed red and her brows tightly furrowed, Chen Hao bore the pain, tightened his arms around Ye Yuqiao's waist to prevent her from leaving in a huff, and after a pause, he spoke in a deep voice, "Although I did have a tiny, tiny desire to take another look, I didn't look again."

Ye Yuqiao snorted in anger, gradually releasing Chen Hao's arm, but her furious gaze remained fixed on him.

"I'll let it slide this time," Ye Yuqiao said resentfully, "but if you look again, you'll kneel on the keyboard."

"Mhm!" Chen Hao nodded, the gloom on his face quickly dispelled by a look of delight, and then he swiftly changed the subject, "Yuqiao, what should we do next? How can we rescue Ye Fei from King Xin, or defeat King Xin directly?"

"Call me Your Majesty the Queen! I'm still angry!" Ye Yuqiao said coldly.

"Oh, Your Majesty the Queen!"

After a proud chuckle, Ye Yuqiao leaned her head back into Chen Hao's arms, her bright eyes contemplating as she said, "With the spiritual power in you right now, even if you erupted ten times, you might not be able to defeat King Xin."

"What about you?" Chen Hao asked, "With the Nether King's Power, Your Majesty the Queen should be able to teach her a good lesson, right? This time I approve of you using the Nether King's Power at will. If need be, we'll just cultivate more diligently afterwards."

"You're naughty!" Ye Yuqiao playfully pinched Chen Hao's cheek, which was slightly flushed as if mildly intoxicated. After shaking her head, she sighed and said, "But the Nether King's Power inside me is after all limited, and I can't eliminate her before it runs out. Her clone technique is quite unusual, any one of her clones can become her real body at any moment. In other words, every clone is her real body, and my bit of Nether King's Power can only kill ten of her."

"Looks like we need to think of another way," Chen Hao said with a frown.

"Boyfriend!" Ye Yuqiao suddenly sat up straight and brought her face close to Chen Hao, blinking at him with a hint of a smile in her eyes.

"What is it?"

After a smile, Ye Yuqiao left a warm, gentle kiss on each side of Chen Hao's face, then said in a lazy tone, "You're so clever, boyfriend, you're definitely going to think of a good solution, right?"

"Ah!" Chen Hao was startled, his head spinning from Ye Yuqiao's unprecedented tender approach, finally realizing that this was her way of encouraging and stimulating him with her beauty.

After a moment of stupefaction, Chen Hao pinched Ye Yuqiao's cheek and questioned, "Where did you learn this from? This is not at all in line with your cool temperament."

"I won't tell you. I've said before, I want to keep my mystery to you," she replied.

"Well, you've indeed attracted me, and as it happens, I really had a eureka moment and thought of a way to deal with King Xin!"

"Not bad!" Ye Yuqiao praised, then gave him a peck on the nose as a reward, "Quickly tell me, what's the method?"

Chen Hao leaned close to Ye Yuqiao's ear and began to describe the method for dealing with King Xin later on.

After listening to Chen Hao, Ye Yuqiao exclaimed in amazement, "It's truly an unexpected and deadly good strategy!"

Meanwhile, outside the Nether Acupoint.

Ye Fei was completely bound by peach branches.

"Sister, should we kill this boy?" the lady Tao Hua asked King Xin.

A bright angry light flashed in King Xin's eyes, her face still ferocious as she was annoyed by Chen Hao's recent escape.

"We can't kill him yet, we need to keep him as a hostage to lure that little rascal, Chen Hao, out!" King Xin said coldly, her tone clearly straining to contain her rage.

"Alright! Then I'll take him into the cave first. Once Chen Hao shows up again, I'll kill him immediately."

"Good!"

However, just as Tao Hua dragged Ye Fei to the entrance of the Fairy Cave, a black and purple crack suddenly tore open in the air in front of King Xin, and then Chen Hao emerged from the crack, hand in hand with Ye Yuqiao, landing in front of King Xin.

"Release my friend!" Chen Hao said.

"Tao Hua, kill his friend!" King Xin commanded immediately.

"Yes!" Tao Hua agreed, and straight away, she manipulated the peach branches twined around Ye Fei to pierce his body. Her heart was full of anger and jealousy at the sight of Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao holding hands tightly.

"You two heartless and ruthless women, today I will definitely not let you off!"

"Hmph!" King Xin scoffed contemptuously, "You got lucky escaping just now, I didn't expect you'd come back so soon, and even brought a silly girl to die with you."

"Is that so?" Ye Yuqiao said coldly, walking up to King Xin with a commanding presence and eyes full of intimidation. "You've angered me, and soon I will make you feel what true agony is like!"

"Oh?" King Xin sneered...
