"This!" Seeing Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao walking towards a withered tree laden with red ribbons on a branch, the driver showed a helpless look on his face and said, "You two, I'll go down to the car first and wait for you!"

"Okay!" Chen Hao answered loudly.

When they reached the base of the withered tree, Chen Hao looked at Ye Yuqiao and said, "Young lady, would you like to grow old with me?"

After a shy smile, Ye Yuqiao shook her head and said, "I'm not willing! I don't just want to grow old with you; I wish to be with you for eternity!"

As she spoke, Ye Yuqiao's voice became lower and lower, and the rosiness on her face grew more and more vibrant.

"Hmm, I'm willing too!" Chen Hao said with a smile, his face brimming with happiness, "Let's go tie the red ribbons!"

"Okay!"

After tying two red ribbons to the branch, Chen Hao suddenly opened his arms and embraced Ye Yuqiao, holding her tightly and saying affectionately, "Yuqiao, we must stay together in the future!"

Instantly, two tears were provoked in Ye Yuqiao's eyes. Chen Hao's sudden show of affection and fear of loss made her feel the full extent of his care and love for her.

"Mm!" Ye Yuqiao responded hoarsely, "Jerk, you can't let me down, nor can you bully me. I really have nothing besides you!"

Chen Hao slightly tilted his head to the side and kissed Ye Yuqiao's lightly fragranced hair, feeling sympathy for her sensitivity. After a moment, he whispered, "Fool, how could I ever let you down or bully you? I'll treasure you like a precious gem! I'm going to make you feel like having me is like having the whole world."

"Alright!" Yuqiao lifted her head to look up at Chen Hao, her eyes shimmering with tears, "I can't give you much; perhaps all I can give you is this heart of mine and myself."

"To me, those are the best two things in the world, so priceless!" Chen Hao said, while slowly moving his hands down to embrace Ye Yuqiao's slender and soft waist.

After gazing into each other's eyes with affection for a while, their lips came together.

Closing her eyes and enjoying the warmth and softness coming from Chen Hao's side, Ye Yuqiao silently marveled at the wonder of fate within her heart: two people destined to be apart were tied together by a melody of flute music they happened to hear and the entrustment of the Nether King's Heart.

All of this was beyond her wildest expectations. At this moment, all she wanted was to hold tightly to this hard-won fate and make that beautiful eternal promise a reality.

"We will definitely make it to the end!" Ye Yuqiao silently said to herself.

Half an hour later, Chen Hao carried Ye Yuqiao on his back down Mount Yue Lao. Once they were in the car, the driver quickly drove them towards Jiayu Town.

From what they had learned thus far, it was highly likely that the driver and his wife had been deliberately trapped by some spell cast by the feng shui master, resulting in an insoluble situation. Therefore, Chen Hao needed to first visit the driver's home to see if there were any unclean things, and then he planned to confront that extortionist feng shui master.

Not long after the car started, the driver asked, "Young man, has the matter with Yue Lao really been settled? Can I get divorced now?"

"Whether you can divorce or not doesn't have much to do with Yue Lao; it's about the feng shui of your home. So I need to take a look at your house first and, ideally, check out your family grave," Chen Hao answered.

"Yes, yes, yes!" the driver kept responding, "You've really put me in your debt. If you can help me get a divorce, I'll agree to anything you ask of me!"

"You're that eager to divorce your wife? Is there really no room for a turnaround?" Chen Hao inquired.

Through the rear-view mirror inside the car, Chen Hao saw the driver's face suddenly turn very ugly.

Puzzled, the driver turned back and gave Chen Hao a cold glance, asking, "What would you think if one day you found your girlfriend naked in bed with another boy?"

Chen Hao's face immediately darkened. Although annoyed, he said nothing. The driver's question was valid; if the same thing happened to him, he would certainly find it hard to accept too.

"Hmph!" Ye Yuqiao was no longer pleased, glaring at the driver while saying angrily, "I would never do such a thing, and please be respectful when you speak!"

"Miss, please forgive me, I didn't mean it that way!" the driver apologized with a pained expression.

Chen Hao squeezed Ye Yuqiao's hand tightly and silently said to her, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger; he just wanted me to put myself in his shoes and didn't mean any offense towards you. Besides, how could you do such a thing when you're so smitten with me?"

"I don't like this guy," Ye Yuqiao said with a sullen face, "If he annoys me again, we're not helping him. Did you hear that?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Chen Hao agreed repeatedly, seeing the annoyed Ye Yuqiao as a petulant little girl, "It's right for you to dislike this guy, otherwise I'll make him regret it!"

After driving for nearly an hour on the winding mountain road, the car entered Jiayu Town where the driver lived.

Though only a small town, Jiayu Town could be said to be prosperous, possessing all the essentials, unlike the remote Feishi Town and Wangu Town.

After circling the town's main streets for a while, the car finally stopped in front of a detached house.

"We've arrived at my house!" the driver announced, then quickly got out of the car to open the door for Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao.

As they got out of the car and approached the door, it suddenly opened, and a little boy about seven or eight years old burst out from inside, excitedly shouting, "Daddy, you're back!"

This little boy was the driver's son—Nannan.

The moment Chen Hao saw Nannan, he became alert because he clearly sensed a trace of evil Yin Qi on the boy. Furthermore, Nannan's eyes were dull, and there was a slight darkness between his eyebrows, signs that he was entangled with something filthy, which explained his poor spirit.

"Daddy, who is this brother and this beautiful sister?" Nannan looked up and asked Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao.

Hearing herself being called a beautiful sister, Ye Yuqiao instantly bloomed with joy, albeit slightly embarrassed.

Seeing Ye Yuqiao blush, Chen Hao couldn't help but feel secretly delighted, finding her even more adorable and really wanted to tease her.

"These two are," the driver said hesitantly as he looked towards Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao, "are... daddy's friends."

"This sister is so pretty!" Nannan exclaimed with wide eyes as he looked at Ye Yuqiao.

"Ha ha!" Chen Hao laughed out loud and then whispered to Ye Yuqiao, "Girlfriend, kids never lie!"

Ye Yuqiao lifted her hand and pinched Chen Hao's arm, whispering, "Annoying guy, you just want to see me embarrassed, don't you?"

"Young man," the driver then addressed Chen Hao, "this is my home. Would you like to stand outside for a bit, or would you rather come in and sit for a while?"

"Let's go in for a cup of tea first!" Chen Hao smiled.

Then, the driver and his son Nannan welcomed Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao into their home.

As they entered the driver's home, Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao both smelled an eerie scent of Yin Qi. Clearly, there was something unclean in the driver's house, and that thing was most likely a fierce ghost.

However, what puzzled Chen Hao was that there was clearly a talisman for warding off evil on the driver's door. How did this fierce ghost manage to enter the driver's house?

Seeing Chen Hao staring at the talisman on the door, the driver came over and asked in confusion, "Young man, what's wrong with this talisman? It was put there by a local exorcist years ago; he said it could ward off evil spirits and exorcise ghosts."

"That exorcist again!" Chen Hao thought to himself, "It seems very likely that this exorcist is causing trouble behind the scenes!"

"Daddy, Mommy is sleeping upstairs, I'm going to tell her we have guests!" Nannan suddenly tugged at the driver's hand and said. With that, he dashed up the stairs.

Watching Nannan safely make it upstairs, the driver's furrowed brows finally relaxed. As a father, he was constantly worried about his child's safety, fearing that the child might fall while running too quickly.

"Please have a seat, I'll go make some tea!" the driver said cheerily, ushering Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao onto the couch.

"Beautiful sister," Chen Hao said teasingly as he held Ye Yuqiao's hand, "there are ghosts in this house."

"Naughty!" Ye Yuqiao responded, lifting her hand to pinch Chen Hao's cheek, "You can call me beautiful in the future, but you're not allowed to call me sister."

"Why not?"

"Because I need to be taken care of by you, so calling me sister isn't appropriate."

"Then I'll call you Yuqiao little sister!"

Ye Yuqiao immediately made a disgusted face and complained, "That's even worse! I'm a queen; it would be a crime of lese-majesty for you to call me that."

Just as Chen Hao was about to speak again, suddenly, he frowned, feeling an instant surge of creepy Yin Qi filling the room. Immediately, he turned his head towards the stairway and saw Nannan slowly walking down the stairs, holding a woman's hand.

That woman was the driver's wife, also Nannan's mother. She looked pale and exceedingly haggard, as if the effects of a broken marital relationship had led to her condition. Beneath the pallor of her cheeks, Chen Hao saw a faint dark purple, as though another face was lurking within.

Therefore, Chen Hao immediately activated his Nether Vision Technique.

"You can only look at the face; don't glance down!" Ye Yuqiao suddenly cautioned Chen Hao sternly by his ear.

"Mmhmm!" Chen Hao acknowledged and then concentrated his gaze entirely on the driver's wife's face.

Two seconds later!

Indeed, everything was as Chen Hao had expected: The driver's wife was indeed haunted by a malevolent male ghost.

Seeing the glaring tattoo around the ghost's neck, Chen Hao surmised that he must have been some sort of a thug in life. A watermelon knife was still stuck in his head, clearly indicating he had been hacked to death.

"Close your Nether Vision now!" Ye Yuqiao's angry voice rang in Chen Hao's ears.

"Oh!" Chen Hao complied and closed the Nether Vision Technique in his left eye.
