Ye Yuqiao dragged Chen Hao into the door and immediately closed it. She then picked up a brush dipped in dog blood from a bowl on the ground and quickly drew a talisman behind the door.

"Ugh!" At this moment, when Bi Luo, the fairy who had wanted to come through the door, collided with the dog blood painted talisman, she let out a deep hiss and immediately withdrew outside.

Dog blood, being an object of extreme Yang, had always been an essential item for Onmyoji to deal with Yin Souls.

Ye Yuqiao turned to Chen Hao and urged him, "Don't stand there dumbfounded, grab a brush and draw talismans on the glass of the room's window so the Seven Fairies can't get in!"

"Oh!" Chen Hao nodded with a dazed gaze, then picked up a brush from the bowl filled with dog blood and headed to his own room. Just as he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and exclaimed, "But I can't draw!"

Ye Yuqiao glanced at him helplessly, then strode over, snatched the brush from Chen Hao's hand, and went straight into the room, leaving only a hasty command, "I'll go draw the talisman; you stand guard at the door. If any of those Seven Fairies try to squeeze through the wall, throw dog blood on them!"

"Then why don't we draw talismans on the walls as well?"

"Idiot! It would be hard to clean off the walls!" Ye Yuqiao said while busily splashing the brush on the glass.

"Oh!" Chen Hao said sheepishly.

Suddenly, behind the couch against the wall, Chen Hao saw a wisp of bluish-green hair pouring out from inside the wall, followed by the fluttering hem of a purple gauze skirt. His eyes widened and he ran outside as if he were flying, then picked up the porcelain bowl filled with dog blood from the ground. Carefully holding the bowl, he returned to the side of the couch, where he splashed dog blood on Bi Luo, the fairy, as half of her face emerged from within the wall.

"Ah!" Accompanied by Bi Luo's scream, a wisp of black smoke rose from around her, as if she were being burnt.

Chen Hao watched as half of Bi Luo's face and half her body, that had been splashed with dog blood, reverted to her original form as a red-clothed vengeful ghost, while the other half of her face, untouched by the dog blood, maintained the fairy's appearance, creating an immensely split visage. The half that had turned into a red-clothed female ghost and that half of her face began to char, emitting smoke with a "ssss" sound.

Chen Hao stood by, watching until Bi Luo's body retreated back through the wall. He turned to Ye Yuqiao, both surprised and delighted, and said, "Ye Yuqiao, Bi Luo got splashed with dog blood, half her face is destroyed!"

By this time, Ye Yuqiao had finished drawing talismans in Chen Che's room and came out, looking at the couch covered in dog blood, she sighed, "What a pity for this couch!"

Chen Hao walked up to Ye Yuqiao, wrapped his arms around her waist teasingly, and said, "I didn't expect you to be so thrifty and domestic."

Ye Yuqiao glanced at Chen Hao coldly and suddenly raised her hand with the brush she was holding and drew a big red X across Chen Hao's face, then let out a snicker.

"Ye Yuqiao, you.." Chen Hao was a bit surprised, he hadn't expected Ye Yuqiao to have such a mischievous side. He gently pinched Ye Yuqiao's waist and murmured softly, "Don't forget you are the Nether King, why are you acting like a little girl?"

Hearing this, Ye Yuqiao's face suddenly darkened, and her expression returned to its usual coldness.

"Haha!" Chen Che took the opportunity to snatch the brush from Ye Yuqiao's hand and drew a big red circle on her stern face.

Ye Yuqiao pursed her lips, gazing at Chen Che with a plaintive look that somewhat betrayed her feelings of being wronged.

"Oh, come on, don't be mad, it was just a joke!" Chen Che said, frowning. As he spoke, he continued to draw a few strokes on Ye Yuqiao's face, eventually finishing with a pattern of a sun. After completing his artwork, he looked at Ye Yuqiao with a smug smile and added, "I bestow upon you a sun, Ye Yuqiao, with the hope that you will stop being so solemn all the time and be as joyful as you were just now."

Ye Yuqiao snatched the brush back, holding a grudge as she spoke, "You drew so many lines on my face, and I only drew two on yours—I need to even the score!"

With that, she lifted her hand and drew a turtle on the other side of Chen Che's face. After she finished, she smiled with pursed lips and hmphed coldly, "I bestow upon you a turtle—quite fitting for your temperament."

Chen Che grimaced and laughed helplessly, secretly sighing to himself about how unexpectedly childish Ye Yuqiao could be and pondering what kind of person she really was.

After a few seconds of silence, Chen Che led Ye Yuqiao behind the door, then activated his Nether Eye Power and triggered the Nether Vision technique. Two seconds later, his vision pierced through the iron gate. At that moment, the Seven Fairies were no longer in sight outside the door.

Chen Che turned to look at Ye Yuqiao, intending to tell her that the Seven Fairies had left, but because he didn't turn off his Nether Vision, he inadvertently caught sight of Ye Yuqiao again.

Ye Yuqiao sighed helplessly with a stern face and then turned to face Chen Che, rolling her eyes at him, "Hey, let's get to the point, will you?"

Chen Che chuckled foolishly and then said, "It seems like the Seven Fairies have already left, but they'll definitely come back, maybe next time bringing along people from the Yin Yang Master Association."

"Hmm!" Ye Yuqiao nodded thoughtfully. "Although I've learned some Yin Yang Arts over the years, they are merely the basics and hardly enough to deal with specters like the Seven Fairies! We can't always rely on dog's blood to drive them away; we need to find a way to get rid of them."

"What kind of method could we possibly have to deal with them?"

"Right, what about that diary your grandfather left you? Let's see if there are any methods to exorcise evil spirits inside."

"Hmm!" Chen Che nodded.

Having walked just a few steps towards the room, something strange happened in the living room. On the wall-side Eight Immortals table, the ancestral spirit tablets began to shake, making "thud thud thud" noises similar to knocking.

Chen Che stopped in his tracks and glanced back at Ye Yuqiao, puzzlement in his eyes. Ye Yuqiao met his gaze and was equally perplexed.

After a moment's hesitation, Chen Che turned around and slowly walked towards the Eight Immortals table. The moment he approached, the ancestral spirit tablets in two rows suddenly flashed with golden light, and then the tablet at the very top, on the left end, tilted sideways and fell to the ground. Then, the golden light vanished, and the spirit tablets settled down.

Chen Che was jolted, and he turned his head to give Ye Yuqiao a blank look before turning back again. He walked to the fallen spirit tablet as if his feet were leaden, bent over, and with trembling hands, he picked up the tablet.

As he was about to place the tablet back in its original position, he suddenly discovered a dusty book lying in the spot where the tablet had been.

"So there was a book hidden underneath the spirit tablet?" Chen Hao exclaimed in surprise.

Ye Yuqiao immediately walked over to Chen Hao, picked up the book, and after dusting off the layer of dust on it, she read the ancient characters on the blue cover, "Book of Yin and Yang Exorcism."

After finishing, she continued to flip through the book. Fortunately, although the cover of the book was damaged, the pages inside were still intact, only slightly yellowed. However, judging by the smell when the pages were turned, it must have been several hundred years old.

Suddenly feeling the weight of the spirit tablet in his hand, Chen Hao carefully placed the spirit tablet back in its original position and asked, "What's written in the book?"

"Strange!" Ye Yuqiao's gaze left the book and looked toward the air in front of her, full of confusion. "Why are all the pages blank?"

"Blank pages?" Chen Hao was astonished and immediately took the book from Ye Yuqiao's hands. As soon as he turned to the first page, he saw the words written on it, "This book is the Chen Family's ancestral secret, only able to be seen by the descendants of the Chen Family."

"Isn't this written here?" Chen Hao felt puzzled and showed the page to Ye Yuqiao.

Ye Yuqiao looked at the page; to her, it was still completely blank. She looked up at Chen Hao with surprise and sighed, "There's still nothing here!"

"Ah!" Chen Hao was astonished and pointed at the words on the book, "The text is right here, this book is.."

Inadvertently, Chen Hao's eyes shone with a bright light, and he came to an abrupt realization, "It says only the descendants of the Chen Family can see it!"

"So that's why I couldn't see anything!" Ye Yuqiao squinted her eyes and nodded, then with a look of surprise, she said, "It seems your ancestor heard what we were just discussing, so he let you obtain this book. Quickly see if there is anything about dealing with malevolent spirits."

Chen Hao hummed in agreement and continued to flip through the book. When he reached the second page, he read the words, "First chapter, The Art of Communicating with Spirits!"

He continued to flip and read, "The Art of Soul Separation.."

Flipping further, he continued to read, "The Art of Journeying Underworld.."

Turning another page, Chen Hao cried out in surprise, "Eh, what's going on, it's blank pages now!"

He then turned to look at the back pages of the book, which were all blank. "What's going on, I can only see the text of the first four pages, and then nothing after that!"

"Only letting you see The Art of Soul Separation and The Art of Journeying Underworld, could there be some deeper meaning?" Ye Yuqiao muttered to herself.

"Could it be telling me to find someone? This Art of Soul Separation is about separating the Yin soul from the physical body, and The Art of Journeying Underworld is about how to travel to the Netherworld. Could it be that I'm supposed to.."

Ye Yuqiao's eyes sparkled with light as she said, "It's telling you to find your grandfather!"

After a pause, Ye Yuqiao continued, "That must be it, your grandfather must know something, hence you should find your grandfather."

Chen Hao, excited at the prospect of seeing his grandfather, nodded repeatedly and said, "Alright, alright, I'll go to the Netherworld to see my grandfather right now!"

Following the method described in the Book of Yin and Yang Exorcism, Chen Hao placed two candles on the Eight Immortals table, lit three incense sticks, and then took off his shirt and smeared dog blood on pivotal points - his shoulders, between his eyebrows, on his chest, and on his privates. He then closed his eyes and chanted repeatedly, "With a body filled with Yang Energy, what place remains for Yin; with a body filled with Yang Energy, what place remains for Yin.."

As he chanted, he gradually felt his entire body becoming light and floaty.

To Ye Yuqiao's eyes, the physical body of Chen Hao, which had been standing in front of the Eight Immortals table, was slowly leaning backwards, while his Yin Soul, which was separating from his physical body, remained standing.

Not long after, Chen Hao's physical body completely lay on the ground, and Ye Yuqiao shouted, "Chen Hao, you can open your eyes now."

Chen Hao opened his eyes and looked back to see another him lying on the ground, which startled him. After catching his breath, he flashed a smile at Ye Yuqiao and walked towards her. He reached out to grasp Ye Yuqiao's hand but was shocked to find that he couldn't touch her body at all, as if he was grabbing at the air.

"What's happening?"

"Silly, you are in your Yin Soul state; of course, you can't touch me," Ye Yuqiao explained.

Chen Hao made a wry face and said, "I was thinking of embracing you before heading down to the Netherworld."

"Do you really want to embrace that much?" Ye Yuqiao asked expressionlessly.

Chen Hao nodded repeatedly.

At that moment, Ye Yuqiao got closer to Chen Hao, blew a breath of Yang Energy onto his Yin Soul, and said, "There, I've blown some Yang Energy onto you. Embrace quickly, or once the Yang Energy disperses, you won't be able to hug anymore."

Chen Hao immediately wrapped his arms around Ye Yuqiao and planted a kiss on her cold lips, laughing excitedly, "This floating hug and kiss feels really amazing."

Ye Yuqiao gave Chen Hao an unamused glance and said coldly, "All right, you should go and find your grandfather. Remember to be careful, just go to the Netherworld's gates to find Niu Tou and Ma Mian, don't venture deep inside the Netherworld, be wary of evil spirits dragging you away."

"Got it!"

Then, Chen Hao let go of Ye Yuqiao, closed his eyes, and chanted, "Yin and Yang know no bounds, where can Yin not go; Yin and Yang are limitless, where can Yin not go.."
