"Stop looking! I don't want you as my boyfriend anymore!" Ye Yuqiao said anxiously and angrily.

When Chen Hao's gaze was drawn to the blue glow, he saw a mermaid who was almost bare-chested, trailing a glistening, crystal-like tail. A few strands of green seaweed barely covered the mermaid's chest. Her skin was creamy, and her delicate face was about the size of Chen Hao's hand, her features stunningly beautiful.

Upon seeing the mermaid, Chen Hao was immediately captivated by her appearance. This was exactly why Ye Yuqiao felt so angry.

"Ah!" Chen Hao snapped out of his wonder and quickly shifted his gaze, frantically trying to explain to Ye Yuqiao, "Your Majesty, I, I, I, I..."

For a moment, Chen Hao didn't know how to explain himself.

"Tell me, who do you think is prettier, her or me?"

Hearing Ye Yuqiao ask this, Chen Hao breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Of course it's Your Majesty, you. Not only are you more beautiful than her, but you're also more pleasing to look at, and most importantly, she can't hold a candle to you in terms of aura!"

"Really?" Ye Yuqiao said with a scowl, "Hmph! You were so smitten just now! I'll count this as a major strike against you today. If you accumulate three, I really won't want you as my boyfriend anymore."

"Oh," Chen Hao said coldly, thinking to himself that Ye Yuqiao was truly acting like a jealous girlfriend.

"Idiot, weren't you supposed to be observing the well? How did your attention drift to Yuqiao?" Xie Xiaofeng suddenly asked, "So, is there or isn't there a ghost at the bottom of the well?"

"There is!" Chen Hao said blankly, then inwardly asked Yuqiao, "Your Majesty, what should we do now? Should I keep looking into the well or not?"

"No!" Ye Yuqiao was very adamant, "Tell Xie Xiaofeng to go down and bring up both the female ghost and the mermaid. Doesn't he know how to transform using Yin and Yang Five Elements Magic? Turning into water and entering the well is perfect for him."

"Right!" Chen Hao agreed with Ye Yuqiao's suggestion and then turned to Xie Xiaofeng, "Xie Xiaofeng, in addition to a three-hundred-year-old female ghost, there's also a mermaid at the bottom of the well. Go down and find them now. There's an undercurrent down there; after you enter the undercurrent, it won't be long until you see them."

Xie Xiaofeng immediately squinted his eyes, questioning, "Why should it be me going down instead of you?"

Chen Hao gave him a sidelong glance, explaining, "The entrance to that undercurrent is too small; I probably won't be able to squeeze in, but it's different for you. You can transform into water."

After saying this, Chen Hao immediately stretched out his right hand to pat Xie Xiaofeng on the shoulder and with a strong push, shoved Xie Xiaofeng into the well.

"You jerk!" Xie Xiaofeng's voice grew fainter as he was pushed into the well. Finally, just before entering the water, he used the Yin and Yang Five Elements Magic to turn himself into a ladle of water, blending into the cold well water.

Seeing Xie Xiaofeng being pushed into the well by Chen Hao, the old man behind them was first stunned; then, not hearing the expected "plop" as Xie Xiaofeng hit the water, he was stunned again.

"My girl, why did that boy push the other boy into the water? And why was there no sound when the other boy fell into the water?" the old man asked, pointing at Chen Hao, his voice trembling badly.

Tang Jing chuckled lightly and said, "Grandpa, don't worry about them. As long as they are still alive, it's fine."

After merging with the well water, Xie Xiaofeng quickly found the entrance to the undercurrent, as Chen Hao had directed, and then went in.

As soon as he entered the undercurrent, the water he had become was swept down into the depths by a strong current. Then, he saw a blue light in the deeper water ahead.

Thinking that the blue light might be the legendary mermaid, Xie Xiaofeng immediately swam at high speed towards the blue glow.

Gradually, the outline of the mermaid became clearer in Xie Xiaofeng's eyes, and the female ghost, heavy with resentment, also came into view. The mermaid was entangled in a struggle with the female ghost in the water.

The moment Xie Xiaofeng saw the mermaid, he was stunned by her scant attire, her smooth skin, and her ethereal beauty. It took him a while to come back to his senses.

"Yiing!" The mermaid suddenly let out a beautiful cry as the female ghost's sharp and pointy nails clutched her neck, and her glittering tail was also tangled in the ghost's long hair..

"Stop!" Xie Xiaofeng shouted towards the front, a surge of heroism to save the damsel in distress bursting within him.

No sooner had he spoken than he transformed into a huge iron arrowhead and shot towards the female ghost.

Seeing an iron arrowhead radiating intense Yang Energy coming at her, the female ghost was startled and hurriedly released the mermaid, turning into a puff of deep purple smoke to dodge away.

"Yiing!" After being freed, the mermaid immediately swam deeper.

"Hey, wait!" Xie Xiaofeng called out hastily, his voice unable to penetrate the cold water.

Seeing the blue light quickly receding, Xie Xiaofeng immediately transformed back into a ladle of water and chased after the mermaid.

Half a minute later, having sprinted with all his might, he finally caught up to the mermaid and immediately transformed back into human form.

"Don't go, Mermaid!" Xie Xiaofeng said, unable to restrain himself as he reached for the mermaid's arm. The moment his hand touched the mermaid's skin, Xie Xiaofeng felt a wave of goosebumps wash over him; her arm was too smooth, so smooth that it felt like he was holding a newly purchased bar of soap.

The mermaid turned her head to look at Xie Xiaofeng, her brows slightly furrowed. She struggled only briefly before her hand slipped out of Xie Xiaofeng's grasp. She then quickly moved her tail and fled at the highest speed.

Xie Xiaofeng wanted to continue the pursuit, but seeing the radiant blue glow on the mermaid shrink to a tiny, blurry point in the blink of an eye, he gave up.

By the time he turned around, a strong wave of purple Yin Qi had already arrived in front of him. On instinct, Xie Xiaofeng used the Yin and Yang Five Elements Transformation to turn himself into a fierce burst of flame.

After the collision between the purple Yin Qi and the fierce fire, the ghost's shrill yet somewhat muffled scream echoed. Then, the purple Qi surged upward, flowing into the dark current and the well's entrance.

At that moment, Xie Xiaofeng reappeared in the water, his complexion pale and his body extremely weak. Since he was underwater, unconsciously turning into fire had drained a great amount of his Five Elements Yang Energy Power.

"Damn it, Goddess, Tang Jing, save me!" Feeling out of breath, Xie Xiaofeng panicked internally and then lost consciousness, sinking into the water.

Meanwhile, Chen Hao was standing by the well, trying to cheer up Ye Yuqiao, completely unaware that Xie Xiaofeng, with his profound Five Elements Magic, would find himself in such an ordeal.

Sensing a sudden surge of intense resentment coming from the bottom of the well, Chen Hao immediately turned his head to look at the well's opening and saw the white-dressed ghost climbing out of the well just as quickly as she had appeared in the dark current below.

Seeing this white-dressed ghost, the old man nearby stood with his eyes wide open, frozen in shock.

"Grandpa, grandpa!" Tang Jing cried out, worried that the old man might be so frightened that something might happen to him.

At this moment, Chen Hao took out a soul-hooking rope from his pocket. He first infused the rope with a large amount of Yang Energy, then threw it towards the fierce female ghost.

Once the ghost was bound, a dim yellow light flashed along the soul-hooking rope.

"Ah!" The ghost let out a piercing shriek, and then a cluster of purple resentment spilled from her, severing the soul-hooking rope wrapped around her.

Seeing this, Chen Hao clasped his hands together and shouted, "Heaven and Earth, nowhere to hide!"

As his words fell, the six golden characters for "Heaven and Earth, nowhere to hide" appeared in the air. Then they drew closer to each other in pairs, enclosing the ghost within.

"Ah! Ah!" The ghost continued to scream shrilly, relentlessly smashing her purple smoky form against the six golden characters.

At this time, the old man, who had been scared out of his wits, finally came to his senses. Seeing the ghost confined within the Six-Character Sealing Barrier, he first shivered and praised with chattering teeth, "So you're actually this powerful!"

Then, turning to Tang Jing with eyes filled with fear, he anxiously said, "The ghost I saw that day was not like this; she was a very beautiful young girl."

Hearing the old man's words, Ye Yuqiao speculated that the old man must have seen the mermaid earlier.

"Ah!" The fierce female ghost was still struggling hard against the Barrier.

Feeling that the Six-Character Sealing Barrier was loosening slightly, Chen Hao infused it with more Yang Energy.

Two minutes later, the fierce female ghost finally gave up resisting and fixed her ferocious gaze on Chen Hao, her face twisted as she said, "Let me go?"

Chen Hao couldn't help but snicker disdainfully, "Big sister, please recognize the current situation, okay? You've been caught by me, and soon I'll send you to the Netherworld. Is it necessary for you to intimidate me?"

"No!" The fierce female ghost's eyes suddenly filled with panic, shaking her head incessantly, "No, I don't want to be transcended! I haven't found him yet."

"Him?" Chen Hao's curiosity was piqued, "Big sister, you must be over three hundred years old by now. The person you're looking for probably has been reincarnated several times over."

"He has not been reincarnated; he is still not dead!" the female ghost said, her voice tearing with sorrow and resentment.

Chen Hao twisted the corners of his mouth helplessly, "How could he still be alive? Could he really live for over three hundred years?"

"Indeed! Back then he was a poor scholar, and I was a rich young lady from our town. We had feelings for each other and had secretly pledged ourselves for life. Later, my father opposed our relationship and forcibly tried to separate us, even threatening to chop off his hands. With no other choice, we agreed to commit suicide in this well! Unbeknownst to me, I drowned, while he was saved in time and survived," the female ghost recounted the events from over three hundred years ago, her expression filled with profound sadness.

"What happened afterward? Didn't that man continue with your pact to take his own life?" Chen Hao asked.
