Hearing Chen Hao say he had found another exit from Rainbow Paradise, Xie Xiaofeng and Tang Jing were both stunned, their faces showing disbelief.

After nearly ten seconds of silence, Chen Hao lifted the corners of his mouth in a bitter smile and said, "I won't say much about sentimental goodbyes. It's time for me to go. I don't know if we'll have the chance to meet again in the future. Take care, I'll remember all of you, and everything we've experienced together."

With that, Chen Hao turned around and left gracefully. He didn't want to stay any longer; even an extra minute or second was torture for him.

"Chen Hao, wait!" Tang Jing called out urgently to his retreating figure, "I want to go with you."

Although Gu Cheng had completely entered her life these days, he had never entered her heart. Especially just now, when she saw Chen Hao again, the excitement and joy she felt were something Gu Cheng could not give her.

Chen Hao stopped and turned around after a while, looking at Tang Jing and asking, "Are you really willing to leave that handsome guy next door?"

"But I can't bear to leave you even more!" Tang Jing cried, running into Chen Hao's arms. This was the first time she had revealed the secret that had been in her heart for a long time to Chen Hao.

This was her unintentional confession.

Chen Hao smiled, feeling a warm current in his heart.

At that moment, he felt he was no longer alone.

"Tang Jing, you need to think this through," Chen Hao soothed, patting her back, "Once we're back in reality, it means joining me in demon hunting and exorcism, which won't be as happy and easy as it is here."

"Of course I know!" Tang Jing sobbed.

Without a sound, Xie Xiaofeng had already approached from behind Tang Jing, hand resting on her shoulder and saying, "You can't leave me behind, either."

Chen Hao was surprised and his eyes suddenly widened by a whole lot.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm definitely willing to leave those crazy fans behind. Demon hunting and carrying out justice are my goals. This time here has been nothing but a dream to me, and dreams eventually come to an end. Life must go on," Xie Xiaofeng explained with a smile.

Chen Hao also cracked a slight smile. In a brief moment, he'd regained two reliable companions. Now the only one left was Ye Yuqiao, the girl who caused his heart to ache with just a thought of her.

"Dammit, let's go find Yuqiao. I heard she's agreed to become queen," Xie Xiaofeng said, frowning.

"We've tried to see her at the White Jade Hall these past three days, but she doesn't want to see us," Tang Jing added, "I really didn't expect things to turn out like this."

Chen Hao sighed helplessly, turning to look toward the White Jade Hall not far away, "I can't control her choices, nor do I wish to. Let's go and say our goodbyes to her."

Three minutes later, Chen Hao, Xie Xiaofeng, and Tang Jing set foot on the steps leading up to the White Jade Hall.

With each step closer to the White Jade Hall, Chen Hao's heart trembled violently.

Since the White Jade Hall had not yet announced Ye Yuqiao becoming the queen, thousands of Rainbow Paradise citizens had come these few days, pleading with Ye Yuqiao in front of the hall.

Seeing Chen Hao approach, the crowd of over a thousand immediately became hostile, fearing that Chen Hao would take away their future queen.

Similarly, Chen Hao detested these people to his core.

"Chen Hao, what are you doing here? Didn't you disappear?" the crowd of thousands blocked Chen Hao's path.

"What I'm doing here is my business," Chen Hao coldly replied, clenching his fists, "A good dog doesn't stand in the way; if you're good dogs, get out of my way."

Angered by Chen Hao's words, the crowd in front of him became indignant, ready to teach Chen Hao a lesson.

"How can you talk like that? We just won't make way for you."

"If blocking the way makes you bad dogs," Chen Hao sneered, "then come on, bad dogs, and bite me."

At this moment, those surrounding Chen Hao, Xie Xiaofeng, and Tang Jing were thoroughly infuriated.

"Chen Hao, do you think we wouldn't dare to lay a hand on you?"

"Whoosh, whoosh," just then, a gust-like Sword Qi burst forth from Chen Hao, wounding all the civilians of Rainbow Paradise around them.

In an instant, those civilians of Rainbow Paradise who were injured fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

Chen Hao sneered, leading Xie Xiaofeng and Tang Jing as they continued to ascend the stairs.

After a few steps, dozens of discontented civilians, enduring their pain, surrounded them again, attempting to stop them once more.

Once again, a wave of Sword Qi dispersed from Chen Hao.

Due to the anger in Chen Hao's heart, this Sword Qi was evidently far more severe than before, causing the injured civilians to cry out in even greater agony.

Seeing this, several dozen tall, solemn guardians dressed in black immediately circled around them. Compared to the ordinary citizens, they were exceptionally skilled.

Even then, they were still far from being a match for Chen Hao.

In just a few moments, Chen Hao had laid dozens of guardians flat on the stairs and vented all the rage he had accumulated over the past days onto these individuals.

"Stop!" Just at that moment, a familiar voice travelled from the end of the staircase, from the entrance of the white jade palace.

Chen Hao looked up towards the front, and indeed, it was Ye Yuqiao.

At this moment, Ye Yuqiao seemed even more estranged to him. He did not know whether Ye Yuqiao was still his girlfriend or had become another's queen.

He was also surprised to find that at this moment, his heart was so calm, or rather, so cold.

The lack of insistence on love was the last dignity he left for himself. If Ye Yuqiao insisted on staying here, he believed he could coldly persuade himself to accept it.

After only giving Ye Yuqiao a glance, Chen Hao lowered his head and sighed helplessly.

Half a minute later, Ye Yuqiao hurried down the stairs to stand before him. Her face was filled with anger and grievance.

After arriving in front of Chen Hao, Ye Yuqiao first scrutinized the civilians wounded by the Sword Qi with furrowed brows, then reprimanded him, "These are all unarmed civilians, how could you bear to strike them down. Couldn't you have come to find me and talk, instead of causing such a scene here?"

Chen Hao sneered with contempt, then lamented softly. Ye Yuqiao was reprimanding him on behalf of these people, which made him feel quite hurt inside.

After pausing for a moment, he looked at Ye Yuqiao with the corners of his mouth turning slightly upward and said, "Actually, we didn't come here to cause trouble, we came to say goodbye to you."

"What!" Ye Yuqiao was astonished.

"I've found another exit from Rainbow Paradise and am about to leave. If you wish to stay here, I will respect your choice," Chen Hao said with a hoarse voice, his throat clenching so hard he could barely make a sound by the end.

"Bastard," Ye Yuqiao instantly burst into tears, "Are you really going to leave me here alone?"

Chen Hao gazed into Ye Yuqiao's eyes and said very calmly, "I never said I'd leave you here. I just mentioned, the choice is yours to make."

"Wuu wuu!" Ye Yuqiao cried even harder, "Bastard, what are you even thinking? Of course, I'll go with you!"

Hearing Ye Yuqiao say this, the tightness in Chen Hao's heart suddenly eased.
