"So, what do you think we should do?" Ye Yuqiao asked again, unable to think of a better solution at this moment. Normally, this would be when she would let Chen Hao come up with a plan for her. Unfortunately, Chen Hao knew little about the matters of the Netherworld and was temporarily unable to share her worries.

Therefore, she could only ask Zhao Chong.

In fact, she had already made a decision in her heart, but it was difficult for her to express it.

She knew that with Zhao Chong's calm demeanor and consideration for the greater picture, he would undoubtedly make the same decision as her.

Zhao Chong was just like her, both were calm and even cruel. If she hadn't encountered Chen Hao in the mortal world, she would have been even more heartless.

Thinking this, she couldn't help but feel that time really could change a person. Thinking carefully, it was now August, and she had been with Chen Hao for nearly a year. In September of last year, she became Chen Hao's girlfriend.

"Then let's abandon the Sun Family," Zhao Chong's voice interrupted Ye Yuqiao's thoughts.

Although she expected Zhao Chong to say this, Ye Yuqiao was inevitably surprised.

In her memory, although the Clan Leader of the Sun Family was ill-tempered, he had always supported her decisions and commands when she was the Nether King.

So, the sudden decision to abandon the Sun Family made her feel somewhat guilty.

Seeing Ye Yuqiao silent, Zhao Chong coughed twice, while guessing her thoughts. He was well aware that Ye Yuqiao had always been someone who considered the big picture.

"Then that's the only way!" After a long while, Ye Yuqiao finally spoke, "However, I can't just let the Sun Family's Clan Leader be sacrificed for nothing."

After saying this, Ye Yuqiao took out a charm from her body and handed it to Zhao Chong, explaining, "This is a Spirit Talisman bird written with the Nether King's Power. When you throw it into the Polar Ice Land, its voice will awaken the ancient beasts inside."

Zhao Chong was startled and paused before taking the talisman from Ye Yuqiao's hand.

Ye Yuqiao's action was, of course, to use King Wanfa in exchange for the Clan Leader of the Sun Family's life.

"Your Majesty, when I return to the Netherworld, I will send someone to place it into the Polar Ice Land."

"Hmm," Yuqiao nodded slightly, her gaze involuntarily carried a hint of intimidation, "You should go back first. If an urgent matter arises, I hope you can inform me in time. I'm about to summon Niu Tou."

Zhao Chong shook his head, furrowing his brows as he looked at Chen Hao, "I have some words to say to him."

"Hmm?" Chen Hao was somewhat surprised, "What words?"

"You're still only trained in the power of a Nethermillion, aren't you? You need to accelerate your training now, it would be best to attain the Nether King's Power before the Ghost King comes out of seclusion. I estimate that once the Ghost King emerges, only you will be able to defeat him."

Chen Hao's gaze became extraordinarily determined, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly as he said, "Don't worry, I will defeat the Ghost King."

Hearing Chen Hao's words, Ye Yuqiao's heart suddenly felt lost and sad. She immediately restrained her emotions, not wanting Chen Hao to notice.

Zhao Chong blinked and then vanished from sight.

As Ye Yuqiao felt Zhao Chong's Yin Qi completely dissipate, she turned to face Chen Hao, holding his hands with a bewitching smile, "Boyfriend, I just suddenly remembered something."

"What's that?"

"In one more month, we will have been together for a full year. It feels so blissful."

"Yeah!" Chen Hao chuckled lightly, "But remember, we are to be together eternally, and one year to us is merely a moment in time."

Ye Yuqiao huffed, burying her head into Chen Hao's chest and coquettishly said, "Don't think I can't see right through you, you're just avoiding giving me a gift. Listen up, from now on, every year on our anniversary, you have to give me a gift, and it better not be a repeat."

Chen Hao could only laugh and cry, gently embracing Ye Yuqiao and said, "Little girl, you're revealing your mental age—no queenly demeanor there."

Ye Yuqiao looked up at Chen Hao, stuck her tongue out at him, and giggled, "In front of my boyfriend, I should be like a princess, but you must never tell anyone else."

As she spoke, Ye Yuqiao slowly placed her hands upon Chen Hao's shoulders, her expression suddenly turning serious, "Boyfriend, starting tonight I need to tell you some things about the Netherworld so that you can strategize for me in the future."

Chen Hao sighed regretfully. Ye Yuqiao had shifted from cute to serious in the blink of an eye, and he found it somewhat hard to adjust.

After learning what was on Chen Hao's mind, Ye Yuqiao buried her head back in his chest and continued with a playful tone, "Boyfriend, it would be best if you decide everything about the Netherworld for me, so I can be a carefree little girl by your side."

Chen Hao pursed his lips, letting out another helpless sigh.

At that moment, suddenly, expressions changed!

But this time it was Chen Hao, who became unusually panicked because he remembered his grandfather's Yin Soul was still inside the city walls of the Netherworld's gates.

Having been to Rainbow Paradise, it had been two months since he last saw his grandfather. Now with Clan Leader Sun leading troops across Naihe Bridge and the city guard encircling the gates of the Netherworld, his grandfather might be in danger.

"Boyfriend, don't worry. With Niu Tou and Ma Mian protecting him, Grandfather should be okay," Ye Yuqiao reassured Chen Hao, "I will summon Niu Tou right now."

Two minutes later.

A sinister purple door appeared in front of them and then opened, out of which the towering figure of Niu Tou stepped.

"Nether King, where have you been these past two months?" Niu Tou asked as soon as they met. A lot had happened during that time, and yet Ye Yuqiao and Chen Hao could not be found, nearly driving him and Ma Mian to the edge.

Ye Yuqiao did not answer Niu Tou's question but instead asked, "How's Grandpa doing?"

Just like Chen Hao, Ye Yuqiao was more concerned about the well-being of Chen Che, Chen Hao's grandfather. In her heart, Chen Che was like her own family. In other words, she had long considered herself a part of the Chen Family.

"Don't worry, I've already moved him to another, safer location," Niu Tou said.

Then, shifting his gaze to Chen Hao, Niu Tou wondered if the signs of a new Nether King had emerged and whether Chen Hao would become the new Nether King as Niu Tou had previously speculated.

Everything would have to be tested by time. According to past experience, within four years of the new Nether King's signs appearing, a new king would be enthroned. Considering the current situation, Niu Tou felt there was a significant possibility that Chen Hao would become the new Nether King.

"I heard that Clan Leader Sun is hiding at your place?"

"Yes," Niu Tou nodded, "By rights, I should have killed him, but I did not."

Suddenly, Ye Yuqiao's eyes turned stern, and she commanded, "Given the current situation, our only choice is to hand him over to the Dharma Kings."

"Is there not another option?"

"There is, letting the Ghost King Battalion fight against your Niu Tou and Ma Mian Battalion on the bridge within Naihe Bridge."

Niu Tou's expression darkened as he said, "Then after I return, I will go and behead him, delivering his corpse to those city guards."
