Seeing a single, crystal-clear tear suddenly fall from Ye Yuqiao's face, Xie Xiaofeng, who was sitting in front of the hospital bed, asked in surprise, "Ye Yuqiao, why are you crying?"

Ye Yuqiao raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face and forced a cheerful smile, "Me? Cry? It's just the wind blowing into my eyes."

"Wind?" Xie Xiaofeng looked confusedly towards Tang Chao and Tang Jing by his side, thinking that the windows were shut tight, where could the wind be coming from.

Ye Yuqiao hung her head, not wanting others to see her sadness. She had not yet told Chen Hao about one thing: because of the spiritual connection between the Nether King's Heart on Chen Hao's left eye and herself, whenever the Nether Eye Power on Chen Hao's left eye was actively or passively activated, she could sense it. As soon as she closed her eyes, she could see whatever Chen Hao's left eye was seeing.

Just now, Ye Yuqiao suddenly sensed the activation of the Nether Eye Power. Since almost all of Chen Hao's Yin Qi Spiritual Power had been absorbed by Erlang God using the Ghost King's discarded eye last night, she was very worried that Chen Hao might be in danger, which would explain the passive activation of the Nether Eye Power on his left eye.

However, when Ye Yuqiao closed her eyes, what she saw was Chen Hao kissing a female Yin Soul in his room. Instantly, she felt like her heart was being cut out, and couldn't help but shed tears.

When she was in the Netherworld, Ye Yuqiao often heard the maids say that the love poison of the mortal world had no cure, it wouldn't take one's life, yet it was enough to leave a person heartbroken. Now that she was feeling heartbroken and jealous, it appeared she had been struck by this love poison. She wanted to free herself, but found it was already too late.

...

Inside Chen Hao's room.

A Yin Soul dressed as a guard, with a big sword slung at his waist, rode a giant bird through the wall into the room. Then, he jumped off the giant bird and hurriedly shouted as he approached the bed, "Your Highness, Your Highness!"

This guard was Yi Ning, King Ning's personal guard, who had been dispatched to secretly protect her by following behind her.

In front of Yi Ning on the bed, both Chen Hao and Yi Ning lay unconscious. Chen Hao had fainted from having his Yang Energy drained by Yi Ning, while Yi Ning had in turn had her Yin Qi completely absorbed by Chen Hao's left eye.

Yi Ning bent forward, intent on carrying away Princess Yi Ning.

Suddenly, a burst of purple flame shot out from Chen Hao's left eye.

Yi Ning moved quickly to dodge, but his left arm was scorched by the purple flame.

After a moment's pause, Yi Ning tried to approach again. But as his hand almost touched Yi Ning, another burst of raging purple flame erupted from Chen Hao's left eye, violent like the most ferocious burst of a volcanic eruption.

Yi Ning took a step back, and the purple flames followed close behind him.

With no other choice, Yi Ning could only leap onto the giant bird and flee in panic, returning to Tianwang Mountain to report the situation to King Ning.

Not long after Yi Ning had left, Chen Hao slowly opened his eyes and then gradually sat up. The effects of the bewitching incense had worn off, and he felt clear-headed and energized, stretching in a satisfied yawn.

"Why do I feel like there's so much Yin Qi inside of me?" Chen Hao murmured to himself. Afterward, he closed his eyes and felt the ball of purple light over his left eye.

To his great surprise, he saw that the ball of purple light was now dazzling like never before.

He opened his eyes and a sharp light flashed through them as he wondered aloud, "Why do I feel like my Yin Qi Spiritual Power has increased several times over?"

He turned around, only to suddenly discover the Yin Soul of that young girl still lying on his bed. Instantly, the recent memories of embracing and kissing Yi Ning flashed through his mind.

"How can it be her? I clearly remember seeing Ye Yu just a moment ago!" Chen Hao panicked.

After pondering for a while, Chen Hao's chaotic heart calmed down. He gave Yi Ning, who was still unconscious on the bed, a suspicious look and eventually came to a realization, "This ghost girl must have used some kind of bewitching drug to knock me out!"

Then, Chen Hao tied up Yi Ning with the Soul-collecting Rope before waking her.

When Yi Ning opened her eyes and saw Chen Hao's face, she glared at him with wide eyes and reddening face, demanding, "Give me back my Yin Qi!"

"Little girl," said Chen Hao in a teasing tone, his eyes mischievous as he looked at Yi Ning, "tell your brother honestly who sent you here, or else don't blame brother for being ruthless!"

"Hmph!" Yi Ning glared angrily at Chen Hao, "You're just a mere Onmyoji. I advise you to release me quickly, or you'll regret it."

Chen Hao laughed loudly and stretched out his hands to pinch Yi Ning's cheeks harshly, "You're in my hands now and still dare to talk to me like this!"

Yi Ning cried out, "It hurts, it hurts, let go!"

After releasing his hands, Yi Ning started bawling right away.

"Hey," Chen Hao, irritated by the crying, said, "stop your crying and get back to my question."

Yi Ning stopped crying, pouted, and huffed, "I'm crying, just try and do something about it!"

With that, Yi Ning cried even louder.

Chen Hao's irritation grew inside him. Left with no choice, he took out the Soul-collecting Bottle and sucked Yi Ning into it and then hurried to the hospital with the bottle in hand.

Fifteen minutes later, Chen Hao arrived at the hospital ward.

Upon seeing Chen Hao walk into the room, Ye Yuqiao felt a sudden flare of blind rage and turned her head towards the window, clearly not wanting to deal with Chen Hao.

"Chen Hao, you're here already?" Xie Xiaofeng got up from his chair and offered his spot to Chen Hao. To him, having nearly an hour to admire Ye Yuqiao up close was satisfying enough, though he wished Chen Hao could have come a little later.

"I ran into some trouble just now!" said Chen Hao as he approached everyone, frowning deeply. He didn't sit in the spot vacated by Xie Xiaofeng; instead, he took out a Soul-collecting Bottle from his hand, opened the cap, and turned the bottle upside down over the chair as if pouring something out.

Then Yi Ning flowed out of the Soul-collecting Bottle, her body quickly expanding back to normal size, and finally, with a "bang," she landed on the chair, still entangled with the soul-snatching cord Tang Chao had tied around her.

"Ow, my butt hurts so much!" Yi Ning cried out in pain and then opened her eyes, curiously looking at the crowd surrounding her.

"Chen Hao, who is this girl?" Xie Xiaofeng asked as he sized up Yi Ning. He also wanted to mention she was quite attractive but refrained to preserve his charming and handsome image.

Chen Hao, somewhat helplessly with his hands on his hips, sighed and said, "This female ghost must have drugged me, making me see her as Ye Yuqiao; I almost did it with her."

Chen Hao suddenly stopped speaking; he glanced at Ye Yuqiao on the hospital bed from the corner of his eye and thought, I'm finished, I've said too much, surely Ye Yuqiao won't misunderstand, will she?

"What did you almost do with her, huh?" Xie Xiaofeng looked at Chen Hao with a mischievous grin, already guessing roughly what had happened.

Tang Jing muttered on the side: "Scumbag, beast!"

Tang Chao frowned and emitted a "tsk," signaling Tang Jing not to speak recklessly.

"Yeah! What happened, tell us?" Ye Yuqiao asked Chen Hao at that moment. Although she already knew what had happened between Chen Hao and Yi Ning and also understood it was a misunderstanding, so she felt much better.

Chen Hao's heart skipped a beat, feeling somewhat ashamed as he quietly said to Ye Yuqiao, "I almost did 'that' with her! Besides, she drained all the Yang Energy from my body."

"What!" Tang Jing was furious upon hearing this; most of Chen Hao's Yang Energy had been drawn from the Turtle Spirit Stone, a cherished heirloom of the Tang Family. She turned her head to Chen Hao and cursed loudly, "Scumbag, jerk!"

Chen Hao's face fell as he felt utterly ashamed of himself.

"Heh heh." Xie Xiaofeng chuckled, trying to lighten the awkwardness. Then he shifted the topic to Yi Ning, asking, "Girl, who sent you here?"

Yi Ning glanced at Xie Xiaofeng with contemptuous cold eyes and snorted before turning angrily to Chen Hao and saying, "Scumbag, jerk, give me my Yin Qi back!"

After speaking, Yi Ning began wailing loudly once again.

Seeing such a fragile-looking, pure-faced girl so upset, the three men present naturally felt pity. However, the two girls, Ye Yuqiao and Tang Jing, did not feel the same way.

"Give me a charm," said Ye Yuqiao, calmly extending her hand.

"Oh!" Chen Hao nodded, took out a charm from the wooden box he carried with him, and handed it to Ye Yuqiao.

After receiving the charm, Ye Yuqiao immediately transformed it into a fierce yellow dog, her expression stern as she threatened Yi Ning, "You have three seconds. If you're still crying after three seconds, I'll have this dog bite off half your face!"

"You!" Yi Ning glared at Ye Yuqiao, and just like that, stopped crying.

"Well done!" said Ye Yuqiao with a cold laugh, then asked, "Tell me, who sent you?"

After thinking for a moment, Yi Ning lifted her head, puffed out her chest, and defiantly said, "I don't know! Just let that dog at me."

"You've got spine!" Ye Yuqiao's eyes filled with a murderous intent.

As she spoke, Ye Yuqiao stroked the head of the yellow dog beside the bed and said coldly, "Bite off her innocent-looking face."

Looking at such a ruthless and unfeeling Ye Yuqiao, Chen Hao felt both frightened and pleasantly surprised, silently thinking that this was the true nature of the Nether King. It seemed she was still quite good to me, never as cold and terrifying as now.

"Hold on!" Just then, the world filled with a deep voice as if capable of levering the heavens, a demonic sound enveloping the world.

An intense and cold Yin Qi approached. In an instant, Chen Hao felt a chilling horror, trembling all over, his face filled with fright; he had never felt such powerful Yin Qi before! Xie Xiaofeng, Tang Jing, and Tang Chao beside him wore the same expressions.

Only Ye Yuqiao waited with a composed demeanor.

With the coming closer of that Yin Qi, Chen Hao felt the temperature in the hospital ward suddenly plunge to freezing.
