After leaving the tent, Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body couldn't wait to rush into Chen Hao's tent.

Seeing Chen Hao lying unconscious in bed, she flew into his arms.

"Chen Hao, from today on, you are mine!" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body sobbed excitedly, "But it's so hard for me to be with you, yet you can't wake up."

Gradually, her excitement turned to sadness.

"Chen Hao, you have to wake up soon! I want you to hold me tight, kiss me, tell me stories before I sleep every night," she said, her face full of anticipation. These were all things she had done with Chen Hao when she was in her Yang Soul form. To her, these activities were incredibly sweet and heartwarming.

After crying in Chen Hao's arms for a while, she wiped the tears from her face and then kissed him.

It was only after a long while, when she heard some noise outside the tent, that she ended her first kiss with Chen Hao.

Turning her head towards the entrance of the tent, she saw Niu Tou and Ma Mian walk in.

"Nether King, how is Chen Hao doing?" Niu Tou and Ma Mian asked as they approached, not yet realizing that this Ye Yuqiao was not the same Ye Yuqiao.

Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body was secretly pleased by this and then with furrowed brows, she spoke despairingly, "His split soul is absorbing Yin Qi. Progress is slow; who knows when he will wake up."

"Alas!" Niu Tou sighed briefly, "It's true he acted impulsively today, but if not for him, I fear the Nether King..."

"He never should have done that for her!" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body abruptly interrupted Niu Tou, her expression somewhat ugly.

"To save her?" Niu Tou and Ma Mian were taken aback.

After a pause, Niu Tou continued, "You are another Nether King!"

"What other Nether King!" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body exuded a terribly cold menace; her face filled with dignity, "From now on, there will only be one Yuqiao, a single Fourth Generation Underworld King in this world."

"So you say." Niu Tou trailed off, then said helplessly, "Alright, we understand."

Niu Tou originally wanted to inquire about the whereabouts of Ye Yuqiao's Yang Soul, but seeing the grim expression on this Ye Yuqiao's face, decided to let it go.

After a period of silence, Niu Tou abruptly changed the subject, "Nether King, now that you have returned to the Netherworld and inherited the blood of the Netherworld Azure Bird, when do you plan to announce your return to everyone?"

"There's no rush," Ye Yuqiao said thoughtfully, "If I reveal my identity now, I fear it will only bring trouble upon us. The Ghost King would most likely use all their force to attack us."

"Then in your opinion, when would be the best time to announce this?"

Ye Yuqiao's brow furrowed slightly; she turned to look at Chen Hao who was lying unconscious in bed behind her. For a moment, her eyes were tender as water, showing none of the imperial authority from earlier, and she spoke softly, "Of course, it's best to wait until Chen Hao awakes. Without him, we may have a chance to eliminate the Ghost King."

"However," Ye Yuqiao stepped forward, thinking hard, "At this moment, forty thousand of the Ghost King's generals have already entered the Dayang Mountains. They will probably attack the alliance of the Wu Zheng kings' families in the next few days. We should hold our forces back and wait, watching from the sidelines, acting depending on the situation. We can first send envoys to the Dayang Mountains to meet the clan leaders of those three families, to persuade them to join us."

"Mm!" Niu Tou nodded, "Nether King, you have given this considerable thought, then we will send envoys to the Dayang Mountains to meet with the clan leaders of the Wu Zheng kings. However, when we went to see Family Leader Zhao just now, he seemed to have gotten drunk."

"Then we'll talk to him about this after he sobers up," Ye Yuqiao said. She was very aware that Zhao Chong got drunk over her matters.

The night was deep and serene.

The newly revitalized Hui Yin Mountains were wrapped in tranquility.

Occasionally, a breeze would drift through the mountains, shaking the freshly sprouted branches and leaves, causing a slight rustling sound.

Not long after Niu Tou and Ma Mian left the tent, Ye Yuqiao was about to lie down and sleep by Chen Hao's bedside. Suddenly, a yellow light flashed over Chen Hao's right eye, and then the figure in black appeared in Chen Hao's mind.

"How did you get out?" Ye Yuqiao exclaimed in surprise, "Can you really tell the difference between her and me?"

"Never mind how I found out it's you, just tell me quickly, where did you put your Yang Soul? You didn't kill her, did you?" the person in black asked.

"Of course not, how could I kill myself. I have only hidden her somewhere."

"Where?"

"A place where Chen Hao will never find her."

"Do you think you can just hide her and take her place?" The person in black narrowed their eyes and said, "One day, Chen Hao will realize that you are not her."

"Impossible, as long as you don't tell, Chen Hao will never find out!" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body countered.

At that moment, the person in black suddenly unveiled their face covering, then hooked Ye Yuqiao's waist, pulling her close, and leaned in, saying, "Do you dare to kiss me?"

Ye Yuqiao lifted her hand to touch the person in black's cheek, incredulously asking, "Your explanation last time was not very clear. Explain to me properly today, who exactly are you?"

The person in black paid no attention and leaned in closer to kiss Ye Yuqiao's lips.

Ye Yuqiao quickly used her hand to separate their lips, saying, "You are not allowed to kiss me!"

"That's more like it." The person in black said with a smile, releasing Ye Yuqiao and stepping back two paces, "Since you can tell me apart from Chen Hao, he will also find out that you are not her."

"Shut up!" Ye Yuqiao shouted angrily, "What's between her and me is not the same as what's between you and Chen Hao."

The person in black smiled faintly, "Anyway, I have warned you. It's you who will suffer in the end."

"You'd be happy to see me suffer, wouldn't you?"

"At least I wouldn't be upset."

"Bastard!" Ye Yuqiao cursed angrily, "I hate it, explain clearly who you are now, don't act all mysterious!"

"You have two choices: one is to keep my identity a secret, the other is to wake up Chen Hao sooner." The person in black raised two fingers towards Ye Yuqiao, but it was a gesture of victory. In Ye Yuqiao's eyes, it seemed more like he was showing off.

Ye Yuqiao glared at the person in black and said, "I want both."

"Don't be so aggressive, you're nothing like her like this, and Chen Hao will find out very soon."

Ye Yuqiao's expression darkened, and she said helplessly, "Then let Chen Hao wake up sooner."

The person in black nodded with a smile, then walked over to the bed and said, "Take off his clothes quickly."

"Me?" Ye Yuqiao's face flushed red in an instant, "Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

"She has been living with Chen Hao for a year, do you think that's appropriate?"

Ye Yuqiao pursed her lips in grievance, then with trembling hands began to undress Chen Hao. Seeing her like this, the person in black couldn't help but comment, "Your shy look is quite similar to hers."

"It's the same person in the first place!"

The person in black looked towards Chen Hao, and then…
