After a long while, Ye Yuqiao finally spoke, "Chen Hao, it's just a dream, don't overthink it. Your Yuqiao is right here in your arms, safe and sound."

"Yeah!" Chen Hao nodded slightly, "That dream made me realize just how terrified I am of losing you."

"It's just like what I've been feeling in my heart for the past forty-nine days," Ye Yuqiao said, gazing into Chen Hao's eyes.

The two looked at each other with affectionate eyes, then after a moment, Chen Hao leaned in and kissed Ye Yuqiao.

Soon afterwards, Chen Hao suddenly noticed that Ye Yuqiao's response was somewhat awkward, as if it was like when they first met a year ago.

This struck him as odd.

Despite his suspicions, Chen Hao quickly convinced himself that Ye Yuqiao was just excited.

After all, Ye Yuqiao had been waiting for him eagerly for forty-nine days, naturally she would be excited.

Through the connection of the Netherworld Heart, Ye Yuqiao, somewhat nervous, knew what Chen Hao was thinking at this moment. She told herself that she must immerse herself in the role of her Yang Soul, and enjoy the process of interacting with Chen Hao.

A long time later, they finally ended their kiss.

The blush on Ye Yuqiao's face had completely covered the tear streaks and signs of fatigue.

"Little girl, I didn't expect you to be shy again," Chen Hao teased, caressing her red cheeks with both hands.

"Naughty!" Ye Yuqiao raised her hand and pinched Chen Hao's cheek, showing a dazed smile on her face.

"Yuqiao, do you want to rest for a while? Look at your eyes, they're as red as a rabbit's."

"Then I suppose I'm quite cute," Ye Yuqiao squinted and said with a smile, "I'm not sleepy, no need to rest."

"Then, could you accompany me for a walk?" Chen Hao asked, "This is your world, and I'd like you to show me around your world."

Ye Yuqiao nodded and agreed to Chen Hao's request with a smile.

Even though dawn was near, and the Huiyin Mountains were shrouded in heavy fog with very low visibility, Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao managed to walk along the slope smoothly to a riverside halfway up the mountain, thanks to the Nether Light emitting from Chen Hao's left eye.

At this moment, near the riverside, many insects glowed like fire, fluttering about in the grass, faintly illuminating the clear river water, and adorning the dew on the grass.

"It's so beautiful," Chen Hao exclaimed.

"These are Nether Fireflies," Ye Yuqiao explained, "similar to the fireflies of the mortal world. They usually live deep in the mountains and are hard to come by. I really loved Nether Fireflies as a child. When my father found out, he ordered people to catch many and put them in glass jars for me. Then, before I went to sleep at night, I would release them all and let them fly around the room. But,"

"But what?" Chen Hao asked curiously.

"But they were very mischievous and set fire to my curtains, quilt, and clothes," Ye Yuqiao said with a wry smile, "Eventually, I had no choice but to draw them all into my Nether Acupoint."

"Haha!" Chen Hao laughed loudly, scaring dozens of nearby Nether Fireflies into flying away quickly.

Ye Yuqiao huffed, "Stop it, don't make fun of me."

"I'm not making fun of you," Chen Hao said with pursed lips, holding back his laughter. "Actually, when I was a child, I had a similar experience. I caught fireflies in a jar, and before I went to bed at night, I'd release them under the mosquito netting. It started off quite beautiful, but soon the fireflies died one by one, attracting a lot of ants. That night I was horribly bitten by ants and afterward was severely scolded by my grandfather."

After listening to Chen Hao, Ye Yuqiao showed a gentle smile, looking like a budding wildflower beside him.

"We all did silly things when we were kids," Ye Yuqiao said, then took Chen Hao by the hand and walked closer to the riverside.

Then, on the quietly flowing river surface, Chen Hao saw several huge leaves.

"What enormous leaves!" Chen Hao exclaimed.

"These are not leaves," Ye Yuqiao said with a shake of the head and a light chuckle, "These are leaf-shaped creatures that look very much like leaves."

Just then, a leaf-shaped creature floated slowly past them from underneath their feet.

"Quick, jump on!" Ye Yuqiao said, leading Chen Hao onto the back of the leaf-shaped creature.

Once they were steady on the leaf-shaped creature, Chen Hao said in disbelief, "I would have never thought that these leaf-shaped creatures could really be used as boats; it's magical."

As soon as Chen Hao had finished speaking, the leaf-shaped creature he was standing on suddenly twisted its body, nearly causing him to fall into the river.

Ye Yuqiao quickly pulled him to sit on the leaf-shaped creature.

The body of the leaf-shaped creature was very soft and thin, sitting on it felt like sitting on the water's surface, which made Chen Hao's insides feel damp.

"Try gently touching it," Ye Yuqiao said as she caressed the delicate body of the leaf-shaped creature, "It can emit a faint glow."

No sooner had Ye Yuqiao finished speaking than the leaf-shaped creature emitted a faint blue light.

Seeing this, Chen Hao was filled with wonder and imitated Ye Yuqiao, gently stroking the leaf-shaped creature.

After a while, under his gentle touch, the leaf-shaped creature began to emit a green light like that of an emerald, illuminating the entire river surface.

"I want to sleep for a while," Ye Yuqiao said as she lay in Chen Hao's arms, closing her eyes, "Let's just keep drifting down the river on this leaf-shaped creature."

"Mm," Chen Hao whispered in agreement, then lowered his head and kissed Ye Yuqiao again.

At the break of dawn, beneath a night sky dotted with shadowy fireflies, the two of them rode the leaf-shaped creature along the riverside where wildflowers were gradually blooming, drifting slowly towards the base of the mountains.

Afterward, Ye Yuqiao, lying in Chen Hao's arms, began humming the lullaby of the Netherworld again, waking the entire Netherworld continent from the night with her clear and melodious voice.

Such a scene seemed like a dream to Chen Hao.

It wasn't until the river water became turbulent, and he realized they were above a waterfall, that Chen Hao snapped out of the enchantment.

Just as Chen Hao was about to hold Ye Yuqiao and leap away, she suddenly grabbed his arm, still humming with a smile curling her lips.

Then, Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao fell from the waterfall, and the leaf-shaped creature beneath them flew away, crawling up alongside the waterfall.

"Yuqiao, we're going to fall into the water," Chen Hao shouted in alarm.

However, at that moment, a winged flying fish leaped out from the pond below the waterfall, catching Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao and then taking them into the sky.

"So this is what's called a flying fish!" Chen Hao marveled. He saw that the body and wings of the fish were transparent, with only the eyes emitting a pale blue light.

"This is a Deep Pool Flying Fish," Ye Yuqiao said with her eyes open and a smile, "How is it, do you like this kind of Netherworld?"

"I love it, I really love it!"
