"What's the matter? Why would you ask this all of a sudden?"

"I'm afraid that one day you'll no longer want me," Ye Yuqiao said, her voice already crying.

"How could I ever not want you," Chen Hao frowned, his tone somewhat disheartened, "You are my everything and all, without you I would have nothing."

Without another word, Ye Yuqiao embraced Chen Hao even tighter, thinking to herself: the other Ye Yuqiao you speak of is not me. But I will try my best to become that other Ye Yuqiao.

A long while later, the two of them separated.

Seeing a few pink tear stains on Ye Yuqiao's face, Chen Hao felt a surge of pity and swept her into his arms.

"What are you doing?" Ye Yuqiao's cheeks flushed red immediately, her heart thudding wildly. Although through her connection with the Nether King's Heart, she had often witnessed her Yang Soul and Chen Hao's intimate interactions, able to empathize each time.

But after all, that was someone else's story. To her, it was like watching a movie. So, when it was her that Chen Hao was holding, she couldn't help but feel nervous and shy, like any girl in her first love.

"Holding you," Chen Hao said unexpectedly, with a hint of a mischievous smile, "What's the matter, young lady, are you shy again?"

Ye Yuqiao didn't speak, but closed her eyes tightly instead.

"It's strange," Chen Hao sighed, "It feels like we're back to a year ago, when I wasn't sure whether you liked me."

Ye Yuqiao opened her eyes slightly, her voice tight as she said: "That's because you were being as dumb as a stump back then."

"Right," Chen Hao suddenly remembered something, then asked, "Yuqiao, did you contact Tang Jing or Xie Xiaofeng while I was unconscious?"

Ye Yuqiao shook her head. These two comrades were strangers to her, so she certainly wouldn't have contacted them.

"I want to go home for a bit, to tell them both we are alive and well, so they don't worry about us any longer."

"Do we have to go back?" Ye Yuqiao asked.

Chen Hao nodded, looking perplexed as he asked, "Don't you want to go back?"

Ye Yuqiao shook her head, pretending to laugh lightly, "Of course I do, it's also my Yuqiao's home."

Afterward, Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao found Niu Tou, asking him to help open a door to the mortal world, and they returned to their home in the mortal world through this door.

The moment they arrived home, the abundant Yang Energy in the air made Chen Hao extremely comfortable.

After taking a few deep breaths, he opened his eyes, embraced Ye Yuqiao tightly, and whispered, "Yuqiao, we're home."

"Mhm!" Ye Yuqiao responded with a light laugh, her eyes filled with curiosity as she looked around Chen Hao's home.

She felt somewhat uneasy inside, dreading facing Tang Jing and Xie Xiaofeng, especially Tang Jing.

Through the Nether King's Heart she had come to know of the events concerning Ye Yu in the mortal world. In other words, previously she had understood the dynamics among them through Chen Hao's perspective, so when Chen Hao wasn't around, she wasn't clear about what transpired between Tang Jing and her Yang Soul.

The only thing she knew was that she had a good relationship with Tang Jing, who was in love with Chen Hao.

She wasn't ready yet to act out a best friend's relationship in front of Tang Jing.

However, not a quarter of an hour had passed since the two returned to the mortal world when the door to Chen Hao's home suddenly opened, and in came Tang Jing and Xie Xiaofeng.

"Bastard, Yuqiao!" The moment Tang Jing and Xie Xiaofeng saw Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao, they almost shouted in excitement at the same time.

Then they froze, as if everything was like a dream.

Actually, they had come to Chen Hao's house today to return the keys, and had agreed that from now on they would no longer visit Chen Hao every three days. They would keep the memories of their companions Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao in their hearts and allow their own lives to return to normal until Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao came back to find them.

Unexpectedly, on the day they had given up, Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao miraculously stood before them.

"Bastard, Yuqiao!" Tang Jing wailed loudly before throwing herself at Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao, finally hugging Ye Yuqiao tightly.

Faced with Tang Jing's sudden embrace, Ye Yuqiao was somewhat at a loss. Her mind raced, imagining what her Yang Soul would do in this situation?

So, with tears in her eyes, she said, "Tang Jing, it's been so long, you've lost weight."

She had learned this line from Chen Hao.

Xie Xiaofeng also approached and punched Chen Hao in the face, saying, "Bastard, you left me and Tang Jing behind and sneaked off to the Netherworld."

"Xie Xiaofeng!" Chen Hao instantly became furious and punched Xie Xiaofeng back.

Afterward, the two of them started scrapping with each other, moving from the living room sofa to Chen Hao's bedroom. They were expressing the joy of their reunion in their own unique way.

Seeing this, both Tang Jing and Ye Yuqiao couldn't help but smile.

After Chen Hao and Xie Xiaofeng messed around for a while, the four of them sat down on the sofa at Chen Hao's place.

Suddenly, the atmosphere became somewhat serious.

"Spit it out," Xie Xiaofeng broke the silence. "Why did you two leave me and Tang Jing behind and go to the Netherworld in the first place?"

At that moment, Tang Jing and Ye Yuqiao were still holding hands tightly. Ye Yuqiao looked natural on the surface but was inwardly on edge.

For her, Tang Jing was still a stranger.

"It was too dangerous at that time, so Yuqiao and I decided not to bring you guys along. We planned to bring you to the Netherworld after a while," Chen Hao explained with a stern face. "I didn't expect, I didn't expect things to go wrong afterward."

"What happened?" Tang Jing asked nervously, looking into Ye Yuqiao's eyes.

Ye Yuqiao stood there, bewildered, unsure what to do.

"My Yin Soul was almost scattered and I nearly never woke up again!" Chen Hao continued, diverting Tang Jing's attention, "Later I lapsed into a coma for a long time, until I woke up this morning."

"Ah!" After hearing this, Xie Xiaofeng and Tang Jing were greatly shocked.

"So these days, Yuqiao has been by your side waiting for you to wake up," Tang Jing said, her voice full of deep sorrow. Her gaze returned to Ye Yuqiao as she asked with tearful eyes, "Yuqiao, with Chen Hao in such trouble, why didn't you come to find us? Don't forget, we are comrades who have been through life and death together."

Upon hearing Tang Jing's question, Chen Hao also felt it strange. From what he knew about Ye Yuqiao, while she might not have told Tang Jing and Xie Xiaofeng about his situation, she definitely would have reached out to the two of them, so they wouldn't worry about them.

Feeling the gaze of the other three, Ye Yuqiao felt somewhat guilty. After pondering for a long time, she looked at Tang Jing and said, "At that time, my mind was in chaos, all I could think of was Chen Hao, I couldn't leave him for a moment."

As she finished speaking, everyone fell into silence. She was anxious, worried that her answer might raise suspicions.

Finally, Tang Jing spoke again...
