The wind blew gently, like Ye Yuqiao's tender kisses; the wind hummed softly, just like Ye Yuqiao's gentle whisper.

Next to him, Lin Huashan and Yi Ning were already asleep, while Chen Hao was lost in his memories, unable to extricate himself.

This was going to be the last night of his life, and he found it hard to fall asleep.

He began to recall those unforgettable memories from his childhood: the car accident that took his parents' lives, his grandfather's scolding, and his first love with Lin Xiaofan, among others. Of course, what he remembered most was the time he met, got to know, and fell in love with Ye Yuqiao.

For him, the most beautiful love in the world was being together, yet unfortunately, he was already too late for the final stage of being with Ye Yuqiao.

The eternal promise, though beautiful, seemed to have drifted far away from him.

"It's like being with Yuqiao, kissing her cheek, and then telling her some stories she likes to hear to coax her to sleep," Chen Hao murmured to himself, as he looked up at the sky above.

A patch of dark clouds floating in the sky had taken on the contour of Ye Yuqiao's face, deepening the longing and regret in his heart.

In his reminiscence, he finally fell into a deep sleep. From now on, anything he did would become the last thing he did in his life, like now being the last time to sleep, the last time to say goodnight to the world.

Time passed, uncounted.

A cry of unbearable sorrow echoed in Chen Hao's mind.

It was Ye Yuqiao's voice, and how could Chen Hao not recognize it.

Chen Hao's lips curled up slightly, gladly accepting what would be the final dream of this life.

"Chen Hao! I'm here, where are you?" asked Ye Yuqiao.

Chen Hao frowned slightly, pained by Ye Yuqiao's sad voice.

"Chen Hao, I'm here, your Yuqiao came looking for you!" Ye Yuqiao's voice resounded again, her tone out of control with emotion.

Meanwhile, the Nether King Orchid Heart above Chen Hao's left eye flashed a dazzling light, causing pain in his eye.

He suddenly opened his eyes, his heart pounding as if it were about to leap from his chest!

He was not dreaming; Ye Yuqiao had really come to the Dust Realm.

Instantly, tears welled up in Chen Hao's eyes; he hadn't thought his wish would actually come true.

"Yuqiao, I'm here, I'm right here!" Chen Hao immediately sent out a response to Ye Yuqiao, speaking excitedly all the while.

Immediately, Lin Huashan and Yi Ning at his side were awoken by the commotion.

"Chen Hao, what's wrong?" Lin Huashan asked.

"Yuqiao's here! She really came!" Chen Hao grew more excited as he spoke.

"Chen Hao, come find me, I'm waiting for you here!" Ye Yuqiao sent another message, her voice trembling and crying.

Sleepy-eyed Lin Huashan and Yi Ning both widened their eyes, their faces reflecting disbelief.

"Chen Hao, are you serious?"

Chen Hao sprang to his feet and said, "It's true, it's true! I'm going to find her. She's waiting for me!"

No sooner had he spoken than Chen Hao turned into a shadowy figure, darting away with the utmost speed.

Lin Huashan and Yi Ning looked at each other in puzzlement.

"In his heart, Yuqiao is irreplaceable," said Lin Huashan.

Sensing the Yang Energy emanating from Ye Yuqiao, Chen Hao quickly arrived at a river bathed in moonlight. There she stood on the shore, the familiar figure, letting the wind tousle her long hair and clothes, letting the moonlight illuminate the tears on her face.

Seeing Chen Hao approaching through the shadows of the trees, Ye Yuqiao cried while covering her face and trembled uncontrollably.

For Chen Hao, it was her, the body with the Yang Spirit, who was the real Yuqiao. She, who had been tormented by the fierce flames in the fire cave, hadn't seen Chen Hao for a long time.

The last time she saw Chen Hao, he was in a coma, his life hanging by a thread.

Her heartbeat quickened, and when Chen Hao finally stood before her, it reached its peak.

She took two steps forward, pressed close to Chen Hao's body, then reached out her trembling hands slowly and hugged his cheeks, sobbing, "You've gotten so thin."

Chen Hao smiled, a sense of long-lost familiarity finding its way back into his heart. He gazed into Ye Yuqiao's eyes and said, "You are Yuqiao, you are Yuqiao."

Ye Yuqiao rested her head against Chen Hao's chest and asked, "Did you miss me?"

"Yes!" Chen Hao held Ye Yuqiao tightly, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, feeling that the two consecutive questions she asked him after their reunion were somewhat strange.

Why have you gotten thin?

Did you miss me?

Both questions sounded as though they were from long-separated lovers, and Ye Yuqiao's behavior suggested the same.

What puzzled Chen Hao the most was why, upon seeing Ye Yuqiao now, he felt a sense of long absence, and that feeling grew stronger as they hugged each other tighter.

Through the Nether King's Heart, Ye Yuqiao knew of the doubts within Chen Hao's mind at that moment. She wanted to tell Chen Hao that it hadn't been her by his side during this time but the body of her Nether Soul.

However, she had sworn in front of her Nether Soul Body that she would not reveal this to Chen Hao.

Moreover, she believed that Chen Hao would soon realize this on his own, so his current doubts filled her with confidence.

"Not long from now, you will find your Yuqiao," Ye Yuqiao thought to herself.

At that moment, Ye Yuqiao gently pulled away from Chen Hao's chest, then tiptoed and kissed him, infusing all her longing and grievances of the past two months into the kiss.

As long as Chen Hao was still alive and well, that was truly enough for her. A beautiful feeling welled up in her heart—encountering Chen Hao, whom she felt irreplaceable, was her greatest fortune.

Of course, meeting her was also Chen Hao's greatest fortune.

After a long while, the two ended their deep kiss. Once again, Ye Yuqiao hugged Chen Hao tightly, listening to the heartbeat that came into existence especially for her.

"I'm sorry!" Chen Hao suddenly said, his tone filled with sorrow.

Startled, Ye Yuqiao asked, "Why do you suddenly apologize?"

She looked at Chen Hao and saw tears shimmering in his eyes.

"What happened?" Ye Yuqiao asked anxiously.

"I really can't bear to leave you," Chen Hao closed his eyes, his nose gently bumping against Ye Yuqiao's, his warm palms pressing firmly against her rosy cheeks.

Afterward, Chen Hao began to recall everything that had happened after arriving in the Dust Realm, and through the connection of the Nether King's Heart, Ye Yuqiao watched the scenes that were unfolding in his mind.

A while later, Ye Yuqiao opened her eyes, her complexion was ashen, her eyebrows were tightly knit, and a fine wrinkle appeared on her forehead.

She looked at Chen Hao, silent, her cheeks trembling uncontrollably, her teeth chattering with a grinding noise.

"Why?" Ye Yuqiao said hoarsely, "Why does fate have to treat us this way!"

Chen Hao hurriedly smoothed the wrinkle on Ye Yuqiao's forehead with his left hand while his right hand gently wiped away the tears on her face, all the while repeating his apologies.

"I've finally seen you," Ye Yuqiao's tone turned into the most desperate thing in the world, "but now you're going to leave me, leave me forever!"
