"But I love her!"

"But I am also Ye Yuqiao, I am one third of her," Ye Yuqiao retorted loudly, "I remember you said you would like me no matter what I look like, were all those just your sweet, empty words?"

Chen Hao shook his head, his eyes filled with melancholy, "You don't belong to her, you separated from her over a decade ago, although you look exactly the same, now you are two entirely independent individuals!"

"No!" Ye Yuqiao shook her head in denial, tears flowing from her eyes as her emotions intensified and multiplied, "Not only do I look like her, I also have shared memories with her. In addition to that, all the memories that happened between you and her are etched deeply in me!"

Chen Hao's eyes immediately narrowed with intensity, "You are only peering into everything between her and me through the Nether King's Heart, these are not memories between you and me."

"No!" Ye Yuqiao suddenly stood up and hugged Chen Hao tightly from behind.

"Let me go!" Chen Hao said with an exceptionally cold tone, his expression solemn.

"No, don't let me go!" Ye Yuqiao sobbed, holding Chen Hao even tighter, "You are my Chen Hao!"

Chen Hao's face showed helplessness, although there was anger in his heart, he couldn't use brute force against Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body. After all, just as Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body said, she is one-third of the original Fourth Generation Underworld King, Ye Yuqiao. Nineteen years ago, when Ye Yuqiao made the decision to give him the Nether King's Heart, she still had the Nether Soul.

Without that decision nineteen years ago, there would have been no story of a boy from the mortal world falling in love with the Underworld King.

A while later.

The emotions of both Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao had somewhat subsided.

Chen Hao slowly turned around, gently held Ye Yuqiao's shoulders, and spoke in a soft tone, "Be good, can you give me back my Yuqiao?"

Ye Yuqiao shook her head, still insisting, "I am your Yuqiao!"

Then, all of a sudden, her face showed a pained expression, a sudden scorching heat assaulting her chest.

The blood oath of the azure bird that she and her Yang Spirit had established was now taking effect. According to the oath, when Chen Hao realized that she was not her Yang Soul, she had to release her Yang Soul back to him.

However, she had defied Chen Hao's demand to return his Yang Soul, so she was going to bear the curse and punishment for breaking the oath.

"What's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly become so hot?" Chen Hao asked, his palms already feeling the boiling of Ye Yuqiao's blood.

"I am going to die!" Ye Yuqiao said in despair.

Chen Hao was taken aback.

"If you don't want me to die, then stop asking me to give her back to you!" Ye Yuqiao cast a helpless, pleading look at Chen Hao.

With a skeptical look on his face, Chen Hao immediately let go of his hands from Ye Yuqiao's shoulders and stepped back two steps.

He could not accept Ye Yuqiao's request!

Ye Yuqiao's crying became more aggrieved and more desperate. If Chen Hao insisted on her returning her Yang Soul, she would rather be burned to death by the curse of the oath than see her Yang Soul reunite with Chen Hao.

After a moment of silence.

"Did you like my previous life, Ye Heng?" Chen Hao suddenly asked.

Ye Yuqiao showed a look of surprise and bewilderment; she didn't understand why Chen Hao would suddenly bring up Ye Heng.

"Both she and I had feelings for Ye Heng, but that probably wasn't really love, just an appreciation for a kindred spirit. It's towards you that I can truly say I feel love."

"Then you must know about Man Qingting, right?" Chen Hao asked again.

Ye Yuqiao hummed in acknowledgment.

"Do you think I could fall for her like Ye Heng did?"

"No!" Ye Yuqiao shook her head.

"Why not? I have the memories of Ye Heng's unforgettable love for his senior sister Man Qingting from a past life!"

Ye Yuqiao furrowed her brows, only then realizing she had been led into a trap by Chen Hao.

"Because you can only love me!" Ye Yuqiao said. Her aversion to Man Qingting was even stronger than her identification with being the Yang Soul, making her quite angry to hear Chen Hao speak of loving Man Qingting.

Chen Hao chuckled coldly, then muttered, "So you do understand that loving someone means being loyal to them."

"Chen Hao, what are you trying to say?"

Chen Hao sighed briefly and then took two steps closer to Ye Yuqiao, his voice low but very sincere, "When I remembered the past life of Ye Heng, I really almost mistook myself for him, loving his senior sister Man Qingting just like he did. It's like you watching me and the real Yuqiao go through our experiences, and you falling for me just like her. But later, you know that I only love Yuqiao, and I can distinguish myself from Ye Heng."

"My situation is different from yours! She and I are both parts of Ye Yuqiao, we are the same person; but Ye Heng is your past life, you are you, you two are different people, and your personalities are completely different."

"That's exactly my point!" Chen Hao continued, "Although you and she are identical, both parts of Ye Yuqiao, in my eyes, Chen Hao, you are two different people, and I can distinguish between you. I might not love a complete Ye Yuqiao, only the Yang Spirit. I'm sorry, but she has already taken up all of my heart, and I can no longer love anyone else, including you."

After Chen Hao finished speaking, Ye Yuqiao became completely rigid.

The clarity and inevitability of Chen Hao's words felt to her like a death sentence, filling her with despair and chilling her heart.

"You should distinguish yourself from the Yang Soul just as I distinguish myself from Ye Heng. Maybe then you'll realize that you don't love me, just as I don't love Man Qingting." Chen Hao said earnestly after a while.

Ye Yuqiao glared at Chen Hao, her tears stemming from the despair at the bottom of her heart.

"You might not love me, but please do not deny my feelings for you!" Ye Yuqiao said coldly.

Having said that, she flicked her right hand, and a glowing barrier appeared on the ground. She had given up on Chen Hao and chosen to make the best of a painful situation.

"You've won! She's inside here, I'm giving her back to you!" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body said.

Chen Hao hummed in acknowledgment.

Just as he was about to jump in, Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body suddenly grabbed his hand, her eyes brimming with tears as she said, "Maybe in your heart I'm not Ye Yuqiao, just another shameless woman. But I hope you'll remember, there's a woman in this world whose heart has been completely taken by you, who's willing to sacrifice everything for you!"

Chen Hao's expression immediately turned solemn. To say he could completely distinguish between the two Ye Yuqiaos was actually a lie. Between the two Yuqiaos, there were many similarities.

"I will remember!" Chen Hao nodded, then leaped into the fire pit.

Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body collapsed onto the cold carpet, sobbing in despair.
