After flying to the top of the icicle, Chen Hao set Ye Yuqiao down.

Ye Yuqiao let go of Chen Hao's hand and then walked to the center. Chen Hao saw that under the moonlight, the translucent ice sparkled with a mesmerizing silver glow, and Ye Yuqiao, with skin as white as snow, standing on that translucent and enchanting icicle, seemed to have merged with the moonlight that fell upon her.

Ye Yuqiao had said that she thought the ice city was the most beautiful scenery in the Netherworld; and at that moment, in Chen Hao's eyes, she was the most beautiful scenery.

"Do you know why I like this place so much?" Ye Yuqiao asked.

"Because it's the most beautiful place in the Netherworld?" Chen Hao replied uncertainly.

Ye Yuqiao shook her head as she looked into Chen Hao's eyes, then lowered her head and said, "Because I've fantasized that if I ever got married, I would hold the wedding here."

As she spoke, Ye Yuqiao's voice became increasingly shy.

A gleam flashed in Chen Hao's eyes, and then he stood there rooted to the spot. He thought to himself, was Ye Yuqiao hinting at something to him with her words, and what should he respond with next?

He was both excited and agitated, and also somewhat panicky and at a loss.

By the time he regained his composure, Ye Yuqiao had already walked up to him.

"Yuqiao!" After calling Ye Yuqiao's name, he tightly embraced her, "I promise you, we will definitely hold our wedding here in the future."

"Silly!" Ye Yuqiao giggled with a shy tone, "If we held the wedding here, I guess no one would dare to attend."

"As long as we are there that's enough," Chen Hao embraced her even tighter, "Weddings are for the bride and groom anyway, right."

Suddenly, Chen Hao let go of Ye Yuqiao: "Wait here for me, I'll be right back!"

"Chen Hao, where are you going?" Ye Yuqiao asked urgently, only to see Chen Hao leap down from the ice city. She hurried to the edge of the ice city, only to see Chen Hao's figure disappear into the woods by the river.

"What is he going to do?" Ye Yuqiao said with a frown.

About seven or eight minutes later, Chen Hao returned to the top of the ice city.

"Where did you go?" Ye Yuqiao looked hurt.

At that moment, Chen Hao brought his left hand in front of Ye Yuqiao, then opened it to reveal a red-palmed hand holding an irregular ring of ice.

"What is this?" Ye Yuqiao's eyes filled with surprise.

"This is a ring, I hope you won't mind it!" Chen Hao's expression was a bit bitter and depressed, "I wanted to find an iron ring or weave a grass ring, but there wasn't a blade of grass in sight around here, let alone iron, not even a slightly long weed. So I had no choice but to carve a piece of ice with a knife, but the craftsmanship is not good, and it turned out a bit ugly."

Ye Yuqiao smiled, her eyes brimming with emotion.

"This ice ring isn't ugly at all, it's actually quite unique and beautiful, how could I mind it!" Ye Yuqiao said softly.

"Really?" Chen Hao was overjoyed.

Ye Yuqiao hummed affirmatively, then she lowered her head and said with a voice as light as a drizzle, "Silly, it's going to melt soon, how much longer do you want to hold onto it."

"Oh!" Chen Hao nodded blankly, then opened his mouth in astonishment and let out an "Ah" of surprise, not quite understanding what Ye Yuqiao meant by that.

Ye Yuqiao looked up at him, her face showing a hint of hurt and her eyes filled with a touch of reproach. It was rare for her to take such initiative, and yet Chen Hao suddenly became so dense.

Chen Hao laughed foolishly, then had an epiphany and reached out with his right hand to grasp Ye Yuqiao's left hand. He then slid the ice ring he had carved onto her ring finger.

His hands were trembling. Even after facing many great trials, he was still just a young man in his early twenties, so at such a holy moment, it was inevitable for him to be nervous.

"Yuqiao, although this ring is a bit crude, my heart, however."

Ye Yuqiao lifted her hand to cover Chen Hao's mouth, her face flushed as she whispered slowly, "I understand all that's in your heart, thank you, Chen Hao. No more words are needed, only to wait for eternity."

Chen Hao nodded gratefully, then wrapped his arms around Ye Yuqiao's waist and slowly leaned in to kiss her.

After a while, the two ended their kiss and held each other tightly.

Time passed, and Ye Yuqiao, in Chen Hao's arms, opened her eyes and said, "Chen Hao, we should get back to business. The journey that's yet to be completed can wait until later."

Chen Hao didn't respond to Ye Yuqiao's words, but instead spoke with lingering desire, "Yuqiao, does this mean you've agreed to marry me?"

"You guess?"

"The ring is already on, so that must count." Chen Hao smiled and said, "However, it's a pity that the ring will melt one day. What will you do if you go back on your word then?"

"I'll use the Nether King's Power within me to protect this ring. As long as I'm here, the ring will be here too. That should set your mind at ease, right?"

Chen Hao smiled and nodded.

"Then let's get to business."

"Aren't you in a hurry? It's so beautiful here, I want to hold you a little longer."

..

..

Fifteen minutes later, the two reluctantly pulled apart.

"Chen Hao, unseal the Nether King's Heart and ask her about the current situation," Ye Yuqiao instructed Chen Hao.

Chen Hao agreed and then broke the seal on the Nether King's Heart.

Quickly, Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body sent a cryptic message: "Chen Hao, I've finally reached you. Where are you right now?"

"You're in the ice city!" The voice of Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body suddenly became very surprised. Just like her Yang Soul, it was her dream to have a wedding above the ice city. So seeing all this through the Nether King's Heart triggered such a strong reaction.

"That's right!" Chen Hao replied. "How is the situation now?"

Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body snorted angrily and said, "I don't know, you jerk, I hate you!"

"You."

"If you're definitely not going to say, then Chen Hao will freeze the Nether King's Heart!" Ye Yuqiao's Yang Soul suddenly joined the conversation.

Chen Hao let out a resigned sigh in his heart. Trying to distinguish between two voices that sounded the same was quite difficult for him.

"Why do you get to take Chen Hao to the ice city!" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body challenged.

"Why shouldn't I?" Ye Yuqiao's Yang Soul retorted.

After a brief silence, Chen Hao heard a sigh from Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body, followed by her low voice: "The Ghost King has retaken Netherworld City; Qian Feng is now moving towards the middle reaches of the Hong River, with a hundred thousand of the Ghost King's army chasing after them."

"Qian Feng and his forces are already nearing the Hong River Region. Are you waiting until they return to Wind Shelter Valley before you think about forming an alliance with them?" Ye Yuqiao's Yang Soul said in a tone of reproach.

"You should know very well what's on my mind!" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body spoke very coldly, "He gave me a three-day deadline, and tomorrow is only the last day. What's the hurry!"

Ye Yuqiao's Yang Soul snorted disdainfully, then told Chen Hao, "Chen Hao, use your Nether Vision to look towards the south and see what situation Qian Feng and his men are in now."
