Before dawn.

Chen Hao returned from the Demon-Sealing Scroll to Netherworld City, to his own residence—the Yang King's Mansion.

At that time, Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body remained in his room, having fallen asleep on the wooden desk.

"Yu... Little Nether, I'm back!" Chen Hao walked up behind Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body and spoke; he nearly called the Nether Soul Body Yuqiao.

Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body opened her eyes slightly, then her face lit up with a sharp brilliance. "Chen Hao, you're back."

"If you're tired, you could lie down on the bed, it must be uncomfortable slumped over the desk," Chen Hao said softly.

Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body giggled, rubbed her tired eyes, stood up from the chair, and explained, "I didn't plan on sleeping, but I unexpectedly dozed off. By the way, Chen Hao, did you get that Demon-Sealing Scroll?"

Chen Hao nodded, his eyebrows furrowing slightly. "I got it! Moreover, I have learned many astonishing secrets from the incarnation of the Great Ancestor."

"Secrets?" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body was full of curiosity.

Chen Hao then told Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body the important information he had learned from the Demon-Sealing Scroll.

Having heard everything from Chen Hao, Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body was utterly shocked.

"So, it turns out that I am not the true great-granddaughter of the Ancestor of the Nether King."

"The Ancestor of the Nether King actually betrayed and killed the Ghost King's biological father to get the Nether King's Heart; no wonder the Ghost King hates us so much!"

"Also, what you said could be true, the other half of the Nether King's Heart might currently be with my grandfather, the Second Generation Nether King, and he should now be inside the ancient city."

Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body said repeatedly with a tone of surprise.

"What I'm more concerned about is that if the other half of the Nether King's Heart really is in the Second Generation Nether King's hands, whether he will learn about everything happening to me through the induction between the two hearts. If he does, he is sure to stop us from merging the two Nether King's Hearts."

"He probably doesn't know yet," Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body shook her head slightly, "The induction between the Nether King's Hearts should be mutual. If he could sense the Nether King's Heart on you, you would have felt it."

"But I only felt the Nether King's Heart for the second time while I was inside the Demon-Sealing Scroll just now. If the Second Generation Nether King had sensed it before through the other half of the Nether King's Heart, I'm sure I wouldn't have noticed."

"Two years ago, the Nether King's Heart above your left eye was unsealed. Since then, my Yang Soul has been by your side. If the other half of the Nether King's Heart had sent an induction, she would have definitely noticed it," Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body said thoughtfully.

"Moreover, if everything is as we suspect, the Second Generation Nether King naturally wouldn't want anyone to know he's in the ancient city. If he senses the Nether King's Heart on you, it's very likely his presence would be discovered by others. So, he probably wouldn't do that."

Chen Hao nodded, finding what Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body said to be very sensible.

"What do you think the Second Generation Nether King's purpose was in doing all this?"

"It's hard to speculate," Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body frowned slightly, "but I think Qian Feng should be more aware of this matter. He was once the most trusted minister by the Second Generation Nether King's side."

"Then let's go find Qian Feng and ask him."

"No!" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body shook her head, "Unless Qian Feng is willing to speak on his own, it will be difficult to get anything from him. Moreover, all of this is just our baseless speculation, we have no proof. If we go to him and ask, not only will we not get any information, but we will also alert him to our suspicions."

Chen Hao nodded slightly, looking helpless. Due to his urgency to resurrect Ye Yuqiao, he had become very impatient, losing his usual meticulousness.

Fortunately, with Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body around, although the person was somewhat obstinate and unreasonable, her considerations were very thorough. Chen Hao had to admit, he had gained a new respect for Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body.

Now that I think about it carefully, ever since Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body appeared, it seems she has never made a single wrong decision. Whether it was responding to emergencies or seizing opportunities, she handled everything extremely well.

In this respect, the two Yuqiaos are very similar, yet very different. Although the end results are the same, the styles in which they operate are completely opposite.

After a brief silence,

"Xiao Feng, it's getting late, why don't you stay tonight?"

Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body was somewhat taken aback and said, "That wouldn't be very convenient, would it? If this gets out, it could damage my reputation as the Nether King."

"I reckon by now there isn't a soul in Netherworld City who doesn't know about the Fourth Generation Underworld King publicly declaring marriage only to Chen Hao. Why are you suddenly worrying about your reputation now?"

"But we still aren't married," Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body's face reddened.

"You can rest assured on that front! I need to return to the mortal world, I'll come back after a while. If you're worried about people getting the wrong idea, I'll report to Niu Tou and Ma Mian that I've gone through the gateway of the Netherworld to return to the mortal world; that way, everyone will know Chen Hao didn't spend the night at the mansion."

Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body snorted angrily, then left in disappointment and anger.

Chen Hao couldn't help but smile wryly and then called out to the retreating figure of Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body, "Don't you want to help me piece together the map?"

"You can put it together yourself; I'm directionally challenged anyway, I'll just follow you when the time comes."

After Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body vanished into the night, Chen Hao summoned a flickering violet door and returned to the mortal world.

As soon as he arrived at his home in the mortal world, he heard a sobbing shout, "Jerk!"

It was Tang Jing's voice, sharp and agitated.

Chen Hao had just turned towards the direction of the sound when Tang Jing flung herself into his arms, catching him off guard.

Then, Tang Jing wept bitterly in his embrace, shaking violently.

Seeing this, Xie Xiaofeng, sitting on the couch, darkened in complexion, feeling very uneasy inside.

"Xie Xiaofeng," Chen Hao looked anxiously towards Xie Xiaofeng, then pointed with his right hand to the Tang Jing in his embrace and asked, "What happened to Tang Jing?"

Xie Xiaofeng glared at Chen Hao, then picked up a note from the table in front of him and showed it to Chen Hao.

Upon seeing the note, an expression of annoyance immediately crossed Chen Hao's face.

Yesterday, before he intended to enter the Nether Acupoint to end the Nether King's Heart and himself, he left a farewell letter to Tang Jing and Xie Xiaofeng.

Later, after being rescued from the Nether Acupoint by the Shadow Figure, excited by the prospect of reviving Ye Yu, he forgot to destroy the note.

And today, early in the morning, Chen Hao went to the Netherworld. Then, when Tang Jing and Xie Xiaofeng came to his house and saw that note without finding him, they mistakenly thought he had ended his own life.

"Tang Jing, Xiaofeng, sorry, it's my fault for causing you worry and sadness," Chen Hao whispered in Tang Jing's ear, "Don't cry anymore, shall I tell you some good news?"

"What good news?" Tang Jing cried even harder.

"I have a way to bring Yuqiao back."
