Buckle up the seatbelt.

As the plane slowly ascended into the sky, Chen Hao watched cars and roads become smaller and smaller.

This time, as he left, he didn't leave any contact information.

He wasn't aiming to vanish without a trace, he would be back soon, he just wanted to give himself some time to quietly think about what kind of future he wanted.

He needed to consider a question seriously: after returning to normalcy, were he and Ye Yuqiao really suitable for each other? He and Ye Yuqiao were from two different worlds, and if they were to be together, one of them had to adapt to the other's world.

He hadn't anticipated that, having once defeated a variety of terrifying opponents to be with Ye Yuqiao, he might in the end be defeated by reality.

It looked simple, but it was a brutal reality.

When the plane had been flying high for a while, Chen Hao cast all his thoughts aside and told himself, "Just enjoy this vacation."

He closed his eyes, starting to envision the beautiful scenery of his destination, the comfortable weather, the soft beaches.

...

...

Time flew by, and before you knew it, two months had passed.

During these two months, Chen Hao visited several countries, savored many beautiful sights he had only seen in books before, and appreciated the customs of different nations. Of course, having been an Onmyoji, he also encountered many demons and spirits, and sorcery he had never come across in East Country.

The plane landed, and he stepped out of the cabin.

Chen Hao took a deep breath; the air was filled with familiar languages and even carried the scent of hotpot he knew well.

He had finally returned to East Country, and it felt warm.

However, he didn't fly back to Y City but to a coastal city in the southern part of East Country—City H, the city symbolized by the heroic figure, Campus Hero.

Chen Hao's trip to City H was related to Campus Hero Ye Fei:

A few days earlier, while in a foreign land, Chen Hao had opened his email on his computer and received a message from Tang Jing.

To his disappointment, Tang Jing didn't mention Ye Yuqiao coming to look for him in the email. But she did relay shocking news—Ye Fei was getting married.

The bride was the girl he had repeatedly encouraged Ye Fei to boldly kiss—Yan Ru.

Tang Jing also told Chen Hao that Ye Fei wanted him to be his best man. After reading the mail and checking the wedding date, Chen Hao immediately replied to Tang Jing, saying he would come back for Ye Fei's wedding.

Arriving at the pickup area, Chen Hao saw Ye Fei and Yan Ru waving at him from afar.

Looking at the soon-to-be-married couple, Chen Hao felt a pang of doubt; according to Yan Ru's age, she should still be in university this year, getting married seemed somewhat premature.

Later, Chen Hao asked Ye Fei about it, and Ye Fei told him it was because Yan Ru's father had terminal cancer and didn't have much time left. His greatest wish was to see them get married, so they hurried to arrange the wedding.

The wedding was in two days, so Chen Hao also got to see his two best friends—Xie Xiaofeng and Tang Jing. Seeing the two holding hands tightly, Chen Hao guessed that Xie Xiaofeng had successfully pursued Tang Jing.

...

...

Two days later.

Ye Fei and Yan Ru's wedding proceeded as scheduled, and Chen Hao became a best man for the first time in his life.

On the soft grass, surrounded by pink balloons and red roses, to the sound of joyful and warm music, Yan Ru's father, pale-faced, walked her up the red carpet, followed by two flower children.

Watching this scene, Chen Hao was completely stunned!

He had dreamt of this scene a long, long time ago.

"Could I be dreaming right now?" Chen Hao thought, feeling shaken.

"Chen Hao, what's wrong?" At that moment, Ye Fei's hand patted Chen Hao's shoulder and asked.

Chen Hao looked up at Ye Fei, his mind suddenly went blank, and he asked urgently, "Who are you?"

"It's me, Ye Fei?"

"Ye Fei!" At that time, Chen Hao's mind cleared up slightly, and he remembered Ye Fei and what had happened over the past few days.

"How could I be here!" Chen Hao exclaimed in utter disbelief.

It hadn't occurred to him that this dream was actually real, exactly the same, including Yuqiao not being by his side.

Ye Fei looked at Chen Hao with concern and then explained, "This is my wedding, and you are my best man?"

"Chen Hao, are you getting emotional because you're thinking of Yuqiao?" Ye Fei followed up.

Chen Hao blinked, suddenly missing Ye Yuqiao dearly, and muttered to himself, "Yuqiao, where did Yuqiao go?"

He really wanted to know where Ye Yuqiao was at that moment and what she was doing.

"Ye Fei, I'm fine now, don't worry about me." Chen Hao said with a smile at Ye Fei.

Then, amidst the cheers of the crowd, Ye Fei took Yan Ru's hand from her father and walked up to the Priest, making a lifelong promise twice.

After the vows were exchanged, Yan Ru turned her back and threw her bouquet over her shoulder and into the crowd.

Yan Ru threw with force, tossing the bouquet far into the back of the crowd.

Gradually, the originally crowded people dispersed, and all turned their heads to see who the lucky catcher of the bouquet was.

"Wow, so beautiful!"

"Who is this?"

"Such a beautiful woman, I wonder if she has a boyfriend?"

There were exclamations of surprise from the crowd.

Under the gaze of everyone, the beautiful woman who caught the bouquet slowly walked forward.

Chen Hao didn't expect that the person who appeared before him would be Ye Yuqiao, the woman he had thought of day and night.

She was dressed in a white shirt with water-blue jeans below, and a pair of clean, flat shoes that made her look pure but also wan.

She looked at Chen Hao, then smiled faintly.

...

After Ye Fei's wedding ceremony ended.

Chen Hao took Ye Yuqiao back to the room.

"Jerk," Ye Yuqiao finally couldn't help but break down and sob, "Where have you been all this time?"

Chen Hao sat down on a chair and said calmly, "I went traveling during this time, went to many places. What about you? Have you been busy lately?"

Ye Yuqiao covered her mouth and stared at Chen Hao with wide eyes.

His indifferent response made her feel cold inside.

"If I didn't come to find you today, would you have planned to never see me again?" Ye Yuqiao asked, crying.

"Stop crying!" Chen Hao still said calmly, "I would have come to find you. I plan to look for you after attending Ye Fei's wedding. I didn't contact you during this time because I wanted to give you time to think clearly, as well as give myself time to consider."

"Then, have you thought it through?" Ye Yuqiao asked with a wronged expression, devoid of the Nether King's usual aloof demeanor.

"Yeah!" Chen Hao nodded, "Originally, we come from two different worlds, living different lives. After these past two months, I've seen a lot and thought a lot. The world where I reside is vast and full of wonders. I think..."

Chen Hao paused, his mouth twitching, then he continued in a hoarse voice with determination, "I think, between us..."

Before Chen Hao could finish, Ye Yuqiao suddenly rushed over to kiss him, not allowing him to speak the following words.

Feeling that familiar warmth and softness, Chen Hao could no longer keep his composure.

Over the past two months, he had actually missed Ye Yuqiao like crazy.

The words he just said were all out of spite, in retaliation for Ye Yuqiao's ignoring him over the last couple of months.

After ending that kiss, Ye Yuqiao sat on Chen Hao's lap, with her arms around his neck, face to face with him.

"Chen Hao, can you stop being angry with me?" Ye Yuqiao pleaded in a coquettish tone, "I know I valued my work too much back then, but I can change, please don't leave me again."

"Yuqiao, have you really thought about what you want?"

Ye Yuqiao opened her eyes wide, then fiercely bit into Chen Hao's left shoulder, causing his body to tremble even more violently.

Only when Chen Hao let out a cry of pain did she let go of him.

"You have no idea how torturous these past two months have been for me!"

"But you seem to have put on some weight."

Ye Yuqiao glared at Chen Hao with a sense of grievance.

Chen Hao gave a wry smile, explaining, "I was just saying."

"Fool, you're not wrong," Ye Yuqiao said softly, guiding Chen Hao's hand to her abdomen, then she murmured something else.

Chen Hao's eyes widened in shock, "Really?"

"Really!" Ye Yuqiao shyly nodded her head, smiling.

Chen Hao quickly laid Ye Yuqiao down on the sofa, then put his right ear against her abdomen, listening intently to the sounds inside.

Ye Yuqiao smiled faintly, her hands gently stroking Chen Hao's head.

After a while, Chen Hao came up to Ye Yuqiao's face, holding her hand and asked, "How many months?"

"Jerk, can't you count the bad things you've done yourself?"

Chen Hao recalled that the last time they had been together was three months ago, also the only time in the last couple of months.

"I had forgotten you have a Yin Soul, that you can get pregnant and have a baby," Chen Hao said with both surprise and joy. "I didn't expect to be so efficient!"

"Wuwu!" At that moment, Ye Yuqiao cried out, "Jerk, you're thinking of abandoning us!"

Listening to the word "us," Chen Hao immediately felt a heavy sense of responsibility. While wiping the tears from Ye Yuqiao's face, he shook his head, "No!"

"If I hadn't stopped your mouth just now, you would have already spoken your heartless words."

"No!" Chen Hao firmly denied, "By the way, if it weren't for the baby, would you still have come to find me today?"

Ye Yuqiao bit Chen Hao again, but this time on the back of his hand.

"I would, of course! You are everything to me. Unlike you, without you I have no heart to appreciate any scenery. But you, without me..."

Ye Yuqiao didn't continue, her face filled with a sense of grievance.

"I feel the same. I've always thought that the bigger the world I see, the bigger my heart would become, and you in my heart would become smaller. However, once I've seen through all the scenery, the only thing that can eternally linger in my heart is you alone."

After speaking, Chen Hao hugged Ye Yuqiao into his arms and gently stood up.

"Yuqiao, marry me."

"Yeah!"

(From this chapter, I'm sure everyone knows the reason why I didn't update yesterday. According to last year's outline, the story is supposed to end here. I had intended to write a second part, but after thinking for three months, I couldn't come up with any better plot and decided not to write a second part. Instead, I included the plot of the Nether King having a child here as the conclusion to the entire novel. So, the story continues, and I hope everyone continues to support it.)
