Morning.

A gentle morning light filtered through the gauze curtains into the room.

After feeling a soft warmth touch his face, Chen Hao slowly opened his eyes to see Ye Yuqiao kissing her.

"You're awake," Ye Yuqiao said with a slight smile, her appearance captivating.

Noticing that Ye Yuqiao was already dressed, Chen Hao's dazed eyes suddenly widened as he asked, "Where are you going?"

"I have to return to the Netherworld, as there are many matters to attend to there."

Chen Hao sat up, threw his arms around Ye Yuqiao and said while nestled in her embrace, "I don't want you to leave me."

Ye Yuqiao gently stroked Chen Hao's head and chuckled, "Be good, don't be stubborn. Once I finish my work in the next couple of days, I'll come back to the mortal world to stay with you for a few days. Is that okay?"

"Yes, yes!" Chen Hao hurriedly agreed, "If you miss me, just call and I'll be there to see you in the Netherworld."

"Then come find me in the evening, I'll miss you especially around this time each day," Ye Yuqiao said. "And don't come empty-handed; bring me food, I haven't tasted your cooking in a long time."

Chen Hao answered with a "Mhm," then stood up, kissed Ye Yuqiao on the cheek, and laughed, "This feeling of mutual love is so blissful."

"But you keep thinking of not wanting me, of not wanting this mutual affection."

Chen Hao reached out and gently pinched Ye Yuqiao's nose: "Don't overwork yourself, take care to rest, and think more about our child."

"Alright, alright, I really have to go back to the Netherworld now."

After Ye Yuqiao left, the empty room made Chen Hao feel an instant gaping void in his heart.

The air still held the faint fragrance of Ye Yuqiao. Chen Hao closed his eyes, savoring the scent, then began to daydream about a happy future with Ye Yuqiao. They would get married first, then they would have children, and one day, their child would become the Nether King...

Before long, a knock on the door pulled Chen Hao out of his reverie.

"Who is it?" Chen Hao asked, looking at the door with some resignation.

"Guess!" A somewhat unfamiliar voice came from the other side of the door.

Guess my ass! Chen Hao thought, then unlocked the Nether King's Heart and initiated the Nether Vision Technique.

His sight cut through the door of the room, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "It's this guy!"

After more than a year, he saw Hua Shan again.

In his view, Hua Shan had always been a figure shrouded in mystery, with that enigmatic time-manipulating technique, and the cohorts of various supernatural abilities behind him.

Of course, the most mysterious thing was Hua Shan's origin – the City of Yin and Time.

The last words left by the shadowy figure that had possessed him before had been to seek out those from the City of Yin and Time.

After opening the door, Hua Shan squinted his eyes and greeted Chen Hao with a smile, "Hey kid, nice to see you again!"

Chen Hao punched Hua Shan right in the face.

Caught off-guard, Hua Shan didn't dodge.

"What the hell do you mean by that, kid? Throwing punches as soon as we meet!" Hua Shan erupted in anger.

"I thought you would dodge," Chen Hao said with a smile by way of explanation.

"It smells so good in here!" Hua Shan suddenly became very intoxicated and leaned his head deeper into the room.

"It seems your girlfriend hasn't left long and that quite a lot happened here last night."

Pushing Hua Shan's head out of the room, Chen Hao snapped, "Spit it out. Why have you shown up in City H this time?"

"I came for Ye Fei's wedding."

"The wedding was yesterday!"

"Oh!" Hua Shan looked disappointed, "I got the time wrong."

With a skeptical gaze, Chen Hao murmured, "How could a time manipulator like you get the time wrong! It seems you have come to find me on purpose."

"You're right," Hua Shan admitted with a bitter smile, "Talking to a clever person really is refreshing."

"But you like beating around the bush!"

"If you think I'm stupid, just say it directly, no need for you to beat around the bush either."

Grinding his teeth, Chen Hao slammed the door shut, not wishing to waste words with Hua Shan.

However, without realizing it, Hua Shan had already made his way behind him.

"Do you think I can't shake you off?" Chen Hao asked Hua Shan.

Hua Shan shook his head. "You're one of the few people who can get away from me, so that's why I've come looking for you."

"Spit it out if you have something to say, and fart if you've got to."

"Don't you want to ask about Lin Xiaofan?"

"I am a man who's about to get married!" Chen Hao was angry.

"Well congratulations to you," Hua Shan laughed. "Both you and Campus Hero are getting married so young. But, no matter what, Lin Xiaofan was once your childhood sweetheart and ex-girlfriend."

"What exactly are you trying to say!"

Hua Shan showed a panicked expression as he realized he had been surrounded by a barrier Chen Hao had cast.

"I came here to ask for your help."

"Why should I help you?"

"Because it's related to you?" Hua Shan explained.

"Related to me?"

"Come on, I'll take you somewhere and you'll understand!" Hua Shan said, grabbing Chen Hao's hand.

"Bang!" There was a loud noise, followed by Hua Shan's scream as he collided with the barrier Chen Hao had released around them.

"Damn brat, take down the barrier!"

...

...

In a blink of an eye, Hua Shan had taken Chen Hao to a villa in the suburbs of City H.

Upon entering the villa, Hua Shan led Chen Hao into a room.

The moment Chen Hao entered, he saw a pair of golden eyes.

It was a boy about sixteen or seventeen years old, trapped within a barrier, glaring at Chen Hao with a fierce and hateful gaze, crazily slamming into the barrier.

"He hasn't been this angry in a long while!" Hua Shan said to Chen Hao.

"Are you saying he only got this angry after seeing me?" Chen Hao was surprised.

Hua Shan nodded. "His name is Wang Fengyin, don't you remember him at all? Over a year ago, you came here and helped Campus Hero rescue a kidnapped child."

Chen Hao frowned, thinking for a long time before he sighed, "I remember now. His mother owned a plot of land, and that land was right above that underground temple. At the time, because his mother wouldn't sell the land to that corporation, he was kidnapped."

"Exactly!" Hua Shan nodded repeatedly.

"So what's his deal now?" Chen Hao asked.

"Take a closer look at him."

Chen Hao activated the Nether Vision Technique and looked at the boy named Wang Fengyin, his eyes suddenly gleaming with brilliance!

Within the boy's body, he saw the soul of a black dragon. That black dragon was the one he had personally defeated and killed.

He finally understood why Wang Fengyin got so angry upon seeing him.

"What do you see?"

"The soul of a dragon! The black dragon that Tai Shan brought out."

"It is indeed that dragon!" Hua Shan lamented.

"This kid is in pain, unable to control the black dragon inside him, and has killed many people because of it. I've come to you to see if you can figure out a way to suppress the black dragon within him."

"Why not just get rid of the soul of the black dragon directly?" Chen Hao asked.

"That black dragon has very strong powers, if we can control and use it for ourselves, wouldn't that be better?" Hua Shan explained.

"I can help you, but I have a condition."

"What condition?" Hua Shan asked.

"Tell me about the City of Yin and Time, and also about Tai Shan."

"What if I refuse?"

"Then goodbye!" With that, Chen Hao turned to leave.

Hua Shan hurriedly grabbed Chen Hao's hand. "If you dare leave, I'll stop caring about that kid!"

"Then I'll just destroy the Dragon Soul of that black dragon right now!"

"Alright!" Hua Shan relented, very reluctantly. "I agree to your terms!"
