Two days later.

Netherworld City.

As dusk approached, after a busy day, Ye Yuqiao changed into clothes from the mortal world in her room, ready to visit Chen Hao.

Two days before, she had promised to accompany Chen Hao in the mortal world for a few days, and despite feeling physically and mentally exhausted, she had to fulfill her promise.

Looking at herself in the mirror, noticing her slightly bulging stomach, she suddenly felt a warm happiness.

The baby inside her was the best gift destiny had offered her.

It was also the best gift Chen Hao had given her.

If someone had told her two years ago—when she was still rather pessimistic—that she would be this happy and fulfilled today, she wouldn't have believed them.

More than being grateful, she told herself what she needed most was to cherish this.

Suddenly, Ye Yuqiao's expression darkened, anger flickering in her eyes.

Because since last night, Chen Hao had not contacted her. Moreover, he knew she was coming to the mortal world to be with him today, yet he hadn't shown the excitement and eagerness she had expected.

"Damn it, where have you gone!" Ye Yuqiao closed her eyes and silently sent a message to Chen Hao.

However, it was then that she found out Chen Hao had frozen the Nether King's Heart!

"Could something have happened?" Ye Yuqiao opened her eyes, a trace of faint worry evident on her face.

Immediately, she summoned the portal to the mortal world and stepped through.

In the blink of an eye, she arrived at Chen Hao's home.

Although his house was dark, she could instantly sense the strong Yang Energy Power emanating from him.

Chen Hao was inside! Perhaps sleeping, or perhaps playing video games!

And him freezing the Nether King's Heart clearly meant he didn't want to be disturbed. Realizing this, Ye Yuqiao became furious and stormed over to flip on the living room light.

However, the moment the light turned on, she was stunned by the sight in front of her.

The living room was covered in red roses and pink balloons, while the floor was carpeted with petals from various flowers, leaving a curved path winding towards Chen Hao's room.

Seeing such a setup, Ye Yuqiao's mood shifted from anger to surprise, tears of excitement glittering in her eyes.

Although she didn't know what Chen Hao was up to, it was clear he had prepared all this carefully for her.

"Is he welcoming me back home?" Ye Yuqiao couldn't help but think to herself.

At that moment, she noticed a piece of paper stuck next to the light switch on the wall.

Written on it in pink paint was: "My queen, don't be mad! Three years ago, at eighteen, after a car accident, I met you. I remember being captivated by you the first time we met!"

After reading these words, Ye Yuqiao couldn't help but recall her first encounter with Chen Hao three years ago; all she remembers is how he looked at her with those mesmerizing eyes.

Then, seeing another piece of paper with colored writing ahead on the wall, she walked a few steps along the petal path and read: "A month after I met you, you suddenly told me that your true identity was the Nether King, which totally startled me at the time! But it didn't take long for me to realize, I was destined to be the man of the king!"

Remembering Chen Hao's initial reaction to finding out about her identity—that he wanted to run away—Ye Yuqiao huffed.

"Thinking about it still makes me a bit angry!" she muttered to herself.

She couldn't wait to walk forward, taking a piece of paper attached to the tail of a cluster of pink balloons.

"I met you on the seventieth-something day, and my grandfather passed away; fortunately, I had you by my side then. Later we went to Mount Tianwang and defeated our first strong foe—King Ning. I could feel that you liked me, but you just wouldn't admit it!"

Yuqiao's face turned slightly bitter, those painful memories felt somewhat cruel when she recalled them now.

Then, she continued walking along the petal-strewn path, seeing many memories:

"A hundred and some days into our relationship, within the Demon-Sealing Scroll, you finally admitted you liked me. I was so thrilled and happy at that moment, feeling like the luckiest person in the world."

"You gave me a flute that reminded me of all things from the past life, but somehow, I ended up liking you even more."

"Due to my grandfather's issue, we had an argument and fell out. The days I couldn't see you were torture and agony for me. Thankfully, you came back, and later we vowed an eternal promise. At that moment, I was determined to fulfill that promise with you."

...

"The day you disappeared, I achieved the Nether King's Power, and my heart, too, had died; my world had collapsed!"

"When we reached the Ancient City, you finally came back to me. I just wanted to hide and have a good cry, but seeing you falling into my arms, I wanted to kiss you more, my queen!"

...

Following the petal-strewn path, circling around inside the living room, Yuqiao finally reached Chen Hao's bedroom door, her cheeks now rosy from quiet, hot tears.

She saw a sign on the door—"Please knock before entering."

She raised her hand and gently knocked twice on the door.

"Who is it?" came Chen Hao's calm voice from inside.

"Annoying, you know it's me!" Yuqiao said, her voice hoarse with complaint.

"Ah! Yuqiao, what brings you here? Come in quickly."

Yuqiao gently pushed open the door.

She saw Chen Hao, dressed neatly in a suit, looking very handsome and quite formal.

"Chen Hao, you..." Yuqiao stared at him in surprise.

Chen Hao's lips curled into a slightly nervous smile.

After swallowing, he walked up to Yuqiao, took her hand, and said, "Yuqiao, do you like how I've arranged everything?"

Yuqiao nodded repeatedly, looking bewildered. She noticed that Chen Hao's palms were sweaty.

Then, Chen Hao suddenly knelt on one knee before her, nervously pulling out a ring from his pocket and extending it towards Yuqiao's right hand with a tense expression, "Although you've already agreed to marry me, a lifetime only happens once, and I don't want to skip the proposal."

"The things you saw just now are the bits and pieces from the past three years we've shared together, filled with both happiness and sadness. In the days to come, no matter what we face, it'll be fine as long as I have you."

"Yuqiao, marry me, let us become each other's indispensable halves." As he said the last sentence, tears also filled Chen Hao's eyes.

Yuqiao's body quivered, then she uttered a soft "um," nodding repeatedly, her eyes streaming with tears.

Chen Hao smiled slightly and placed the ring on Yuqiao's finger.

"Get up!" Yuqiao quickly helped Chen Hao to his feet, then the two embraced and kissed.

Just then, with a loud "bang," confetti filled the air, and Xie Xiaofeng, Tang Jing, and Ye Fei burst out from another room, cheering loudly.
