After settling the Onmyoji and his own men, Hua Shan led Chen Hao and Ye Fei to the villa's courtyard.

The area outside the villa was enveloped by lush green mountains, with plenty of mist swathing the hills at night. The forest seemed a hazy expanse below the adornment of the streetlights lining the highway.

"Hua Shan, besides those gorilla behemoths, are there other members of the Beast Clan?" Chen Hao asked.

Hua Shan nodded, "Yes! Just yesterday night, Ye Fei and I saw another type of wolf creature near that mountain. I estimate they've already reached other coastal cities by now."

"It's just that those gorilla behemoths are rather unlucky," Hua Shan glanced at Ye Fei, "Of all places to invade, they just had to pick City H where the Campus Hero is."

Ye Fei's expression turned slightly bitter. "Even if those gorilla behemoths hadn't come to City H, I would have gone to stop them!"

"I know," Hua Shan smiled, "You martial artists always take saving the nation and its people as your own responsibility."

Ye Fei shook his head and sighed with his head lowered, "But sometimes I don't choose to do so because of that, and I don't know why I do what I do."

"For justice," Chen Hao said lightly, patting Ye Fei's shoulder.

However, the day before Ye Fei's wedding, he had a heart-to-heart talk with Chen Hao at night, sharing his experiences from over a year with the mysterious "Last Martial Heroes" organization.

For Ye Fei, that period was the most confusing of his life; he was constantly doubting whether what he was doing was right or wrong.

Chen Hao felt sympathy for Ye Fei having gone through that experience.

"What is that justice?" Ye Fei asked Chen Hao, looking very serious.

"Justice is what you feel is right, following your heart but not your desires," said Chen Hao, "First, you must be kind, and then you can't consider yourself too important. From what I've seen, those who usually do the most harm to this world are often those who believe they have the power to change or save it."

"Like when I used to be the Campus Hero?" Ye Fei's expression darkened, "I thought I could do something for this city, but because of my presence, the city became filled with crisis and violence."

"That's not your fault; it's the era that's declining. With or without you, City H would have become like this," Chen Hao shook his head, "Moreover, you're not like those madmen you told me about. You've just been using your power to fight crime, intending to make the people and environment around you better with your own efforts."

"Those madmen want to overturn the entire world and establish a new order by destroying everything that exists now!"

As Chen Hao was comforting Ye Fei, Hua Shan kept silent on the side, his face looking somewhat uncomfortable. Because he was exactly the type of person Chen Hao had described, someone who believed he had the power to save the world, which was why he had founded the Superpower Organization in the first place.

But he had never harbored the arrogant thought of overturning the world and establishing a new order.

After a pause, Ye Fei looked at Chen Hao and said, "I'll contact the chairman of the Last Martial Heroes organization tomorrow to see if there's any new information about other Beast Clans."

"I should get going too, and I'll contact you and the others tomorrow. Xiao Ru is still at the school, which is in total chaos now, so I need to bring her home," Ye Fei continued.

Chen Hao nodded, "Go ahead, be careful. It's chaotic out there, don't go running around with your wife."

Once Ye Fei had left, Chen Hao checked the time and said to Hua Shan, "I have to head off too, I'll come back tomorrow. If there's an emergency, come find me in the Netherworld."

"You and that Campus Hero kid are both henpecked," Hua Shan quipped.

"Oh, by the way, I've already set up a Barrier around Wang Fengyin to prevent the Red Dragon from capturing him. But now, you also can't get close to him. If he wakes up, tell him not to panic; I'll be over by noon. Also, before I return tomorrow, you'll need to decide what to do with him in the long run. He can't stay in the Barrier forever."

"Alright!" Hua Shan smiled and agreed, "See you tomorrow!"

...

...

Back in the Netherworld.

Chen Hao gently pushed open the door of the room and tiptoed in, careful not to wake Ye Yuqiao, who might have already fallen asleep.

The room was bathed in a dim glow; the oil lamp inside was still lit.

Just as Chen Hao was about to extinguish the light, Ye Yuqiao's voice suddenly sounded, "You're back."

Startled at first, Chen Hao then walked over to sit by the bed, smiling at Ye Yuqiao who lay there, "Yeah, I'm back. Wife, why haven't you gone to sleep?"

"I can't sleep without hearing your stories, and neither can the babies," Ye Yuqiao said, holding Chen Hao's hand, her expression slightly aggrieved.

Chen Hao leaned down to kiss Ye Yuqiao's cheek and then took off his shoes to lie beside her, "Then I'll start telling a story now."

"Mhm!" Yuqiao snuggled into Chen Hao's embrace, "You haven't turned out the light yet."

Chen Hao carefully wrapped his arms around Ye Yuqiao, "I'll turn it off after I've lulled you to sleep."

The next morning.

After getting up, Chen Hao brought over a stool and sat by the bed, carefully examining Ye Yuqiao's belly.

It seemed as if her stomach had grown quite a bit overnight. For him, watching Ye Yuqiao's belly grow little by little each day and counting the days until he would become a father was a joyous and delightful experience.

He then propped his chin in his hands and began to speak to the babies in Ye Yuqiao's belly in a language that even he couldn't understand.

Soon after, Ye Yuqiao was woken up by the noise. She looked at Chen Hao with sleepy annoyance, "Jerk, what are you muttering about so early in the morning?"

"I'm talking to our babies," Chen Hao explained, "I had a dream last night where they were born and didn't recognize me as their dad; it scared me to death."

Ye Yuqiao's face grew increasingly unpleasant, "Does that mean you have to leave again?"

Chen Hao's expression darkened, "Yes, there's still stuff to sort out."

He then leaned his head over the bedside to Ye Yuqiao's face and said with a silly smile, "But if you don't want me to go, wife, then I won't."

Ye Yuqiao turned her face slightly towards Chen Hao and hummed before reaching out to pinch his nose.

"You should go! I have Tang Jing for company, which is nice. Anyway, I only have one condition: you must come back every night to lull me to sleep."

"Yuqiao!" Chen Hao suddenly gripped Ye Yuqiao's hand tightly, his expression a bit strange.

"What's wrong?" Ye Yuqiao asked, widening her eyes and speaking softly.

"I'm a bit tired!" Chen Hao said with his eyes closed, "When I went to the mortal world yesterday, I kept thinking about you. Coming home and seeing the light you left on for me in the room felt warm, but it also made me tired. I just want to stay by your side and not go anywhere."
