"I'm off first, see you another day!" Hua Shan said.

Before his voice had died away, he disappeared in front of Chen Hao, Ye Fei, and Xie Xiaofeng.

Chen Hao immediately turned to look toward the third deck of the cabin, where Hua Shan's subordinates were.

Just then, Lin Xiaofan was also looking at Chen Hao. After making eye contact with him, Lin Xiaofan and the people from the Superpower Organization around her all vanished.

There were many glasses behind them, and Chen Hao knew that they had been taken into the Mirror Realm by Lin Xiaofan.

Then, Lin Xiaofan suddenly appeared on the deck. She walked up to Chen Hao and asked, "I've also taken those Onmyoji into the Mirror Realm; I'll bring them out after we get to a safe place once we're ashore."

Chen Hao made a "hmm" sound: "Thank you!"

"No need! From now on, take care of yourself." Lin Xiaofan said coldly, then turned and walked towards the cabin, disappearing from view in a few steps.

Chen Hao's gaze followed into the cabin, where he saw a rear-view mirror near the entrance and figured Lin Xiaofan must have gone through that mirror into the rear-view mirror realm.

"Chen Hao, I'm leaving too!" Ye Fei slapped Chen Hao's shoulder from behind.

Chen Hao nodded.

"Yan Ru just called me," a contained happy smile suddenly appeared on Ye Fei's face, "because she's worried about me."

Chen Hao lightly smiled and patted Ye Fei's shoulder, saying with a laugh: "I told you, she still cares about you. Now that she has taken the initiative, you better not be passive anymore."

Ye Fei nodded his head repeatedly with a smile.

"Right," Chen Hao's expression darkened, "don't forget about your father-in-law's issue. Spend some good time with your family these days."

Hearing Chen Hao mention this, Ye Fei's face instantly darkened. He nodded with a shadowed face and said in a low voice, "I will. But don't forget, there's still a pack of wolf beasts that haven't been dealt with."

Chen Hao nodded: "Hua Shan will inform us if there are any updates, and I will also have people closely monitor the situation."

"See you next time, then."

Afterward, Chen Hao took Xie Xiaofeng back to the Netherworld, and Ye Fei left using Qinggong when the ship was about to reach Port O.

Later, as Hua Shan and Ye Fei predicted, the East Country officials pinned the destruction of Pumpkin Immortal Island on the Campus Hero and the mysterious crime syndicate he was involved with, suppressing all rumors and news about the Black Lion Beast, and even putting out a hefty reward for the capture of the Campus Hero and his mysterious organization.

...

...

In Netherworld City, autumn winds began to rise.

After returning to the Netherworld and parting ways with Xie Xiaofeng, Chen Hao quietly walked into his room.

He had just closed the door when Ye Yuqiao's voice came through: "Chen Hao, where have you been?"

"Yuqiao, you're awake already?" Chen Hao was quite surprised.

"Did you go back to the mortal world again?"

Chen Hao hung his head slightly and gave a hum, like a child who had done something wrong.

Ye Yuqiao snorted angrily and commanded coldly, "Get over here to me now!"

Chen Hao responded and then slowly walked over to stand in front of Ye Yuqiao.

Ye Yuqiao's eyes widened, and her eyebrows were deeply furrowed.

"Yuqiao, I just..."

Chen Hao had barely begun to explain when Ye Yuqiao suddenly lunged forward into his arms and hugged him tightly.

"Chen Hao, I just had a nightmare, dreaming that someone wanted to kill me, the organization before our child was born!"

Ye Yuqiao sobbed and trembled, "He almost kicked my stomach, that scare woke me up instantly. When I woke up, I found you were gone again! Wuu, didn't you promise not to leave me?"

"I just left for a moment, I won't leave you!" Chen Hao soothed in a gentle voice, "Wife, don't be afraid, it was just a dream. You are the Nether King; no one would dare to bully our child."

"But why did that dream feel so real!" Ye Yuqiao was still shuddering, "Could this be some kind of omen?"

"No!" Chen Hao gently patted Ye Yuqiao's back, "Aren't I still here? With my protection, how can you and the baby get hurt?"

Ye Yuqiao nodded in Chen Hao's arms, "Right, with you here, me and the baby will be safe."

Then, under Chen Hao's comfort, Ye Yuqiao drifted back to sleep.

As dawn was about to break, Chen Hao immediately opened his eyes upon hearing Ye Yuqiao's panicked voice.

He looked at Ye Yuqiao beside him, noticing that her eyes were still closed, her body trembling, her expression pained, her forehead and the tip of her nose covered in cold sweat—clearly she was having a nightmare.

"Yuqiao, Yuqiao," Chen Hao called out her name while tightly holding her hand, "Wake up, wake up!"

Then, Ye Yuqiao trembled even more violently, and her facial expression grew more pained.

Chen Hao leaned close to Ye Yuqiao's face, his hands gently caressing her pale cheeks, calling out, "Wife, wife, wake up, wake up!"

"Ah!" Ye Yuqiao suddenly let out a sharp scream, then her eyes burst open.

Seeing Ye Yuqiao's dazed gaze, Chen Hao urged anxiously, "Wife, don't be scared, I'm here, it was just a dream."

After a while, Ye Yuqiao finally blinked, then teardrops glistened and fell from her face.

"Chen Hao!"

She clutched Chen Hao's hand, looking utterly panic-stricken, "I dreamed that Hua Shan is going to kill our child!"

"Yuqiao, take a deep breath, don't be scared, I'm here!"

"Hua Shan is going to kill our child."

Ye Yuqiao spoke very seriously, "That dream felt so real! Please, promise me, from now on we'll have nothing to do with him."

"Okay, okay," Chen Hao agreed, "I will ignore him from now on!"

...

...

Early morning.

In the mortal world, City H.

Inside a villa, Tai Shan, the City Lord of the City of Yin and Time, located the mysterious young man.

"Those black lion beasts were also dealt with by Hua Shan and his group last night!" Tai Shan informed the mysterious young man.

"Weren't the black lion beasts under the protection of the Tree of Life that absorbs the power of creatures from great mountains?" the mysterious young man asked in shock, "How were they dealt with in just one night?"

"Do you remember the Netherworld Queen we fought twenty-one years ago, after I took you to the Eighteen Levels of Hell and we opened that door?"

The mysterious young man took a long time to nod his head, "Why bring her up? Does she have something to do with this?"

"I went to check on Gourd Immortal Island and it was her flames that burned down that Tree of Life, and even Six-Finger Mountain and the whole Gourd Island!" Tai Shan explained.

"Isn't she the Nether King? Why would she appear on Gourd Immortal Island last night?"

Tai Shan's face revealed a sinister smile, "Fortunately, Hua Shan's power hasn't recovered yet, so the history of what happened on Gourd Island last night hasn't been erased. You may not have expected this, but that Netherworld Queen is Chen Hao's wife."

The mysterious young man was stunned.

"And, she is pregnant now!" Tai Shan continued, "In the future, we can indeed exploit their child for our purposes!"
