"No, no, don't!" Ye Yuqiao pleaded bitterly.

"Yuqiao, Yuqiao!" Just at this moment, a voice rang out in Ye Yuqiao's mind.

It was Tang Jing's voice.

She looked behind her, only to find that Tang Jing, Xie Xiaofeng, and the others were not in the cave anymore, and even Xiao Bai was gone.

"Yuqiao, Yuqiao, wake up quickly!"

"Ah!" After a scream, countless white lights suddenly enveloped her, forcing Ye Yuqiao to close her eyes.

When the dazzling sensation disappeared, Ye Yuqiao opened her eyes again. The white light had vanished, and in front of her stood Tang Jing, Xie Xiaofeng, and Lin Huashan.

"Yuqiao, did you have a nightmare?" Tang Jing asked with concern as she wiped the cold sweat from Ye Yuqiao's face with a handkerchief.

"Tang Jing!"

Ye Yuqiao, still somewhat shaken, clutched Tang Jing's hand tightly, crying out, "Tang Jing, I dreamed that Chen Hao came out from the Mirror Realm. He wants to kill my child!"

Tang Jing gently stroked Ye Yuqiao's pale cheek, comforting her, "Yuqiao, don't worry, it's just a dream. Think about it, Chen Hao loves you and the child so much, how could he possibly do such a thing?"

"Yes, your majesty!"

Lin Huashan echoed, "Even if the whole world turns against you, Chen Hao will always stand by your side."

"Queen, although Chen Hao is a bastard, he's not the least bit so in person. You probably know this better than anyone, otherwise, why would you agree to marry him?" Xie Xiaofeng also joined in to soothe Ye Yuqiao.

Everyone knew that with the Netherworld City destroyed and the prophecy claiming that the child would bring a calamitous disaster, plus Chen Hao not being around, Ye Yuqiao was under tremendous pressure at this time, all the more so since she was a pregnant woman about to give birth.

"Yuqiao, think about everything Chen Hao has done for you before. Is he the kind of person who would harm the child?"

After listening to everyone's continuous comfort, Ye Yuqiao felt much better. Gradually, her rapidly beating heart calmed down, until she took a deep breath and murmured, "Good thing it was just a dream, not real."

For her, if that dream came true, she would have felt like dying.

"Meow, meow!" At this moment, Xiao Bai made two cheerful calls, as if it also had many comforting words to say.

Ye Yuqiao smiled, her hand unconsciously reaching for her belly, thinking that even if Chen Hao was not coming back for a long time, she must ensure their child was safely born.

"At this time, Chen Hao must be extremely anxious," Ye Yuqiao thought to herself.

...

...

After daybreak, Xie Xiaofeng left the Netherworld and went to City H in the mortal world to find Ye Fei.

Ye Fei's father-in-law had just been buried the day before, so his spirits were extremely low, and his entire being seemed to express sorrow.

After Xie Xiaofeng explained his purpose, Ye Fei was shocked. He had not expected that Hua Shan would want to kill Chen Hao's child because of a prophecy, and also imprison Chen Hao in the Mirror Realm.

Initially, Xie Xiaofeng was a little worried that Ye Fei, known as the Campus Hero for his chivalrous spirit and for fighting evils for the people, would share the same stance as Hua Shan. Fortunately, Ye Fei was very angry with Hua Shan's actions and promised Xie Xiaofeng that he would do his utmost to find Hua Shan and Lin Xiaofan's whereabouts quickly and help rescue Chen Hao.

After leaving Ye Fei's house, Xie Xiaofeng contacted the president of the Onmyoji Association of the East Country Zhang Chuiping, and his brother Tang Chao in Y City, asking them both to look for Hua Shan and Lin Xiaofan.

Upon learning that Chen Hao's family was in danger, Zhang Chuiping and Tang Chao immediately agreed to Xie Xiaofeng's request.

...

...

Two days later.

There was still no news from Ye Fei, Zhang Chuiping, or Tang Chao.

Zhao Chong, who had been in a coma for two days, finally woke up.

Unlike most people, his body had already recovered about seventy to eighty percent upon regaining consciousness and he would soon be fully healed.

Therefore, Ye Yuqiao and her party all mounted Xiao Bai's back and set off for the lone town. There, members of the four major families as well as the nobles from the Netherworld City were waiting for them.

As they reached halfway, Hua Shan suddenly appeared with a few of his subordinates.

He had tracked them down from the outskirts of the Netherworld City by using his ability to sense the past.

This time, he brought three people with him: aside from the lightning-fast Jie, there was also Fang Fang who possessed strong tracking abilities, and Wang Fengyin whose body was inhabited by the soul of a black dragon.

"Space Barrier, triple incantation boost!" As soon as Hua Shan appeared, he trapped Xiao Bai, who was moving at high speed, with a barrier.

With a "bang," Xiao Bai collided against the barrier.

"Roar!" Xiao Bai turned around and let out an angry roar at Hua Shan.

At that moment, a black sphere emerged at the center of the barrier, which then expanded at a rate several times per second.

Using the Nether King's Power within her, Ye Yuqiao and her group disappeared inside the space barrier.

"Boss, they're in this direction, nine kilometers away," Fang Fang, endowed with strong tracking abilities, pointed towards the northwest.

Her special ability allowed her to quickly sense the location of the people she focused on, as long as they were in the same world.

Instantly, Hua Shan and his three subordinates teleported to the spot Fang Fang mentioned.

Upon seeing Ye Yuqiao and her group, Hua Shan trapped them again with a space barrier.

Once more, Ye Yuqiao led everyone out of the barrier, this time moving much further away, directly back to the Netherworld City.

However, the further the distance moved, the more Nether King's Power was consumed.

But after returning to the Netherworld City, before Ye Yuqiao and her party could even glance at the ruined Netherworld City, Hua Shan and his group appeared again and trapped them within the space barrier once more.

Ye Yuqiao wanted to take everyone away again, but she discovered that the Nether King's Power within her was somewhat overdrawn.

"What should we do? I might not be able to take everyone away," Ye Yuqiao said anxiously.

"Five Elements Forbidden Spell, Burst of Fire!" At that moment, Xie Xiaofeng cast a spell towards Hua Shan and his people.

Subsequently, the ground of half the Netherworld City cracked open, and fierce flames erupted from the crevices, resembling the explosion of a volcano.

"Space Barrier!" Hua Shan hastily conjured a barrier to protect himself and his subordinates.

"Your Majesty, you can escape on your own. Hua Shan is targeting the child in your belly, he probably won't make things difficult for us," Xie Xiaofeng said urgently to Ye Yuqiao.

After the erupted flames died down on the ground, Hua Shan saw that Ye Yuqiao was no longer inside the barrier.

As Xie Xiaofeng had predicted, without Ye Yuqiao, Hua Shan did not make another move against them but left following Fang Fang's directions.

"Yuqiao, you must escape!" Tang Jing, trapped inside the barrier, was frantic with worry.

"Ahh!" Zhao Chong roared in anger, hating his current inability to protect Ye Yuqiao.

After a minute had passed, Ye Yuqiao had already used the Nether King's Power to escape from Hua Shan's space barrier seven times, yet was still unable to shake him off.

Finally, on the eighth time she was trapped within the barrier, the Nether King's Power inside her was completely depleted.

She transformed into a firebird, attempting to destroy the barrier with the hottest flames possible.

Watching Ye Yuqiao struggle inside the barrier, Hua Shan moved in front of her and spoke through the barrier, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry."

As soon as he finished speaking, a black sphere appeared inside the barrier, expanding rapidly while devouring the fierce flames within.
