Time moves forward, bringing us to seven days later.

Compared to seven days ago, neither the mortal world nor the Netherworld has seen much change.

The seal above the East Sea remains intact; Hua Shan has yet to make its next move; and Gu Lai is still imprisoned within the Mirror Realm.

But the changes that have occurred in the Netherworld are all related to Ye Yuqiao.

Firstly, a powerful Spiritual Power is emitted from the child within her belly, spreading throughout Wushuang City, attracting many demons and beasts from across the Netherworld, most of which are from the Polar Ice Land.

These ancient beasts, undeterred by the great distance and the warmer climate in the south, came with the intention to devour the child soon to be born from Ye Yuqiao, in hopes of gaining that immense Spiritual Power.

Ultimately, under the staunch defense of Zhao Chong, Niu Tou, Ma Mian, and tens of thousands of soldiers from Wushuang City, one after another, these ancient beasts were defeated and fled back to the south.

However, more and more of these ancient beasts continued to converge on Wushuang City.

In order to boost morale and stabilize the troops, Zhao Chong, Niu Tou, and Ma Mian told their soldiers that once the Nether King's child was born, the Nether King would fight alongside them, using her fierce flames to burn those monsters, accustomed to ice and snow, to ashes.

Secondly, changes were happening to Ye Yuqiao herself: her belly protruded forward and downward, starting to have irregular contractions, all signs that the child was about to be born.

Evening.

After dinner, Ye Yuqiao insisted on taking a walk in the courtyard covered with ice and snow. Since she had been rather irritable these past few days, Chen Hao dared not oppose her. He could only accompany her closely and carefully.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, Chen Hao helped Ye Yuqiao back to their room.

Perhaps because she breathed in fresh air, Ye Yuqiao's mood improved significantly.

"Husband, I haven't been in the best mood these few days, don't take it to heart, okay?" Ye Yuqiao said, looking at Chen Hao.

"It's alright!" Chen Hao said indifferently, his left hand gently touching Ye Yuqiao's belly, immersed in the joy of becoming a father soon.

"Wife, I know you're under a lot of pressure because the baby is about to be born. It's really okay; sometimes the husband is there for the wife to vent her temper, as long as it makes you feel much better after you've let it out."

"I feel like you're so pitiful, always being bullied by me."

Chen Hao suddenly revealed a mischievous smile and said, "Once the baby is born, it'll be my turn to tease you every day."

"You must be craving it!" Ye Yuqiao reached out and pinched Chen Hao's face.

"I've been holding back for months," Chen Hao confessed with an air of aggrievement.

After a light laugh, Ye Yuqiao, holding Chen Hao's hand and with a perplexed look, said, "In another seven days, our child will be born. I've heard that giving birth is very painful, and I'm really scared."

"Don't be afraid, wife. I'll be right there with you the whole time."

Chen Hao comforted Ye Yuqiao: "Think about the bright side; soon, we will have two babies in our bed. Sometimes they'll cry loudly, sometimes they'll laugh with a pleasant and tender voice, and sometimes they'll wriggle like worms in their swaddles, and then under our watchful eyes, they'll grow a little bit bigger each day, getting taller day by day."

"It's a nice thought," Ye Yuqiao responded, uplifted by Chen Hao's words.

Seeing how engaged Ye Yuqiao was, Chen Hao continued, "Not long after you give birth, I will take care of three babies temporarily until you recover. Later, you'll join the ranks of caring for the babies with me; we'll soothe them together, change their diapers, and pick new clothes for them every three months as they grow."

After listening to Chen Hao's lively daydreaming, Ye Yuqiao suddenly looked at Chen Hao very seriously and asked, "Chen Hao, why aren't you at all worried that our child might bring about an apocalyptic catastrophe?"

"Because of you!"

Chen Hao said with a smile, "How could the child of such a kind and beautiful mother not be wonderful?"

..

The night was deep.

Ye Yuqiao had already fallen asleep. At this moment, Chen Hao suddenly felt the presence of Ye Fei and Wang Fengyin's powers outside the door.

He quietly stepped out to meet Ye Fei and Wang Fengyin, who had rushed over from the mortal world.

"How's the situation in the mortal world?" Chen Hao asked Ye Fei with a frown.

"Bro Chen Hao, with me and Campus Hero here, of course, there's nothing serious!" Wang Fengyin eagerly replied, his expression quite smug.

"The recent demons that appeared in the mortal world have all been dealt with by Campus Hero and me together!"

Just like in the Netherworld, more and more demons have been appearing recently, disturbing the order in the mortal world, so Chen Hao sent Ye Fei and Wang Fengyin to help the Yin Yang Master Association in the East Country to deal with those demons.

Chen Hao smiled and praised, "You guys are amazing!"

"However, the number of demons that appeared these past two days has clearly increased, and they've become harder to deal with," said Ye Fei, looking worried.

Chen Hao sighed and patted Ye Fei on the shoulder, "I can only trouble you guys for now. I estimate that the situation will get much better after my wife gives birth."

"Chen Hao, the birth of your child has nothing to do with these demons, it's all just a coincidence, you don't have to feel guilty or be under any pressure."

"It's the ancient beasts from Polar Ice Land outside Wushuang City that are targeting my child."

"That could only mean your child will be very powerful, which is a good thing."

Chen Hao smiled and said, "Exactly! The child of Chen Hao and Yuqiao will certainly be powerful."

Then, it was the latter part of the night.

The soldiers had just united to repel several ancient beasts attacking the city, and Wushuang City gradually returned to tranquility.

Taking advantage of this moment, a group of people arrived in Wushuang City unnoticed, quickly dispersed, and then plastered something all over the streets and alleys of the city before swiftly departing.

These people were actually from the Superpower Organization led by Gu Lai, who had quietly come to the Netherworld this time, not to directly attack Ye Yuqiao as they had in the past, but to use a stratagem to assassinate by proxy.

..

After daylight broke.

The citizens of Wushuang City began to wake up one by one, taking to the streets and gradually bringing the city to life.

Then, the people successively saw the notices that Gu Lai and his team had plastered all over Wushuang City the night before. The notices stated that the child born to the Nether King would provoke a cataclysm between the worlds of Yin and Yang, releasing countless ancient demons and monsters, heralding the end of mankind.

As the saying goes, what one spreads to ten, ten will spread to a hundred; soon, the rumors from the notices spread throughout the entire Netherworld, including to Zhao Chong, who was in charge of the city's affairs.

Hearing about this, Zhao Chong immediately ordered the soldiers to tear down all the notices.

But it was a step too late.

The rumors had already spread within Wushuang City, with many people linking the invasion of the ancient beasts to this rumor and believing it to be true.

Thus, the entire city's population fell into panic, and a great upheaval was about to erupt.
