"Could the omen of a pink new ruler in the Netherworld mean there will be another female Nether King?" Qian Feng asked from outside the carriage.

Upon hearing Qian Feng's remark, Chen Hao felt intrigued. He immediately opened the carriage door and asked, "Qian Feng, why do you say it will be a female Nether King?"

"Because when the Fourth Generation Underworld King ascended the throne, the omen that appeared was indeed pink," Qian Feng explained, looking at Ye Yuqiao. "The omens for the succession of the Second and Third Generation Nether Kings were black. I remember this very clearly."

Chen Hao smiled, then turned his head to look at Ye Yuqiao and asked, "Yuqiao, is this true? Why haven't you mentioned this to me before?"

"I haven't told you?" Ye Yuqiao said, somewhat surprised. "What Clan Leader Qian said is true. However, based on the current situation, the new Nether King is unlikely to be female; there is no suitable candidate."

"Aren't you the one?" Chen Hao said, pointing at Ye Yuqiao.

"But I'm not the new one!"

"Then it is very likely it means the return of a queen!"

"Do you hope that I am?" Ye Yuqiao suddenly asked with a gloomy face, looking very unhappy.

Chen Hao shook his head. "Not at all! You have other, more important matters."

"If that's the case, then the new Nether King won't be female."

"That's not necessarily the case," Qian Feng suddenly said. "Whoever holds the Nether King's Heart is the new Nether King. Maybe, to accomplish that more important task, Chen Hao will pass on the Nether King's Heart to someone else, just like it was passed to him nineteen years ago."

"Right," Chen Hao agreed with Qian Feng's words. "I could give the Nether King's Heart to Huashan and then take you away."

Ye Yuqiao frowned, looking somewhat angrily at Chen Hao, and said, "The Nether King's Heart is not something you can just give away to anyone. Do you like Huashan?"

Chen Hao shook his head.

"Then how could you give the Nether King's Heart to her?" Ye Yuqiao's face grew even darker as she spoke.

Chen Hao was frustrated and explained, "I was just speaking off the cuff. Why are you getting angry?"

Qian Feng coughed twice, intentionally changing the subject: "The allied forces of the five major families are just ahead. I came to inform you both."

"We know," Ye Yuqiao said coldly.

"Then you both should prepare a bit. I'll take my leave first," Qian Feng said before turning around and drifting away.

After a few steps, he turned back, hesitated for a few seconds, and added, "Actually, it's possible that the new Nether King could be the offspring of both of you."

"Clan Leader Qian, surely you haven't forgotten the basic fact that I am a person without a Yin Soul," Ye Yuqiao said coldly to Qian Feng, her face filled with anger.

"Of course, I haven't forgotten," Qian Feng explained. "But who can be certain about the future? No one can guarantee what will definitely happen and what won't."

After saying this, Qian Feng left in a flash.

"Exactly!" Chen Hao's voice of agreement had barely left his mouth.

Ye Yuqiao turned to look at Chen Hao, her brow furrowed deeply and her face clearly marked with ten thousand displeasures.

"Do you really want a daughter?" Ye Yuqiao asked.

Chen Hao shook his head and said, "I do want a daughter, but only if she's with you. It's because I like you that I will like her. But it doesn't matter if we don't have one, having you is enough."

Ye Yuqiao immediately felt aggrieved and then took the initiative to sit next to Chen Hao, resting her head on his shoulder.

"Actually, I also really want to have a daughter who's as beautiful as me and loves me as much as you do. That way, there would be two people in this world who love me," Ye Yuqiao opened her heart to Chen Hao, her voice filled with sorrow, "Unfortunately, as someone without a Yin Soul, I can't have children."

"If you really want to, we could adopt one. Maybe it'll turn out just as Qian Feng said, that once our adopted daughter grows up, I can pass the Nether King's Heart to her, and then we can fulfill our eternal vow together."

"Wouldn't she feel incredibly abandoned if we just left her like that?" Ye Yuqiao said with a light laugh.

"But we're not disappearing so that she'll never see us again. We'll come back to visit her on holidays or her birthday."

Ye Yuqiao's head left Chen Hao's shoulder, and she said with a laugh and a bit of disbelief, "What are we even talking about now? Everything was fine, and somehow we got onto this topic."

"We're discussing our future, aren't we?"

"Is our future going to be bright?" Ye Yuqiao looked at Chen Hao with puzzled eyes.

"Yes!" Chen Hao nodded firmly, "That sign just now is the best proof."

Ye Yuqiao smiled, then took Chen Hao's hand, her gentle voice tinged with guilt, "I'm sorry, Chen Hao; I shouldn't have lost my temper at you for no reason just now."

"It's okay," Chen Hao smiled brightly, "Boyfriends are supposed to serve as a vent for their anger."

"It's wonderful to have a boyfriend like that," Ye Yuqiao smiled sweetly.

······

At this moment, not far ahead on the snowy mountain, Zhao Chong and Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body watched the slowly fading sign of the new Nether King. Not far behind them stood the clan leaders of the Zhou, Wu, Zheng, and Wang families, Ma Mian, Niu Tou, and an army of seventy thousand.

"It looks like the new king's succession is all but confirmed," Zhao Chong remarked, feeling emotional.

"Yes!" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body nodded with a smile, immersed in the joy of soon reuniting with Chen Hao. "By then, Chen Hao will become the new Nether King, and you must not forget to support him well."

Zhao Chong hummed in response, his gaze turning to the profile of Ye Yuqiao's face.

That face was still so beautiful and still so mesmerizing to him.

"Chen Hao has broken the seal on the Nether King's Heart!" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body suddenly turned to Zhao Chong excitedly. Then, she couldn't wait to send a secret message to Chen Hao.

Zhao Chong came back to his senses and sighed quietly. Even a second more of Ye Yuqiao's gaze was wishful thinking on her part.

Shortly afterward, amidst the wind and snow, Chen Hao and Qian Feng walked shoulder to shoulder with tens of thousands of troops following them. Meanwhile, Ye Yuqiao's Yang Soul had entered the Nether Acupoint.

Suddenly, a dazzling and intense blaze erupted from Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body, melting all the floating snow blocking her view and making Chen Hao clearly visible.

The nearby soldiers also felt a trace of warmth from it.

"Am I seeing this right? Chen Hao is actually walking with Qian Feng?" Zheng Yang, the clan leader of the Zheng family behind Ye Yuqiao, said in disbelief.

"He must have been sent by the Nether King to discuss an alliance with Qian Feng," guessed Zhou Ke of the Zhou family.

"So he went to find Qian Feng. No wonder we haven't seen him these days!"

When Chen Hao and Qian Feng arrived in front of Zhao Chong and Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body, Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body couldn't help but throw herself into Chen Hao's arms.

Seeing this, everyone around was shocked.
