My Girlfriend is the Nether King

Ye Yuqiao looked at Chen Hao and said urgently, "While you weren't paying attention just now, he secretly took a hair from your shoulder. Then he recited a spell and used the Straw Doll Soul Control technique to connect your Yin Soul with the straw doll in his hand by burning your hair."

"So you're saying I can only be at his mercy now!" Chen Hao spoke with a hint of exhaustion; being controlled by Ren Deshan to turn this way and that had left him looking dizzy and disoriented. Catching his breath, he then asked, "When can I break free?"

"You won't be under control once the ashes of the hair that fell on the straw doll are blown away by the wind, or if I kill him!" Ye Yuqiao finished speaking, a cold light shot from her eyes.

"Little girl, I didn't expect that at such a young age, you could talk about killing without even blinking an eye. It seems I've underestimated you!" Ren Deshan exclaimed as he looked at Ye Yuqiao in surprise.

Chen Hao quickly shook his head at Ye Yuqiao and said, "Ye Yuqiao, you take big sister and go; don't worry about me! Protect her well, and don't let her fall into their hands!"

"Hmph, you're in no position to worry about others!" Ren Deshan said angrily. After speaking, he twisted the straw doll's left arm fiercely, and Chen Hao's left hand immediately made a "crack" sound of breaking bones, followed by his heart-wrenching scream.

Even though he was in excruciating pain, Chen Hao still bit his teeth and hissed, "Ye Yuqiao, run!"

As soon as Chen Hao finished speaking, Ren Deshan bent the straw doll's right leg, and Chen Hao suddenly knelt down, his right knee slamming hard against the floor. "Ah!" Chen Hao let out a hoarse roar, looking up to the sky.

At that moment, a purple glow flickered in Chen Hao's left eye. He could feel a surging power rolling inside him. Unable to control his own body, he couldn't transfer this power to Ren Deshan's face through his fists and feet.

"Ren Deshan!" Chen Hao roared, his voice sounding as if it had been smoked by fire. "Just wait until I break free, I swear I'll slaughter you!"

As he spoke, an even more dazzling purple light blinked from Chen Hao's left eye.

Ren Deshan activated his Yin Yang Eyes, and he saw the seal of the spell on Chen Hao's left eye once again. Only, the purple of the seal looked somewhat dimmer than the last time he had seen it, though the glow was even more radiant, as if the spiritual power had intensified. After pausing, he coldly said, "Chen Hao, you still dare to be defiant!"

Seeing Ren Deshan about to act on the straw doll again, Ye Yuqiao immediately rushed in front of Chen Hao, held his head tightly with both hands, then bent down and kissed Chen Hao.

Ren Deshan, who had been ready to bend the straw doll's waist, was stunned by this scene. He couldn't help but wonder what Ye Yuqiao's intention was with such an action—was it simply to kiss Chen Hao, naively thinking that a woman's tenderness could alleviate the pain on Chen Hao's body?

It wasn't long before Ye Yuqiao lifted her head, smiled as she made eye contact with Chen Hao. Touching Chen Hao's cheek, her face turned slightly red as she looked into his eyes and softly said, "I'm going now, take care of yourself!"

"Mhm! Remember to be careful!" Chen Hao nodded his head contentedly; at this moment, he looked entirely relaxed, making it hard to imagine how agonized and contorted his face had been just thirty seconds ago.

Seeing Ye Yuqiao leave with the female ghost, Ren Deshan became anxious. He had planned to follow and use his soul-hooking technique to keep the female ghost, but Chen Hao suddenly jumped in front of him to block the way. He glared at Chen Hao, then again bent Chen Hao's left leg. This time, although Chen Hao knelt on the ground again, he didn't let out the slightest sound.

"Haha!" Chen Hao, kneeling on the ground, burst into laughter, "Go on and bend, let me make all sorts of complicated yoga poses, it's a good chance to work on my flexibility!"

Ren Deshan was puzzled, then used the control of the strawman to lift Chen Hao's legs up and drape them over his neck.

Chen Hao's eyebrows were deeply furrowed, and he pursed his lips, making an expression like he was in pain but holding it in. A few seconds later, Chen Hao could no longer hold it in and let out his breath, his face beaming as he laughed heartily.

"Don't you feel any pain at all?" Ren Deshan asked in confusion. Ye Yuqiao had just kissed Chen Hao, how did it seem like she had fed Chen Hao an anesthetic?

"Don't you know that a woman's kiss is the best painkiller?" Chen Hao asked with a laugh in response.

The reason Chen Hao felt no pain at this time was that, just like when he fought with the Brotherhood Gang yesterday, all of his Yang Energy had been absorbed by Ye Yuqiao, leaving him completely numb.

At that moment, there was a slight noise from the bushes behind Ren Deshan. He turned his head, just to see Xie Xiaoluan's head pop out of the bushes. So, he urgently called out, "Xie Xiaoluan, what are you doing hiding in the bushes?"

"Leader!" Xie Xiaoluan looked bewilderingly at Ren Deshan. After being dazed for two seconds, a light flickered in his eyes, and he suddenly snapped to attention. He got to his feet, staggering out of the bushes and came beside Ren Deshan, squinting and glaring at Chen Hao as he explained, "He knocked me out and threw me into the bushes."

Cold light flashed in Ren Deshan's eyes, and he scowled angrily, thinking that Chen Hao was really out of line! Then, he handed the strawman over to Xie Xiaoluan and urged, "Take this strawman, and you can control Chen Hao through it. Bring him to the association right now, I'll go after the little girl and the female ghost accompanying Chen Hao!"

With that, Ren Deshan strode away.

Chen Hao wanted to stop him, but as soon as he moved, Xie Xiaoluan immediately bent the strawman's right leg, making him fall to the ground. Realizing that Xie Xiaoluan didn't know he couldn't feel anything, Chen Hao purposefully pretended to be in great pain, lying on the ground groaning, "Ow, ow!"

"Haha!" Xie Xiaoluan laughed heartily. Then, while playing with the strawman in his hand, he said proudly, "Chen Hao, I didn't expect you to fall into my hands so soon!"

As Chen Hao lay on the ground, Xie Xiaoluan manipulated him into various strange positions, and he also had to accompany it with very painful cries.

After a few minutes, when Chen Hao's cries turned hoarse and desperate, Xie Xiaoluan stopped tormenting the strawman. He walked over to Chen Hao, stepped on him, and asked, "Chen Hao, do you want me to spare you?"

"Yes!"

Xie Xiaoluan fiercely kicked him in the abdomen, then said, "Then kneel down and lick my toes!"

"Ow!" Chen Hao pretended to scream, "My knees are about to split open, and you still want me to kneel?"

Xie Xiaoluan's tone suddenly turned cold, "Kneel or not?"

"I'll kneel, I'll kneel!" Chen Hao agreed in a piteous voice. After speaking, he slowly sat up from the ground. At this moment, he transferred the Nether Eye Power, which had been accumulating inside him and was close to bursting, to his left fist. With a loud shout, Chen Hao's left fist struck out, hitting Xie Xiaoluan's left knee.

There was a "crack" sound, and Xie Xiaoluan collapsed onto his knee, followed by an almost eardrum-bursting scream right next to Chen Hao's ears.

Listening to Xie Xiaoluan's screams, Chen Hao felt shivers down his spine and a bit of regret, wondering what would happen if he had caused Xie Xiaoluan to be permanently disabled in his left leg.

"Chen... Hao!" Xie Xiaoluan roared Chen Hao's name. His face was twisted, his complexion turning from red to somewhat blue, veins bulging on his neck, his whole body convulsing in extreme pain. He clenched his eyes shut, his mouth gaping as his teeth clattered, and then he rasped, "I'm... going to kill you!"

After speaking, he hardened his heart, pulled the straw doll in opposite directions with both hands, and broke it in half!

Chen Hao was horror-struck, and immediately his body split in two at the navel, just like the straw doll. Blood flowed into a river on the ground, staining it red. Under the bright, glorious streetlights, the pool of fresh red blood sparkled.

Seeing Chen Hao fall before him with eyes wide open, Xie Xiaoluan was stunned. Not until the overwhelming stench of blood drifted into his nostrils did he snap back to reality, retching repeatedly. As the blood from the pool nearly spread to his feet, he hastily stepped back several paces, tossed the straw doll behind him, buried his hands in his hair, and collapsed, "I killed him! No, I killed him!"

He shook his head slightly, his bloodshot eyes full of panic. Pausing, he glanced around before limping away in a frantic escape.

Not long after Xie Xiaoluan fled, Chen Hao's left eye sparkled with a purple light. Then, the blood on the ground flowed back into his body, and his body, which had been split in two, began to fuse...

A quarter of an hour passed.

Ye Yuqiao returned home with the bald female ghost, and Ren Deshan had also arrived downstairs.

Upon entering, Ye Yuqiao took out a Soul-collecting Bottle and three nails from a wooden box. Just then, the sound of hurried footsteps came from the stairs, and Ye Yuqiao told the female ghost urgently, "I'll put you in the Soul-collecting Bottle first, and after dealing with the Onmyoji, I'll let you out!"

"Oh!" The female ghost nodded dully.

Ye Yuqiao opened the lid, directed it towards the female ghost, and she was immediately sucked into the Soul-collecting Bottle. At that moment, a "knock knock knock" was heard at the door.

Ye Yuqiao carefully hid the Soul-collecting Bottle behind the flowerpot in the corner of the living room, then slowly walked to the door.

After composing herself, she opened the door to see the gaunt Ren Deshan blocking the entry.

Ren Deshan gave Ye Yuqiao a cold smile and asked, "Young lady, may I know what spell you cast on Chen Hao just now? It seemed to have temporarily taken away his consciousness."

"Come in and we'll talk about it, don't disturb the neighbors." Ye Yuqiao spoke with a deadpan expression.

Ren Deshan hesitated for a moment before walking into the house.

No sooner had Ye Yuqiao closed the door than she immediately threw the three nails at Ren Deshan's silhouette.

These three nails were Yin Soul nails, only able to nail a Yin Soul. Swiftly, the three nails flew and pierced through Ren Deshan's head and both wrists, forcing his Yin Soul out of his body. Finally, the nails with Ren Deshan's Yin Soul struck into the wall across the door, pinning his Yin Soul firmly to the wall.

Subsequently, Ren Deshan's body collapsed onto the ground.

"Release me!" The Yin Soul of Ren Deshan nailed to the wall yelled at Ye Yuqiao.

Ye Yuqiao ignored him, went to the corner, retrieved the Soul-collecting Bottle from behind the vase, opened the lid, and released the female ghost.

"Big sister, let's go now. I'll take you to see your husband!" Ye Yuqiao said.

The female ghost nodded repeatedly, appearing somewhat bewildered as she looked at Ren Deshan's Yin Soul on the wall.

Before leaving, Ye Yuqiao glared at Ren Deshan's Yin Soul and said, "I'll come back for you after I've dealt with big sister's matter!"

Just as Ye Yuqiao was taking the female ghost downstairs, a taxi happened to stop by the roadside, and at that moment Chen Hao got out of the taxi.

"Chen Hao!" Ye Yuqiao exclaimed in surprise.

Chen Hao approached Ye Yuqiao and without saying a word, pulled her into his arms, asking earnestly, "Ye Yuqiao, are you okay?"

Ye Yuqiao frowned for a second before responding somewhat flustered, "I'm fine! I've got that Onmyoji under control. Let's go to big sister's house quickly."

"Okay!" Chen Hao released Ye Yuqiao from his embrace, and couldn't help but leave a kiss on her forehead. Then, taking Ye Yuqiao's hand, he hurriedly got into the taxi. Meanwhile, the female ghost consciously drifted to the passenger seat.

As the taxi slowly departed, Ye Yuqiao looked at Chen Hao holding her hand tightly, and a shadow gradually fell over the corner of her eyes.
