My Girlfriend is the Nether King

In the afternoon, Xie Xiaoluan suddenly called Xiao Feng. During the call, Xie Xiaoluan told him with a tone relishing in schadenfreude that the Yin Yang Master Association was planning to arrive at Jingwen Middle School's gate before school was dismissed to apprehend Ye Yuqiao and Chen Hao and take them to the Yin Yang Master Association.

The reason Xie Xiaoluan told Xiao Feng this was that he knew Xiao Feng had recently harbored deep resentment towards Chen Hao and wanted to cheer him up. He absolutely didn't expect that his brother had, by this time, already sided with Chen Hao.

After hanging up, Xiao Feng immediately called Chen Hao to the corridor and informed him about the Yin Yang Master Association's plan to act ahead of schedule. After sharing that, he proceeded to tell Chen Hao how to counter the Yin Yang Master Association's preemptive move with a strategy.

"Brilliant idea!" Chen Hao couldn't help but exclaim after hearing Xiao Feng's strategy.

Xiao Feng hummed proudly, looking quite pleased with himself. But after a short while, he stopped smiling, furrowed his brows, and asked in a low voice, "Chen Hao, since we're teammates now, shouldn't you tell me about Ye Yuqiao? I heard that she only has a Yang Spirit, is that true?"

"Uh..." Hesitating for a moment, Chen Hao awkwardly nodded his head, then stammered an explanation, "That's true indeed. But... but you can rest assured, she's not some demoness. She... She... Right! Just like those five Onmyoji who came to my house last night, her Yin Soul was incinerated by the flames that spurted from my left eye."

"You burned off her Yin Soul!" Xiao Feng exclaimed in disbelief of what Chen Hao had said.

"That's right!" Chen Hao blinked repeatedly, "You should know about the seal on my left eye. A feng shui master, who claimed to be the reincarnation of the Great Emperor of Mount Tai, drew it on my left eye when I was very young. Later, for some reason, that seal... suddenly started shooting out purple flames. Half a month ago, Ye Yuqiao's Yin Soul was accidentally burned by the purple flames; she had no sensation at the time until the day before yesterday when your grandfather took her to the Yin Yang Master Association, and we found out about this."

After he concocted this story, Chen Hao was shocked at how flawlessly he had managed to lie. He hadn't told Xiao Feng the truth partly because he still didn't trust him but also to protect Ye Yuqiao. He didn't want a second person in this world to know about Ye Yuqiao's identity as the Nether King. The more people who knew, the more danger there was.

"So that's how it is!" Xiao Feng muttered thoughtfully, appearing to believe Chen Hao's words by about seventy percent. After thinking for a bit, he asked, "According to what you're saying, the feng shui master who claims to be the reincarnation of the Great Emperor of Mount Tai is the one who gave you the power of the seal on your left eye. Have you seen that feng shui master since then? Did you ask him why he did it?"

Chen Hao shook his head and shrugged, pursing his lips as he replied, "Never saw him again! It was Old Liu who introduced him, and grandpa invited him just to seal my yin and yang left eye. Not long ago, before my grandpa fell into a coma and was hospitalized, he even considered summoning Old Liu's Yin Soul to inquire about that fate-telling master's whereabouts, but Old Liu's Yin Soul couldn't be found. As for why that feng shui master wanted to give me the power of the seal, I guess he saw potential in me. Haha!"

"It seems this matter is quite mysterious!" Xiao Feng said, his brows furrowed in thought. After a pause, he looked at Chen Hao and asked skeptically, "You burned Ye Yuqiao's Yin Soul, doesn't she hate you for it? You know a person without a Yin Soul cannot be reincarnated, nor can they have children in their current life."

"I know!" Chen Hao sighed, then looked resolutely down the end of the corridor. "So I can only spend the rest of my life properly making it up to her, treasuring her love like a precious jewel!"

Hearing this, Xiao Feng was momentarily taken aback. In his eyes, the Chen Hao before him was no longer the Chen Hao who had grown up with him, always causing trouble and stirring up mischief.

In the afternoon, with fifteen minutes left before school was dismissed, Xiao Feng leaned back and sent Chen Hao, who was also sitting in the last row, a "zzz" as their secret signal.

Very quickly, Chen Hao glanced at Xie Xiaofeng and nodded in understanding. Then he leaned over to Ye Yuqiao, who was sitting at the same desk, and whispered, "The plan is about to start!"

The so-called "plan" that Chen Hao mentioned was the brilliant idea that Xie Xiaofeng had proposed to him during the class break.

"Chen Hao, I've been tolerating you for a long time now!" Xie Xiaofeng suddenly stood up from his seat, pointing at Chen Hao with fiery anger.

The teacher, who was giving a lecture at the podium, was utterly incensed upon seeing Xie Xiaofeng's sudden outburst; meanwhile, all the students in the class turned their heads in unison to look at Xie Xiaofeng.

"Xie Xiaofeng, what are you doing!" the teacher yelled loudly.

Chen Hao also rose from his seat at this moment, pointing back at Xie Xiaofeng and retaliated, "If you're so bold, then don't hold it in!"

Since both of them were acting, upon seeing Xie Xiaofeng's earnestly engaged expression, Chen Hao almost laughed. After pointing at Xie Xiaofeng and saying his piece, he hastily turned his head to the side, toward the wall, and stealthily chuckled twice.

Seeing Chen Hao snickering, Xie Xiaofeng also struggled to contain his laughter. Fortunately, he bent down in time, laughing as he pulled out a knife from the drawer that had been prepared in advance. When he stood up again, his face had reverted to the furious expression from earlier. Then, brandishing the knife, he charged at Chen Hao and shouted, "I'll chop you to pieces!"

Following the plan, Chen Hao feigned extreme fear, screamed, and then immediately turned and ran out of the classroom; Xie Xiaofeng deliberately slowed his steps, following closely behind Chen Hao with the knife in hand.

Many of the girls in the class shrieked piercingly upon seeing Xie Xiaofeng wielding a knife.

"Stop it at once!" the history teacher shouted in panic, and immediately followed them out of the classroom.

After leaving the classroom, Xie Xiaofeng chased Chen Hao along the corridors of the entire floor until they came to a stop at the wall corner of the hallway.

Teachers and students from other classes, who were in the middle of lessons, were utterly astonished upon witnessing this scene and flocked to the corridors to watch. Soon, the corner of the hallway was packed with teachers and students. The teachers stood at the forefront of the crowd, stretching out their arms to prevent the students from moving forward, while they earnestly and patiently tried to persuade Xie Xiaofeng.

"All of you stay back!" Xie Xiaofeng lifted the knife in his hand and roared furiously at the teachers behind him, his face red and ears burning, his imitation of crazed anger was extremely convincing.

"Alright, alright, we won't come over, but you don't be rash!" one of the male teachers said urgently.

Xie Xiaofeng turned his head to look at Chen Hao, very pleased with himself, and winked at Chen Hao. Chen Hao pursed his lips in an attempt to hold back his laughter, and with his left hand behind his back, he stealthily gave Xie Xiaofeng a thumbs up.

Among the onlooking students, Chen Hao's ex-girlfriend Lin Xiaofan was struggling to push through the crowd with her deskmate Tang Jing. She was anxious, "Tang Jing, hurry, go and persuade Xie Xiaofeng!"

Tang Jing grabbed Lin Xiaofan and said thoughtfully, "Lin Xiaofan, you're not worried about that asshole Chen Hao, are you?"

Tang Jing had already guessed that Xie Xiaofeng and Chen Hao were putting on an act.

Lin Xiaofan looked at Tang Jing, and immediately her face fell into shadows. She said nothing more.

At that moment, in the empty classroom of Senior Year Class 10, Ye Yuqiao sat calmly in her chair. A minute earlier, she had phoned the police, reporting that a student at Jingwen Middle School had pulled a knife and was threatening to kill someone.

Five minutes later, upon hearing the siren of the police cars, Ye Yuqiao walked out of the classroom. Seeing the police cars parked in front of the school building, she headed downstairs.

Before long, the police brought Xie Xiaofeng and Chen Hao down from the building, followed by a large crowd of teachers and students.

At that point, Ye Yuqiao walked toward the police cars and coldly said to one of the officers, "Officer, I know why those two started fighting."

"Oh?" The officer looked at Ye Yuqiao with curiosity and, after thinking for a moment, replied, "Then please come with us to the station!"

And so, Chen Hao, Xie Xiaofeng, and Ye Yuqiao were all taken away by the police.

When the police passed the school gates, Chen Hao saw more than twenty onmyoji led by Xie Da. A slight smile crept up the corners of his mouth, thinking to himself that Xie Xiaofeng's plan had already succeeded by half; the rest would wait until tonight.

After being taken to the police station, the police separated them for questioning. Following the pre-arranged confessions, the three of them told the police that Xie Xiaofeng had been beaten up by Chen Hao for pestering Chen Hao's girlfriend, Ye Yuqiao. Feeling indignant, he had taken up the knife to seek revenge on Chen Hao.

After hearing this, the police decided to let the three of them go after a two-hour lecture, considering they were all students.

Seeing an officer about to call the school to pick them up, Chen Hao, thinking quickly on his feet, picked up a stool and threw it near Xie Xiaofeng. Xie Xiaofeng was initially startled, then quickly understood and started scuffling with Chen Hao; Ye Yuqiao immediately joined the fray, tossing office supplies gently at Xie Xiaofeng from the table.

Quickly, three officers pulled them apart.

"Wait till we get out; I'll kill you!" Xie Xiaofeng shouted loudly.

"Xie Xiaofeng, I won't let you off either!"

Seeing this, the police had no choice but to change their original plan and temporarily jail the three. Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao were locked in one cell, while Xie Xiaofeng was secluded in another.

It was late into the night.

The jail was very dark, with only a dim yellow light shining faintly in the corridor.

Suddenly, the sound of a door opening broke the silence of the jail, and a silver light shot in. Under the glow of that silver light, a black shadow moved unhurriedly to the front of Xie Xiaofeng's cell door.

"Xie Xiaofeng, your family is here to see you!" an officer said coldly.

The officer then opened the door and took Xie Xiaofeng away. Passing by the cell of Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao, Xie Xiaofeng gave them a significant look as if to remind them that the Seven Fairies might be coming for them soon.

The jail door closed, the silvery light in the corridor vanished, and the cell was once again plunged into darkness.

At that moment, Chen Hao sat beside Ye Yuqiao, wrapped his arms around her, and after kissing her hair said, "Ye Yuqiao, to be honest, I quite like it here; it's as if the whole world is just you and me."

"If that were true, wouldn't you find it lonely and boring?"

"How could I?" Chen Hao replied without hesitation. "As long as I have you, that's enough."

Suddenly, a chill wind swept through. In the dim light, Chen Hao saw several shaky shadows drifting closer.

Chen Hao took Ye Yuqiao's hand and slowly stood up.

After the chill wind passed, the Seven Fairies appeared before them.

Chen Hao's mouth curved slightly upward, thinking these seven ghostly women have finally come, and tonight, he would annihilate them!
