My Girlfriend is the Nether King

The night was deep.

Netherworld, Wushuang City.

The news of three Primordial Demons of the Underworld being eradicated had spread throughout Wushuang City, so even at this hour, there were citizens in the bustling areas still celebrating the event, creating a joyful and harmonious atmosphere.

However, inside the room of Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao, there was a bleak and quiet air.

Although Chen Hao was busy taking care of a child and seemed normal, Ye Yuqiao could sense that he was actually quite sad.

When Chen Hao turned off the lights and lay on the bed, turning his back to Ye Yuqiao, she suddenly leaned close to him from behind and whispered in his ear, "Honey, I know you're very upset. If you want to vent, just vent, don't always keep it bottled up inside."

Chen Hao did not respond but turned around after a while to face Ye Yuqiao, looking at her eyes tender as water, hesitating to speak.

At that moment, in his widened eyes, Ye Yuqiao saw the faint flicker of tears and a hidden sadness.

"Lin Xiaofan was your childhood sweetheart. It's natural for you to be sad now that she's gone," Ye Yuqiao consoled.

"Yes," Chen Hao nodded, his voice very hoarse.

Then, after two minutes of silent eye contact with Ye Yuqiao, tears began falling one by one from Chen Hao's eyes, then converged into a line, tracing down the contours of his face, forming a stream.

Ye Yuqiao's lips slightly curled up, the Chen Hao in front of her was adorably pitiable.

She reached out to wipe the tears from Chen Hao's eyes, then left a kiss on his forehead.

"Who asked you to keep it all inside? Does it feel horrible now?" Ye Yuqiao teased.

Chen Hao stubbornly shook his head, feeling much relieved inside.

"Yuqiao, I also want to lie down in the little bed, to sleep together with our baby and cry together."

Ye Yuqiao smiled gently, pinching Chen Hao's face, "It seems I really need to take care of three babies."

Chen Hao reached out and pulled Ye Yuqiao into his arms.

After a while, when Chen Hao had calmed down, he said, "Wife, I've been thinking about what Lin Xiaofan said to me before she died. She said the Samsara Path is not the exit of the Mirror Realm, so why did I return to the real world when I jumped into it that day?"

"How have you become so silly? Obviously, jumping into the Samsara Path you might have died or disappeared, and she couldn't bear it, so she let you out," Ye Yuqiao answered.

"But why did she let me go? After all, it was she who captured me in the first place."

"I guess when she trapped you in the Mirror Realm, it was mostly because of the pressure from Hua Shan. Later, she found it to be an excuse to deceive Hua Shan, so she let you go."

"In the end, she still had you in her heart!" Ye Yuqiao said meaningfully.

Chen Hao did not reply, but just held Ye Yuqiao tighter. From then on, he would never see Lin Xiaofan again, even if they were to meet again, it would only be in memories.

"Chen Hao, you are actually very fortunate, at just twenty-two years old you have met three women who have deeply touched your heart," Ye Yuqiao suddenly said with a heavy tone.

"What's the matter? Wife, why suddenly summarizing my life?"

"My heart feels a little sour, you are not allowed to be sad anymore," Ye Yuqiao suddenly pinched Chen Hao's chest, saying.

Chen Hao nodded, then bent his head down to kiss Ye Yuqiao on the lips.

After parting ways, Ye Yuqiao said, "If Lin Xiaofan hadn't left today, it would have been a day worth celebrating for me. From the Great Ancestor of the Nether King to me, the Fourth Generation Underworld King, the ultimate fate of each Nether King is to sacrifice their soul to seal the Gate of the Nether King, much like a curse. Now that the three Primordial Demons of the Underworld are dead, I don't have to worry that our child will inherit that fate."

"If it weren't for that destiny, we would not have met, nor would we have our child."

"Although it seems that I changed our destiny by entrusting you with the Nether King's Heart initially, looking back now, it all feels like there was some divine arrangement, making it inevitable for us to meet, struggle through hardships, and come together, just like today."

"Yes!" Chen Hao nodded, "Didn't I predict several years ago? I am destined to be the man of the king."

..

..

Two days later.

In the mortal world, City H.

For Chen Hao, after dealing with the three Primordial Demons of the Underworld, the only enemies left were Tai Shan, Gu Lai, and the ghost infant born twenty years ago, who had kicked open the Gate of the Nether King and was reincarnated as Little Su.

So, he came to City H and found the supermarket where Little Su had been working.

As the three of them had anticipated, Little Su had resigned and his whereabouts were unknown.

Then, with the help of Little Su's colleague from the supermarket, the three visited the rental house where Little Su used to live.

Upon entering the rental house, Hua Shan immediately used his ability to perceive the past, but the history of the past year within the house had been erased by someone.

Although Hua Shan found nothing, Chen Hao, as an Onmyoji, discovered that Little Su's room was filled with the smell of zombies. Furthermore, in the bathroom of the rental house, they also found many cockroaches and bats.

"This house is full of the scent of zombies; could Little Su be a zombie?" Chen Hao wondered.

"Zombies?" Ye Fei's eyes shone with keen interest.

"The day my wife gave birth, the island that emerged from the East Sea surface smelled of something similar to zombies. Could it be that the beast sealed beneath the lake on the island is related to zombies?" Chen Hao looked pensive as he spoke to Ye Fei.

"Beast, zombies?" Prompted by Chen Hao, Ye Fei felt as though he had stumbled upon a clue.

However, he struggled to remember, until suddenly a gust of wind came in, shaking the old window facing north inside the rental house.

Ye Fei's gaze was drawn outdoors towards the north. His eyes radiated with a flash of light.

He looked excitedly at Chen Hao and asked, "Do you remember the disaster that happened three years ago in the northern district of City H? Wasn't Tai Shan there with that black dragon?"

Chen Hao nodded.

"After the collapse of the underground Golden Palace, wasn't there an initial zombie you recognized?" Ye Fei continued.

Chen Hao nodded again: "You're talking about Qin Shang?"

"It took a deep risk to retrieve an ancient zither from the Golden Palace and shouted someone's name just before dying. That name seemed to be, seemed to be."

"Blood Demon King!" A spark of inspiration struck Chen Hao's mind.

The moment Qin Shang had called out this name with his dying breath, it had caught his attention.

"In our Onmyoji circles, there's a rumor that the original zombies were created by the Blood Demon King's bite!" Chen Hao stated.

"Could it be that the Blood Demon King is sealed beneath the lake on that island?
