Ye Shikai and Chen Yuxin welcomed their son, naming him Ye Yi. Shortly after the birth, Ye Shikai was visited by members of the Netherworld Palace, including Nightmare, Ghost, and Wang Kai, who updated him on the current balance of power. During a celebratory meal, Ye Shikai promised to aid them in their future conflict with Doris and Aphrodite, before being unexpectedly joined by Ji Qian.

Ye Shikai had a son, which was a great thing. Ji Qian should come to congratulate him, but there were many conflicts between her and Chen Yuxin. Strictly speaking, Ji Qian was Chen Yuxin’s love rival. If she came to celebrate, it would surely arouse Chen Yuxin’s displeasure, so Ye Shikai thought Ji Qian would not come.

"Qian, I’m happy you came to congratulate me." Ye Shikai downed a glass of wine. Now that he had a child, Ji Qian’s feelings for Ye Shikai became clearer. In the past, they might have had some ambiguity between them, but now, Ji Qian could only bury her love deep in her heart.

"So, our Three Temples are gathered, which is really great." Wang Kai said excitedly.

"Yes, now that we’ve regained our previous strength, we just need to reorganize for a while longer before we can take the initiative to attack." Ye Shikai led the discussion. He had thought it through carefully—wait at least until Chen Yuxin finished her postpartum recovery before launching an attack. By then, the Three Temples’ strength would be stable, and Chen Yuxin could tend to Ye Yi herself, allowing Ye Shikai to leave with peace of mind.

Originally, he didn’t want to meddle in the affairs of the Netherworld Palace anymore, but realizing that Nightmare might not be a match for Doris, and remembering that Doris had killed many of his Netherworld Palace brothers, he couldn’t leave this grudge unsettled.

"Great, Boss, we’ve been waiting for those words." Soul Destroyer stood up, excitedly speaking.

"Exactly, we now have experts in abundance, and with the adult’s assistance, we can definitely kill Doris and avenge our brothers."

"Yes."

Everyone drank with joy, and Ji Qian, taking the opportunity to go to the bathroom, quietly called Ye Shikai out.

"You called me out, what’s the matter?" Ye Shikai asked.

"Why did you say you were going to the Sea King Palace to battle Doris?" Ji Qian’s tone was serious, devoid of the joking manner from the table earlier.

"It’s simple. Doris has stained her hands with the blood of many of my brothers from the Netherworld Palace. It was thanks to her that I time-traveled back to the Qin Dynasty. Besides, have you forgotten? During the Main God Conference on the Holy Mountain, you were poisoned. If it weren’t for Soul Destroyer and the others getting you to the Worm Sect in Yun City in time, you would’ve been killed by her."

"But now, you’re not alone. You have Chen Yuxin, and a newborn child. Doris is treacherous, and her strength is no less than yours. Everyone at the table just now, not one of them might be her match. If you really go and something happens, what will Miss Chen and your son do?" Ji Qian expressed her concerns, and Ye Shikai sighed. He had thought about this long ago—what kind of person was Doris! Her cunning was no less than Aphrodite, and her strength was comparable to Zeus of the past. Facing such a formidable opponent, who could say there’s no chance of failure?

"Don’t worry, I’ll persuade her to let me go. I promise I’ll return safely. Once Doris and Aphrodite are dealt with, the Underworld will finally be at peace." Ye Shikai continued, "Now we have enough personnel, the entire Netherworld Palace is with us, plus you and Old Wang—no matter how strong Doris is, she is not our match."

"Alright then, since you’re going, I’ll go too. To ensure everything is covered, I’ll bring the White Mist Army with us. By doing so, our chances of success increase." Ji Qian said.

"That’s wonderful. If we do that, Doris will certainly be defeated beyond doubt." Ye Shikai said plainly. In fact, over these four months, he hadn’t let up on his training in the Chen family at all. Recently, he felt that the shackles in the Emperor Xuan Scripture were beginning to loosen. If luck allowed, he might advance once more before attacking Doris, and each breakthrough in the Emperor Xuan Scripture meant a qualitative leap in power, making the confrontation with Doris a sure success.

"If you have time, you should actually spend more of it with Miss Chen. She’s worn herself out considerably during the two months you were missing." Ji Qian suddenly said.

"And now, she’s birthed you a son too."

"I know. Once things settle down, I’ll spend time with her."

Chen family.

"Kai, look how cute the baby is." Chen Yuxin was sitting by the crib, looking at Ye Yi, her face full of smiles.

"Yes," Ye Shikai said softly, "Xin, the doctors said you need at least two more weeks before you’re discharged. Why did you leave early?"

"You know me, I’ve actually already recovered. It’s too stifling in the hospital, nowhere as comfortable as home." Chen Yuxin was a cultivator, so her body naturally recovered faster than an ordinary person’s. The key point was that she simply didn’t want to stay in the hospital.

"Alright then, just make sure you rest plenty." Ye Shikai instructed.

"By the way, did you meet with the few from the Netherworld Palace this afternoon?" Chen Yuxin suddenly asked.

"Yes, they came from afar to congratulate me. What’s the problem?" Ye Shikai waved his hand off, not giving it much thought.

"It’s nothing. It’s just that you’ve already handed the position of the Netherworld King to Nightmare, so you should trust him and not get involved with the Netherworld Palace affairs anymore."

As expected, Chen Yuxin still didn’t want Ye Shikai meddling in the international Underworld affairs. Of course, Ye Shikai understood. Every time he was involved, there was always a "risk to life," and as his wife, she naturally didn’t want her husband to take risks.

"Do you know Doris?" Ye Shikai decided not to hide it anymore. Some things should be stated sooner.

"Of course, she’s your enemy, right?"

"Exactly. She’s my enemy, an irreconcilable one. After some time, it will be the best opportunity to deal with her. If I miss it, she’ll become a threat in the future." Ye Shikai’s tone was light, but the point was clear—he had to deal with Doris.

"Getting rid of her is fine, but you can’t go."

"You know equally well that Doris’ strength is unmatched, and even Nightmare is no match for her. If I don’t go, nobody will be able to defeat her. Otherwise, it will lead to significant casualties."

"And what does that have to do with me?" Chen Yuxin suddenly clung to his arm, "You’re my husband, Yi’er’s father. If something happens to you, what will we do?"

"No matter what, you mustn’t go. If you really want to take down Doris, I can have the Shadow Organization take action, plus all the elders and experts of the Chen family. Such a combined effort would be enough to drain her to death through attrition."

"Kai, I can lose anybody, even the entire Chen family, but I can’t lose you and Yi’er." As Chen Yuxin spoke, tears suddenly welled up, and Ye Shikai could only step forward to comfort her.
