After Mei and Shu arrived at the cabin, they went straight to the backyard.

"Uncle Zhong, are you there?" Mei Xichen shouted loudly.

"Ah, you are finally back. Miss Long thought that you two..." Uncle Zhong walked out of the house and was relieved to see that Mei and Shu were safe and sound.

"What's wrong with Long'er?" Shu Rong hurried forward and asked.

"She just fainted from excessive sadness." Uncle Zhong brought them to Long Jiaojiao's side.

"You two take good care of her first. I will notify everyone to gather and tell everyone the news that Chi Heng is dead." After saying that, Uncle Zhong walked out.

"Long'er, wake up." Shu Rong sat in front of the bed, shook Long Jiaojiao's body and called softly.

"Don't bother her. Maybe she is too nervous. You don't know how desperate she was when Chi Heng swallowed you." Mei Xichen looked at Shu Rong with a hint of jealousy in his eyes.

"Now you know, Long'er loves me more." Shu Rong smiled proudly.

"If I had known you were like this, I wouldn't have saved you. Change your clothes quickly, they're so dirty." Mei Xichen pinched his nose, only then realizing that Shu Rong's body was covered in mucus and smelled terrible.

"You're still talking about me. It's mutual." Shu Rong smiled and patted Mei Xichen's arm.

"You go first, and then I'll go."

"What? You don't dare to take it off in front of me?" Shu Rong joked.

"I'm afraid that Long'er won't see anyone when he wakes up." Mei Xichen rolled his eyes at Shu Rong.

"Okay, I'll take your turn later." After saying that, Shu Rong walked towards the inner room.

When the time came to the hour of Xu, all the ghosts were ready to report to the underworld at any time.

Everything is waiting for Long Jiaojiao to wake up as soon as possible.

"Long'er, wake up? Open your eyes and look at us. Shurong and I are by your side. We can go back now. Everyone is waiting for you." Mei Xichen stroked Long Jiaojiao's face and said softly.

"Get out of the way, let me do it." Shu Rong pushed Mei Xichen away and sat on the head of the bed. He leaned over and kissed Long Jiaojiao.

It’s true that Shu Rong’s method was simple and direct. After she kissed Long Jiaojiao’s mouth, Long Jiaojiao felt like she was suffocating for a moment, and quickly woke up from her sleep.

"Shurong, you are still alive? I am not dreaming, am I?" After Long Jiaojiao opened her eyes and saw Shurong, she stroked Shurong's cheeks with both hands and burst into tears of joy.

"How could I die if I'm lucky? Look, Mei Xichen is here too."

"Xichen, I thought I would never see you again." Long Jiaojiao stood up and hugged Mei Xichen.

"Long'er, it's okay. Everything is over. We can go back." Mei Xichen patted Long Jiaojiao's back and comforted her softly.

"Can you move now? Everyone is ready and waiting for us." Mei Xichen stroked her cheek and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"You can go. I just had a little stomach pain, but I feel much better now." Long Jiaojiao smiled and lowered her head to look at her lower abdomen.

"How about we take a break?" Mei Xichen was a little worried, so she asked Long Jiaojiao for advice.

"It's okay. Staying here for a long time is not good for the fetus in the belly, so let's go."

Long Jiaojiao told Mei Xichen to relax, got out of bed, and walked towards the underworld after meeting up with everyone.

Everyone was talking and laughing all the way and they were very happy. Long Jiaojiao's heart was instantly clearer at this moment, because this trip to the Demon City not only eliminated Chi Heng so that he didn't have to hand over his inner elixir to the King of Hell, but most importantly, he saw that the relationship between Mei Xichen and Shu Rong had taken a step forward. Although they sometimes quarreled, it was just like children playing house, and at critical moments they would still help each other like brothers.

Long Jiaojiao had never been so happy and cheerful as she was now. She held Mei Xichen with one hand and Shu Rong with the other. Her face instantly lit up, as if bathed in a spring breeze. That sweet smile made her look a lot more energetic than before.

"Your Majesty, Long Jiaojiao and the other two have returned with the ghosts and are heading to the main hall." Hei Wuchang was the first to come forward to report.

"Oh, I didn't expect that Long Jiaojiao and the others are really capable. They really got the job done."

"Please invite them in quickly." ordered the King of Hell.

"Yes." After Hei Wuchang walked outside the hall and brought Long Jiaojiao and the other two in, he and Bai Wuchang went to properly place the ghosts.

"I didn't expect you to get rid of Chi Heng so quickly. Thank you so much." The King of Hell asked the three to sit down.

"Yan Wang, this time we finally lived up to everyone's expectations and successfully eliminated Chi Heng. Our previous agreement..."

"No problem, don't worry. Look at this book." The King of Hell motioned Long Jiaojiao to come over.

Long Jiaojiao walked forward and looked at the Book of Life and Death, then looked at Mei and Shu and instantly laughed.

"But this must be kept secret from us mortals." After saying that, the King of Hell laughed.

"Thank you." Long Jiaojiao clasped her hands together to express her gratitude.

"Okay, our agreement is settled. It's inconvenient for you to stay here for long, so go back quickly."

"Okay, let's say goodbye then."

Mei Xichen and Shu Rong stood up at the same time to express their gratitude to the King of Hell, and then the three of them left the underworld.

"The human world is still better. The air is fresh, the sun is bright, and the birds are chirping. The underworld is pitch dark." Shu Rong stretched and turned his neck and said loudly.

"Well, the three of us can finally be together without worries from now on." Mei Xichen looked up at the sky, the sunlight shining so brightly that he could hardly open his eyes.

"By the way, Long'er, the King of Hell showed you the Book of Life and Death. Can you please tell us how long we can stay with you?" Shu Rong came to Long Jiaojiao and asked with a smile.

"This is a secret, I can't tell you." Long Jiaojiao smiled sweetly. She looked at the wild flowers on the ground around her, squatted down and picked a few and said, "Put them on my head."

She handed the flowers to Mei Xichen and Shu Rong respectively, her pride evident in her words.

"Okay, if you don't want to tell us, we won't ask." The two of them folded the flowers and put them on Long Jiaojiao's head.

The three of them talked and laughed along the way. They were not in a hurry to get to the fairy island. The fatigue of the past few days made them unable to get a good rest. So they checked into inns while tasting local snacks while walking.

Perhaps it was because her whole body and mind were fully relieved, Long Jiaojiao looked more charming and attractive than before. Wherever she went, passers-by looked at her with envy, which made Mei and Shu very jealous and dissatisfied.

At Shu Rong's suggestion, they ordered a men's suit for Long Jiaojiao. This time, the one who showed admiration to her was a woman on the street. However, this made them feel a lot more comfortable as they no longer had to worry about being peeped at by men.

The three of them traveled slowly, and finally returned to the fairy island after seven days.
