To prove that her words were true, Xu Meijing waved her hand and took out her soul-refining cauldron.

Compared to Yang Haoran's soul-refining cauldron, Xu Meijing's was quite different. The surface was still rough, and the color was only slightly blackened, far from the complete jet black.

However, it was much better than the raw material of the soul-refining cauldron, and it was evident that she had put in a lot of effort into this matter this year.

"See, my soul-refining cauldron has already been refined for about half the time. If nothing unexpected happens, after I return from the Underworld this time, I will also devote all my time to refining the soul-refining cauldron, just like you."

As she spoke, Xu Meijing put away her unfinished soul-refining cauldron and continued, "Do you know why I didn't succeed in refining the soul-refining cauldron this year? The failure to find the extreme yin place in time is just one of the reasons. There is another reason, and that is because I was preoccupied with another matter and couldn't extricate myself."

At this point, Xu Meijing suddenly erupted with a terrifying power fluctuation. Feeling this powerful yin spirit power, the smile on Yang Haoran's face stiffened, and he was somewhat shocked.

The yin spirit power Xu Meijing was emitting at this moment was truly too strong. Not only had it caught up with him, but it had also far surpassed him.

Last year, Xu Meijing's soul pill obtained was more than Yang Haoran's, but even if Xu Meijing had refined all the obtained soul pills, her yin spirit power should not have exceeded his by so much, after all, his yin spirit power had also increased a lot compared to last year.

Xu Meijing saw the shock in Yang Haoran's eyes, especially the sudden stiffness of the smile on his face, which made her feel both proud and satisfied.

When they met last year, Yang Haoran's yin spirit power had completely surpassed hers, which had made her very unhappy. After all, whether it was becoming a Night Watch or a Burial Master, she had been ahead of Yang Haoran, and with her proud and arrogant personality, being surpassed by Yang Haoran later on had definitely made her unhappy.

Now that her yin spirit power had surpassed Yang Haoran's again, and had gone far beyond him, she naturally felt satisfied and proud.

"Last year, I said I would definitely surpass you this year. How's that? Didn't I scare you?" Xu Meijing's arrogant yet proud voice rang out, bringing Yang Haoran back from his daze, and his smile soon returned to normal.

"How did you do it?" Yang Haoran asked curiously.

"It's simple, the amount of soul pills I obtained last year was more than yours," Xu Meijing said with a laugh.

This answer was obviously too far-fetched, and Yang Haoran didn't say much, just maintaining a smile and quietly watching Xu Meijing.

Seeing the obvious disbelief on Yang Haoran's expression, Xu Meijing chuckled and said, "Hehe, it seems you don't really believe what I said?"

"Your performance is too clumsy," Yang Haoran said with a smile.

Xu Meijing waved her hand with a smile and then said with a laugh, "Forget it, I won't tease you anymore. You're not very humorous. Actually, I had an extraordinary encounter this year, so my strength has increased so much. But even if I didn't have this extraordinary encounter, if I refine all the soul pills I obtained, my yin spirit power would still surpass yours."

Even if Xu Meijing didn't explain, Yang Haoran knew that she must have had an extraordinary encounter, otherwise her yin spirit power would not have surpassed his by so much.

As for what kind of extraordinary encounter it was, since Xu Meijing didn't seem to want to mention it, he naturally didn't ask further.

Although they had gotten closer over the past two years, they were not yet in a romantic relationship. There were some things they both understood, but they had not broken through that layer of paper window. Currently, their relationship could only be considered as good friends.

"Hurry up and put away your soul-refining cauldron. This thing shouldn't be seen in the open. Don't just take it out and show off in front of me for no reason. You see, I haven't shown off my strength in front of you, have I?"

Yang Haoran chuckled and said, "But you are showing off right now, aren't you?"

"This is not showing off, I'm just telling you a fact." 

As Xu Meijing spoke, she retracted her yin spirit power, and Yang Haoran smiled and shook his head, putting away his soul-refining cauldron.

"Now that you have a soul-refining cauldron, if next time we meet, your strength still can't surpass mine, then I'll really look down on you," Xu Meijing said with a smile.

"Who knows what will happen next year? Maybe you'll have another extraordinary encounter," Yang Haoran asked with a smile.

"There are not so many extraordinary encounters. Do you think they're just lying around on the streets?" Xu Meijing rolled her eyes at Yang Haoran, then removed the restriction barrier in the study room and headed towards the door.

"You can rest here for a while. Brew some tea if you want. I need to go give my subordinates some instructions, and then I'll take you to the Underworld to get some hell coins."

Xu Meijing hadn't planned to go to the underworld today, so she hadn't made arrangements for many things yet.

She didn't expect Yang Haoran to be so eager, but since she had decided to go to the underworld with Yang Haoran, she naturally wouldn't go back on her word.

Xu Meijing's casual attitude of "just leaving" didn't bother Yang Haoran at all, and he made himself a cup of tea, then his attention was drawn to the books collected in Xu Meijing's study room.

In less than ten minutes, Xu Meijing returned to the study room and saw that Yang Haoran seemed very interested in the books she had collected, so she spoke up.

"Take any books you like, but I'm lending them to you, not giving them to you, so you have to return them when you're done."

Yang Haoran chuckled and put the book he had in his hand back in its place, saying, "I'm really interested in all the books you've collected, and I'll definitely borrow some to read when we get there."

"Whenever you want them, you can come and get them. I've taken care of everything, now I'll accompany you to the underworld. But my study room is too small to summon the Ghost Gate, so we need to find another place."

As Xu Meijing spoke, she tore open a spatial rift and gestured to Yang Haoran.

Yang Haoran nodded and followed Xu Meijing into the space rift, disappearing from the study room.

When they reappeared, the two were in the meeting room where the Ghost Gate had been summoned before.

The meeting room space was very large, and summoning the Ghost Gate was no problem at all. It was also very secluded, and besides the members of the Ancheng Yin Division, not many people knew about this meeting room, including Yang Haoran, so they could summon and close the Gate without worrying about being discovered by others.

Upon arriving at the meeting room, Yang Haoran was about to start the hand seals to summon the Ghost Gate, but he was stopped by Xu Meijing.

"Let me do it. Your strength is so weak now, it's better to save your Yin spirit power, right?"

Facing Xu Meijing's teasing, Yang Haoran felt a bit helpless. He felt that if his strength didn't catch up to Xu Meijing's, she would probably tease him like this every time they met.

He sighed, but didn't stop Xu Meijing, letting her perform the hand seals to summon the Ghost Gate.

The Ghost Gate appeared, and the powerful pressure was still there, but since the two had improved their strength, the pressure exerted by the Ghost Gate had also diminished considerably.

"Hurry up and go, don't waste time here." Xu Meijing urged.

Yang Haoran nodded, then released a protective shield that enveloped him and Xu Meijing, which was used to resist the powerful pressure released by the Ghost Gate.

"Don't be stubborn, just say if you can't take it, your sister is here for you."

Within the shield, Xu Meijing looked at the protective shield Yang Haoran had released, and teased him again with a smile, her tone full of pride.

"I could handle it last year, of course I can handle it this year too." Yang Haoran smiled.

"I can actually handle it too, if you want to try." Xu Meijing laughed.

Yang Haoran thought about it for a moment, then smiled and replied, "I'll say if I can't handle it."

Xu Meijing smiled and didn't say anything more. With her hands in her pockets, she walked towards the Ghost Gate with a casual yet arrogant and overbearing air.

Stepping into the Ghost Gate, the two figures disappeared, and after the Gate twisted and distorted, it too vanished without a trace.
