Dusk descended, enveloping the land in the shroud of night.
After consoling Ning Rongrong, Ye Qiu did not stay overnight at the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Pagoda Sect.
After bidding farewell to Ning Rongrong and Xiao Lan, he immediately used his divine might space to travel to the secret chamber in the Prince's Mansion.
The dim chamber was empty.
Ye Qiu's figure appeared in the distorted space, the gentle light from the night pearls embedded above showering him. His blood-red eyes swept around as he arrived at the stone table in the middle, patiently waiting for Qian Renxue to arrive. She usually came to cultivate here every night.
Knock, knock.
Watching the entrance to the secret chamber, Ye Qiu absentmindedly tapped the tabletop with his fingers, his expression gradually becoming solemn.
Through his inquiries, he already knew that Ning Rongrong intended to head towards the Suotuo City.
The development of events seemed to follow the original trajectory.
That also meant that Xiao Wu would appear in Suotuo City at the same time, along with Zhu Zhuqing, and Tang San's father and son!
"Phew~" Ye Qiu took a long breath, furrowing his brows. Things seemed a bit tricky! Although the development of events hadn't deviated from his understanding, Ye Qiu couldn't help but feel a bit troubled.
He must go to Suotuo City, but his appearance would inevitably connect him with Xiao Wu and others, attracting the attention of Tang Hao. Should he use the Life Mimicry?
Tap, tap.
While Ye Qiu was contemplating, footsteps echoed in the secret passage at the entrance, neither fast nor slow.
Before seeing the figure, Qian Renxue's cold voice already reached Ye Qiu's ears.
"Weren't you busy hunting soul beasts today and didn't have time to accompany me in cultivation? How come? Wasn't it smooth?"
Ye Qiu regained his composure, looking in the direction of the voice.
Golden hair, a beautiful face; even in the dim secret chamber, she remained dazzling.
Long, well-proportioned legs carried her towards him step by step.
Even before entering the secret chamber, Qian Renxue had sensed Ye Qiu's arrival.
As soon as she stepped into the chamber, a golden halo appeared around her, reverting to her original appearance.
"Answer my question!"
Without getting a response from Ye Qiu, Qian Renxue frowned lightly, sitting across from him at the stone table.
"It went smoothly. I've successfully broken through the Soul Expert!" Ye Qiu put away his contemplative look, staring directly at her.
"Oh." Qian Renxue nodded indifferently, then picked up the teapot on the table, pouring two cups of tea and slowly pushing one in front of Ye Qiu.
"Since everything went well, why do you look so troubled?"
"I'm thinking about when you'll fulfill the conditions you agreed to with me."
Picking up the teacup, taking a sip, the sweet taste at the base of his tongue calmed his inner turmoil, but his eyes never left Qian Renxue.
"Why the sudden urgency?"
Seeing Ye Qiu's serious expression, Qian Renxue was a bit puzzled.
As one of the members of the Imperial Fighting Team, she could easily get information about Dugu Yan's situation.
During this period, through the observation of Ci Xue and She Long on the training ground, she had already knew very well the situation of Dugu Yan having broken through to the fourth ring a ten thousand years ago.
Based on the breakthrough time of Dugu Yan and the appearance of Ye Qiu, Qian Renxue had already inferred many things.
But from the information she collected, it seemed that none of his women currently had no need to obtain new soul rings, right?
Driven by curiosity, Qian Renxue quickly dispelled her doubts, smiling lightly as she tasted the fragrant tea.
Looking at Ye Qiu with interest, her words carried a hint of probing.
"I'm really curious about what you want with this. Is it for Dugu Yan, perhaps?"
Hearing her words, Ye Qiu frowned. Dugu Yan's breakthrough to the fourth ring was indeed hard to conceal, but Qin Ming, as the captain of the Imperial Fighting Team, had already issued a gag order!
Understanding that the other party had investigated him and Dugu Yan, Ye Qiu's tone became a bit unfriendly.
"Why do you care so much? Just give me the thing."
Dang! The teacup in his hand was placed heavily on the table, splashing a few drops of water.
Qian Renxue's face turned cold, and seeing Ye Qiu's attitude, a surge of anger rose in her heart.
Except for that crazy woman, no one had dared to speak to her like this!
"Hmph! Do you think I want to interfere? If it weren't for your usefulness to me, with your repeated offenses, I would have dismembered you long ago!"
Although the positions during their cultivation had changed a long time ago, before that, when they faced each other, unexpected incidents often occurred.
Apart from those bumps and collisions, there were many times when Qian Renxue, under the influence of Ye Qiu's eyes, lost her mind and made some somewhat intimate moves.
"Those were just accidents, and I've warned you in advance!"
Faced with her questioning gaze, Ye Qiu turned his head to avoid it.
"Accidents!? Hehe. Then should I thank you for not taking advantage? Thank you for apologizing every time you enjoyed it?"
Qian Renxue sneered, looking at Ye Qiu, who lingered among several women every day. She was clear about the two different scents emanating from him.
Every time she thought of herself, in disarray, pressing Ye Qiu beneath her, feeling the slight heat from her body, she couldn't help but gnash her teeth.
"Moreover, your martial soul. I guess I don't need to say more. You should know what it's made of, right?"
Mockingly looking at Ye Qiu, she, with her intelligence developed since childhood, how could she not figure out why she had abnormal reactions?
It was all because of Ye Qiu's perverted eyes!
"Well! Those are indeed my mistakes! I apologize."
Ye Qiu also put down the teacup, nodding calmly. When he was about to apologize out of habit, he thought of what she had just said, furrowing his brows, and refrained from speaking.
Then he looked directly at her.
"I don't want to argue with you now. I just want to know when you can give me the thing?"
The two looked at each other, and Ye Qiu's gaze was relatively calm, without much fluctuation.
Speaking of the training in the past month or so,
In their practice, apart from some physical contact, Ye Qiu and Qian Renxue did not communicate much.
On the contrary, they almost came into a fight several times after training, causing this secret room to be repaired more than a few times, and even expanded a bit.
Qian Renxue's golden eyes flashed with cold light, and the jade hands placed under the table had clenched into fists.
'What a bastard! He didn't even bother to apologize this time!'
Biting her silver teeth, she forcibly resisted the urge to launch an angelic assault on him.
She definitely couldn't give the things to Ye Qiu now; otherwise, how would she explain the lies she had just told?
"Hmph! Since you're in such a hurry, I'll help you urge it. I'll try to deliver it in the next few days."
"Well! Thank you for your trouble then!"
Hearing her reply, Ye Qiu's mood also eased a lot. Just to be safe, he added another sentence to her.
"I hope what you said is true."
Completely unaware that the color of his soul ring had already been exposed.
Even the secret of his ability to help others obtain soul rings beyond the limit, Qian Renxue had already guessed most of it.
"Hehe, don't worry. You will definitely receive it in a few days!" Qian Renxue smiled displeasingly, picked up the teapot beside her, and poured two cups of tea, pushing one in front of Ye Qiu.
"Now, let's have a cup of tea to calm down, and then we'll start cultivating!"
"Yeah!"
Qian Renxue poured tea for Ye Qiu again, and the two sat quietly by the stone table. After finishing the tea, they went to bed.
On the bed in the secret room, a lone man and a lone woman had their backs facing each other.
Feeling the warmth from the back, Qian Renxue slightly turned her head, her eyes glanced backward, only catching a glimpse of his facial features.
Then, calming down, she gradually entered the cultivation state.
Outside the Prince's Mansion, the night grew darker.
On the bed, the attractive man and woman pressed against each other, from a distance, looked like they were wrapped in a golden-red cocoon, with threads of soul power circulating continuously, entering and exiting their bodies.
Above their heads floated a golden angelic phantom, with six wings and eyes reddish-purple. The entire secret room was enveloped in a faint golden-red hue.
As time passed, dawn broke on the horizon.
The radiant light in the secret room gradually faded away, re-entering the bodies of the two.
"Exhale~"
The two almost simultaneously opened their eyes, exhaling a breath.
"Ye Qiu."
"Qian Renxue, I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll leave now!"
Just as Ye Qiu, who had just opened his eyes, glanced at the hourglass in the secret room, before Qian Renxue could speak, he quickly greeted and disappeared with Divine Might Space on the bed.
It was time for him to go back and send Dugu Yan to the academy.
"Ah~!"
The originally quiet Qian Renxue, leaning against Ye Qiu's back, was caught off guard, directly falling onto the stone-made bed. A muffled sound came from the back of her head, and she let out a painful cry.
"Ye Qiu!"
In the empty secret room, Qian Renxue's angry roar echoed.
"What do you think this place is! Ah~ you ignorant fellow!"
Bang!
With a loud noise, as the two guards rushed in from outside, they saw the recently replaced stone bed, which had been cut in half by the sacred sword in their young miss's hand.
"You two!"
"Miss?"
Porcupinefish Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo both bowed, showing some confusion in their eyes.
"Go and pour out the soup prepared in the kitchen, pour it all out! I'm so angry!!"
Originally, she was going to ask if he wanted to stay for breakfast, but he turned out to be more decisive than usual!
Every time, it's like this, finishing things and leaving!
It made her lose her appetite, and she was angry.
Staring bitterly at the Spirit Guidance Device storing Secret Technique of Concealing Spirit rings, she muttered to herself.
"Still want it? Hmph, let me make you wait a few more days!"
...
Seven days later, on the outskirts of the training ground of the Imperial Combat Team, in the forest.
On the horizon, the setting sun dyed the sky with a golden outline, covering a charming girl in a purple training suit. Her purple-green long hair fluttered slightly in the evening breeze, and her green eyes carried a hint of gentleness as she quietly watched the space not far in front of her.
Even though Ye Qiu was quite late, Dugu Yan didn't show any impatience. She only felt anticipation.
Ye Qiu hadn't appeared all day after sending her off!
"Yan Yan!"
The space in front surged, and two blue figures appeared in the open space.
"Ye Qiu! Huh? Xiao Lan is here too!"
A hint of joy flashed in Dugu Yan's eyes. She ran towards Ye Qiu with a gift in hand.
Seeing him holding Xiao Lan's hand, she paused her steps. Seeing Xiao Lan, Dugu Yan already knew why Ye Qiu was late today.
"Yan Yan sister! Do you want a candy?" Xiao Lan happily greeted her, holding several strings of candied haws. These were bought by Ning Rongrong, who was moved by her constant sad face.
"Haha, no need, you can enjoy it yourself!" Dugu Yan lightly smiled and shook her head at her.
Habitually, she hooked Ye Qiu's arm, leaned on his shoulder, and asked softly.
"Has she left already?"
"Yeah! I've just sent Rong Rong away from the Tian dou Imperial City."
Ye Qiu nodded slightly. Although he had given her a lot of things and even gave her several Zhuge Crossbows.
"Ye Qiu~ Are you going to blame me?" Dugu Yan leaned close to Ye Qiu's ear, exhaling a warm breath that made the cool evening breeze a bit gentler.
"Why would I blame you? Moreover, even Sect Master Ning supports Rong Rong going out more."
Gently rubbing against her forehead, he withdrew his hand, encircling her delicate waist, and embraced her in his arms.
"That's good. Then let's go home! Bo~" Dugu Yan smiled brightly, gently pecking Ye Qiu's face.
"Brother~ Xiao Lan too."
"You go away!" Ye Qiu evaded Xiao Lan's red lips covered in rock sugar in disgust..
"Ah! Brother is biased."
In a noisy commotion, Ye Qiu displayed Divine Might Space Teleportation, carrying the two girls, and returned to the Sunset Forest.
...
When Ning Rongrong stepped out of the Tian dou City, far away at the border of the Tiandou Empire near the Star Dou Great Forest, close to the edge of Suotuo City.
A plump girl, a hot figure dressed in leather outfit with cat ear accessories on her head, and a cat tail hanging from the back of her waist, was constantly moving through the jungle.
Suddenly, shadows flashed behind her, and a series of arrows cut through the air. The arrowheads gleamed with a dark luster, clearly coated with poison!
Swish!
Meow! The martial spirit completed its possession in an instant and dodged all the arrows with one roll.
Clang clang! Over a dozen figures quickly emerged, surrounding her.
"Miss Zhu Qing, you'd better come back with us! The young lady won't harm you!"
Zhu Qing turned to look back, her eyes extremely cold, and her words seemed to carry a chill.
"Does Davis always operate in such a secretive manner?"
The person in front of her was a Level 46 Soul Ancestor, with yellow and purple four soul rings dancing under his feet.
"Subordinates don't understand what you're talking about. We are only following the orders of the young lady!"
Looking at the three soul rings under Zhu Qing's feet, one yellow and two purple, he was also somewhat amazed.
Unfortunately, a tall tree catches the wind! and if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them! Zhu Qing frowned, did not speak, and the Shadow Spider Lance behind her was about to move.
Looking around, her expression became somewhat solemn. If it were just one Soul Ancestor, she could have some confidence, but there were three Soul Ancestors in the team!
"It seems Miss Zhu Qing has declined the offer. Let's take her back forcefully!"
The leading man in black had a hoarse voice and slowly raised his hand. The surrounding people also activated their martial souls, displaying colorful lights.
"Everyone, attack immediately! No matter life or death! no mercy!"
The raised hand quickly dropped, and the other dozen people immediately closed in on Zhu Qing!
Puff! The Shadow Spider Lance behind Zhu Qing unfolded just as the sound of a coarse voice came from outside the encirclement.
"Kill! Spare none!"
Outside the encirclement, another group of black-clad people appeared and immediately attacked those surrounding her.
"Who are they!? Not good! Soul Kings!"
"Ah~ Spare us! We serve the Crown Prince. Ah!"
...
The collision of soul techniques, accompanied by the screams before death, echoed in the woods.
In a short while, these sounds all subsided.
Bloodstains on the ground, corpses scattered around, as if telling the fierce battle that had just taken place.
"Miss Zhu Qing, no need to be nervous. The young lady asked me to tell you that this is her sincerity, hoping you can bring back what she needs!"
They stood in front of Zhu Qing, lined up. The tall man at the front saw her still on guard and explained.
"Hehe. Four Soul Kings, did my sister reveal everything? This sincerity is quite moving."
Zhu Qing, who had witnessed the battle just now, roughly understood the strength of these people.
Putting away the Shadow Spider Lance behind her, Zhu Qing responded calmly.
"Tell her I'll do my best!"
"Then we wish you success! Retreat!"
Swish swish swish! They came quickly and left quickly. Following the man's command, they disappeared rapidly.
Zhu Qing watched their backs and the messy scene. She quickly left the area.
The sun was setting, and she had to leave the Star Dou Great Forest quickly.
Continuing towards the direction of Suotuo City, looking at the sunset in the sky, a black-haired young man with a blindfold came to her mind.
"Ye Qiu! Can I see you?"
...
Nuoding Academy, Dormitory Seven.
Outside the bed surrounded by a screen, stood a black-clad youth, with black hair, looking somewhat frail.
He was Tang San, who was about to graduate from Nuoding Academy.
At this moment, he was standing outside a screen, lowering his eyebrows, bowing his body, and calling out gently.
"Xiao Wu, have you packed? We should set off!"
Although he tried to restrain himself, he couldn't hide the joy in his voice.
Because Xiao Wu unexpectedly agreed to go to Suotuo City with him, which made him excited!
Xiao Wu really couldn't bear to part from him! His efforts were not in vain...
While Tang San was outside daydreaming about the beautiful life in the Soul Masters Academy.
Inside the screen, Xiao Wu had already packed up. Except for the wooden board, she left nothing on the bed.
Already blossoming into a beautiful young lady, she was sitting on the bed, gently turning the bamboo dragonfly that had been carefully preserved by her.
Tears shimmered in Xiao Wu's eyes. She didn't want to leave; she wanted to wait for Xiao Qiu to come back.
But the spying gaze of Tang Hao in the dark forced her to leave with Tang San!
"Xiao Qiu~ Will you find me, right?"
After calming her emotions, with a small movement of her hand, she put the bamboo dragonfly into the Soul Guide Device that Ye Qiu gave her.
She stood up and slowly walked out.
