"Alright, let's not think about these things for now. Time to eat!"
Ye Qiu smiled, temporarily putting the matter to the back of his mind.
"Let's go to my house today. I promised my dad last time!" Ning Rongrong came up behind Ye Qiu and hugged his neck.
"Mhm!"
Ye Qiu nodded, his eyes glowing with red light, as he led the three girls towards the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for dinner.
"Kid, you're late!"
By the time Ye Qiu arrived with the three girls, Ning Fengzhi and the other two were already seated.
The white-haired, youthful-faced Sword Douluo was still full of vigor.
After Sword Douluo absorbed that Spirit Bone earlier, he was already on the verge of breaking through to rank ninety-seven.
When Ye Qiu dealt with Nangong and the others last time, he still had quite a few Ten Thousand Year Spirit Bones.
He originally wanted to help him, but he was refused.
In his own words.
He was just missing an opportunity, and those Spirit Bones were better left for Ye Qiu and the others.
Before Ye Qiu could speak, Ning Rongrong said in a sweet voice:
"We're not that late, the dishes aren't even all out yet!"
"Haha… Rongrong, why are you always taking his side? Your Grandpa Sword is a little sad."
Bone Douluo laughed from the side.
"Grandpa Bone, how am I taking his side? Ye Qiu is one of us!"
"Alright, Rongrong~" Ye Qiu twitched his lips, stopping her.
"Greetings, Uncle Ning, and two seniors!"
Ye Qiu and the two girls, Xiao Wu and Zhuqing, said in unison.
"Mhm, alright. Hurry up and sit down!" Ning Fengzhi, who had been quietly watching from the side, smiled gently and motioned for everyone to sit down.
…
After a harmonious lunch, Ye Qiu took Xiao Wu and the others to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to cultivate.
Inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the three girls, Xiao Wu, Zhuqing, and Rongrong, cultivated on one side.
Ye Qiu, on the other hand, sat at a table with Dugu Bo, chatting idly.
"Senior Dugu, after Xue Beng left you a letter last time, he hasn't looked for you again?"
"How would this old man know? This old man hasn't returned to Heaven Dou City recently."
Dugu Bo shook his head.
He was also a bit confused about Xue Beng knowing about his poisoning.
However, he didn't want to get involved in these matters and just pretended not to have seen anything.
Anyway, the snake venom in his body was still very stable at the moment.
In addition, with the Blood-colored Swan Kiss by his side, Dugu Bo wasn't afraid that anyone would come knocking on his door to force him to do anything.
Ye Qiu also shook his head with a wry smile, feeling a bit solemn at the same time.
For the sake of the throne, Xue Beng was already openly preparing his own forces.
He wondered what unexpected events would occur during Qian Renxue's coup.
Things seemed to be getting difficult for Xue Ke as well!
Emperor Xue Ye was, after all, her biological father.
If Qian Renxue failed at that time, he absolutely could not let Xue Beng ascend to power.
That guy's profligacy didn't seem like an act, not to mention he had even sided with those murderous Evil Soul Masters!
Ye Qiu rubbed his temples. Fortunately, he still had some time, and the power behind him was also considerable.
Suddenly, he looked at Dugu Bo, with a somewhat shy expression on his face.
"By the way, Senior! Do you have medicine?"
"Hmm?" Dugu Bo raised his dark green eyebrows, looking at Ye Qiu in surprise.
"What? Did you finally figure things out, kid? Are you going to make a move on some girl?"
"Cough cough… Senior, what nonsense are you talking about!" Ye Qiu coughed twice, a look of embarrassment in his eyes.
He, Ye Qiu, would never resort to such despicable means to get a woman.
If he really wanted to, a glare from his eyes would be enough!
"You should know Zhuqing's identity, right? As for her fiancé, I want to completely eradicate him!"
"Heh, you kid! Why would you need my medicine for that! You can just chop him up!" Dugu Bo snorted twice. His Poison Douluo's medicine was not something that could be casually asked for.
"Okay, you're right!"
Ye Qiu rolled his eyes helplessly. It was indeed true.
"Yan Yan will be arriving in Soto City in a while. When she does, bring her back so I can see her properly!"
Dugu Bo's eyes flashed with longing. He hadn't seen his granddaughter for several months, and he missed her very much.
"I know that. I'll bring her back to see you, old man, then!" Ye Qiu nodded, feeling a little excited about seeing Dugu Yan. It was also time for him to give her an explanation.
…
As night slowly fell, Ye Qiu took the three girls and bid farewell to Dugu Bo.
He then sent them to the Life Lake to visit Da Ming and Er Ming.
Because Xiao Wu and the others often came here, a small wooden house had already been built not far from the lake.
It was a simple two-bedroom, one-living-room setup.
Ye Qiu occasionally stayed overnight here too, no longer needing to sneak off with Xiao Wu into the nearby Blue Silver Emperor thicket for intimacy.
Although being in nature did have a unique flavor.
But Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were also capable of pleasing themselves, and he was almost becoming an experienced craftsman.
Since the three girls were all doing similar things, none of them avoided each other.
Whoever's turn it was to be alone with Ye Qiu, the other two girls would sleep in the other room.
"Ye Qiu… Tonight is Miss's turn, so you better come back early!" Ning Rongrong hung on Ye Qiu, twisting and squirming, constantly rubbing against him, her small face flushed with excitement.
"Mhm, don't worry, I'll deal with them quickly!" Ye Qiu nodded, his heart also feeling a bit hot. He pinched her chin and gave her a light kiss.
"Zhuqing, tonight I'll resolve this engagement for you first!" Ye Qiu looked at Zhu Zhuqing, a rare display of assertiveness.
"Mhm, I'll listen to you…"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded silently, not asking how it would be completely resolved. She only needed to trust him.
"Alright, you supervise Xiao Wu and the others' cultivation more, I'll be going first!"
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing nod, Ye Qiu felt at ease and disappeared from his spot.
…
Ye Qiu returned to Shrek Academy once again.
His Sharingan glowed purple. In Tang San's dorm room, there was surprisingly only Oscar at this moment.
Was he late?
Ye Qiu frowned slightly, his figure vanished, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Oscar.
"Ye Qiu?!" Oscar froze for a moment, a look of surprise flashing across his face.
This kind of elusive Spirit Ability, no matter how many times he saw it, was enough to make him feel incredibly amazed.
"Mhm!" Ye Qiu nodded slightly.
"Ye Qiu, are you looking for me for something?" Oscar looked at him, puzzled.
"Do you know where Tang San and the others went?" Ye Qiu nodded and asked directly.
"Oh, they all seemed to have gone to get revenge for Fatty!" Remembering Ma Hongjun's already small eyes narrowed to a slit, Oscar couldn't help but want to laugh.
Indeed!
Ye Qiu thought to himself, then asked again: "Do you know the location of that chicken coop Ma Hongjun and the others went to? Just give me a rough idea."
Oscar froze for a moment. Yu Xiaogang's special training had made them more helpful and united.
But he had already, unknowingly, started to distance himself from Tang San and the others.
After a moment of thought, Oscar still told Ye Qiu.
"Mhm, thanks!" Ye Qiu patted Oscar's shoulder, then disappeared from his sight.
I wish you all a pleasant life!
