Seeing Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan about to start bickering again, Ye Qiu felt a headache coming on.
He said helplessly, "Did you two forget what happened yesterday? I don't want to be embarrassed out here."
Hearing Ye Qiu's words, the two couldn't help but recall the 'heart-to-heart' scene from yesterday.
They subtly glanced at each other's bodies.
Dugu Yan's face flushed, and she also curled her lip in disdain.
"You!" Ning Rongrong glared at Dugu Yan with a red face.
Seeing that the other party completely ignored her, she had no choice but to seek help from Ye Qiu.
She said coquettishly, "Ye Qiu, look at her..."
"Ah~ Husband!" Feeling the large hand behind her, Dugu Yan's face instantly flushed crimson, and she gave Ye Qiu a reproachful glare.
"So naughty..." Xiao Wu, who was behind Ye Qiu, looked at Ye Qiu's hand, which had not yet been removed, and spat lightly with a red face.
Ye Qiu probed lightly, then showed a smile to Ning Rongrong, teasing, "Don't worry, I'll teach her a good lesson tonight."
"You stinker, what kind of lesson is that? She'd definitely enjoy it. It would be more like it if you switched her with me."
Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes speechlessly, her voice getting softer towards the end.
"You wish!" Dugu Yan hugged Ye Qiu tightly, looking at Ning Rongrong warily. At a time like this, how could she let Ning Rongrong snatch the prize?
"Brother, are you and Yan Yan Jie going to do something? Can Xiao Lan come along?" Xiao Lan joyfully hugged Ye Qiu's arm, mimicking Dugu Yan's movements, twisting and rubbing against him.
"Xiao Lan, don't even think about it. You'd better honestly stay with your Sister Rongrong. Go back and warm the bed for Sister Rongrong."
Ning Rongrong knew it was impossible even without thinking. She stepped forward and wrapped her arm around Xiao Lan's waist, intending to pull her away.
"No, Xiao Lan wants to warm the bed for Brother even more!" Xiao Lan looked at Ye Qiu with hopeful eyes.
Beast!
Ye Lingling looked at Ye Qiu, cursing him inwardly.
"Alright, stop fooling around. It's already very late today. You all should stay in Soto City for now. Tomorrow, I'll pick you up to return to Heaven Dou City together."
Ye Qiu withdrew his hand and ruffled Xiao Lan's hair.
"Why don't you all rest for the night at the hotel where I and Yan Yan are staying?"
Ye Lingling, who had been standing uncomfortably on the side, finally found an opportunity to speak.
Ye Qiu looked at her with some surprise.
"That's fine. It'll be good to have Xiao Lan accompany you, Lingling, so you won't be too lonely." Dugu Yan didn't think much of it and readily agreed.
"Alright." Ye Qiu nodded lightly.
He looked at Ye Lingling with some curiosity. Logically speaking, given her personality, she shouldn't have said such things.
"Brother~ Xiao Lan."
"Be good! There will be plenty of time to accompany you later..."
Ye Qiu tapped Xiao Lan on the head.
Xiao Wu and the two other girls also agreed. It saved them the trouble of finding a hotel.
Ye Qiu activated his Divine Power, taking Dugu Yan inside.
He turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing.
"Zhuqing, you all just wait at the hotel tomorrow."
"Mhm." Zhu Zhuqing nodded, then suddenly blurred into a afterimage, quickly appearing in front of Ye Qiu.
If it weren't for the encumbrance, the two would have been completely pressed against each other.
Before Ye Qiu could say anything, Zhu Zhuqing stood on her tiptoes and kissed him. She wasn't completely without temper, leaving tooth marks on Ye Qiu's lips.
Seeing this, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu also pursed their red lips, looking eager to try.
They wanted to mark him with their scent first.
Ning Rongrong looked at Dugu Yan beside her, thinking maliciously.
Xiao Lan also watched this scene with shining eyes, wanting a share of the feast.
...
Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well Secret Realm.
After tasting the lips of the girls, Ye Qiu brought Dugu Yan back here.
Throughout the entire process, Dugu Yan's face was filled with smiles.
As soon as they appeared, Dugu Bo, who was still holed up in his room, quickly appeared before them, with his usual green beard and hair and grey long robe.
He was more than familiar with the aura of his granddaughter.
"Yan Yan, you finally decided to come back!" Dugu Bo's face was beaming with smiles.
"Grandpa!" Dugu Yan trotted over to Dugu Bo and gave him a light hug. It was rare for her to be separated from Dugu Bo for so long.
She missed him dearly.
"Senior Dugu."
Ye Qiu greeted him from the side.
"Mhm!" Dugu Bo nodded faintly.
What's a grandson-in-law compared to a granddaughter?
Ye Qiu looked at his indifferent expression, his mouth twitching slightly.
Unfortunately, the warm scene didn't last long before it was broken by a scream.
"Ouch! Yan Yan, what are you doing?" Dugu Bo, who had been smiling moments ago, could no longer smile.
He quickly distanced himself from Dugu Yan, clutching his long beard, heartbroken.
"Hmph! What am I doing? My husband has already told me everything."
Dugu Yan stood with her hands on her hips, her eyes glaring fixedly at Dugu Bo.
She hadn't forgotten about that matter with Liu Erlong!
"You little brat, you actually dared to complain about this old man!" Dugu Bo immediately reacted.
He stretched out his hand, trembling, and pointed at Ye Qiu, who was looking up at the sky.
Then he looked at his furious granddaughter and quickly explained, "Yan Yan, Grandpa is doing all this for your own good."
"For my own good?" Dugu Yan frowned.
Why were both times for her 'own good' about drugging someone?! Couldn't he try a different method?!
"That's right, you don't know. During the time you were away, this brat brought so many women to see Grandpa."
Dugu Bo pointed at Ye Qiu, his beard bristling and his eyes wide.
Then he said earnestly, "Grandpa was just afraid that you would suffer losses after marrying him in the future."
"That Liu Erlong and Ye Qiu were already flirting. If Grandpa does her a favor, she'll repay it to you."
Dugu Yan frowned, not expecting her grandpa to have thought of this issue even earlier than she had.
She gave a displeased glance at Ye Qiu, who was snickering on the side.
Thinking of the purpose of her return tonight, she didn't make things too difficult.
"Grandpa... I'm sorry, Yan Yan was too quick."
Dugu Yan said apologetically.
"It's alright, it's alright. Just don't pull Grandpa's beard so much in the future!" Dugu Bo waved his hand, letting out a sigh of relief.
However, seeing Ye Qiu snickering not far away, he couldn't help but get angry.
"You brat, you still dare to laugh? It's all your fault for messing around... You caused this old man to suffer this undeserved calamity."
"Senior Dugu, I merely informed Yan Yan of the facts as they were." Ye Qiu shrugged. As for 'messing around,' it didn't seem too messy; it was still within controllable limits for now.
"Alright, Grandpa, now I have something I need your help with." Dugu Yan tugged twice, distracting Dugu Bo's attention.
"What is it? Yan Yan, tell me, I'll definitely help you solve it!" Dugu Bo patted his chest, full of confidence.
...
Dugu Yan's face was flushed like a peach blossom, and she seemed unsure how to speak, turning her gaze towards Ye Qiu.
She said shyly, "You tell Grandpa."
After speaking, she ran off to her room, which she hadn't lived in for a long time.
"Yan Yan?" Dugu Bo looked strangely at his granddaughter's retreating back, completely confused.
"Ahem." Ye Qiu cleared his throat, drawing Dugu Bo's attention to himself.
Ye Qiu pondered for a moment, then chuckled awkwardly, "Senior Dugu... Can you go out for a walk tonight?"
Dugu Bo frowned.
"You brat, what do you mean? I just saw Yan Yan, and you're already chasing me away?"
"Of course not. It's just that Yan Yan and I... have something to do tonight." Ye Qiu's face was full of embarrassment, and he spoke somewhat haltingly.
"Hmm?" Dugu Bo frowned, then quickly understood.
"Hehehe." He suddenly let out a strange laugh, a teasing smile appearing on his face, and patted Ye Qiu on the shoulder.
"Good! Good boy, you've finally come to your senses. This old man can't wait to hold his great-grandson!"
"Alright! This old man will leave now... No, wait. I still have something to give Yan Yan."
"No! I'll give it to you instead."
"Huh? What...?" Before Ye Qiu could ask, Dugu Bo took out a small packet of powder and put it into Ye Qiu's hand, whispering a few instructions to Ye Qiu.
Several black lines appeared on Ye Qiu's forehead.
"Senior, this is temporarily..."
"Don't say anything else, just give it to Yan Yan!" Dugu Bo snorted coldly, completely ignoring him, and disappeared on the spot.
