Dugu Yan, who was biting Ye Qiu's neck, suddenly felt a surge of heat and her body instantly softened.
Realizing that Ye Qiu wanted to train, she immediately stopped moving.
"Husband~ you mustn't act recklessly."
With her heart tightening, Dugu Yan quickly begged for mercy.
Her physique was not comparable to Liu Erlong's; she was still exhausted.
One could only say that Ye Qiu was indeed trying his best to comfort her after losing the team Spirit fight.
Looking at Dugu Yan's shy and charming appearance, Ye Qiu gently caressed her cheek and softly said, "Don't worry. I know what I'm doing."
"Husband, I'll treat you right away."
"No need!"
As a green light just started to glow in Ye Qiu's hand, Dugu Yan pressed down on the hand he had placed on her face.
Looking at the blooming peach blossom marks on her delicate collarbone and snow-white neck, a hint of apology flashed in Ye Qiu's eyes.
Dugu Yan explained, "This should leave a deeper impression, right?"
Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment.
"Alright then."
"But when Senior Dugu returns, just don't feel awkward."
"Ah~? Grandpa, hiss~"
Dugu Yan exclaimed, then gasped, her sore and soft body not allowing her to move freely.
"Yan Yan, why are you suddenly so agitated?" Ye Qiu looked at her, puzzled.
"Husband, hurry up and get up."
"If Grandpa comes back later and sees us, that won't be good."
"Yan Yan won't be able to face anyone then!"
Dugu Yan's face was filled with fear and shyness.
Her soft hand scratched Ye Qiu's chest, gently pushing him.
"So that's how it is. Alright then!"
Ye Qiu also reacted.
Although he didn't think Dugu Bo would be so tactless as to return so early, after all, when he helped him and Liu Erlong keep watch last time, he should have understood that he shouldn't be underestimated.
Ye Qiu opened the quilt.
He picked up Dugu Yan horizontally, about to return to the room.
A chill ran through her body, so exposed.
"Ah!"
Dugu Yan let out a delicate cry.
She covered her body with both hands, and her body turned pink.
"Husband~ put the quilt over me. I'm cold."
"Oh, okay!"
Ye Qiu chuckled and quickly kicked the quilt up, covering Dugu Yan.
Perhaps she was indeed cold, but more than that, she was shy.
After all, it was under the control of Ye Qiu's Sharingan that this beautiful snake was 'ridden out'.
Ye Qiu carried her towards the room.
Aside from his desire for Dugu Yan, he had nothing to be ashamed of.
"Husband~ where are you taking me?"
"To the bathroom, to clean up, so you can rest better."
Ye Qiu led Dugu Yan into the bathroom, leaving the quilt at the door so it wouldn't get wet.
...
In Soto City, just as Ye Qiu was spending a romantic night with Dugu Yan in the room, Ye Lingling had already found Ning Rongrong.
At the hotel where the Royal Fight Team was staying, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and Xiao Lan were sitting together in the living room, playing 'Fight the Landlord'.
Ning Rongrong, meanwhile, followed Ye Lingling to her room.
"Ye Lingling, is there something you need from Miss?" Ning Rongrong looked at her strangely.
Her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Nine Heart Seatang family didn't seem to have much interaction.
Ye Lingling was not one to beat around the bush, stating her purpose directly.
"Miss Ning, I came to you because I want to ask you about the evolution of your Spirit."
"Spirit evolution?!"
Ning Rongrong was stunned for a moment.
Thinking of the curse borne by the Nine Heart Seatang, she then felt relieved.
But she wasn't foolish; Ning Fengzhi had once said that if it weren't for the fact that only two people with the Nine Heart Sea棠 Spirit could exist at the same time, then the world's number one auxiliary Spirit would probably be the Nine Heart Sea Tang.
She was the Miss of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
How could she let such a thing happen?!
She raised an eyebrow and said indifferently, "Ye Lingling, isn't it inappropriate for you to ask me this question?"
"Why?"
Ye Lingling, who only wanted to lift the curse on her Spirit, clearly hadn't considered this question.
"Of course, it's because your Nine Heart Sea Tang Spirit is too strong."
Ning Rongrong pouted.
However, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda she now possessed was also very powerful!
Its wielder could even earn the title of God of Support.
"Too strong?!"
Ye Lingling was stunned for a moment.
Seeing the vigilance and wariness in Ning Rongrong's eyes, she suddenly understood.
The red lips beneath the black veil outlined a hint of bitterness.
She gave a wry smile and said, "Miss Ning, aren't you overestimating me?"
"How could we possibly shake the position of your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"
Ning Rongrong shook her head, saying coldly, "Ye Lingling, you don't need to belittle yourself. Not being able to shake it is only temporary."
"No Sect can remain strong forever."
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is also like that."
Although she liked to lose her temper in front of Ye Qiu and occasionally acted unreasonably, privately she was like a lovesick girl, finding various ways to serve Ye Qiu.
But her mind was very sharp.
As her words fell, Ye Lingling bit her red lips, her delicate fists clenched.
She didn't want to give up this tiny bit of hope that had appeared before her.
"Then what will it take for Miss Ning to tell me?" Her voice held a hint of pleading.
"Actually, it's not impossible to tell you..." Ning Rongrong sighed, thinking of a certain woman who might currently be pressed beneath Ye Qiu.
Her expression immediately turned ugly.
She probably wouldn't tell Ye Lingling now, but Dugu Yan would tell her anyway.
Under Ye Lingling's puzzled gaze, Ning Rongrong slowly recounted, "The reason my Spirit could evolve was all thanks to Ye Qiu."
"He gave me an Immortal Herb, which allowed my Spirit to evolve and my cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds."
"Ye Qiu! Immortal Herb?" Surprise flashed in Ye Lingling's eyes; she hadn't expected this to be related to Ye Qiu.
She immediately said anxiously, "Then, then does Ye Qiu still have Immortal Herbs? Our Ye family can pay any price!"
"You'll have to find that scoundrel yourself; I can't make that decision." Ning Rongrong pouted.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'm going back."
With that, Ning Rongrong walked out.
"Miss Ning, thank you!" Ye Lingling looked at her retreating figure and thanked her sincerely.
Click!
The door closed.
Ye Lingling's heart, however, became active.
She thought of the young man she first met on the streets of Heaven Dou City, who had instantly amazed her.
"Ye Qiu... can you really help me?" Ye Lingling murmured, sitting on the edge of the bed.
Her mind was again thinking about what price she should pay.
At this moment, Dugu Yan's invitation to share a husband echoed in her ears without her realizing it.
Her fair complexion beneath the black veil gradually turned crimson.
"Ye Lingling! You're shameless!" Cursing herself, Ye Lingling then flopped onto the bed.
...
Meanwhile, Qin Ming was hosting a banquet for the remaining Shrek members.
Yu Xiaogang and Yu Tianheng were not among them, as they were outside, performing a scene of family recognition.
Wishing everyone a pleasant life!
