In a hidden corner, two men stood.
Ye Qiu looked at Tai Long, who appeared somewhat dazed.
He was perfect as a test subject for one of his Fourth Soul Skills, Martial Sun Illuminating Life.
For the Strength Clan, betraying the Tang Clan father and son was absolutely impossible.
At this moment, Ye Qiu was pondering how to edit Tai Long's memory.
Although his Martial Sun Illuminating Life could view, delete, and edit memories, each person's memory was like a book with predetermined content.
The logical development sequence within it was already set, making it easy for one change to affect everything and reveal flaws.
Compared to deleting or viewing memories, editing the other party's memory in a way that prevents them from noticing anything strange or conflicting was the most difficult part.
"Forget it, I'll take a look first," Ye Qiu mused for a moment.
His right eye burst forth with a blood-red light; with such a vast difference in mental force, Tai Long was completely unable to resist or even perceive his own situation.
In Ye Qiu's eyes, Tai Long's memories were playing in reverse.
After only watching the past few days, Ye Qiu had made a decision: modify Tai Long's memory from last night.
Last night, Tai Tan himself went to his grandson's room to admonish Tai Long to protect Tang San well.
Ye Qiu only needed to add a few things to this command.
First, delete the parts that needed modification, then use illusion to generate the desired segment, and finally, seamlessly splice it on.
In this way, Ye Qiu also completed his first experience with Martial Sun Illuminating Life.
It truly consumed pupillary power (mental force).
Editing complete.
Ye Qiu then slightly refined Tai Long's current memory before sending him to the restroom, so that when he woke up, he would be in the act of pulling up his pants, and his memory of this period would be that he spent it in the restroom.
Looking at Tai Long's retreating figure, Ye Qiu also somewhat anticipated ambushing and killing Tang San this afternoon; he would be the second person to experience Martial Sun Illuminating Life!
He looked up at the sky; there was still plenty of time before dinner.
Divine Might activated, and Ye Qiu vanished from his original spot.
In this time, going to Moon Pavilion to listen to a tune or watch a dance with Moon Hua or Xue Ke would also be quite nice.
Of course, the most important thing was to conserve energy.
… In the restroom, Tai Long, who had just stood up and was pulling up his pants, paused.
"I knew I forgot something! Last night, Grandpa told me to invite the Young Master back to the mansion this afternoon; I almost forgot."
Tai Long quickly put on his pants and walked outside.
He was going to find Tang San.
Grandpa was right; those Xue Beng people were definitely not good, so he had to invite him back to the mansion and remind the Young Master to be more vigilant.
… At Life Lake, Ning Rongrong and the others were having a barbecue feast.
On the ground was a Ten Thousand Year mutated Spirit Beast, a Blazing Boar Beast, brought back by Er Ming from outside.
A Boar Beast that could grow to Ten Thousand Year could already be called a Boar King, but unfortunately, it encountered the Titan Giant Ape, who was out for a snack.
"Ah, Xiao Lan, tell Big Brother Er Ming to go slower!"
"Haha, Sister Jiang Zhu, don't be afraid, you won't fall down, and Xiao Lan can fly; if you really fall, Xiao Lan will save you, haha."
Jiang Zhu's scream, on the contrary, made Xiao Lan laugh even harder.
Xiao Lan and Jiang Zhu were sitting on a swing hanging from a giant tree.
Er Ming stood behind them, a humanized smile on his face, extending his index finger and gently pushing them.
Jiang Zhu was now full of regret.
If she had known, she would have gone to barbecue instead of playing with Xiao Lan, who had truly inherited the essence of a little devil.
Liu Erlong and the others had already grown accustomed to the two Spirit Beasts, Da Ming and Er Ming, within the Life Lake.
They were gathered around a charcoal pit, diligently grilling pork, beef, and other items.
"Xiao Wu, there's no need to grill this carrot, is there?"
Ning Rongrong looked at Xiao Wu putting a carrot on the grill and rolled her eyes at her.
Xiao Wu smiled brightly: "Hehe, just a change of pace once in a while."
Ning Rongrong was speechless and turned to look at the many Zhu Zhuqings, who were using Netherworld Shadow Clone to cut ingredients.
"Zhuqing, why are you throwing away those kidneys and things? Process them and take them back to that scoundrel to nourish him, lest he says that when seven cats attack him together, he gets a bit of back pain."
"Pfft, haha!"
Liu Erlong and Dugu Yan and the others burst into laughter upon hearing this, while also casting envious glances at Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing's hand movements paused; all seven Zhu Zhuqings had faces flushed with red, and they said in unison, "Rongrong, what nonsense are you talking about? When has Husband ever had back pain that didn't get better overnight?"
Zhu Zhuqing finished speaking bashfully.
Her six clones continued to speak.
"And no matter what, he's not the one who gets injured, is he? We clones can't hold on every time and just dissipate directly."
Before they could finish, Ning Rongrong slapped her thigh: "Aha, Zhuqing, you really have used your clones! You said you hadn't before."
"I… I only did it once, it was all his fault for insisting…"
Zhu Zhuqing turned her back in shame; the sight of herself fighting with Ye Qiu made her feel strange.
The girls looked at the seven Zhu Zhuqings with their wonderful expressions, and couldn't help but let out charming laughter.
Dugu Yan looked at Ye Lingling beside her.
"Lingling, the food is burnt."
"Ah? Oh, I… I wasn't paying attention."
Ye Lingling listened to them teasing each other, feeling shy, and at the same time, she couldn't help but think of other things.
Dugu Yan smiled slightly and teased, "Haha, you're distracted. Are you afraid Ye Qiu will stand you up?"
"Yan Zi, I am not!"
"Ah! Help me!"
Just as Ye Lingling was about to retort to Dugu Yan, a scream and cry for help suddenly came from the air.
"Sister Jiang Zhu…"
"Jiang Zhu!"
Liu Erlong looked up, her black pearl-like eyes trembling, only to see Jiang Zhu flying towards the fire pit.
Xiao Lan had already spread her wings and was chasing behind.
Whoosh!
Liu Erlong also immediately spread her Thunder Flame Dragon Wings, just as her wings began to flap.
A blue figure swept past, and Jiang Zhu disappeared from her original spot.
"Brother…"
"Husband."
"Ah! Help, ah!"
Jiang Zhu's cries for help drowned out the voices of the other girls.
Ye Qiu looked at Jiang Zhu, who was flailing with her eyes closed in his arms, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Jiang Zhu, it's alright now."
He patted her back, injecting a stream of spirit power, applying both Life Without End and Blue Silver Fragrance simultaneously.
Jiang Zhu quieted down.
She still kept her eyes tightly closed, her body trembling slightly, and she reached out to grab Ye Qiu's body twice, feeling the warm touch.
Only then did she realize she had been caught.
Her pink short hair was somewhat messy and plastered to her face, and her delicate face was a bit pale.
Jiang Zhu slowly opened her eyes.
What met her gaze were a pair of azure blue eyes, followed by eyebrows, a nose… Ye Qiu's handsome face.
And she was truly wrapped around his body like an octopus.
This was Teacher's man!
"Jiang Zhu, how are you? Are you alright?"
A bit of warm breath brushed her eyelids, and her originally pale face immediately turned crimson.
"Ah, I… I'm fine, thank you, Ye Qiu."
Jiang Zhu nervously let go of Ye Qiu.
This was very different from her usual obedient and understanding sisterly demeanor.
"It's good that you're fine." Ye Qiu chuckled, put her down, then looked up at Xiao Lan in the sky: "Next time you play, put the swing lower."
"It's not Xiao Lan Meimei's fault, I just didn't hold on myself."
Jiang Zhu explained from the side.
"No matter what, it's always safer to put it lower."
"Xiao Lan understands, Brother."
Xiao Lan landed, kissed Ye Qiu, then threw herself into Jiang Zhu's arms.
"Husband, do you want to eat some grilled meat before you go?" Liu Erlong came over with a piece of grilled beef and offered it to Ye Qiu.
She knew Ye Qiu had come back to pick up Ye Lingling.
"No need, you all eat more. Aunt Ye should have everything ready by now."
Ye Qiu shook his head.
He turned to Ye Lingling and extended his hand: "Lingling, let's go, don't keep Aunt Ye waiting too long."
"Mm."
Ye Lingling quickly stood up and placed her hand in Ye Qiu's palm.
Ning Rongrong pointed at the Ten Thousand Year kidney lying on the ground and shouted at Ye Qiu.
"Ye Qiu, you must come over for dinner tonight. We'll stew you big kidneys and stir-fry golden tuna…"
"Uh, I don't need that."
Ye Qiu's face darkened; he was strong and robust, alright?
"Let's go!"
He gave the giggling girls a glare and left the place with a blushing Ye Lingling.
Wishing everyone a pleasant life!
