A pale dawn broke on the horizon.
The city gates of Heaven Dou City gradually became lively.
Every now and then, people cast curious and disdainful glances at the group of people in the corner.
Tang San and the others endured the humiliation
until dawn.
...
Biyou Village.
Ye Qiu hadn't slept a wink all night.
The allure of the big cat was simply too great.
Unlike Liu Erlong,
who was enthusiastic, proactive, and occasionally took the lead,
Zhu Zhuqing was shy, naive, and coy.
And with such superior physical attributes, Ye Qiu simply couldn't resist.
Aside from the combat experience he learned from Liu Erlong,
he almost made Zhu Zhuqing unleash her external soul bone, the Shadow Spider Spear,
hanging from the ceiling,
to try out a new fusion technique.
Ye Qiu held the beauty curled up in his arms.
Even the large quilt couldn't conceal the ripples of her skin, a delicate, fair complexion tinged with pink, radiant with a captivating glow.
Zhu Zhuqing, at this moment
, had a flushed face and slightly furrowed brows.
Her alluring expression was a mixture of pain and pleasure, difficult to decipher.
Tears clung to the corners of her eyes, her brows hinted at a tender allure, and a sweet, contented smile played on her lips.
She rested quietly on Ye Qiu's arm.
Ye Qiu turned to her side, gently stroking her waist, and reached out to tidy a stray strand of hair behind her ear.
His fingertips barely touched her flushed face
when Zhu Zhuqing sensed it.
Her eyelashes fluttered, and she opened her eyes to see Ye Qiu.
Her delicate body trembled, her pretty face blossoming like a peach blossom, her earlobes glistening with desire.
"Awake,"
Ye Qiu's voice was gentle, his azure eyes fixed on her, his warm palm glowing with a green light as he gently stroked her body, easing her fatigue.
"Mmm."
Zhu Zhuqing blushed.
Her lips parted slightly, her eyes, brimming with tenderness and affection, yet also tinged with fear.
Ye Qiu's inexhaustible vitality was like a walking power bank.
On the battlefield, his power was no less than Ye Lingling's Nine-Hearted Begonia; with him around, even death was difficult.
Afterwards, despite being exhausted and in pain, his treatment forcibly brought back
the memories of last night.
Just recalling them made Zhu Zhuqing's heart race; she felt a mixture of love and fear towards Ye Qiu.
"I'm sorry, my charming big cat."
Ye Qiu smiled apologetically, gently stroking her still somewhat tired face, and leaned forward to kiss her red lips.
Zhu Zhuqing tilted her head slightly, savoring the moment.
"N-nothing."
Her voice was soft and weak, her eyes gentle as water.
Her flushed face deepened, her pink body wriggling, half of her leaning against Ye Qiu.
Two soft hands gently caressed Ye Qiu's chest.
A lingering warmth in her voice as she softly called to him,
"Husband~ perhaps we should get up?"
Her injuries had long since been healed by Ye Qiu; only her mind remained slightly hazy.
"No rush, let's rest a little longer."
Ye Qiu smoothed her hair.
Then, he embraced her smooth waist, pulling her soft, magnificent body into his arms.
They switched places.
Ye Qiu buried his head in Zhu Zhuqing's embrace, inhaling her fragrance, and closed his eyes to rest.
Zhu Zhuqing's face was flushed.
She gently held Ye Qiu's head, inhaling his scent.
A slightly tipsy smile graced her face.
She was very happy that Ye Qiu liked her so much.
The warmth of his breath on her body
made her feel intoxicated and very comfortable.

As dawn broke,
Tang San and his companions finally entered Heaven Dou City. Everyone
's faces bore the marks of travel fatigue, some looking weary and worn.
Even inside the city,
the bustling crowds and prosperity failed to ignite any real interest.
Qin Ming, however, was in relatively good spirits and suggested, "Dean, let's find a place to stay first. Going to Blue Tyrant Academy right now might not be a good idea."
Flander, his eyes bloodshot, gazed at the high sun, seemingly lost in thought.
Composing himself, he said hoarsely, "Yes, we definitely need to get ready first. Everyone must be hungry and exhausted."
"Once we find a place to stay, we'll have a good meal, then rest well before heading to Blue Tyrant Academy tomorrow."
"Let's do as you say," came Yu Xiaogang's weak voice. He had been sitting cross-legged for too long; his legs were numb. He
now needed Tang San and Yu Tianheng to support him to walk.
Afterwards,
the Shrek Seven Devils went to a suitable inn.
In the Heavenly Dou Imperial City, every inch of land is incredibly valuable, and they didn't have much money to spare, so they had to find a good place to stay.
...
Avalanche's residence.
Inside the study.
Hunfeng was talking to Avalanche.
"Where did you take Mo Wuchang last night?"
Hunfeng sat in the main seat.
At this moment, he was far from refined and scholarly; his academic robes were wrinkled, his hair was disheveled, his face was pale and bloodless, and his eyes were bloodshot.
He seemed to have suffered inhuman torment.
"Teacher, I took His Majesty to the academy..."
Avalanche didn't hide anything about his reliance and truthfully explained.
He also revealed his entire plan.
"Foolish!"
Hunfeng cursed angrily after hearing Avalanche's plan.
He didn't pay much attention to the Shrek Seven Devils who had been forced to leave, but instead lectured them:
"Even if you cultivate a strong team, won't Xue Ye become suspicious? What makes you think they can improve their cultivation so rapidly?"
"You're ruining the future of Soul Masters like this. If word gets out, who will serve the royal family in the future?!"
"This will only make Xue Ye look down on you even more!"
After Hun Feng's words,
Xue Beng realized that he had indeed been too eager for quick results.
He bowed and said, "Teacher is right, I am foolish."
"Alright, you can go now. I need to rest for a while." Hun Feng waved his hand weakly, dismissing Xue Beng.
"Then teacher, please rest well. I will take my leave."
Click.
After Xue Beng left
, Mo Wuchang, who had been standing ramrod straight to the side, squinted.
"Hun Feng, your Martial Soul has started devouring its master again?"
"Isn't it obvious!" Hun Feng looked dejected, his eyes filled with deep fear.
"I only hope Your Majesty can find a suitable candidate as soon as possible so he can grow up quickly."
"Otherwise, I'll be doomed!"
Mo Wuchang comforted him, "Don't worry, I heard from His Majesty the Demon that their Star Luo Empire has found a suitable successor, and the assessment should begin soon."
Hearing this, Hun Feng's panic subsided slightly.
He smiled bitterly.
"I hope I can hold on until he becomes a god."
Hun Feng's demands were few.
He couldn't bear to leave this world; he just wanted to live, in any form, by any means—as long as he lived!
The Soul-Devouring Beast Martial Soul.
It feeds on souls, granting Soul Masters powerful and bizarre abilities, but also suffering a curse.
When the Soul-Devouring Beast becomes stronger than the Soul Master's soul, it will devour the Soul Master's soul.
From then on, it detaches from the Soul Master's mortal body and wreaks havoc on the world.
