"Okay."
Ye Qiu didn't refuse Little Blue's request.
"Great!"
Little Blue cheered, jumping up and down like an octopus, and even biting Ye Qiu's ear.
"Hmph, since you moved here, brother has been spending every night at the sisters' places. Little Blue hasn't had a chance to rest with brother in a long time."
"Haha, that's definitely my fault. I'll spend more time with you in the future."
Ye Qiu smiled helplessly.
He alone wasn't enough, and the girls weren't too happy to have Little Blue, who couldn't do anything, added to the existing order.
Ye Qiu did want to gather the girls he was closer to together, which would shorten their waiting time.
However, this undoubtedly drew a collective protest from the girls.
Ye Qiu was actually quite interested in trying this sisterly affection show, but they disagreed, and he respected their decision.
"Okay, I promise you, I'll try my best to spend time with you during lunch break from now on, even if it's just to chat."
"Really? Don't lie to Xiao Lan."
"Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?"
Ye Qiu gently patted Xiao Lan's thin back.
He reached out and lifted the blanket, first putting Xiao Lan inside, and then he was about to unbutton his own coat.
"Brother, Xiao Lan will help you... hee hee."
Xiao Lan giggled as she took off Ye Qiu's coat and casually tossed it aside.
Ye Qiu's lips twitched:
"Can't you put things away properly? And your room is such a mess."
"I know, I know, Xiao Lan will change. Next time you come in, it'll definitely be different!"
Xiao Lan quickly muttered a few words, then immediately pulled Ye Qiu over and made him lie down.
"I'll remember that. If you don't satisfy me, I'll hit you on the head next time."
"Mhm. Xiao Lan remembers too."
Ye Qiu smiled and hugged the eager Xiao Lan in his arms, covering her with the blanket.
It felt very different from before, slowly changing back to the 'Big Blue' she used to be.
Little Blue nestled her head gently in Ye Qiu's arms, then reached out and hooked her arm around Ye Qiu's neck, biting it twice.
Ye Qiu watched her pout and gently tapped her lips twice in response.
Then he gently patted her back, coaxing her to sleep.
Little Blue lay quietly, her body fragrance bringing peace and comfort.
Time passed slowly.
Her azure eyes, unseen by Ye Qiu, darted around.
She slowly sank into the blankets.
After asking her best friend, Sister Rongrong, for recipes,
she often asked Xiao Wu for carrots and frequently asked the other sisters to buy her candied hawthorns. Sister Rongrong herself said she was quite good at eating them.
Ye Qiu, who was gradually falling asleep, suddenly opened his eyes, but she was already deeply immersed in the dream and couldn't move.
Where did this little girl learn all this?!
Hiss!
Ye Qiu suddenly gasped.
This time, he truly couldn't hold back anymore. Even Ning Rongrong and the others had never experienced such a dramatic reversal.
Xiao Lan's attribute power was unparalleled.
But
was the Ice and Fire Dragon King's power meant for Xiao Lan to use like this?
If they knew, wouldn't they come back to life and burn or freeze Ye Qiu's belongings into ice shards?!
...
Five days later.
News also arrived from Ning Fengzhi's side.
Ye Qiu, as usual, finished breakfast and headed to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School with Dugu Bo.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
This time, Sword Douluo accompanied Ning Fengzhi.
"Uncle Ning, good morning, Seniors Sword and Bone."
"Kid, I didn't expect you to be so well-hidden. You're really quite low-key!" Sword Douluo suddenly appeared in front of Ye Qiu, scrutinizing him from head to toe in amazement.
If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have refused when Ye Qiu offered to provide more soul bones to help him break through to level 97. Who knew this kid could actually buy soul bones in bulk? Incredible! Ye Qiu said helplessly, "Senior Sword, the tallest tree in the forest catches the most wind. I didn't have any backing before." "Haha. It's not too late to know now!" "Don't worry, if anyone dares to touch you in the future, they'll have to ask the sword in my hand first!" Sword Douluo's sharp edge was fully revealed. His expectations for Ye Qiu had risen again. Regarding the ethereal deity Ye Qiu spoke of, he felt that if such a deity truly existed, then Ye Qiu was definitely the most promising candidate. His high regard for Ye Qiu also reflected the attitude of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. "Senior Sword, you flatter me." Ye Qiu was moved, understanding that this was a promise from Sword Douluo to a junior, even if there was a conflict of interest involved. It was unavoidable. "Alright, Sword Man, stop with the sentimentality. Ye Qiu is going to seduce someone's granddaughter later. If you could learn even a move or two, maybe you could get a taste of youthful beauty and leave a legacy for your Seven Kill Sword." "Haha." Bone Douluo suddenly burst into laughter. Ning Fengzhi and Dugu Bo also watched Ye Qiu with great interest. "Old Bone, are you itching for a fight again? What do you mean by 'old cow eating young grass'? Do you even listen to human language?" Sword Douluo's face darkened. He had no right to ask him to woo a delicate young girl. "Haha. Alright, Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, let's get down to business." Ning Fengzhi timely interrupted their argument. Then, turning to Ye Qiu, he said, "Ye Qiu, I'll have to trouble you when you come back this time." "Uncle Ning, don't worry. I'm already busy with my affairs, there's no trouble at all." Ye Qiu smiled slightly and nodded. "Alright, then I'll take you there now." As soon as Bone Douluo finished speaking, a huge bone dragon appeared. With a sweep of its tail, it opened a spatial teleportation portal in an empty space. Ning Fengzhi and the other three stepped forward and walked inside. "By the way, Uncle Ning, what's the news from Avalanche, the Power Clan, and the Royal Fighting Clan?" "Nothing else, just that the Royal Fighting Clan has been reorganized. Yu Tianheng has returned, and Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun from Shrek Academy have joined." Ning Fengzhi said calmly. He had sent people to keep an eye on those places. So far, he hadn't found anything amiss, and the Power Clan hadn't made any moves to contact the other three clans. "I see." Ye Qiu nodded slightly. He had expected Dai Mubai and the others to join the team. The Min clan's territory was reached in an instant. ... The Min clan's territory was much smaller than the Po clan's. Their mansion wasn't grand; in fact, it looked rather dilapidated, as if it had been neglected for years. The plaque above the mansion's gate was shaped like a large swallow with outstretched wings, and on the swallow's belly was an old character, "Min." The entrance to the mansion was rather desolate. At this moment, more than ten figures were waiting at the gate. (End of Chapter)
