With a flap of Ye Qiu's wings,
his speed increased dramatically.
The red cloth at the summit was already in Ye Qiu's hands.
Hearing the exclamations behind him, Ye Qiu swooped down without stopping.
He really hadn't meant to do it
; he hadn't expected that a simple flap of his wings would cause Bai Chenxiang to lose her balance. Fortunately,
nothing serious happened.
At this moment,
Bai Chenxiang, in pain, was falling downwards.
As she cried out, a cluster of blue silver emperor flowers suddenly sprouted from the steep rock face, gently scooping her up.
Immediately,
Bai Chenxiang felt a warmth.
Ye Qiu's face came into view, and she was already lying in Ye Qiu's arms.
Holding Bai Chenxiang horizontally, her body was very light. Although her face was a little pale and scratched by branches, it was still beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
Ye Qiu didn't rush back. Floating in the air, he looked down and softly asked, "Miss Bai, are you alright?"
"I...I'm fine."
Bai Chenxiang's pale face suddenly flushed, and she dared not look into Ye Qiu's eyes.
Now, the scene she had imagined had become reality.
She dared not move at all, her breathing became heavy, and she clenched her delicate fists tightly, burying her head in Ye Qiu's arms.
She murmured softly,
"You...you should let me go. I...I'm really alright."
"Your face and body are covered in wounds, how can you call that alright? Let me heal you first."
Ye Qiu's conscience was pricked, so he shut down his evil Sharingan, flapped his Blue Silver Holy Wings behind him, and flew slowly back to the starting point.
At the same time, he used Life Force and Blue Silver Fragrance to heal Bai Chenxiang's wounds.
Warm soul power enveloped Bai Chenxiang, and her delicate body trembled slightly as she gritted her teeth to avoid letting out a soft cry.
Ye Qiu looked apologetically at the blushing Bai Chenxiang.
Bai Chenxiang was overcome with shyness.
She stammered,
"You...you're not allowed to look at me!"
"Alright."
Ye Qiu smiled and carried her slowly forward.
Under Ye Qiu's treatment,
Bai Chenxiang's wounds quickly disappeared, completely healed.
During this time,
Bai Chenxiang didn't let Ye Qiu put her down again. After recovering considerably, she secretly admired Ye Qiu's
high, straight nose, soft features, and bright, azure eyes, like the sky she roamed. A gentle breeze ruffled her hair, and her face still held a hint of contemplation.
This made Bai Chenxiang curious, wanting to know what Ye Qiu was thinking and wanting to share his burdens
. Thinking of this, she secretly cursed herself
for being shameless, thinking so much on their first meeting.
"Miss Bai, how are you feeling? Is your body still in pain?"
Ye Qiu pulled his wandering thoughts back. Since
he had already made his move on Bai Chenxiang, he had to see it through. Since he had flirted with her, he had to marry her and treat her well.
Looking into Ye Qiu's gentle gaze, Bai Chenxiang unconsciously shrank into his arms.
"No, it doesn't hurt anymore,"
she stammered, then lowered her eyes, avoiding Ye Qiu's gaze.
Ye Qiu smiled helplessly: "Seriously, is winning or losing that important? Your face is all smeared."
"Hmph! Of course it's important!"
"It's a speed contest, the pride of our Agile Clan."
Bai Chenxiang gave a soft, sweet laugh.
She reached out and cupped her pretty face, as if afraid of leaving marks.
"Hmm, I understand."
Looking at Bai Chenxiang, so different from when they first met, even somewhat adorable, Ye Qiu couldn't help but smile.
"So that's why you had to win. I thought you just didn't want to stay by my side."
"I didn't!"
Bai Chenxiang was about to explain when she realized her mistake, her face flushing red again, and she stammered.
"Ah, no, no, I...I...it doesn't matter anymore."
"Anyway, I've lost now, and I'll keep my promise and stay by your side."

Bai Chenxiang gritted her teeth
, vaguely and evasuring Ye Qiu's question with weak arguments.
"You...you put me down quickly, I can fly by myself."
"But...we're already here."
"What?! Already here?! How could it be so fast?!"
Bai Chenxiang only then realized.
Ye Qiu had been holding her for so long, and they were about to land.
"You...why didn't you tell me sooner?"
Bai Chenxiang buried her face in Ye Qiu's arms, too ashamed to face anyone, especially with several of her clansmen watching.
"You didn't say anything either,"
Ye Qiu chuckled gently, landing steadily.
"Haha...Ye Qiu, it seems the outcome is already decided."
Ning Fengzhi winked at Ye Qiu,
his admiration unwavering.
His ability to seduce women was simply too strong, it was effortless!
Even if his cultivation talent wasn't great
, someone like him would still be a talent!
Ye Qiu smiled slightly: "Uncle Ning, I just won by luck."
"Don't give me that nonsense, kid. Where did you get so much luck from?"
Sword Douluo glared at Ye Qiu, annoyed.
"Hehehe."
"That's right, strength is strength."
Dugu Bo also let out his guardian-level laughter again.
Bai He looked at Bai Chenxiang nestled in Ye Qiu's arms.
His feelings were somewhat complicated.
"Xiangxiang, hurry up and get off the Palace Master, what kind of behavior is this!"
"Grandpa, I... Humph!"
Bai Chenxiang snorted coldly.
She quickly jumped off Ye Qiu's arms and ran to Bai He's side, hiding behind him, too ashamed to be seen.
"Haha."
Bai He chuckled twice, looking at Ye Qiu with respect and admiration.
"Palace Master's talent is truly rare. Even the speed that my Min Clan is so proud of can't match yours."
"Uh, Hall Master Bai, you're exaggerating a bit. I just relied on my high cultivation and special soul skills."
Ye Qiu smiled awkwardly.
If it weren't for the Divine Might that allowed him to take a shortcut, he really would have lost.
Bai Chenxiang peeked out from behind Bai He and snorted coldly, "Hmph, a win is a win. I'm a man of my word."
She then shrank back inside.
This contrast caused Ning Fengzhi and the others to burst into laughter.
"Xiangxiang, don't be rude to the Palace Master! You can't throw tantrums when you're with the Palace Master."
Bai He frowned and glared at her.
"Understood, Grandpa."
Bai Chenxiang glanced at Ye Qiu and nodded slightly.
Bai He nodded in satisfaction and gestured for
them to return to the main hall. "Palace Master, Your Majesty, Sect Master Ning, let's go back to the main hall."
"Alright, let's leave this place to the younger generation."
Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly, glancing at the members of the Min Clan around him; there were quite a few promising talents.
The competition ended.
Everyone planned to return to the main hall to continue discussing the next steps.
Bai Chenxiang intentionally or unintentionally moved closer to Ye Qiu.
Seeing this, Bai He and the others tacitly refrained from disturbing her.
