Ye Qiu's Soul Palace.
It wasn't far from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Standing atop the sect's pagoda, one could see the Soul Palace's architecture in the distance.
Currently, only enough space for the three clans and others to move around had been built; the surrounding area had been fenced off for gradual development.
Following the design of the Yu Clan,
the Soul Palace's architecture was mostly grand and imposing, solid and heavy, requiring extremely high defensive capabilities.
With the metal supply from Gengjin City,
Niu Gao and his group even sandwiched several layers of steel plates between the doors of each room.
Ye Qiu didn't understand these things; he was just a hands-off manager.
Ning Fengzhi had visited the Soul Palace more often than him, and even Qian Renxue had been there several times.
After all, the land was acquired largely thanks to her status as the Crown Prince.
Moreover, Ye Qiu had never hidden anything about the construction of the Soul Palace from Qian Renxue.
"Palace Master, your soul skills are truly amazing! What should have taken a month or two to complete the migration was finished in just one morning with you here."
Niu Gao looked at Ye Qiu sitting in the main seat, filled with admiration, and no longer doubted what Bai He had told him.
The more time he spent with Ye Qiu, the more he sensed his mystery and power.
Ye Qiu shook his head slightly and chuckled.
"Palace Master Niu Gao also deserves credit. If it weren't for your tireless efforts in building it day and night, even if I had this ability, I wouldn't have had a place to use it."
"This is what I should do, nothing to boast about. This Soul Palace is also our future home."
Niu Gao quickly waved his hand, not daring to take credit.
Bai He blew his beard.
"You old rhinoceros still know how to talk."
Yang Wudi also smiled, it was a blessing to be able to gather with these old friends.
But, thinking of the Power Clan, he couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
"Alright, Old White Crane, let's get down to business with the Palace Master."
"Business?"
Ye Qiu looked at the three of them strangely.
White Crane's smile vanished, replaced by a serious expression.
"Palace Master, in two days it will be the gathering of our four single-attribute races, and the location for this gathering will be our Min Clan."
"Oh?"
Ye Qiu paused, exchanging a glance with Ning Fengzhi beside him.
White Crane had barely finished speaking
when Yang Wudi immediately chimed in.
"Palace Master, what I mean is, if that old gorilla dares to bring that brat Tang San here, I'll nail him to death on the spot with my Soul-Breaking Spear!"
The Yu Clan was building the Soul Palace, the Min Clan was negotiating with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and only their Po Clan had nothing to do yet, which made Yang Wudi feel a little guilty.
Ye Qiu looked at Yang Wudi with some oddities.
He hadn't expected Yang Wudi to be so brave, thinking of killing Tang San.
"Ahem, Hall Master Yang, this can't be rushed."
Ye Qiu then explained to them that the Evil Blood Clan seemed to possess similar spatial abilities.
Ning Fengzhi speculated that
the method of obtaining the evil blood likely originated from the Grand Elder Demon of the Star Luo Empire.
However, no one knew how many times he could use it.
After hearing Ye Qiu's explanation, Yang Wudi's expression became both solemn and embarrassed.
"Then, Palace Master, should we still hold this gathering?"
Bai He asked Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu pondered for a moment.
"Let's still hold it, but we can change the location to Tian Dou City. I'll take you all there to avoid any unexpected situations."
"Okay, then I'll go to Tian Dou City to make the arrangements later."
Bai He nodded seriously.
He exchanged a glance with Yang Wudi and Niu Gao.
This was also an opportunity to distance himself from the old gorilla.
Finally,
Ye Qiu instructed Niu Gao,
"By the way, Hall Master Niu Gao, you'll also have to trouble you with the forging workshops of Hall Master Lou Gao and the others."
"Don't worry, our Yu Clan is very experienced in this area. I guarantee the blacksmiths will be satisfied."
Niu Gao patted his chest, full of confidence.
Ye Qiu also made arrangements for the Po Clan, instructing Yang Wudi to send people to oversee the area around Lan Ba Academy, and also dispatching two female clansmen to be stationed by Xue Ke's side.
Afterwards, Ye Qiu and Ning Fengzhi left the Soul Palace, which was not yet fully completed.
...
Night. After
Ye Qiu and the women finished dinner, they went to Zhu Zhuqing's room.
"Husband~ you, didn't you just come here yesterday?"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ye Qiu, who followed her into the room, somewhat nervous and weak.
She recalled yesterday.
She had already rejected him, but the moment she saw his eyes, she couldn't resist the temptation and agreed to his conditions.
She even created a clone to play a game of roulette with him, guessing which of the seven chambers had bullets!
She guessed wrong every time, and all seven chambers of the revolver exploded six times in a row, leaving only one chamber. Only then did he give up.
If Ning Rongrong and the others knew, they would laugh at her again.
Ye Qiu chuckled, reaching out to hold Zhu Zhuqing's soft hand and pulling her into his arms.
"Zhuqing, I'm here to take you back to the Star Luo Empire, not to do anything bad."
"Back to the Star Luo Empire? Sister?"
Zhu Zhuqing was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood.
She also remembered Ye Qiu telling her about Zhu Zhuyun tricking him and seducing him.
"Yes, you should handle things with Sister Zhuyun." Ye Qiu pulled Zhu Zhuqing onto the bed, lay down, and embraced her delicate body, burying his face in his chest.
"Mm."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly.
She had already considered this matter, but hadn't made a decision yet. In the end, it still depended on Zhu Zhuyun's situation.
She didn't want to live a life of constant vigilance. Prevention was better than cure.
Zhu Zhuqing, suddenly regaining her senses, blushed deeply. The heat radiating from him made her feel incredibly shy.
"Husband...didn't you say you weren't here to bully me?"
Zhu Zhuqing held Ye Qiu's head, tilting her head back slightly, her face shy, her eyes watery, revealing her snow-white neck, letting him kiss her until their lips met.
The kiss ended.
Only then did Ye Qiu release Zhu Zhuqing.
"It's still early, isn't it? If we go too early, I'm afraid your sister won't be in that secret room yet." Zhu Zhuqing
, her face flushed, nestled lazily in Ye Qiu's arms, gently biting his chin.
She said reproachfully,
"That's just an excuse for you to do something bad."
"Haha...you're really wronging me." Ye Qiu chuckled softly. He held Zhu Zhuqing for a while, until the moon was high in the sky, before leading her to Zhu Zhuyun's secret room. However, their timing was rather inopportune. The moment they appeared, they heard a splash. Turning his head, Ye Qiu's Sharingan blurred. He didn't know when two large, bright lamps had appeared in the secret room, somewhat blindingly so. (End of Chapter)
