When Ye Qiu returned to Blue Tyrant Academy,
Ning Rongrong and the other girls were sparring in the training ground.
Liu Erlong was facing off against Xiao Wu and the other eight girls alone.
Ye Qiu had just appeared
when he saw Ning Rongrong being lifted up by Liu Erlong, who had unfurled her Thunderflame Dragon Wings,
and thrown from the sky.
"Ah! Xiao Lan, Xiang Xiang... catch me, catch me! Sister Erlong... I hate you!"
Ning Rongrong cried out, her eyes closed, flailing her arms and legs, the cool breeze on her cheeks making her face pale.
"Brother's back!"
Xiao Lan's joyful voice
made the girls pause.
Even Bai Chenxiang, who was about to rescue Ning Rongrong, stopped.
Ning Rongrong opened her eyes
, her face deathly pale as she looked at the approaching ground.
"Ah, Ye Qiu! Catch me!"
*Whoosh!*
Bloodlust filled his eyes, and the Cloth Blade Jade Life was activated.
Activating his body's potential and maximizing his efficiency, a few bolts of lightning crackled across his body.
He instantly appeared beneath Ning Rongrong.
Using a technique of capturing dragons and controlling cranes, he dissipated the force and steadily held Ning Rongrong in his arms.
"Alright, Rongrong, it's alright now."
Looking at Ning Rongrong, who was still shouting, Ye Qiu gently comforted her.
"Ah, you scared me to death!"
Ning Rongrong's eyes were still filled with tears as she huddled in Ye Qiu's arms, her pretty face a little pale.
"I said... can you guys concentrate a little more during training?"
Ye Qiu gave the women a helpless glare.
Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Yan, and the other women looked sullen and dared not meet Ye Qiu's gaze.
"Xiao Qiu~"
Xiao Wu looked at Ye Qiu expectantly, her crimson eyes filled with pleading.
"I'm sorry, husband... it's all my fault for playing too much."
Liu Erlong flew down from the air, her face full of apology.
Xiao Lan followed closely behind. "Brother, it's all Xiao Lan's fault... Xiao Lan shouted nonsense."
"Alright, alright, I was also wrong, I came back at the wrong time."
Ye Qiu didn't hold it against her.
It was Ning Rongrong who started to hold a grudge against him first.
"Hmph! You finally decided to come back, you brat!"
Ning Rongrong didn't take the earlier incident to heart. In her opinion, it was Ye Qiu's sudden appearance that interrupted Xiao Lan and the others' actions.
Ye Qiu smiled teasingly.
"Of course I had to come back, otherwise you guys would have missed me terribly."
"Hmph! Shameless!"
Ning Rongrong snorted coldly, clinging to Ye Qiu's arms and refusing to get down.
Ye Qiu let her be.
"By the way, Lingling and Jiangzhu have broken through to level 40, right? How about we head to the Star Dou Great Forest now?"
"No problem, whatever you say."
Ye Lingling nodded quickly.
Jiangzhu did the same.
"Then let's go. This afternoon's training will be changed to hunting two soul beasts over 35,000 years old."
Ye Qiu nodded slightly.
Liu Erlong and the other girls quickly gathered around Ye Qiu. With a surge of divine power, Ye Qiu and the others disappeared from their original spot.
They arrived at the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest.
For Ye Lingling, the choice of spirit beast wasn't too particular, since her spirit skill only provided area-of-effect healing to the entire party. As
long as the age was suitable, it would be fine.
As for Jiang Zhu,
her spirit beast was a healing scepter, so she would need to put more thought into it.
Soon,
under Ye Qiu's Sharingan's assessment, a Green Wood Spirit Ape of about 35,000 years was selected
as Ye Lingling's fourth spirit ring.

The Green Wood Spirit Ape was considered one of the gentler types of spirit beasts. With Zhu Zhuqing and the others attacking it, they quickly captured it and stored it in their Divine Might Space.
Jiang Zhu's fourth spirit ring, however, wasn't found until the next day.
It was from an aquatic spirit beast,
the 35,000-year-old Azure Water Dragon Salamander. Its body possessed immense vitality; under suitable conditions, even if half its body was severed, it could regenerate completely.
This spirit beast took considerable effort.
It was only through Xiao Lan's relentless bombardment that it was forced to the shore, allowing Zhu Zhuqing and the others to attack. Ye Qiu didn't share his strength
with Jiang Zhu and Ye Lingling , as they hadn't consumed any immortal herbs. Having more cultivation would save them a lot of effort. After absorbing their spirit rings, both Ye Lingling and Jiang Zhu had broken through to level 44. "That's great, Ye Qiu! Thank you!" Jiang Zhu opened her eyes in surprise and, unusually, got up to kiss Ye Qiu on the cheek. Overjoyed, Jiangzhu hugged Ye Qiu. Even Ye Lingling was a step behind. "We're all family, no need to be so polite," Ye Qiu chuckled, patting her back. Hearing Ye Qiu's words, Jiangzhu blushed, a blush that complemented her pink hair. Her eyes caught sight of Liu Erlong and the others around her. She immediately realized what was happening and jumped out of Ye Qiu's arms as if startled. She bowed to Ye Qiu apologetically. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was too excited just now." "Jiangzhu, you didn't need to do that," Ye Qiu said, both amused and exasperated. "Alright, Jiangzhu, everyone knows... if you keep going like this, you'll make us all uncomfortable," Liu Erlong chuckled, helping Jiangzhu up. "Dean," Jiangzhu looked at Liu Erlong guiltily. Liu Erlong smiled and gave Jiangzhu an encouraging, reassuring look. They had all lived together for so long that everyone knew Jiangzhu's little secret. Therefore, no one cared about the light kiss. As for whether or not they would accept it... That depends on Ye Qiu himself. After all, if they've figured it out, Ye Qiu must have known it long ago too. But judging from his expression just now, Ye Qiu doesn't seem to be resistant. Ning Rongrong and the others are the same; they've gotten used to Jiang Zhu's presence. "Sister Jiang Zhu, let Xiao Lan see your soul skill!" Xiao Lan jumped in front of Jiang Zhu, calling her affectionately. "Hmm." Jiang Zhu nodded slightly. She raised the healing staff in her hand, and four soul rings—two yellow, one purple, and one black—shone from her feet. The fourth soul ring lit up, and several energy balls suddenly shot out from the healing staff, entering the bodies of Ye Qiu, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, Xiao Lan, and Liu Erlong. Ye Qiu frowned. There was actually a ball of healing soul power inside his body. "My fourth soul skill is called Holy Healing Possession. It can provide continuous healing to teammates until that ball of soul power is exhausted. I control the distribution of the soul power myself," Jiang Zhu said softly, her eyes filled with joy. "This soul skill is amazing! It means I can even use healing soul skills beforehand during battle, allowing my teammates to receive healing during combat." Liu Erlong's eyes lit up. No wonder it was obtained through the sacrifice of a soul beast over 30,000 years old; the soul skill it received is indeed powerful. "This soul skill is indeed very powerful. Sometimes when fighting deep behind enemy lines, I don't have to worry too much about getting injured or delayed treatment." Ye Qiu, holding Ye Lingling, nodded in satisfaction. "However, Jiangzhu, let's take another look at your soul bone." Ye Qiu chuckled, holding a piece of torso bone in his hand, its entire body a vibrant green, containing powerful life force. "What a beautiful soul bone!" Dugu Yan looked at the soul bone in Ye Qiu's hand, her eyes shining with admiration. (End of Chapter)
