"Hmm, Xue'er."
Ye Qiu responded softly, hooking his arm around her strong, soft legs, and carrying her towards the gate of Soto City.
Qian Renxue, carrying Ye Qiu, smiled sweetly, then frowned.
"Why did you bring me here?"
She remembered.
Ye Qiu had several women, all found in this place called Soto City.
"If Xue'er isn't satisfied, we can go somewhere else."
Ye Qiu didn't think much of it; he just felt this city was more familiar.
The Soul Palace he established.
While the Min Clan was gathering intelligence, they would also illuminate coordinates around the world for Ye Qiu.
Using the Heavenly Harvest Sun Destiny, they would store the Outer Divine Might in the eyes of the Min Clan members.
Whenever they reached an important hub or location, they would activate it autonomously.
Of course,
sometimes they would also use it to defend against enemies when they encountered danger.
Now, there are many places in the entire Heaven Dou Empire that Ye Qiu can reach in a few breaths.
"No need to change locations, let's just finish this stretch."
Qian Renxue leaned on Ye Qiu's shoulder, looking up at his profile in the moonlight, a faint smile playing on her lips, tinged with a hint of jealousy and bitterness.
Why couldn't this man belong to her alone?
Ye Qiu turned to look at her.
Qian Renxue hurriedly looked away, shyly poking Ye Qiu's head lightly.
"You rascal, what if you tripped and fell?"
"I'll be your cushion."
Ye Qiu chuckled, weighing her weight a couple of times. Qian Renxue, unsteady on her feet, quickly grabbed Ye Qiu's shoulder
and punched him twice .
"You jerk! Are you a jerk? You can't stand not scolding me!!"
"How could I?"
Ye Qiu retorted.
Qian Renxue snorted twice, looking at the desolate fields on either side, breathing in the fresh air.
She fell silent.
After a long while…
the shyness from almost being caught by Ye Qiu, her infatuation, finally melted away.
They started talking about serious matters.
"Speak, what exactly do you want from me? Didn't you say you were busy and needed to take time off?"
"I do have something to ask you."
"I knew it!"
Qian Renxue pinched Ye Qiu's cheek angrily, casually squeezing it to vent her dissatisfaction.
"Speak!"
"I just wanted to ask you about the Pope's situation."
"Why are you asking about that crazy woman? Just mentioning her makes me angry."
Qian Renxue frowned in confusion.
"Nothing."
"Hmm?!"
Ye Qiu was about to say 'nothing,' when Qian Renxue's threatening voice rang out, her soft hand already pinching Ye Qiu's ear.
"Think carefully before you speak! You are now... the angel's mount!"
Hearing Qian Renxue's somewhat childish words,
Ye Qiu couldn't help but chuckle.
After a moment's thought, he told her the truth.
"Someone warned me to be careful of her, so I came to ask you... to see if I should take any precautions."
"What?! You mean, that crazy woman has her eye on you?!"
Qian Renxue exclaimed in surprise.
However, she didn't doubt Ye Qiu's words.
After a moment's thought, she guessed a plausible reason.
Ye Qiu's talent was so dazzling, and his high-profile solo performance in the preliminaries made it hard for others not to notice him. Especially
for someone with high talent who wasn't from the Spirit Hall faction...
If it were Qian Renxue handling this, she would also choose to make that genius disappear completely.
"You bastard! Now you've gotten yourself into trouble for pretending so much!"
Qian Renxue complained, but her words were full of concern for Ye Qiu.
"Don't worry, she won't take my life,"
Ye Qiu comforted her with a smile.
"You're still laughing!"
Qian Renxue grabbed Ye Qiu's hair, not understanding why he had such a misconception. When
that woman went crazy, even her grandfather had to give her some leeway.
Only Sister Dong'er could completely suppress her.
If Sister Dong'er hadn't disappeared for over ten years, she wouldn't have been forced to come to Tian Dou by that crazy woman.
That crazy woman constantly claimed she was her daughter, a bastard, and wanted to kill her—who could stand that?!
"Alright, Xue'er, why don't you tell me about Bibi Dong first?"
Ye Qiu smiled helplessly.
He was just confident in Tang Yuehua and the others; she wouldn't lie to him.
Qian Renxue lay on Ye Qiu's back, a look of worry flashing in her eyes.
"There's not much to say about that crazy woman. She's powerful, with a lot of murderous intent and resentment. Before, she was like a resentful woman confined to her chambers, always saying that Sister Dong'er stole her lover, stole her man, and even stole her martial spirit. After Sister Dong'er left, she became a little more normal, but after I grew up a bit, she started pestering me again."
"Wait...wait!"
Before Qian Renxue could finish speaking, Ye Qiu stopped in his tracks, his mind buzzing.
"Ye Qiu, what's wrong?"
Qian Renxue looked at him strangely.
"Xue'er, let me calm down. What do you mean by Sister Dong'er?"
Ye Qiu's mind was a mess.
"It's Sister Dong'er, that's what I've always called her."
Qian Renxue didn't know how to explain either. She had called her Sister Dong'er since birth, and no one had ever corrected her.
"Oh, right!"
Suddenly, Qian Renxue seemed to have grasped something crucial.
"She looks exactly like that crazy woman, like twins, but when they argue, they both think they're the older sister, it's really weird. But Sister Dong'er was very good to me, it's a pity she's gone."
Qian Renxue, unusually, showed a girlish tenderness when talking about the so-called 'Sister Dong'er'.
"Twins?!"
Ye Qiu's brain went blank.
What is this all about? How did Bibi Dong become a twin? What the hell is going on?
Wait!
Ye Qiu frowned strangely.
The Pope, whom Qian Renxue called a crazy woman, actually accused that 'Sister Dong'er' of stealing her martial soul?!
That means the crazy woman lost her martial soul?!
Does that mean Bibi Dong still has twin martial souls?
Ye Qiu's head was spinning, almost completely confused. Martial souls can be stolen?
If it was stolen, then that Sister Dong'er originally didn't have a martial soul?
Are there still people on this continent without martial souls?!
"What's wrong? You don't understand their relationship either, do you?"
Qian Renxue sighed helplessly. She was heartbroken for a long time when she was almost killed by that crazy woman after admitting her mistake.
Ye Qiu shook his head and asked,
"Xue'er, you said that Pope said your sister Dong'er stole her martial soul?! What does that mean?"
"How should I know?"
Qian Renxue rolled her eyes.
"Don't take what that crazy woman says seriously."
Seeing that Qian Renxue didn't understand either, Ye Qiu changed his question.
"Then Xue'er, do you know what that crazy woman's martial soul is? What your sister Dong'er's martial soul is?"
"I do know that."
Qian Renxue nodded slightly and told him the truth.
"Their martial souls are both kings among spiders. The crazy woman's is the Death Spider King, and my sister Dong'er's is the Soul-Devouring Spider King."
Wishing everyone a happy life!
