Early the next morning, Ye Qiu was ready to leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School with Xiao Lan.
As for Ning Fengzhi, he had already paid his respects yesterday afternoon.
"Ye Qiu! If you dare not come back to see me, I, I will definitely hate you to death!"
Before leaving, Ning Rongrong hugged Ye Qiu, saying some innocuous threats.
"Don't worry, I promise, I will come to see you every month!"
"Sister Rongrong, get out of the way quickly! You already had too much last night, now Brother is mine!"
Xiao Lan was behind, pulling Ning Rongrong's skirt, wanting to push her away.
"Stingy! Ungrateful!" Ning Rongrong turned her head and looked at her disdainfully.
"Ah! Xiao Lan is not like that!"
Looking at the exasperated Xiao Lan, Ye Qiu felt a bit helpless.
He really wanted to pour out all the snacks from the new spirit tool on her finger and bury her with them.
Just for these few things, she sent her brother to someone else's bed.
Now his body still smelled of someone else.
"Alright, alright! I should go." He gently pushed away the girl in his arms.
"Mm! I've given you the time you need, if you dare to betray me, hmph hmph, click!"
Saying that, Ning Rongrong sneered and made a scissor hand gesture towards Ye Qiu's private parts.
"Hehe..." Ye Qiu forced a smile.
"Haha! Mwah. Goodbye!" Ning Rongrong smiled slyly, kissed Ye Qiu, and then walked to the side.
"Brother~" Seeing Ning Rongrong walk away, Xiao Lan immediately filled her spot, clinging to Ye Qiu.
"Rongrong, goodbye!"
"Sister Rongrong, goodbye!"
Waving to Ning Rongrong, the three tomoe retracted, and when they reappeared, they were a six-pointed star.
A vortex appeared, and the figures of Ye Qiu and Xiao Lan twisted, gradually disappearing from their original spot.
Ning Rongrong stood rooted to the spot, her eyes brimming with spirit, completely different from the obedient look she had in front of Ye Qiu.
She murmured to herself.
"Hmph! That Xiao Wu and Zhuqing, Miss will not lose to them! And that Dugu Yan..."
...
In the Sunset Forest, on an empty patch of land, ripples suddenly appeared, and two blue figures emerged.
"Brother, what are we doing here!"
"You stay put, don't resist!" Ignoring Xiao Lan's question, Ye Qiu quickly formed hand seals.
"Mm!"
Once the seals were completed, invisible ripples spread, the space rippled, and the two disappeared from their original spot again.
At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
At this moment, Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo were having breakfast.
Suddenly, before they saw anyone, they heard a voice.
"Wow! Brother~ The air here is so comfortable!"
"Who's there!" Hearing Xiao Lan's voice, Dugu Bo and his granddaughter immediately became vigilant!
Only to see Ye Qiu's figure appear next to the wooden shed, with a babbling little pendant hanging on him.
"Brother! Who are they?"
Xiao Lan was happily breathing in the aura emanating from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
She pointed at Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan with a puzzled expression.
"Oh! It's you, kid, back again. And where did you abduct this little brat from?"
"Hmph! Pervert!"
Dugu Yan, who was at the side, looked at Ye Qiu with cold eyes, but when she clearly saw Xiao Lan's cute face, her eyes lit up slightly.
That small round face with a hint of baby fat made her feel an urge to reach out and pinch it a couple of times.
"Senior Dugu, Miss Dugu! This is my younger sister, Xiao Lan! Hmm? Senior, what happened to you?"
Ye Qiu, who had just finished introducing her, suddenly noticed that Dugu Bo looked somewhat disheveled.
His green hair was a bit messy, and his grey robe had several tears.
"Haha! Nothing, just had a fight with a sissy!"
"Is that so!" When he mentioned 'sissy', Ye Qiu already knew who it was. Seeing that Dugu Bo could still laugh heartily, he figured he must have had the upper hand in this match.
"Let's not talk about that! Just thinking about him makes me lose my appetite. By the way, I didn't expect you to have a younger sister. Have you eaten? Do you want to have some?"
"Yes, yes!"
Before Ye Qiu could speak, Xiao Lan, who had already set her eyes on the food, readily agreed!
"Hehe... Then thank you, Senior!" After Ye Qiu finished speaking, he also gestured to Xiao Lan.
"Thank you, Grandpa Dugu, and... also Sister Dugu!" Xiao Lan also greeted them very politely.
"Hmph! Why be so polite with me? Sit down! Yan Yan, go and get two more sets of bowls and chopsticks!"
"Mm!" Dugu Yan responded and walked into a wooden hut.
Ye Qiu also put Xiao Lan down and had her sit opposite Dugu Bo.
When Dugu Yan came out, she only had one set of bowls and chopsticks, which she filled with rice and placed in front of Xiao Lan.
"Little sister, this is for you!"
"Thank you, Sister!" Xiao Lan happily picked up her chopsticks, ready to dig in.
Suddenly, she noticed Ye Qiu looking on eagerly from the side.
Dugu Bo also looked at his granddaughter strangely.
"Sister! Where's Brother's?"
As soon as Ye Qiu was mentioned, Dugu Yan's face turned cold.
"None left, all the other bowls broke!"
She sat down in her own seat, completely ignoring Ye Qiu in front of her, and then spoke to Xiao Lan with a gentle expression.
"Little sister, don't worry, he's a big man, he won't starve! Come... eat!"
Saying that, she picked up some dishes and put them into Xiao Lan's bowl.
Looking at Xiao Lan's questioning gaze.
"Hehe..." Ye Qiu chuckled twice, his gaze sweeping over Dugu Yan opposite him. She must still be angry about what happened yesterday, he thought.
He rubbed Xiao Lan's head.
"Mm, it's fine! You eat! I'm really not that hungry!"
Dugu Bo also sensed that something was amiss. He raised his green eyebrows and subtly moved his lips.
Sound transmission!
"Kid! Did you upset Yan Yan? She's been sulking ever since she came back yesterday!"
Ye Qiu inwardly thought, 'Sure enough,' and nodded helplessly at Dugu Bo.
"Sigh!" Dugu Bo sighed inwardly. It seemed that to bring these two together, he, as a grandfather, would have to put in more effort!
"Brother~ How about Xiao Lan feeds you?" Xiao Lan picked up a dish and brought it to Ye Qiu's mouth.
"No need! I'll take this opportunity to go and pluck some herbs. You eat!"
Pinching her chubby cheek, Ye Qiu then said to Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.
"Senior, Miss Dugu, please enjoy your meal!"
"Mm! Go ahead..." Dugu Bo nodded in agreement, while Dugu Yan continued to eat slowly in small bites, unmoved.
After Ye Qiu had walked far away, she merely looked up slightly at his retreating figure, her silver teeth lightly biting, leaving a few marks on the bamboo chopsticks.
She then continued to fuss over Xiao Lan, always ready to play with her.
Ever since consuming those two Immortal Herbs, Ye Qiu could move freely around this鸳鸯锅 (Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well).
He took out the tools he had prepared earlier and began to harvest the Immortal Herbs.
The Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Product, the Yearning Heartbroken Red, the Wonder Chrysanthemum, the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss, and so on—all the ones Ye Qiu recognized were collected into his bag.
Afterward, Ye Qiu came to a seemingly unremarkable herb and sat down cross-legged in front of it.
This herb was entirely emerald green, and what was rather miraculous was that at its center, there were three snow-white leaves, with a few drops of crystal-clear dew in the middle of the leaves.
This was an auxiliary Immortal Herb! The Looking Through Autumn Water Dew!
Although it didn't help with spirit power cultivation, for Ye Qiu, it was crucial for his ability to use the Mangekyo Sharingan for extended periods!
Its effect on increasing ocular power was undeniable. In the original work, Tang San was able to break through his Purple Demon Eye to the Mustard Seed realm with its help, and at that time, he saw through Xiao Wu's true form!
Without much hesitation, Ye Qiu plucked it. With a slight flick of his wrist, a few drops of dew fell into his mouth.
Closing his eyes, he fully activated his Purple Demon Eye, and from the slits of his eyes, purple light occasionally overflowed.
