Watching the flames attack him, Black Three's foot, his Second Soul Ring flickered.
Second Soul Skill, Savage Bear Palm Print.
A several-meter-large bear paw, condensed from spirit power.
It slapped towards the surging wave of flames.
Bang!
Unfortunately, after only a few explosions, Black Three's Second Soul Skill scattered a few segments of fire snakes.
Fire snakes still continued to spin, pressing towards him.
"Not good! Black Four, dodge quickly!" Black Three's eyes were filled with firelight, flashing with fear.
"How is this possible! Is this a Spirit Ability unleashed by a Spirit Elder?!" Black Four was a bit suspicious of life.
There was no way to avoid it!
"Oh my god! Is this still a Spirit Elder?! Ye Qiu's Spirit Ability almost covered the entire Douluo Arena!"
The host also watched this scene with a shocked expression.
In the audience, everyone continuously cheered and shouted for Ye Qiu.
Their eyes only contained the wildly swirling fire snakes and firelight.
Even Xiao Wu and Zhuqing, who had already finished their Soul Arena match, were staring blankly at this scene in the waiting room.
Not to mention Ning Rongrong, who was standing behind Ye Qiu.
Her teal eyes had lost their focus.
Only Ye Qiu's tall figure remained.
And that fiery red, shocking background.
On the Douluo Arena, Black Three and Black Four, realizing they couldn't dodge, continuously retreated.
Until they had nowhere left to retreat.
"After this attack, his spirit power will definitely be almost depleted! Damn it, let's go all out! Black Four, stand behind me!"
Black Three gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.
"Understood, Big Brother!"
Black Four quickly stood behind Black Three, their figures seemingly overlapping.
Black Three's first and third spirit rings lit up under his feet.
First Soul Ability, Iron Palm Crushing Kill!
Third Soul Ability, Bear Palm Great Prajna!
"Hah!"
As Black Three's angry roar sounded, his palm continuously enlarged.
It grew as large as a giant eagle's wings, blocking in front of him and Black Four.
Bang, bang, bang!
The spiral-shaped fire snakes continuously encroached, wave after wave.
After resisting a few waves, Black Three was already bleeding from his mouth and nose.
Both brothers had varying degrees of burns on their bodies.
Bang!
A muffled sound.
The two of them ultimately failed to resist Ye Qiu's Blasting Wind Dance.
They were directly blasted off the Douluo Arena!
"Qiu Rong Combination, Ye Qiu!…!"
From the surrounding audience seats, there was a deafening roar of cheers and shouts.
"This is truly shocking! Let us congratulate the Qiu Rong Combination for winning this two-on-two Soul Arena match, despite such a vast disparity in spirit power!"
Amidst the host's exciting words and the cheers of the crowd.
Ning Rongrong rushed over and hugged Ye Qiu, bouncing and jumping around him like a happy child.
"Ah! Ye Qiu, you're really too amazing!"
"Haha… Alright, let's leave first!"
Ye Qiu's expression wasn't very good either; he had overdone it a bit, and his spirit power was severely depleted.
"Okay! Let's go find Xiao Wu and the others…"
Ning Rongrong linked arms with Ye Qiu and walked towards the waiting room.
In the waiting room, Xiao Wu and Zhuqing had been waiting for a long time.
"Xiao Qiu, are you alright?"
Xiao Wu saw his slightly pale complexion and stepped forward worriedly to support him.
"Don't worry, I've already asked him. Ye Qiu just consumed a bit too much spirit power!"
Ning Rongrong looked at him with a smile, her eyes full of joy, liking him more and more the more she looked!
"Ye Qiu, how did you use my Third Soul Ability? Is it an effect of your Spirit Ability?"
Zhuqing looked at him strangely; she naturally recognized her own Spirit Ability.
"That's right! I have a Spirit Ability that can replicate others' Spirit Abilities!" Ye Qiu nodded.
Zhuqing's Spirit Ability was also replicated while she was in a Soul Arena match.
Looking at Ye Qiu with some surprise, Zhuqing could only sigh at Ye Qiu's endless methods.
While Ye Qiu and the others were having their two-on-two Soul Arena match, Xiao Wu's solo Soul Arena match had also ended.
They didn't need to stay here for long.
"Alright, let's go settle the points first, and then I'll send you back to Shrek Academy!"
"Mhm!" The three girls nodded simultaneously.
When they were shopping in the afternoon, Ye Qiu had already told them.
He needed to return to Heaven Dou Imperial City tonight.
Therefore, they didn't pull him away too much.
After leaving the Soul Arena, they accompanied Ye Qiu, strolling all the way towards Shrek Academy.
At the entrance of Shrek Academy.
Ye Qiu was receiving a "baptism" from Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu.
Leaving behind a bit of wetness and fragrance on both cheeks.
"Zhuqing~ Aren't you coming too?"
Adhering to the principle of treating everyone equally and spreading the love.
Ye Qiu looked at the somewhat shy Zhuqing.
His expression was a bit playful.
The Zhuqing who had forced him before wasn't like this!
Looking at Ye Qiu, who had opened his arms to her, Zhuqing naturally wanted to throw herself into them.
But the gazes of Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu next to her made her a bit overwhelmed.
She exhaled, lifted her feet, and walked in front of Ye Qiu.
Her face was bright and flushed, her cherry lips slightly upturned, and she lightly stood on her tiptoes, about to kiss his cheek.
"Ah~ Mm!"
Ye Qiu chuckled, then stepped forward and directly embraced her, lowering his head to capture her soft, thin lips.
Their teeth clinked.
Zhuqing's hands rested on Ye Qiu's shoulders.
Her face was flushed as if she had been drinking, her eyelashes fluttered, her eyes shimmered with moisture, and she tilted her head, responding awkwardly.
Slowly, her entire body leaned against Ye Qiu.
When their lips parted.
There were still glistening droplets on Zhuqing's lips.
"Ye Qiu, you're biased! I… I want one too…" Ning Rongrong watched this scene, feeling very shy in her heart.
However, when it came to being close with Ye Qiu, she always felt it wasn't enough.
"Alright, alright, it's getting late, next time!" He cupped her pretty face as she leaned in, giving her cherry lips a fleeting taste.
"Then, then don't forget about helping me grow up!" Ning Rongrong hugged her chest, looking at him charmingly.
"Ah, ha… Understood!" Ye Qiu awkwardly agreed.
"Alright, that's it for now! Xiao Wu, you all be careful!"
"Mhm!"
After exchanging glances with Xiao Wu and seeing her nod.
An invisible vortex appeared, Ye Qiu's figure began to distort, and then he disappeared in front of the three girls.
"Zhuqing~ How does it feel?!" Xiao Wu linked arms with Zhuqing, her tone teasing.
Zhuqing blushed, pursed her lips, her eyes a mix of shyness and joy.
Her voice was soft and melodious.
"It feels very good…"
…
The three girls finished their teasing and were about to walk into Shrek Academy.
At the same time.
Ye Qiu had already arrived in the secret chamber of the Prince's Residence.
It was as quiet and dim as usual.
He sat down at the table, waiting for Qian Renxue's arrival.
…
The Crown Prince's study.
Xue Qinghe, who had just finished a day's work, raised his hands and stretched.
He tilted his head slightly.
He picked up a book that had been sitting beside him for a long time—Two-Yin Heart Sutra.
There seemed to be something tucked inside.
He gently opened the pages, and a faint, elegant fragrance seemed to waft out.
Tucked inside this page was a preserved specimen of a Polygala flower, which he had made.
A hint of contentment played at the corner of his mouth.
After turning a few pages, it turned into coldness and majesty.
He saw that there were several sheets of paper filled with writing tucked inside.
Each page had the two characters "Ye Qiu" written on it.
He picked up the most recently collected intelligence, looking at his recent actions in Soto City.
A hint of anger couldn't help but appear on his face.
"Hmph! This bastard, clearly having such good talent, insists on wasting time chasing after women!"
Bang!
He forcefully closed the book and put it into his spirit tool.
He then looked at the brocade box sent from Spirit Hall today.
He slowly opened it.
What met his eyes was a Spirit Bone.
It was entirely purple, with electric arcs continuously pulsating around it.
From its completeness, its age was at least around seventy thousand years.
"Death Canyon, a seventy-five thousand year old Thunder Beast's right arm bone. He's really getting a good deal!" Xue Qinghe pouted and quietly put away the brocade box.
"If there's nothing, don't disturb me!"
"Understood, Young Master!"
He gave instructions to the two corners of the room.
He got up, opened the secret door, and walked into the secret chamber.
As he walked through the secret passage, a golden light slowly emanated from his body.
His golden hair slowly grew longer and became smooth.
His face and features slowly softened.
His skin became fair as snow, smooth and delicate.
The parts of his body that should be large and curvy also slowly returned to their original state.
She was still wearing a golden stand-collar palace gown, simple and well-fitting.
It enveloped her well-proportioned figure, with smooth lines and a noble temperament, giving off an unapproachable feeling.
Before entering the secret chamber, Qian Renxue already sensed a familiar aura inside.
A hint of joy flashed in her gradually golden eyes.
Her steps also became lighter and much faster.
Upon entering the secret chamber, the dim environment seemed to brighten considerably because of her.
Her eyes met Ye Qiu's directly.
The emotions within were quickly hidden.
"How do you have time to come back? Aren't you going to spend more time with the new women you've seduced?"
Her voice was cold, devoid of any emotion.
She sat opposite him, her eyes even showing a hint of disdain.
He went out once and came back with two more women.
"What new seductions? I've known them for a long time!"
Ye Qiu poured her a cup of tea helplessly.
He wasn't surprised that Qian Renxue knew some things about him.
Given her status and position, she had eyes and ears everywhere.
"Really? It seems I've always underestimated your charm!"
Qian Renxue twitched her lips and gave him a cold glance.
She secretly resented him.
The women she knew of were already no less than four!
"Haha…" Ye Qiu chuckled twice, picking up the tea on the table and taking a sip.
Watching his smiling face, the delicate fists under the table clenched tightly.
A cold smirk slowly appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"You're still 'haha-ing'? It seems you're quite pleased with yourself, aren't you? I wonder what you think of My Emperor's sister, Princess Xue Ke? Has she caught your eye?"
"Pfft! Cough, cough!"
The tea had just gone down his throat when he heard Qian Renxue's teasing voice, and he burst into a fit of coughs, choking on the tea.
His face turned red.
"What are you even talking about? I have no thoughts about Xue Ke! I'm not a casual person!"
"Pfft!"
Qian Renxue was so amused by Ye Qiu's words that she laughed.
She gave him a strange look, revealing a disdainful smile.
"You're not a casual person? Where do you get the nerve to say that?"
…
Ye Qiu was momentarily speechless, wiping the tea from the corner of his mouth.
"Anyway, we're all mutually attracted!"
"Mutually attracted?" Qian Renxue tightened her grip on the teacup, the light in her eyes dimming slightly.
"Speaking of which… isn't this topic getting a bit off-track?" Ye Qiu looked at her strangely.
"Hmph! I just can't stand a debauched person like you!"
Ye Qiu's gaze made her suddenly flustered, afraid that her inner thoughts would be seen through.
She snorted coldly and lowered her head to take a small sip.
Secretly adjusting her breathing rhythm.
"By the way, have those pillars I asked you to forge been completed?"
Ending the previous topic, Ye Qiu asked about his main business.
"You came back just for this?"
"What do you take this place for? Other than asking me to do things, it's just asking me to do things!"
Qian Renxue was stunned, and an unknown anger flared up in her heart again.
She glared fiercely at Ye Qiu, wishing she could flay him.
This scoundrel!
"Uh… later we can also cultivate. I'm almost at level thirty-four anyway!"
"You!"
Hearing his reply.
Qian Renxue's breath hitched, and her almond eyes glared at him.
She bit her delicate teeth, strongly resisting the urge to pull out her holy sword and chop him down!
Cultivation, cultivation!
Who cares about this one night of cultivation time!
"Don't worry, after we finish our daily cultivation this period, there shouldn't be any problems! It won't take too long…"
Ye Qiu saw her angry expression and thought she was anxious about the Spirit Fusion Skill cultivation.
He added another sentence.
"Hmph! I hope what you say is true!"
Hearing Ye Qiu's words, the displeasure in Qian Renxue's heart inexplicably dissipated a lot.
She took out a ring from her embrace.
She played with it between her fingers.
There was some curiosity in her eyes as she looked at Ye Qiu.
"It's not impossible to give you the things, but I'm curious what you took from Tang Hao?"
"Secret!"
"Secret? Another secret!" Qian Renxue held the ring in her palm.
Her delicate eyebrows arched, and she looked at him with displeasure.
She didn't understand why Ye Qiu always had so many things he couldn't tell her.
Did he think she would harm him!?
Fortunately, she had already anticipated this answer.
The things she spoke of just now were not just those iron pillars he needed for unknown purposes.
That right arm bone was also included.
Qian Renxue glanced at Ye Qiu indifferently, and with a forceful wave of her small hand, she threw the spirit tool in her hand to him.
Ye Qiu's quick reply pleased her.
But the content of his reply displeased her greatly!
Since that was the case, that Spirit Bone would be kept by her for a while!
"Thank you!"
Ye Qiu took the ring, checked the contents inside, and after confirming there were no issues, he put it into his Divine Might Space.
"If you want to thank me, spend more time with me… cultivating! Hmph!"
She gave Ye Qiu an annoyed look and directly drank the tea in her hand.
"I'll try my best. Well, if there's nothing else, shall we start cultivating now?"
Ye Qiu pointed to the bed against the wall, seeking her opinion.
"Fine…" Ye Qiu's business-like attitude made Qian Renxue feel somewhat unenthusiastic.
She got up and sat cross-legged on the bed.
Ye Qiu followed closely.
He sat behind her, pressing against her back.
Smelling the exotic fragrance emanating from Ye Qiu, Qian Renxue's mind also quieted down a lot.
Cooperating with Ye Qiu, she intertwined her fingers with his.
However, after only a moment, her brows furrowed again.
She smelled other scents on Ye Qiu, besides Ning Rongrong's, there were two more unfamiliar scents.
She didn't know why.
This feeling, compared to what she saw in the intelligence reports, made her even more uncomfortable and even disgusted!
"We can start!"
Ye Qiu was already ready, but Qian Renxue pulled her hand back.
"No need, I'm not in the mood today!"
"What's wrong?" Feeling the touch on his back disappear, Ye Qiu turned his head, looking at her strangely.
"Nothing, just a bit tired!" Qian Renxue got up and paced forward, feeling a bit annoyed.
Her mind, however, couldn't help but recall.
Her grandfather's previous policy to bind this fellow to the Qian family!
After a moment of thought, she turned back to look at Ye Qiu.
"Do you still remember when I said you had to promise me one condition?"
"Of course I remember! So, have you thought about it?"
Under Ye Qiu's curious gaze.
Qian Renxue pursed her lips, seemingly still struggling with something, and under the illumination of the night pearl above.
A slight blush appeared on her face.
Making her, who was already beautiful, even more captivating.
She lightly bit her red lips, as if she had already made up her mind.
Her eyes became sharp, staring straight at Ye Qiu.
She reached out a finger, and a somewhat forceful voice echoed throughout the secret chamber.
"I want you!"
…
Ye Qiu looked at her in a daze, waiting for her to continue.
"Hmm?"
After a moment of silence, Ye Qiu's expression gradually became strange, as he stared blankly at Qian Renxue, who was still pointing at him.
"That's it?!"
"Mhm! I'm done!"
Qian Renxue nodded affirmingly.
…
Seeing Ye Qiu's bewildered look, she walked in front of him again, bent down, and looked him in the eye.
She emphasized again.
"You didn't mishear, I want you to dump all of them, and then… marry me!"
