Looking at Qian Renxue, who was leaning in, Ye Qiu couldn't help but reach out and place his hand on her smooth forehead.
"Are you alright?"
Feeling the warmth of Ye Qiu's palm, Qian Renxue's exquisite face blossomed like a red flower, soft and delicate.
Every time they made contact, she would become a little flustered.
Her eyes flickered, and she suddenly regretted being so impulsive.
But it had already come to this!
The arrow was on the string!
Slap! She slapped Ye Qiu's hand away.
Turning her head, she quickly straightened up, not daring to look at him.
Her voice was a little hurried.
"Quickly tell me your answer!"
Ye Qiu looked at her serious expression, a forced smile playing on his lips, and spread his hands helplessly.
"Don't joke around, your status is not something I can aspire to."
"Status?"
Qian Renxue frowned and looked at him.
"You can even lay hands on the future heir of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School! Do you care about status that much?"
Her eyes slowly became dangerous.
This excuse was truly terrible!
Hearing this, Ye Qiu also awkwardly put away his smile and became much more serious.
"I'm sorry! I really can't agree to your condition!"
It was hard enough to decide to be a clear scumbag.
He wanted to be responsible for the girls to the end and give Xiao Wu and the others a warm home.
Ye Qiu didn't want to let go at all now!
As his words fell, the secret room fell silent.
The two looked at each other, both trying to read something in the other's eyes.
Qian Renxue stared at him, the redness on her face mostly from anger.
Her fists were tightly clenched.
She hadn't expected him to refuse so decisively.
Then a sense of shame quickly surged into her heart.
Damn it! He refused!
How was she going to explain this to him?
After taking a deep breath, Qian Renxue, feigning composure, turned her back, her face quickly turning crimson.
She was a little frantic inside!
She should have known not to bring up this condition!
Her intelligent mind raced, as if she had thought of something.
Her golden eyes lit up.
In just a blink of an eye.
Her breathing gradually became steady, and she spoke calmly.
As if what had just happened hadn't occurred.
"Alright! Since you don't agree, let's leave it at that for now!"
"Huh?" Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow, finding it very strange.
Her change of face was too quick, wasn't it? Was it that childish?!
"Actually, this was the Hall of Offerings' idea. Your Spirit's compatibility with the Seraphim is very high. This is just to tie your Spirit to my Qian family's warship!"
"So... you don't need to take this condition to heart at all!"
Qian Renxue turned her head, having already returned to her calm and composed demeanor.
She felt a little smug inside. This explanation... was very reasonable, wasn't it?
Besides, she wasn't lying; that's how it was originally!
This wasn't her idea; she originally disagreed as well!
But Ye Qiu's reaction made her a little flustered again.
"Is that so? I thought..."
Hearing his voice, Qian Renxue's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately blushed and snatched the words away.
"You, what did you think?! Did you think I would fall in love with a philanderer like you? I, Qian Renxue, would never share a husband with other women!"
She glared at Ye Qiu, her voice cold.
"Don't even think about it!"
"Mm, I understand!" Ye Qiu nodded calmly.
He was still clear about Qian Renxue's arrogance.
Although she was indeed very beautiful.
And very rich, very fair, and very powerful, very strong.
The former him had even considered using vulgar tricks like a honey trap.
To achieve goals such as acquiring the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
But that was just a thought.
He couldn't control this woman!
Watching Ye Qiu nod, Qian Renxue gritted her back teeth again.
You understand? You understand nothing!
She didn't know how this guy managed to hook up with women!
"Since you understand, then don't overthink it!"
Her eyes slowly became much colder.
She no longer dwelled on the condition she had proposed in a moment of impulse earlier.
"Alright! Let's talk about something serious now! What I just said wasn't my idea, it doesn't count! My condition is that I want you to help me hunt for a spirit ring!"
After re-emphasizing that the previous condition had nothing to do with her, Qian Renxue stated what she originally wanted.
"Spirit hunting? You have two Titled Douluo following you. Isn't it more suitable and efficient for them to do this kind of work than me?"
Ye Qiu looked at her in surprise.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Qian Renxue's playful gaze, and his heart immediately skipped a beat, his expression changing.
'My secret has been discovered!'
The next moment, Qian Renxue confirmed his inner thoughts.
"You certainly hide it well!"
"If Porcupinefish and the others hadn't seen your spirit ring configuration and your strange first condition, as well as Dugu Yan's fourth ring, when we were verifying compatibility, I wouldn't have discovered that you have such an ability!"
Qian Renxue sat back down at the table, picked up her tea, and took a light sip.
When facing Ye Qiu, who was younger than her, had lower spirit power than her, but could defeat her.
She enjoyed the feeling of having the upper hand over Ye Qiu, and she also liked the way he looked when he was surprised.
"When verifying compatibility?" Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment; he had been completely unaware of this.
"That's right! It was at that time, your purple-black-black spirit ring configuration, it truly made even me disbelieve!"
Qian Renxue looked at him, unable to help but exclaim in admiration.
Propping her chin with one hand and holding the teacup with the other, she turned her face and glanced at Ye Qiu, a look of anticipation on her face.
"Can you let me see it?"
"Hoo~ there's no need to see it!"
Ye Qiu was silent for a moment, then sighed helplessly.
He politely refused her request to see it.
Since the other party already knew, he didn't need to hide it anymore.
"I can indeed help others obtain over-limit spirit rings, but I can't help you!"
"What do you mean by that?"
Qian Renxue narrowed her somewhat long, sharp eyes and slammed the cup in her hand onto the table.
Not only did he not let her see it, but he also refused her again so neatly.
She felt a little angry and upset inside.
There was a hint of sorrow between her brows, and her voice became much lower.
"Are you unwilling to help me?"
"Of course, I'm not unwilling. After all, this was a condition I promised you before. It's just that my current ability can't obtain spirit rings beyond Ten Thousand Year!"
Ye Qiu waved his hand, indicating his powerlessness.
Qian Renxue's next ring was the sixth ring, and the maximum absorption limit for a spirit ring was Ten Thousand Year.
And he could only control a Spirit Beast of about fifteen thousand years for sacrifice at most now.
"Is that so!" Qian Renxue's tone softened a lot, and the tea by her lips tasted a bit sweet again.
"It's okay! I'm only level fifty-eight now, there's still time for you to grow. It's fine as long as you're willing to help! But... there are some things I need to make clear to you first!"
She also expressed understanding for Ye Qiu's difficulties.
Suddenly, her tone changed.
Her soft hand, wrapped in spirit power, was raised high.
Bang!
Suddenly.
The stone table let out a crisp sound as Qian Renxue slammed it.
She abruptly stood up, looking at Ye Qiu unkindly.
"Damn! What are you doing?"
Her sudden movement startled Ye Qiu.
She ignored Ye Qiu with a cold face, and two yellow, two purple, and one black spirit rings rose from her feet.
The Seraphim Spirit behind her immediately appeared and attached to her body.
Her golden hair was covered with a layer of golden light.
The six wings on her back spread open, and the holy light on her body illuminated the entire secret room.
As her fifth spirit ring flashed.
Her wings gently vibrated.
In just an instant, she appeared in front of Ye Qiu.
Her entire body was slightly off the ground, floating.
In her hand was the holy sword, its intense heat from the Holy Fire contained within.
Like an ordinary treasured sword, it was pressed against Ye Qiu's throat.
Feeling no hostility, Ye Qiu made no move.
He just tilted his head slightly, looking at her with a hint of speechlessness.
"I say, can't you girls just talk instead of doing this..."
"Ye Qiu! Don't confuse me with your other women!"
Qian Renxue snapped, feeling a little displeased.
Her gradually golden eyes shone brightly, appearing very deep and solemn.
"Alright... then what do you want to say?" Ye Qiu frowned, not refuting her.
Qian Renxue held the sword in her hand, her face devoid of any expression, just looking at Ye Qiu calmly.
"Ye Qiu! I know your talent is very strong! And you have many secrets, but I don't want you to lie to me!"
"Hey! What I just said is true, my current limit is fifteen thousand..."
"Don't speak yet!" She pressed the sword lightly against him, tilting his chin back, interrupting Ye Qiu's words.
"Qian Renxue! Don't go too far!" Bloodlust also appeared in Ye Qiu's eyes, and the Eternal Kaleidoscope Sharingan appeared, staring straight at her.
With just one glance, Qian Renxue's face turned a little red.
She quickly looked away, not daring to meet Ye Qiu's eyes.
"Hmph hmph... now I somewhat understand how you hook up with women!"
Qian Renxue shifted her gaze to Ye Qiu's neck, her words revealing a hint of playfulness.
"Heh! Xue Ke hasn't seen my eyes!" Ye Qiu wasn't completely without temper, he sneered and immediately retorted.
"Are you very proud, you scoundrel?" Qian Renxue's expression changed, and a faint light flickered on her holy sword.
The Holy Fire within was about to burst forth.
"I've never been proud of that, but you! What exactly do you want to say?!" Ye Qiu retorted coldly.
"Say what?" Qian Renxue sneered, a cold smile playing on her lips.
"I just wanted to give you a reminder. You should understand what our Spirit Hall's objective is, right?"
After a moment of contemplation, Ye Qiu didn't answer.
This question, ever since Qian Renxue infiltrated Heaven Dou and disguised herself as the Crown Prince, had already become obvious!
"Haha… Since you understand, then do you think we will be enemies in the future?"
"Who can say for sure about the future!" Ye Qiu's eyes flashed; he was also somewhat uncertain about the future of the continent.
Some things had changed slightly from what he knew.
Not getting a definite answer from Ye Qiu, Qian Renxue tightened her grip on the sword in her hand.
"Ye Qiu! Although your Spirit is very compatible with the Seraphim, if you ever dare to stand against me, I won't spare you!"
"Understood! Since you're done talking, shouldn't you put your sword away?"
Ye Qiu didn't doubt what Qian Renxue said.
He extended two fingers, intending to push her holy sword aside.
"You'd best take my words to heart, and furthermore—"
Qian Renxue still didn't put her sword away. Instead, she pursed her lips, a hint of shyness appearing on her face, and her words paused.
Her gaze fell upon Ye Qiu's face, and her tone lost its previous sharpness and harshness.
"I advise you to settle down and stop looking for other women. Otherwise, if you regret it someday, you'll have to dump them!"
"Hey! How did this topic come back around?" Ye Qiu's Sharingan had already closed, and his gaze towards Qian Renxue was a bit strange.
As a woman, her quick changes in expression were understandable to Ye Qiu.
But the topic jumped too quickly; he couldn't keep up!
"Hmph! What kind of look is that? I'm just afraid that you'll have a breakdown later and oppose me, so I'm helping you think of a way out. Marry me, and you'll be second only to one person and above ten thousand, guaranteed no one will dare to touch you!"
Ye Qiu stared at her fixedly; these words sounded so familiar.
It seemed these words weren't originally meant for him, right?
A strange emotion slowly arose in his heart, and he met her gaze, trying to discern something.
Ye Qiu's gaze brought forth several blushes on Qian Renxue's face.
A golden light flashed around her, and the color on her face receded in an instant.
She quickly explained.
"Don't overthink it, I just value talent! And only your Spirit, talent, and strength are very good… worthy of me! It can also greatly enhance the strength of our Spirit Hall!"
"Oh~" Unable to discern anything, Ye Qiu casually agreed.
The way out she spoke of, Ye Qiu wouldn't possibly take.
Seeing him again with that perfunctory, indifferent look!
Qian Renxue's eyes narrowed, and anger surged from her heart.
The hand holding the holy sword trembled.
Clap clap clap!
After a few crisp sounds.
The entire secret room fell silent.
Ye Qiu had stopped thinking.
Head tilted, a bit dazed.
His whole body was stiff.
His mind crashed, and his right cheek was somewhat flushed.
Qian Renxue's holy sword was pressed against his face, and he could still feel the warmth of the Holy Fire.
Only a moment of silence passed.
A loud roar echoed throughout the entire secret room.
"Qian Renxue!!"
Ye Qiu, who understood what had happened, his fair face instantly turned dark, and the redness on his right cheek was completely covered.
Just now—
Qian Renxue actually used her holy sword to slap him a few times?!
Blood permeated his eyes, and the spirit power in his body stirred restlessly.
"Pfft, haha…" Qian Renxue rarely let out a delicate laugh, a very bright and charming one.
But Ye Qiu was not in the mood to appreciate it.
He just stared at her coldly, his body even enveloped by a layer of crimson.
A crimson skeleton faintly appeared.
"What? Are you activating your flawed Martial Soul True Body because you want to hit me? Or kill me?"
Qian Renxue looked at him teasingly.
Her face was full of smiles, and she put away her divine sword.
She retreated a little, with provocation in her eyes.
"Hoo~" Ye Qiu lowered his head and let out a long breath.
"Aren't you coming? You!"
Qian Renxue's triumphant expression suddenly changed, a red glow flashed in her eyes, and her body stiffened abruptly.
By the time she regained her senses, Ye Qiu had already appeared behind her.
His hand was also raised high.
Illusion?!
Ye Qiu didn't speak, and Qian Renxue's face was ugly.
Just now, when Ye Qiu raised his head, she was actually controlled by an illusion for a moment.
"Ye Qiu! How dare you?!"
Feeling the palm wind coming from behind her, Qian Renxue bit her silver teeth, somewhat annoyed and embarrassed.
Holding her holy sword, she immediately turned to attack.
Smack!!
After a crisp sound.
Ye Qiu directly slapped her shapely buttocks.
In an instant.
The situation became unpredictable and ever-changing.
Whoosh! Qian Renxue spun around abruptly, a holy sword strike cleaving out.
Bang! A golden sword qi cut through Ye Qiu's body and struck the stone table behind him.
The stone table was instantly cut in half, emitting a loud bang.
"Ye Qiu! You're courting death!" Qian Renxue pointed her sword at him.
Tears even squeezed out from the corners of her eyes.
The burning pain made her heart tremble and skip a beat.
Her face was filled with shame and indignation, utterly mortified!
No one had ever dared to treat her like this!
When had that part ever suffered such humiliation!
"Hmph! You hit me several times, and I only hit you once. Considering you're a girl, I won't bother with those extra slaps you gave me. Let's call it even!"
Ye Qiu stood fearlessly in front of Qian Renxue, with his Kamui activated.
"Even? I'm not done with you! If you have the guts, fight me fair and square!"
Qian Renxue stared at him fiercely, even with killing intent in her eyes.
"Alright, if you want to fight, let's find a time later! I'm leaving first!"
"You're not allowed to leave!"
Perceiving two extremely strong auras surging in from the secret passage.
Ye Qiu didn't want to cause more trouble.
His eyes activated Kamui, and his figure vanished without a trace.
"Bastard!"
Bang! Qian Renxue furiously cleaved another sword, and the bed behind her let out another loud bang.
Clink!
The sound of porcelain hitting the ground caught Qian Renxue's attention.
She saw a porcelain bottle rolling from the ruined bed.
As Qian Renxue raised her foot, her brows furrowed, and her steps became somewhat unsteady.
"Damn it! How dare he strike so heavily—"
"Miss! Are you alright?"
Porcupinefish and Snake Lance burst into the secret room, appearing before Qian Renxue.
The two Titled Douluo looked at the ravaged secret room.
They already roughly knew what had happened here.
Having had many precedents, they dared not ask too many questions.
Qian Renxue's face was even redder, and fearing embarrassment, she dared not move another step.
"Snake Lance! Help me pick up that bottle…"
"Miss, here!"
Snake Lance Douluo picked it up without a word.
He handed it to Qian Renxue.
Taking the porcelain bottle, Qian Renxue opened it and sniffed.
The anger on her face intensified.
"Alright, you two may withdraw!"
"Yes, Miss!"
After Porcupinefish and Snake Lance exited.
Qian Renxue flapped the Six Wings behind her, rising a little off the ground, and slowly moved.
She opened the secret door in the wall of the secret room and flew into her boudoir.
The decorations inside were mostly warm and elegant.
Outside the soft bed was a purple gauze curtain.
Dispelling her Spirit possession, she wanted to slowly sit down, but tears appeared in the corners of her eyes.
"Bastard!"
Cursing again, Qian Renxue could only lie face down on the bed.
Looking at the ointment in her hand, she didn't apply it to her somewhat asymmetrical shapely buttocks.
Instead, she stared blankly.
'Ye Qiu! Do you really not have even a little feeling for me?! You ungrateful thing!'
...
At this moment, Ye Qiu had already returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well secret realm.
"Yan Yan! Yan Yan?"
"Xiao Lan? Senior Dugu?"
After calling out a few times, Ye Qiu sensed Xiao Lan's location again.
She was indeed no longer in this secret realm.
Ye Qiu frowned and immediately contacted Xiao Lan through the seed of life in his body.
"Uh, this girl isn't asleep already, is she?"
After a long silence, Ye Qiu called a few more times.
"Brother, stop bothering me~"
Finally, a somewhat drowsy, soft voice sounded in Ye Qiu's mind.
It seemed she really was asleep!
Ye Qiu shook his head. Although he didn't know where they had gone.
At least he didn't have to worry about their safety.
Coming quickly and leaving quickly.
Ye Qiu formed hand seals, and his figure slowly disappeared into the secret realm.
The night was enchanting.
Shrek Academy, in a dormitory not far from the girls' dormitory.
Ye Qiu's figure appeared directly inside…
