Inside the Divine Might Space.
Liu Erlong lay limply on Ye Qiu's body.
It wasn't until Ye Qiu's collar was completely soaked that she gradually stopped crying.
But her body still trembled occasionally, a lingering effect of her intense crying.
Seeing that she seemed to have finished crying, Ye Qiu slowly began to move his body.
Her soft skin, even through the clothes, still possessed an extraordinary allure.
As if sensing something, Liu Erlong's already red eyelids, swollen from crying, showed a tendency to swell further.
Her face, which had transformed from heroic to delicate, slowly flushed pink.
Her two arms slowly climbed onto Ye Qiu's shoulders.
"Willow Courtyard."
Feeling her delicate body pressing closer and closer against his, Ye Qiu had been holding back his strength, breathing slowly, afraid of being abrupt with the beauty.
"Willow Courtyard?"
He called out softly twice, but received no response.
Only between his neck could he still feel soft, slightly cool lips.
They pressed against his neck, slowly wiggling, tickling him.
Being constantly pressed against her, Ye Qiu felt a bit awkward.
He tentatively and slowly moved his hand up her very shapely, yet well-proportioned, waist.
She was like a very soft and gentle rag doll.
Ye Qiu, already tempted, suddenly felt his heart pound and his Spirits soar.
For a moment, he couldn't regulate his breathing, and his chest and abdomen rose and fell more intensely.
The delicate body in his arms, suddenly startled, trembled slightly twice.
And then, she pressed even closer, sinking down.
"Hoo," Feeling a bit hot, Ye Qiu couldn't help but exhale a puff of warm air.
Holding her waist, and seeing no reaction from her, Ye Qiu was about to push her away first, to let his important parts breathe.
"Mm~"
Liu Erlong let out a muffled groan.
A warm breath brushed against Ye Qiu's neck.
She seemed unwilling to let Ye Qiu go; just as Ye Qiu was about to shift them from a stacked position to lying on their sides, Liu Erlong took the opportunity to directly hug Ye Qiu's neck.
One of her legs also pressed down on Ye Qiu's body.
Her slightly swollen eyes revealed a different kind of sparkle.
She gazed steadily into Ye Qiu's eyes.
"Willow Courtyard?"
Ye Qiu looked at Liu Erlong, who was clearly awake but not responding to him, feeling a bit confused.
"Brother Ye Xiu~"
Her round, red lips parted, and her somewhat hoarse voice uttered four characters that made Ye Qiu's heart tremble.
He looked at her with some uncertainty.
"Willow Courtyard, you... what did you call me?"
"Brother Ye Xiu, Erlong remembers! I remember everything! I finally see you again!"
Liu Erlong hugged Ye Qiu tightly, looking at him with tear-filled eyes, still with a slight sob.
Ye Qiu lay on the ground, stunned.
Even though the truth was so close to him, he was still somewhat surprised and doubtful.
"Willow Courtyard, are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?"
"No, I couldn't possibly be mistaken. You are my Brother Ye Xiu. Your eyebrows, eyes, nose... Spirit! And the scent on your body, I remember them all clearly!"
As Liu Erlong spoke, her soft hand gently caressed Ye Qiu's cheek, bringing her face closer, lightly inhaling Ye Qiu's scent, as if somewhat intoxicated.
"So it's true..."
Ye Qiu looked at the beautiful face before him, muttering to himself.
Although he had long suspected it, now that he was truly certain that Ye Xiu was himself, an indescribable emotion arose in his heart.
Looking at Liu Erlong, who had once again captured his lips, Ye Qiu's pupils trembled slightly.
It seemed he had inexplicably acquired one, or even several, love debts?!
Thinking of this, he was momentarily dazed.
He allowed Liu Erlong to take what she wanted, their teeth almost clashing together.
A moment later, the wet slipperiness on his lips had receded, but the sweet fragrance in his mouth lingered.
A plaintive voice whispered into his ear, "Brother Ye Xiu... do you not like Erlong anymore?"
Looking at Ye Qiu, who let her do as she pleased, yet showed no other response except for that one place, Liu Erlong's expression was utterly sorrowful, the light in her eyes almost dimming, and large tears were about to fall again.
"..."
Ye Qiu pursed his lips, unsure how to explain.
He shook his head helplessly.
He had only met her today; how could he possibly say he liked her?
"I only met you today!"
"..."
Liu Erlong froze for a moment, and the large tears at the corners of her eyes suddenly broke their stream, crossing the bridge of her nose and dripping onto the ground.
"Pfft... Haha."
Just as Ye Qiu thought she was about to cry, Liu Erlong suddenly couldn't help but laugh.
However, as she laughed, the tears streaming down her face never stopped.
"I'm sorry, Brother Ye Xiu... I... I was just too happy, and for a moment I forgot about your situation."
Liu Erlong, crying tears of joy, leaned her head back against Ye Qiu's chest.
A woman he had just met throwing herself into his arms—this feeling made Ye Qiu a bit awkward.
"Willow Courtyard, why don't we get up first?"
"Mm, I'll listen to you."
Liu Erlong frowned, nodding slightly.
Receiving her consent, Ye Qiu also released the slender waist he had been holding.
Liu Erlong cooperatively let go of him.
After they both stood up, Liu Erlong, however, pressed against him again, hugging Ye Qiu tightly.
"Brother Ye Xiu... will you hug me?"
Although Ye Qiu felt awkward, he still hugged her waist as she requested.
As his fingers gently stroked her, Liu Erlong's face glowed with happiness.
Her waist had smooth curves, starting from the gently indented lower abdomen, flowing downwards, forming an elegant arc at her hips, creating a sensual rhythm.
Ye Qiu could feel the delicacy and softness of her waist's skin, as if touching an ultimate silkiness.
Gently pressing on her waist, Ye Qiu could clearly feel that the fleshiness was not exaggerated, but just right.
It possessed both the wonderful sensuality and the slender suppleness; compared to the still somewhat innocent Zhuqing and the other girls, Liu Erlong was even more irresistibly charming.
Enough to make one not want to let go, wanting to feel the warmth of being encircled by a waist that combined softness and strength.
"Willow Courtyard, do you know Ye Xiu?"
Ye Qiu embraced the taut, delicate body in his arms and asked another question.
Seemingly wanting to understand Ye Xiu's information, in reality, he wanted to further confirm whether he was truly Ye Xiu.
Such a matter, no matter how many times it was confirmed, was not excessive.
"Brother Ye Xiu... Erlong won't be mistaken!" Liu Erlong tightened her embrace again, allowing Ye Qiu to hear her heartbeat and feel her softness.
"I know you have a second Spirit, the Blue Silver Emperor. Your Spirit is called Sharingan, and this is the Divine Might Space!"
"Ah, ha..." Ye Qiu faced Liu Erlong's suddenly somewhat resentful gaze and let out two dry laughs.
Liu Erlong's first sentence was enough for Ye Qiu to confirm that he was Ye Xiu.
His Blue Silver Emperor Spirit was indeed acquired later.
"Willow Courtyard—"
Ye Qiu was about to speak, but Liu Erlong wrinkled her nose, somewhat displeased, and rubbed against him.
"Then what should I call you?"
Ye Qiu was made restless by her rubbing, and a few beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Liu Erlong pondered for a moment.
Recalling how Brother Ye Xiu addressed Bibi Dong, she bit her red lips, then blushed and said softly, "Brother Ye Xiu, you can call me Erlong'er."
As her words fell, not only did Liu Erlong's own face feel hot, but Ye Qiu's lips also twitched uncontrollably twice.
Erlong'er.
He really couldn't bring himself to say it.
After all, she was much older than him.
He chuckled awkwardly and said, "How about... you change it? Is that okay?"
"Mm! Okay," Liu Erlong responded without hesitation, burying her head in Ye Qiu's arms and speaking in a muffled voice.
My personality really can't handle such a title.
She quickly said softly, "Brother Ye Xiu, it's better if you just call me Erlong."
"Alright! Erlong," Ye Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and readily agreed.
Then he remembered something else.
"Liu Erlong, you can also just call me Ye Qiu. That's my current name!"
"Mm, Brother Ye Qiu."
"No need for 'Brother,'" Ye Qiu's forehead sprouted a few black lines, and he quickly corrected her.
"Mm, Ye Qiu!" Liu Erlong looked up, gazing at Ye Qiu.
Brother Ye Xiu at this time seemed more interesting... his facial expressions were much more varied than before.
Ye Qiu, under Liu Erlong's puzzled gaze, held her shoulders and pushed her away.
"Uh... Erlong, why don't we change clothes first? I still have some questions to ask you."
"Change clothes?" Liu Erlong glanced at her own tattered cloth clothes, stained with blood, dirt, and sweat, and her exposed left arm.
Then she saw Ye Qiu's clothes, soaked by her tears.
A blush appeared on her face.
She nodded gently.
Ye Qiu no longer hesitated, his Sharingan spinning in his eyes.
He took Liu Erlong to another stone platform.
Here were some furniture and a screen.
"Erlong, why don't you go over there and change?" Ye Qiu looked at Liu Erlong, who was tightly clutching his hand.
He raised his hand and pointed to the screen not far away.
"Okay," Liu Erlong softly agreed, somewhat reluctantly, and only after taking a few steps did she gently release Ye Qiu's hand.
As she approached the screen, she didn't forget to look back at Ye Qiu, as if she was afraid of something.
"Hoo~"
Ye Qiu tugged at his damp collar and pinched the bridge of his nose.
It was a bit of a headache.
What young and vigorous man could resist such a tempting, slightly plump 'little tank'?
It really was hard to endure~
He sighed softly, and then disappeared from his original spot.
After casually finding a stone platform, Ye Qiu quickly changed his clothes.
...
Noon.
Star Dou Great Forest.
On the broken ground, fallen trees revealed the blazing sun high in the sky.
Several distant corpses lay exposed in the sunlight.
Their red robes were tattered, these were the Evil Soul Masters killed by Liu Erlong.
Their exposed hands and faces, however, had strangely shriveled completely.
The little blood they had in their bodies seemed to have been drained.
As space twisted, Ye Qiu's figure appeared here.
Looking at the withered corpses beneath his feet, Ye Qiu frowned.
His mood suddenly became heavy.
"I didn't expect them to even spare the bodies of their own people!"
After murmuring, Ye Qiu became even more determined to eliminate them.
Sharingan spun.
A bloodhound appeared out of thin air at his feet.
Ye Qiu took it to the place where Liu Erlong and the others had fought earlier.
He first let it remember the scents in the air.
He looked up at the sky, then disappeared from the spot again.
...
Inside the Divine Might Space.
Liu Erlong, who had already changed into a green cloth dress and used some drinking water to wipe her body and face, excitedly ran out from behind the screen.
Not seeing Ye Qiu, her heart instantly stopped for a moment.
She was currently standing alone on the vast stone platform, wandering aimlessly.
Tears, like broken pearls, continuously dripped from her eyes.
She stood there, all alone.
She, who hadn't shown the slightest panic even when surrounded and captured, was now flustered, looking around, searching for traces.
She searched for a long time, but still couldn't find any sign of Ye Qiu.
Her eyes were vacant and blurry with tears.
She stood there blankly, somewhat at a loss.
Suddenly, Liu Erlong's body trembled.
"Willow Courtyard, are you looking for me?" Ye Qiu's voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Ye Xiu Ge!"
Liu Erlong's voice was tearful as she heavily threw herself into Ye Qiu's arms.
With such a forceful impact, Ye Qiu, aside from almost losing his balance, surprisingly didn't feel the slightest pain.
Looking at Liu Erlong, who had clearly tidied herself up, yet still had tear stains all over her face, Ye Qiu's face showed a hint of helplessness and a touch of inexplicable heartache.
Perhaps the damned possessiveness in a man's heart had already made him regard Liu Erlong as his woman.
Feeling his shoulder damp, Ye Qiu patted Liu Erlong's back with one hand.
He softly said, "Willow Courtyard, can you please stop crying?"
"I'm sorry, I, I thought everything just now was a dream. I thought you had left me again! I'm so scared! I'm so scared that when I wake up, I'll have forgotten you again!"
Liu Erlong's voice choked.
She quickly looked up, tears still continuously welling up in her swollen red eyes.
Her body also trembled with sobs.
"How could that be? This is my Divine Might Space. It's already mealtime, I just went to buy some food and came back."
Ye Qiu was holding a food box in his left hand, which he had bought from Heaven Dou City.
"Don't cry." Ye Qiu helplessly reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Mm, I, I won't cry!"
Liu Erlong nodded forcefully, quickly wiped her tears with both hands, and then tightly clung to Ye Qiu's arm, unwilling to let go.
Ye Qiu looked at Liu Erlong, who was biting her red lips and desperately keeping her eyes wide open to prevent tears from falling.
He couldn't help but feel a bit strange.
The title of 'Mother Tyrant' seemed to be a bit undeserved now.
She actually made such a girlish expression.
After gently stroking her cheek again, Ye Qiu withdrew his hand.
"Willow Courtyard, let's eat something first. I also have some things I need to ask you. Let's eat and talk."
Ye Qiu was carrying things and was about to lead Liu Erlong, who was hugging him, towards a nearby table.
Liu Erlong's tearful voice, however, rang out again.
"Ye Qiu… call me Erlong."
"Okay, okay, I remember. Don't, Erlong."
Ye Qiu turned his head, and what met his eyes were a pair of large black eyes that could no longer hold back tears.
Somewhat flustered, he pulled her into his embrace and comforted her well.
After a while, Ye Qiu finally led her to the table.
Seeing that she kept hugging him and was unwilling to let go, Ye Qiu could only indulge her and sat down together.
He put down the food box in his hand.
"Erlong, can you let go of me now?"
Ye Qiu turned to look at Liu Erlong, who was leaning on his shoulder and had already made it wet.
"Mm, I'm sorry." Liu Erlong also realized that she had gotten Ye Qiu's freshly changed clothes wet.
She somewhat helplessly tried to pat Ye Qiu's clothes a few times.
"It's fine, I'll do it myself."
Saying that, Ye Qiu placed his palm on his own shoulder.
A moment later, a wisp of light smoke emerged, and Ye Qiu's clothes became fresh again.
He looked up at the somewhat haggard Liu Erlong.
Ye Qiu couldn't help but reach out, about to cover Liu Erlong's already swollen eyes.
"Erlong, let me heal you. Close your eyes."
"No, I don't want to close my eyes!"
Liu Erlong looked at Ye Qiu with some stubbornness.
She was afraid that if she closed her eyes and then opened them, she would find that it was just a dream!
"Alright! Don't worry, this isn't a dream!" Ye Qiu gently comforted her.
He simply raised both hands and cupped her temples.
Green light emanated from his thumbs, continuously and gently moving around her eyes.
Liu Erlong's eyes, like black pearls still holding a hint of tears, resembled dazzling glazed glazed ware, radiating a captivating and fervent brilliance.
Soon, her swollen eyes returned to normal.
As soon as Ye Qiu put his hands down, Liu Erlong's face rapidly enlarged before him.
Her plump cherry lips gently touched the corner of Ye Qiu's mouth, a fleeting touch.
Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment, but didn't say much.
"Alright, let's eat!"
He placed several delicious dishes on the table and distributed the bowls and chopsticks.
Ye Qiu then started eating first.
He hadn't eaten anything from morning until now, and he was indeed a bit hungry.
Liu Erlong took out a damp handkerchief and gently wiped away the tear stains on her face.
Though there was some disappointment in her eyes as she looked at Ye Qiu, there was more adoration, relief, and joy!
...
Ye Qiu, who had just lowered his head and scooped a mouthful of rice and dishes, found that his bowl had a bit more of his favorite food.
He turned his head to look in Liu Erlong's direction.
She was also picking up rice bit by bit, biting her chopsticks, watching Ye Qiu eat his meal slowly and deliberately.
Noticing Ye Qiu's gaze, she immediately gave him a gentle smile.
Then she added more food for Ye Qiu.
"Thank you, Erlong!"
Ye Qiu thanked her, and his last shred of doubt completely disappeared.
No matter what, it was impossible for her to like the exact same dishes as him!
"Mm!"
Liu Erlong nodded happily.
Recalling the past years, the food that had become somewhat sweet in her throat was difficult to swallow.
Looking at Ye Qiu's current appearance, she felt as if she had returned to the time, more than twenty years ago, when she and Ye Qiu shared meals.
Slowly, tears welled up in her eyes, then slowly receded.
Ye Qiu didn't seem to like seeing her cry.
She pursed her lips, a smile in her eyes and brows, and the food in her throat finally went down.
Ye Qiu, on the other hand, didn't think too much.
Currently, his mind was completely focused on the food.
After taking a few more mouthfuls of food, he quickly filled his stomach.
"Alright, Erlong! I'm full, don't put any more in for me."
Ye Qiu took another bite of the dish Liu Erlong had put in his bowl and said softly.
"Mm, I know!" Liu Erlong nodded, looking at Ye Qiu, slowly eating in small bites.
"Erlong, can you tell me about the past?"
Ye Qiu rested his head on his hand, quietly watching Liu Erlong.
At this, Liu Erlong's movements paused.
She gently shook her head.
"Sorry… there are some things I can't say."
"Oh? Like what?" Ye Qiu looked at her strangely.
"For example, some things between us."
Liu Erlong nervously held her bowl, somewhat afraid that Ye Qiu would get angry.
But she didn't want to completely reveal the process of her time with Ye Qiu. She hoped that Ye Qiu at that time would interact with her naturally, and not because he knew those things and acted passively.
Moreover, when she unlocked her memory seal, some information left by Bibi Dong was also instilled into her mind.
Although she hated Bibi Dong, she strongly agreed with this matter.
"Is that so? It's fine." Ye Qiu waved his hand indifferently.
He could somewhat guess her thoughts.
Besides, what he most wanted to know wasn't these things.
He extended his chopsticks and picked up some of the dishes Liu Erlong ate more frequently for her.
"Actually, what I want to know is, do you know why those Evil Soul Masters who were chasing you appeared? Is it related to me?"
What Ye Qiu wanted to know more about were some unknown changes happening in this World.
Liu Erlong, who was still immersed in the happiness of Ye Qiu putting food in her bowl, stiffened again.
She shook her head with some guilt.
"These, these I really don't know! You never took me with you when you were doing important things, and you never told me anything…"
Liu Erlong lowered her head somewhat dejectedly.
Even her relationship with Tang Yuehua and Ye Qiu was something she only found out after causing trouble at Spirit Hall.
"Alright! Let me think." Faced with this situation, Ye Qiu also had a headache.
Ye Qiu didn't just think; he also added some more food for Liu Erlong.
After a moment of contemplation, he continued to ask, "Do you, do you know Yu Xiaogang?"
"I, I know." Liu Erlong's face seemed a little flustered, but she quickly calmed down.
"Although that beast is my cousin, I have nothing to do with him!"
"Huh?" Ye Qiu looked at her strangely.
"Erlong, can you explain in detail?"
Seeing that Ye Qiu hadn't changed because of this matter, Liu Erlong felt a little relieved.
Then, a look of deep disgust appeared on her face.
She slowly recounted what happened after she met Yu Xiaogang:
"At that time, my memory was still sealed, and I was adventuring in the Spirit Master's world with that beast and the Four-Eyed Owl Flender…"
"I felt sorry for that beast, so I pulled him into the team, and we became known as the Golden Triangle…"
"Finally, that beast proposed to me, actually wanting me to work with him to cultivate a genius. It's truly disgusting!"
"Then I broke his leg and returned to Heaven Dou City…"
When she mentioned breaking his leg, Liu Erlong's face turned a little red.
Due to the information left by Bibi Dong, Liu Erlong did not tell Ye Qiu that her memory had been sealed twice.
Yu Xiaogang's true intentions were also discovered through the illusion Ye Qiu left in her eyes.
When she broke Yu Xiaogang's leg, her memory also recovered.
She then directly returned to Heaven Dou City.
