"I didn't expect Xiao Lan to be so formidable."
Watching the scene of the entire arena being blown apart through the glass French windows, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but look at Xiao Lan with new respect.
She had always had a stereotype of Xiao Lan, thinking she was a cute, soft, and food-loving girl.
She didn't expect that during this time, not only had her figure matured, but her strength had also increased, even faster than hers as an older sister, which made her feel a bit inferior again.
Thinking of this, Ning Rongrong glanced at the large package hanging on Dugu Yan's body opposite her.
Then she gave a few gentle elbow jabs to Zhu Zhuqing's chest next to her.
"Hmm, she is indeed very powerful," Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but frown, pinching Ning Rongrong at the same time.
She also put herself in the situation, thinking that if she were trapped inside by Xiao Lan, she probably wouldn't have a good time either.
"Of course, she has many clever tricks during soul duels… Huh? Ye Qiu, are you alright?"
Dugu Yan was praising Xiao Lan when she noticed Ye Qiu's body sway.
"I'm fine, she just borrowed some spirit power from me," Ye Qiu shook his head and chuckled.
Looking at Xiao Lan's pale face, he injected some of his spirit power into the small bud within his heart.
Xiao Wu's crimson eyes darted around, looking at Xiao Lan's retreating back as she left the stage.
She immediately jumped onto the sofa, wrapped her arms around Ye Qiu's neck from behind, leaned close to his ear, and said in a sweet voice, "Xiao Qiu, shall we get together tonight?"
Ye Qiu looked at Dugu Yan.
Seeing her nod, he agreed, "Alright, it'll just be me and you guys, hehe."
"Are you trying to kill me?! Don't laugh like that!" Ning Rongrong slapped away Ye Qiu's hand that was pinching her, her face flushed and her heart pounding, while goosebumps appeared all over her body.
"Pfft, haha," Dugu Yan chuckled.
It seemed the husband who was once easily teased was gone forever.
Zhu Zhuqing also gave Ye Qiu an annoyed glare.
"Xiao Qiu, you're getting more and more improper." Xiao Wu's face flushed, but she still gently kissed Ye Qiu.
She really wanted to communicate with Xiao Lan, who also came from a Spirit Beast background.
Ye Qiu opened his mouth and took the grape that Zhu Zhuqing had peeled, then gently licked her round fingertips, smiling flirtatiously at the blushing Zhu Zhuqing.
Then he sobered up and looked at Xiao Wu.
"Alright, Xiao Wu, hurry up and get down! Xiao Lan and the others are about to come back…"
Crack!
As soon as Ye Qiu's words fell, the door to the VIP room was opened.
Yu Xiaogang and the others swarmed in, and most of them stopped in their tracks when they saw the scene inside the room.
Ye Qiu was embracing two women, with different pressures on each arm.
The big cat was feeding him, and Xiao Wu was squeezed in behind, doing who knows what.
The four girls had flushed faces and slightly lowered chins.
Ye Qiu also awkwardly released Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan's slender waists.
Qin Ming looked at the somewhat disheveled Dugu Yan, with several black lines appearing on his forehead, and used the document in his hand to cover his face.
He had also figured out the identities of the other three girls; they were actually his juniors from Shrek.
Ye Qiu's reach was quite long, wasn't it?!
The others also had various expressions: shock, envy, strangeness…
Dai Mubai's face twisted when he saw this scene, and he cursed inwardly, "As expected, he's a scoundrel!"
And Tang San's eyes were even red; what he regarded as a treasure was being so defiled by Ye Qiu, it was truly despicable!
Yu Xiaogang sighed softly and reached out to press Tang San's shoulder.
Oscar, Yu Feng, Oslo, and the others were full of envy and admiration.
They had expected a good show, but they didn't expect it to be such a joyous scene that made them envious and resentful.
Didn't Ye Qiu fear Poison Douluo would poison him mute?
"Brother… Xiao Lan is back! How was it? Xiao Lan is very powerful, right?" Xiao Lan's clear voice came, as she quickly pushed through the crowd blocking her.
She looked at Ye Qiu with a smile and ran over.
She didn't feel anything about this scene at all.
In her opinion, it was only natural for Sister Rongrong and the others to be like this.
If she had to say, there might only be a faint hint of jealousy.
After a moment of stunned silence, Ye Lingling also took a step forward and walked over, sitting down beside Dugu Yan.
Xiao Lan sat astride Ye Qiu's lap, her sweet laughter seemingly easing some of the awkwardness.
Ye Qiu also smiled indifferently, as he hadn't done anything out of line anyway.
"Yes, you are indeed very powerful; you solved it so quickly."
He smiled and hugged Xiao Lan, letting her lean against him.
Meanwhile, Xiao Wu, behind him, blushed and quietly moved from behind Ye Qiu to sit beside Zhu Zhuqing.
"Of course, Xiao Lan wants to spend more time with Brother." After Xiao Lan giggled and pecked Ye Qiu's face twice, Qin Ming and the group finally reacted.
Those who didn't know the truth looked at the shameless Ye Qiu accepting Xiao Lan's light kisses and secretly cursed him as a beast.
"Cough cough…" Qin Ming cleared his throat twice.
He was, after all, half a host, and it was his duty to break the silence.
The best way, of course, was to act as if nothing had happened or been seen.
"Alright, Tianheng, Yu Feng… you've just returned from the soul duel, so please sit down and rest well!"
"Understood, Teacher Qin Ming." Yu Tianheng looked at Dugu Yan, feeling a bit down in his heart.
Even though he wasn't tired, he could only maintain a stern face and find a corner seat to sit down.
Yu Feng pouted.
He really didn't feel tired from this soul duel; he had only used one Spirit Ability from beginning to end.
"Dean Flander, Grandmaster… and all you juniors, please sit down as well." Qin Ming looked at the grim-faced Shrek group and chuckled softly.
"No need! We'd better take these children to conduct one-on-one and two-on-two soul duels." Yu Xiaogang raised his hand and refused.
"Hmm, alright then.
Qin Ming will give Grandmaster a reply soon." Qin Ming didn't try to persuade them further.
He didn't believe his students would refuse this friendly match.
"Hmm," Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly, then clasped his hands behind his back and turned to leave.
"Little San, Mubai, follow along."
Tang San and Dai Mubai glanced at Ye Qiu again, then turned their heads and followed him out.
Yu Tianheng looked at Yu Xiaogang's retreating figure, wanting to catch up and say something, but held himself back.
"Qin Ming, then we'll see you next time." Flander waved his hand as a farewell.
"You scoundrel, let's go too," Ning Rongrong raised her head and whispered into Ye Qiu's ear; she was still a bit uncomfortable.
"Brother…"
"Okay." Ye Qiu nodded slightly, lifted Xiao Lan horizontally in front of him, and stood up.
"Teacher Qin Ming, we'll take our leave now."
"Hmm, Yan Zi, please stay.
I still have some matters to discuss with you as the captain later." Qin Ming nodded.
As for Ye Qiu, he dared not keep him longer; he was truly a bit unsettling.
However, the battle against Shrek still needed the opinions of the parties involved, so Qin Ming called Dugu Yan to stop.
