"That's how it is. I don't know where Xue Beng, that wastrel, found another Titled Douluo," Dugu Yan told Ye Qiu everything she knew about the Shrek Academy's arrival, down to the smallest detail.
Her eyes narrowed, seductive and silken.
She leaned lazily against Ye Qiu's shoulder, kneading his arm.
She couldn't help but remember their first meeting, the scene of their fight in the wooden house.
Ye Qiu's expression remained unchanged.
Compared to that Titled Douluo, what surprised him more was that he hadn't expected Yu Tianheng to also leave with Yu Xiaogang and the others.
He didn't know if they would follow their original trajectory and head to Blue Tyrant Academy.
After understanding these matters, Ye Qiu looked at Ye Lingling, who was sitting opposite him.
He asked, "Miss Lingling, you mentioned earlier that you needed my help with something. What is it?"
"I, I! Brother, Xiao Lan knows."
Before she could speak, Xiao Lan, who was sitting in Ye Qiu's arms, raised her head, hugged Ye Qiu's neck, and bit his ear, about to tell him.
"Xiao Lan, Sister Lingling will speak for herself!" Ye Lingling raised her eyes and glared at Xiao Lan.
"Oh."
Xiao Lan reluctantly let go of Ye Qiu, pouting.
Not knowing what to do, she simply took out some snacks to comfort herself.
Ye Lingling lowered her eyes.
Ye Qiu's appearance, with a girl on each arm, made her avert her gaze.
After a moment of thought, she nervously clasped her small hands and softly said, "Ye Qiu, I, I heard from Miss Ning that her Spirit evolved because of your help."
Hearing Ning Rongrong's name, Ye Qiu understood.
It turned out that what Ye Lingling wanted to talk about was the curse on her Nine Heart Sea Tang Spirit.
Ye Qiu raised his hand and interrupted her, saying, "Miss Lingling, I already know what you want to say."
"You know?"
"Yes, I know."
Ye Qiu nodded seriously.
"The Nine Heart Sea Tang Spirit can only have one successor in each generation, and at most only two can be alive at the same time."
Ye Qiu's calm words sounded somewhat painful to Ye Lingling's ears.
She looked at Ye Qiu as if grasping at a life-saving straw.
"Then, then, Ye Qiu, do you have a way to help me? To remove this curse of the Nine Heart Seatang?"
Ye Lingling's light blue eyes stared intently at Ye Qiu.
Suddenly, her face beneath the black veil turned pale.
Because Ye Qiu was shaking his head.
Ye Lingling anxiously said, "Ye Qiu, don't worry. As long as you help me, I'm willing to pay any price. Whatever our family has, it's yours!"
"Miss Lingling, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I am simply powerless right now," Ye Qiu said helplessly.
Although he still had a few Immortal Herbs, those Immortal Herbs were not suitable for Ye Lingling at all, and the only Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid didn't have that effect either.
"How could this be?"
Ye Lingling's eyes lost their focus, and her entire body stopped moving.
Her previously somewhat bright eyes once again became dim and lifeless, even colder than before.
This feeling of having a glimmer of hope, only to have it extinguished, made her very uncomfortable.
The string that had been taut in her heart snapped.
Seeing her like this, Ye Qiu also felt a little sympathetic.
Strictly speaking, Ye Lingling was also the first friend he made after coming to Heaven Dou City.
He couldn't help but comfort her, saying, "Miss Lingling, don't be too pessimistic. If I gain the ability in the future, I will definitely help you."
Seeing the tears in Ye Lingling's eyes about to overflow, "Lingling…"
Dugu Yan quickly got up and went to Ye Lingling's side, hugging her.
Ye Qiu patted Xiao Lan next to him, motioning for her to go forward and comfort Ye Lingling.
Looking at Ye Lingling's tear-streaked face, Ye Qiu didn't want to stay here long; he still needed to greet Liu Erlong at Blue Tyrant Academy.
…
In the lounge, Ye Qiu's figure had vanished without a trace.
After a long time, "Lingling, are you alright?"
Dugu Yan looked at the somewhat haggard Ye Lingling in her arms, a flash of pity in her eyes.
"Sister Lingling, why don't you eat something? You'll feel better after eating something delicious."
Xiao Lan pulled out two handfuls of snacks from her spirit tool and handed them to her.
"I'm fine."
Ye Lingling took off her black veil, revealing her delicate, small, somewhat numb face beneath.
She gently shook her head and wiped her small face dry with her sleeve.
She self-mockingly said, "Actually, I had already anticipated this situation. It doesn't affect me much."
She had merely encountered a tiny, false glimmer of light in a dark place.
She was still in the darkness.
"Yan Zi, Xiao Lan, I'm going home now," Ye Lingling said softly.
She put on another black veil and was about to get up and walk out.
"Lingling!" Dugu Yan stepped forward and called out to her.
She said seriously, "Lingling, I actually think you can trust Ye Qiu. He definitely has a way to help you."
"Didn't you notice? Ye Qiu only said he's powerless at the moment. Perhaps… No! He will definitely have a way in the future!"
"I understand him; he truly has too many miraculous qualities."
Dugu Yan quickly stepped forward and held Ye Lingling back.
She felt that she could appropriately tell Ye Lingling some of Ye Qiu's secrets.
That way, with a glimmer of hope, Ye Lingling might not be so pained, and she would slowly approach Ye Qiu, eagerly awaiting that day's arrival.
…
At Blue Tyrant Academy, in Liu Erlong's courtyard, when Ye Qiu arrived, everything was silent.
But he couldn't help but frown.
Just for a moment, he felt as if someone was secretly watching him.
The purple pinwheel in his eyes flickered as Ye Qiu scanned the surroundings.
"This kid has good mental force!" Spirit Vulture Douluo, hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but exclaim.
Just as she was hesitating whether to temporarily retreat, a soft, charming voice rang out, and Liu Erlong suddenly ran out of the courtyard.
"Husband!"
A gust of fragrant wind, carrying her scent, blew towards Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu, who was investigating his surroundings, was stunned for a moment.
A soft, gentle, fragrant breeze hit his face.
He suddenly plunged into darkness, accompanied by a slight feeling of suffocation.
Her magnificent bosom emanated a faint floral fragrance.
Ye Qiu reached out and wrapped his arms around her ample waist, then gently bit her.
The taste lingered in his mouth.
"Mmm~" Liu Erlong let out an alluring whimper.
Only then did she blush and temporarily release Ye Qiu, her alluring face already flushed.
Looking at Ye Qiu, her beautiful face seemed a little resentful.
"Husband, you finally decided to come see me," Liu Erlong gently hooked her arms around Ye Qiu's neck, her eyes seductive and silken.
"I'm sorry, I'll come more often in the future," Ye Qiu said, looking at her fair, rosy cheeks, as if water could be squeezed from them.
His hands slid down her waist, and he slowly leaned down, taking her full, cherry lips into his mouth, savoring that familiar sweetness.
Spirit Vulture Douluo: "…"
