Zhu Zhuqing hadn't expected that following Dai Mubai for just a short distance would lead her to find Xiao Wu, whom Ye Qiu had been longing for.
Silently watching the scene before her, her beautiful brows furrowed, a strange look appearing in her eyes.
This scene... she couldn't quite understand.
"Enough! I don't want to hear your explanation!"
Xiao Wu's crimson eyes flashed with coldness as she interrupted Tang San, who was about to continue his sophistry.
"Xiao Wu..." Tang San covered his face, wisely remaining silent.
"Since you don't have a place to stay, why don't you just stay with me!"
Glancing at Tang San, Zhu Zhuqing extended an invitation to Xiao Wu, making it easier for her to protect her.
"Who exactly are you? What's your purpose in approaching Xiao Wu!" Seeing Xiao Wu about to agree, Tang San directly grabbed his Zhuge Crossbow and pointed it at Zhu Zhuqing.
"I'm just protecting her because someone entrusted me with this!" Zhu Zhuqing's voice remained indifferent; she only wanted to do her job.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
A glimmer of light appeared in Xiao Wu's eyes, and she agreed without hesitation.
"This must be someone Xiao Qiu found."
"Okay, come with me,"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded, slowly walking out of the Rose Hotel, and Xiao Wu immediately followed.
She couldn't wait to find out about Ye Qiu's situation!
"Xiao Wu! Damn it!" Tang San called out, but receiving no response, his face darkened, and he had no choice but to follow.
The hotel Zhu Zhuqing had booked wasn't far from here.
Xiao Wu followed behind her, watching her back, her mind filled with too many questions.
Click!
Following Zhu Zhuqing into the room, Xiao Wu glanced at Tang San behind her and then closed the door behind her.
Tang San stood outside the door, his expression somewhat stiff, forcing a smile, and gently knocked on the door a few times.
"Xiao Wu, you must be hungry now, right? Do you need me to buy something to bring up?"
"I'm not hungry, you go eat by yourself!"
"Oh, okay then!" Tang San took a deep breath; he had no other choice.
On the way, he had warned Zhu Zhuqing several times and tried to dissuade Xiao Wu, but she completely ignored him, determined to follow.
Tang San silently went downstairs to the front desk and booked a room.
He then went out alone to find food; having just arrived in a new place, he needed to familiarize himself with it as quickly as possible.
...
Inside the room, sunlight streamed in through the window, making it exceptionally bright.
Neither of them spoke.
Xiao Wu was sitting on the bed, while Zhu Zhuqing stood with her arms crossed, leaning against the window.
She watched Tang San walk down the street until his figure disappeared into the distance.
Zhu Zhuqing was curious; she could sense that Xiao Wu disliked, even loathed, that guy named Tang San.
Yet Xiao Wu allowed him to follow her.
It was truly perplexing.
"Where is Xiao Qiu now?! Is he alright?"
Crimson eyes, facing the sunlight, stared intently at Zhu Zhuqing, her small hands clasped together.
"Xiao Qiu?"
Hearing her address Ye Qiu, Zhu Zhuqing turned to look at her, her eyes seemingly filled with a hint of reminiscence.
"I don't know either. It's been almost two years since I last saw him,"
Xiaowu said, her eyes filled with deep disappointment and glistening with tears. Her small hand constantly rubbed the pink ring on her ring finger.
"Then what's your relationship with Xiaoqiu?"
"..."
Faced with Xiaowu's question, Zhu Zhuqing's face suddenly flushed slightly, and she pursed her lips, remaining silent for a moment.
"I...I like him!"
Without any concealment, the words left her lips, her face turning even redder, yet she felt
a sense of relief. She looked directly at Xiaowu, wanting to see her reaction.
"Is that so?"
Xiaowu was also taken aback, her crimson eyes blinking as she slowly lowered her head, a sudden panic rising within her.
"What about Xiaoqiu? Does he like you too?"
"I don't know!"
Zhu Zhuqing's pale purple eyes looked out the window again. She should have confessed to him before, right?
But he didn't seem to have accepted?
But it didn't matter. He had seen and touched almost everything about her, knowing everything about her.
If that lewd thing dared to shirk responsibility...
Xiao Wu looked up, puzzled by Zhu Zhuqing's flushed face and clenched teeth, wondering what had happened between them.
Xiao Qiu should have told her about their relationship, and she liked Xiao Qiu too.
"So, why did you come to protect me?"
"Because... he needs it, so I came!"
...
On the other side, Tang San, out looking for food, arrived at a rather dilapidated shop with a circular symbol engraved on its signboard.
The special symbols on it caught his attention, somewhat similar to the token in Grandmaster's hand.
They were the Seven Kill Sword, the Clear Sky Hammer, and a Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, intertwined to form a pattern.
Just as he reached the door, a girl in a blue dress came out,
holding a transparent crystal and cursing.
"Hmph! What a swindler! How dare he charge me five hundred gold coins! If Ye Qiu didn't need it, I'd tear this black-hearted shop down!"
This girl was none other than Ning Rongrong, who had left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Before she left, Ye Qiu gave her many instructions, including mentioning this crystal.
Although he only vaguely mentioned it, Ning Rongrong would naturally do her best to find anything he needed.
Moreover, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's intelligence network was quite effective; she only needed to go to her family's hotel and instruct her servants to search for it.
Just as Tang San, whose eyesight was extraordinary, passed by, he immediately noticed something was wrong and stopped in his tracks.
What had he seen?!
The girl was holding a top-grade rutilated quartz crystal—a plate crystal! The golden threads inside had even coalesced into a block!
"Miss, please wait!"
Tang San's eyes flashed with excitement, and his somewhat dull face flushed slightly, showing how excited he was.
"Hmm? Are you calling me?"
Ning Rongrong turned around, looking at the dark-skinned, thin boy who had called her.
"That's right, Miss, I wonder if you could sell me what you have?"
He stepped forward with a smile, trying to keep his voice calm.
But the bloodstain on his face from Xiao Wu's punch made him look rather comical.
"Hmph! Don't get so close to me, you stink." Ning Rongrong frowned, covering her mouth and nose in disgust.
"Hehe...sorry." Tang San chuckled dryly and took a few steps back.
After driving for so long under the scorching sun, he had indeed sweated a lot.
"Hmph! I spent five hundred gold coins on this. Can you afford it? Besides, I'm not selling it, so don't even think about it!"
Glancing at Tang San's attire, apart from the soul tool at his waist, everything else seemed worthless.
Ning Rongrong didn't linger and was about to leave.
"Wait!"
"I already said I'm not selling it, are you done yet?!"
She looked at Tang San impatiently. Ning Rongrong wasn't a patient person, except when it came to Ye Qiu.
"Miss, I think I can exchange this silent sleeve dart for it!"
Tang San produced a delicate, wristband-like object.
His face radiated confidence. Although he didn't have that many gold coins, he had Tang Sect hidden weapons!
His hidden weapons were absolutely deadly in this Douluo Continent!
Exchanging them for a piece of crystal that ordinary people considered low-quality was a piece of cake!
Seeing the surprise in Ning Rongrong's eyes, Tang San couldn't help but show a proud expression.
"Miss, this is a weapon, lightweight and portable. Even a Soul Master could be fatal if caught off guard. For a girl like you, it's an absolute must-have companion for home and travel!"
*Thud!
* With that, Tang San fired a shot at the shop wall, the arrow tip penetrating about an inch.
"Miss, what do you think?"
Tang San handed over the hidden arrow, looking at Ning Rongrong with confidence.
Upon hearing her reply, her expression froze.
"What kind of trash is this! I don't care!"
Ning Rongrong glanced contemptuously at the silent hidden arrow in his hand, her voice full of disdain.
She still had the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow that Ye Qiu had given her in her Soul Guidance Device! Besides, she had played with hidden arrows before.
"What! You just said my hidden weapon is trash!?" Tang San was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage.
In his heart, every Tang Clan hidden weapon was a supreme treasure, his life's foundation, and he wouldn't tolerate any questioning or desecration from others. "
And to call it trash! " Ning Rongrong snorted coldly, ignoring him and turning to leave. Watching his retreating figure, Tang San's eyes flashed with a cold light, his hand gripping the hidden arrow , ready to fire. Insulting Tang Clan hidden weapons was a death sentence! "Hehe... I'll let you taste the power of hidden weapons!" Tang San murmured, preparing to unleash his Tang Clan's ultimate technique. Even on the street, he wasn't worried about being exposed; the unpredictability of hidden weapons was beyond the comprehension of these natives! "Boy, you damaged my shop, let's talk about compensation!" "Who goes there!" A sudden gust of cold wind swept behind him, making Tang San's hair stand on end, as if he had encountered something terrifying. A long, broad, yet bony hand landed on his shoulder without him noticing. Turning his head, a face with a long, narrow jaw and a hooked nose appeared before Tang San's eyes. The hidden arrow in his hand immediately shot towards him.

*Whoosh! Snap!*
Unfortunately, she was subdued and dragged into the dimly lit shop where the lights were reluctant to be turned on.
Ning Rongrong, who hadn't gone far, turned back to look at the shop's location, a cold glint in her eyes.
"Is this Tang San? Ye Qiu's enemy?"
When Ye Qiu handed her the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow, he specifically instructed her not to expose it to anyone else using the same weapon, and that person was Tang San!
...
Night fell, Tian Dou City, Crown Prince's Residence.
Ye Qiu arrived at the secret room as usual.
As soon as he appeared, Qian Renxue was already sitting there waiting for him.
"You're late!" Qian Renxue's calm voice echoed in the secret room.
"Yes, sorry!" Ye Qiu naturally sat down beside her and drank the tea she had poured.
These past two days, that girl Xiao Lan had also been staying at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well Secret Realm, causing quite a bit of trouble.
"Let's skip cultivation today and try out the Martial Soul Fusion Technique!"
Qian Renxue put down the teapot. She had been cultivating the *Two Elements Heart Sutra* for some time now, and it was time to see the results.
She got up and walked to the new bed.
Ye Qiu behind her remained motionless, neither responding nor making any move.
She turned around and looked at him strangely.
"What's wrong?"
"Hehe...shouldn't you give me the thing? You keep dragging your feet, making things difficult for me!"
Ye Qiu tapped the table lightly, a wry smile on his face.
"Hmph! I was planning to give it to you after I finished cultivating, but since you need it now, take it!"
Swish!
Qian Renxue reached into her robes, and a scroll of animal hide appeared in her hand.
She tossed it towards Ye Qiu.
It had been dragged on long enough, and seeing his sour face, Qian Renxue's anger had subsided considerably.
Ye Qiu took it in his hand; the animal hide scroll was still slightly warm and fragrant.
He slowly unfurled it and examined its contents.
"Would I lie to you!" Qian Renxue frowned, somewhat displeased with his actions.
"I was just curious," Ye Qiu casually replied, intently studying the contents.
After a long while, Ye Qiu finally closed the scroll of "Hidden Spirit Secret Technique" and stored it in his Divine Might Space.
"Alright! You can start cultivating now!" Ye Qiu stood up with satisfaction and sat cross-legged on the bed.
"You're facing the wrong way, turn around!"
"Huh? Isn't this how it's always been?" Ye Qiu looked at her curiously.
Suddenly, he noticed that Qian Renxue's face had turned incredibly red.
"It's our first time using a Martial Soul Fusion Technique, so it's better if we stay close."
Ye Qiu's heart skipped a beat, as if recalling those erotic scenes from before—fair skin, lotus-like arms and jade-like feet, warm and soft.
"What are you thinking about?" Seeing Ye Qiu lost in thought, with a slight blush on his face, she immediately blushed and scolded him.
"Cough cough...no, nothing. You have to promise not to chop me up again after this is over!"
Ye Qiu coughed twice, feeling he needed to give her a heads-up beforehand, lest the secret chamber need repairs again.
"Hmph! It's all because of you! If you dare open your eyes early again this time, I won't let you off!"
"Okay, I remember!"
As he spoke, Ye Qiu turned around.
After uttering her harsh words, Qian Renxue pulled on her skirt and slowly sat on Ye Qiu's lap.
No matter how many times, at times like this, neither of them could remain calm.
Sitting on Ye Qiu's lap, her heart raced, and her body felt slightly numb.
Qian Renxue wrapped her arms around his neck, her legs tightly encircling his waist.
Ye Qiu also closed his eyes, reaching up to pull her towards him.
Soft, fragrant, and hot.
Embraced intimately, the two were almost the same height.
Sitting on his lap, Qian Renxue felt the warmth of his breath on her collar, and her heart began to heat up.
A rosy glow spread across the sky, and Qian Renxue lowered her head slightly, pressing her forehead against Ye Qiu's.
Ye Qiu, in turn, slowly tilted his head back, keeping his eyes closed.
Although he couldn't see her face, the fragrant breeze lingering around his nose was enough to stir his imagination.
The pressure on his chest required him to breathe more vigorously, his breath hitting Qian Renxue's face.
With each breath, he was enveloped in her scent.
Looking at Ye Qiu's features—eyebrows, nose, mouth—he could almost capture her thin lips with a slight forward thrust.
Qian Renxue frowned, suppressing a slight impulse, and slowly closed her eyes as well.
"Let's begin!"
"Mmm!"
Ye Qiu responded with a nasal tone, and the two began to slowly circulate their soul power.
Golden light mingled with blood-red light above their heads on the bed.
A six-winged angel with closed eyes sat cross-legged in the air.
Its form was enormous.
Below it floated eight soul rings: one purple and two black, two yellow, two purple, and one black.
Suddenly, Ye Qiu's first soul ring (Divine Might) and Qian Renxue's second soul ring (Wings of Nothingness) lit up.
The six wings behind them moved without wind, ripples spreading through the surrounding space.
With its flapping, the entire six-winged angel began to appear and disappear
, seemingly tearing through space and entering another dimension.
Finally, the six-winged angel vanished into the void, visible yet intangible. Its
previously closed eyes
suddenly snapped open! A beam of blood-red light shot from its eyes,
seemingly piercing through space and traversing distance,
instantly landing on the stone table in the center of the secret chamber.
The space around it began to collapse and distort without a sound,
as if a gust of wind had passed .
The stone table instantly turned to ashes, leaving a semi-circular crater on the ground.
Strangely, not a trace of ash could be seen inside the crater or on the surrounding ground.
As Qian Renxue opened her eyes on the bed, the six-winged angel phantom above her vanished.
The two figures returned to the same space.
Looking at Ye Qiu, who was so close, holding her in his arms, his eyelashes trembling,
Qian Renxue remained silent for a moment.
Her body temperature rose slightly; she pursed her lips and slowly lowered her head, her red lips about to touch hers.
But Ye Qiu had already released her.
She gritted her teeth and quickly raised her head, glaring at Ye Qiu resentfully, before quickly standing up, her body feeling weak.
The weight on her body disappeared, and Ye Qiu, whose back was slightly damp, opened his red-purple eyes, exhaled a breath of stale air, and deactivated his martial soul.
"Looks pretty powerful!"
"Don't go over there!"
Having composed herself, Qian Renxue was about to go forward to check the damage caused by their martial soul fusion technique
when Ye Qiu grabbed her hand.
"What's wrong?" The flush that had just subsided was starting to rise again.
"Look."
Ye Qiu looked at the half-eaten stone bench left at the edge of the pit and fired a Rasengan.
*Bang!* The bench was sent flying.
It didn't fall into the pit, but instead, upon touching the edge, slowly turned to dust and disappeared without a trace.
"Wow! When will it dissipate?"
Qian Renxue hadn't expected the effect of this attack to be so terrifying, and it was still working.
"It should dissipate in about half an hour!" Ye Qiu pulled her to sit down on the edge of the bed.
After a moment of silence, Qian Renxue turned to look at Ye Qiu.
"How about a name? Do you have any ideas?"
"Hmm, let's call it Angelic Annihilation Divine Light!"
"Great! That's a good name."
Qian Renxue nodded in agreement, then looked at him curiously, a faint blush spreading across her face, her voice becoming noticeably softer.
"By the way, why aren't you leaving today?"
"I need your help!"
Ye Qiu looked at her earnestly. He needed Qian Renxue's power to force Tang Hao to leave Soto City!
"Hmph! I knew it."
Qian Renxue snorted coldly, the pink on her face vanishing instantly, replaced by an ugly expression. She
reached out and flung Ye Qiu's hand back, which he had forgotten to let go of. ( End of Chapter)
