Although neither Tang Hao nor his son had ever seen his martial soul,
and given his current appearance, they certainly wouldn't recognize him.
It was even uncertain whether Tang Hao would remember him as an insignificant ant from back then.
But after careful consideration, Ye Qiu still felt it would be safer and more convenient to drive Tang Hao out of Soto City.
"If you really don't want to help, I can use this as a third condition!"
Seeing Qian Renxue turn her back to him
, Ye Qiu had no choice but to use his previous condition to get her help.
"Hoo~" Qian Renxue took a deep breath, her eyes turning slightly cold.
'What an ungrateful wretch!'
She glanced back at Ye Qiu indifferently, then looked away.
"Let's talk about your matter first!"
"Actually, helping me is helping yourself!"
"What do you mean?"
Hearing Ye Qiu's words, Qian Renxue showed a hint of surprise.
"Haotian Douluo, Tang Hao!" Ye Qiu said in a deep voice.
"It's him!? You have a grudge against him?"
Hearing Tang Hao's name, Qian Renxue frowned in surprise.
"Indeed, he almost killed me!"
"..." Qian Renxue looked at him in astonishment. She couldn't understand how he could have offended a Title Douluo.
However, she wisely didn't ask further.
Since it involved the Title Douluo level, the secret was probably not simple.
"Do you know where he is now?"
"Yes, I know!" Ye Qiu nodded firmly.
"If it's about dealing with him, you can keep that condition! But you have to promise me one thing!"
Qian Renxue pondered for a moment, then made a condition of Ye Qiu.
Actually, even if Ye Qiu hadn't asked for her help, she would have acted if she knew his location.
But now Ye Qiu was clearly more anxious, so she wouldn't be polite to him.
There were some things she didn't know how to bring up with him.
"Hmm?" Ye Qiu was somewhat surprised. "As the young master of the Spirit Hall, do you still need one more condition from me?"
"Don't worry, whatever I ask you to do is definitely within your capabilities!"
Qian Renxue chuckled, tidying a stray strand of hair behind her ear.
"Alright!" Ye Qiu agreed after a moment's thought.
"Then tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"Actually, I only know a general location."
"Are you kidding me?" Qian Renxue glared at him, looking at him unfriendly.
"Why would I bother playing you like that?" Ye Qiu glanced at her speechlessly and continued.
"After your people arrive, regardless of whether they find or capture him, I want them to stay there for a while so that Tang Hao won't dare to approach!"
Ye Qiu ignored her and continued to state his requirements, adding a further point.
"Also, you must inform me before your people arrive at the destination!"
"Your requirements are really quite strange?"
She looked at him strangely, feeling as if another layer of mystery had been added to him, making him even less clear to her.
"How about it?"
"Alright, tell me the location!"
Qian Renxue agreed impatiently, rubbing her temples.
Her men couldn't handle it, so she had to write back to the Hall of Worship to call for reinforcements.
With her permission, Ye Qiu truthfully told her about Soto City.
He didn't dare reveal Tang San's identity now, especially since Xiao Wu was still at Shrek Academy.
He also didn't expect them to actually fight.
Tang Hao had managed to hide for so long; he must have some skills, and besides, the location he'd given was quite broad.
His goal had always been simply to drive Tang Hao out of Soto City!
As for killing him… Ye Qiu had already planned it out!
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave now. You should get some rest!"
"Get lost, get lost!"
Qian Renxue waved her hand dismissively.
Seeing this, Ye Qiu didn't linger any longer, activating his divine power and leaving.
Watching Ye Qiu disappear before her eyes, the blonde beauty on the bed couldn't help but smile slightly.
It made the dark secret room seem much brighter.
She slowly stood up, walked to the large pit in the middle, and placed her jade-like foot on the remaining half of the stool at the edge.
"Is there something important to him in Soto City? Or..."
...
Sunset Forest.
Ye Qiu's figure appeared in a clearing.
The night was past midnight, and the nocturnal soul beasts were still foraging, their howls echoing from time to time.
He formed hand seals and entered the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well Secret Realm.
He tiptoed past Dugu Yan's original room, leaned against the door and listened for a while, hearing two steady breaths coming from inside.
A gentle smile appeared on his face, and he silently returned to his room and lay down.
In the darkness, Ye Qiu stared at the ceiling, but he was not sleepy at all.
He didn't know what the situation would be like after he went to Soto City.
How should he face Xiao Wu, how should he explain to her...
"Sigh~" Ye Qiu put his hands behind his head and sighed deeply.
Click!
The door was gently pushed open.
A seductive figure swayed her hips and slowly walked in.
Bathed in moonlight, Dugu Yan's proud figure was draped in a thin veil.
The garment offered little concealment of her body, and a gentle breeze revealed glimpses of her fair skin.
"Yan Yan~"
"It's rare for you to come back so early. Why are you sighing all of a sudden? What's wrong?"
Dugu Yan helped Ye Qiu spread out the blankets, then squeezed herself inside, resting her head on his shoulder.
After taking Ye Qiu's hand and holding it to herself, she gently hugged him back.
"Tell me about it, mwah!"
Through Dugu Yan's thin veil of sleep, Ye Qiu could clearly feel her slender waist and her smooth skin.
Responding to her sweet kiss, he grasped her soft hand that was sliding against his body.
If he let her continue like this, he would inevitably arouse her again.
Seeing Ye Qiu's reproachful eyes, her fair face pressed against his cheek, the burning heat of which pleased Dugu Yan greatly.
"Hehe. Tell Yan Yan quickly~"
She whispered in Ye Qiu's ear, her voice soft and sweet, her heat intense.
"Okay, okay, stop being so stubborn!" Ye Qiu rolled his eyes at her, hugging her restless, soft body tightly to stop her from causing trouble.
"Okay! Whatever you say."
After adding a few more drops of moisture to Ye Qiu's face, Dugu Yan calmed down, leaning against him and quietly listening to his heartbeat.
Ye Qiu reached out and gently smoothed her hair, caressing her pretty face. He
confided his innermost thoughts to her.
He felt unsure how to explain things to Xiao Wu
… "…"
"So, do you regret taking responsibility for me?"
Dugu Yan grabbed Ye Qiu's collar, looking up at him, her green eyes appearing somewhat dim in the darkness.
"How could I! I'm very greedy." Ye Qiu gently touched her lips, then hugged her tighter.
"I don't want to let go of either of you! I won't let go!"
"That's good, otherwise I really would have poisoned you!" Dugu Yan leaned forward and gently bit Ye Qiu's cheek, leaving two rows of shallow teeth marks.
"Hmm, even if you poison me, I still won't let go!" Ye Qiu didn't react, just staring blankly at her. After a
moment of silence, a slight smile appeared on Dugu Yan's lips as she looked at Ye Qiu mysteriously.
"Hmm… well, how about I give you some advice?"
Dugu Yan knew, of course, that Ye Qiu wasn't that kind of person; she simply wanted to hear him express his love for her more.
This feeling intoxicated her, as if she were soaking in a honey pot.
"What trick?"
Ye Qiu looked at her curiously, while Dugu Yan quickly leaned close to his ear. Her
moist, warm breath filled his ear, and her suggestive words made Ye Qiu blush.
"Persuade!?"
Ye Qiu's Adam's apple bobbed, he swallowed hard, and looked at Dugu Yan in his arms in shock.
"Will this really work? We're still so young..."
"You have to believe in yourself, you can definitely do it!" Dugu Yan's pretty face was also flushed.
"Husband~ how about trying it with Yan Yan first?"
Her soft, trembling voice was captivating, and as she spoke, her actions became even more unrestrained.
Ye Qiu was still surprised by her method when she had already begun to act! He couldn't
stop her in time and gasped.
His head tightened, and his scalp tingled.

She reacted quickly.
"Ouch! Yan Yan, don't do anything rash, take your hand away!"
Ye Qiu's face flushed red as he grabbed her wrist, but he didn't dare to use too much force, afraid of hurting her.
"Hmph! I think you don't actually not want to consummate the marriage with me, but rather want to save your first time for that Xiao Wu!"
"How... how could that be?"
"You know in your heart whether it's true or not!"
Dugu Yan rolled her eyes at him, withdrew her hand, but the flush on her face didn't disappear so quickly.
Seeing Ye Qiu fall silent, she suppressed the slight disappointment in her eyes and hugged him again.
"I'm serious! This method will definitely work, making her your first woman in the truest sense! And you've been apart for so long... maybe she'll force you! Haha!"
She whispered in Ye Qiu's ear, thinking about Ye Qiu's attitude towards this kind of thing, and suddenly giggled.
Then she looked at him resentfully, feeling a little resentful. She also wanted to give herself to him completely as soon as possible!
Hearing her teasing, Ye Qiu blushed slightly.
"Yan Yan... I... I'll give you an explanation as soon as possible!"
"An explanation? I want it now, what am I going to do?" Dugu Yan looked at him leisurely, her eyes sparkling with desire.
"Ah!? Didn't you say you wanted me and Xiao Wu..."
"Hmph! You..." Dugu Yan snorted coldly, leaning close to Ye Qiu's ear, her words seeming to have taken all her strength.
Ye Qiu stared at her in shock, suddenly feeling a bit parched.
He let her hold his hand...
...
In Dugu Yan's room next door.
Hearing the strange sounds coming from beside her, Xiao Lan groggily opened her eyes.
"Is brother back?" Her little hand reached to the side, her ears twitching slightly.
"Sister Yan Yan's voice! She's so cunning, we agreed to each keep watch until midnight, but she didn't wake me up!"
Hugging her pillow, she opened the door and slowly walked towards Ye Qiu's room.
"What a strange sound! Is Sister Yan Yan injured?"
*Crack!*
"Xiao Lan! Ah~! You went out."
Xiao Lan had just poked her head in when she heard Dugu Yan's loud shout.
"Sister Yan? You're too much! How could you kick Xiao Lan out!"
Xiao Lan glared angrily at the two people lying in the blankets.
Seeing that Dugu Yan didn't react, her eyes were filled with confusion, and she seemed to be sobbing.
Rubbing her sleepy eyes, she slowly walked towards Ye Qiu.
"Brother, did you make Sister Yan cry?"
"Xiao Lan, why are you up?" Ye Qiu's face was extremely embarrassed, and he gave a wry smile without answering.
Dugu Yan buried her head in the blankets, her whole body was flushed pink, covered in sweat, and she was sobbing from time to time.
"Sister Yan woke me up!" Xiao Lan pouted and lay down on Ye Qiu's other side.
"Brother, where's your other hand?" Xiao Lan pulled Ye Qiu's hand, wanting him to hold her to sleep, but she couldn't pull him away.
"Hehe. I just got my forehead dirty, cough cough! No, your sister Yan Yan wants to hold me too!"
Before Ye Qiu could finish his sentence, Dugu Yan bit him. In pain, he coughed twice and changed his words.
"Oh? Goodnight, brother! Hmm?"
After giving him a goodnight kiss, she nestled in Ye Qiu's arms and suddenly sniffed, as if she smelled something strange.
Fortunately, Ye Qiu quickly activated his Blue Silver Fragrance to cover it up.
This prevented her from asking a question that would embarrass both of them.
Some time passed, and Xiao Lan was fast asleep again.
"Phew~" Ye Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.
Dugu Yan, too ashamed to show her face under the covers, peeked out, breathing in the still relatively cool air outside.
"You actually dared to dislike me!"
Her face still flushed, covered in a sea of flowers, her eyes alluring, and beads of sweat on her forehead.
"I...I didn't," Ye Qiu's voice trembled.
"Hmph! It's too hot, I'm going to take a shower."
She picked up her thin nightgown and rolled it around in Ye Qiu's hand
to wipe him down.
Her face flushed, she slowly got out of bed and tiptoed out of the room. As soon as she ran outside, a cool breeze made her feel chilly.
Ye Qiu also lifted a corner of the blanket, channeling the power of the extreme fire of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye within him. His palms turned crimson, and wisps of mist rose from the blanket.
One can only say, the "Add Money Hermit" was right!
Tonight, sleeplessness was inevitable.
...
The sun rose, and time slowly passed.
In a dilapidated village not far from the south gate of Soto City, Shrek Academy began its admissions work for the day.
At the village entrance, above a broken archway hung an old plaque with several crooked characters carved on it:
Shrek Academy!
Above it was the head of a green humanoid monster, looking quite green.
Behind a table by the entrance sat an old man, wearing a green medal on his chest.
He was Li Yusong, in charge of the first checkpoint, checking age and soul power.
A long queue had already formed in front of that table, most of the children accompanied by their parents.
Xiao Wu followed Tang San, with Zhu Zhuqing behind them, slowly walking towards the end of the queue.
"Tang San, is this the academy your teacher found?"
Looking at its dilapidated appearance, even though Xiao Wu didn't care much, she couldn't help but want to complain.
Was that useless master blind?!
Even Zhu Zhuqing beside her had some doubts about his teaching ability.
"Don't worry, this academy is absolutely fine. It's an academy that only accepts monsters!"
Tang San smiled slightly. He had already met the dean of this academy.
He was a powerful Soul Saint, a friend of his teacher, named Flander.
He hadn't expected that the seemingly stingy and slovenly middle-aged man would be the dean of an academy.
After some conversation, Tang San had gained some understanding of Shrek Academy.
Since they arrived a little later than in the original story...
In the distance, Li Yusong had already summoned his Martial Soul, the Dragon Pattern Staff!
Six spirit rings—white, yellow, purple, purple, and black—pulsated.
He was clearly a Soul Emperor.
Li Yusong waved his staff and loudly announced the application requirements for Shrek Academy.
Shrek is a monster, and the academy only recruits monsters! Applicants
must be no older than thirteen and have a spirit power level above twenty!
The application fee is ten gold spirit coins, non-refundable once applied!
After his intervention, the number of applicants dropped by eight or nine tenths.
"How about it, Xiao Wu? Even the teachers in charge of registration at this academy are Soul Emperors, it must be pretty good! Let's hurry."
Many people in the queue had moved forward, so Tang San immediately walked ahead.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes flashed with interest. She exchanged a glance with Xiao Wu, and the two of them slowly walked forward as well.
When the three of them reached the front, Dai Mubai, who had been waiting under the large tree by the table, also saw them.
Upon seeing Zhu Zhuqing, he habitually revealed a lewd expression, then his heart skipped a beat, and he looked at her in surprise.
"Huh? Do your family know you're here?" Li Yusong in front of him asked in surprise.
Standing in front of him was a girl with brown hair and dressed in green.
"They naturally know I can come out. May I ask, have I passed the preliminary test?"
The girl's voice was soft and pleasant, very approachable.
Tang San looked at her back, his expression changed. This girl was actually the one who had belittled the Tang Clan's hidden weapons!
Dai Mubai also noticed her, his eyes revealing a wolf-like glint, but then, as if remembering something, the color in his eyes disappeared. Little did he know
that Zhu Zhuqing had already noticed him, and the lewdness in his eyes naturally did not escape her notice.
"Scumbag!"
"Hmm?" Xiao Wu also followed her gaze, a hint of mockery on her face. "So it's that sick cat? Zhuqing, do you know him?"
"I've seen him a few times, but we're not close!"
The girl in green in front of him was naturally Ning Rongrong.
Soon, she passed the preliminary test and was led into the village to the second stage.
Next, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing had their bone ages checked and their martial souls released.
"Huh? I didn't expect your Blue Silver Grass to cultivate so quickly! Not bad, not bad!"
"You're actually a Soul Master!!"
"How is that possible? Your second ring is actually purple!!!"
Li Yusong's eyes widened; the shock from these three people was overwhelming.
"A second ring after a thousand years! How is that possible!" Tang San also stared at Zhu Zhuqing in shock.
He visited the Grandmaster every night, deeply influenced by him.
He naturally believed in his theories without question, but this scene before him!
This living example was right in front of him, making him waver in his belief in the Grandmaster's theories!
Xiao Wu, on the other hand, seemed relatively calm. She knew Ye Qiu's abilities; even Ye Qiu's first ring was purple!
"What? Am I not a monster?"
Zhu Zhuqing put away her martial soul and asked calmly.
"Just think about it! Compared to those two, you're the real monster!"
Li Yusong gave a wry smile, then cheered. This time, their academy had really struck gold!
"Alright, you all wait here for Mu Bai to return and take you inside!" (
