Looking at Qian Renxue who was leaning closer,
Ye Qiu couldn't help but reach out and place his hand on her smooth forehead.
"Are you alright?"
Feeling the warmth of Ye Qiu's palm,
Qian Renxue's exquisite face blossomed like a red flower, her delicate features flushed.
Every time they made contact, she would become somewhat unsettled.
Her eyes flickered, and she suddenly regretted her impulsiveness.
But it was already here!
The die was cast! *
Slap!* She slapped Ye Qiu's hand away
, turned her head away, and quickly straightened up, not daring to look at him.
Her voice was somewhat hurried.
"Quickly tell me your answer!"
Ye Qiu stared intently at her serious expression, a forced smile appearing on his lips, and helplessly spread his hands.
"Don't joke around, your status is beyond my reach."
"Status?"
Qian Renxue frowned at him.
"You even dared to lay a hand on the future heir of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School! Do you really care about status?"
His eyes slowly turned dangerous.
This excuse was truly lame!
Hearing this, Ye Qiu awkwardly dropped his smile and became much more serious.
"I'm sorry! I really can't agree to your condition!"
He had finally decided to be a scumbag and be clear about it.
He wanted to take responsibility for the girls and give Xiao Wu and the others a warm home.
Ye Qiu didn't want to let go now!
After he finished speaking, the secret room fell silent.
The two looked at each other, trying to read something from each other's eyes.
Qian Renxue stared at him, her face flushed mostly with anger.
She clenched her fists.
She hadn't expected him to refuse so decisively.
Then, a sense of shame quickly welled up in her heart.
Damn it! He refused!
How was she going to explain this to him?
After taking a deep breath, Qian Renxue, trying to appear calm, turned away, her face quickly turning red with embarrassment.
She was going crazy inside!
She should have known better than to bring up this condition!
Her clever mind was working frantically, as if she had thought of something.
Her golden eyes lit up.
In the blink of an eye,
her breathing gradually became steady, and she spoke calmly and unhurriedly.
It was as if nothing had happened.
"Alright! Since you don't agree, let's leave it at that for now!"
"Huh?" Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow, quite surprised.
This change of heart was too fast! So frivolous?!
"Actually, this is the Hall of Offerings' idea. Your martial soul and the six-winged angel have a high compatibility. This is just to bind your martial soul to my Qian family's warship!"
"So, you don't need to take this condition to heart at all!"
Qian Renxue turned around, already back to her calm and composed demeanor.
She felt a little smug; this explanation was quite reasonable, wasn't it?
Besides, she wasn't lying; that was exactly how it was!
This wasn't her idea; she had originally disagreed!
But Ye Qiu's reaction made her uneasy again.
"Is that so? I thought..."
Hearing his voice, Qian Renxue's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately blushed and interrupted him.
"What...what do you think?! Do you think I'd fall for a womanizer like you? I, Qian Renxue, would never share a husband with another woman!"
She glared at Ye Qiu, her voice icy.
"Don't even think about it!"
"Yes, I understand!" Ye Qiu nodded calmly.
He knew Qian Renxue's pride and arrogance. Although
she was indeed
very beautiful, rich, fair-skinned, and powerful,
he had even considered using some low-class tactics
like seducing her to achieve goals such as obtaining the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. But those were just thoughts. He couldn't handle this woman! Seeing Ye Qiu nod, Qian Renxue gritted her teeth again. You understand? You understand nothing! She didn't know how this guy managed to seduce women! "Since you understand, then don't overthink it!" Her eyes gradually turned colder. She stopped dwelling on the condition she had impulsively proposed earlier. "Alright! Let's get serious! That wasn't my suggestion, so it doesn't count! My condition is that I need you to help me hunt souls!" After emphasizing again that the previous condition was irrelevant to her, Qian Renxue stated what she originally wanted. "Hunting souls? You have two Title Douluos with you, wouldn't they be more suitable and efficient for this kind of work than me?" Ye Qiu looked at her in surprise. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Qian Renxue's teasing gaze, and his heart skipped a beat, his expression changing. 'His secret has been discovered!' The next moment, Qian Renxue confirmed his inner thoughts. "You did hide it very well!" "If it weren't for the fact that when we were verifying compatibility, the Prickly Puff and the others saw your soul ring configuration, your strange first condition, and Dugu Yan's fourth ring, I would never have discovered that you have such an ability!" Qian Renxue sat back down at the table, picked up her tea and took a small sip. When facing Ye Qiu, who was younger than her and had lower soul power, yet could defeat her... She enjoyed the feeling of being superior to Ye Qiu, and she also liked his surprised expression. "When verifying compatibility?" Ye Qiu was taken aback; he hadn't even noticed this.
"That's right! It was back then, your purplish-black spirit ring configuration was truly unbelievable!"
Qian Renxue exclaimed in amazement as she looked at him.
Resting her chin on one hand and holding a teacup in the other, she glanced at Ye Qiu with a hint of anticipation.
"Could I see it?"
"Hmph~ No need for that!"
Ye Qiu sighed helplessly after a moment of silence, politely
declining her request to see it.
Since she already knew, there was no need for him to hide it anymore.
"I can indeed help others obtain spirit rings beyond their current age, but I can't help you with yours!"
"What do you mean by that?"
Qian Renxue narrowed her long, sharp eyes and slammed her teacup on the table.
Not only would he not let her see it, but he had also decisively rejected her again.
She felt a surge of anger and sadness.
A hint of melancholy appeared between her brows, and her voice lowered considerably.
"Are you unwilling to help me?"
"Of course I'm not unwilling, after all, this is a condition I promised you before. It's just that my current ability isn't enough to acquire a soul ring older than 20,000 years!"
Ye Qiu waved his hand, indicating his inability to help.
Qian Renxue's next soul ring is the sixth ring, and the maximum age of soul rings she can absorb is 20,000 years.
At most, he can only control soul beasts of about 15,000 years for sacrifice.
"I see!" Qian Renxue's tone softened considerably, and the tea at her lips tasted slightly sweet again.
"It's alright! I'm only level 58 now, there's still time for you to grow. It's fine as long as you're willing to help! But... there are some things I need to make clear to you first!"
She understood Ye Qiu's difficulties.
Suddenly, her tone changed.
Her delicate hand, enveloped in soul power, was raised high.
Bang!
Suddenly,
the stone table was struck by Qian Renxue with a crisp sound.
She stood up abruptly, looking at Ye Qiu with hostility.
"Damn it! What are you doing?"
Her sudden action startled Ye Qiu. She ignored
him coldly, and five spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and one black—rose beneath her feet.
The six-winged angel martial spirit immediately appeared and possessed her.
Her long golden hair was enveloped in a golden light.
Six wings unfurled behind her, and a divine light illuminated the entire secret chamber.
As the fifth spirit ring flashed beneath her feet,
her wings fluttered gently.
In an instant, she appeared before Ye Qiu
, floating slightly off the ground.
She held a divine sword in her hand, its divine fire's heat subtly contained.
Like an ordinary sword, it was pressed against Ye Qiu's throat.
Ye Qiu, sensing no hostility, made no move.
He simply tilted his head slightly, looking at her with a hint of speechlessness.
"Can't you girls just talk things out? Why do you have to do this…"
"Ye Qiu! Don't lump me in with your women!"
Qian Renxue shouted sharply, feeling somewhat displeased.
His eyes, now a shimmering gold, shone brightly, appearing deep and solemn.
"Alright. So what do you want to say?" Ye Qiu frowned, offering no rebuttal.
Qian Renxue held her sword, her face expressionless, simply looking at Ye Qiu calmly.
"Ye Qiu! I know you have great talent! And many secrets, but I don't want you to lie to me!"
"Hey! What I said earlier was true, my current limit is 15,000."
"Don't speak yet!" She slightly pressed her sword against him, lifting his chin back, interrupting Ye Qiu.
"Qian Renxue! Don't go too far!" A bloodshot glint appeared in Ye Qiu's eyes, his Eternal Kaleidoscope appearing as he stared intently at her.
Just one glance, and Qian Renxue's face flushed slightly.
She quickly looked away, not daring to meet Ye Qiu's eyes.
"Hmph. Now I understand how you seduce women!"
Qian Renxue shifted her gaze, turning it towards Ye Qiu's neck, her words laced with mockery.
"Heh! Xue Ke has never seen my eyes!" Ye Qiu wasn't entirely without temper either, sneering as he directly retaliated.
"You bastard, are you still so smug?" Qian Renxue's expression changed, and a few rays of light flickered on the Holy Sword.
The holy fire within was about to burst forth.

"I've never been proud of this, but you are! What exactly do you want to say!" Ye Qiu replied coldly.
"What do I want to say?" Qian Renxue's lips curled into a cold smile.
"I just wanted to give you a heads-up. You should understand what our Spirit Hall's purpose is, right?"
After a moment of contemplation, Ye Qiu did not answer.
This question was already obvious from Qian Renxue's actions of infiltrating the Heavenly Dou Sect and impersonating the Crown Prince!
"Heh. Since you understand, do you think we will be enemies in the future?"
"Who can say for sure about the future!" Ye Qiu's eyes flashed; he was also somewhat uncertain about the future of the continent.
Some things had changed slightly from what he knew.
Not receiving a definite answer from Ye Qiu, Qian Renxue gripped her sword tighter.
"Ye Qiu! Although your martial soul is very compatible with the Six-Winged Angel, if you ever dare to stand against me, I won't let you off!"
"Hmm, I understand! Now that you're done talking, shouldn't you take your sword away?"
Ye Qiu didn't doubt Qian Renxue's words.
He extended two fingers to push her sacred sword away.
"You'd better take my words to heart. Also,"
Qian Renxue still didn't take the sword away, but pouted, a hint of shyness appearing on her face, and paused in her words.
Her gaze fell on Ye Qiu's face, her tone losing its previous sharpness and harshness.
"I advise you to settle down and stop looking for women, otherwise you'll regret it someday and have to dump them!"
"Hey! Why are we back to this topic again?" Ye Qiu's Sharingan was already closed, and his gaze towards Qian Renxue was somewhat strange.
As a woman, she could change her expression quickly, which Ye Qiu could understand.
But this topic jumped around a bit too fast; he couldn't keep up!
"Hmph! What kind of look is that? I was just worried you might do something rash and turn against me, so I'm just giving you a way out. Marry me, and you'll be second only to me, with no one daring to touch you!"
Ye Qiu stared intently at her, those words sounding so familiar. It
seemed like these weren't meant for him.
A strange emotion slowly rose within him as he met her gaze, trying to discern something.
Ye Qiu's gaze caused several blushes to rise on Qian Renxue's face.
A golden light flashed around her, and the color faded instantly.
She quickly explained,
"Don't overthink it, I just value talent! Only your martial soul, talent, and strength are good enough for me! It can also greatly enhance the strength of my Martial Soul Hall!" "
Oh~" Unable to discern anything, Ye Qiu casually agreed.
The way out she mentioned
was one Ye Qiu would never take. Seeing his perfunctory and indifferent attitude again,
Qian Renxue's eyes narrowed, anger rising within her.
Her hand holding the Sacred Sword trembled.
*Snap! Snap! Snap !
* After a few crisp sounds,
the entire secret chamber fell silent.
Ye Qiu had stopped thinking.
He tilted his head, somewhat dazed.
He was completely frozen.
His mind went blank, and his right cheek was flushed.
Qian Renxue's Holy Sword was pressed against his face, and he could still feel the warmth of the Holy Fire. After only
a moment of silence ,
a loud, angry shout echoed throughout the secret chamber.
"Qian Renxue!!"
Realizing what had happened, Ye Qiu's fair face instantly darkened, the flush on his right cheek completely obliterated. Qian Renxue had actually slapped him a few times with the Holy Sword?! His eyes were bloodshot, and his soul power was stirring restlessly. "Puhahaha," Qian Renxue let out a rare, charming laugh, a bright and captivating laugh. But Ye Qiu had no time to appreciate it. He simply stared coldly at her, his body even tinged with blood. A blood-red skull was faintly visible. "What? You're activating your flawed Martial Soul True Body to hit me? Or to kill me?" Qian Renxue looked at him mockingly. A smile spread across her face as she sheathed her divine sword. She took a few steps back, her eyes filled with provocation. "Hoo~" Ye Qiu lowered his head and let out a long breath. "Not coming? You!" Qian Renxue's smug expression suddenly changed, a red glint flashing in her eyes, her body stiffening abruptly. When she regained her senses, Ye Qiu was already behind her, his hand raised high. Illusion!? Ye Qiu didn't speak, and Qian Renxue's face darkened. Just now, when Ye Qiu raised his head, she had been controlled by an illusion for a moment. "Ye Qiu! You dare?!" Feeling the palm wind coming from behind, Qian Renxue gritted her teeth, somewhat embarrassed and angry. She raised her Sacred Sword, immediately preparing to turn and attack. *Slap! * A crisp sound followed. Ye Qiu directly slapped her shapely buttocks. In an instant... The clouds shifted and changed unpredictably. *Whoosh!* Qian Renxue whirled around, unleashing a divine sword strike. *Bang!* Golden sword energy grazed Ye Qiu's body, striking the stone table behind him. The table was instantly cleaved in two with a deafening crash. "Ye Qiu! You're courting death!" Qian Renxue pointed her sword at him. Tears even welled in her eyes. The burning pain made her heart pound and her flesh tremble. Her face was filled with shame and indignation! No one had ever dared to treat her like this before! She had never suffered such humiliation! "Hmph! You hit me several times, I only hit you once. Considering you're a girl, I won't hold the extra hits against you; let's call it even!"
Ye Qiu, activating his divine power, stood fearlessly before Qian Renxue.
"We're even? I'm not done with you! If you've got the guts, fight me fair and square!"
Qian Renxue glared at him fiercely, her eyes even flashing with murderous intent.
"Alright, you can fight another time! I'm leaving!"
"You're not allowed to leave!"
Sensing two extremely powerful auras surging in from the secret passage,
Ye Qiu didn't want to cause any more trouble.
His divine power activated, and he vanished without a trace.
"Damn it!"
Bang! Qian Renxue unleashed another powerful sword strike, and the bed behind her exploded with another loud crash.
Clang!
The sound of porcelain hitting the ground caught Qian Renxue's attention.
There, on the ruined bed, lay a porcelain bottle.
Qian Renxue had just taken a step when her brows furrowed, and her steps faltered.
"Damn it! How dare they use such force!"
"Miss! Are you alright?" The two Title
Douluos burst into the secret chamber and appeared before Qian Renxue.
Looking at the now-scandalous chamber,
they already knew roughly what had happened.
Having learned from past mistakes, they dared not ask further.
Qian Renxue's face flushed even more; afraid of embarrassing herself, she dared not move another step.
"Serpent Spear! Pick up that bottle for me."
"Miss, here!"
Serpent Spear Douluo picked it up without a word and
handed it to Qian Renxue.
Taking the porcelain bottle, Qian Renxue opened it and sniffed it.
Her anger intensified.
"Alright, you two can leave!"
"Yes, Miss!"
After the two left,
Qian Renxue flapped her six wings, lifted herself a short distance off the ground, and slowly moved.
She opened a hidden door in the wall of the secret chamber and flew into her boudoir.
The interior decorations were mostly warm and elegant.
A soft bed was draped with purple gauze curtains.
Having released her martial spirit possession, she tried to sit down slowly, but tears welled in her eyes.
"Damn it!"
she cursed again, then lay down on the bed.
Looking at the ointment in her hand, she didn't apply it to her slightly asymmetrical buttocks.
Instead, she stared blankly.
'Ye Qiu! Don't you really have even the slightest feeling for me?! You ungrateful thing!'
...
Meanwhile, Ye Qiu had returned to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well Secret Realm.
"Yan Yan! Yan Yan?"
"Xiao Lan? Senior Dugu?"
After calling out a few times, Ye Qiu sensed Xiao Lan's location.
She was indeed no longer in the secret realm.
Ye Qiu frowned and immediately contacted Xiao Lan through the Life Seed within his body.
"Uh, this girl isn't asleep, is she?"
After a long silence, Ye Qiu called several more times.
"Brother, don't bother me~"
Finally, a slightly drowsy, soft voice rang in Ye Qiu's mind.
It seemed she really was asleep!
Ye Qiu shook his head, though he didn't know where they had gone.
At least safety isn't a concern.
They come quickly and go quickly.
Ye Qiu formed hand seals, his figure slowly disappearing into the secret realm.
The night was alluring.
Shrek Academy, in a dormitory not far from the girls' dormitory.
Ye Qiu's figure appeared directly inside…
