It didn't take long.
Looking at his Xiao Qiu being wantonly violated by the two women,
Xiao Wu, looking unhappy, quickly dried herself and got dressed.
"Xiao Qiu~!"
Hearing her sarcastic voice,
Ye Qiu propped himself up, escaping the gentle embrace.
He kissed the two women again as a farewell.
"Rongrong, Zhuqing, you two should rest well tonight; we have to hunt souls tomorrow morning!"
"Okay! I know," Zhu Zhuqing said, lowering her head and pulling up her clothes.
Her face was flushed, and her neck was still pink.
Ning Rongrong, who had gone even further, lay on the bed, her face red.
Her face was slightly flushed, a hint of intoxication in her expression.
"Rongrong, you went too far!"
Xiao Wu glared at Ning Rongrong, picked up a tissue from the bedside table, and wiped Ye Qiu's face, hands, and neck.
There were still a few teeth marks on his neck.
Zhu Zhuqing nodded in agreement.
It was incredibly bold of her to directly grab Ye Qiu's hand and do something indescribable.
Ning Rongrong remained silent, her long legs crossed, a silly grin on her face.
"Ahem~ Alright, that's enough for now!" Ye Qiu awkwardly interrupted them.
After all, it takes two to tango.
Without his cooperation, Ning Rongrong wouldn't be able to get excited.
"Hmph~" Xiao Wu snorted coldly, picked up the blanket, and covered the disheveled Ning Rongrong.
Ye Qiu channeled the extreme fire from his Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, his palms becoming incredibly hot. He dried Xiao
Wu's hair, starting from the top of her head and working along her hair strands.
He didn't forget Zhu Zhuqing either, drying her hair in the same way.
As for Ning Rongrong, there was nothing he could do now, since she hadn't washed up yet.
"Xiao Qiu~ Let's go!"
Without tying her hair up, she let her long, flowing hair fall loose and hugged Ye Qiu's arm.
A gentle smile graced her face, like a lotus emerging from water.
Her voice was soft and sweet, indescribably obedient and clever.
"Okay!" Ye Qiu nodded. "Zhu Qing, Rong Rong, I'll be leaving now!"
"Okay!"
Zhu Zhu Qing nodded slightly.
Ning Rong Rong, who had just come to her senses from under the covers and was extremely embarrassed, also made a muffled sound.
Ye Qiu's eyes flashed with the red and purple Eternal Kaleidoscope.
A flash of blood-red light appeared in his eyes, and his divine power space swept out.
The two figures disappeared from the room.
...
To save time tonight
, Ye Qiu had already made preparations yesterday afternoon.
After sparring with Zhu Zhu Qing, he went to the Star Dou Great Forest.
He went deeper and deeper into it.
The trees that blocked out the sky blocked out the bright moon, not letting in a single ray of moonlight.
But the Star Dou Great Forest did not seem dark.
It was full of plants that emitted a faint glow, and some glowing insects flew in the air.
It made the forest very beautiful.
But the roars and screams that came from inside from time to time told of the danger here.
In a clearing surrounded by giant trees, Ye Qiu's figure appeared first.
Looking around and finding no danger,
a transparent spatial vortex appeared, and a graceful figure appeared before Ye Qiu.
"Xiao Qiu~" As soon as she appeared, he couldn't wait to rush into his lover's arms. He
gently inhaled Ye Qiu's scent and the long-lost air of the Star Dou Great Forest.
He felt completely relaxed.
"Alright, Xiao Wu! Let's go inside first!" He pushed away Xiao Wu's face, which was trying to kiss him.
Although Ye Qiu also enjoyed her cherry lips and gentleness,
he should still be mindful of the occasion.
"Okay~" She rolled her eyes at him and left Ye Qiu's embrace.
Looking at the surrounding environment, her crimson eyes sparkled.
"Then let's go!"
In a much better mood, Xiao Wu took Ye Qiu's hand and was about to walk inside.
"Wait a minute!" Ye Qiu called out to her.
Xiao Wu turned around and looked curiously at the tiger-headed, tiger-like soul beast that had suddenly appeared in front of her.
It was pure white, with an excellent appearance, and had transparent wings on its back that clung tightly to its body.
Its emerald green eyes revealed an innocent and serene look, clear and peaceful.
Upon appearing, it was very affectionate towards Ye Qiu, constantly rubbing its large head against him.
"Xiao Qiu~ What's this?"
Xiao Wu looked curiously at this somewhat unusual soul beast, so friendly with humans.
"Ah~"
With a gasp, Ye Qiu scooped her up onto its back.
"This is my pet, I guess." Ye Qiu
climbed on top, sitting behind Xiao Wu, his arms around her waist.
With a slight squeeze of his legs, the tiger understood and slowly walked forward.
This tiger was none other than the Jade-Eyed Cloud-Winged Tiger.
Ye Qiu returned to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and, seeing it all alone, took it with him.
"Xiao Wu, don't conceal your aura!"
"Okay, I know!"
Xiao Wu nodded gently, stroking the soft fur of the tiger beneath her, releasing her own aura.
"Roar~" Tiger let out a low growl, his legs suddenly feeling weak.
For the next while, Ye Qiu focused intently, activating his Sharingan and guiding Tiger carefully forward.
Xiao Wu quietly held Ye Qiu's hand as he held her, nestled in his arms, and smiled sweetly.
"Xiao Wu~ Do you know what I need Da Ming and Er Ming for?" With
the soft jade in his arms, Ye Qiu decided to talk to Xiao Wu first. If she was unwilling, he would have to find another way.
"I know!" Xiao Wu answered softly, tilting her head and looking at him seriously, a hint of a smile in her eyes.
"Don't worry, Xiao Qiu, I will support you!"
"Thank you~" Ye Qiu also lowered his head and met her gaze.
Xiao Wu did not avoid his blood-red eyes. She liked this feeling of being filled with Xiao Qiu.
Filled to the brim.
Pink mist rose in her crimson eyes, and her expression became intoxicated.
Her rosy lips began to open and close, and they kissed.
Tiger, sitting on the ground, also stopped knowingly.
"Roar~!"
In the distance, a loud roar suddenly came, and even the layers of trees could not stop the sound from soaring into the sky.
Tiger suddenly staggered and trembled.
Ye Qiu and Xiao Wu also regained their senses.
Lifting her head, Xiao Wu's red lips were slightly swollen, glistening.
Her pretty face was rosy and delicate.
She softly leaned into Ye Qiu's arms, letting him straighten her torn clothes.
"It's here! Er Ming."
The ground trembled slightly, and trees ahead continued to fall.
Ye Qiu's gaze fell upon a gigantic creature, several meters tall, approaching.
Its footsteps seemed quick and hurried
, scattering and pushing its way through the crowd.
"Yes! It's it." Xiao Wu snuggled closer to Ye Qiu, listening to his heartbeat.
She had no objection to Ye Qiu's plan.
She trusted Ye Qiu, and she also trusted the strength of Da Ming and Er Ming.
She also remembered how Tang Hao had tried to kill her Xiao Qiu.
Tang San had also attacked him several times, trying to kill him.
She had long wanted to kill Tang Hao to avenge Xiao Qiu!
"Roar!"
The violent roar made Ye Qiu's ears ring.
Frowning, he hugged Xiao Wu tighter.
He retracted the trembling tiger cub, and before doing so, he stuffed some top-grade herbs into its mouth.
Boom!
The head of a gigantic ape-like creature appeared above Ye Qiu.
The giant tree in front of them collapsed to both sides, and the bright moonlight finally shone on the ground.
In just an instant, the moon was obscured again.
A huge black shadow enveloped Ye Qiu and Xiao Wu.
Bang!
The giant tree fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust and a gust of wind.
Blue, shoulder-length, tousled hair danced in front of Ye Qiu's eyes.
Xiao Wu buried her head in Ye Qiu's arms, avoiding the gust of wind. His
blood-red eyes finally saw the full appearance of the Titan Giant Ape before him.
In mid-air,
it seemed as if two golden lanterns were hanging, flashing.
It appeared to be entirely black, with a massive body.
Every part of it was full of power, its bulging muscles like small hills, harder than granite.
Ye Qiu stared at it blankly.
Such terrifying aura and physique.
Ye Qiu estimated that if he charged in with his Susanoo now, it would probably only be a matter of time before it was easily defeated.
Even if it stood there and he tried to use Kamui to shake its head, he might not be able to.
It would probably take quite a while for him to use Amaterasu to burn it!
This was one of the overlords of the Star Dou Great Forest. A
100,000-year-old soul beast, the Titan Giant Ape Erming!
Whether it was speed, strength, or defense, it was unparalleled, with no obvious weaknesses.
Except for its brain.
Ye Qiu remembered that Erming didn't seem to have learned to speak human language yet?
"Roar~!"
The Titan Giant Ape's two huge iron fists pounded its solid chest muscles.
It roared at the bright moon in the sky, expressing its joy.
Then it bent over, lowered its head, and roared at Ye Qiu.
Its eyes, however, were fixed on the girl in his arms.
With each breath, it exhaled a considerable hurricane.
Ye Qiu's hair flew wildly, and his face darkened.
What arrogance!
"Er Ming, you're so noisy!" Xiao Wu poked her head out and shouted at it.
"Roar!"
With her speaking, Er Ming indeed quieted down a lot.
But its gaze was fixed on Ye Qiu, who was holding Xiao Wu in its arms.
A pressure came over Ye Qiu, and cold sweat broke out on his back.
He looked at it with some surprise.
This guy could actually control its gravity field so precisely!
Xiao Wu was so close to it, yet it wasn't affected.
But his condition couldn't escape Xiao Wu's eyes at all.
"Er Ming! You're not allowed to touch him~ Believe me or not, Xiao Wu will beat you up!" Xiao Wu spread its arms and blocked Ye Qiu.
"Roar~"
Just a soft roar made Ye Qiu
's ears ring. It withdrew its gaze from Ye Qiu and slowly squatted down.
Fortunately, there were no trees around it anymore.
Otherwise, it would have been in big trouble.
Its lantern-like eyes even showed a hint of doting.
"Er Ming, long time no see!" Xiao Wu patted Er Ming's fingernails on the ground,
a hint of nostalgia on her face.
Ye Qiu stood quietly behind her, watching their exchange.
He couldn't understand Er Ming's shouts.
"I know, I missed you and Daming too," Xiao Wu kept replying.
"I'm doing very well now, very happy," Xiao Wu said, turning back to look at Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu smiled back.
Then, Xiao Wu's next sentence almost crushed him.
"Although some people bully me..."
"Roar!" Hearing this, Er Ming roared and tried to grab Ye Qiu.
"Damn it!" The sudden movement startled Ye Qiu, his face turning pale.
The furrows on that hand could bury him.
"Stop! You idiot Er Ming, I'm not talking about him. He's... he's your brother-in-law!"
Xiao Wu quickly stepped in front of Ye Qiu again.
Erming froze again, scratching his head in confusion.
He let out a low growl of bewilderment,
seemingly not quite understanding his brother-in-law's meaning.
Xiaowu blushed, grabbed Ye Qiu's arm, and tapped him on the cheek.
"He's the man your sister Xiaowu found!"
Seeing the usually fierce Xiaowu now acting like a little bird, nestled against a human,
Erming was stunned, his eyes frozen.
Then his pupils dilated, his gaze turning hostile, and he growled at him.
Confused, he then growled at Xiaowu, as if questioning her.
"Erming! Xiaoqiu is very good to me. He already knows my identity. You're not allowed to talk about him like that anymore, or I won't talk to you anymore!"
Xiaowu frowned, her words silencing his growl.
His eyes, however, remained fixed on Ye Qiu.
Seeing Xiaowu tug
at him, Ye Qiu looked up, waved, and greeted him.
"Hello! Erming, my brother-in-law!"
"Roar~" It let out a soft roar, turning its massive head to the side.
Hot air billowed from its nostrils.
"Hehe." Ye Qiu chuckled awkwardly.
"Alright, Erming, take us to see Daming!"
Hearing Xiao Wu's words, Erming glanced at Ye Qiu, its movements hesitant.
"Hurry up!"
Only after Xiao Wu's repeated urging did it lower its paw.
"Xiao Qiu~ Let's go!" Xiao Wu happily took Ye Qiu's hand, and together they leaped into Erming's palm, then were placed on its broad shoulders.
Rumble!
Erming began to move, heading towards the Lake of Life.
The journey was somewhat bumpy, so Ye Qiu sat cross-legged, and Xiao Wu also sat in his lap.
The howling wind and Erming's disgruntled roars filled their ears.
Soon, the surrounding environment became much quieter.
The trees were much thicker than those outside, all taller than Erming.
Xiao Wu opened her arms, somewhat nostalgic for this feeling.
The warmth emanating from her waist and back was also captivating.
On Er Ming's shoulder, Ye Qiu looked into the distance and saw a bright pearl magnified.
As they drew closer, Ye Qiu realized that the pearl, emitting a faint halo, was the Lake of Life where Da Ming resided!
"Roar~!"
Even from a distance, Er Ming roared joyfully,
relaying the good news of Xiao Wu's return to Da Ming. The
calm lake surface suddenly rippled, then churned.
Splash! Splash!
A pair of enormous bull horns slowly rose from the lake's surface.
Then came the entire head, its diameter estimated at least four meters.
Below it connected to a section of a dark blue-black snake body, several times thicker than a water vat.
Two lantern-like eyes blinked, looking towards Er Ming.
"Er Ming, Xiao Wu, and humans!"
The Azure Bull Python's voice carried an ancient, weathered aura, grand and extraordinary.
Those bright, intelligent eyes caught sight of Ye Qiu on Erming's shoulder.
"Daming!" Xiaowu waved to it, her face beaming with smiles.
Thump! Thump!
With a few loud thuds, Erming quickly arrived at the lakeside and carefully placed Ye Qiu and Xiaowu down.
"Daming, long time no see!"
"Roar~"
Xiaowu's voice was drowned out by Erming's roar.
Erming pointed at Ye Qiu and Xiaowu, gesturing to Daming.
"
Erming, why did you interrupt my greeting with Daming?!" Xiaowu glared at it, punching it, but her own hand went numb from the impact.
"Brother-in-law?!"
When Erming's voice subsided, Daming was also somewhat stunned.
Looking at the two holding hands on the ground, his expression hardened.
"Xiaowu, he..."
"Erming is right, his name is Ye Qiu, and I... I'm already his wife!"
Xiaowu waved her hand holding Ye Qiu's, a smile on her face.
"But...he's human?!"
"I can be one too!" Xiao Wu's words left Da Ming speechless.
Indeed, her Xiao Wu sister would become a living human.
She was no longer the same as them.
Slowly, her gaze swept over Ye Qiu, her large eyes filled with scrutiny.
Ye Qiu was also looking at this, currently the strongest being in the Star Dou Great Forest.
A 100,000-year-old soul beast, the Azure Bull Python.
Its soul power was immense, and its body's exact length was unknown.
"Da Ming, hello there." Ye Qiu greeted him with a smile.
Despite his smile, Da Ming's voice was anything but friendly.
"Human! You shouldn't be here!"
"Roar!" Er Ming chimed in.
"Da Ming, Xiao Qiu meant no harm—he came here for me!"
"For Sister Xiao Wu?" Da Ming looked at him strangely, somewhat puzzled.
Ye Qiu's words dispelled its doubts and filled it with fear and lingering dread!
"Xiao Wu's identity has been discovered by a Title Douluo!"
There were no hidden agendas; Ye Qiu's time was limited.
He didn't care whether his two brothers-in-law were willing to acknowledge him as their brother-in-law.
There was plenty of time later; he could take it slow!
"What! Discovered by a Title Douluo! Sister Xiao Wu, are you alright?"
Da Ming's shocked voice rang out, its body churning in the water, splashing water and spreading ripples.
"Roar!" Er Ming also pounded its chest and roared in anger.
Its mind was simple; all it wanted now was to tear that Title Douluo to shreds.
"Don't worry, Sister Xiaowu is still standing right in front of you, isn't she?"
Xiaowu spun around and leaned against Ye Qiu.
"Besides, look! I can completely conceal my aura now. It's all thanks to Xiaoqiu!"
A blood-red light suddenly appeared on Xiaowu's body, and the aura of a soul beast disappeared without a trace.
Da Ming's bull head twitched twice, observed for a while, and then withdrew its gaze.
Its gaze towards Ye Qiu softened considerably.
"Since that's the case, are you sending Sister Xiaowu back here so she can stay?"
"...After things are over, if Xiaowu is willing, it's not impossible!"
Ye Qiu was also stunned for a moment, glanced at Xiaowu, and still gave his answer.
"Ah? Xiaoqiu~ How can that be?" Xiaowu immediately became unhappy.
Xiaoqiu has so many women around him. What if he forgets about her and gets seduced by other women if she doesn't come with him?
"Sister Xiaowu,"
Da Ming's eyes were somewhat disappointed, while Er Ming roared in a low voice.
"Da Ming, Er Ming, don't be like this. Xiao Qiu's soul skill is very convenient. I can come to see you often in the future!"
Xiao Wu hugged Ye Qiu, looking at him pitifully.
"Xiao Qiu~ you will help me, right? I still want to stay by your side."
"Didn't I just say it's up to you? As for sending you back to see Da Ming and the others, it won't take much time!"
Ye Qiu put one arm around her and placed the other hand on her head, gently rubbing it.
His Divine Might was indeed a powerful tool for traveling, with many advantages. Less time, less energy consumption…
"Roar?" Er Ming's voice was filled with surprise.
"Of course it's true, Er Ming!"
Da Ming was much more rational, but still a little confused.
"What kind of soul skill is it?"
"You'll know when we leave! Hehe." Xiao Wu smiled brightly, not intending to tell them now.
Da Ming frowned slightly, but didn't dwell on it too much. Its sister Xiao Wu wouldn't lie to it. A
sense of joy also welled up in its heart.
"Then what about the human?"
"Da Ming! Stop calling her 'human,' Xiao Qiu has a name!"
"Hehe, it's alright!" Ye Qiu patted her back, trying to calm her down.
"Ye Qiu." Forced by circumstances, Da Ming had no choice but to change her address. "What was the matter you mentioned before?"
"The Title Douluo who knows Xiao Wu's soul beast identity will soon enter the Star Dou Great Forest, and I want you to help kill him!"
"Kill a Title Douluo!?" Da Ming's voice was somewhat shocked.
"That's right. As long as he's not eliminated, Xiao Wu's identity will be more likely to be exposed, and I already have a fairly complete plan to lure him into the depths of the forest!"
As soon as Ye Qiu finished speaking, Er Ming beside him began to pound his chest in frustration.
It was clear that he had already agreed.
But the smarter Da Ming was considering things more carefully, but he didn't refuse.
"I want to see your plan first!"
Ye Qiu chuckled. It seemed that Xiao Wu still held a lot of importance in their hearts.
"Tomorrow, the son of that Title Douluo will be going into the Star Dou Great Forest with us to hunt souls, and that Title Douluo has been secretly protecting him!"
Hearing the words "hunt souls," Da Ming and Er Ming felt a little unhappy,
but they didn't think much of it.
Da Ming, having heard this, had already figured out Ye Qiu's general plan. He
also vaguely understood why the Title Douluo hadn't made a move against Xiao Wu yet.
Without any suspense, Da Ming agreed to help.
Boom!
A loud noise suddenly came from the lakeside, and the ground covered with thick, fresh grass sank.
Ye Qiu looked up at Er Ming's still somewhat dazed eyes.
"Er Ming, I need you to help me put some things away!"
"Roar?"
"Xiao Qiu, what are these iron pillars for? And so many iron balls?" Xiao Wu was also startled.
"Huh, Ye Qiu, what are these?" Da Ming was also a little confused; he had only activated his martial soul, and these things had suddenly appeared.
"This is called an Italian cannon!" Ye Qiu smiled and patted the hollow iron pillar next to him.
"Oh, right, I also brought a gift for Erming!"
"Roar?"
Under the curious gazes of Erming and the others, Ye Qiu activated the flight soul skill of his Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone, soaring high into the air.
Then, he activated his divine might, creating a vortex that caused a loud explosion on the ground, shaking the surrounding area.
Erming's eyes suddenly lit up with excitement.
