Faced with Meng Yiran's invitation, Ye Qiu didn't answer, but turned to look at Xiao Wu and the others.
"Hmph! Go ahead." Ning Rongrong tilted her head back, glancing at the somewhat nervous Meng Yiran. She
gave Ye Qiu a push, annoyed. She couldn't pretend
that Meng Yiran's earlier pleading with the Gaishi Longshe couple, even offering to stay and help them find Ye Qiu,
hadn't happened.
Zhu Zhuqing had no objections either; it was just a chat.
Besides, all three of them were there!
*Crunch!*
Xiao Wu bared her teeth at Ye Qiu, taking a big bite of the carrot in her hand.
It was as if she was warning him.
Unfortunately, it had no effect, only earning her a glare from Ye Qiu.
After all, this concerned her own happiness.
Ye Qiu didn't believe she would act recklessly; before, that rabbit had been eagerly seeking him out!
Watching this scene, Meng Yiran suddenly realized that
perhaps the most important thing to get closer to Ye Qiu wasn't winning him over, but also the opinions of his confidantes!
Thinking of this, Meng Yiran's flushed face burned again, and she nodded slightly to Ning Rongrong and the others.
"Thank you! Just now, wanting to be the 'big sister' wasn't my own idea."
Her face flushed, Meng Yiran clasped her arms together, highlighting her ample bosom, and clutched the hem of her dress, looking quite shy.
Under the curious, raised eyebrows of Ning Rongrong and the others
, she took a deep breath before laboriously uttering, "Actually, I'm a very traditional girl. If possible, I...I can be the 'small sister'..."
Meng Yiran's deep brown, bright eyes shimmered, misty with moisture, very alluring.
Her long eyelashes fluttered gently as she looked earnestly at Ning Rongrong and the others.
"Pfft, cough cough!" Hearing her words, Ning Rongrong almost choked on her own saliva.
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing also stared blankly at her.
Ye Qiu was even more stunned. "
You're too traditional!"
"Ye Qiu! Let's go over there." Her short, black hair partially obscured her face.
But that didn't stop her from clearly seeing her delicate, rosy face under the gradually brightening sky.
"Uh, Miss Meng! Slow down, it's too fast."
Under the envious gazes of Ma Hongjun and Oscar,
Ye Qiu, still in a daze, was dragged away by Meng Yiran, who was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do, towards a tree in the distance.
The two figures disappeared into the grove and disappeared from sight.
"I suddenly regret letting that stinky guy Ye Qiu go over there!"
Ning Rongrong looked at Meng Yiran's back with a bitter face.
"Yeah! She is indeed very difficult to deal with." Zhu Zhuqing also nodded.
Xiao Wu's scarlet eyes rolled: "How about... we go over too?"
...
"Old woman... did I hear that right? Yiran is going to be someone's concubine!?"
The Dragon King, who was sitting cross-legged under the tree, had already fallen his dragon-headed cane to the ground, still a little incredulous.
"You heard right... Sigh~! Yiran has grown up now." Chao Tianxiang seemed to have come to terms with it and sighed.
"Hmph! I think she's been blinded by male beauty!" Meng Shu snorted coldly, picking up his dragon-headed cane again.
His gaze swept over Xiao Wu and the other two who were quietly making their way into the grove.
He suddenly felt that being a concubine wasn't such a bad thing!
After all, being sisters with the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School wasn't bad either, beneficial to both the family and himself.
Of course,
everything was based on the premise that his granddaughter wouldn't be bullied.
...
Behind a large tree.
Meng Yiran pulled Ye Qiu here.
She held Ye Qiu's hand tightly, unwilling to let go.
So Ye Qiu stopped struggling and let her hold his hand.
Looking at the tall, mature girl who seemed a little afraid to look him in the eye, Ye Qiu slowly spoke: "Miss Meng, what would you like to talk to me about?"
Meng Yiran's large brown eyes were quite striking even in the shadows, reflecting Ye Qiu's blue pupils in their spring-like waves.
"Ye Qiu~" Her soft voice seemed to tug at his heartstrings as Meng Yiran held Ye Qiu's hand in front of her.
"..."
Ye Qiu looked at her strangely.
He felt that warmth, that gentle touch, and could even feel her heartbeat.
His face flushed slightly.
He hadn't felt this way in a long time!
Ye Qiu had initially thought he had developed a lot of resistance to these kinds of situations.
Now it seemed that it was mostly because he was too familiar with Xiao Wu and the others.
Meng Yiran's fingernails were turning white, her heartbeat was slowly accelerating, and she tilted her head slightly to meet Ye Qiu's gaze.
"Ye Qiu! Do you believe in love at first sight?"
"I... I should believe in it!" Ye Qiu turned his head away, not daring to look into her burning eyes.
Seeing Ye Qiu turn his head away, Meng Yiran frowned in disappointment, but still said very firmly: "I like you! I'm serious!"
"Yes! I know." Ye Qiu looked at her again and nodded in response.
He did know, and he had only just found out.
He and Xiao Wu had heard Meng Yiran begging Long Gong to come find him earlier.
During their last meeting, Ye Qiu initially thought she was just superficially attracted to him, but he never expected her to be so willing to risk her own safety for him.
"You really know?!" Meng Yiran took a step forward, her heart pounding, her neck flushed.
Ye Qiu's hands were also frozen in place, afraid to move, he took a small step back and nodded slightly: "Yes! Really."
"That's good!" Meng Yiran ignored his small gesture, a smile appearing on her face.
A young girl's feelings are always poetic.
To have her heart understood by the one she loves is naturally a cause for celebration!
Ye Qiu looked at her radiant smile, so content, and felt a little troubled.
"I'm sorry! Miss Meng, I already have..."
"I know! I know you already have several close female friends, but I don't mind! I can be your concubine."
This time,
Meng Yiran didn't back down because of Xiao Wu and the others.
During her time away from Ye Qiu, his image kept replaying in her mind,
as if it were deeply engraved in her heart and mind.
She couldn't help but think
, "Huh? Are you serious?" Ye Qiu looked at her, a little confused. Could she really accept something so quickly?
"Yes! What I said to He Rong and Sister Rongrong before was true!" Meng Yiran bit her lip, directly placing herself in the position of a younger sister.
Her big, unblinking eyes stared straight at Ye Qiu, not at all fake.
If she had any ulterior motives before,
after learning Ning Rongrong's identity, she no longer had those thoughts.
Apart from being a little older than Ning Rongrong, she had nothing to compare with her.
And even Ning Rongrong and the others were willing to serve Ye Qiu together.
Why couldn't she!
"So you don't need to reject me right now. We're still young, there will be opportunities in the future."
Meng Yiran held Ye Qiu's hand, her voice pausing.
Suddenly, she became shy, her face and heart burning, her body trembling slightly.
She gritted her teeth and said something that made Ye Qiu's blood pressure soar.
"Besides, I'm very flexible. I can do anything they can do, and I can do things they can't do. Don't believe me? Look! I can do anything!"
"Miss Meng,"
before Ye Qiu could finish, as if afraid he wouldn't believe her,
two yellow spirit rings rose from her feet, the second spirit ring suddenly shining brightly.
Second spirit skill, Snake Body!
Her whole body seemed boneless, twisting and turning, one beautiful leg raised high, almost swinging up her back.
"How was it!?"
After the demonstration, Meng Yiran, her body burning hot and flushed like a cooked shrimp, looked at Ye Qiu with great embarrassment.
She had made a lot of effort to say those words!
"…" Ye Qiu's forehead was sweating, and he felt inexplicably thirsty. He took a few deep breaths before recovering.
"Miss Meng, you really don't need to debase yourself like this for a womanizer like me."
"How is this degrading? It's just a wife satisfying her husband's needs, and I'm doing it willingly!"
Meng Yiran didn't think it was degrading at all.
Moreover, her premise was that it was just normal married life between husband and wife.
"…" Meng Yiran's words left Ye Qiu speechless for a moment. Seeing Ye Qiu
's speechless
expression, Meng Yiran very understandingly let go of his hands.
She put her hands behind her back, looking docile.
Her bright eyes were full of smiles.
"I've already said, you don't need to rush to respond! There's plenty of time, and I'll keep your secret!"
"Secret!?"
Ye Qiu moved his hands, which were a little numb from being squeezed, and suddenly paused when he heard her words.
He looked at her strangely.
As if he had thought of something, his expression became serious.
"What secret?"
"It's that skunk! I was worried about you when the explosion happened, so I glanced at you. When that guy fell, I saw your and Xiao Wu's expressions were a bit..."
When the gunpowder pack exploded in the distance, Meng Yiran had seen how the skunk entered because she glanced at Ye Qiu.
When Tang San fainted, she also saw Ye Qiu's cold smile and Xiao Wu's gloating expression.
At the same time, she also knew Tang San's identity; it must be very extraordinary.
Otherwise, her grandfather wouldn't have let Tang San absorb that spirit ring so easily!
Meng Yiran said these words with a smile, seemingly happy that she could know some things about Ye Qiu.
But as she spoke, when her eyes looked at Ye Qiu, she found that Ye Qiu was frowning and looking at her.
The words she was about to say stopped, and she suddenly felt uneasy: "I'm sorry, should I not know so much?"
Under Ye Qiu's gaze, Meng Yiran bit her lip and lowered her head.
Ye Qiu opened his mouth, somewhat speechless.
There was no right or wrong anymore; she had already seen it all.
He sighed helplessly, "It's alright, just don't tell anyone!"
Ye Qiu wasn't afraid of being found out—Tang San's third spirit ring was his doing—but rather that others would find out he had the ability to control spirit beast sacrifices through this incident!
"Don't worry, I definitely won't tell anyone!" Meng Yiran nodded quickly.
"Then thank you, Miss Meng!"
"You're welcome, it's what I should do! Yeah... I'd rather die than tell anyone!"
Looking at Meng Yiran, who was smiling brightly and exchanging flirtatious glances with him,
Ye Qiu couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
She was just too enthusiastic!
Before anything was even started, she already considered him one of Ye Qiu's.
She was already calling Xiao Wu and the others "sister"!
Ye Qiu had no doubt that if he nodded, they might be able to consummate their relationship somewhere.
"Miss Meng, you're being too kind. Your safety is the most important thing."
Although Ye Qiu thought no one would come knocking on his door because of this,
"Are you worried about me?"
"!?" Ye Qiu looked at her in astonishment; her thought process was quite something.
"Ye Qiu, you don't need to look at me like that!"
"I know it's inappropriate to say these things to you after only meeting you twice, and it might even make you seem too casual! Time will prove everything, I'm serious! I can prove that."
Meng Yiran emphasized again, blushing as she took steps closer to Ye Qiu.
"No, Miss Meng! There's really no need to prove that! Hey!"

Seeing Meng Yiran swaying her hips and trying to get closer to him, Ye Qiu stepped back.
He wanted to raise his hand to stop her, but he didn't dare to reach out.
Because she didn't care at all, she directly committed a foul, dribbling and bumping into him.
"Don't go too far!"
Suddenly, Ning Rongrong's voice appeared in his ear.
"Ah! Why are you all here!?"
Meng Yiran cried out in embarrassment, her movements froze, her face and ear tips were flushed red.
She felt like she had been caught cheating by the wives.
She lowered her head, her eyes darting around.
Had they heard all those embarrassing words she just said!?
"Hmph! Why aren't you calling me sister now?" Ning Rongrong looked at Meng Yiran teasingly and walked directly to Ye Qiu's side.
Xiao Wu also quickly ran over and hugged Ye Qiu's arm, as if afraid of being taken away.
Although she was happy that Meng Yiran could call her Sister Xiao Wu,
she didn't like it when someone came to take her man away!
"Hmm? You mean you've accepted me as your sister?" Meng Yiran suddenly raised her head, her eyes even showing a hint of surprise.
"You! You wish!" Ning Rongrong's beautiful eyes flashed with anger, both furious and speechless.
She had no intention of doing that at all!
Ye Qiu also rubbed his forehead and turned to look at her: "Rongrong, what brings you all here?"
"Huh?" Hearing Ye Qiu's question, Ning Rongrong's arrogance vanished, replaced by a hint of panic.
Eavesdropping on others' conversations was never a good idea.
Ning Rongrong directly revealed the 'leader': "This was Xiao Wu's idea!"
Xiao Wu, whom Ning Rongrong pointed at, also chuckled awkwardly: "I... I was afraid she would bully you... right, Zhu Qing... Zhu Qing?"
Zhu Zhu Qing ignored Xiao Wu and stood to the side, frowning and coldly watching Meng Yiran.
Ye Qiu gave Xiao Wu a helpless glare and then looked back at Meng Yiran, who was still standing to the side, somewhat at a loss.
"Miss Meng, is there anything else you want to say to me?"
"No, no!" Meng Yiran waved her hand, still blushing.
She didn't dare to look at Ning Rongrong and the other two women.
"In that case, let's go! Our rest time is almost over." Ning Rongrong took Ye Qiu's arm and was about to leave.
"Ye Qiu~" Meng Yiran watched Ye Qiu being pulled away by them, a hint of disappointment in her eyes.
Just
as she was about to walk outside, a very domineering figure blocked her way.
Zhu Zhuqing was staring straight at her.
"W-what's wrong?" Meng Yiran looked at her curiously, worried that Zhu Zhuqing would cause her trouble. Zhu
Zhuqing's voice was cold, with a hint of embarrassment in her eyes: "Why didn't you call me earlier?"
"Huh?" Meng Yiran was stunned.
Then, remembering something, her pretty face flushed, and she tentatively called out softly, "Sister Zhuzhuqing~"
"Hmm!" Zhu Zhuqing nodded, an uncontrollable smile playing on her lips.
"I don't dislike that title, Xiao Wu and the others probably do too!"
After leaving those words, Zhu Zhuqing turned and left.
Meng Yiran stood there blankly.
In an instant, a look of surprise appeared on her face, and she excitedly left.
It seemed he had taken a big step closer to joining them
…
After Ye Qiu and Meng Yiran finished their conversation, dawn slowly broke.
"Alright, everyone should have rested enough! We should leave too!"
Seeing that Ye Qiu and the others had already come out, Zhao Wuji also got up to leave the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Understood, Teacher Zhao!" Dai Mubai and the others also got up and responded.
Zhao Wuji carried the still unconscious Tang San on his back and led the group towards the outer perimeter.
When they passed by the Gai Shi Long She family,
Ye Qiu suddenly remembered something and quickly walked up to them.
"Boy! What are you doing here?" Long Gong Meng Shu frowned as he looked at Ye Qiu approaching.
"Ye Qiu!" Meng Yiran's face lit up with joy, and she wanted to rush over, but was pulled back by Chao Tianxiang.
Zhao Wuji and the others also stopped in their tracks because of Ye Qiu's action.
"Senior, when I came from that direction earlier, I saw a cave containing a 1,500-year-old Flame Water Demon Serpent. It should be perfect as Miss Meng's third soul ring!"
Ye Qiu pointed in a certain direction, telling Long Gong the exact location of the soul beast.
"Flame Water Demon Serpent?" Meng Shu's expression changed, and information about this soul beast immediately appeared in his mind.
The Flame Water Demon Serpent doesn't have water attribute abilities.
It only spews out a kind of white flame that meanders and surges like a stream of water, carrying fire poison.
Meng Shu stroked his beard and nodded: "Indeed, it's very suitable. You've put in a lot of effort!"
"It was just a chance encounter. Then this junior will take his leave first. I wish you a successful soul hunting, Senior!"
Ye Qiu cupped his hands in farewell.
Meng Yiran did indeed bear some responsibility for losing the Phoenix Tail Crested Serpent, so this would be compensation!
"Ye Qiu!" Just as
Ye Qiu reached the three women's side, Meng Yiran's voice rang out from behind.
He paused, about to turn around.
"Ah! Ye Qiu, be careful."
Just as he turned around, he heard Ning Rongrong's embarrassed and annoyed voice.
"Mmm!"
Just as Ye Qiu turned around, he was pulled into a tight embrace, feeling a powerful impact.
A moist, slippery sensation touched his lips.
Their lips met, a tender embrace.
Ye Qiu's azure pupils slowly dilated, his blue eyes reflected in the brownish-green water.
With each breath, he could feel the heat emanating from her.
Meng Yiran's eyelashes trembled, her throat bobbing. Just as Ye
Qiu was about to push her away, Meng Yiran withdrew her smooth skin, looking at him with a radiant smile.
"Ye Qiu~! I hope that next time we meet, you can call me Yiran."
"Hoo~" Ye Qiu's breathing became slightly erratic, his breath lingering with a sweet fragrance.
Meng Yiran reached out and cupped Ye Qiu's face, gently stroking it, her heart pounding with excitement!
His skin was even better than her own, and even more stunning up close!
Her lips slightly parted, as she was about to take a sip, Ning Rongrong rushed over.
"Hey! How can you be so shameless?"
"Sorry." Meng Yiran didn't argue, apologizing before running away with a smile.
Ye Qiu was left somewhat dazed, drool still in his mouth.
"Ye Qiu! You shameless... don't smack your lips!" Ning Rongrong glared at Ye Qiu with disgust, gently wiping the drool from his mouth.
"I wasn't, I was just breathing," Ye Qiu retorted.
"Alright! You guys hurry up and come over, it's time to go!" Zhao Wuji urged helplessly.
Ma Hongjun and the others looked at him with envy and jealousy, their eyes practically overflowing.
"Coming!" Ye Qiu pulled Ning Rongrong back to the group, continuing to follow behind Zhao Wuji and the others.
Xiao Wu leaned closer to him: "Xiao Qiu~ Have you taken a liking to her?"
"We've only met twice! How could I have such thoughts?" He wiped his mouth with his sleeve and rolled his eyes at her.
"So you mean if we meet a few more times, it'll be over?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at him curiously.
"Zhuqing! Stop messing around."
"Hmph! She's already given it to you for free. You wouldn't want it? You even found her a soul beast just now!" Ning Rongrong glared at him fiercely.
She had clearly seen the two of them entangled together just now.
Ye Qiu, that damn guy, definitely has feelings for her!
Being stared at by the girls, Ye Qiu felt inexplicably guilty: "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore! You guys go first, I'll go release the excess water in my body!"
After saying that, Ye Qiu ran behind a bush.
He activated his divine power and returned to the corpse of the human-faced demon spider.
The demon spider's corpse was suddenly ignited by black flames, slowly leaving only a short, flat soul bone like a spine.
There were four sections in total, with four bulges on both sides.
Ye Qiu wiped away the blood that had flowed from using Amaterasu, then picked up the soul bone.
"Eight Spider Lances! Got it!" Looking at the item in his hand, his joyful face immediately fell.
He
sighed, frowning, and helplessly wiped his mouth.
It still tasted a bit like Meng Yiran—sweet, soft, and moist.
The morning sun slowly rose, its warm rays spilling down.
Ye Qiu gently touched his eyes, looking up.
What man could withstand such a test! It was incredibly difficult!
"Phew~ Let nature take its course, we'll talk about it next time we meet!"
Ye Qiu sighed, quickly shaking his head to dismiss the thought.
Kamui appeared, and Ye Qiu rushed back to the main force.
...
Star Dou Great Forest Mixed Zone.
Inside the cave.
Xue Beng sat cross-legged in a pool of blood, his body seemingly slowly tearing apart.
Sweat beaded on his forehead as he gritted his teeth, blue arcs of electricity crackling around his body.
Gradually, the blood beneath him seemed to boil, and a crimson mist rose, flowing into Xue Beng's body.
The cracked skin on his body gradually healed.
"Hoo!" He exhaled.
A pure white swan appeared behind him, but it was shrouded in a layer of bloody light.
Combined, the entire swan was pink, exuding a bloody aura, yet appearing somewhat ethereal.
It had four spirit rings: two yellow and two purple.
Xue Beng's expression shifted, and the pink hue quickly vanished, replaced by a blue lightning tyrannosaurus shrouded in bloody mist.
The spirit rings beneath him also changed, three purple and one black!
A smile appeared on Xue Beng's face as he clenched his fists, feeling his sudden surge of power!
The aftereffects of forcibly cultivating his newly acquired second spirit were finally subsiding.
"Very good! It seems you're adapting well." Beside him, Hun Feng, wearing glasses, was writing something in his thick notebook.
His face was still somewhat pale, and he looked quite haggard.
Digesting and organizing memories that didn't belong to him was still very difficult.
"Thanks to the method you provided, teacher, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to withstand such power!" Xue Beng stood up, looking at him respectfully.
"You're already struggling to withstand the added ten-thousand-year soul ring this time. It seems you'll have to wait a while longer for your next soul ring and prepare more fresh blood." "
I'll do whatever you say, teacher!" Xue Beng was already quite satisfied with his current level forty-nine soul power.
Although the price was high, it was all worth it for survival and for obtaining that position above all others!
"Your Majesty, Evil Blood, you're finally back! We should be heading back to Heaven Dou City soon!" Hun Feng adjusted his glasses, looking at the blood-robed elder who had just strolled out of the cave.
"Hmm! This trip... yielded some results!" Evil Blood Douluo replied indifferently.
Then he waved his hand.
A corpse with messy long hair, missing an arm, and tattered clothes, as if torn apart by a soul beast, appeared on the ground.
"Your Majesty, is there anything special about this corpse?" Xue Beng examined it closely but found nothing special!
Even his blood was almost dried up.
Can this be called a harvest?
