Upon hearing that Qian Renxue was currently bathing,
Ye Qiu nodded and stood quietly waiting.
The Demon-Slaying Douluo, arms crossed, leaned against the wall, eyes closed in meditation.
The Thousand-Jun Douluo, seeing him standing there, found it somewhat amusing.
"Hehe, kid, no need to be so reserved, just find a seat!"
"Uh, it's just that neither of you seniors has taken a seat."
Ye Qiu smiled casually.
There was no need to sit down anymore.
He could already sense his martial soul stirring.
It seemed Qian Renxue was already approaching.
Sure enough,
less than a dozen breaths later,
a somewhat muffled footstep sounded outside.
Creak!
Qian Renxue, still in her Xue Qinghe form, pushed open the door.
Her golden hair was still wet.
Her once bright and beautiful face was now sickly pale.
A neat, loose golden robe draped over her slender body.
She resembled a delicate, aristocratic scholar.
As soon as she pushed open the door,
she saw Ye Qiu standing in the center of the study.
A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
As she stepped into the room,
a gentle breeze drifted in from outside,
carrying with it the faint, sweet fragrance of her recent bath.
In the dim light,
Ye Qiu saw two dark figures dart in.
*Click!*
One of the figures closed the door behind them.
"Uncles,"
Qian Renxue bowed respectfully.
The Spirit Hall was divided into the Pope's Hall, the Elder Hall, and the Hall of Offerings.
Except for the Pope's Hall, the members of the other two halls were all Title Douluo level beings.
Especially the Hall of Offerings, which housed many experts above level ninety-five!
These offerings were the true pillars of her Spirit Hall.
Qian Renxue also showed them great respect.
*Whoosh!
* Thousand-Jun Douluo suddenly appeared in front of her, supporting her elbow.
He said softly, "Xiaoxue, we've watched you grow up, there's no need for these formalities."
"Yes, Xiaoxue, Big Brother is right!"
The Demon-Slaying Douluo, who had been leaning against the wall, opened his eyes again and straightened up.
His temper, usually somewhat volatile
, softened considerably when speaking to Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue straightened up.
Behind her,
two figures hidden in the shadows revealed themselves.
They were none other than the two Title Douluos, Cizhu and Shemao.
"Cixue (She Long), greets the two Venerable Ones!"
The two bowed respectfully to the Qianjun Demon-Slaying brothers.
Their expressions seemed to show some guilt and fear.
In the Spirit Hall, although both were Title Douluos, the difference in strength still resulted in vastly different statuses.
They understood that the power of these Venerable Ones, to a certain extent, even surpassed that of the Pope!
Upon seeing them, the already powerful and somewhat volatile Demon-Slaying Douluo immediately couldn't contain his anger.
His face was grim, his voice icy.
"Hmph! How exactly did you two protect Xiaoxue?"
"How could you let Xiaoxue suffer such serious injuries!"
"If we didn't need manpower right now, we would definitely let you taste the power of my Dragon Subduing Staff!"
The Porcupine Douluo and the Serpent Spear Douluo lowered their heads, not daring to move.
They said in unison,
"Please forgive us, Seventh Elder!" Qian Renxue, who had been watching Ye Qiu with a
strange look in her eyes , also came to her senses. She pleaded, "Uncles, this assassination attempt can't be blamed on them." She seemed to have spoken too loudly and with some force. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her face paled a little. She clutched her left shoulder and continued, "During my last trip to the palace, because I was going to meet with the three members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's teaching committee, Meng Shenji, and others, I specifically asked them to wait for me outside the palace just in case!" Qian Jun Douluo, who had been watching from the side, changed his expression and frowned at Qian Renxue. "Xiaoxue, since you're injured, don't waste your breath," she said , turning to her younger brother, Demon-Slaying Douluo. "Brother, let it go! They've been infiltrating the Heavenly Dou Sect with Xiaoxue all this time; they've done their part, even if they haven't made any great contributions!" Demon-Slaying Douluo never disobeyed his elder brother, giving a cold snort and letting it go. "Alright, no need for formalities!" came the calm voice of Thousand-Pound Douluo. Hearing this, Porcupine Douluo and Serpent Spear Douluo straightened up again. "Thank you for your mercy, Young Master." They bowed slightly to Qian Renxue and retreated. This scene left Ye Qiu speechless. He couldn't help but marvel at the terrifying power of the Spirit Hall. With their Title Douluo level cultivation, Serpent Spear and Porcupine Douluo would be sought after by any power, treated as honored guests . But in the Spirit Hall, they were only there to be reprimanded. After the criticism session for Porcupine Douluo and Serpent Spear ended... Qian Renxue's gaze returned to Ye Qiu in the arena. Her voice, somewhat weak, was ethereal and clear, like the murmur of a flowing spring. "Why did you arrive so early this time? Is there something you need my help with?" Ye Qiu asked with a forced smile, feeling a little embarrassed.
He seemed to be giving people the stereotype that he only visited the Three Treasures Hall for important matters.
Looking at Qian Renxue, he shrugged and shook his head.
"No, I just wanted to ask you a few things."
Qian Renxue looked at him, her eyes flickering uncertainly.
After a moment of silence, she turned and walked towards the hidden door in the wall.
"Come with me!"
After speaking, she turned to look at the Qian Jun and Jiang Mo brothers.
"Uncles, thank you for your hard work these past few days!"
"Don't worry, Xiaoxue! If anyone dares to assassinate you again, I'll make sure they don't leave alive!"
Jiang Mo Douluo patted his chest forcefully.
"That's right!" Qian Jun Douluo nodded in agreement, then looked at Qian Renxue with concern.
"Xiaoxue, all you need to do now is take good care of your health. If it gets too bad, we brothers will escort you back to the Spirit Hall and have the Grand Elder personally treat your injuries!"
"Okay!" Qian Renxue nodded.
She glanced at Ye Qiu.
If they really needed to return to the Spirit Hall, this guy would be a good means of transportation.
Seeing that the secret door was open, he stepped inside.
He didn't forget to urge Ye Qiu, "Let's go!"
Ye Qiu nodded and smiled at the four Title Douluos in the room.
The Demon Subduing Douluo stretched out his index finger, on which was a mini red Dragon Subduing Staff, constantly spinning.
"Kid, don't do anything reckless!"
"Senior, I'm not stupid."
Ye Qiu smiled bitterly, feeling a little ashamed.
Wasn't it like an old man hanging himself, courting death if he were to mess with Qian Renxue at this time?
Besides, he didn't even have that intention.
He sighed helplessly .
He followed Qian Renxue's footsteps and entered the secret passage.
The light inside the secret passage wasn't very good.
It was only illuminated by a few luminous pearls embedded in the ceiling.
Qian Renxue, who was walking ahead, walked very slowly.
Her steps were unsteady.
Ye Qiu could even hear her rather rapid breathing.
He raised an eyebrow and looked at her back with a puzzled expression.
He couldn't help but ask, "How's your injury? It seems even worse?"
"Yes,"
Qian Renxue, walking ahead, gritted her teeth and nodded slightly.
She responded softly and then explained in more detail,
"After I was injured, I was treated by the Nine Heart Begonia family and you. The treatments were quite effective, but it didn't work!"
"I think I've been poisoned!"
"Poisoned?"
Ye Qiu looked at her in surprise, his eyes flashing with bloodlust, his Sharingan blooming in his blue pupils. He
stared at Qian Renxue ahead, observing the soul power within her body.
"Yes, poisoned! The wound that was supposed to heal through treatment is now deteriorating again, and it's even corroding the surrounding muscle tissue."
Qian Renxue slowly walked forward, simultaneously removing her disguise. Her
soul power circulated, and golden light slowly emanated from her body.
Intense pain surged within her body, causing her to break out in a sweat.
She clutched her left chest with her hand.
Her voice was weak as she continued.
"Furthermore, I suspect this poison also affects my soul power. Every time I circulate my soul power, my meridians ache terribly."
"And at night, this pain is even more pronounced!"
So this is because of poisoning?
A look of seriousness flashed in Ye Qiu's eyes.
He had just used his Sharingan to examine her more carefully.
That blood-red soul power was indeed slowly conquering her body.
It was about to slowly seep into her limbs and bones, intertwining with her own soul power, and it was constantly growing stronger!
Ye Qiu withdrew his martial soul.
Qian Renxue had also returned to her original form.
Her golden hair slowly grew longer.
Her back became more shapely, and her loose robes became much fuller.
Listening to her rapid breathing.
Looking at her swaying figure.
Ye Qiu walked forward and stood beside her.
He reached out and put his arm around her right arm, supporting her as they walked forward.
At the same time, he told her what he had discovered.
"Your suspicion is correct. I did indeed see a crimson soul force devouring you!"
Ye Qiu turned to look at her.
Suddenly, he stopped, somewhat stunned.
Her wet, golden hair fell loosely,
looking somewhat disheveled.
It obscured her face, which should have been rosy, but was now as pale as paper.
Her delicate eyebrows were furrowed, a hint of sorrow on her cheeks.
She possessed a delicate fragility, moving like a willow swaying in the breeze. Her
deep, gradually golden pupils lacked their former strength and majesty,
giving only an impression of fragility.
A few strands of hair clung to her beautiful face, which was damp with sweat from the pain.
The occasional waves of pain made her grit her teeth, her lips trembling slightly. Her
snow-white swan neck was perfectly proportioned.
The loose robes allowed glimpses of her snow-white beauty.
A fragmented beauty, enough to evoke anyone's protective instincts.
Ye Qiu couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
"What's wrong?"
Qian Renxue gasped for breath,
feeling utterly drained of strength from simply activating her soul bone.
She leaned weakly against Ye Qiu, looking at him with confusion. Reflected in
his unwavering, azure eyes was a version of herself she had never seen before —frail and sickly. "Uh, no, nothing!"
Ye Qiu blinked erratically, his voice slightly panicked.
He shook his head to clear his mind.
Qian Renxue's beautiful face was filled with suspicion.
Seeing his evasive gaze, she seemed to understand something.
She frowned slightly, then looked away.
With Ye Qiu's support, she continued walking forward.
Ye Qiu's words confirmed her suspicions once again.
"It seems I really am poisoned. No wonder my health is getting worse! Hmm~"
As she spoke, Qian Renxue suddenly trembled and let out a muffled groan.
A trace of color returned to her paper-white face.
Turning around, she looked at Ye Qiu, who was standing motionless with his eyes downcast.
Her face showed embarrassment and annoyance.
Ye Qiu had already wrapped his arms around her waist.
Now she was pressed against his chest.
"Walking like this will make things easier, so you don't wobble and keep bumping into me! It'll also make it easier for me to treat you."
Ye Qiu chuckled at her.
As expected of the Crown Prince, the fabric he wore was definitely of high value.
Even through his clothes, Ye Qiu could feel the silky smoothness of her skin, and he could
n't help but want to wiggle his fingers. Holding her slender yet voluptuous, soft and warm waist, Ye Qiu felt a surge of desire . Ignoring
Qian Renxue's reaction, Ye Qiu helped her into the secret chamber.
Feeling the warm life force emanating from him, the pain on Qian Renxue's face lessened considerably.
Gently inhaling the fragrance emanating from Ye Qiu, her breathing gradually became steady.
Leaning against Ye Qiu's chest, his warmth enveloped her.
"Alright, we're almost there. Let's talk after we sit down. You're sweating so much, you're getting my clothes dirty."
Seeing that she was about to say something more, Ye Qiu reminded her.
"Hmph, I didn't ask you to help me!"
Qian Renxue glanced coldly at Ye Qiu.
Unfortunately, she couldn't muster any authority in her current state.
Ye Qiu chuckled softly.
You're injured, do you think I'd let you bully you?
Even if you weren't injured last time, I'd still spank you!
He rarely bantered with Qian Renxue.
"Fine, then next time I'll try carrying you in!"
"You!"
Qian Renxue retorted, still utterly unyielding.
Looking at the approaching entrance to the secret chamber,
she silently endured it.
She had never realized this secret passage was so long!
"Alright, sit down!"
Ye Qiu helped Qian Renxue sit at the new stone table.
Looking at the tea set on the table, Ye Qiu also sat down.
After exchanging a glance with Qian Renxue, he smiled mysteriously.
Ye Qiu then took out a Blood Spirit Mushroom from his Divine Might Space.
With a simple and crude rub, he turned it into powder.
He tossed it into the teapot,
poured in boiling water, and brewed it.
Instantly, a medicinal aroma filled the entire secret room.
He shook it slightly and poured a cup for Qian Renxue.
"Hey, this Blood Spirit Mushroom can enhance your blood and qi, perfect for you right now!"
Qian Renxue glanced at him in surprise, pursing her lips.
Her voice was exceptionally gentle compared to before.
"Thank you!"
She reached out and took the steaming teacup.
She brought it to her lips, her brows furrowing, her lips curving into a slight smile as she gently blew on it before placing it back on the table.
She looked up at Ye Qiu.
What she saw was a sea of blood red, and her eyes instantly turned into a pool of autumn water.
Her face flushed crimson.
She bit her lip and quickly looked away.
"Ye Qiu!"
A cold voice brought Ye Qiu back to his senses.
"What's wrong?"
Ye Qiu looked at Qian Renxue curiously.
"What's wrong?"
Ye Qiu looked at Qian Renxue curiously.
"I told you already! Don't look at me with those lewd eyes! I haven't even settled the score with you for seducing Xue Ke this morning!"
Qian Renxue gritted her teeth, her gaze filled with resentment, but her heart was pounding uncontrollably.
"Hey, don't accuse me wrongly! I didn't seduce Xue Ke at all! I just wanted to check on your injuries!"
Ye Qiu awkwardly closed his Sharingan.
He had only seduced her accidentally.
"So, instead of spending time with your three little wives, what brings you here?"
Qian Renxue gently touched her burning face, looking coldly at Ye Qiu.
"Uh... you really have a lot of eyes!"
Ye Qiu was taken aback and exclaimed.
He had only been strolling around with Ning Rongrong and the other two women for a while at dusk, and her spies had already spotted him.
"What I'm here for isn't urgent. Let's deal with your injuries first!"
"Deal with my injuries?" Qian Renxue looked at Ye Qiu in confusion.
"Yeah!"
Ye Qiu smiled nonchalantly, reaching out to pick up the Blood Spirit Mushroom tea in front of Qian Renxue.
Using the third soul skill of the Blue Silver Emperor, Blue Silver Ice and Fire Break, he
channeled the power of ice, instantly causing a layer of white frost to condense on the outside of the teacup.
The steaming tea became lukewarm.
Qian Renxue stared at him in shock.
Why did this bastard's abilities seem so endless?!
Unaware of her confusion,
Ye Qiu picked up the teacup, took a small sip himself,
and then handed it to Qian Renxue.
"Hey, the water temperature is just right!"
"..."
Just moments ago, Qian Renxue had been looking puzzled.
Seeing the tea Ye Qiu offered, she was speechless. She
simply didn't move, frowning with disdain.
"You actually gave me something you'd already drunk from?"
"Ahem...it's a habit of mine...haha!"
Ye Qiu awkwardly scratched his head. Spending so much time with the girls had indeed made him much more warm-hearted.
But these little warm habits were somewhat inappropriate.
Under Qian Renxue's icy gaze,
Ye Qiu quickly poured another cup, cooled it again, and handed it to her.
She looked away, took the cup, and took a small sip.
"You meant you could heal my wounds?"
"Yes and no." Ye Qiu shook his head, then nodded.
"What do you mean? Am I being silly?" Qian Renxue suddenly became agitated, accidentally aggravating her wound. She
couldn't help but groan.
"Don't get agitated!" Ye Qiu stood up and sat next to her, placing his hand on her back.
The energy flowed slowly and ceaselessly.
"What I mean is, I can't do it alone; I need your help!"
Ye Qiu said, picking up a cup of tea with his other hand and bringing it to Qian Renxue's lips.
Qian Renxue took the cup, glaring at him,
"Speak quickly!"
"You should be able to sense it too, right?"
"What's inside your body isn't really poison, but a very strange blood-red soul power. If it weren't for your Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, which carries a powerful divine aura, you'd probably be dead already!" Ye
Qiu said, stroking his chin.
He still felt like he'd seen this power somewhere before.
"Indeed." Qian Renxue nodded. She already knew what kind of Soul Masters the Evil Blood group were! "This strange soul power is entangled with your soul power! You can't handle it alone, but you still have me, right?" Ye Qiu smiled smugly. "What do you mean?" Qian Renxue was still a little confused; how did this get to Ye Qiu? "Sigh, have you forgotten our Martial Soul Fusion Technique?" Ye Qiu rolled his eyes. Qian Renxue sneered. "Heh, so you still remember we have to cultivate the Martial Soul Fusion Technique? You kept saying you'd be back to your previous cultivation rhythm after a while, but what happened?" "So all you did was spend time with those three women? You're really too busy to find time for anything else." Qian Renxue gritted her teeth, glaring at Ye Qiu. Her complexion, which had improved somewhat under Ye Qiu's treatment, turned icy cold. Last time, this bastard even dared to spank her! And he hit her so hard. "Well, I do have time later," Ye Qiu said with a forced smile. He had originally planned to take Xiao Wu and the others back to the Heavenly Dou Imperial City as soon as possible. But Zhu Qing had some things to attend to, so he had to put the plan on hold. "Let's not talk about this anymore. We'll have plenty of time to cultivate the Martial Soul Fusion Technique once you're better!" Ye Qiu quickly moved on from the matter. This unpleasantness would only affect their cultivation later. "Hmph!" Qian Renxue snorted coldly. She was fully aware of Ye Qiu's ulterior motives, but she didn't point it out. He was right; she would wait until her injuries healed.

There's still plenty of time to deal with this lewd, womanizing bastard!
"So what should we do next?"
She could heal her injuries herself, so she certainly didn't want to trouble her grandfather.
Besides, things had changed on the avalanche side.
If she disappeared without explanation for a while,
there was a risk of exposure.
She had been secretly infiltrating for so many years, and she didn't want all her efforts to be in vain!
"Ah, you bastard! What are you doing?!"
Qian Renxue suddenly exclaimed.
Ye Qiu had already picked her up and was holding her in his arms.
He wasn't joking just now.
He picked her up without warning!
"Don't get excited, I'm just carrying you over."
Ye Qiu tilted his head back, dodging Qian Renxue's outstretched arms.
Soon, Ye Qiu placed her on the stone bed beside him.
"Now, let me see your wounds first, and see if the plan is feasible!"
Ye Qiu sat opposite Qian Renxue, pressed her shoulders, and said seriously.
"What... what are you saying, you bastard?!"
Qian Renxue's face flushed red, covered with a thin layer of anger.
Her golden pupils contracted slightly as she clutched herself, somewhat flustered.
The location of her injury was quite ingenious.
Although she had already been taken advantage of by this bastard's lewd martial spirit, experiencing her tenderness,
how could she easily show this to him?!
"Isn't your shoulder injured?" Ye Qiu looked at Qian Renxue, who had transformed from white snow to red maple leaves, with a strange expression.
"Yes! That's right," Qian Renxue bit her red lips, nodding hesitantly.
"Then it's fine, it's not like I'm asking you to take off your clothes."
"Shut up!" Qian Renxue shouted angrily, her expression constantly changing.
Looking at Ye Qiu, who seemed intimidated by her, she gritted her teeth and closed her eyes.
"Get to the back!"
Facing Ye Qiu's strange gaze, Qian Renxue's eyelids reddened, and she said coldly, trembling,
"My injury was from an arrow, and I have another wound on my back! Get to the back right now!"
"An arrow?!"
Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.
Urged on by Qian Renxue, Ye Qiu sat down cross-legged behind her.
"Yes, I'm ready!"
Ye Qiu sat up straight, fully focused.
In front of him
, Qian Renxue, her back to him, had just placed her hand on her collar.
Her delicate body trembled.
Gritting her teeth, she hated Ye Qiu intensely.
Her movements were hesitant, and Qian Renxue's collar slowly slid down,
revealing only her shoulders .
Those snow-white shoulders were perfectly rounded.
Ye Qiu, slightly taller than her, could even see her delicate collarbones.
Although it was only her shoulders, it was the first time she had exposed so much skin to a man.
In Ye Qiu's view, the corners of her cheeks, previously pale, were now a blood-red vermilion.
Even the tips of her ears seemed to be dripping blood.
Her fair back, like porcelain, was slowly covered in a layer of pink.
Qian Renxue also had her wounds bandaged.
A piece of white silk was wrapped around her wounds, passing under her armpits.
A glaring patch of blood stained the white silk.
"Ouch!"
Qian Renxue endured the pain and pulled the white silk away.
Instantly, the wound came into Ye Qiu's view.
Such a perfect back, yet with an unsightly bloody wound.
Below her left shoulder, there was a bloody hole.
With Ye Qiu's eyesight, he could even see through the hole to the other side.
Seeing the wound, Ye Qiu couldn't help but frown.
Around the wound, there seemed to be a strange soul force spreading and corroding outwards.
A small patch of skin around the wound had disappeared, exposing the blood beneath.
It was truly an eyesore.
Noticing no movement behind her for a long time, Qian Renxue was too ashamed to turn around.
She could only grit her teeth and speak.
"What? Is it ugly?"
She knew exactly what her wound looked like.
"No, apart from the injured area, the rest is still beautiful,"
Ye Qiu said truthfully.
A kaleidoscope of light bloomed in her eyes.
Hearing Ye Qiu's words, Qian Renxue's back flushed even more pink.
She didn't know why she had asked such a question.
Ye Qiu, however, wasn't surprised.
It was normal for girls to be concerned about such things. He
then said seriously,
"Next, I'll try to clear away the strange soul power around your wound!"
"Okay!" Qian Renxue nodded, saying nothing more.
"Hoo~"
Ye Qiu relaxed his body and exhaled a breath of warm air.
The breath brushed against Qian Renxue's porcelain-like back, causing a slight tremor.
While she felt a slight itch, her pink clothes deepened.
Amaterasu! Kagutsuchi!
Ye Qiu extended his left index finger, his right eye suddenly becoming bloodshot.
A small black flame ignited at his fingertip.
Maintaining this wisp of black flame, Ye Qiu slowly brought his index finger closer to the wound on Qian Renxue's shoulder.
He then added,
"If it hurts, bear with it. I'll be as careful as possible!"
"Okay, I know! Hmm,"
Qian Renxue replied, but before she could finish speaking, Ye Qiu had already touched the edge of her wound with one finger.
As the delicate body before him trembled, Ye Qiu's heart stirred slightly. Her skin was
as smooth as porcelain to the touch.
Only because the situation was different did it feel slightly hot.
Ye Qiu's gaze sharpened, not daring to be distracted.
This was the first time he had used Kagutsuchi to perform such a delicate operation.
The crimson soul power entwined around him had nowhere to hide under Ye Qiu's Sharingan.
Wherever the black flames passed, the soul power was instantly burned away.
In just a few breaths, it was completely cleared.
"Hoo~" The black flames in his hand dissipated.
Ye Qiu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Qian Renxue's fair back was also covered in fine beads of sweat.
"Okay, okay?"
This was a tone Ye Qiu had never heard from Qian Renxue since he met her.
Shy, so very shy!
"Hmm, let me help your back heal first!"
As he spoke, a faint green light emanated from Ye Qiu's hand, which he pressed against her back,
imprinting it on her wound.
"Hmm~"
Qian Renxue let out a soft moan.
Her entire face and head were flushed crimson.
All traces of holiness and majesty had long been forgotten.
The heat from Ye Qiu's palm caused her temperature to rise rapidly.
Fortunately,
the Blue Silver Emperor's first soul skill, Endless Life, was no less powerful than the Nine-Hearted Begonia's healing abilities.
It didn't last long before Ye Qiu withdrew his hand.
"Alright! Perfect as ever,"
Ye Qiu chuckled, feeling a sense of accomplishment, as if he had saved a work of art.
At the same time, he was filled with deep doubt.
This aura was becoming increasingly familiar!
"Thank you~" Qian Renxue whispered.
She finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as she was about to pull the exposed skin down to her shoulders and cover herself again,
Ye Qiu's voice made her body tremble violently. The
lingering crimson on her face turned blood-red.
"Very good, very successful! Next, we should treat the wound on your shoulder!"
"W-what did you say? The front too?!"
Qian Renxue was astonished, tightening her clothes.
"Yes, we'll treat the external wounds first, then we'll deal with the internal ones."
Before he finished speaking, Ye Qiu was already getting off the stone bed and
walking towards her .
He didn't care much about the shoulder wound.
"Alright!" Qian Renxue gritted her teeth.
Her eyes, as deep as an autumn lake, shimmered with the light of falling leaves.
She looked at Ye Qiu, who was now sitting in front of her, looking at her.
Her head was lowered, her lips almost bleeding from biting them.
Her robes slipped down again, exposing her shoulders.
The long robe had become a strapless dress.
Ye Qiu quickly saw the wound on her shoulder.
The location was indeed somewhat delicate.
He could vaguely see a slight bruise.
The assassin was truly ruthless!
"Hurry up!" Qian Renxue closed her eyes, her body trembling slightly.
Already injured, sitting for so long was taking its toll.
"Hmm!"
Having learned from his first experience, Ye Qiu
proceeded with practiced ease. Amaterasu and Kagutsuchi were used in turn.
After a few shivers from Qian Renxue, the evil soul power swirling around her wound was completely cleared away.
Just as he was about to reach out and heal her wound,
Ye Qiu froze!
He finally remembered why this aura felt so familiar.
It was that night!
When Erming took him and Rongrong to hunt souls, the blood arrow he encountered!
He had only seen a large, blood-red bow because of the distance!
At this moment, Qian Renxue had been waiting for Ye Qiu.
After a long silence, she opened her eyes. She was
immediately filled with shame and anger.
Ye Qiu had been staring at her wound.
She exclaimed in embarrassment and indignation, "You bastard!"
Ye Qiu was also startled awake by her voice.
He quickly explained.
"Don't misunderstand, I was just thinking about something!"
It was just a shoulder, and Ye Qiu wasn't exactly a novice.
The sweet and soft Xiao Wu was quite something.
Ye Qiu suppressed his surprise and
used his Unending Life technique.
Amidst Qian Renxue's muffled groans and curses,
it instantly adhered to her wound.
Compared to her back, this was noticeably gentler.
Within a few breaths, Qian Renxue's external injury was treated.
Qian Renxue pulled up her clothes, breathing heavily.
She was drenched in sweat, her eyes seemingly capable of killing.
She glared fiercely at Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu, however, extended a hand.
"Let me help you adjust your condition!"
Qian Renxue's face was covered in hair, obscuring her features at first glance.
She gave Ye Qiu a cold look before looking away.
"Hey, don't be so willful!" Ye Qiu was somewhat helpless.
He hadn't gained any advantage.
His eyes hurt a lot when he used Amaterasu!
Although it was just a small spark, the external injuries were merely an appetizer.
The real challenge lay in the remaining crimson soul power within Qian Renxue's body.
"First, get your energy and spirit in order. We'll use the cultivation process of the Martial Soul Fusion Technique to cleanse your body of toxins!"
With that, Ye Qiu activated his Blue Silver Domain.
The Blue Silver Domain spun continuously, emitting fragrant aromas.
Faint blue and red lights alternated.
Qian Renxue, whose hair was disheveled and clung to her face, her clothes in disarray, looking as if she had been bullied,
immediately felt her body relax considerably.
A warm aura surged towards her.
The sweat on her body slowly evaporated.
Then came a cool sensation, which cleared her mind considerably.
Qian Renxue looked at Ye Qiu in surprise.
She had experienced this domain before, and it definitely didn't have this ability to alternate between hot and cold.
Had this guy's domain awakened a second time?!
She had heard every word Ye Qiu said.
Seeing that Ye Qiu was also resting with his eyes closed, seemingly ignoring her,
she simply sat cross-legged and began to slowly adjust her state.
After a while...
Ye Qiu opened his eyes first and looked at Qian Renxue.
"How are you? Ready?"
Qian Renxue slowly woke up.
"Yes, ready!"
"Then let's begin!" Ye Qiu stood up in front of Qian Renxue and opened his arms to her.
Qian Renxue took a deep breath.
She also tilted her head back and opened her arms.
This gesture of asking for a hug and being lifted up made her a little embarrassed.
Ye Qiu didn't stand on ceremony and leaned his head over.
He moved her head aside and placed it on her shoulder.
Then he wrapped his arms around Qian Renxue from under her arms and easily lifted her up.
Qian Renxue blushed and cooperated by hugging his neck. Her
two long and shapely legs also wrapped around Ye Qiu.
As soon as her body pressed against him, Ye Qiu could feel a soft pressure.
He could feel her heart beating through her belly.
The two of them rubbed their ears and cheeks together, their faces burning hot.
Considering Qian Renxue's limited mobility, Ye Qiu had no choice but to let her cling to him for now.
He then sat cross-legged ,
allowing her to sit on his lap to prevent her from fidgeting.
After a long separation,
they faced each other, foreheads touching.
Their azure eyes met his golden gaze, and both were momentarily stunned.
Then they looked away
, feeling each other's breath on their faces.
Their hearts remained unsettled for a long time.
Ye Qiu lifted her arms,
cupping her fair cheeks in his hands, making her look at him.
He said in a deep voice,
"Listen! Let's review first, then proceed with the healing! Understand?"
"...Mmm."
Qian Renxue looked at the somewhat forceful and serious Ye Qiu, suddenly feeling a pang of fear.
Her long eyelashes fluttered, and she dared not look any longer.
She closed her eyes shyly.
"Let's begin! This time, I'll take the lead!"
Ye Qiu said, then closed his eyes. He
began to guide the flow of soul power according to the route recorded in the *Two Elements Heart Sutra*,
directing the soul power within his body.
Just as he closed his eyes, Qian Renxue opened them a crack.
Looking at Ye Qiu, her eyes were filled with longing.
Qian Renxue frowned, suppressing her thoughts, and closed her eyes again,
quickly entering a meditative state.
Although they couldn't see each other clearly,
the two, embracing each other, could still clearly feel each other's presence.
The soft pressure in front of him made Ye Qiu want to breathe more forcefully.
His hot breath, hitting Qian Renxue's face, always reflected a blush.
With each breath, they were enveloped in each other's essence.
Gradually, as their minds emptied, their complexions returned to normal, as if they could no longer feel the presence of their physical bodies.
Above them, space tore open, and a pair of blood-red eyes made a dazzling appearance,
illuminating the entire secret chamber.
Three tomoe spun, gathered, and then unfolded.
The magnificent, crimson-purple Kaleidoscope bloomed
between her brows, also radiating blood-red light, illuminating Qian Renxue's face.
Then, another golden six-winged angel hovered in the air.
Holy fire ignited on its body, its light rivaling the crimson glow, each illuminating half of the secret chamber.
Qian Renxue's brow shimmered with golden light, emanating a sacred and noble aura.
Gradually, the light clusters between their brows slowly merged together, the process proceeding smoothly.
Golden light enveloped crimson light, the colors constantly alternating.
Their spiritual powers resided within the light clusters between their brows, intertwined.
You are in me, and I am in you.
This was a space where their spiritual powers coexisted.
Ye Qiu tried to call out to Qian Renxue.
"Everything is normal! Let's officially begin in a bit."
"Remember! This time, I'll take the lead!"
"Okay!"
Qian Renxue's voice rang in Ye Qiu's mind.
No further words were exchanged.
Although he found her tone strangely cheerful, Ye Qiu had no time to dwell on it.
Unbeknownst to him, outside the spiritual space,
a smile played on Qian Renxue's lips.
This time, she was actually able to see through some of Ye Qiu's little schemes!
This had never happened before!
"Just cooperate well from now on!" Ye Qiu instructed again.
"Are we really going to do this? Will we..."
Qian Renxue's voice was filled with worry.
She had already learned of Ye Qiu's plan through their mental link.
"Don't worry, although it's a bit dangerous, I won't hurt you!"
Ye Qiu's voice rang out with a faint smile.
This was also a considerable challenge for him, but with his Martial Soul Fusion Technique, he was confident.
"You!" Qian Renxue's voice was somewhat angry.
She was clearly worried about him. He
was still as ungrateful as ever!
Patiently, she said softly,
"Yes, I will cooperate with you!"
"Then let's begin!"
Ye Qiu's words fell.
Suddenly, the soul power on both of them surged and intertwined,
like a large cocoon, enveloping them
completely .
Inside the secret chamber,
beneath the large red and purple eyes above, three soul rings—one purple and one black—suddenly rose.
Below the six-winged angel, two yellow, two purple, and one black soul rings also appeared—five soul rings in total.
Suddenly,
Ye Qiu's second and third soul rings flickered. (Amaterasu, Kagutsuchi!)
Qian Renxue's fifth soul ring flashed. (The Holy Sword, composed of Holy Fire!)
Immediately,
her blood-red eyes transformed into a streak of crimson light.
The six-winged angel transformed into a streak of golden light.
They intertwined, the golden-red light filling the entire secret chamber.
The two streaks of light instantly surged into the golden-red soul power cocoon.
At the same time,
inside the cocoon,
Ye Qiu tightly embraced the delicate body in his arms. Her waist was slender yet voluptuous, soft yet firm.
This time, Ye Qiu refused Qian Renxue's soul power flowing towards him.
Qian Renxue also subtly tightened her embrace of Ye Qiu,
cooperating with him as best she could.
She welcomed
Ye Qiu's soul power flowing into her body, filling her limited meridians to capacity!
Ye Qiu's soul power was radiating Amaterasu's black flames, while Qian Renxue's soul power was mixed with Holy Fire.
Their clothes were instantly reduced to ashes by the leaking flames. Both of
them
, of course, had a view of the outside world and were fully aware of their own condition.
Their bodies had turned crimson and were covered in a fine sheen of sweat.
Though extremely embarrassed, Qian Renxue still held Ye Qiu tightly.
Gradually, their soul powers merged.
Golden flames mixed with black appeared on their bodies.
When their soul powers were completely fused, the crimson soul power entangled within Qian Renxue's soul power
instantly vanished!
