Cherreads

Chapter 226 - Chapter 226 Far Ahead

  After Liu Erlong made a fatal mistake, Ye Qiu had truly given up struggling and decided to go with the flow.

  His last shred of reason was overwhelmed by the burning passion in his heart.

  Even though Liu Erlong possessed a dragon-type beast spirit and her physical attributes far surpassed those of other spirit masters of the same level, she was still somewhat inferior to Ye Qiu in terms of physical strength.

  After being suppressed by her for a period of time, Ye Qiu ushered in his moment of counterattack.

  The serfs rose up and sang.

  A notification sound seemed to come from his mind.

  Congratulations on successful job change.

  Unlocked job: Tyrannosaurus Knight!

  ...

  The long night eventually came to an end.

  Purple clouds rose in the eastern sky, and the sun rose high.

  Dugu Bo, outside the tree hollow, stretched and yawned.

  The crackling campfire had gone out, and the commotion of the dinosaurs fighting the wolves inside had finally subsided.

  "It seems... this medicine was a bit too strong. I hope they're alright!"

  Dugu Bo rubbed his eyes, somewhat gloating.

  His medicine was far ahead in this area!

  This could be considered a way to make up for his failed attempt to drug her last time! He chuckled

  strangely

  , slowly lying down on the ground.

  He could finally close his eyes and rest for a while.

  The light from outside shone into the cave, making it much brighter.

  On the straw mat on the ground, a lone man and woman lay.

  Liu Erlong was tightly embracing Ye Qiu, leaning against his chest.

  Tears streamed down her face, her brows subtly revealing a tenderness.

  Her beautiful face was flushed, her brows slightly furrowed, a captivating expression that was hard to define—whether it was pain or pleasure.

  Ye Qiu frowned, his eyes opening and closing, wanting to raise his hand to shield his eyes from the light, but instead touched something silky smooth.

  He was slightly startled; memories of last night flooded back, and just recalling them made his heart race.

  He lowered his eyes, glancing at the somewhat frail Liu Erlong. He

  remained stunned for a long time.

  His left arm was pressed against her delicate skin, unable to move.

  With a helpless sigh, he switched hands and covered his face.

  His head was spinning.

  Even after bathing in dragon blood, his physical strength hadn't improved; instead, his muscles ached.

  He sensed his internal state.

  His soul power still couldn't circulate smoothly.

  "That old bastard!" Ye Qiu gritted his teeth.

  He hadn't expected Dugu Bo to dare give Liu Erlong such a strong medicine.

  The battle had been over for so long, yet he still couldn't fully mobilize his soul power.

  Feeling his back and waist aching, Ye Qiu had no choice but to adjust his soul power first. He

  quietly began to circulate the somewhat clumsy Xuan Tian Gong.

  Feeling the alluring beauty pressing against him, he gently inhaled the enchanting fragrance.

  He made a decision.

  Since she would be his woman sooner or later, there was no need to be so conflicted. It

  was already like this; there seemed to be no need to think about anything else!?

  After a moment, Ye Qiu noticed the beauty in his arms move.

  He turned his head and

  looked at Liu Erlong, whose cheeks had turned red.

  Ye Qiu reached out and touched her delicate, flawless face, pale and flushed, slightly rough from tears.

  He tucked a few strands of hair behind her ear.

  "Are you going to keep your eyes closed?"

  Ye Qiu asked, pulling her voluptuous body into his arms. He placed his hands on her waist, his fingertips sliding as if tickling her.

  Liu Erlong's body trembled, her pretty face blooming like a peach blossom, her earlobes glistening with desire.

  Hearing Ye Qiu's voice,

  knowing she couldn't escape, Liu Erlong opened her eyes.

  Her eyes sparkled, alluring and seductive.

  Her soft hands gently caressed Ye Qiu's chest.

  With lingering breath, she softly called out to Ye Qiu,

  "Ye Qiu~"

  Ye Qiu's azure eyes remained fixed on her, his hands gently squeezing the soft flesh of her waist.

  Liu Erlong blushed, her lips parted slightly, her eyes filled with fear and panic.

  "Ye Qiu~ I'm sorry, I... I was just scared."

  "None of that matters! Get up now!"

  Ye Qiu interrupted her before she could finish.

  Hearing this ,

  Liu Erlong's face paled, she bit her red lips, tears welling in her eyes.

  She said stubbornly, "No matter what, I won't regret it."

  Saying this, she slowly closed her eyes, letting the tears fall.

  Seeing her start crying before he could say anything more, Ye Qiu rolled his eyes.

  "If you don't regret it, why are you crying?"

  "I... I'm just a little sad," Liu Erlong said, crying, tears already falling onto Ye Qiu.

  "Don't be sad, I'm the victim!" Ye Qiu said irritably, then pinched her chin.

  He held her slightly swollen red lips, his hands not idle as he held her.

  Liu Erlong was stunned for a moment, then slowly reciprocated, hugging Ye Qiu and giving him whatever he wanted.

  Only when she stopped sobbing did Ye Qiu slowly release her.

  Liu Erlong tilted her head back, a few tears welling up at the corners of her mouth, looking at Ye Qiu with a somewhat bewildered expression. She

  bit her red lips and said in a mournful voice,

  "Ye Qiu~ I'm sorry, I'll leave on my own later."

  "Leave?!" Ye Qiu looked at her in astonishment, gently wiping her mouth and eyes with a hint of annoyance.

  "I just woke you up, I didn't say I didn't want you."

  Ye Qiu's words brought a renewed spark to Liu Erlong's spirits, which had been somewhat despondent.

  Before she could speak, Ye Qiu gave her a sharp peck on the lips.

  He looked at her teasingly.

  "Besides... you did such a terrible thing to me, don't you need to take responsibility?"

  Liu Erlong's face flushed red, and she suddenly froze.

  Then she hugged Ye Qiu with wild joy.

  "Really? I... I will definitely take responsibility to the end, I will be good to you for the rest of my life... ouch~ uh!"

  Liu Erlong was so excited that her movements were a little too forceful, and she suddenly pulled at her wound.

  "Don't take it too seriously, I was just kidding."

  "What?! You... oh... ouch~"

  Hearing Ye Qiu's voice, Liu Erlong's face panicked again.

  She was about to speak when she sensed something, like a cool breeze, and she trembled all over, tightly pressing her legs together.

  Her cherry lips parted, and she breathed softly, her eyes tightly closed.

  Ye Qiu's soul power had recovered a little, and his hands glowed with a faint green light as he gently healed Liu Erlong's injuries.

  He looked at Liu Erlong, who was too ashamed to look at him.

  Ye Qiu chuckled softly, "Of course I'm just joking. I'm the one who should be responsible!"

  Hearing Ye Qiu's words, Liu Erlong was deeply moved and was about to open her shimmering eyes.

  However, she lost her composure and suddenly shivered.

  She clenched her teeth tightly, closed her eyes again, and her neck turned pink.

  Ye Qiu, who was using the Blue Silver Emperor's first soul skill, was also stunned for a moment, realizing that the old man was right.

  Liu Erlong gritted her teeth, the chill subsided, but she was still too ashamed to face anyone and dared not open her eyes

  …

  Ye Qiu waited for her for a while, but she remained nestled in his arms, unable to contain her shyness.

  He had no choice but to remind her,

  "Erlong, shouldn't you get up? The blankets that have been on the floor all night are a bit damp. It's not good to sleep on them for too long."

  "Yes, I… I know," Liu Erlong replied, even more embarrassed by Ye Qiu's words, and tremblingly released him.

  Freed from his restraints, Ye Qiu looked around, searching for clothes, but only saw some white strips of cloth in the corner of the screen,

  his lips twitching slightly.

  Liu Erlong also lowered her eyes, too guilty to look at him.

  In that situation, she should have just torn them apart to avoid waking Ye Qiu.

  Helpless, Ye Qiu had no choice but to use his remaining soul power to activate the Eternal Kaleidoscope.

  A set of clothes instantly appeared on the ground.

  Just as Ye Qiu was about to move, Liu Erlong grabbed his arm.

  "Husband, let... let Erlong help you."

  "No need... uh!!"

  Before Ye Qiu could finish speaking, Liu Erlong had already pulled back the covers.

  Ye Qiu was momentarily unable to look away.

  Liu Erlong, now standing up, was incredibly alluring.

  Her delicate face radiated a captivating and seductive glow.

  Her brows and eyes were full of a languid and satisfied charm.

  She possessed the unique curves of a woman, slender where she should be, and full where she should be, perfectly proportioned.

  Her shoulders were broad but not overly strong, forming a perfect balance with her slender waist.

  Her figure was shapely and alluring, exuding an irresistible charm whether she was dressed or undressed.

  Ye Qiu glared at her fiercely a few times, then his gaze shifted away furtively.

  Liu Erlong, who had been quite shy, immediately opened her arms

  , both coy and confident. She

  then slowly pulled Ye Qiu up and helped her husband dress.

  Ye Qiu didn't look at her.

  He noticed some bruises on her body and felt a pang of guilt, while cursing Dugu Bo in his heart once more.

  He continued to slowly recover his soul power.

  After helping Ye Qiu dress, Liu Erlong's face was burning red.

  She took out a towel and a small pot of drinking water from her soul tool.

  Her face flushed, she handed them to Ye Qiu.

  "Husband~ you, you help me wipe myself down."

  "Ah! Ah?!"

  Ye Qiu stared at her, stammering as he took the things.

  Liu Erlong pursed her red lips and slowly opened her arms.

  Ye Qiu swallowed hard, his hands trembling slightly.

  Every place he touched blossomed with rosy blushes.

  ...

  "Erlong, I've already treated you once. You should do it yourself, so you don't sweat all the time."

  In the end, Ye Qiu couldn't resist the temptation.

  His mouth was dry, and he felt like he was about to explode at any moment.

  This young man, full of youthful vigor, couldn't withstand the test of this slightly plump, young woman.

  After treating all the bruises on her body, Ye Qiu lowered his head, hunched over, and slunk away. "

  That old bastard Dugu Bo's medicine is really good; even after so long, the effects are still there."

  Liu Erlong looked back at Ye Qiu's retreating figure, smiling foolishly.

  Arms wrapped around himself, face flushed—this shortcut didn't seem so bad after all!

  ...

  "Hehehe, kid, not bad energy at all! It's almost noon!"

  Ye Qiu had just stepped out of the tree hole when he heard a piercing laugh.

  This caused the veins on his forehead to bulge instantly. He

  glared at Dugu Bo with resentment and snorted coldly.

  "Hmph! Isn't this all thanks to you, you old bastard!"

  "Hey! How dare you talk like that, you brat? It wasn't me who drugged you!"

  Dugu Bo, who was lying down, sat up and looked at Ye Qiu, whose steps were a little unsteady, with a mocking expression.

  "Looks like my drug worked quite well! You're quite the ladies' man, quite the ladies' man!"   Ye Qiu's face darkened

  as he watched Dugu Bo clapping his hands as he spoke.   "Laugh away, I'll tell Yan Yan that it's all your fault, you old bastard!"   "You dare?!" Sure enough, as soon as Ye Qiu finished speaking, Dugu Bo's expression changed.   His beard couldn't withstand Dugu Yan's tugging a few more times.

He immediately became furious.

  "Don't think I don't know. Even without me, your relationship is a done deal!"

  "But you put Yan Yan at the back of the line again!" Ye Qiu, supporting his waist, came to Dugu Bo's side and patted his shoulder. "Don't worry. I believe Yan Yan won't pluck all of them for you!"

  "!" Dugu Bo's hand, which was stroking his beard, suddenly tightened, and he winced in pain.

  "You brat!"

  He turned around to say something,

  but Ye Qiu ignored him and sat up to repair his soul power.

  He needed to quickly clear the remaining medicinal power from his body

  and then properly treat and recover his waist.

  In his semi-conscious state, he couldn't be as considerate as he was with Xiao Wu.

  This had hurt both of them.

  Dugu Bo, on the other hand, started pulling at his hair.

  He didn't think Ye Qiu's words were an exaggeration.

  He knew his granddaughter's personality all too well.

  "What should we do? Do we have to go out and hide again? No, no."

  "How about we get some medicine for Yan Yan too? A twins' gift package?! Hmm~ That seems feasible."

  Dugu Bo tugged at his beard, seemingly having found a way out.

  The sun blazed high in the sky.

  Ye Qiu quickly recovered fully. If he hadn't been unable to use his soul power, he wouldn't be in this state.

  He didn't go to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt any game.

  After greeting Dugu Bo,

  he ran straight back to Tian Dou City and bought some good food—food to fill his stomach, replenish his blood, and hydrate.

  The space distorted, and Ye Qiu's figure appeared out of thin air.

  Looking around, he didn't see Liu Erlong's figure and immediately became a little strange.

  "Senior Dugu, this is for you!"

  He took out a food box from the Divine Might Space and placed it in front of Dugu Bo.

  "Kid, your soul skill is really too convenient!" Dugu Bo, who was pondering a powerful fertility-enhancing formula, suddenly smelled a sumptuous meal and immediately came back to his senses.

  Ye Qiu smiled and turned to walk into the tree hole.

  "Alright, senior, you can eat slowly. I'll go check on Erlong first!"

  "Go ahead, go ahead! You've suffered enough." Dugu Bo waved his hand dismissively.

  Several black lines appeared on Ye Qiu's forehead.

  This disrespectful old man is all because of your medicine!

  Muttering to himself again, Ye Qiu walked straight inside.

  Dugu Bo was right. His physical condition was originally strong. Although he had lost his mind, he remembered that Liu Erlong seemed to be a little confused.

  Otherwise, she wouldn't have slept until late morning with tears streaming down her face.

  Passing through the screen, Ye Qiu looked at Liu Erlong, who was already dressed but still sitting sideways on the mat, somewhat puzzled.

  "Erlong, what's wrong?"

  Liu Erlong, her face slightly embarrassed, opened her arms to Ye Qiu.

  Ye Qiu squatted down, embraced her graceful body, and helped her stand up.

  "Husband, I... I'm still a little sore,"

  Liu Erlong leaned against Ye Qiu, looking up at him shyly.

  She didn't want to blame him, after all, she had brought this on herself, but there was still some fear in her eyes.

  "Uh..." Ye Qiu touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.

  He forced a serious expression and said, "It was my oversight."

  He then used the first soul skill of the Blue Silver Emperor, Unending Life, to heal her from all angles.

  After she had fully recovered, Ye Qiu pushed her wriggling body away.

  A little embarrassed, he turned his back.

  "Pfft, hahaha," Liu Erlong looked at him, blushing, and let out a hearty laugh.

  Ye Qiu was indeed more interesting at this moment!

  "Alright, hurry up and come out, lest you get smelled again," Ye Qiu turned his head, gave her a disgruntled look, and was about to walk out.

  Liu Erlong blushed and sniffed, not finding it strange at all.

  "Wait a moment."

  Hearing her voice, Ye Qiu turned around again, looking at her with confusion.

  He saw Liu Erlong folding up the slightly damp quilt, revealing a white cloth embroidered with red plum blossoms underneath.

  Ye Qiu was stunned when he saw the white cloth.

  No wonder she went to the trouble of placing a white cloth that would easily get dirty on the mat in this kind of place; it turned out she had planned this all along!

  Liu Erlong smiled, carefully folded the cloth, held it to her chest, and then put it into her soul tool.

  She looked up, about to put away the screen.

  Seeing Ye Qiu's meaningful eyes, her face immediately turned red.

  She awkwardly put away the screen.

  Somewhat uncomfortably, she walked to Ye Qiu's side and took his arm.

  "Husband, let's go."

  "Don't call me 'husband' anymore

  ." "Why? Are you still angry with me?" Before Ye Qiu could finish speaking, Liu Erlong looked at him anxiously and worriedly.

  "How could I?! We're inseparable now, but aren't you still the dean? It's better to use that term in private from now on."

  Ye Qiu put his arm around her waist and gently squeezed it.

  "Hmph! What are you afraid of? If anyone dares to say anything, I'll tear their mouth apart!"

  Liu Erlong didn't think so, raising her fist and waving it. She didn't care about these things.

  She just wanted to spend her whole life with Ye Qiu!

  "Okay, okay! Whatever!" Ye Qiu's forehead creased with a few black lines, feeling a little embarrassed.

  Just now he was all soft and shy, looking hurt and embarrassed, but now he's calling her "my husband" all the time.

  "Whatever makes you happy! Let's go." Ye Qiu took her hand and walked outside.

  Liu Erlong followed closely behind, holding Ye Qiu's arm.

  "Well, I'm glad my husband isn't angry with me!"

  ...

  The two walked together, and seeing Dugu Bo's teasing gaze, both of them looked somewhat embarrassed.

  Liu Erlong bowed slightly to Dugu Bo.

  "Your Majesty Dugu, Erlong thanks you for your help."

  Dugu Bo squinted, glancing at Ye Qiu, who seemed somewhat unfriendly towards him.

  He raised his hand to stop her.

  "No need!"

  Liu Erlong looked at Dugu Bo strangely.

  Ye Qiu, however, had already walked to the side and began to release some tonics she had bought and a small table from her divine power space.

  Dugu Bo looked at Ye Qiu, his beard bristling and eyes wide.

  He said to Liu Erlong,

  "No need to thank me! I've gotten myself into trouble for helping you. One of you is thanking me, and the other is blaming me. Why don't you two settle this internally and even it out?" "

  ?" Liu Erlong was a little confused by Dugu Bo's attitude.

  Little did she know that Dugu Bo still thought it was better for Ye Qiu to let things go. Even if he gave the medicine to his granddaughter, she might not accept it.

  Liu Erlong glanced at Ye Qiu, then gently shook her head.

  "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I cannot make the decision for my husband, Ye Qiu!"

  Liu Erlong's face suddenly flushed red when she mentioned her husband in front of others. Her

  earlier assertiveness was completely gone.

  She quickly changed her form of address.

  "Alright, Erlong, come and fill your stomach. You must be quite exhausted, and you still have to absorb a soul ring later!"

  Ye Qiu gave her a teasing look

  and called her over.

  "Okay! Coming."

  Liu Erlong responded softly, her face red as she took small, quick steps to sit down opposite Ye Qiu.

  She frowned as she looked at Ye Qiu, inwardly regretting that she had suddenly become unable to speak.

  Dugu Bo's gaze followed Liu Erlong to Ye Qiu.

  "You brat, you really don't know what's good for you!"

  He angrily took a swig of wine.

  Thinking of his granddaughter, he felt somewhat annoyed.

  What a scoundrel! He had wanted to see how this brat would explain things to Yan Yan.

  Now look what happened!

  He didn't even bother explaining to the kid, just took advantage of him and shifted the blame onto himself.

  The kid was now happily surrounded

  by women, all was well! It seemed he couldn't just help Ye Qiu's women in the future!

  A lesson learned, Dugu Bo secretly made a mental note.

  Ye Qiu had no time to deal with him.

  He was busy adding food to Liu Erlong's plate.

  "Erlong, drink more of this chicken soup. It has angelica, goji berries, and other things in it; it's good for replenishing qi, blood, and fluids."

  "Mmm, thank you, husband."

  Liu Erlong, holding her bowl and chopsticks, blushed and responded softly to Ye Qiu.

  She was determined to slowly get used to this form of address.

  Meanwhile, Dugu Bo, not far away, suddenly shuddered.

  He glanced at them with disdain,

  picked up his things, and moved away.

  This action made Liu Erlong even more embarrassed, and she even glared fiercely at Dugu Bo, who had turned his back.

  Ye Qiu had no doubt.

  If she could fight back, she definitely wouldn't have held back.

  "Husband, Ye Qiu, you've worked hard too, have something to eat!"

  Liu Erlong gritted her teeth, but still didn't say anything.

  Seeing Ye Qiu's somewhat teasing gaze, she blushed and glared at him, looking charming and alluring.

  ...

  Noon had passed.

  Ye Qiu and the others were finally about to begin their soul-hunting journey again.

  Walking in the Star Dou Great Forest, Dugu Bo had just used the Azure Scale Serpent King's Poison to scare away a wave of soul beasts.

  He glanced at Liu Erlong, who was always clinging to Ye Qiu, and immediately looked away, unable to bear looking at her.

  He asked Ye Qiu,

  "I said, are you sure her body is okay if we go soul-hunting now?"

  He knew what kind of medicine he used, enough to make anyone want to share their knowledge.

  "Don't worry, with my treatment, Erlong's body has already recovered completely, there won't be any problems!"

  Ye Qiu put away his X-ray vision and replied to him.

  "Kid, speaking of which, I'd like to ask you, where did your healing soul skill come from? Isn't that little blue girl's soul skill?"

  Dugu Bo looked at Ye Qiu strangely. Although he was in the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch at the time, he

  could still hear some noises.

  Ye Qiu smiled lightly. He didn't pretend anymore and directly revealed his hand.

  He raised his hand, and a golden Blue Silver Emperor with a red and blue halo appeared in his palm.

  He said with a smile, "Senior, I actually have a special twin martial soul!"

  "Twin martial soul?!" Dugu Bo suddenly widened his eyes and rushed towards Ye Qiu.

  Liu Erlong was so frightened that she stood aside.

  "That's right, it's a twin martial soul! And it's a twin martial soul that can be used simultaneously!"

  Three purple soul rings suddenly appeared on the Blue Silver Emperor in Ye Qiu's hand, the third one even faintly turning black.

  The third soul ring lit up, and several small blue and red fruits grew on the Blue Silver Emperor.

  At the same time, Ye Qiu's Sharingan also lit up.

  Three dark purple spirit rings rose beneath his feet.

  The first purple spirit ring lit up, and a tree branch in the distance was suddenly snapped off.

  "Good, good, good! You've been hiding this well!"

  Dugu Bo exclaimed three times, his eyes brimming with undisguised joy .

  He patted Ye Qiu's shoulder so hard it made a loud thud.

  "Your Majesty!" Liu Erlong quickly pulled Ye Qiu to her side.

  Dugu Bo didn't pay attention to this small detail, marveling at the situation.

  "I never imagined the relationship between you and Xiao Lan was so wondrous! The world is full of wonders!"

He wasn't unfamiliar with Xiao Lan's spirit skills; she and Yan Yan had sparred before.

  These identical spirits and spirit skills spoke volumes!

  "I just got lucky!" Ye Qiu smiled nonchalantly,

  making Dugu Bo feel he deserved a beating.

  "Alright, alright, let's continue looking for suitable spirit beasts!" Dugu Bo waved his hand, but the barely suppressed smile revealed his inner excitement.

  Twin spirits! And they could be used simultaneously!

  This initial investment is increasingly exceeding his expectations!

  "Erlong, let's go!" Ye Qiu quickly followed, taking Liu Erlong with him.

  ...

  Under the scanning vision of Ye Qiu's Sharingan, the efficiency in finding soul beasts was quite high.

  They encountered quite a few acceptable ones, some fire-attribute, some with a bit of dragon blood, all ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts.

  But none of them were very satisfactory.

  It was dusk again, and Ye Qiu and the others were resting under a tree.

  Liu Erlong took a couple of gulps of water from the water bottle and then held it to Ye Qiu's lips.

  "Ye Qiu, have some water!"

  Dugu Bo covered his face, picked up the water bottle, and gulped down the water.

  He tilted his head back high, trying to avoid seeing it.

  "Hmm!" Ye Qiu chuckled and nodded, not refusing. He

  looked up,

  but suddenly saw something, opened his mouth, and choked.

  "Pfft...cough cough!"

  "Ye Qiu, are you alright? I didn't mean to." Liu Erlong hurriedly patted Ye Qiu's back.

  Dugu Bo also heard the commotion, looking gloating, as if he had gotten his revenge.

  "I'm fine, I'm fine!"

  Ye Qiu shook his head, quickly looked up, opened his Sharingan, and looked at a cliff in the distance.

  There seemed to be a suitable soul beast for Liu Erlong there!
