Liu Erlong paused for a moment, her pretty face flushing red at the thought of competing with those children for attention, even being gossiped about behind her back. She
gently shook her head.
"No, you go see them yourself!"
"Alright! We'll have a chance to meet when they come to Tiandou City later."
Ye Qiu didn't force her, and was about to reach out and pinch her hand when she grabbed it.
Liu Erlong rolled her eyes at him, took Ye Qiu's hand, and wiped it on her body to dry it.
"Haha." Ye Qiu chuckled dryly, almost forgetting that his hands were covered in oil from wiping them earlier.
"By the way! You should absorb this bone from the 50,000-year-old Giant Horned Rhinoceros!"
Ye Qiu said, taking out the soul bone and handing it to Liu Erlong.
"No need, I already have this Thunder Flame."
"Alright! I don't need it myself. Although its age is a bit low, you're being targeted for no reason, so you still need to improve your strength as soon as possible!"
Ye Qiu didn't give her a chance to refuse, directly pushing her to her soft spot and stuffing her into her arms.
Being targeted by those evil soul masters, she needed enough strength to protect herself.
If it weren't for the fact that the few fire attribute soul bones Ye Qiu had were too low in age, Ye Qiu would have wanted to let her absorb them all.
Although those evil soul masters probably wouldn't make a move directly in Heaven Dou City, it's better to be prepared!
Low age?!
Liu Erlong gave Ye Qiu a strange look. Didn't this guy know how rare soul bones were?
Some titled Douluo didn't even have a single ten-thousand-year soul bone.
Thinking this, she didn't refuse anymore.
She knew Ye Qiu was telling the truth and didn't want Ye Qiu to worry too much, so she nodded slightly.
"Yes, I understand!"
"Alright, then I'll be going now!" Ye Qiu took a small sip, tasting a hint of sweetness.
"My lord~ you must remember to come see me every day!" Liu Erlong gently bit Ye Qiu's neck, leaving a red mark.
"Don't worry, I remember everything I promised you! See you tomorrow."
"Okay, see you tomorrow." Liu Erlong's red lips curled slightly. Actually, she wanted Ye Qiu to come every night, so she wouldn't have to shamelessly drag him into daytime lovemaking.
Ye Qiu gently pushed away her ample bosom.
Then he slowly walked out into the courtyard surrounded by the wooden house.
"Phew~" He breathed in the fresh forest air, feeling refreshed.
Ye Qiu couldn't help but sigh at Liu Erlong's charm; it was simply irresistible.
She was like a slightly chubby little tank—whoever drove her was happy!
After sighing, he couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. He didn't know how to explain it to Rongrong and the other two girls.
If Xiao Wu spoiled her one more time, everything would be fine.
Zhu Zhuqing might have objections but probably wouldn't say anything, which was also manageable.
The most difficult one to deal with was Ning Rongrong. She was queuing peacefully when someone suddenly cut in line, and she was bound to get furious.
But isn't that part of what makes the girls so adorable?
Their different personalities bring Ye Qiu different kinds of fun.
He shook his head and gave a wry smile.
A flash of crimson light appeared in his eyes, and his figure swept away, disappearing from the spot.
Inside the room, Liu Erlong watched Ye Qiu's figure disappear, her face instantly turning bright red.
She rolled around happily on the bed, wrapped in the blanket, inhaling Ye Qiu's lingering scent, slowly wriggling, her body gradually trembling.
"Hoo~" She exhaled a large breath of hot air, a hint of happiness flashing in her eyes, a slight smile playing on her lips.
"Looks like I'll have to go find Yuehua tonight. I wonder what's wrong with that woman."
...
Shrek Academy.
It was still some time before noon.
Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others were still completing the long, arduous map-running task under Yu Xiaogang's guidance.
Xiao Wu and the other two girls were staying in their dormitory.
Flander and the others had tried to persuade them to join the cultivation group.
Out of curiosity, Zhu Zhuqing had actually gone to take a look.
After seeing it, they completely lost interest.
Just as Ye Qiu and Xiao Wu had said, it was all running, running while carrying stones.
Seeing this, Ning Rongrong shook her head vigorously, even faster than when she played with Ye Qiu.
So, the three girls simply asked for a long leave.
To make the leave go smoothly, Ning Rongrong revealed her cultivation level, lying that her family had provided her with rare and precious materials to enhance it.
Only Oscar knew the truth, but he didn't say anything.
Flander, though helpless, couldn't persuade them otherwise; after all, he couldn't push these geniuses too hard.
Otherwise, if they really ran away, his academy would be finished.
Yu Xiaogang, though forceful, dared not say anything more after almost being thrown to the ground by Xiao Wu.
So, the three of them were free.
The Shrek Seven Devils were still only superficially united.
During this time, Ning Rongrong had spoken with Oscar, asking him to recruit Shao Xin, a food-type Soul Saint, to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Oscar readily agreed, quite confident.
Meanwhile, in the room,
Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu were idly playing cards, while Zhu Zhuqing sat cross-legged on the bed, diligently cultivating.
"Xiao Wu, what did Ye Qiu do?! I'm so bored!" Ning Rongrong threw down her cards and rolled around on the bed.
"Rongrong, you've thought about Xiao Qiu so many times today! If you keep cheating, I won't play with you anymore!" Xiao Wu pouted, annoyed at Ning Rongrong's renewed cheating.
"Haha!" Ning Rongrong laughed, clutching her budding chest, as Xiao Wu finally realized what was happening.
"Hmph!" Xiao Wu snorted, her face falling, and put the cards away in her soul tool.
She cherished everything Ye Qiu made.
"Sorry, Xiao Wu." Ning Rongrong rolled over to Xiao Wu's side, leaned against her thigh, and stuck out her tongue.
Turning around, she hugged Xiao Wu's waist and whispered,
"But I really miss him, don't you?"
"How could I?! Xiao Qiu has been gone for several days, and Sister Xiao Wu misses him too!"
Xiao Wu seemed to have seized the opportunity for revenge, pinching Ning Rongrong's face and rubbing it repeatedly.
"Ouch... Xiao Wu!" Ning Rongrong pretended to bite her, glaring at her. "What if you pinch my face too big?" "
Speaking of which, Zhu Qing hasn't been out much these past few days?" Xiao Wu looked at Zhu Zhu Qing, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed.
"It must be that scumbag tiger, bothering Zhu Qing again!" Ning Rongrong was indignant. If she weren't just a support-type Soul Master, she would have wanted to beat up Dai Mubai.
"Speaking of which, Xiao Wu, is that Tang San not afraid of being beaten? Just like that scumbag tiger, he's like a leech!"
"How should I know?" Xiao Wu rolled her eyes helplessly.
...
At the entrance of the three girls' dormitory, Ye Qiu had been there for a while.
He waved his hand, then hesitated.
He still hadn't figured out how to explain to them.
If he directly said that he would go back to the past, they would probably think he was just making up a lame excuse.
It was a lose-lose situation.
After much hesitation, Ye Qiu knocked on the door.
Knock knock!
"Who is it?!" Xiao Wu's voice, sweet yet arrogant, came from inside.
"I'm back!" Ye Qiu said softly.
"Ah! It's Xiao Qiu, Xiao Qiu is back!"
Click!
Two joyful voices came from inside, and the door opened from the inside.
Then a figure darted out.
"Pfft cough cough,"
Ye Qiu was hit hard, almost losing his balance.
"Xiao Qiu! *kiss*"
Xiao Wu's voice rang in his ears, and raindrops suddenly splashed onto his face, making him wet.
"Ah! Xiao Wu, you're so mean!" Ning Rongrong angrily pulled at Xiao Wu's jade-like feet by the door, trying to drag her down.
Why did this rabbit jump off the bed onto Ye Qiu with a kick after she opened the door?!
"Alright, alright, Rongrong, stop fooling around! Don't hurt Xiao Wu." Ye Qiu smiled wryly, his voice muffled. Xiao
Wu stood between Ye Qiu and Ning Rongrong, Ning Rongrong holding his jade-like feet, while Xiao Wu wrapped her arms around his neck.
They forcibly dragged him inside.
As a result, he didn't see the several bags of wilted carrots by the door.
"I'm not fooling around! Humph." Ning Rongrong retorted unhappily, but still obediently put Xiao Wu's jade-like feet down. "
Xiao Qiu~"
Freed from her jade-like feet, Xiao Wu boldly wrapped her arms around Ye Qiu and began to nibble at him haphazardly. *
Crunch!*
Ye Qiu, supporting her shapely buttocks, closed the door and walked to the bed.
As soon as he sat down,
Ning Rongrong eagerly squeezed in, each sitting on one side of Ye Qiu's lap, leaning against his shoulder.
They only stopped when Ye Qiu's face was completely dry.
"Have you kissed enough?"
Looking at the two women who couldn't help but laugh, Ye Qiu rolled his eyes helplessly and used his divine power to throw them onto the bed.
He went to the bathroom, washed his face, and felt a little better.
When he came out, Zhu Zhuqing had already finished her cultivation.
"Ye Qiu~" Her eyes filled with longing, she nestled into Ye Qiu's arms.
Compared to Rongrong and the other two women, Zhu Zhuqing was much more docile.
Ye Qiu held the soft jade in his arms and gently carried her to the bedside.
He didn't let go of her, his arms tightly wrapped around her waist.
When they talked later, holding Zhu Zhuqing was obviously much safer and more comfortable than holding the other two women.
Zhu Zhuqing leaned against Ye Qiu's chest, too shy to look up, or perhaps she didn't want to.
Suddenly, her brow furrowed.
She sensed something unusual.
She glanced strangely at Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu, dismissing their suspicions.
"Ye Qiu, what have you been up to these past few days?" Ning Rongrong pouted, jumping onto Zhu Zhuqing's bed, looking at him curiously.
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing also stared at him expectantly.
"Uh..." Ye Qiu hesitated for a moment, then decided to keep it brief.
"I went to the Star Dou Great Forest, encountered the evil soul master who was trying to assassinate Xue Qinghe, and then saved a woman..."
At this point, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly understood.
But Ye Qiu's next words froze her expression.
"Senior Dugu saved us, and then Erlong and I had some indescribable things happen..."
"..."
Ning Rongrong and the other girls stared blankly at Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu, also uneasy, watched them quietly.
Zhu Zhuqing remained calm, but her grip on Ye Qiu's chest tightened noticeably.
Xiao Wu looked shocked and resentful, while Ning Rongrong's face was flushed with anger.
Suddenly, she shouted,
"Ye Qiu!? Why are you seeing another woman? You...you really need one? I'm always ready!"
Ning Rongrong angrily grabbed Ye Qiu's collar, offering him her own flesh, but he refused. He
insisted on going to great lengths to find one himself!
It's infuriating!
All that practice in pleasing him was for nothing.
Tears welled in her eyes.
"Yeah, Xiao Qiu, we can both!" Xiao Wu also looked at him resentfully, her cheeks puffed out, clearly unhappy.
Zhu Zhuqing rolled her eyes at Ye Qiu, quickly stood up, and gave her seat to Ning Rongrong, watching quietly from the side.
"It's that Dugu Bo again! He's gone too far! I'll definitely get Grandpa Jian and the others to teach him a lesson!"
Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth and viciously grabbed Ye Qiu's neck.
"Cough cough... Rongrong, there's a reason for this, we can't blame Senior Dugu entirely."
Ye Qiu scratched his head sheepishly.
"What? You mean... you didn't do it willingly?"
Ning Rongrong pressed Ye Qiu down on the bed, sat on his chest, and punched his shoulder twice.
"You bastard...!"
Tears welled up in his eyes as he spoke.
He had only been at her house proposing marriage for a short while, and he was already sleeping with another woman.
"This..." Before Ye Qiu could finish speaking,
seeing his hesitation, Ning Rongrong couldn't take it anymore.
"I... I'll bite you to death!" Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth and lowered her head to bite.
"Ah, Rongrong... Xiao Qiu!" Xiao Wu saw the pain flash across Ye Qiu's face and grabbed Ning Rongrong's arm.
It wasn't until she tasted something metallic in her mouth that she came to her senses.
Drops of blood seeped through his clothes, and drops of tears fell onto Ye Qiu's wound.
"You stinky thing, you've only been gone a few days! And you've already ruined another one."
"I'm sorry!"
Ye Qiu gently patted Ning Rongrong's back, his eyes also looking at Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, a hint of apology in them.
"Hmph! It's always like this!" Ning Rongrong kept hitting Ye Qiu's chest, letting him wipe away her tears.
"Xiao Qiu, you should hurry up and treat your injury!" A hint of heartache flashed in Xiao Wu's eyes as she pulled open her collar, revealing two rows of teeth marks on her shoulder.
"Yeah! Hurry up and treat it, don't get my bed dirty!"
Seeing that Ye Qiu wanted to refuse, Zhu Zhuqing also rolled her eyes at him.
What they needed wasn't this kind of apology.
Ye Qiu chuckled dryly, glancing at Ning Rongrong, only to see her give him a cold look before leaning down again.
Thinking she was going to bite him again, his body tensed up.
Suddenly, a slightly wet, slippery sensation washed over him.
Ning Rongrong was actually slowly cleaning Ye Qiu's blood, circling around and slowly sucking it dry.
"Hurry up and heal him!"
After a while, she slowly raised her head, her eyes red as she glared at Ye Qiu.
"Thank you, Rongrong," Ye Qiu said softly, then activated the first soul skill of the Blue Silver Emperor, Endless Life, to heal his wounds.
"If you keep going like this, Xiao Wu and the others will tie you up and imprison you, so you can just stay with the three of us!"
Ning Rongrong cried, her eyes brimming with tears, still sobbing. Her words sent chills down Ye Qiu's spine.
This was no laughing matter!
Zhu Zhuqing also looked at Ning Rongrong with surprise, then at Ye Qiu, considering the feasibility of this method. Xiao
Wu, who wasn't very bright, suddenly lit up, her eyes flashing with eagerness.
Seeing this, Ye Qiu's expression became somewhat flustered.
"Rongrong, you're not serious, are you?!"
Seeing the panic in Ye Qiu's eyes, Ning Rongrong paused, her eyes darting around, and pinched Ye Qiu's cheek.
"If you... if you dare to flirt like this again, I'll really do it!"
"Listen to my explanation!"
Ye Qiu smiled wryly, not caring whether they believed him or not. For the sake of having fun in the future without having to live in fear of being stabbed every day,
he still felt it was better to tell them the truth.
"Okay! Then I'll listen to your explanation. If your explanation doesn't satisfy us, hmph..."
Ning Rongrong looked at Ye Qiu strangely, who seemed to have something difficult to say, her curiosity piqued.
She continued to sit on Ye Qiu, pressing down on him, and slowly said.
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing also lay down on either side of Ye Qiu, the three women looking down at him from above.
"Xiao Qiu, don't lie! Sister Xiao Wu can tell,"
Xiao Wu poked Ye Qiu's cheek, looking at him with a smile.
"Ye Qiu, no matter what, I will never leave you!"
Zhu Zhuqing said softly, her face flushed, and lightly pecked Ye Qiu's lips.
"!"
Seeing the three women's stance, Ye Qiu's heart suddenly raced.
Their words were almost mesmerizing.
"I definitely won't lie to you."
"That's for the best!" Seeing Ye Qiu's somewhat frightened expression, Ning Rongrong couldn't suppress a smug smile.
"Do you believe in time travel?"
"Huh?!"
The three women were confused by Ye Qiu's words.
Ye Qiu clarified again:
"What I mean is, do you believe someone can go back to the past?"
"Oh, you! Ye Qiu, do you think we're stupid enough to be fooled by you?!"
Ning Rongrong frowned, then sat on Ye Qiu's chest again, pulling him down slightly.
This made it difficult for Ye Qiu to breathe.
"I'm telling the truth, Rongrong!" Ye Qiu said with difficulty, clinging to Ning Rongrong's waist.
"I have an example, a living example," Ye Qiu suddenly remembered something, and a look of joy appeared on his face.
Seeing that Ye Qiu didn't seem to be faking it, Xiao Wu and the other two girls exchanged glances, then looked at Ye Qiu.
"Xiao Qiu~ the example you're talking about isn't yourself,
is it?" "Of course not!" Ye Qiu shook his head. He only had a vague understanding of what happened when he returned to the past, and using himself wouldn't be convincing.
"Then who is it? Is it that Liu Erlong sister?" Zhu Zhuqing also looked at Ye Qiu strangely.
But after she finished speaking, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu were caught off guard.
They looked at her with resentment.
"Zhuqing, you just spoil him!"
Ning Rongrong pouted, feeling like she was being made to play the bad guy.
Ye Qiu also glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, who was a little shy and concerned.
"The example I mentioned is actually someone you all know!" Coming back to his senses, Ye Qiu said seriously.
"We know each other too?!" Ning Rongrong was surprised, quickly focusing on Shrek Academy.
This was the only place all three girls were equally familiar with.
A look of realization flashed in her eyes, but before she could speak, Xiao Wu interrupted,
"Xiao Qiu, you mean Tang San?!"
She had long felt that Tang San was acting strangely.
"That's right, it's Tang San!"
Ye Qiu nodded: "Weren't you wondering where his hidden weapons and techniques came from? These are products of another world called the Tang Sect. Tang San was a disciple of the Tang Sect, but he stole something, was discovered and chased, and then jumped off a cliff!"
"No wonder, no wonder Tang San was so mature! So that's how it is," Zhu Zhuqing murmured, her doubts resolved.
"This is too far-fetched!" Ning Rongrong stared at Ye Qiu, unable to recover for a long time.
Then she frowned again.
"So, you mean you will go back to the past, and Liu Erlong is actually a debt of love you incurred in the past!"
"It's hard to believe, but it's true!" Ye Qiu nodded quickly.
"Ye Qiu, you're really amazing!" Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ye Qiu and couldn't help but touch his cheek, somewhat amazed.
"Mmm!" Xiao Wu also looked at Ye Qiu with shining eyes.
"Even if it's true, how do we know if you're lying? Do you use this as an excuse every time you have another woman?"
Ning Rongrong was a bit persistent, staring intently at Ye Qiu.
"How could I lie? I swear!"
"No need! I believe you!"
Just as Ye Qiu was about to raise his hand, Ning Rongrong suddenly leaned over him and hugged him tightly.
"Really? You're not trying to lower my guard so you can imprison me, are you?"
"Pfft, haha, how could I bear to imprison you! I was just saying it in anger!"
Seeing Ye Qiu's somewhat frightened appearance, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Zhu Zhuqing, however, was a little puzzled as to why Ye Qiu was so afraid of this thing.
Then, Ning Rongrong gently leaned close to Ye Qiu's ear and whispered,
"Even if you really lied to me, I wouldn't do it."
"Yes, yes! Me too." Xiao Wu nodded quickly from the side.
"Xiao Wu, you didn't seem to be thinking that way just now, did you?" Zhu Zhuqing rolled her eyes and gave her a disapproving look.
"Who said that? I was thinking about how to rescue Xiao Qiu!" Xiao Wu stuck out her tongue; she wouldn't hurt Xiao Qiu!
Ye Qiu breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the three women calm down.
"Rongrong, it's time to get up; you've been sitting for so long." Seeing that things were over, Xiao Wu couldn't wait for Ning Rongrong to let go of Ye Qiu.
Ning Rongrong pouted; after letting him play the bad guy, she was going to discard him after he had served his purpose.
"Ye Qiu, actually, my anger this time isn't just because you have another woman!"
"Hmph! Who told you to refuse what's right in front of you and insist on having someone outside, especially after the marriage proposal?"
Ning Rongrong said resentfully as she got up and helped Ye Qiu straighten his disheveled clothes.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to," Ye Qiu smiled bitterly. He hadn't expected to confess so quickly. He
really hadn't expected Liu Erlong to act so fast! And Dugu Bo had also joined in the fun.
"Alright! You're getting more and more shameless, getting the benefit and still acting innocent!"
Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes at him, sat back in his lap, and hugged him tightly.
"Ye Qiu, I don't care if what you say is true or false, or how many women you have, but you have to remember what you promised me! You're not allowed to be biased! Even if you are, it can only be towards me!"
"Rongrong, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to say that in front of me and Xiaowu?
" "That's right! Why should I be biased towards you!"
"Hmph! Anyway, you can't bully me!" Ning Rongrong snorted coldly at the two women.
"Speaking of which..." Ye Qiu reluctantly raised his hand, feeling that the women's focus was somewhat off.
"Xiao Qiu... what did you say?" Xiaowu looked at him strangely.
"Speaking of which, aren't you all going to refute what Rongrong said earlier? Then can I find more..."
"Ye Qiu! Go to hell!"
Before Ye Qiu could finish speaking, Ning Rongrong reacted and bit Ye Qiu's face directly.
"Ah! Rongrong... be gentle!"
"Xiaowu, Zhuqing! You too!"
Zhu Zhuqing and Xiaowu, who were standing to the side, also looked at each other and bit down hard on one shoulder.
After a long while, Ye Qiu finally escaped the girls' clutches.
"Don't even think about it! Our house isn't a place anyone can just walk into!"
Ning Rongrong, knowing her place, didn't want Ye Qiu to blush, gently wiping away the drool.
"That's right! Don't even think about it! Only someone we all agree on can you bring back, Xiao Qiu!" Xiao Wu, grinning and nodding, chimed in.
"That Meng Yiran from before was pretty good!" Zhu Zhuqing was even more direct.
She hadn't lied to Meng Yiran.
Before and after meeting Meng Yiran, the three girls had already gained some understanding of Ye Qiu's womanizing ways and had strategies for dealing with it. That was
to maintain harmony while seeing if the other woman truly couldn't live without Ye Qiu, whether this bastard Ye Qiu had even developed feelings, and so on.
Ye Qiu stared blankly at the three girls, suddenly wondering if he had demonized them in his mind?
Were they already making choices for him?
Thinking of this, Ye Qiu swallowed back his plan to take the initiative and win over Qian Renxue.
Her identity was simply too sensitive.
"Hmph! This time you dared to speak first and then inform me later, so you're punished by sleeping alone in your dorm tonight!"
Ning Rongrong's eyes darted around, and she suddenly pointed in the direction of Ye Qiu's dorm.
A fleeting, almost imperceptible cunning flashed in her eyes.
Ye Qiu was taken aback and didn't speak.
"What? Is something wrong again?" Ning Rongrong looked at Ye Qiu curiously.
"Yes, I have to go to the Crown Prince's residence tonight!" Ye Qiu nodded.
