"Alright, let's not think about these things for now, let's go eat!"
Ye Qiu smiled, putting the matter aside for the time being.
"We're going to my house today, I already agreed with Dad last time!" Ning Rongrong came up behind Ye Qiu and hugged his neck.
"Okay!"
Ye Qiu nodded, his eyes flashing red, and led the three girls to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for a meal.
"Kid, you're late!"
When Ye Qiu arrived with the three girls, Ning Fengzhi and the other two were already seated.
The white-haired, youthful-looking Sword Douluo was still full of energy.
After absorbing that soul bone, Sword Douluo had reached the edge of breaking through to level 97.
When Ye Qiu dealt with Nangong and the others last time, he still had quite a few ten-thousand-year soul bones.
They originally wanted to help him, but he refused.
In his own words,
he just lacked an opportunity, and those soul bones were better left for Ye Qiu and the others.
Before Ye Qiu could speak, Ning Rongrong said sweetly,
"I'm not that late! The dishes aren't even all served yet!"
"Haha, Rongrong, why are you always siding with outsiders? Your Sword Grandpa is getting a little sad."
Bone Douluo laughed loudly from the side.
"Bone Grandpa, I'm not siding with outsiders! Isn't Ye Qiu one of us?"
"Alright, Rongrong~" Ye Qiu twitched the corner of his mouth, stopping her.
"Greetings, Uncle Ning, and the two seniors!"
Ye Qiu and Xiao Wu said in unison.
"Hmm, alright. Sit down quickly!" Ning Fengzhi, who had been watching quietly from the side, smiled gently and invited everyone to sit down.
...
After a pleasant lunch, Ye Qiu took Xiao Wu and the others to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well for cultivation.
Inside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Xiao Wu and the other two girls cultivated on the side.
Ye Qiu, on the other hand, sat at the table chatting with Dugu Bo.
"Senior Dugu, after Xue Beng left you a letter last time, has he not contacted you again?"
"How would I know? I haven't been back to Tian Dou City recently."
Dugu Bo shook his head.
He was also somewhat puzzled as to why Xue Beng knew about his poisoning.
However, he didn't want to get involved in such matters and simply pretended not to have seen it.
In any case, the snake venom in his body was currently quite stable.
Besides, with the Blood Swan Kiss on his side, Dugu Bo wasn't afraid that anyone would come knocking on his door and force him to do anything.
Ye Qiu also shook his head and smiled, but at the same time, his heart was somewhat heavy.
Xue Beng was already openly preparing his forces for the throne.
He wondered what unexpected things might happen during Qian Renxue's palace coup.
Xue Ke's situation also seemed to be getting more complicated! After all,
Emperor Xue Ye was her biological father.
If Qian Renxue failed, he absolutely could not let Xue Beng ascend to the throne.
That guy's纨绔 (wán kù, a spoiled, dissolute young man) nature didn't seem to be an act, not to mention that he had also sided with those murderous evil soul masters!
Ye Qiu rubbed his temples, relieved to have some time and the power behind him was considerable.
He suddenly looked at Dugu Bo, his expression somewhat shy.
"By the way, senior! Do you have any medicine?"
"Hmm?" Dugu Bo raised his dark green eyebrows, looking at Ye Qiu with surprise.
"What? You've finally figured it out? Planning to make a move on some woman?"
"Ahem... senior, what nonsense are you talking about!" Ye Qiu coughed twice, his eyes showing embarrassment.
Ye Qiu wouldn't stoop to such despicable means to get any woman.
If he really wanted to, a single glare would suffice!
"You should know Zhu Qing's identity, right? I want her fiancé completely eradicated!"
"Hey kid! You don't need my medicine! Just chop him up!" Dugu Bo snorted twice; his Poison Douluo's medicine wasn't something you could just beg for.
"Alright, you're right!"
Ye Qiu rolled his eyes helplessly; it was indeed true.
"Yan Yan will be arriving in Soto City soon. Bring her back for me so I can have a good look at her!"
Dugu Bo's eyes flashed with longing; he hadn't seen his granddaughter for several months and missed her dearly.
"I know that. I'll bring her back to see you, old man!" Ye Qiu nodded, feeling a sense of anticipation for seeing Dugu Yan. It was time to give her an explanation.
...
Night slowly fell, and Ye Qiu bid farewell to Dugu Bo with the three women.
He then took them to the Lake of Life to visit Da Ming and Er Ming.
Because Xiao Wu and the others often came here, a small wooden cabin had been built not far from the lake. It was a
simple two-bedroom, one-living room cabin.
Ye Qiu also occasionally stayed here overnight, no longer needing to sneak off with Xiao Wu to the nearby Blue Silver Royal Forest for their intimate moments.
Although being in nature certainly had its own charm,
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing weren't incapable of pleasing him; he was almost an expert himself.
Since the three women were all doing similar things, they didn't hide anything from each other.
When it was Ye Qiu's turn to be alone, the other two women slept in another room.
"Ye Qiu, tonight it's my turn, you'd better come back early!" Ning Rongrong clung to Ye Qiu triumphantly, her body twisting and rubbing against him, her face flushed with excitement.
"Hmm, don't worry, I'll handle them soon!" Ye Qiu nodded, his heart also burning with desire. He pinched her chin and gave it a light kiss.
"Zhuqing, tonight I'll settle this engagement for you!" Ye Qiu looked at Zhu Zhuqing, unusually assertive.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded silently, not asking how to completely resolve the issue; she just needed to trust him.
"Alright, keep an eye on Xiao Wu and the others' training. I'll be going now!"
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing nod, Ye Qiu disappeared without a trace.
...
Ye Qiu returned to Shrek Academy.
His Sharingan glowed purple. In Tang San's dormitory, only Oscar was present.
Was he late?
Ye Qiu frowned slightly, his figure vanishing and reappearing in front of Oscar.
"Ye Qiu?!" Oscar was stunned, a look of surprise flashing across his face.
This kind of elusive soul skill, no matter how many times he saw it, was enough to amaze him.
"Yes!" Ye Qiu nodded slightly.
"Ye Qiu, is there something you need from me?" Oscar looked at him questioningly.
"Do you know where Tang San and the others went?" Ye Qiu nodded and asked directly.
"Oh, they all seem to have gone out to avenge Fatty!" Oscar couldn't help but chuckle, recalling Ma Hongjun's already small eyes reduced to mere slits.
Sure enough!
Ye Qiu thought to himself, then asked again, "Do you know the location of that chicken coop Ma Hongjun and the others went to? Tell me roughly where it is."
Oscar hesitated for a moment. Yu Xiaogang's special training had made them more cooperative and united.
But he had already unknowingly begun to distance himself from Tang San and the others.
After a brief pause, Oscar told Ye Qiu.
"Okay, thanks!" Ye Qiu patted Oscar on the shoulder and then disappeared from his sight.
