The morning sun slowly rose, but a crescent moon still hung over Tiandou City.
Inside Yuexuan.
Ye Qiu's figure appeared directly on the top floor.
There was still some time before the nobles arrived.
After all, getting them to get up early wasn't easy; most people came here to learn simply to gain prestige. Yuexuan held a high status in the imperial city.
"Qiu, you're here so early."
Tang Yuehua emerged from her room as soon as Ye Qiu appeared in the top-floor hall.
She seemed to have just gotten up herself; her long, gray-blue hair was casually pinned up with a hairpin, and she wore a beige nightgown, revealing only a hint of her delicate collarbone and two slender, jade-like arms—very elegant.
"Hmm."
Ye Qiu nodded slightly, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
He walked to Tang Yuehua, lowered his head slightly, and Tang Yuehua reciprocated by hooking her arms around his neck.
A gentle kiss.
"Good morning," Ye Qiu greeted softly, his hands resting on his waist and his forehead against hers.
"Hmm, come in and sit down!" Tang Yuehua smiled sweetly, returning his kiss and habitually taking his arm, leading Ye Qiu into the room.
Feeling the warmth emanating from her, Ye Qiu put his arm around her slender waist and sat down.
"Just got up?"
"No, I've been up for quite a while. I'll change my clothes in a bit."
Tang Yuehua sat down gracefully and began to make tea.
Every movement was elegant and beautiful, exuding a noble air.
"Has there been any news from Sister Qiu Erlong yet?" Tang Yuehua leaned on Ye Qiu's shoulder; she had already mentioned Liu Erlong's ulterior motives to him.
"Uh..." Ye Qiu paused, a wry smile playing on his lips. He brushed his hand against the soft, fragrant hair beside him and shook his head.
"Not yet. Although I'm very cooperative, it's mainly because she can't handle it. Hehe."
Ye Qiu chuckled dryly.
It has to be said that the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline has a truly powerful ability to recover the body. Even when Ye Qiu fought against a Soul Douluo-level female Tyrannosaurus Rex, the opponent dared not continuously take the blows. The battles were prolonged, requiring considerable rest each time. Although Ye Qiu could heal her, the exhaustion wasn't just from the prolonged
physical bliss, but also from the mental strain. Everything must be done in moderation. During this time, Ye Qiu, engrossed in the battle, also discovered that the Sharingan's unconventional abilities could be used to add some fun. With just a glance, she was willing to wholeheartedly teach Liu Erlong some knowledge that had previously been difficult for her. "Like this..." Tang Yuehua's face flushed, as if she remembered something, feeling a slight pang of unease. Then, as if sensing something, she slowly sat up straight, picked up the still steaming tea in front of Ye Qiu, gently blew on it, and then held it to his lips . "Hurry up and finish it, Xue Ke has already arrived." Hearing this, a look of surprise flashed in Ye Qiu's eyes again. The soundproofing in every room of Yuexuan was excellent, so he couldn't confirm anything by sound. He had no choice but to open his Sharingan and look outside. Sure enough, Xue Ke was already sitting on the sofa in the top-floor hall, staring blankly at the stairs and the direction of Tang Yuehua's room. "Yuehua, what level is your cultivation at?" Ye Qiu couldn't help but look at her with doubt. "It's alright, much lower than Sister Erlong. But I don't have much combat power." Tang Yuehua blinked and chuckled, still holding the warm tea in her hand. Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment, not expecting that Tang Yuehua was already a Soul Saint level expert. Resolving his doubts, he slowly sipped the tea from the rim of the cup, and with Tang Yuehua's help, he finished the tea in no time. Tang Yuehua parted her red lips and wiped the remaining tea from Ye Qiu's mouth. She then straightened his clothes. "Alright, go!" "Okay!" Ye Qiu nodded gently and teased her a bit without any politeness.
...
Outside the room, Xue Ke had already arrived.
Her smile never faded; she sat gracefully, her bright eyes anticipating Ye Qiu's arrival.
*Click!*
The door opened, and a splash of azure hair made her jump to her feet.
"Ye Qiu~"
Ye Qiu turned around as he closed the door, and there was Xue Ke's joyful and excited face. She
had short, white, ear-length hair, delicate and beautiful features lightly made up, and a long white dress that hugged her slender figure. Her hands were clasped together, as if she were a little nervous.
"Xue Ke, good morning!" Ye Qiu greeted her with a smile.
"Yes, good morning!" Xue Ke's face flushed, half shy, half excited.
"Ye Qiu, where shall we go today?"
"Hmm, let's go to the place I used to live in when I was little! What do you think?"
Ye Qiu pondered for a moment, then smiled faintly.
Although he had marked many places, they all seemed too prosperous, with too many eyes and ears, and besides, he hadn't been back for a long time.
"Okay, okay! I'll go anywhere with you!" Xue Ke's smile grew even brighter, overjoyed.
How could she not want to go to the place where Ye Qiu lived as a child?!
"Okay! Let's go then." Ye Qiu slowly stretched out his hand, placing it in front of Xue Ke.
Xue Ke was stunned for a moment, blinked her eyes, smiled dreamily, and gently covered her hand with his.
Being held in Ye Qiu's hand, the long-awaited warmth made her mind somewhat unsteady.
Dizzy, she was about to pull Ye Qiu downstairs.
"Don't rush."
Ye Qiu's heart skipped a beat. If this continued and someone saw them, it would be terrible. Explaining would be a nightmare.
He smiled and pulled her back.
"Ah?! We—" Xue Ke suddenly raised her head, meeting Ye Qiu's gaze, her eyes darting around, her eyelids reddening.
"I'll use my soul skill to take you there!" Ye Qiu said softly, his eyes already shining with an eerie blood-red light.
"Hmm,"
Xue Ke glanced at it, then nodded blankly, somewhat mesmerized.
The Eternal Kaleidoscope spun, distorting space, and the two figures vanished from the top floor of the Moon Pavilion.
...
Biyou Village. Outside the village were neatly arranged fields. The sun wasn't scorching, and the villagers were up early, beginning their work.
Not far from the village entrance, on a lush meadow, Ye Qiu and Xue Ke appeared out of thin air.
"Ye Qiu, so amazing!"
Xue Ke clung to Ye Qiu's arm, looking around in amazement.
Her eyes were filled with wonder; she hadn't expected to arrive so close to the empire's border in such a short time.
"Alright, let's go," Ye Qiu said, looking at the village entrance with a touch of nostalgia.
He took Xue Ke's hand and led her into the village.
Xue Ke followed closely, observing the village Ye Qiu had emerged from. Everything seemed orderly and orderly. However, their clothing and appearance were quite different from the commoners she had seen before.
Xue Ke wasn't the only one puzzled.
