Ye Qiu awkwardly straightened up, somewhat relieved that Qian Renxue hadn't lost her temper, while inwardly cursing himself for being so weak.
He'd been with Liu Erlong for so long, how could he be so easily flustered by the slightest trick?
Qian Renxue didn't pay much attention to Ye Qiu's expression, simply waving her hand coldly, and several brocade boxes appeared on the table.
"I'm not in a hurry to hunt souls right now, after all, you're still too weak."
"..." Ye Qiu looked at her in surprise, speechless.
Qian Renxue also noticed his gaze, frowning as a blush suddenly rose on her face.
In the past few months, the two had sparred again, and Qian Renxue still found it difficult to gain the upper hand against Ye Qiu.
"What I mean is that your spiritual power is still too weak, the age of the soul rings you can add to me is a bit low, I'm not satisfied!"
Qian Renxue gritted her teeth, glaring fiercely at Ye Qiu.
"I see," Ye Qiu nodded. He could only offer sacrifices from soul beasts around 23,000 years old, which, although exceeding the maximum age of his sixth soul ring, was only 3,000 years over.
Given Qian Renxue's limited perspective, it was normal that he couldn't satisfy her.
"And what are these...?" Ye Qiu asked curiously, looking at the brocade boxes on the table.
"These are all rare and precious materials I specially obtained from the Spirit Hall, capable of enhancing spiritual power."
"Your Spirit Hall has such things?" Ye Qiu looked at her in surprise.
"Of course! These are treasures from my grandfather and the others!"
With that, Qian Renxue opened one of the brocade boxes, revealing a strange flower inside.
She pushed it towards Ye Qiu, saying seriously, "This is a nearly 10,000-year-old Golden Sun Flower, incredibly effective at enhancing spiritual power. These next few days, I'll trouble you, who lingers among the flowers, to take some time to refine it properly!"
"Yes, I will!"
Ye Qiu chuckled, nodded, his eyes flashing with a bloodthirsty light, and then put away the brocade boxes.
He wanted to ask her if she wasn't afraid of being unable to defeat him later, given how much she helped him.
But he was also afraid that asking would ruin the hard-won improvement in their relationship.
He quietly gazed at Qian Renxue's profile; she was indeed stunningly beautiful, flawless.
Qian Renxue frowned, giving Ye Qiu a disapproving look.
"Why are you staring at me?"
"Because...because I'm beautiful!" Ye Qiu smiled gently, reaching out to grasp her soft hand, slowly intertwining their fingers.
"You!" Qian Renxue blushed and glared at Ye Qiu, letting out a cold snort.
"Do you even need to tell me?!"
"Have I been too nice to you lately? You even dare to joke around with me!"
Qian Renxue felt embarrassed, but her face remained icy, though the fiery red color didn't convey any coldness.
"Yes! You have been very nice to me." Ye Qiu nodded calmly, still smiling gently, and slowly leaned his face towards Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue watched Ye Qiu approach.
She saw the unprecedented love in his eyes and felt the heat washing over her face. Her
previously steady heartbeat suddenly began to pound, her deep, golden eyes flickered, and her long eyelashes fluttered as if trying to fan a breeze to cool her cheeks.
Ye Qiu slowly moved closer to Qian Renxue, looking at her delicate lips, lightly bitten by her teeth.
He leaned in, and their lips met.

Ye Qiu gently pursed his slightly upturned lips, as if wanting to meet hers, and Qian Renxue gradually closed her eyes as well.
The two sat face to face on a short stone bench, their red lips and white teeth clashing, slowly swaying their heads and breathing heavily.
"Eek~"
A soft cry rang out, and Qian Renxue's eyes snapped open, a cold glint flashing in her deep, golden pupils.
"Ouch~!"
Qian Renxue bit down hard, and Ye Qiu cried out in pain, quickly pulling back.
The hand that Ye Qiu hadn't grasped pushed him away, raising its own hand as if to slap him.
Seeing the blood at the corner of his mouth, she hesitated for a moment, then simply gripped her collar tightly, glaring fiercely at Ye Qiu. Her
pretty face, previously dominated by shyness, was suddenly filled with anger, her eyes almost spitting blood.
She shouted sharply, "Bastard! I told you not to touch me!"
"Sorry, I couldn't help myself!" Ye Qiu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Although there was still a slight metallic taste in his throat, it didn't stop his smile.
Looking at Ye Qiu's smiling face, Qian Renxue felt a little panicked. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to bring herself to do it, afraid that she would be the first to succumb!
Just tasting a little metallic taste made her heart ache slightly.
Qian Renxue frowned, no longer looking at Ye Qiu. She took a sip of tea to wash away the metallic taste in her mouth, then lowered her head to straighten her clothes.
After a while, she said coldly, "If there's a next time, I'll cut off your tongue and make you mute!"
After saying that, she raised her head again to look at Ye Qiu. When she met his gaze, her heart trembled again.
Ye Qiu still looked into her eyes and nodded lightly.
"Okay, I understand!" As he spoke, he simply tightened his grip on Qian Renxue's hand.
Sincerity is the ultimate weapon, that's absolutely true. Qian Renxue's help did indeed move Ye Qiu's heart.
Lately, Qian Renxue seems to have less of a reaction when he mentions other women.
Just now was the best proof.
Perhaps he could take Zhu Qing with him this time during the Soul Hunt.
Zhu Zhu Qing has just broken through to level 40, letting them meet might have a surprising effect.
Zhu Qing's personality is also suitable; although she can be jealous, she's very sensible and not like Ning Rongrong.
In short, winning over Qian Renxue needs to be done step by step. Now that he can mention his other women, he can gradually let her see them, slowly desensitize her, and chip away at that icy layer bit by bit.
Qian Renxue gritted her teeth, looking at Ye Qiu's smiling face, and suddenly felt a little disgusted. She snorted coldly and let him hold her hand.
After arranging these things in his mind, Ye Qiu took a sip of tea and suddenly felt a slight sting. It turned out that the wound on the tip of his tongue hadn't healed yet.
Ignoring him, he turned to look at Qian Renxue.
"When does today's cultivation begin?"
Qian Renxue had also noticed his subtle movements. Instead of answering Ye Qiu's question, she frowned and glanced at him.
"What are you doing? Why aren't you healing?! Are you trying to stage some kind of self-inflicted injury?" "Huh? How could that be !
" Ye Qiu exclaimed in surprise, then smiled and said, "I'm just making sure I remember this lesson so I won't make the same mistake again!"
Hearing his answer, Qian Renxue's frown deepened. (End of Chapter)
