Jealous of Me?!
Qian Renxue was stunned for a moment, then asked Zhu Zhuqing with some uncertainty, "You mean... he wants to pursue me?!"
After saying that, a slight blush appeared on her face, and her heart raced.
So... that bastard also likes me?
No wonder he's been getting more and more restless lately!
Qian Renxue looked diagonally ahead at Ye Qiu's back, her eyes flashing with a few streaks of light.
Before Zhu Zhuqing could answer, Ye Qiu, stepping on Ghost Shadow Steps, quickly returned to their side.
Noticing that Qian Renxue's gaze had softened, Ye Qiu was a little confused.
He didn't know what Zhuqing had said to her, but she had become completely different from her previous resentful appearance.
But he figured it was all for the better.
"Ye Qiu, what's wrong?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at the somewhat dazed Ye Qiu and asked softly.
"Uh cough cough," Ye Qiu came back to his senses, reaching out to Zhu Zhuqing while also gesturing for Hu Niu to lie down.
"Zhu Qing, you two should come down first! There's a ghost tiger that's almost 30,000 years old ahead. I've already notified Seniors Qian Jun and Jiang Mo."
"Okay." Zhu Zhu Qing nodded and leaned towards Ye Qiu with relief.
Ye Qiu caught her in his arms and carefully placed her on the ground.
Then he reached out his hands to Qian Ren Xue.
Qian Ren Xue leaned into Ye Qiu's arms, wrapping her arms around his neck. Their eyes met and then looked away, a little evasive.
"Stand still!"
"Huh? Hmm?"
Ye Qiu put her down, looking at her absent-mindedly with some surprise.
Once she was standing still, Ye Qiu turned around and put the Jade-Eyed Cloud-Winged Tiger back into his Divine Might Space.
Standing beside Ye Qiu, Qian Ren Xue felt a little uncomfortable noticing Zhu Zhu Qing's gaze.
"Let's wait here for a bit!"
Ye Qiu used his Sharingan to scan the surroundings, and after confirming there was no danger, he led the two women to sit down under a tree.
Ye Qiu had originally wanted to sit in the middle, but Qian Renxue seemed reluctant, so he had no choice but to let Zhu Zhuqing sit there instead.
It was already quite late; Ye Qiu and the others had been searching for over an hour.
The sun was high overhead.
"Gulp~" As soon as he sat down, Ye Qiu took out a water bottle from his divine space and gulped down two large mouthfuls.
"Ye Qiu," Zhu Zhuqing called out
, her mouth dry after talking for a while. She held out her hand.
Ye Qiu understood and handed her the water bottle.
Zhu Zhuqing tilted her head back slightly, took a sip, and her slightly dry red lips immediately turned bright red.
"Would you like some too?" Zhu Zhuqing offered the water bottle to Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue hesitated for a moment, then gently shook her head.
Even if what Zhu Zhuqing said was true, it wasn't a reason for her to give in.
Zhu Zhuqing didn't force her; she understood that with Qian Renxue's personality, she wouldn't easily change her mind.
Seeing her slightly dry red lips, Zhu Zhuqing didn't return the water bottle to Ye Qiu, but instead put it in her own pocket.
Ye Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that letting Qian Renxue and Zhu Zhuqing meet wasn't as bad as he had thought.
It only took a quarter of an hour.
Two streaks of light flashed across the sky, flying towards Ye Qiu and the others from two different directions.
Ye Qiu looked up, his eyes flashing, and sensing something was wrong, he unconsciously activated his Sharingan.

A slight smile appeared on her lips.
"Qian Renxue, it seems your spirit ring has been secured."
"What?" Qian Renxue, still pondering something, was taken aback.
A loud voice drifted from the air: "Little Xue, look what I brought back for you!"
Ye Qiu and the other two stood up and looked up.
The Qian Jun and Jiang Mo brothers were standing in mid-air. The one speaking was Jiang Mo Douluo, whose Dragon Subduing Staff was adorned with a robust and enormous lion.
"Is this the Holy Light Golden Lion King?!"
As the young master of the Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue naturally knew the spirit beasts suitable for her and recognized the golden spirit beast at a glance.
"That's right, and its age is just over 30,000 years, probably less than 31,000! I happened to see it and brought it back."
Bang! With that, Jiang Mo Douluo threw the Holy Light Golden Lion King to the ground.
"Ye Qiu, have you found a suitable soul beast for this little girl? Point me in a direction and I'll go catch it right now!"
Thousand-Pound Douluo took out his mini Dragon-Subduing Staff, twirling it between his fingers.
"Senior, it's in that direction, less than a thousand meters from here. It's a nearly 30,000-year-old Ghost Tiger!" Ye Qiu pointed to the distant dense forest.
"Alright! I'll go get it right away!"
"Then I'll trouble you, Senior."
Before Ye Qiu could finish speaking, Thousand-Pound Douluo, carrying the Dragon-Subduing Staff, transformed into a rainbow and vanished.
Demon-Subduing Douluo landed, stepping on the Holy Light Golden Lion King, and asked Ye Qiu,
"Boy, are you confident?"
Ye Qiu smiled, naturally knowing what Demon-Subduing Douluo was worried about.
"Senior, don't worry. When Zhu Zhuqing finishes absorbing the soul ring, you'll have your answer."
Gently taking Zhu Zhuqing's small hand, they smiled at each other.
Qian Renxue, standing beside them, frowned; she still found the two in front of her somewhat annoying.
Bang!
In less than a quarter of an hour, a black-bodied ghost tiger with a black face and fangs crashed down from the sky.
Its head was bleeding profusely, its fangs were broken, and its four thick legs were limp. It had likely been struck by a club, resulting in comminuted fractures; it was a pitiful sight.
"Alright! The rest is up to you, kid." Qianjun Douluo landed on the ghost tiger's body, hands behind his back, smiling at Ye Qiu.
"Okay!" Ye Qiu nodded, suggesting to Qian Renxue, "Let's enter my Divine Might Space first before absorbing the soul rings, to avoid interference from the surrounding environment."
Qian Renxue nodded slightly to Qianjun and Jiangmo, and the two tossed the two soul beasts together.
Ye Qiu stepped forward, activating his Divine Might. A golden and black vortex appeared as space distorted.
When both soul beasts were sucked in, the sudden change in weight caused Ye Qiu's body to sway slightly.
"Alright!" Ye Qiu gently rubbed his eyes, a smile appearing on his face, and extended his hand to Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing stepped forward and grabbed his hand.
Ye Qiu glanced at Qian Renxue, whose expression was somewhat unpleasant, and tentatively extended a hand to her as well.
Qian Renxue's unpleasant expression eased slightly, and she simply walked to stand beside Ye Qiu.
"Uh..." Ye Qiu awkwardly withdrew his hand.
Qian Jun Douluo watched this scene with interest and moved a little closer to Ye Qiu.
The Eternal Kaleidoscope spun, and the figures of the five people disappeared into the dark Star Dou Great Forest.
