The sun rose in the east.
Ye Qiu woke up early and led the three women to the mountain peak to cultivate his Purple Demon Eye. After resolving some trivial matters,
he went alone to the city gate of Soto City.
She had long, flowing, azure hair, wore a white, close-fitting outfit with silver patterns, appearing impeccably clean, and white cloth boots. Her azure eyes gazed straight into the distance.
Passersby occasionally pointed and whispered, trying to strike up a conversation, making Ye Qiu feel slightly uncomfortable.
"Phew~"
Having just dealt with a young lady who had tried to chat him up, Ye Qiu let out a long sigh, glancing at the sky. It was already late.
In another hour or so, it would be lunchtime.
"Why does this girl keep saying we're almost there? She can't even be clearer!"
Ye Qiu sighed helplessly. He felt that Xiao Lan was deliberately causing trouble, but he couldn't miss it, so he had to concentrate and keep a close eye on things.
Fortunately, he was now immune to heat and cold, otherwise he would have died of heatstroke.
No matter what, he was still thirsty. He was just about to buy two bowls of cold tea from a stall at the city gate when a sudden tremor ran through him.
"They're here!"
Ye Qiu's eyes lit up, and he immediately looked out of the city.
A purple glint flashed in his eyes, and the Royal Fighting Team, a thousand meters away from Soto City, came into view.
Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow, and the red figure in the team made him smile indulgently.
...
A thousand meters away, the fiery red Xiao Lan also sensed something.
She quickly swallowed what she had just put in her mouth, grabbed Dugu Yan's arm, and pointed to the Soto City gate that stretched out from half of the city wall.
"Sister Yan Yan, Sister Yan Yan, brother is just ahead! Let's hurry over!"
Xiao Lan's face was flushed with excitement, and her fiery red eyes were bright and lively. She happily pulled Dugu Yan and was about to rush forward.
"Xiao Lan, let's walk there properly." Dugu Yan glanced at Ye Lingling beside her and decided against this 'love over friendship' behavior.
"Ah? Okay then." Xiao Lan blinked, glanced at Ye Lingling who always wore a black veil over her face, and nodded dejectedly.
"Yan Yan, you don't need to worry about me, it's just a short distance." Ye Lingling's somewhat empty eyes lit up slightly, and she gave Dugu Yan a helpless glare.
"Yeah, it's just a short distance, we won't miss a bit of time." Dugu Yan chuckled, then turned to look at Xiao Lan. "Besides, someone deliberately made Ye Qiu wait for a long time! Making him wait a little longer is just going along with her wishes, right?"
"Sister Yan Yan, don't talk nonsense, Xiao Lan didn't lie to her brother, we're almost there." Xiao Lan tried to cover Dugu Yan's mouth guiltily.
"Hmph. You can explain it to Ye Qiu yourself later!" Dugu Yan smiled teasingly and stopped talking.
Holding Ye Lingling's arm, her cheeks flushed, and she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.
Beside her, Ye Lingling, for some reason, felt her heart race as she thought of Ye Qiu. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, but after composing herself, her expression returned to normal.
Qin Ming and the others, walking at the front of the group, though some distance from the three women, overheard their conversation.
Shaking his head helplessly, Qin Ming was more concerned about Shrek Academy than Ye Qiu.
Soon, when Huang Dou's group arrived at the city gate, they saw the blue-haired figure.
Ye Qiu also saw them, scanning Qin Ming and the others before fixing his gaze on the two figures at the back of the group.
The moment Qin Ming saw Ye Qiu, his heart tightened; he could sense a deadly danger emanating from him.
Before he could even greet him,
a fiery red figure rushed out from the group.
"Brother!"
Little Blue could no longer contain herself, taking off running to Ye Qiu's side.

With a light leap, she clung to Ye Qiu, wrapping her arms around his waist.
"Cough cough." Ye Qiu was forced back two steps by her touch.
"Brother, Xiao Lan missed you so much!" As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Lan couldn't wait to savor Ye Qiu's taste, her red lips rushing towards his mouth.
Ye Qiu held her full waist, turning his face away from her kiss, feeling his cheek instantly become wet, and smiled helplessly.
He gently patted her shapely buttocks.
"Alright, alright, I missed you too, but there are so many people here."
Enduring Xiao Lan's onslaught, Ye Qiu then looked at Dugu Yan, who had walked up to him.
Long purple-green hair, delicate features, green eyes, a purple, cheongsam-like slit dress tightly wrapped around her proud figure, making her look somewhat alluring.
At this moment, she was looking at him with eyes full of longing, her red lips parting as if she had a thousand words to say.
"Yan Yan~ Aren't you going to help me?" Ye Qiu bounced the little blue dog he was clinging to, smiling as he asked Dugu Yan for help.
He was practically unable to walk with her clinging to him like that.
"Hmm, I'll do it," Dugu Yan couldn't help but smile, her expression bright, as she wrapped her arms around the little blue dog's waist from behind, trying to free Ye Qiu.
"Ah! Sister Yan Yan, it tickles, haha~"
Watching the comical scene of the little blue dog sprawled out in Dugu Yan's arms, Ye Lingling, standing not far away in the group, also smiled slightly.
"Uh, cough cough, Teacher Qin Ming, long time no see." Ye Qiu quickly wiped the drool from his face and greeted Qin Ming, who was still standing there.
"Indeed, it's been a long time. It seems your cultivation has greatly improved." Qin Ming also laughed heartily, looking at him with interest.
However, he wasn't tactless; after just a few words, he was about to take his leave.
"Since you and Yanzi have been reunited after so long, I won't disturb you any longer. Just remember to protect her safety."
"I will." Ye Qiu nodded.
"Then we'll be going now." Qin Ming nodded slightly, not lingering, and led Yu Tianheng and the others into the city.
Ye Lingling hesitated for a moment, glanced at Ye Qiu, and then slowly followed.
Before leaving, Ye Qiu noticed a hostile gaze.
Glancing at Yu Tianheng's back, Ye Qiu just sneered, not taking him seriously at all.
"Brother!"
As soon as Qin Ming and the others left, Xiao Lan, who had been released by Dugu Yan, hugged Ye Qiu's arm tightly, trembling slightly, her excited little face flushed.
It seemed she wanted Ye Qiu to feel it, to tell him that she had grown up.
However, there was no need for that; Ye Qiu could tell that her height, which reached his chin, was not for nothing.
"Alright, stop calling me. I heard you, I know you miss me." Ye Qiu rolled his eyes and poked her forehead in annoyance.
Xiao Lan winced in pain, but didn't want to let go, clinging to him, her fiery red hair rubbing against Ye Qiu's shoulder.
"Yan Yan~" Ye Qiu ignored her and looked at Dugu Yan standing in front of him, reaching out to pull her closer.
"Husband." Dugu Yan murmured, taking a few steps forward and throwing herself into Ye Qiu's arms, tilting her head back to press her body against his.
Her green eyes, like a mirror-like lake, rippled with emerald waves. Ye Qiu embraced her exceptionally soft waist, smiled gently, and slowly lowered his head.
"Brother, Sister Yan Yan~"
Xiao Lan, clinging to Ye Qiu's arm, pouted as she watched their red lips meet, their tongues mingling in a tender kiss.
