"Grandpa, I want to take Senior Ye Qiu out for a bit."
Hen Qiutian called out to Grandpa Jerry, who seemed to be fleeing in panic.
She understood that it wasn't very convenient to talk to Ye Qiu and the others here.
"Go out for a bit?"
"Yes, I want to go out for a stroll and buy some things I might need."
Hen Qiutian nodded, then looked at Ye Qiu and Zhu Zhuqing.
"Don't worry, Grandpa, Senior Ye Qiu will definitely protect me."
Grandpa Jerry nodded slightly in agreement when he saw Ye Qiu, then looked at Zhu Zhuqing.
His eyes seemed to show surprise.
He immediately nodded:
"Alright, Xiaotian. Remember to come back early. The shop should be closed for now."
After saying that,
he turned and went into the inner room without looking back.
Hen Qiutian opened her mouth, about to say something, but swallowed it back down.
Zhu Zhuqing looked very strange.
"Husband, what's wrong with Grandpa Jerry? He seems afraid to see me."
"It must be related to Grandpa Jerry's martial soul."
Ye Qiu chuckled.
Zhu Zhuqing had only recently released her martial soul possession, so her aura naturally carried a sense of pressure.
"Grandpa Jerry's martial soul?"
Zhu Zhuqing frowned slightly, not understanding for a moment.
"Sister Zhuqing, Grandpa's martial soul is a flower rat, so he's probably afraid of cats."
Henhou Tian's words made her realize.
"I see."
Zhu Zhuqing was both amused and exasperated.
"Senior Ye Qiu, please wait for me a moment, I'll be done soon."
Henhou Tian called out to Ye Qiu and immediately began tidying up the shop, preparing to lower the curtain.
Zhu Zhuqing glanced at the busy and anxious Henhou Tian, then turned to look at Ye Qiu.
They didn't have much time left.
"Husband?"
"Wait a bit, if necessary, take her back with you, stay for a while."
Ye Qiu smiled gently.
Although he was curious about Henhou Tian's background and name, he wouldn't let Zhuqing be late because of it.
"Hmm."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly, looking at Henhou Tian. The look in Henhou Tian's eyes just now reminded her of herself.
It was an indomitable will, a desire to become stronger!
"Senior Ye Qiu, let's go."
After a while, Henhou Tian finished tidying up the shop and immediately jogged to Ye Qiu
's side. He looked at Ye Qiu with gratitude in his eyes.
At least Senior Ye Qiu was willing to wait for him. That is to say, he did not directly refuse.
"Hmm."
Ye Qiu nodded slightly.
Following Henhou Tian, they walked out of the shop. Spike at the door looked at its little master
and couldn't help but stick out its tongue, trying to please him.
Henhou Tian casually tossed it a bone to send it away.
Walking on the street, Henhou Tian looked at the surrounding environment, very dissatisfied.
It seemed that there was no good place to talk business.
Especially when he turned around and saw Ye Qiu's furrowed brows, he became even more anxious.
Ye Qiu frowned. Time was really running out.
"Xiao Tian."
He called out to Henhou Tian to stop.
"Senior Ye Qiu, I... I'll find a place soon!"
Henhou Tian looked around, observing the streets and alleys. It was almost past noon,
and the streets were bustling with people.
"Alright, tell me where you want to go, we'll just go there. We're in a hurry."
Ye Qiu led Zhu Zhuqing forward quickly and grabbed Henhou Tian's shoulder.
Henhou Tian turned around, almost bumping into Ye Qiu, his face instantly turning red.
"I... I just want to find a quiet place."
"A quiet place? That's easy. Come with me."

Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow, grabbed He Qiutian's wrist, and walked towards a secluded alley with few people around.
"Senior Ye... Senior Ye Qiu."
He Qiutian looked at her hand, her face somewhat unnatural. Noticing Zhu Zhuqing's gaze, she immediately dared not look up, lowering her head and following behind Senior Ye Qiu.
She never thought that Ye Qiu would harm her.
With their strength, it wouldn't be so troublesome if they really wanted to harm her.
As they walked, the faint fragrance emanating from Ye Qiu gradually calmed He Qiutian down.
However, she greedily sniffed it a few more times, as if she wanted to be intoxicated by it.
"Don't resist."
Ye Qiu's voice came, and He Qiutian suddenly froze, bumping into Ye Qiu's back.
"I'm sorry, Senior Ye Qiu..."
Before she could finish speaking,
she found that her body was actually twisting, and Ye Qiu and Zhu Zhuqing's voices were twisting as well.
Just as she was about to struggle, Ye Qiu's voice rang out again.
"Don't move."
He Qiutian only had a moment to think before her body was sucked into the Divine Might Space by a transparent vortex.
"..."
Inside the Divine Might Space.
Henqiu Tian stared in disbelief at the unfamiliar, vast world of stone platforms before her.
She
even forgot to pay attention to the hand Ye Qiu was holding.
"W-where is this?"
"I can't answer that right now,"
Ye Qiu said with a smile, gently releasing Henqiu Tian's wrist.
"Ye-Senior Ye Qiu..."
Henqiu Tian looked at Ye Qiu in disbelief.
After a brief moment of panic, she was completely convinced that
Ye Qiu could definitely help her!
"If you have something to say, come sit down and talk. Zhu Qing and I need to rush back to cultivate."
Ye Qiu turned and walked towards the table and chairs behind him.
Zhu Zhu Qing had already prepared the tea and poured it into the teaware.
"Xiao Tian, come here quickly."
Seeing Ye Qiu and Zhu Zhu Qing sitting at the table, Henqiu Tian slowly walked towards them.
She didn't sit down.
Instead, she knelt before Ye Qiu and Zhu Zhu Qing again
and kowtowed deeply to Ye Qiu.
*Thump!*
Ye Qiu's expression changed, and he immediately tried to help her up, but quickly restrained himself.
Hen Qiu held the black box in both hands,
gritting his teeth and shouting,
"Senior Ye Qiu! Please, please help me! I'm willing to pay any price!"
Zhu Zhuqing wanted to reach out, but seeing her man unmoved, she didn't move.
She only cast a concerned look at Hen Qiu.
"Senior Ye Qiu,"
Hen Qiu called out again after a few moments, seeing no response, and was about to kowtow to Ye Qiu again.
"No need for kowtowing. Sit up and talk. If you don't want to, I'll take you back. We're really in a hurry," Ye Qiu said
calmly, frowning as he took a sip of tea. Hen Qiu 's kowtow froze in mid-air. Ye Qiu had expected her to immediately get up and sit at the table to talk to him. But Hen Qiu slammed her head back to the ground without hesitation. "Thank you, Senior Ye Qiu!" Thud! "Xiao Tian." Zhu Zhuqing noticed the bloodstains on her forehead and immediately felt concerned. After all, she was Ye Qiu's sworn sister. Ye Qiu, on the other hand, helplessly rubbed his forehead; this little sister was quite stubborn! Ignoring the bloodstains, Qiu Hentian immediately sat down, barely occupying half of her seat, sitting upright, and placed the black box she was holding on the table , pushing it towards Ye Qiu.
