Hearing Huo Wu's confirmation,
Ye Qiu shrugged helplessly, saying,
"Although we are competitors, we're just competitors. We're not mortal enemies."
"You launched that attack simply to win the competition. Our goals are the same, and we don't have any deep-seated hatred. Besides, you're a woman. If I hadn't intervened in that situation, given your personality, you might have tried to kill yourself."
"What good would your death do me? It would only exacerbate the conflict between our two academies. I only need to intervene slightly to stop it, so why not?"
"As for exposing your secret, you haven't exposed it yet, have you? And even if you had, it wouldn't be a big deal."
After saying this, Ye Qiu rubbed his chin, pondered for a moment, and nodded in satisfaction.
"That's about it, nothing special."
Hearing this,
Huo Wu stared blankly at Ye Qiu, her face full of surprise, confusion, and a hint of disappointment.
"Is that all?"
"Yes."
Ye Qiu nodded truthfully. Huo
Wu was slightly stunned.
She discovered that Ye Qiu's answer was completely different from what she had imagined.
That day, Ye Qiu had saved her, taking her to a vast space.
Afterwards, many people inquired about her, but
she kept quiet .
Huo Wu herself had thought a lot.
Ye Qiu clearly hadn't shown her any friendly contact.
Why would he risk having his soul skill exposed to save her?
Her first thought
was that Ye Qiu actually had some feelings for her.
Many people pursued Huo Wu like Feng Xiaotian, but even more harbored secret crushes. This was Huo Wu's first thought,
driven by habitual thinking. Today, she came to find Ye Qiu to hear his explanation. In her view, although Ye Qiu wasn't like Feng Xiaotian, always clinging to her like a leech, he would inevitably show some affection after being personally questioned. But who knew? Ye Qiu actually described it as a matter of mutual benefit, not even caring that the secret of her soul skill would be known to others. Looking at Huo Wu's stunned expression… Ye Qiu decided not to linger and, taking advantage of Huo Wu's dazed state, turned and left. "Huo Wu, now that the questions have been answered, I'll head back." "Ye Qiu!" Huo Wu suddenly snapped out of her daze and hurriedly chased after him. Hearing her call, Ye Qiu instinctively turned around. But Huo Wu's movement was too sudden, and their bodies almost collided. To protect herself, Huo Wu instinctively braced herself with her hands on Ye Qiu's chest. Ye Qiu, in turn, grabbed Huo Wu's shoulders to avoid being hit as well. The distance between them instantly shrunk to near, their breaths mingling. Ye Qiu could even smell Huo Wu's delicate fragrance. Huo Wu bit her lower lip. It wasn't the first time anyway, so she wasn't afraid of anything. Just as Ye Qiu was about to push Huo Wu away, Huo Wu pushed away his hands from her shoulders. Her arms quickly wrapped around Ye Qiu's neck, and her red lips pressed against his. Ye Qiu was startled and retreated, but Huo Wu rushed forward even faster, her eyes flashing with bloodlust. Before the Eternal Kaleidoscope could even activate, Huo Wu's kiss was already on her lips. Her warm, fiery lips pressed against Ye Qiu's, slowly savoring the kiss. Huo Wu's fiery eyes were wide open; she had felt nothing during her first kiss last time. This time, she tasted it.
Soft and fragrant, with a tingling, numbing sensation,
it caused Huo Wu's face to flush.
A crimson light reflected in her eyes, and Ye Qiu's image began to resonate deep within her heart.
Her face flushed, her eyes filled with a shy, spring-like allure, she playfully stuck out her tongue and even began to slowly touch herself.
*Whoosh! *
Ye Qiu immediately pushed Huo Wu away and deactivated his Sharingan spirit.
He touched his lips, which were now moistened.
A hint of youthful fragrance and sweetness lingered between his lips and teeth.
"Huo Wu! What are you doing?"
Ye Qiu frowned and asked Huo Wu.
His voice
brought Huo Wu, who had just been swept away by passion, back to reality.
Her breathing became noticeably rapid.
Her full breasts rose and fell with her rapid breaths.
Huo Wu looked at
Ye Qiu with undisguised joy in her eyes; the desire to possess him still lingered in her mind.
Huo Wu blushed and said to Ye Qiu in a voice only the two of them could hear,
"No matter what, you saved me that day. You didn't have to do that. I never want to owe anyone anything. I don't know if we kissed last time. I'll give you another chance this time as a thank you!"
"Huh?"
Ye Qiu looked at Huo Wu, completely bewildered.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Ye Qiu, you just wait, I won't give up!"
Huo Wu stared at Ye Qiu, her face burning.
After saying that, she turned and ran, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Ye Qiu wiped his mouth,
feeling a bit like laughing and crying at the same time.
He didn't know what Huo Wu meant by not letting him off the hook.
He didn't seem to have offended her again, right?
But knowing Huo Wu's personality, she wouldn't do anything bad.
Ye Qiu could rest assured.
He glanced at the direction of the competition venue and walked towards his camp.
In a corner of the rest area,
two figures emerged.
"Huo Wushuang, what do you think? I told you Huo Wu was smitten! She's been asking me about Ye Qiu these past few days. It seems your brother-in-law is settled."
Feng Xiaotian said with a smile to Huo Wushuang, watching the direction Ye Qiu had left.
Huo Wushuang looked somewhat helpless.
Turning to Feng Xiaotian, she asked in confusion, "Why are you smiling so happily? Are you really happy or just pretending? My sister has fallen for someone else, and you haven't shown any reaction at all!"
"What can I do? Ye Qiu didn't intentionally try to get close to me. It's Huo Wu who's taken a liking to Ye Qiu. Besides, I'm nowhere near as good as Ye Qiu. It's not bad that Huo Wu is with someone stronger than me."
Feng Xiaotian shook his head with a wry smile.
He had liked Huo Wu for a long time. He
naturally tended to focus his attention on her.
It was no exception when Huo Wu came to find Ye Qiu.
Seeing the two of them alone in the rest area,
driven by curiosity, she immediately pulled Huo Wushuang along.
Knowing Ye Qiu's strength, they could only watch from afar to avoid being discovered.
They couldn't hear Ye Qiu and Huo Wu's conversation clearly, but they clearly
saw them suddenly embrace and Huo Wu even kiss Ye Qiu. He had pursued Huo Wu for so many years, yet he had never even touched her, let alone been so intimate. He understood, of course, that it was truly time to let go.
