Although Tang Hao and his son had never seen his Spirit.
With his current appearance, they definitely wouldn't recognize him.
It was even questionable whether Tang Hao still remembered him, that insignificant ant from back then.
But after some thought, Ye Qiu still felt it would be safer and more convenient to drive Tang Hao out of Soto City.
"If you really don't want to help, I can make it the third condition!"
Looking at Qian Renxue turning away, her back to him.
To get her help, Ye Qiu had no choice but to use that previous condition.
"Hoo~" Qian Renxue took a deep breath, her eyes growing colder.
'Sure enough, he's an ungrateful thing!'
She turned her head, gave Ye Qiu a faint glance, and then shifted her gaze away.
"First, tell me about your matter!"
"Actually, by helping me, you're also helping yourself!"
"What do you mean?"
Hearing Ye Qiu's words, Qian Renxue showed a hint of surprise.
"Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao!" Ye Qiu said in a deep voice.
"It's him!? Do you have a grudge against him?"
Hearing Tang Hao's name, Qian Renxue also frowned in surprise.
"Indeed, he almost killed me once!"
…" Qian Renxue looked at him in astonishment; she couldn't quite understand how he had managed to provoke a Titled Douluo.
However, she was smart enough not to ask further.
Involving the Titled Douluo level, this secret was likely not simple.
"Do you know where he is now?"
"Yes, I know!" Ye Qiu nodded affirmatively.
"If it's about dealing with him, you can keep that condition! But you also have to promise me one thing!"
Qian Renxue pondered for a moment, then instead proposed a condition to Ye Qiu.
In fact, even if Ye Qiu hadn't asked for her help, she would have acted if she knew his location.
But it was clear that Ye Qiu was more anxious now, and since that was the case, she wouldn't be polite to this guy.
There were some things she hadn't known how to bring up to him yet.
"Hmm?" Ye Qiu was a little surprised, "As the young master of Spirit Hall, do you still lack a condition from me?"
"Don't worry, what I want you to do will definitely be within your capabilities!"
Qian Renxue chuckled lightly, tidying the strands of hair that had fallen by her ear.
"Alright!" Ye Qiu agreed after a moment of thought.
"Then tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"Actually, I only know a general location."
"Are you messing with me?" Qian Renxue glared at him, looking displeased.
"Do I need to mess with you like this?" Ye Qiu gave her a speechless look and continued speaking.
"After the people you arrange go there, whether they find him or capture him, I want them to stay there for a period of time, so that Tang Hao doesn't dare to approach that area!"
Ye Qiu ignored her and continued to state his demands, quickly adding another point.
"Also, your people must inform me before they reach the destination!"
"Your request is really quite strange?"
Looking at him oddly, she always felt as if another layer of mist had enveloped him, making him even harder for her to see clearly.
"How about it?"
"Alright, tell me the location!"
Qian Renxue agreed exasperatedly, rubbing her temples.
Her current subordinates couldn't handle it, so she would have to write back to the Hall of Offerings to call for reinforcements.
Upon receiving her consent, Ye Qiu truthfully informed her of Soto City.
He didn't dare to reveal Tang San's identity now, after all, Xiao Wu was still at Shrek.
At the same time, he didn't expect them to actually start fighting.
Tang Hao had been able to hide for so long, he definitely had some tricks up his sleeve, not to mention the location he gave was very broad.
His goal had always only been to drive Tang Hao out of Soto City!
As for killing him… Ye Qiu already had a plan in mind!
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. You should rest early!"
"Go on, go on!"
Qian Renxue waved her hand indifferently.
Seeing this, Ye Qiu no longer lingered, activating his Divine Might and leaving the place.
Watching Ye Qiu disappear from sight, the blonde beauty on the bed couldn't help but show a hint of a smile at the corner of her mouth.
Making the gloomy secret room much brighter.
Slowly standing up, she walked to the side of the large pit in the middle, raised her jade foot, and stepped onto the remaining half of the stool at the edge.
"Is there anything very important to him in Soto City? Or is it…"
…
Sunset Forest.
Ye Qiu's figure appeared in an open space.
It was past midnight, and the Spirit Beasts that were active at night were still foraging, with various Spirit Beast roars occasionally heard.
He formed a hand seal and entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well secret realm.
He tiptoed past Dugu Yan's original room, leaned against the door, and listened for a while; two steady breaths came from inside.
A gentle smile appeared on his face, and he silently returned to his own room and lay down.
In the darkness, Ye Qiu lay with his eyes open, staring at the ceiling, yet without a hint of sleepiness.
He didn't know what kind of situation he would face after going to Soto City.
How should he face Xiao Wu, how should he explain to her…
"Sigh~" Ye Qiu put his hands behind his head and let out a long sigh.
Click!
The door was gently pushed open.
A seductive figure, swaying her waist, slowly walked in.
Under the moonlight, Dugu Yan's alluring body was draped in a thin veil.
This clothing couldn't conceal her body at all; a slight breeze would blow, revealing glimpses of her fair skin.
"Yan Yan~"
"It's rare for you to come back so early. Why are you suddenly sighing? What's wrong?"
Dugu Yan helped Ye Qiu spread out the blanket, and her body squeezed in alongside him, her head resting on his shoulder.
After taking Ye Qiu's hand and wrapping it around herself, she gently hugged him.
"Tell me, okay?!"
Through Dugu Yan's thin sleepwear, Ye Qiu could clearly feel her slender waist and her smooth, tender skin.
Responding to her fragrant kiss, he grabbed her soft hand that was constantly sliding over his body.
If he let her continue like this, it would inevitably stir up his energy again.
Looking at Ye Qiu's reproachful gaze, her fair face pressed against his cheek, and that burning warmth made Dugu Yan very satisfied.
"Hehe… Hurry and tell Yan Yan~"
She leaned close to Ye Qiu's ear, her voice soft and tender, her hot breath scorching his heart.
"Alright, alright, don't fidget!" Ye Qiu gave her a side-eye, hugging her restless, soft body tightly to prevent her from continuing to misbehave.
"Mm! I'll listen to you."
After adding some wetness to Ye Qiu's face, Dugu Yan settled down, leaning against him, quietly listening to his heartbeat.
Ye Qiu reached out and gently smoothed her hair, caressing her pretty face.
He confided his worries to her.
He felt that he couldn't properly explain things to Xiao Wu.
…
"Then do you regret taking responsibility for me?"
Dugu Yan grabbed Ye Qiu's collar, tilted her head up to look at him, her green eyes appearing somewhat dim in the darkness.
"How could that be! I'm very greedy." Ye Qiu lightly touched her red lips and hugged her a little tighter.
"I don't want to let go of any of you! And I won't!"
"That's good, otherwise I really would poison you!" Dugu Yan leaned forward and gently bit Ye Qiu's face, leaving two shallow rows of teeth marks.
"Hmm, even if you poison me, I won't let go!" Ye Qiu showed no reaction, just staring blankly at her.
After a moment of silence, a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Dugu Yan's mouth, and she looked at Ye Qiu mysteriously.
"Hmm… then, how about I give you a suggestion?"
Dugu Yan, of course, knew that Ye Qiu wasn't that kind of person; she simply wanted to hear him express his love to her more.
This feeling intoxicated her, like being soaked in a honey pot.
"What suggestion?"
Ye Qiu looked at her curiously, while Dugu Yan quickly leaned close to his ear.
Moist, warm breath entered his ear canal, and the vulgar words from her mouth made Ye Qiu's face flush.
"Persuade!?"
Ye Qiu's Adam's apple bobbed, and he swallowed, looking at Dugu Yan in his arms with shock.
"Will that really work? Our age is still…"
"You have to believe in yourself, you can definitely do it!" At this moment, Dugu Yan's pretty face also carried a hint of a flush.
"Husband~ Do you want to try with Yan Yan first?"
Her soft, trembling voice was intoxicating, and as her words fell, her movements became even more unrestrained.
Ye Qiu was still surprised by the method she had suggested, but he didn't expect her to have already started acting!
He couldn't stop her in time, and he gasped.
His head tightened, and his scalp tingled.
He quickly reacted.
"Hiss~! Yan Yan, don't mess around, quickly take your hand away!"
Ye Qiu's face flushed, and he grabbed her wrist, but he didn't dare to use too much force, afraid of hurting her.
"Hmph! I think you don't not want to consummate our marriage, but rather you want to save your first time for that Xiao Wu!"
"How, how could that be…"
"You know whether it is or not!"
Dugu Yan gave him a side-eye, pulled her hand back, but the flush on her face didn't fade as quickly.
Looking at Ye Qiu, who had fallen silent, she put away the slight disappointment in her eyes and hugged him again.
"I'm serious! This method will definitely work. Let her be your first woman in the true sense! And you've been separated for so long… maybe she'll even force you, who knows! Haha."
She leaned into Ye Qiu's ear, whispering sweet nothings, and then suddenly chuckled, thinking about Ye Qiu's usual attitude towards such matters.
Then she looked at him with a hint of resentment, feeling a bit vexed; she also wanted to give herself completely to him sooner!
Listening to her teasing, Ye Qiu's face flushed with a bit of shyness.
"Yan Yan… I, I will give you an explanation as soon as possible!"
"An explanation? I want it now, what do I do?" Dugu Yan looked at him languidly, her eyes shimmering with desire.
"Ah, this!? Didn't you say you wanted me and Xiao Wu…"
"Hmph! You…" Dugu Yan snorted coldly, leaning into Ye Qiu's ear, the words she spoke seemed to take all her strength.
Ye Qiu looked at her in shock, suddenly feeling a little parched.
He let her pull his hand…
…
In Dugu Yan's room next door.
Hearing the strange sounds from next door, Xiao Lan groggily opened her eyes.
"Is big brother back?" Her small hand reached out to the side, her ears twitching slightly.
"Yan Yan Jie's voice! She's too cunning, we agreed to take turns guarding half the night, and she didn't even wake me up!"
Hugging her pillow, she opened the door and slowly walked towards Ye Qiu's room.
"What a strange sound? Is Yan Yan Jie hurt?"
Click!
"Xiao Lan! Ah—! You… get out…"
As soon as Xiao Lan poked her head in, she heard Dugu Yan's loud shout.
"Yan Yan Jie? You're too much, how can you chase Xiao Lan out!"
Xiao Lan pouted, looking at the two people lying in the covers.
Seeing Dugu Yan not reacting, her eyes showed some confusion; at this moment, she seemed to be trembling as if sobbing.
Rubbing her somewhat sleepy eyes, she slowly walked towards Ye Qiu.
"Big brother, did you bully Yan Yan Jie until she cried?"
"Xiao Lan, why are you up?" Ye Qiu's face was incredibly awkward, he gave a wry smile and didn't answer.
Dugu Yan buried her head in the covers, her whole body flushed pink, covered in a lot of sweat, and still sobbing occasionally.
"Yan Yan Jie woke me up!" Xiao Lan pouted, also lying down on Ye Qiu's other side.
"Big brother, where's your other hand?" Xiao Lan pulled Ye Qiu's hand, wanting him to hold her to sleep, but couldn't pull it at all.
"Hehe… I just got it dirty, uh, cough cough! No, your Yan Yan Jie needs a hug too!"
Ye Qiu hadn't even finished the first half of his sentence when Dugu Yan bit him. In pain, he had no choice but to cough twice and change his explanation.
"Is that so? Then good night, big brother! Hmm?"
After giving him a goodnight kiss, she rested in Ye Qiu's arms, then suddenly sniffed, as if smelling something strange.
Fortunately, Ye Qiu quickly activated Blue Silver Fragrance to cover it up.
Only then did she not ask a question that would have made both of them uncomfortable.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Lan had fallen asleep again.
"Phew~" Ye Qiu let out a sigh of relief.
Dugu Yan, who had been too embarrassed to show her face under the covers, also poked her head out, breathing in the still relatively cool air outside.
"You actually dared to dislike me!"
Her face still showed lingering pleasure, a flush of color spread across it, her eyes were like silken threads, and small beads of fragrant sweat dotted her forehead.
"I, I didn't…" Ye Qiu's voice was faint.
"Hmph! It's too hot, I'm going to take a cool shower."
She picked up the sheer nightgown she was wearing, not forgetting to wrap it around Ye Qiu's hand.
She wiped him down.
Blushing, she slowly emerged from the covers, then tiptoed out of the room. As soon as she ran out, a gentle breeze blew, and she felt a chill all over.
Ye Qiu also lifted a corner of the covers, guiding the extreme fire power from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well within his body. His palm turned crimson, and wisps of mist rose from the covers.
One could only say that the price-increasing hermit truly didn't deceive me!
This night was destined to be sleepless.
…
As the sun rose in the east, time slowly passed.
Not far from the south gate of Soto City, in a dilapidated small village, Shrek Academy began its enrollment work for the day.
At the entrance of the village, on a broken archway, hung an old plaque with a few crooked, large characters carved on it.
Shrek Academy!
Above it was the head of a green humanoid monster, looking distinctly green.
Behind a table at the entrance sat an old man, wearing a green badge on his chest.
He was Li Yuesong, responsible for the first checkpoint, checking age and spirit power.
A long line had already formed in front of that table, most of them accompanied by parents.
Xiao Wu, followed by Tang San, and then Zhu Zhuqing, slowly walked towards the end of the line.
"Tang San, this is the academy your Grandmaster found?"
Looking at its dilapidated appearance, even Xiao Wu, who didn't care much, couldn't help but want to complain.
Was that useless Grandmaster blind!?
Even Zhu Zhuqing, standing beside her, was a bit skeptical of his teaching standards.
"Don't worry, this academy is definitely fine. It's an academy that only accepts monsters!"
Tang San smiled slightly; he had already met the dean of this academy.
He was a powerful Spirit Saint, a friend of his Grandmaster, named Flender.
He hadn't expected that the seemingly stingy and slovenly middle-aged man would be the dean of an academy.
After some discussion, Tang San had also gained some understanding of Shrek Academy.
Since they arrived a bit later than in the original novel.
In the distance, Li Yuesong had already summoned his Spirit, the Dragon Pattern Staff!
White, yellow, purple, purple, purple, black—six spirit rings pulsed.
He was clearly a Spirit Emperor.
Li Yuesong waved the staff in his hand and loudly announced Shrek Academy's enrollment requirements.
Shrek is a type of monster, and the academy only recruits monsters!
Age not exceeding thirteen, spirit power level higher than twenty!
The registration fee is ten gold coins, and once registered, it is non-refundable!
After his explanation, the number of applicants immediately decreased by eighty to ninety percent.
"How about it, Xiao Wu? Even the teacher responsible for registration at this academy is a Spirit Emperor, it must be good! Let's go quickly."
Many people in the front of the line had left, so Tang San immediately walked forward.
A hint of interest flashed in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes. She exchanged a glance with Xiao Wu, and both of them slowly walked forward.
As the three walked up, Dai Mubai, who had been waiting under the big tree next to the table, also saw them.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing, he habitually showed a lecherous expression, then his heart skipped a beat, and he looked at her in surprise.
"Oh? Do your family members know you're here?" Li Yuesong in front asked in surprise.
Standing before him was a brown-haired, green-clothed girl.
"If I can come out, they naturally know. Excuse me, have I passed the preliminary test?"
The girl's voice was soft and pleasant, very approachable.
Tang San looked at her back, his expression changing. This girl was actually the one who had disparaged Tang Sect Hidden Weapons!
Dai Mubai also noticed her, his eyes showing a wolf-like gleam, but then he thought of something, and the color in his eyes dissipated.
Unbeknownst to him, Zhu Zhuqing had already noticed him, and the lewdness in his eyes naturally didn't escape her.
"Scum!"
"Hmm?" Xiao Wu also followed her gaze, a hint of playfulness on her face. "So it's that sick cat? Zhuqing, do you know him?"
"I've seen him a few times, not familiar!"
The green-clothed girl in front was, of course, Ning Rongrong.
Soon, she passed the preliminary test and was led into the village, heading to the location of the second test.
Next, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing successively had their bone age checked and their Spirits released.
"Oh? I didn't expect your Blue Silver Grass to cultivate so quickly! Not bad, not bad!"
"You're actually a Spirit Elder!!"
"How is that possible, your second ring is actually purple!!!"
Li Yuesong's eyes widened. The impact these three people had on him was one wave higher than the last.
"A thousand-year second ring! How is this possible!" Tang San also looked at Zhu Zhuqing in shock.
He went to see Grandmaster every night and was deeply influenced by him.
He naturally believed in his theories, but this scene before his eyes!
This living example right in front of him made him waver in his belief in Grandmaster's theories!
Xiao Wu, on the other hand, seemed relatively calm. She knew Ye Qiu's abilities; Ye Qiu's first ring was even purple!
"What? Am I not considered a monster?"
Zhu Zhuqing put away her Spirit and asked indifferently.
"You are, you are! Compared to those two, you are a true monster!"
Li Yuesong's mouth twisted into a wry smile, then he became happy again. This time, their academy had truly stumbled upon a treasure!
"Alright, you wait here for Mubai to come back and lead you in!"
