Although the entire process went smoothly, the inherent danger made Ye Qiu unable to be distracted in the slightest.
Igniting the Amaterasu Flame directly within Qian Renxue's body without damaging her meridians—this task was quite challenging for Ye Qiu.
Having expended a vast amount of mental force, Ye Qiu's face turned somewhat pale.
Crimson blood had already appeared at the corners of his eyes, trickling down his cheeks.
Before it could drip, it was evaporated, leaving only faint traces on his face.
Holding the pristine, flawless Qian Renxue in front of him, his arms wrapped around her waist, which was free of any excess flesh or hindrance.
The slippery sensation made Ye Qiu's mind wander uncontrollably.
A surge of heat rose in his Dantian.
Qian Renxue, who was already candidly exposed to Ye Qiu, suddenly trembled slightly, her delicate body turning a rosy pink.
In Ye Qiu's mind, her voice, laced with petulance and embarrassment, resounded, "Ye Qiu! Not now… no improper thoughts!"
Qian Renxue had already peeked into Ye Qiu's mind, where some lewd and trash-like fantasies, like holographic projections, were appearing.
This instantly made her so embarrassed she felt like smoke was coming out of her seven orifices.
"Uh, heh heh, my apologies…" Ye Qiu's voice was somewhat weak and awkward.
There was nothing he could do; he was a normal man.
If he were holding Ning Rongrong like this, and showed no reaction at a time like this, that girl would definitely suspect something was wrong with his body.
Suppressing the sensual thoughts in his heart, he channeled the power of the miniature ice spring from his body.
Ye Qiu's body suddenly turned cold.
Stimulated by this chill, Qian Renxue also shivered, and both their minds became much clearer.
The scorching, ambiguous atmosphere quickly disintegrated, and they cast aside the unrealistic fantasies from moments ago.
Ye Qiu's voice was somewhat solemn, "Next, let's deal with the toxins that have already invaded your extraordinary meridians!"
"Mm!" Qian Renxue responded softly, then gently reminded Ye Qiu in a soft voice, "Don't push yourself… if we can't do it in one go, we… we can do it a few more times."
Though she said this, the thought of being so candidly exposed to him a few more times made her mind feel a bit hot.
"Mm!" Ye Qiu acknowledged.
Afterward, the mental space no longer alternated colors inside and out, maintaining a state of golden light enveloped by crimson.
Their combined spirit power, carrying the Amaterasu Flame and the holy fire, continuously circulated within Qian Renxue's body, placing an additional burden on her extraordinary meridians, and a look of pain flashed across her face.
Ye Qiu frowned.
His Blue Silver Domain unfolded beneath him, slowly emitting a green light and a faint fragrance, clearing their negative states and repairing any areas he might have accidentally injured due to improper operation.
Qian Renxue also unfolded her Angelic Domain, which contained divine force with a certain healing effect.
With the two great Domains superimposed, all their attributes received a significant boost.
Ye Qiu's work of clearing the toxins also proceeded more smoothly.
The scorching black-gold spirit power continuously circulated, and Ye Qiu's body began to sweat, with blood constantly flowing from the corners of his eyes.
That spirit power continuously cleansed Qian Renxue's entire body, and while clearing toxins, it also greatly enhanced Qian Renxue's physical constitution.
Time flowed by.
After a difficult cycle through Qian Renxue's body, Ye Qiu's mental force was almost insufficient to sustain it.
The Amaterasu Flame slowly extinguished, and the holy fire returned to Qian Renxue's body.
The golden-red cocoon slowly dissipated, and the Domain beneath them stopped rotating, gradually vanishing.
In the newly darkened secret room, the lone man and woman embraced, with only the golden-red light flickering between their brows.
Crack!
The mental space split apart, and their consciousness returned to their own bodies.
Pfft!
Ye Qiu, holding Qian Renxue in his arms, fell straight backward, landing on the stone bed.
"Mm, ugh…" Qian Renxue let out a muffled groan.
Holding his neck, she weakly bumped into Ye Qiu's embrace, pressing her entire body against him, kneeling over him, and breathing heavily.
The heat from their bodies intermingled.
Qian Renxue's face was flushed, and she bit her red lips, not daring to move.
She buried her face in Ye Qiu's body, closing her eyes, trying to pretend to be unconscious.
After waiting for a long time, and seeing no movement from Ye Qiu beneath her, she finally struggled to prop herself up.
As the soft pressure slightly eased, Ye Qiu's breathing became much smoother and more relaxed.
"Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu!" Seeing Ye Qiu unmoving, a hint of panic suddenly appeared on Qian Renxue's face.
She continuously shook him.
After a careful examination, she discovered that he had simply fainted from excessive consumption of mental force and spirit power.
Straddling Ye Qiu, her upper body slightly propped up by her arms, she still pressed tightly against him.
She could still feel Ye Qiu's powerful heartbeat and scorching heat.
"This guy, I told him not to push himself," she muttered reproachfully, her eyes filled with concern.
Qian Renxue reached out and brushed away the strands of hair stuck to Ye Qiu's face, gently touching Ye Qiu's cheek.
Her face showed shyness, but also some surprise.
She poked him a bit, uncertainly.
She frowned slightly, feeling quite displeased.
This guy's skin seemed… much better than her own.
Qian Renxue stared blankly at his eyebrows, nose, mouth… her eyes shimmering.
She had to admit.
This guy, Ye Qiu… was indeed quite handsome.
No wonder that girl Xue Ke couldn't forget him…
Her soft hand gently stroked Ye Qiu's cheek, her movements tender, as if to wipe away the faint dried bloodstains.
As she watched him, she suddenly remembered the 'trash' that had appeared in his mind.
Her face instantly flushed, and her heart rate quickened considerably.
Quietly watching him, Qian Renxue, as if possessed, slowly leaned down, her four red lips slowly approaching.
Ye Qiu's scent gradually grew stronger.
Just a slight touch, feeling a hint of warmth, Qian Renxue's delicate body trembled.
She quickly mustered her strength and moved off Ye Qiu's body.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, she gently caressed her own red lips, her face flushed like blood.
Looking at Ye Qiu, who was still lying there motionless, the parts of her body that had made contact felt a little numb, and her heart beat uncontrollably.
"Consider this your reward for healing me," she whispered, then glanced at Ye Qiu and spat inwardly.
She took out a robe from her spirit tool and draped it over Ye Qiu, then wrapped her arms around her chest so she could walk more easily and not lose her balance.
Her bare feet on the ground felt a bit cold.
Just as she was about to open the secret door to her boudoir in the secret room, her peripheral vision caught sight of the tea on the stone table.
She slowly walked over and drank the tea that Ye Qiu had previously tested the temperature for her.
Then, with a flushed face, she opened the secret door to the secret room, hugged herself, and entered her boudoir to bathe again.
…
Night faded, and Heaven Dou Imperial City welcomed the first ray of dawn today.
At this moment, Ye Qiu was lying on a soft, large bed, still asleep.
Outside the purple gauze curtain were everyday furniture and exquisite decorations, all revealing that this was a woman's boudoir.
The secret room outside was quiet.
In the Prince's Residence study, Qian Renxue, now in the guise of Xue Qinghe, was dealing with the accumulated trivial matters from the previous period.
Her energy and Spirit, compared to last night, were like heaven and earth.
Her golden hair was dry and smooth.
Her elegant and gentle face had bright eyes and white teeth, with a rosy complexion.
She looked at the memorials in her hand, a faint smile on her face.
Beside her, the brothers Qian Jun and Jiang Mo were guarding her.
Seeing Qian Renxue, who had recovered overnight, Qian Jun Douluo was also a little puzzled.
"Xiao Xue, are you really well?"
"Uncle Qian Jun, I am well, much better than before I was injured!" Qian Renxue put down what she was holding and smiled confidently.
She could clearly feel that her physical constitution had greatly strengthened, and her cultivation was also more solid.
"Did that boy heal you?" Jiang Mo Douluo suddenly asked.
"Mm." When Ye Qiu was mentioned, Qian Renxue's face suddenly felt a bit hot, and she nodded as if a little guilty.
"I didn't expect Ye Qiu to have such abilities!" Having received confirmation, Qian Jun Douluo also smiled with relief.
"He is indeed a rare genius!"
After praising Ye Qiu, he looked at Qian Renxue somewhat teasingly: "Xiao Xue, are you really not considering it?"
"W-what am I considering?!" Qian Renxue's face turned flustered, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"Haha… I was just joking, but you are the only descendant of the Qian family…" Qian Jun Douluo laughed casually; he was loyal to the Qian family.
He was also considering this for the inheritance of the Seraphim.
Although Qian Jun Douluo just said it casually, it still made Qian Renxue pause.
She asked herself, if she had to choose, that scoundrel was indeed a good choice.
His strength, talent, appearance, etc., were the best she had ever seen, and he could even perform a Spirit Fusion Skill with her.
But that guy had too many women, and there might even be some she didn't know about!
She pursed her lips. "Uncle Qian Jun, the matters of the Heaven Dou Empire are not yet over, I don't want to consider these things yet."
Qian Jun Douluo was about to say something more.
Thump, thump!
A knock sounded outside the door.
"Enter!" As Qian Renxue's voice fell, Porcupinefish and Snake Lance walked in.
Snake Lance Douluo was carrying a food box.
"Young Master, the medicinal cuisine you requested has been prepared!" After this assassination, Qian Renxue had become much more cautious, having Porcupinefish and Snake Lance oversee her meals and other provisions.
"Then give it to me!" Qian Renxue got up and took the food box into her hand.
After weighing it twice, she turned and walked towards the secret door.
"Two uncles, Xiao Xue will excuse herself for now." With that, she walked into the secret passage.
As the secret door closed, Jiang Mo Douluo looked at his twin brother somewhat strangely. "Big Brother, are you that optimistic about that boy?"
Qian Jun Douluo smiled faintly and found a place to sit down. "Rather than saying I'm optimistic about Ye Qiu, it's more like Xiao Xue herself. For something like this, with her personality, what good would it do for us to just talk about it?"
He had just taken in all of Qian Renxue's subtle expressions.
This medicinal cuisine was most likely prepared for that boy.
…
In the secret passage, Qian Renxue's body emitted a golden glow.
As she walked forward, her golden hair grew longer and softer, and her figure regained its fullness and curves.
Upon reaching the secret room, she carried the food box to the secret door leading to her boudoir.
Thump!
She placed the food box on the table in the middle.
Qian Renxue sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Ye Qiu, who was still in a deep sleep.
Qian Jun Douluo's words echoed in her ears, and her face flushed with a vibrant color.
She felt quite embarrassed and annoyed.
Her losses this time were truly great; this guy had seen everything!
Ye Qiu on the bed, sniffing the faint fragrance in the air, looked completely relaxed.
He must have been having a good dream, as the corners of his mouth curled up, smiling contentedly.
"Still smiling?!" Qian Renxue glared at him.
She reached out and pinched Ye Qiu's face, rubbing it, but it was her own face that started to feel hot.
"Let bygones be bygones, but after last night… how exactly should I treat you?!" She murmured to herself, looking at the exceptionally handsome Ye Qiu.
However, she didn't notice that Ye Qiu's fingers, which were outside the blanket, were twitching slightly.
Qian Renxue's soft hand glided over Ye Qiu's eyebrows, his nose… a sudden impulse arose in her heart to forcibly claim Ye Qiu for herself!
To think that she, Qian Renxue, the dignified inheritor of the Seraphim, with innate spirit power at level twenty.
Her cultivation and strength, when were they not far superior to her peers?!
Who else could make her stumble so many times?
Being enchanted by that scoundrel's Spirit, falling into his arms and being manipulated multiple times was one thing.
But that bastard was also the first person who dared to spank her butt.
And after last night, she had even fewer secrets left!
Yet, Ye Qiu remained as mysterious as ever.
She knew very little about him.
The more she thought about it,
the more she wanted to tear apart the thick mist surrounding Ye Qiu.
Her slender, scallion-like fingers danced across Ye Qiu's face.
"What should I do?"
Lightly touching his upturned lips, the expression on her face gradually turned dangerous.
"Heh." Qian Renxue bit her lip, gave a cold laugh, and withdrew her hand.
Looking at Ye Qiu, her red lips curved, and she slowly lowered her head.
Feeling a hint of hostility, Ye Qiu's eyelashes suddenly trembled, and a red glow flickered within them.
As their lips met,
Ye Qiu suddenly opened his eyes, revealing three rotating black tomoe.
Their gazes locked.
Qian Renxue's face flushed first, and her red lips, pressed against Ye Qiu's, stopped moving.
Then, her body stiffened.
Completely unprepared, pink mist surged from the depths of her gradually golden pupils.
Qian Renxue collapsed onto Ye Qiu without any resistance.
The bloody light in Ye Qiu's eyes quickly faded.
His mind was still a bit hazy after just waking up.
Why would Qian Renxue actively kiss him?!
As Ye Qiu looked on in a daze, Qian Renxue's beautiful face swayed.
Feeling a bit muddled and thinking it was a dream, Ye Qiu didn't refuse the sweetness in his mouth.
He reached out and embraced Qian Renxue's waist,
pulling her closer.
Everything proceeded as planned, following the procedure.
Qian Renxue's eyes showed a look of infatuation, her breathing quickened, and she slowly grasped Ye Qiu's shoulders.
"Hmph."
Suddenly, a muffled groan came.
Qian Renxue immediately felt a sharp pain in her chest.
Her eyes instantly cleared.
She looked at Ye Qiu, who was still closing his eyes and couldn't extricate himself.
Her eyes immediately filled with shame, anger, and ferocity.
She abruptly sat up.
Her lips stung, and a drop of crimson blood appeared.
"You bastard!"
Thump!
Qian Renxue let out a delicate shout, followed by a muffled thud.
A fist landed on Ye Qiu's stomach.
"Ugh, cough, cough."
Ye Qiu, still a bit bewildered, immediately clutched his stomach and coughed repeatedly.
Qian Renxue used her fingertip to touch her still glistening red lips, seeing a smear of blood.
The burning pain in his stomach
also made Ye Qiu sober up.
He paused for a moment.
His mind finally recalled.
He seemed to have passed out after helping Qian Renxue heal.
His eyes darted around, looking at his surroundings.
Purple gauze curtains, a fragrant silk quilt covering him.
In the air, there was also a familiar scent.
He took a deep breath, rubbed his stomach.
There seemed to be a bit of a metallic taste in his mouth.
His gaze fell on Qian Renxue, who was standing beside him, her eyes spitting fire.
He looked at her strangely.
He scratched his hair, forced a smile.
And said sheepishly, "Sorry… I just thought this was a dream."
"A dream?!"
Qian Renxue's face flushed red as she glared at Ye Qiu.
"You shameless man, just because it's a dream, you can do whatever you want?!"
If it weren't for the fact that he was still very weak, she would have unleashed a holy sword attack.
"Just now, I felt some hostility, and then I opened my eyes and saw you about to… do something to me…"
Speaking of this, Ye Qiu was also a bit at a loss for words, looking at Qian Renxue, feeling extremely strange.
He forced a bitter smile, covered his forehead, closed his eyes, and murmured, "That's why I thought it was a dream."
Hearing Ye Qiu's words,
Qian Renxue's body stiffened, a blush spreading from her face all the way down to her neck.
What she had just done was caught red-handed by Ye Qiu!
Her expression became flustered, and she no longer dared to bring up what had just happened.
However, Ye Qiu closed his eyes, covering his face, and carefully recalled.
Since what just happened wasn't a dream, then Qian Renxue…
At this thought,
Ye Qiu reopened his eyes and turned his head to look at Qian Renxue, who was still standing beside him.
He stared intently into her eyes, unmoving.
Under Ye Qiu's gaze,
Qian Renxue seemed to lose her nerves, forgetting to breathe, her pretty face flushed crimson.
Her eyes, like autumn waves, shimmered with water, constantly darting away.
In just an instant,
the courage in her heart to claim Ye Qiu for herself seemed to have been drained away.
Ye Qiu looked at her blankly.
A hint of surprise and understanding flashed in his eyes.
He was no longer the innocent Xiao Bai he used to be.
Connecting it with the conditions Qian Renxue mentioned during their last meeting,
he became even more certain of what he was thinking, yet also felt a headache.
Getting involved with such a proud woman didn't seem like a very wonderful thing?
Seeing Ye Qiu's understanding, conflicted, and increasingly strange gaze,
Qian Renxue could no longer bear it, taking a few deep breaths.
She let out a delicate shout, "You, what are you looking at?!"
Ye Qiu calmly turned his head and looked at the ceiling.
His voice was flat.
"Nothing."
"…"
Ye Qiu's coldness made Qian Renxue's breathing hitch.
A chill spread through her heart.
Did this guy know her thoughts?!
After a moment of silence,
Qian Renxue finally spoke, "Get up quickly, I've prepared some food for you."
Ye Qiu didn't react.
Qian Renxue frowned and called out again:
"Ye Qiu!"
"Ah? Oh, I got it!"
Responding, Ye Qiu immediately threw off the quilt and got up.
"Ah~ You bastard!"
Qian Renxue exclaimed, suddenly covering her eyes and turning her back.
"Holy crap!"
Ye Qiu also exclaimed, quickly pulling the quilt back.
Hugging the quilt, his face was full of embarrassment.
"You, why didn't you have someone help me put on clothes?"
"In that situation, how could I call someone in to help you dress?"
Qian Renxue said indignantly.
If someone came in and saw a naked man in her room, what would they think?
It was already good enough that she could carry him to her own bed!
"Well, wait for me."
Ye Qiu, hugging the quilt, activated his Kamui, disappearing with the quilt and himself.
Sensing that there was no movement behind her,
Qian Renxue also turned her head, looking around.
She couldn't see Ye Qiu anywhere.
After a while,
Ye Qiu reappeared in front of her, fully dressed.
He was still holding her pure white silk quilt.
After this small interlude, the previously tense atmosphere immediately dissipated.
Their gazes met and separated instantly, both of them somewhat avoiding eye contact.
They each went their own way.
Ye Qiu put the quilt back in its place.
Qian Renxue walked to the table and sat down, slowly taking out the contents of the food box.
"Your injuries should be almost fully recovered, right?"
"Fully recovered, thank you for this time."
"You're welcome."
As they spoke, Ye Qiu also came to the table and sat down.
Qian Renxue pushed the already poured tea in front of Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu took a sip, a little surprised.
This was actually the Blood Ganoderma he had brewed?
"I thought you needed this more right now, so I specifically had someone warm it up."
Qian Renxue said casually.
She then pushed a small pot of medicinal cuisine in front of Ye Qiu.
Her eyes never left Ye Qiu.
As if trying to discern something.
Ye Qiu lowered his head, slowly and leisurely eating his breakfast.
This medicinal cuisine was indeed good.
The speed at which his depleted spirit power recovered had increased significantly.
Seeing Ye Qiu deliberately avoiding her,
Qian Renxue gritted her teeth and let out a cold snort.
"Speak, what do you want to ask me?!"
When it came to business, Ye Qiu, who was eating, quickly stopped.
"I want to know the background of Evil Blood Douluo and those people. Where do they come from?"
"They are a group of Fallen, or rather, Evil Soul Masters!"
"They all came out of Death Canyon!"
Qian Renxue didn't say much, directly telling Ye Qiu what he wanted to know.
"Death Canyon? Isn't that your Spirit Hall's territory? Why haven't I heard you mention them before?"
Ye Qiu looked at her puzzled.
Regarding Death Canyon, the original work only had a few scattered words.
Ye Qiu only remembered now that Spirit Hall's Golden Generation had undergone life-and-death tempering there.
Although the effect of this tempering, apart from higher cultivation, wasn't really evident in other aspects.
"Hmph! I only learned of their origins after I was injured!"
Qian Renxue snorted coldly, her face unsightly, even showing a hint of disgust.
"?" Ye Qiu looked at her puzzled.
He put down his spoon and said in surprise, "Given your status, is it possible you wouldn't have access to this information?"
"Do you think that's possible?"
Qian Renxue glared at Ye Qiu.
"This is all because that crazy woman deliberately concealed these things. If I hadn't been injured, Grandpa would still be kept in the dark!"
Crazy woman?
Ye Qiu looked at her strangely, always feeling that her tone was a bit off when she mentioned this crazy woman.
Just as he was about to ask, Qian Renxue's voice sounded again.
"According to Grandpa, these Evil Soul Masters aren't even from our continent!"
"They're not from this continent?!"
Ye Qiu looked at her in shock.
"That's right! They came here through a spatial passage that was used by an ancestor decades ago and then abandoned! This is the answer Grandpa got after consulting with the ancestor!"
"Ancestor?!" Ye Qiu was shocked again, his mind a bit unable to comprehend.
He blurted out a question without reason.
"Is your ancestor still well?!"
"Ye Qiu! What do you mean by that?!"
Qian Renxue's face immediately darkened, wishing she could flay him.
This was the faith of her Qian family and even the entire Spirit Hall!
"Wait, wait for me, let me process this!"
Ye Qiu raised his hand to stop her, covering his face, digesting the information he had received.
The origin of Evil Blood and the others was now clear.
They should be from the Sun Moon Continent.
As for the ancestor Qian Renxue mentioned, there was no need to guess who it was.
The deity the Qian family served… the Angel God!
But, this was too outrageous, wasn't it?
The Angel God actually showed up?
The Evil Soul Masters from the Sun Moon Continent landed early?
What the hell was that accursed Ye Xiu doing!
Ye Qiu suddenly wanted to deny his speculation about Ye Xiu, he had no reason to cause such a big mess, right?!
"What's wrong with you?"
Qian Renxue looked at him puzzled.
Was it strange that her ancestor could manifest?
That was a deity!
"Nothing!"
Ye Qiu scratched his hair and asked again:
"So, does that mean you also know that there's a group of Evil Soul Masters in the Star Luo Empire?"
"I know!" Qian Renxue nodded, giving him a cold glance.
She wasn't curious why he knew this information, after all, among his women, there was a girl from the Star Luo Zhu family!
"Then your Spirit Hall isn't doing anything?" Ye Qiu looked at her strangely.
Qian Daoliu was just watching?!
"Do you think we don't want to move against them? But one move affects the whole situation, not only will our plans be disrupted."
"The exposure of our strength, the loss of combat power, the cold indifference of other forces, and the hidden Evil Soul Masters! All these are very important reasons!"
"Moreover, according to the ancestor's words, although most of them have flawed Spirits, there are also strong individuals among them!"
"Although the spatial passage in Death Canyon can no longer be used, they have already mastered other methods… If we don't kill them with one blow and they retaliate, the entire continent will fall into turmoil!"
"Also…"
After saying a lot in one breath, Qian Renxue's voice suddenly paused.
A look of confusion also appeared on her face.
"Also what?" Ye Qiu asked, puzzled.
"Also… Grandpa said that these Evil Soul Masters are to be dealt with by me!"
Qian Renxue looked at Ye Qiu with some confusion.
She didn't quite understand the reason for this.
However, Ye Qiu seemed to understand a little.
"This might be one of the future Angel God trials."
"Hoo~" Ye Qiu let out a long breath.
What Qian Renxue said was indeed not without reason.
At the very least, the Douluo Continent was still peaceful now.
If a conflict were to break out, given the complex and intertwined forces on the Douluo Continent,
It was possible that some forces would fish in troubled waters, stand by idly, or even embrace Evil Soul Masters, plunging the Douluo Continent into a bloodbath.
Ye Qiu temporarily put those thoughts aside and continued to ask what he wanted to know.
"By the way… who was that crazy woman you just mentioned?"
"The current Spirit Hall Pope!" Qian Renxue's face turned cold when she mentioned her.
Ye Qiu secretly thought, 'Sure enough, it's Bibi Dong without a doubt.'
But how could she still be crazy after inheriting the Asura God Position?!
"Ahem…" Ye Qiu coughed twice, asking somewhat cautiously:
"Then what's your relationship with that crazy woman you mentioned?"
"Hm? Why are you asking that?" Qian Renxue frowned, looking at him strangely.
"I'm just curious!" Ye Qiu explained with a dry laugh.
A hint of suspicion flashed across her face, and after observing him for a while, Qian Renxue didn't find anything unusual.
"There's nothing that can't be said. One of the reasons I'm here is to hide from her!"
"Ah?! Hiding from her?!"
Ye Qiu was completely stunned.
"You're using the wrong word, aren't you?"
"How is it wrong? That crazy woman always thinks I'm her daughter, and on top of that, she even wishes I'd die! She's truly a lunatic…"
Recalling that crazy woman, Qian Renxue felt an unbearable headache.
She didn't know why her grandfather chose her to be the Supreme Pontiff?
Dong-jie was clearly more suitable…
…
Ye Qiu stood frozen in place.
He felt like he had become an idiot.
Did Qian Renxue not recognize her mother? Or did she really have a different mother?
"What's wrong with you? Is there a problem with my answer?"
His strange behavior also made Qian Renxue roll her eyes.
Why had this scoundrel suddenly become so erratic?
"No, I'm fine, I was just too surprised!" Ye Qiu took two deep breaths.
He asked again.
"May I ask, who is your father?"
"Ye Qiu! Don't you think your curiosity is too strong? Besides, you should be able to figure out such a question yourself, right?"
A hint of anger rose on Qian Renxue's face.
Ye Qiu stiffened his neck, feeling a bit awkward.
"My apologies."
Then he closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead.
Asking such a question, he must have lost his mind!
Didn't Qian Renxue's Spirit already provide the answer?
In that case, it seemed Bibi Dong also had a big problem!
Even Qian Renxue's lineage might have issues!
Ye Qiu immediately felt a headache.
Qian Renxue watched Ye Qiu, who had stopped talking and had picked up his spoon again to eat.
She asked, "Are you done asking?"
"Done!"
Ye Qiu looked up and wiped his mouth.
He was done asking, and he was done eating.
He felt a chill in his heart.
The future situation had many more variables!
"Since you're done eating, follow me!" Qian Renxue stood up and walked towards a desk nearby.
Ye Qiu looked at her puzzled and followed closely.
Although this room was small, it was fully equipped. All kinds of furniture were available, and there seemed to be a small bathtub behind a screen in the corner…
Ye Qiu followed Qian Renxue to the desk. Qian Renxue squatted down and opened the bottom drawer.
Ye Qiu's attention, however, was drawn to a book on the desk.
It was none other than the "Two-Yin Heart Sutra" he had seen before.
What made Ye Qiu curious was that it seemed to contain some torn pages.
Ye Qiu picked it up and flipped through two pages.
The content immediately made Ye Qiu pause.
The pages seemed to contain mostly information related to himself, as well as to Zhu Zhuqing and the other girls…
Flipping further, there was actually a specimen of a Polygala lily, emitting a faint, elegant fragrance.
Ye Qiu's heart involuntarily beat twice.
Some things he had just confirmed became even clearer.
He remembered this flower.
It seemed he had given it to Qian Renxue before.
Looking further, it was precisely the missing pages of the "Two-Yin Heart Sutra."
He quickly scanned the content on them.
Ye Qiu's expression became strange, and he looked up towards Qian Renxue.
He happened to meet a pair of deep, gradually golden eyes, their golden pupils trembling, seemingly very nervous.
Qian Renxue held a long brocade box in her hand, her face flushed. She had been watching Ye Qiu for a long time.
She just hadn't disturbed him.
She looked deeply at Ye Qiu, her eyes filled with an exploratory gaze.
She had already suspected Ye Qiu earlier.
Noticing her gaze,
Ye Qiu immediately, somewhat flustered, put the item in his hand back.
He naturally understood what this item implied.
"I'm sorry… this…"
Regarding prying into someone's privacy,
Ye Qiu didn't know how to explain.
But he really was just curious about the later pages of the "Two-Yin Heart Sutra" at first.
Seeing Ye Qiu's evasive actions, Qian Renxue frowned.
A sudden surge of inexplicable anger rose in her heart.
Hehe.
She sneered inwardly.
Very calmly, she picked up the item Ye Qiu had put down again.
Her crimson face was radiant, but her eyes were somewhat cold.
Her voice was flat: "Why aren't you looking anymore? Are you afraid of something? Am I making you afraid?"
Ye Qiu opened his mouth but didn't speak.
His eyes were somewhat evasive.
Qian Renxue looked at him coldly, but her beautiful face grew hotter and hotter.
"Do you already know?"
Ye Qiu's heart skipped a beat, and he tentatively asked, "Which one are you talking about?"
"Everything!" Qian Renxue said coldly, raising the book in her hand. "The content inside, and…"
Shyly glancing at Ye Qiu, Qian Renxue bit her lip, her face like a peach blossom, her eyes like water.
"And the fact that I actively kissed you just now!"
"Yes, I do know! I also understand your feelings for me…"
Ye Qiu nodded calmly.
And even helped her complete an important piece of information.
He looked directly at her, not avoiding her gaze.
"Then why were you still afraid just now? Why did you pretend not to know?!"
Qian Renxue's heart pounded. She put down the item in her hand and walked in front of Ye Qiu.
"We're not suitable!"
Ye Qiu said calmly.
"Not suitable?"
Qian Renxue was stunned, then suddenly gave a cold laugh.
"If we're not suitable, then why did you have such dirty thoughts when you saved me last night?"
"If we're not suitable, why did you still actively hug me when you thought it was a dream just now?"
"If we're not suitable, why did you save me again?"
As Qian Renxue continuously questioned Ye Qiu,
She also kept approaching Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu stood there stunned.
He seemed to want to prove that he wasn't afraid at all by doing this.
Gradually, their bodies even pressed together.
"Answer me?!"
Qian Renxue's face was inches away.
As soon as she spoke, a fragrant breeze assailed him.
This close contact allowed both of them to clearly feel each other's heartbeats.
Ye Qiu stared at Qian Renxue's flushed beautiful face, breathing in her scent with every inhale and exhale.
Without much thought,
He quickly answered those questions one by one.
"I saved you only because we are friends."
"Having those thoughts last night is also a normal phenomenon…"
Qian Renxue, who was pressed tightly against Ye Qiu,
Her originally shy expression suddenly turned extremely ugly.
Because Ye Qiu's heartbeat had no fluctuations at all.
Which meant, these were all truths!
Could it be that this scoundrel had no feelings for her at all?!
Qian Renxue looked at Ye Qiu stubbornly.
Biting her red lips, which had been bitten by Ye Qiu earlier, a little blood oozed out.
She quietly listened to Ye Qiu's last answer.
"I didn't reject you just now because I didn't react in time…"
"Pfft, hahaha…"
Qian Renxue, who had an ugly expression, suddenly burst out laughing.
She looked at Ye Qiu with a smile.
Ye Qiu frowned, feeling somewhat unable to control himself.
Qian Renxue, laughing heartily, her breathing constantly changing, her chest rising and falling.
The constantly changing pressure made his mind wander.
After a hearty laugh,
Qian Renxue tilted her head slightly.
A hint of playfulness, triumph, and mockery appeared on her face.
"Ye Qiu, you're lying!"
"Just now, you weren't not rejecting me; you clearly wished you could have devoured me directly!"
"And when I laughed just now, your heartbeat seemed to have changed a bit too!"
Qian Renxue pressed closer again, stepping directly on Ye Qiu's toes.
To steady herself, Qian Renxue had already hugged Ye Qiu's neck.
Their foreheads touched.
"Ye Qiu, you clearly have feelings for me? Why do you say we're not suitable?! Humph~"
Qian Renxue's golden pupils suddenly trembled, and she let out a muffled grunt from her nose.
Gritting her teeth, she looked at Ye Qiu's azure blue eyes, puzzled.
Ye Qiu had already forcefully pulled her into his embrace, their noses touching.
After prolonged contact, both of them felt a little warm.
Qian Renxue even felt the strength of Ye Qiu's physique.
Her face instantly turned crimson.
Her eyes seemed to be misting up.
Ye Qiu's face was also a little unnatural, secretly cursing himself for being weak.
His voice was slightly hoarse.
"You're so beautiful, and your figure is good. All those intimate contacts during Spirit Fusion Skill training, and several accidental falls into my arms, and some accidents during the healing process last night that you mentioned…"
"Me not being moved? That would definitely be false!"
"But whether I'm moved or not, and whether we're suitable, are two different matters!"
"What you want is lifelong devotion, and I clearly cannot meet your requirements!"
"Therefore… we are indeed not suitable!"
Ye Qiu looked at Qian Renxue seriously, wanting to let her go.
But she was firmly stepping on his toes and hugging his neck.
"Oh? Is that so? So that's how it is…"
Qian Renxue suddenly understood.
Tilting her head slightly, she moved a little closer.
Ye Qiu's face flushed, trapped.
Qian Renxue's face was also rosy, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead.
Her red lips barely touched Ye Qiu's; whenever she spoke, they would occasionally brush against Ye Qiu's red lips.
Her gaze towards Ye Qiu became disdainful.
She sneered, "So… in the end, you're still afraid!"
.
"The reason you pretended not to know is actually because you're afraid I'll pester you and make your life uneasy."
"Afraid I'll harm your other women and cause them pain! Isn't that right?!"
