"Is that so?" Qian Renxue responded indifferently, then gave a cold laugh: "Since you don't want to touch me, why are you holding me so tightly?!"
"Haha. I never said I wouldn't touch you. I'm just learning my lesson, reminding myself not to go too far next time, and to avoid being handsy and taking advantage with just words!"
Ye Qiu suddenly chuckled, gently kneading Qian Renxue's small, delicate and smooth hand.
"You!" Qian Renxue gritted her teeth, her shame and indignation beyond words.
She could only warn him again: "Even just with words, that's not allowed! You can't touch me without my permission!"
"Hmm, I understand!" Ye Qiu nodded, answering very seriously, with a hint of disappointment on his face, using a tiny bit of acting to amplify the disappointment slightly.
Qian Renxue felt a mix of joy and anger in her heart, shook off Ye Qiu's hand, and stood up directly.
"I don't want to cultivate tonight!"
"Not cultivating?" Ye Qiu looked at her strangely, also getting up, wanting to grasp her soft hand again, but she dodged him.
"Then what should we do?"
"Take me out for a walk!" Qian Renxue said faintly to Ye Qiu. She had never walked side by side with Ye Qiu outside before, and she wanted to try that feeling.
"Alright! As you wish." Ye Qiu chuckled, extending his hand in front of Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue hesitated for a moment, then gave her hand to Ye Qiu, never expecting that Ye Qiu would directly hold her soft hand and lightly kiss the back of it.
"Ye Qiu!" A delicate shout echoed in the secret room, but the two figures had already disappeared from inside.
…
The night was deep, and the bright moon hung high.
Ye Qiu brought Qian Renxue to a grassy area full of fireflies. This was a cliff, with a cool night breeze blowing.
At this moment, Qian Renxue still had some anger on her face, rubbing the back of her hand, which Ye Qiu had kissed, until it was red.
Seeing this, Ye Qiu raised his eyebrows, and a mischievous thought suddenly arose in his heart.
He decided to turn the tables.
"Qian Renxue!"
Ye Qiu walked past her, approaching the edge of the cliff, and turned to call her name.
"What do you want?!" Qian Renxue stopped her actions, looking at him strangely, always feeling that his voice seemed to have grown colder.
Ye Qiu looked at her quietly and slowly said, "Do you hate me very much?"
?!" Qian Renxue was stunned for a moment, looking at Ye Qiu, and suddenly felt a pang in her heart.
She gently shook her head, then nodded.
This series of actions, however, left Ye Qiu bewildered. He didn't know how to speak, so he could only look at her in confusion.
"I hate you, I hate the you who holds other women in your heart! But…" Qian Renxue explained coldly, then slowly walked forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Ye Qiu.
She looked up at the bright moon in the sky, which seemed to reflect the figure of a blue-haired young man.
She silently completed the second half of the sentence in her heart: But… I find myself hating you less and less!
She turned her head and met Ye Qiu's gaze, her eyes frighteningly calm.
"You said… will you die?"
Ye Qiu also became serious, shaking his head. "I don't know, but I don't want to die!"
"Is that so… It seems you're not sure if I'd really be willing to kill you!" Qian Renxue murmured, her voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz, scattered by the strong wind on the cliff.
"Ah~ Wu!"
Qian Renxue gasped, already tightly embraced by Ye Qiu, her red lips sealed, unable to speak, and gradually, she began to cooperate with Ye Qiu.
The night gradually deepened. Ye Qiu lay on the grass, with a few fingerprints on his face. Yes… he couldn't resist again and accidentally touched the forbidden zone.
At this moment, Qian Renxue was lying on his chest, quietly closing her eyes, a faint smile on her lips.
It seemed it wasn't just him who couldn't control himself.
…
At dawn, the sky was still a bit dim, but a long-formed biological clock allowed Ye Qiu to wake up on time.
Looking at the white frost covering Qian Renxue's golden hair, turning it white, it seemed to add a touch of Charm to her, more so than her golden hair.
"Uh…" Suddenly, Ye Qiu's face showed some surprise.
He extended his index finger and gently touched Qian Renxue's red lips.
Very moist, very slippery.
He hadn't expected that the esteemed Qian Renxue would also drool when she slept.
Qian Renxue's eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes, her gradually golden pupils still a bit dazed.
She felt the moisture on her lips and Ye Qiu's teasing.
"Take your dirty hand away!"
Her face immediately flushed, and she sat up at once.
White hair, golden eyes, red face, crystal clear red lips—there was a unique kind of beauty.
She looked at Ye Qiu with displeasure, about to wipe away the glistening moisture from the corner of her mouth with her sleeve, but Ye Qiu caught her wrist.
"Let me help you!" Ye Qiu also sat up, smiling.
"If you dare to mess around, I will really pull out your tongue!" Qian Renxue looked at Ye Qiu's moving lips and warned him fiercely.
She hadn't reached the point of sharing everything with Ye Qiu yet!
"Haha… how could I!" Ye Qiu gave a dry laugh, holding Qian Renxue's wrist and using her own sleeve to gently wipe her face.
"You scoundrel! Are you deliberately looking for trouble?!" Qian Renxue was almost laughing from anger. What was the difference between this and her wiping it herself?
"No way, it's just that you said my hand was dirty!" Ye Qiu teased with a smile, then extended his hand again, steam rising from it, evaporating all the dew on Qian Renxue's clothes and hair, leaving them completely dry.
"Alright, we should leave!" Ye Qiu stood up and pulled Qian Renxue up as well.
"Hmph!" Qian Renxue snorted coldly. She naturally knew what Ye Qiu was going to do; he always finished his cultivation at this time.
Ye Qiu gave an awkward laugh, took Qian Renxue's hand, and activated his Divine Might.
In a flash, they were back in the secret room of the Prince's Residence.
…
Just as Ye Qiu and Qian Renxue were sleeping outdoors.
Dozens of kilometers from Soto City, a group of nine people were rushing along the road under the cover of night.
At the end of the team were three young women. One had long purple-green hair, another was a red-haired girl, and between the two girls was a white-haired woman.
"Yan Yan Jie, how much longer do we have to run before we can rest?!" Xiao Lan, the red-haired girl, pouted, unable to stop herself from yawning.
"We probably won't be able to rest tonight." Dugu Yan was also a bit helpless. This was a training exercise arranged by Teacher Qin Ming, and she couldn't say much.
"Haha… Who told you to drag Yan Zi shopping all day? Now you know what tired feels like!" Ye Lingling, who was in the middle, was very tired, but still couldn't help but tease Xiao Lan.
This group was none other than the Royal Fight Team, who had been out for several months.
Qin Ming, who came from Shrek, also had a special fondness for running.
