Xiao Lan, dressed in fiery red, pulled out a crystal-clear candy from her spirit tool with a bitter expression and popped it into her puffed-out mouth.
"Alright, Xiao Lan, just a few more days, and we'll be in Soto City! Then you'll finally get to see your beloved big brother Ye Qiu!"
As she spoke, Dugu Yan, who was running, also looked in the direction of Soto City. Her yearning was no less than Xiao Lan's, as she could at least chat with her husband often.
"Mm, I know!" When Ye Qiu was mentioned, Xiao Lan finally perked up a bit. She rubbed her excellent figure, and a mischievous smile played on her lips.
"Xiao Lan has grown up, so I'll definitely give big brother a surprise then!"
Ye Lingling, who was being supported by the two girls, put away the smile on her face. For some reason, ever since Dugu Yan had said those words last time, she had been a little afraid to see Ye Qiu.
"Yan Yan Jie, do you think Xiao Lan should give big brother a heads-up first? So he can come pick us up…"
"Good idea! But let's tell him during the day. He should be asleep now… I just don't know who he's with."
Dugu Yan pouted, her tone a little resentful, not expecting that she had been out for so long.
She didn't even know what number she would be in line. Had he found other women?
"Mm-hmm." Xiao Lan nodded seriously, then curiously asked Dugu Yan, "Yan Yan Jie, do you think Xiao Lan will have a few more older sisters?"
Her tone was a little forlorn. If this continued, she would become the youngest, having to call everyone "older sister."
"How would I know that?" Dugu Yan rolled her eyes, not expecting Xiao Lan to be thinking the same thing as her.
Ye Lingling listened quietly. No matter when, she was always surprised by Dugu Yan's tolerance and generosity.
…
On the other side, under the night sky, Xue Beng's mansion seemed somewhat eerie for some reason.
Beneath this large imperial prince's residence, there was also a secret chamber, not dim, but instead enveloped in a layer of blood-red light, permeated with a strong smell of blood.
In this secret chamber, there was actually a pool of blood with bubbles churning within it.
Xue Beng was cultivating at the edge of the blood pool, while behind him, a blood-colored lizard entwined with blue electric light was inhaling the blood-red mist rising from the blood pool as if breathing.
At the center of the blood pool was Evil Blood Douluo, with blood-red eyes and beard, dressed in a blood-red robe, and a withered face. A blood-red bead floated above his head, seemingly containing a rolling sea of blood, imbued with immense power.
The blood-red light filling the secret chamber was emitted from that bead.
Not far from the shore, bottles and jars were placed on a table.
Hun Feng sat quietly by the table, concocting something, but every now and then, he would forcefully pound his head, and his face would become distorted.
Behind him, a Soul Devouring Beast, like a demon, vaguely appeared, its maw wide open, as if it could swallow Hun Feng at any moment.
Splash!
Xue Beng in the blood pool opened his eyes, fearfully glanced at the blood-red bead above Evil Blood Douluo's head, then got up and slowly walked to the shore.
He casually grabbed a blood-stained towel, wrapped it around himself, and sat down beside Hun Feng.
"Teacher!"
"Mm!" Hun Feng nodded faintly, casually tidied the table, then took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to Xue Beng.
"This thing is called Blood Corpse Powder. It can slowly kill a person and turn them into an obedient puppet. It's ready now, and the rest is up to you and Xue Xing!"
Xue Beng's eyes lit up, and he took the porcelain bottle without hesitation. It felt heavy in his hand; this was the key to him legitimately ascending the throne.
He silently put the bottle away and said seriously:
"Don't worry, I will explain this matter clearly to Imperial Uncle tomorrow."
"Hun Feng, what about Nangong and the others, and that woman's side? Any progress?"
Suddenly, a cold gust of wind blew, and Evil Blood Douluo, floating in the center of the blood pool, suddenly spoke.
His hoarse, chilling voice seemed to make the walls of the secret chamber frost over.
"Your Excellency, we still haven't found out who killed Nangong and the others. As for Liu…"
Hun Feng answered respectfully, but just as he was about to say something more, another sharp pain attacked his head. He knocked on it, and after failing to remember, he took out his book with a grim expression.
He then continued, "As for Liu Erlong, it's a bit difficult now. The other party seems to have a Titled Douluo level expert protecting her! And we can't make a big fuss within Heaven Dou City!"
"Hmph! That Nangong good-for-nothing, not only did he fail to capture the person, but he also lost our specially made container! He truly deserves to die!"
Evil Blood Douluo suddenly opened his eyes, shooting out two beams of blood-red light, scattering the blood mist in front of him.
"Since that's the case, let's put aside Liu Erlong's matter for now. The urgent task… is to collect more fresh blood!"
Evil Blood Douluo raised his head, looking at the blood bead in the air with reverence, as if it were a Divinity. This was their confidence.
As long as they could find a suitable person to inherit the Divinity they created, it would descend again!
The blood bead slowly sank, merging into the sea of blood behind Evil Blood Douluo.
"Jie jie jie…"
In the secret chamber, which had become dim again, a piercingly harsh laugh suddenly echoed, like a malevolent ghost.
Hun Feng frowned, and Xue Beng covered his ears.
…
At dawn, Ye Qiu kissed Qian Renxue goodbye, used his Divine power, and returned to Shrek Academy.
In the three girls' dormitory.
Zhuqing, as always, was the first to get ready. She sat quietly by the bed, waiting, with a gentle smile on her face.
She loved this time in the morning, because… as long as Ye Qiu came early, she would get a short period of time alone with him, a time when she didn't have to take turns with Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong.
"Ye Qiu~"
As soon as she saw Ye Qiu, she hurried over, her face beaming like a flower.
"Zhuqing, good morning!" Ye Qiu looked at the big cat, who was so well-endowed that he couldn't see her toes, as she squeezed into his arms. He couldn't help but tighten his embrace and gently kissed her lips.
"Mm, good morning!" Zhuqing's lips curved into a smile as she softly responded.
Ye Qiu embraced her and sat on the bed, then placed her on his lap, his hand wandering around her waist, eliciting a crimson blush on her face and a shimmer in her light purple eyes.
He pressed his face to her neck and gently sniffed, his red lips touching her skin, and softly said, "Zhuqing… the matter of hunting a spirit for you will have to wait a few more days."
"Mm, I'll… I'll listen to you."
A blush spread across Zhuqing's neck, her body trembled slightly, her pearly teeth gently bit her cherry lips, and she tilted her head back, holding Ye Qiu's neck to make it easier for him to do as he pleased.
Wishing everyone a pleasant life!
