Heaven Dou City, Moon Pavilion top floor.
Ye Qiu's figure appeared in a room other than Tang Yuehua's.
The room's layout was relatively simple: a large red carpet, a small bed against the wall, a tea table not far from it, and a harp in the center, identical to the one in Tang Yuehua's room.
At this moment, steam was rising from the tea table.
Here, a white-haired young woman was already waiting, dressed in a white gown, with a gentle smile on her lips, brewing tea.
"Ye Qiu!" Seeing her lover arrive, Xue Ke's fair and rosy cheeks became even more radiant, and her somewhat slender eyes revealed a hint of charm.
"Mm, sorry to keep you waiting," Ye Qiu caught her, wrapping one arm around her waist.
"No, I just arrived myself," Xue Ke smiled happily, pulling Ye Qiu towards the tea table.
She poured him the hot tea she had brewed, held the cup with both hands, gently blew on it, took a small sip, and then handed it to Ye Qiu.
All of this was taught to her by Tang Yuehua—how to take care of Ye Qiu. Although she had never served anyone before, she still learned very well.
Even this room was specially approved by Tang Yuehua for Ye Qiu and Xue Ke to 'meet privately'.
"Ye Qiu, did something good happen to you?" Xue Ke looked curiously at Ye Qiu, whose eyes were filled with smiles.
"Mm! Indeed… Xiao Lan and Dugu Yan are coming to Soto City," Ye Qiu took the tea she offered, taking a small sip. The temperature was just right.
He knew this was taught by Tang Yuehua, but he felt a bit strange about such a servant-like action. However, after getting used to it, only comfort remained.
"Xiao Lan Meimei?" Xue Ke was also stunned for a moment. She still remembered that mischievous little foodie. As for Dugu Yan, Ye Qiu had already explained everything to her.
"By the way, how is your Mysterious Heaven Skill cultivation coming along?" Ye Qiu asked.
"It's already very proficient…" When cultivation was mentioned, Xue Ke felt a bit down. Her talent wasn't outstanding, and her innate spirit power wasn't high. She was still some distance from becoming a Spirit Grandmaster.
Compared to Ye Qiu's other women, the gap was huge.
"Haha… Don't worry too much about that. I'll find a way to help you in the future!"
Seeing this, Ye Qiu pulled her into his arms and comforted her thoroughly with his actions.
"Mm," Xue Ke's face flushed, and she slowly pulled back her lips that Ye Qiu had released. After composing herself, she said leisurely, "Shall I play a new song I learned for you?"
"Alright!" Ye Qiu nodded and released her.
Xue Ke, with a flushed face, tidied her partially undone clothes, lightly kissed Ye Qiu's cheek, and then got up to walk to the harp in the center.
The melodious tune rose and fell.
Although it couldn't compare to Tang Yuehua's tender and intricate melodies, it had its own unique characteristics: a strong, youthful passion and love.
The same things had different flavors in the hands of the two.
Ye Qiu quite liked this difference.
The tea brewed by Tang Yuehua was elegant and mellow, while the one brewed by Xue Ke was fresher.
Each had its own merits!
Clang.
As the last note fell, Xue Ke's delicate hand caressed the strings, her gaze drifting towards Ye Qiu.
Seeing that he had been watching her the whole time, a sweet smile appeared on her face.
…
After some affectionate time, Ye Qiu asked Xue Ke to leave first.
The Moon Pavilion's lessons weren't heavy, but if she stayed too long, Ye Qiu was afraid of reigniting the somewhat dampened fuse of Qian Renxue's temper.
However, Xue Ke seemed to have other matters to discuss with Ye Qiu, and shyly pulled him to sit on the small bed.
…
About half an hour later, the door opened.
"Ah! Yuehua… Sister Yuehua!"
With a flushed face, half-covering it with her sleeve, the flustered Xue Ke had just come out of the room when she almost bumped into Tang Yuehua.
"Xue Ke, what is this…?" Tang Yuehua looked at Xue Ke in surprise, her hands slightly bent, tightly gripping her sleeves, her half-covered face seemingly smudged.
"I… I just…" Xue Ke's face was red, and she stammered, not knowing what to say.
However, Tang Yuehua, sensing something, had already understood, and a blush appeared on her face as well.
She pointed to her own room.
She whispered, "Go clean up inside before you leave!"
"Mm, thank you, Sister Yuehua…" Xue Ke, with a red face and furrowed brows, entered Tang Yuehua's room.
Tang Yuehua also gave a small chuckle and walked towards the room where Ye Qiu was.
"Hoo~"
At this moment, Ye Qiu was lying flat on the small bed in the room, exhaling a breath of turbid air, emptying his mind, and entering a state of desirelessness, like a sage.
While feeling completely comfortable, he couldn't help but secretly sigh that Xue Ke was indeed an excellent harpist. Her massage techniques were so flexible and varied, much better than Ning Rongrong's, who had practiced for so long.
She just lacked some experience, otherwise, she wouldn't have been so tired and disheveled.
Hearing the sounds from outside, Ye Qiu knew that Tang Yuehua had arrived.
"Qiu," Not long after, a gentle voice sounded beside his ear.
"Yuehua." Ye Qiu also sat up, looking at her teasing smile, his eyes becoming strange.
"Did you teach her all this?!"
Tang Yuehua's face flushed, and she nodded slightly.
"What's wrong? Are you not satisfied?"
"No, not at all… It just feels like things are progressing too quickly, and she's still…"
Ye Qiu shook his head. Xue Ke was still very gentle.
"What's wrong with that?" Tang Yuehua rolled her eyes at him, walked to the bed, sat in Ye Qiu's arms, and looking up, whispered, "No matter what her identity is, isn't she still your woman?"
Ye Qiu gave an awkward smile, then hugged Tang Yuehua and lay down. "Alright, lie with me for a while!"
"Mm!" Tang Yuehua nestled into Ye Qiu's arms, finding the most comfortable position for herself, and quietly embraced Ye Qiu.
Outside the window, Spirit Vulture Douluo, who had arrived early to report to Tang Yuehua, watched as Xue Ke's slender fingers gently caressed the harp strings, and then continued to play, completely emptying Ye Qiu's thoughts.
She covered her eyes, half-closed, taking in all those scenes.
Seeing Tang Yuehua lie down with him again, her already flushed face turned even redder, filled with both shame and anger!
She, a dignified Titled Douluo, had already squatted by the wall countless times!
…
Time flew by.
After bidding farewell to Tang Yuehua, Ye Qiu bought some dishes in Heaven Dou City and took them to Life Lake to have lunch with the three girls.
"Alright, Xiao Wu, hurry up and go cultivate!" After a half-hour nap, Ye Qiu unhooked Xiao Wu, who was clinging to him, and was about to help her put on her coat.
"Wait, Xiao Qiu."
After putting it on, Xiao Wu suddenly handed him a pair of dry, new pants, her face flushed with shyness, indicating for Ye Qiu to help her change into them.
Ye Qiu also understood.
He was indeed a bit dishonest, and Xiao Wu was also very… moist.
…It didn't take long.
After greeting Ning Rongrong and the two girls, as well as Da Ming and his brother, Ye Qiu sat down cross-legged beside Life Lake.
Several brocade boxes given by Qian Renxue were placed in front of him, and he slowly began to cultivate.
He needed to finish the spirit hunting matter as soon as possible, otherwise, when Xiao Lan and the others arrived, he might be busy for a while again.
He hoped they could get along well.
The midday sun set in the west, and the temperature in Life Lake gradually dropped.
Ye Qiu, sitting cross-legged by the lake, slowly opened his eyes.
The several brocade boxes in front of him were already empty, and his mental force had increased significantly.
Adding Ten Thousand Year spirit rings to Zhuqing and Qian Renxue would be no problem at all!
I wish everyone a pleasant life!
