Ye Qiu and Zhu Zhuqing stood on either side of Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue, however, kept frowning, feeling that she was being underestimated. When did she ever need a Spirit Elder to protect her?
Ye Qiu, with his Sharingan activated, looked in the direction ahead, searching for a suitable Spirit Beast for Zhu Zhuqing, and at the same time, pondering how to ease the somewhat tense atmosphere between the two women.
As if thinking of something, Ye Qiu immediately had an idea.
In this situation, his mount, the Emerald Cloud Winged Tiger, was simply a perfect wingman!
For Spirit Masters on the Pan-Continent, Spirit Beasts were untrainable, so being able to ride a Spirit Beast was a very novel thing.
"Zhuqing, you two wait a moment!"
Hearing Ye Qiu's voice, Zhu Zhuqing stopped and looked at him strangely.
Qian Renxue's expression, however, turned cold.
She didn't expect Ye Qiu wouldn't even call her by her name anymore.
Ye Qiu's Sharingan spun in his eyes, and a pure white tiger appeared before the three of them.
"Spirit Beast?!" Qian Renxue immediately reacted, her spirit power surging as she vigilantly watched the suddenly appearing Emerald Cloud Winged Tiger.
"Qian Renxue, don't be nervous. Huzi won't hurt us." Ye Qiu stepped forward, hugged its large face, and stroked it a few times, letting it rub against him repeatedly.
"You two will both be absorbing spirit rings later, so why don't you save some energy and sit on Huzi's back instead!"
"Searching for Spirit Beasts, my Sharingan is enough!"
"Sit on its back?" Qian Renxue was surprised. Although Huzi looked a bit goofy and not very smart, it was still a Spirit Beast after all.
"Roar~" Huzi let out a low growl, as if it understood Qian Renxue's words, and nodded gently.
"Don't worry, we've ridden it before, it's very safe." Zhu Zhuqing also stepped forward and stroked it twice, a nostalgic look flashing in her eyes.
"How about it? Don't you want to try?" Ye Qiu looked at Qian Renxue with a smile, extended his hand, and invited her.
Qian Renxue hesitated, her heart eager to try, and slowly reached out her hand.
"Ah~"
She suddenly let out a cry of surprise, as Ye Qiu directly pulled her into his arms and held her tightly.
"Ye Qiu, let go of me!" Qian Renxue struggled, her face turning crimson as she noticed Zhu Zhuqing's gaze.
"Ah"
Ye Qiu didn't say much, directly picked her up by the waist, and the Emerald Cloud Winged Tiger also bent its very spiritually legs, allowing Ye Qiu to place Qian Renxue on its back.
"How is it? How does it feel?" Ye Qiu held her hand, looked at the still somewhat nervous Qian Renxue, and waited patiently.
"It's…it's alright!" Qian Renxue gripped Huzi's fur, feeling a bit excited in her heart.
"That's good. Make sure you sit steady!" Ye Qiu chuckled, squeezed her hand twice, then let go.
Qian Renxue's face was red, and at this moment, she had no time to argue with Ye Qiu over this small advantage.
"Zhuqing, I'll carry you up too." Ye Qiu extended his hand towards Zhu Zhuqing again.
Qian Renxue, on the tiger's back, also reacted and let out a cold snort.
"Mm!" Zhu Zhuqing smiled and nodded, actively wrapped her arms around Ye Qiu's neck, and at the same time, leaned close to Ye Qiu's ear, whispering softly: "I want to talk to her alone."
Ye Qiu subtly nodded, and then picked her up horizontally.
Although she had a large burden, her figure was tall and slender, with no excess fat around her waist, so carrying her felt much like carrying Ning Rongrong and the other girls.
Ye Qiu placed Zhu Zhuqing directly behind Qian Renxue.
As the two women touched, both their faces flushed.
After all, they had just met, and being so close made both of them a bit uncomfortable.
Qian Renxue could feel Zhu Zhuqing's power firsthand.
It was far more impactful than it had seemed before.
Zhu Zhuqing also felt a bit strange; although due to her own reasons, the two women couldn't get too close, the occasional pressure emanating from Qian Renxue made her body feel unusual.
"Ye Qiu, aren't you coming up?" Zhu Zhuqing asked Ye Qiu, her face red.
"No! You're not allowed to come up!" Qian Renxue looked down at Ye Qiu and said coldly.
If she really let him come up and sit at the very back, hugging both of them, wouldn't he be overjoyed?!
"Alright! Let's leave it at that." Ye Qiu smiled indifferently, exchanged a glance with Zhu Zhuqing, patted Huzi's head, and let it slowly walk behind him.
This way, with physical contact between the two women, they wouldn't both have cold expressions!
Zhuqing should also be able to have a good talk with her.
Ye Qiu chuckled softly, his Sharingan activated as he scanned the surroundings.
As Huzi moved on all fours, Zhu Zhuqing, who was sitting behind, became a bit unsteady and had no choice but to hug Qian Renxue into her arms.
"You, you let go of me!" Qian Renxue tightly gripped Huzi's soft fur, her face flushed with embarrassment as she struggled twice.
"I'm a little unsteady…" Zhu Zhuqing placed both hands on Qian Renxue's waist, making her feel quite a bit of ticklishness.
Damn it!
Qian Renxue cursed inwardly!
She was supposed to be the older one, yet she was being held in someone's arms like this!
The key was that the person actually had such a magnificent figure.
The gentle aura on her body was much more comfortable than the beast-skin sofa in her Prince's Residence, no wonder that scoundrel Ye Qiu often had this woman's scent lingering on him.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ye Qiu's back ahead, leaned slightly forward, and whispered into Qian Renxue's ear: "Can we have a good talk?"
Qian Renxue bit her silver teeth, feeling a bit uncomfortable, but she didn't refuse.
"What do you want to talk about?"
"Let's talk about Ye Qiu, or talk about you, or even me, or us." Zhu Zhuqing said unhurriedly.
Qian Renxue frowned, still a bit unaccustomed to such topics.
But she wasn't stupid!
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to impersonate Xue Qinghe for so many years with such ease.
As the grandson-in-law of Dugu Bo and the son-in-law of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ye Qiu had no need to bring Zhu Zhuqing here to be an eyesore.
To hunt Spirit Beasts, he could simply find those Titled Douluo.
Understanding this, she sneered and said, "Alright, then you talk… What does this scoundrel want you to do here?"
Ye Qiu, ahead, also felt as if he had thorns in his back, but he didn't turn around. He believed Zhuqing would handle it well.
Zhu Zhuqing was startled for a moment, but she had never intended to hide her purpose.
She recovered instantly.
"We'll save that for last. First, let me tell you about Ye Qiu's other women and myself, how about that?"
Qian Renxue pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly.
Having received her consent, Zhu Zhuqing began by talking about herself, particularly emphasizing her absurd confession in the Star Dou Great Forest.
In the layered jungle, a warm breeze blew against Qian Renxue's ears, reddening their tips and burning her beautiful face.
Hearing Zhu Zhuqing's narration, Qian Renxue looked at Ye Qiu strangely.
She didn't expect that before this guy became a philanderer, he was actually a blockhead, the indecisive kind…
But now, he had become shameless, always trying to take advantage of her.
Wishing everyone a pleasant life!
