The two opened their eyes almost simultaneously and exhaled a breath of stale air.
"Ye Qiu..."
"Qian Renxue, I have some things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now!"
Ye Qiu, who had just opened his eyes, glanced at the hourglass in the secret room. Before Qian Renxue could speak, he quickly greeted her and disappeared from the bed using his divine power.
It was time for him to go back and escort Dugu Yan to the academy.
"Ah~!"
Qian Renxue, who had been quietly leaning against Ye Qiu's back, suddenly collapsed onto the stone bed without any warning. A muffled thud came from the back of her head, and she let out a cry of pain.
"Ye~ Qiu~!"
In the empty, secret room, came Qian Renxue's furious roar, her teeth clenched.
"What do you take this place for! Ugh, you ungrateful wretch!"
Bang!
With a loud crash, when the two men with the serpent spears outside rushed in, they saw that the stone bed, which had just been replaced, had once again been cleaved in two by their young lady's sacred sword.
"You two!"
"Miss?" The two men, Porcupine and Serpent Spear, bowed, their eyes filled with doubt.
"Go and throw away all the soup that the kitchen prepared! Throw it all away! I'm so angry!"
I was planning to ask him if he wanted to stay for breakfast, but he left even more decisively than usual!
It's always the same; they just finish and leave!
She lost her appetite because of it; she was so angry she felt full!
He glared at the "Secret Technique of Concealing Spirits" in his hand, muttering to himself.
"Want more? Hmph... I'll make you wait a few more days!"
……
Seven days later, in the woods outside the Royal Fighting Team's training ground.
On the horizon, the setting sun painted a golden line, and the golden afterglow fell upon a graceful young woman in a purple training uniform.
Her long, purplish-green hair swayed gently in the evening breeze, and her green eyes, filled with tenderness, gazed quietly at the space not far in front of her.
Even though Ye Qiu was quite late, Dugu Yan showed no impatience, only anticipation.
Ye Qiu dropped her off today, but he hasn't been seen all day!
"Yanyan!"
The space in their line of sight began to shift, and two blue figures appeared on the open ground.
"Ye Qiu! Hmm? And Xiao Lan too!"
A look of surprise flashed in Dugu Yan's eyes, and she ran towards Ye Qiu with the gift in her arms.
Seeing the little blue girl he was holding, she stopped in her tracks. Seeing her, Dugu Yan already knew why Ye Qiu was late today.
"Sister Yan Yan! Would you like one?" Xiao Lan greeted her happily.
She was holding several strings of candied hawthorns in her hand. Ning Rongrong had spent a little money on them in Tiandou City because she was touched by Ning Rongrong's constantly mournful face.
There were still quite a few things piled up in the soul tool in her hand.
"Haha...no need, you can eat it yourself!" Dugu Yan chuckled and shook her head at her.
She habitually wrapped her arms around Ye Qiu's, leaned on his shoulder, and asked softly.
Has she already left?
"Yes! I just saw Rongrong off from Tiandou City..."
Ye Qiu nodded slightly, a hint of worry still showing on his forced smile.
Although he had already told her a lot of things, and even given her several Zhuge Repeating Crossbows...
"Ye Qiu~ Will you... blame me?" Dugu Yan leaned close to Ye Qiu's ear, her warm breath adding a touch of gentleness to the cool evening breeze.
"How could I blame you? Besides, even Sect Leader Ning encourages Rongrong to go out and travel more..."
He gently nuzzled her forehead, then withdrew his hand, wrapped it around her slender waist, and pulled her into his arms.
"That's good... Let's go home then! Mwah~" Dugu Yan smiled and gently pecked Ye Qiu on the cheek.
"Brother~ Little Blue too..."
"Get away from me!" Ye Qiu disgustedly avoided Xiao Lan's red lips, which were covered in rock candy.
"Ah! My brother is biased..."
Amidst the commotion, Ye Qiu unleashed his divine power, carrying the two women back to Sunset Forest.
……
When Ning Rongrong stepped out of Tiandou City, she was far away on the border of the Tiandou Empire, near the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest close to Soto City.
A hot girl wearing a leather jacket, cat ears, and a cat tail hanging from the back of her clothes is wandering through the jungle.
Suddenly, a figure flashed behind them, and arrows pierced the air, their tips gleaming with a dark light, as if coated with deadly poison!
Swish!
Meow! The martial spirit instantly possessed the body, and with a roll, it dodged all the arrows.
Bang! Bang! More than a dozen figures rushed out and surrounded her.
"Miss Zhuqing, please come back with us! The young lady will definitely not hurt you!"
Zhu Zhuqing turned around and glanced behind her, her eyes icy cold, and her words seemed to carry a chill.
"Is Davis always so secretive about his actions?"
The person in front of her was a level 46 Soul Master, with four soul rings of yellow and purple pulsating beneath his feet.
"Your subordinate doesn't understand what you're talking about. We're just following Miss's orders!"
Looking at the three spirit rings—one yellow and two purple—at Zhu Zhuqing's feet, he was also somewhat amazed.
Unfortunately, the tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind!
Zhu Zhuqing frowned and remained silent, while the shadowy spider spears behind her stirred restlessly.
Her eyes swept around, her expression somewhat solemn. If it were just one Soul Master, she could still be somewhat confident... but there were as many as three Soul Masters in the team!
"It seems Miss Zhuqing is going to have to suffer the consequences instead of accepting the offer!"
The black-clad man leading the group had a hoarse voice. He slowly raised his hand, and the people around him gradually activated their martial spirits, creating a dazzling and magnificent spectacle.
"Everyone, take action immediately! Death or life is no object!"
The raised hand was quickly lowered, and the remaining dozen or so people immediately approached Zhu Zhuqing!
*Poof!* Just as Zhu Zhuqing unleashed her spider spears, another rough sound came from outside the circle.
"Kill! Leave no one behind!"
Outside the encirclement, another group of men in black appeared and attacked her without saying a word.
"Who goes there?! Oh no! It's the Soul King!"
"Ah~!"
"Spare us! We are the Crown Prince's... Ah!"
"..."
The clash of soul skills, mixed with the screams of the dying, echoed through the forest.
After a while, the sounds subsided.
The ground was stained with blood and littered with corpses, as if telling the story of the fierce battle that had just taken place.
"Miss Zhuqing, please don't be nervous... The eldest young lady asked me to tell you that this is her sincere wish, hoping that you can bring back what she needs!"
They stood in a row in front of Zhu Zhuqing, and the tall man at the head of the group, seeing that she was still very wary, spoke up to explain.
"Hehe... Four Soul Kings, did my sister empty most of her savings? That's quite touching..."
Zhu Zhuqing had witnessed the battle and gained a general understanding of the strength of these individuals.
Zhu Zhuqing calmly replied, putting away the spider spears behind her.
"Please tell her that I will do my best!"
"Then I wish you swift success! Retreat!"
Swish swish!
They came quickly and left quickly, disappearing swiftly at the man's command.
Zhu Zhuqing watched their retreating figures and the mess on the ground, then quickly left as well.
The sun was about to set, and she had to hurry to leave the Starry Sky Forest.
Continuing towards Soto, as I gazed at the setting sun, an image of a black-haired, blindfolded boy involuntarily came to mind.
