"Why..." Xue Ke covered her flushed face and looked at Ye Qiu in confusion.

"Because this is the normal situation for most ordinary people in this world! In the villages surrounding these cities... and even in some small towns, there are many people worse off than me!"

Ye Qiu smiled calmly. There was really nothing to pity or feel sorry for; it was just a common occurrence among ordinary people.

But Xue Ke stood there, stunned.

As an imperial princess, she had never stepped out of Tiandou City, nor had she even traveled all over the city, let alone known the hardships of ordinary people.

She had never seen anything like it before.

"Hey, sit here for a bit, I'm going to fix up this house!"

Ye Qiu took out a stool directly from the Divine Might Space and placed it in front of Xue Ke.

"How about I help you?"

"No need, I'll be quick."

Ye Qiu pressed her down onto the stool, then turned around and took out materials from the Divine Might Space to replace the rotten wooden planks, doors, and other parts.

He then used his Sharingan to examine the stone house, noting which stone was causing any trouble.

About fifteen minutes later, Ye Qiu had finished all these things.

Xue Ke didn't just sit there; she followed closely beside Ye Qiu, quietly watching him.

"Ye Qiu..." Xue Ke walked up to Ye Qiu, gently brushed the dust off his face with her sleeve, and called out softly.

"Well, what happened?"

Xue Ke looked at Ye Qiu intently, then suddenly revealed a gentle smile.

He said softly, "I believe that Father and my elder brother, the Crown Prince, will make their lives even better!"

Ye Qiu paused for a moment, then smiled meaningfully.

Given the current situation, it's truly uncertain who will ultimately claim the throne!

He didn't say much, just nodded slightly and said, "Well, I hope so!"

"Yes, definitely!" Xue Ke nodded seriously, then pointed to some wooden toys in a corner. "Ye Qiu, did you play with those when you were little?"

"No, that's not it. That was something I made for Xiao Wu before..." Ye Qiu shook his head, and as he spoke, he took out the incense from his Divine Might Space.

"Xiao Wu..." Xue Ke, who had been quite happy, suddenly fell silent. She knew Ye Qiu had other women, and a sense of unease crept into her heart. "They..."

"They're easy to get along with..." Ye Qiu said with a smile, turning to walk towards the peach tree outside the house.

Upon hearing this, Xue Ke blushed and was overjoyed.

Does Ye Qiu mean that he has already accepted her?

"Ye Qiu!" Xue Ke called out happily and chased after him outside the stone house. Before she even stepped out the door, she saw Ye Qiu kneeling in front of an old peach tree.

Concealing her joy, she tiptoed closer to Ye Qiu. Upon seeing the burning red incense sticks and hearing Ye Qiu's words, she didn't hesitate and, blushing, knelt down in front of Ye Qiu's surprised gaze.

Ye Qiu simply laughed it off.

In the time that followed, Ye Qiu did indeed take Xue Ke for a walk.

First, he visited Old Zhang and Aunt Zhang at the village chief's house, leaving them some money and using his soul skill to heal their internal injuries... He also left them some longevity-promoting herbs.

During this time, because of Xue Ke, whom he brought back, Old Zhang gave him a good scolding, thinking that he was heartless and had dumped Xiao Wu.

Seeing Ye Qiu's embarrassed expression for the first time, Xue Ke couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

After spending a short time together, Ye Qiu left Biyou Village with Xue Ke.

He can't take Xueke out for too long.

At the village entrance, Xue Ke lowered her head, tugging at Ye Qiu's clothes, following behind him like a timid wife.

Two rows of teeth marks appeared on her bright red face.

Perhaps because he had been scolded by Old Zhang, Ye Qiu, seeing Xue Ke making fun of him, childishly bit her face twice.

Xue Ke was so embarrassed that she couldn't lift her head. Her shyness was mixed with joy. Although she kept her head down, there was a smile on her lips.

"Alright, let's go take a look at Notting City next!" Ye Qiu grabbed Xue Ke's hand, glanced at Biyou Village again, and was about to activate his divine power to leave.

"Huh? I...I still have teeth marks on my face~"

Xue Ke lowered her head and covered her face, her voice delicate and faint.

"Ha...who told you to make fun of me!" Ye Qiu chuckled and slowly removed Xue Ke's hand.

Xue Ke looked up at him, pouting as she muttered, "Yeah, I won't do it again..."

"I'm sorry..." She reached out and cupped Xue Ke's small face in her hands.

The surging soul power transformed into life force, slowly smoothing away the teeth marks on both sides of the cheek.

I gently rubbed her smooth skin, and it had already returned to its original state—moist, radiant, and elastic.

Boo!

Xue Ke quickly tiptoed and gently kissed Ye Qiu's lips. Then she hugged Ye Qiu, leaned against his chest, and whispered that she was alright.

Space distorted, and Ye Qiu and Xue Ke's figures disappeared at the village entrance.

In Nottingham, Ye Qiu took Xue Ke back to the carving shop where he had worked as a part-time student and visited Jerry and Tom, his former employers.

It took Ye Qiu a lot of talking to prove that he was himself.

After sharing some of his own experiences and leaving some herbs to treat their internal injuries, Ye Qiu bid farewell to Xue Ke.

"Woof woof~"

As Ye Qiu and Xue Ke left, a gray-white bulldog with a red collar around its neck barked at them again at the shop entrance.

The elderly couple had no children of their own, so they adopted this child to keep them company; they apparently named him Spike...

……

Walking through Notting College, Xue Ke held Ye Qiu's arm, looking happy and content.

"Ye Qiu, will you still bring me out in the future?"

"Of course, no problem, if I have time..." Ye Qiu readily agreed. "But on one condition... you're not allowed to mention me to Brother Xue..."

"Huh?" Xue Ke looked at Ye Qiu in surprise, somewhat confused, but when she thought of how Xue Qinghe often spoke ill of Ye Qiu in front of her, she nodded seriously.

"Well, I remembered it!"

In her heart, however, she was secretly determined to find an opportunity to get her elder brother, the Crown Prince, and her father to agree to this marriage that she had chosen herself!

"Alright, we should go back now!" Ye Qiu looked up at the sky; it was already noon, almost lunchtime.

"Mm!" Xue Ke nodded slightly. She felt that she and Ye Qiu had already tacitly acknowledged their relationship.

With the activation of divine power, the journey to revisit familiar places has come to an end.

"Ah! Teacher Yuehua..."

As soon as they returned to the top floor of Yuexuan, the two ran into Tang Yuehua.

"How was it? Did you have fun?" Tang Yuehua teased Xue Ke, who was tightly hugging Ye Qiu.

"Kai, Kaixin..." Xue Ke hurriedly let go of Ye Qiu and then ran downstairs.

"See you next time, Ye Qiu!" After saying that, she swallowed hard, and seeing Tang Yuehua's teasing expression, she had no choice but to give up her idea of ​​giving Ye Qiu a kiss and ran downstairs.

He didn't forget to greet Tang Yuehua.

Goodbye, Teacher Yuehua!

"Hehe...this girl is really shy!"

Tang Yuehua smiled gently, walked towards Ye Qiu, took Xue Ke's place, and hugged Ye Qiu tightly.

Sure enough... even my magnanimity has its limits, and I was still a little jealous.

Chapter 249 Raising troops to investigate crimes

While Ye Qiu was taking Xue Ke for a stroll around.

At Shrek Academy.

Flander had already separated Dai Mubai and the other two who were tied together, and brought them back along with his disciple Ma Hongjun.

At this moment, Tang San and the others were still unconscious and had not yet woken up.

Their appearance shocked Oscar. Although they had long been separated from Flander, the disgusting aura they exuded still made Oscar frown.

A sense of fear rose in her heart towards Ye Qiu; she hadn't expected him to go to such lengths.

"Flander, what on earth happened to Tang San and the others?!" Zhao Wuji, who had rushed over, was shocked to see the scene. All four of them were ragged and covered in blood.

What a miserable word.

"Sigh, I don't know either..." Flander's expression was solemn as he looked at the four slumped figures, unable to bear the sight.

He already didn't have much money left, and now the medical expenses for these people have made Shrek Academy even worse off.

Of the four, Ma Hongjun was the least injured compared to Dai Mubai and the other two.
