Swish!
The black material clinging to Xiaowu's skin under her clothes turned into a liquid and flowed out, reforming into a human shape beside her.
"Ye Qiu~"
As soon as she appeared, Xiaowu pounced on Ye Qiu on the bed, constantly rubbing her head against him.
"Alright, do you remember what I told you before?" Ye Qiu gently picked up Xiaowu, helping her sit up properly.
Hearing Ye Qiu's words, the joy on Xiaowu's face faded, and she nodded slightly: "I remember, when are you planning to leave?"
Ye Qiu reached out and rubbed Xiaowu's head, thought for a moment, then smiled: "I'll stay with you for a few more days."
Hearing this, Xiaowu still felt a little sad, grabbing Ye Qiu's arm and pleading: "You really can't take Sister Xiaowu with you?"
"Absolutely not!"
Ye Qiu shook his head decisively.
He had now broken through to level forty.
He had previously consumed the Strange Velvet Sky-Piercing Chrysanthemum, and also undergone the Ice and Fire Tempering by swallowing the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Fiery Delicate Apricot. With all these buffs stacked, his physical strength far surpassed that of Tang San at the same level. The same was true for his spiritual power; the Wishful Looking Autumn Dew wasn't consumed for nothing.
Since Tang San could handle a ten-thousand-year fourth spirit ring, there was no reason why he, Ye Qiu, couldn't!
As for a ten-thousand-year spirit beast, not to mention whether the teachers could defeat it, just his idea alone would be enough to greatly surprise them.
So Ye Qiu decided to return to the Sunset Forest, seek help from Dugu Bo, and while he was at it, visit his fiancée whom he hadn't seen in nearly ten months.
"Then when will you be back? I'm so bored when you're not around." Xiaowu wrapped her legs around Ye Qiu, pressed her tender face against his ear, gently shaking her head, her face flushed red.
Ye Qiu played along, pressing his ear and cheek against hers, and said softly: "I probably won't be coming back."
"Ah?!"
"How can that be? Are you not going to want Sister Xiaowu anymore?"
As soon as she heard Ye Qiu wasn't coming back.
Xiaowu immediately shivered, looked at Ye Qiu in disbelief, and then cried out in pain.
"Ah woo~!"
Ye Qiu knocked Xiaowu's head in annoyance, rolled his eyes as he watched her cover her head, teary-eyed.
"What are you thinking? Am I the kind of person who abandons others after having their way? Besides, I haven't even eaten rabbit meat yet, how could I not want you?"
Ye Qiu chuckled, pinching Xiaowu's waist which had no excess flesh at all. Compared to Ah Yin's, each had its own charm. Ah Yin had a fleshy feel, a just-right plumpness, a soft and yielding sensation. Xiaowu's, on the other hand, was full of delicacy and resilience.
Xiaowu's face turned red, and she stared at Ye Qiu, correcting his words with a wronged expression. "Even if you finish eating Sister Xiaowu... you're not allowed to not want me... otherwise, I'll die for you to see!"
"Haha... naturally."
Ye Qiu felt that he might be a bit of a scumbag, but a sense of responsibility was indispensable, not to mention he didn't have the habit of leaving rice grains in his bowl.
As he spoke, Ye Qiu bit Xiaowu's face, making her already rosy apple-like cheeks even more alluring.
Xiaowu was already used to it, only feeling a little shy, leaning on Ye Qiu's shoulder, speaking softly and tenderly.
"Then if you don't come back, what will Sister Xiaowu do?"
Facing Xiaowu's question, Ye Qiu quickly made a decision after a moment of thought, as it would be too time-consuming for him to rush back from Heaven Dou City. He instructed: "You should go to Soto City with Tang San when the time comes, and we'll meet up there."
As early as a month ago.
Yu Xiaogang had suggested that he, Xiaowu, and the others go to Shrek Academy.
It was also at that time that Ye Qiu and Xiaowu directly took a long leave to help Ye Qiu break through his cultivation. The various knowledge about spirit beasts in Xiaowu and Ah Yin's memories was already enough for Ye Qiu, completely eliminating the need to stay in the classroom and doze off.
"Then won't Sister Xiaowu not see you for a long time?" After hearing Ye Qiu's plan, Xiaowu's face fell, her eyes filled with reluctance. After complaining in a low voice, she also understood that nothing could be changed, so she could only earnestly say: "You're not allowed to forget me, Ye Qiu, okay?"
"How could I? You will only be mine... I won't let you run away!" Ye Qiu pinched Xiaowu's cheek, hugged her, and lay down.
"Mm."
Xiaowu responded softly, obediently lying on Ye Qiu, quietly listening to his heartbeat. They embraced each other, enjoying this moment of peace.
...
Soon it was lunchtime.
Ye Qiu suddenly felt his stomach was a little empty. Before he could tell Xiaowu to get up, Xiaowu wrapped her arms around Ye Qiu's neck, raised her head, and giggled.
"Are you hungry? I'll go get food right away..."
After speaking, Xiaowu quickly pecked Ye Qiu's mouth lightly, then like a startled rabbit, quickly got up and ran out.
Since the two of them took a long leave, Ye Qiu had almost never been to the cafeteria; Xiaowu always ran errands. Occasionally, when Xiaowu was in a bad mood, Ye Qiu would take her out for a meal to coax the little rabbit.
"Whew~"
Ye Qiu sat up and patted the Wishful Hundred Treasures Bag on his waist. A golden-blue light flew out from it and landed on the bed.
Looking at the Blue Silver Emperor, the smile on Ye Qiu's face grew wider. The Blue Silver Emperor was now almost a foot tall. The golden patterns were more distinct, having grown from a small seedling with less than ten years of cultivation to a spirit beast with nearly a hundred years of cultivation.
Its branches and leaves were full, tender, and lustrous.
Ye Qiu couldn't help but reach out and pluck them. They were smooth and fragrant.
Tang Hao, who came and went without a trace, had visited two months ago. Seeing the thriving Ah Yin, who was nourished by Ye Qiu to be tender and juicy, made him extremely happy. He directly said that Ye Qiu was taking good care of her and told Ye Qiu to work harder and take good care of his wife.
Tap tap!
A few footsteps sounded, shifting Ye Qiu's gaze towards the door.
Black hair, blue clothes, a string of gems wrapped around his waist.
Seeing him, Ye Qiu quickly grabbed the Blue Silver Emperor's branches and leaves with his hand, which immediately slightly liquefied. One person and one plant successfully connected.
"Ah Yin, your son is back... take a look."
As Ye Qiu transmitted his voice to Ah Yin, he also shared his vision and hearing with her.
Ah Yin, who was suffering in the darkness. Her expression brightened slightly when she heard Ye Qiu's voice, but after listening, her face turned cold again. When she saw Tang San outside, her eyes were filled with endless pain and hatred.
She couldn't help but cry out in a delicate voice.
"Ye Qiu... I've told you! I don't want to see him again! You're deliberately teasing me again!"
Ah Yin closed her eyes, but the scene was still clearly presented in her mind. She low-growled again.
"Quickly turn it off for me! Otherwise... you, you can forget about me serving you again, and you can forget about being comfortable!"
Ah Yin's voice at the end carried a hint of shyness and annoyance.
"Haha, I'm sorry. You used to look at him every day before, I got used to it."
Ye Qiu's face held a bright smile as he withdrew his hand.
Ah Yin's world plunged back into darkness. She didn't sense Ye Qiu's thoughts and didn't know if he did it on purpose or if he really forgot, but none of that mattered anymore.
Tang San, she, Ah Yin, was determined to kill him!
Tang Hao couldn't save him either!
