Dugu Yan, who was playing with the Blue Silver Emperor, saw Ye Qiu and hurried towards him.
"Xiao Qiu~ Come and eat quickly, I've kept it warm for you."
Dugu Yan hugged Ye Qiu's arm, her face full of smiles.
Half a year of separation had not diminished her affection for Ye Qiu at all; instead, it had made their relationship even stronger. As the saying goes, a short separation makes the heart grow fonder.
Ye Qiu smiled and leaned his head on Dugu Yan.
"Mm, Sister Yan Yan is so good."
"Of course."
Dugu Yan smiled like a flower and even took a moment to glare at Dugu Bo, who had spoken harshly just now.
Dugu Bo's face darkened. The pain in his heart was unspeakable to outsiders.
He might as well not eat this meal!
Anyway, he had eaten almost enough, so he wouldn't be an eyesore here. He stood up and said solemnly, "Boy, what is the specific age of the soul beast you are targeting?"
Ye Qiu sat down leaning on Dugu Yan and thought for a moment.
"Senior, what do you think of fifteen thousand years?"
"Fifteen thousand years?! Won't that be too risky?" Dugu Bo frowned.
Although Ye Qiu's physique was indeed far superior to that of a Soul King, the absorption limit for a Soul King was twelve thousand years, and a Soul Emperor was only twenty thousand years.
"Senior, don't worry, I'm confident."
Ye Qiu's face was full of seriousness. This was also the result of his careful consideration. With the additional boost from the Strange Velvet Sky Silkworm Chrysanthemum, he didn't want to waste it!
Seeing that Dugu Yan had no objection, Dugu Bo didn't say much more.
"Alright then, this old man will go and catch one for you right now!"
"Then I thank you, Senior."
Amidst Ye Qiu's thanks, Dugu Bo turned and left.
"Xiao Qiu, you must be careful."
Dugu Yan handed the bowl in her hand to Ye Qiu. Even though Ye Qiu had given her a lot to do last night, she still had some worries.
Ye Qiu didn't say anything, just gave her a confident smile and nodded with a serious face.
After the meal.
Dugu Yan went to clean up the dishes, while Ye Qiu started to mess with Ah Yin.
In the darkness, a beam of light fell, enveloping her and making Ah Yin feel a little warmth.
Along with it came Ye Qiu's clear voice.
"Ah Yin, I will plant you next to the Eye of Ice and Fire later. Even without my assistance, you will be able to grow rapidly then."
"Mm, I understand..."
Ah Yin was stunned for a moment and nodded blankly. She looked through Ye Qiu's recent memories. Her face was flushed and her delicate eyebrows were slightly furrowed. She was vaguely a little jealous, and at the same time, she couldn't help but worry about Ye Qiu.
But even that woman named Dugu Yan couldn't stop Ye Qiu, so she was even more powerless to dissuade him.
Outside.
Ye Qiu pinched a leaf of Ah Yin and noticed her worry for him. A smile appeared on his face.
It seems this grass can indeed be tamed.
Without thinking too much, three soul rings circled, and Ye Qiu immediately turned into a black tide, covering Ah Yin's entire body.
The space around Ah Yin suddenly became bright, a vibrant green.
"I didn't expect you to worry about me..."
Ye Qiu's voice suddenly sounded in her ear, and her waist tightened.
Ah Yin was already held in Ye Qiu's arms.
"Ye Qiu! You, you let go of me quickly... Let go!"
Ah Yin reacted. Her snow-white neck was covered with a blush of blood. Ye Qiu's aura kept coming. Her plump and beautiful body constantly changed positions.
While Ye Qiu felt great pleasure in his heart, he didn't go too far and gently let go of her.
Ah Yin immediately ran away, distancing herself from Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu shrugged helplessly.
"Why are you so nervous? I won't force you to do anything..."
"Hmph! Who told you to always think..."
Ah Yin's face was crimson, and she didn't dare to look at Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu hooked the corner of his mouth. A sofa appeared in the green space, and he sat down directly, saying with a light smile, "Ah Yin, do you want to help me?"
Ah Yin's beautiful face was flushed, and she bit her lip, looking down submissively.
No matter how much Ah Yin denied it, Ye Qiu understood her thoughts perfectly.
Looking at Ye Qiu sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, Ah Yin snorted, "So what?"
Then she became a little mournful and looked down, saying:
"But I'm just a blade of grass. I can't do anything."
"Who says you can't help me!"
The corner of Ye Qiu's mouth curved into a mischievous and playful smile. Looking at Ah Yin's luscious red lips, an idea formed in his mind.
Hearing this, Ah Yin looked at Ye Qiu strangely.
After receiving Ye Qiu's improper thoughts, her delicate body trembled slightly, her face immediately turned red, and she was filled with shame and anger.
"Ye Qiu! You, you're not allowed to think nonsense!"
"How, how could that kind of thing help you?!"
Ah Yin looked at the young man in front of her and couldn't help but take two steps back. She pursed her red lips, and her eyes held a hint of wariness.
Ye Qiu was used to Ah Yin being able to read his mind.
But he had to let Ah Yin know.
Even if she shouted no, she couldn't stop his approaching steps.
Ye Qiu stood up and walked towards Ah Yin.
He said seriously:
"Of course it's useful. Kissing can be considered a blessing, and it brings good luck, especially..."
"...a kiss from a beautiful woman."
Ah Yin furrowed her delicate eyebrows, and her apricot eyes became serious.
She snapped, "Nonsense! I've never heard of such a thing... Even, even if it's true, you can go find that girl outside. She's your fiancée."
"Collecting more blessings will naturally increase the success rate. I won't miss Sister Yan Yan's side."
Ye Qiu smiled lightly and continued to approach Ah Yin.
"You're lewd..."
"You stand still! Don't come over!"
Ah Yin's expression was flustered, and she kept retreating, trying to stop Ye Qiu's actions.
"Ying~ No!"
Ye Qiu didn't listen to her.
He directly pushed Ah Yin to the edge of this space, facing her, heart to heart, pressing tightly together.
"Please~ Don't..."
Ah Yin trembled and turned her head sideways, not daring to look at Ye Qiu, nor daring to twist her body rashly.
Ye Qiu was pressing her so tightly that she could barely breathe.
She was afraid that Ye Qiu would become a beast and immediately deal with her, who was still very weak at the moment.
Ye Qiu cornered Ah Yin against the wall and quietly looked at the beautiful young woman in front of him, her face flushed with shame and panic. He couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
He liked seeing shy married women more and more.
Ah Yin's various emotions in her heart could not escape his detection.
Shyness, anger, and it seemed there was even a little... excitement?!
Hmm?
Ye Qiu raised his eyebrows.
Excitement?
What kind of strange attribute is this?
Is it too stimulating?
"Ye Qiu, quickly let go of me... I am..."
Ah Yin resisted the hot aura that came towards her and covered her whole body, crying and pleading constantly.
However, Ye Qiu interrupted her plea.
He stared at her deeply and said wistfully:
"Ah Yin, what do you think would happen if I failed?"
Hearing this.
Ah Yin was also stunned.
She turned her head and looked at Ye Qiu blankly, her face like a peach blossom, her eyes dodging and then looking away again.
Ah Yin naturally understood.
If Ye Qiu failed to absorb the ten-thousand-year soul ring, he would die!
