Two Months of Gains

"Kid, do you really not need me to see you off? Don't go running to YanYan to complain again later." Dugu Bo stood with his hands behind his back, blowing his beard and glaring.

"There's no need to trouble you, Senior."

Ye Qiu politely declined.

He did not dare let Dugu Bo get too close. If that rat discovered them, things would get interesting. To keep Xiao Wu's identity from being exposed, that rat would probably kill the snake outright.

"Fine! But remember this, kid: you've seen my YanYan naked, touched her, and even nibbled on her. If you dare refuse to take responsibility, don't blame this old man for showing you no mercy!" Dugu Bo's expression turned cold. The Nine-Section Emerald on his shoulder hissed at Ye Qiu, flicking out its snake tongue.

"Rest assured, Senior. Since I signed that Marriage Certificate, I'll take responsibility to the end!" Ye Qiu was no Duan Zhengchun, and he could not bear to leave her either.

Having said that, Ye Qiu did not linger any longer. He waved at Dugu Bo, turned toward Notting City, and bid him farewell. "Senior, when you return, please give Sister YanYan my regards. This kid will be leaving first."

Dugu Bo watched Ye Qiu's departing figure gradually fade into the distance, a satisfied smile appearing on his face. It seemed that all his worries had been resolved by this kid.

The snake venom in his body had eased considerably, and his granddaughter's lifelong happiness had found its place as well.

Dugu Bo watched for a while before turning and flying away.

He also needed to return and properly study how the poison core within his body had formed, so that YanYan could follow the same method and no longer face the danger of her snake venom turning on its master.

As he walked along the road toward Notting City, Ye Qiu felt comfortable all over. The scorching sun in the sky could not make him sweat even a single drop, while the occasional breeze left him refreshed and clear-headed.

After consuming the Infernal Delicate Apricot and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Ye Qiu's body had become immune to both heat and cold. Even Venom no longer had its weakness of fearing high temperatures. Fire immunity and Ice Immunity were merely basic operations.

During these two months of vacation, Ye Qiu had spent a quarter of his time traveling. After entering the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, before Dugu Bo could torture him too badly, he had successfully entered the immortal herb password.

By a twist of fate, he had also had some ambiguous clashes with Dugu Bo's granddaughter, Dugu Yan. Then, under Ye Qiu's coaxing, she had been tightly wrapped around him. With their feelings so in sync, familiarity naturally grew quickly over time.

Compared to Xiao Wu, Dugu Yan's mature body often left Ye Qiu unable to stop his thoughts from wandering. Dugu Yan, too, would often feel her heart race at the wild, pounding, turbulent scenes in her mind. Several times, while she was properly purging poison, she had clamored about castrating Ye Qiu.

Yet when Ye Qiu jumped into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and vanished without news for several days, Dugu Bo said she had been extremely nervous and worried, unable to eat or sleep.

After Ye Qiu used his blood to detoxify Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan's attitude changed dramatically. Ye Qiu then began playing a push-and-pull game, until Dugu Bo could no longer stand watching and started getting crooked ideas. He nearly sent Ye Qiu straight into her room, but fortunately Ye Qiu pulled back from the brink. He merely knocked on the door from outside, only to be driven away by the hot water Dugu Yan splashed out.

Although he had knocked on her door, out of respect for Dugu Yan, Ye Qiu ultimately did not become her intimate guest. If their love endured, why would they need to be together day and night? Ye Qiu was in no rush.

However, because of that initial taste of intimacy, Dugu Bo would not let the matter go and insisted that Ye Qiu become his granddaughter's husband. Naturally, Ye Qiu was willing. He willingly let Dugu Bo force him into signing a Marriage Certificate with Dugu Yan, establishing them as an engaged couple.

Naturally, Ye Qiu was then coiled into the room by that Beauty Snake's tail, where he learned what soft fragrance and warm jade truly meant. He had nearly become lost in it. Anyone who had tried knew that a snake's softness was no worse than a rabbit's—slick, smooth, and cool to the touch. In one word: amazing! But even though things between him and Dugu Yan had become heated, Ye Qiu had not lost his reason. He had no intention of replicating Dugu Yan's soul skill. He already possessed a poison attribute himself; storing Dugu Yan's venom in his poison fangs was more than enough.

As for those immortal herbs, whether he recognized them or not, Ye Qiu had picked them all. He left only the roots and a few small seedlings behind, preventing waste while also ensuring they would not be stolen by certain troublesome youngsters.

Of course, now that he was about to become Dugu Bo's grandson-in-law, whether Tang San would still have the opportunity—or even be able to find the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well at all—remained a question.

During this vacation, Ye Qiu's cultivation had also advanced by leaps and bounds.

The power of the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass mainly tempered the body and granted immunity to all poisons. They barely improved cultivation at all. When he emerged naked from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he had only reached level thirty-three.

Afterward, Ye Qiu consumed the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, which enhanced spiritual power.

It did not increase cultivation, but consuming it could train fiery golden eyes capable of seeing through all strange things in every direction!

After refining it, Ye Qiu's Purple Demon Eyes, which he had obtained and barely cultivated for long, had just managed to break through to the third realm, the Mustard Seed Realm. His spiritual power surged dramatically, and Spider Sense became immensely stronger. With the two working together, even Qian Renxue's Angel's Roar could no longer make Venom fear in the slightest!

The trip to Sunset Forest left Ye Qiu dissatisfied with Venom, which seemed to have overcome its weaknesses to high temperatures and noise and become flawless! The experience of being rammed into a puddle of liquid by soul beasts and trampled beneath them made Ye Qiu realize that Venom's body was not actually all that stable. Heavy blows could easily make it fail at critical moments. Thus, Ye Qiu set his sights on the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

Consuming it could forge an indestructible vajra body!

It was only to make Venom harder, so it would not be so easily stabbed into and then pulled back out, or scattered apart by beasts crashing into it.

What? Immortal herbs could not be eaten in excess?

Ye Qiu, who had already eaten three, simply did not give a damn.

He quickly absorbed the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

The result did not disappoint Ye Qiu. Venom was still soft, but its resilience had increased drastically. Even if it fell from a great height, it would not splatter into a lump, and it could still vaguely retain a human shape.

After consuming the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Ye Qiu's cultivation rose five levels despite having just broken through to level thirty-three, reaching level thirty-eight. At only eleven years old, he could truly be called a peerless genius! It took Ye Qiu more than half an hour to finally stroll unsteadily to the gates of Notting City.

Ye Qiu did not head straight to Notting Academy. Instead, he made his way toward Spirit Hall. He had already gone to the Spirit Hall Holy Temple in Heaven Dou City and successfully settled his identity. If necessary, he could even report directly to Spirit City, but there was no need for that at the moment.

At Spirit Hall, Ye Qiu collected his hundred Gold Soul Coins for the month before slowly making his way toward Notting Academy. Along the way, he bought some food and stored it in his Storage Soul Tool.

As for Storage Soul Tools, ever since seeing Tang San's Twenty-Four Bridges on a Moonlit Night, Ye Qiu had always been terribly envious.

Now that he had Dugu Yan as his fiancée, she thoughtfully found several for Ye Qiu to choose from.

It had to be said that nothing made one rich faster than living off a woman!

The key was that this soft meal was truly big, soft, fragrant, slick, and long.

Ye Qiu could not help but let his thoughts drift.

Having gotten his hands on her before, he really couldn't forget it. Compared to the little rabbit, the more mature Beauty Snake was indeed clingy. Ye Qiu couldn't help reminiscing about the feel of Beauty Snake's hands—the slick sensation of her snake tail winding around him was truly unparalleled.

Whenever Dugu Yan clung to him, Ye Qiu would think that if he really did her, how many years would Dugu Yan be sentenced to?

Ye Qiu shook his head, temporarily clearing away those little thoughts. He couldn't lose himself in the comforts of beauty. Only by cultivating and growing stronger could he protect his own "family."

Before long.

Ye Qiu had arrived outside the Seventh Dorm.

Wishing everyone a happy life!
