Ning Rongrong's disappointment

At this moment, Tang San was naturally unaware of all this. After Ye Qinghe finished administering acupuncture to restore his mobility, he didn't even say thank you. At the same time, disregarding his physical weakness, he rushed into the storeroom to take care of Xiao Wu.

"What an ungrateful wretch!"

Zhu Zhuqing witnessed all of this and stood beside Ye Qinghe, muttering a curse under her breath.

"Consider it a bone thrown to these stray dogs. Alright, let's go." Ye Qinghe put his arm around Zhu Zhuqing's waist and turned to leave.

From beginning to end, no one tried to stop Shrek from staying.

All that remained was humiliation.

They've all been compared to stray dogs.

How can they still be grateful to each other?

Of course, even if Ye Qinghe hadn't scolded them, they wouldn't have been grateful.

After all, it's Shrek.

You should treat me well, it's your duty, it's your right. But if you ever stop treating me that well, then you deserve to die, you have a reason to die.

Speaking of which, this "fine tradition" was actually passed down by Tang Sanyu and his apprentice Xiaogang.

However, the original Shrek wasn't exactly a good thing either.

"Dean, what do we do next?" Ma Hongjun looked at Flender. Although their injuries had healed, none of them were happy.

Flender sighed, feeling quite frustrated. "Let's go back to the academy first."

"Then, Dean, when are you going to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?" Qin Ming genuinely believed that the relationship between Ye Qinghe and Shrek had improved, and asked with anticipation.

To be honest, Flender didn't want to leave Shrek.

But seeing Yu Xiaogang's unwavering stance, he could only helplessly say, "Shrek Academy still needs a handover, and I also need to take care of this shop. I'll go after I've finished here."

Seeing that Flender had finally made up his mind, Qin Ming smiled excitedly, "Dean, then I'll be waiting for you at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

After Qin Ming left, the Shrek members didn't stay long either, and Xiao Wu woke up at that moment.

After tidying up briefly, Flender closed the shop and, along with the others, headed towards the Shrek Academy.

As they left Suotuo City, Ye Qinghe and Zhu Zhuqing had already returned to the Suotuo City Grand Hotel and were seeing Bibi Dong off at the entrance.

"Zhu Zhuqing, now that you've chosen to be with Xiao Ye, you must treat her well and not be fickle." Bibi Dong looked at Zhu Zhuqing.

Although Bibi Dong's tone was calm, it put immense pressure on Zhu Zhuqing. She nodded emphatically, "Don't worry, Sister Dong'er. Since I've decided to be with Qinghe, I will put him first in everything."

Bibi Dong nodded slowly, her gaze turning to Ye Qinghe. Her previously serious expression softened instantly, becoming tender and gentle. "Little Ye..."

"There's no need to say anything more..." Ye Qinghe interrupted Bibi Dong, pulling her into his arms. "I understand everything."

"No, what I meant was..." Bibi Dong's expression suddenly turned serious. She leaned close to Ye Qinghe's ear, her voice both passionate and threatening, and said in a low, gloomy tone, "If you dare to do anything inappropriate with Dugu Yan, Zhu Zhuqing, or any other woman before me, I will definitely make you the second Dai Mubai."

"Uh--" Ye Qinghe's pupils contracted, only then remembering that Bibi Dong also had a yandere attribute.

At this moment, Ling Yuan approached. "Your Highness, it's time for us to depart."

Bibi Dong released Ye Qinghe, regaining her previous gentle demeanor. "Little Ye, I'm leaving now. I'll come find you whenever I have time. Please don't break our promise."

After saying this, she tiptoed and kissed Ye Qinghe on the cheek before leaving with Ling Yuan.

Zhu Zhuqing walked to Ye Qinghe's side and said, "Qinghe, are you alright? Sister Dong'er was so scary just now..."

"No, it's nothing..." Ye Qinghe also felt a chill run down his spine.

After watching Bibi Dong and Ling Yuan leave.

Ye Qinghe and Zhu Zhuqing were about to return to the hotel when Dugu Yan returned, arm in arm with Ye Lingling. They were carrying many bags and packages, but they didn't use any Soul Tool to carry them, showing that they had a great time shopping today.

"Xiao Ye, Zhu Zhuqing, what are you doing here? Did that woman Ye Dong'er leave? Good thing she's gone, good thing she's gone... Come, come, I brought you gifts. Zhu Zhuqing, this is a pearl necklace I bought for you... Xiao Ye, this is for you..."

Ye Qinghe and Zhu Zhuqing accepted Dugu Yan's gift, and Zhu Zhuqing expressed her gratitude.

Ye Qinghe, "Now that you're back, come inside with me. Lingling, could you please inform the others to gather in my room tonight? Yanzi, come here first, I have something to say to you and Zhu Zhuqing."

Ye Lingling nodded after hearing this and was about to leave. Dugu Yan stopped her and hesitated before saying to Ye Qinghe, "Little Ye, can I ask you for a favor?"

Ye Qinghe glanced at Ye Lingling and had a general idea in his mind. However, seeing that she also looked blank, he figured that Ye Lingling herself didn't know about this. It was Dugu Yan's own decision. After all, they had spent several Ye Lingling together, eating and Dugu Yan almost the same way. Even the room they booked at the Suotuo City Grand Hotel was a super king-size double room. They were already like sisters.

"Let's talk in my room," Ye Qinghe.

A moment later, the group of four arrived at Ye Qinghe's room. Dugu Yan immediately began to talk about Ye Lingling's background. The Nine Heart Begonia is Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul that can only be possessed by one person per generation, with a maximum of two people possessing it at the same time.

In other words, before Ye Lingling awakens her Martial Soul, one of her father's or grandfather's generation must die in order to preserve the family's heritage.

Although Ye Qinghe didn't know what was so special about preserving a legacy that came at the cost of sacrificing loved ones, this was Ye Lingling's destiny.

After hearing all this, not only Ye Qinghe, but also Ye Lingling and Zhu Zhuqing understood what Dugu Yan wanted to ask for.

Ye Lingling knew that Dugu Yan and Ye Qinghe's Martial Soul had evolved, and her eyes lit up noticeably. At the same time, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy and nervous.

After all, they were just teammates, and her relationship with Ye Qinghe was limited to nodding acquaintances.

Ye Qinghe sighed and looked at Dugu Yan, saying, "Yanzi, you are my woman. Logically speaking, I will agree to whatever you ask. But do you know that once I solve Lingling's Martial Soul problem, our descendants will very likely lose an opportunity for Martial Soul Evolution?"

"I know. But Lingling..." Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan was at a loss for what to do. After all, no matter how good the relationship or how close the sisters were, they could never compare to family.

Ye Lingling's gaze also dimmed, and she regained her former lonely and desolate appearance, but she did not complain.

After all, Ye Qinghe had no obligation to help her.

But Ye Qinghe's next words gave her hope again. "Lingling, I can help you, but you, or rather your family, must pay the corresponding price."
