Brother Ye, You Bastard!

"Fine." Qian Renxue took out a map and handed it to Ye Yuan.

"The places Dugu Bo frequently appeared at are all marked on this map. Be careful."

Ye Yuan had not expected Qian Renxue to have even prepared a map.

He could roughly guess where Dugu Bo was now. It was nothing more than the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Dugu Bo was afflicted by severe poison and could only remain near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to ease it.

So unless something important came up, Dugu Bo was generally there.

However, Ye Yuan only knew that it was there; he did not know how to get there.

After all, the original novel had only mentioned that place and provided no map.

"Thank you, Teacher," Ye Yuan said.

"Mm."

Qian Renxue suddenly stepped forward, and Ye Yuan took a step back.

"Teacher, what are you—?" Qian Renxue walked up to Ye Yuan.

She clasped the back of his head with both hands, and the two kissed.

Qian Renxue's kiss was intense yet restrained.

Ye Yuan's eyes widened. Are you sure this should be happening?!

A few minutes later, Qian Renxue released Ye Yuan. As their lips parted, a thin strand appeared between them.

Qian Renxue saw it and stuck out her tongue to lick it away.

Then she revealed a satisfied expression. "Consider that a farewell kiss."

Ye Yuan said, "But this..." Qian Renxue covered his mouth with both hands.

"As long as you and I have no guilty conscience, that is enough."

No, sister, are you sure you have no guilty conscience?!

Qian Renxue turned and slowly left, leaving behind only her graceful silhouette.

So Ye Yuan had been teased again?

After a while, Ye Yuan curled his lips. "Whatever. What does a man like me have to fear?"

"Still, she really smelled wonderful."

For some reason, Ye Yuan felt that the more he looked at Qian Renxue, the more she resembled the female disciple he had accepted in his dreams.

He shook his head and said, "Forget it. I won't think about it anymore. As long as she isn't that yandere from my dreams."

Ye Yuan left the East Palace.

The moment he stepped outside, Ning Rongrong clung to him like a child. "Brother Ye, you finally came out."

"Hiss!" Ye Yuan cried out in pain.

"You little brat, why are you biting people?" Ye Yuan forcibly pulled Ning Rongrong away.

Looking down, he saw bright red tooth marks left on his shoulder by Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong grinned. "Who told you to leave me waiting outside for so long?"

She lowered her head and sniffed him. "Brother Ye, why do you smell like a woman?"

Ye Yuan panicked. "What nonsense are you talking about? Are you a dog or something?"

Why did he feel like he had been caught cheating? That made no sense.

Ning Rongrong put on a pitiful expression and said, "You already saw my body, yet you're fooling around with other women outside..."

Ye Yuan covered his forehead. He was truly helpless against this little devil.

"Stop messing around. I'm heading out on a long trip. Go report to Shrek by yourself."

"The registration date for the Shrek you mentioned is approaching. Don't be late."

Ning Rongrong looked up with an expectant expression. "Brother Ye, how about you come to Shrek with me?"

"With your strength, getting into Shrek would be effortless, wouldn't it?"

Ye Yuan lowered his head and considered it briefly.

He had the same idea. As long as he joined Shrek, he would have a chance to get close to Xiao Wu.

Tang San was still pretending to be innocent in front of Xiao Wu. As long as Ye Yuan got there first—

Then Xiao Wu... he would take her for himself.

After all, she meant three one-hundred-thousand-year soul rings. It would be a waste not to take them.

In any case, as long as he stayed by their side, he would have a chance to steal Tang San's opportunities.

So far, he had seized one opportunity: the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. With his Soul Tools, Ning Fengzhi would never take a liking to Tang San's hidden weapons.

This world still did not place much importance on Soul Tools, so when Ye Yuan had been in the Star Luo Empire, he had devoted himself to researching them.

And everything he researched had been Soul Tools for combat.

Given the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's efficiency, they might have already made them by now.

"Alright. Once I finish my business, I'll hurry over right away. I definitely won't delay. As long as registration is still open, they will have no reason to reject me."

Ning Rongrong nodded. "Mm, then I'll go first."

She suddenly rose onto her toes and kissed Ye Yuan on the lips.

Ye Yuan's pupils abruptly contracted. "Mm..."

Since it was Ning Rongrong, Ye Yuan was no longer as restrained as he had been in the East Palace. His right hand directly wrapped around the back of Ning Rongrong's neck as he fiercely returned the kiss.

Ning Rongrong's body suddenly trembled, but she neither dodged nor resisted. The blush on her face only grew more obvious.

Ning Rongrong had not expected Ye Yuan to be so intense. If they kept kissing, with dry wood meeting blazing fire, who knew what Ye Yuan would do.

She forcefully patted Ye Yuan's chest. "Mmph... let go..."

Only after Ye Yuan gave a hard squeeze with his left hand did he release Ning Rongrong in satisfaction.

"Phew... phew..."

"Brother Ye, are you trying to suffocate me?"

Ning Rongrong covered her chest and greedily gulped down fresh air.

"You bastard! Who told you to squeeze so hard?" Ning Rongrong stomped on Ye Yuan's foot.

Ye Yuan merely chuckled and did not argue.

"If you seduce your Brother Ye like this again, I'll make you cry."

Ning Rongrong's face reddened again. "Pervert!"

"Anyway, Rongrong already took Brother Ye's first kiss, so no one else can covet it."

With that, she jogged away.

Ye Yuan watched her retreating back. "I feel like I'm a scumbag."

"Pah. I just want to give girls a warm home."

Once Ning Rongrong completely disappeared from his sight, Ye Yuan immediately headed for Dugu Bo's location without stopping.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, main hall.

Ning Fengzhi held a Repeating Crossbow designed according to Ye Yuan's blueprints.

It had to be said that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was remarkably efficient.

They had only received the blueprints a few days ago, yet it had already been made.

"So this is the Soul Tool that brat Ye Yuan mentioned?" Chen Xin asked from beside him.

"That's right. This design is truly ingenious. I've never seen anything like it."

"This was the kind of thing we saw back in the Star Luo Empire."

Chen Xin could not help but doubt it. "It's so small and can hold very little Soul Power. How could it possibly achieve the effects you described?"

Ning Fengzhi said nothing. He merely told the guard beside him, "Release your Martial Soul and defend with all your strength."

"Yes, Sect Master." The man nodded.

Ning Fengzhi then said to Chen Xin, "Uncle Sword, I'll have to trouble you to watch from the side."

"If he fails to defend against it, please make sure he is not injured."

"Fine." However, in Chen Xin's view, he would have no chance to act at all.

The guard's Martial Soul was the Black Tortoise, with extremely strong defensive power, and his Soul Power was around rank forty.

Even a Soul Ancestor close to rank sixty might not necessarily be able to break his defense.

"Rest assured, Sect Master. My Martial Soul is the Black Tortoise. This thing cannot hurt me," the guard said.

Ning Fengzhi said no more. After all, one had to see something before believing it.

Ning Fengzhi raised the Repeating Crossbow, aimed it at the guard, and began channeling Soul Power.

The guard instantly circulated his Soul Power and released his Martial Soul.

A massive green phantom of the Black Tortoise appeared behind him.

Bang!

Chen Xin's sword suddenly flashed before the guard, blocking the crossbow bolts shooting toward him.

Six crossbow bolts fell to the ground.

What had happened? Only then did cold sweat emerge on the guard's forehead. He did not know what had happened.

He only knew that his defense had been broken in an instant, and a sense of danger had surged through him.

He had not seen what happened, but Sword Douluo Chen Xin had seen it clearly.

The instant Ning Fengzhi pulled the trigger, six crossbow bolts shot out at once and shattered the man's defense.

It had all happened in an instant. Although the guard had not exerted his full strength—

On a battlefield, however, could one constantly use all their strength to maintain their defense?

Obviously not!

Moreover, this Soul Tool had extremely low requirements for its user. Anyone with Soul Power could use it.

The blueprints Ye Yuan had provided even included many powerful Soul Tools that did not require Soul Power.

"This..."

Chen Xin had not believed it at first, but now he did.

Ning Fengzhi nodded, as though he had anticipated everything.

"Uncle Sword, please help me gather the elders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"Tell them I have something to announce."

Chen Xin's expression suddenly turned solemn. "Sect Master, could it be that you...?"

Ning Fengzhi shook his head and looked out the window.

"Uncle Sword, there is no other way. It is all for the sect."

"Great talent, Twin Martial Souls, the direct disciple of Spirit Hall's young mistress, and capable of crafting such powerful Soul Tools."

"Perhaps these Soul Tools are only a fraction of what Ye Yuan has in his mind."

"Spirit Hall's rise can no longer be stopped."

"Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect must make preparations early."

Ye Yuan spent an hour leaving Heaven Dou Imperial City and arrived outside Dugu Bo's herb garden.

A young girl stood outside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Blue hair, emerald eyes, snow-white skin, and long jade-like legs beneath her short skirt that made it impossible to look away.

The collar of her outfit dipped extremely low, making even Ye Yuan stare blankly for several seconds.
