Reunited with Qian Renxue, Zi Ji Came Knocking at Midnight

Ye Hua unfolded the letter, and the familiar handwriting leaped onto the page, neat yet sharp.

The letter was simply worded.

I invited him to meet me at a restaurant on East Notting City at noon tomorrow, saying we had something to discuss.

Ye Hua chuckled after reading it, then folded the letter and put it away.

"I've missed you quite a bit, it's been two years."

"It's a pity I haven't seen Brother Xue in women's clothing yet. Hmm... I wonder if Brother Xue in women's clothing looks like Qian Renxue?"

The following day at noon, East Street, Notting City.

The restaurant is located in a secluded spot with low foot traffic, but its advantage lies in its quietness.

Ye Hua pushed open the door and entered. The innkeeper immediately greeted him with a beaming smile and led him to a private room on the second floor.

Pushing open the door, I saw [Xue Qinghe] sitting by the window, with warm wine and peanuts beside him, quite down-to-earth.

However, the fact that she has more feminine traits might be due to a physical development issue, which even the most skillful methods of concealment cannot hide!

"Hua Di," Qian Renxue said, her tone a mix of reproach and teasing, "You actually know how to come back?"

Ye Hua sat down opposite her, and without any ceremony, poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip, and then spoke.

"Brother Xue, what are you saying? Well, that's why I'm back."

"Yes," Qian Renxue, resting her chin on her hand, her eyes Youyou, "Finally back!"

"You have no idea how many letters I've sent to you! Every single one has disappeared without a trace!"

"I thought you were hiding in some obscure corner!"

Ye Hua chuckled, "I am the leader of the Long Night Alliance, how could I die so easily?"

"It's just that we're going out for training, and communication is inconvenient."

Seeing that Ye Hua was honest, Qian Renxue knew he wasn't lying and didn't press the matter further.

Ye Hua went along with it, without mentioning the Slaughter City.

Firstly, it's too troublesome to explain;

Secondly, Qian Renxue is a high-ranking member of the Spirit Hall.

If she finds out that he's also in the Slaughter City, it will bring out Hu Liena, who's also training there, and she won't be easy to fool.

Who knows, Bibi Dong might personally go to the Slaughter City to investigate for Hu Liena's sake, and then learn about his and Hu Liena's affair there...

In any case, it's not conducive to Hu Liena staying in the Crystal Palace for long!

It's better to avoid trouble!

"Alright, let's not talk about that," Qian Renxue waved her hand, picked up her wine glass again, "I have something else to ask you about today."

"Brother Xue, please speak."

"Xue Ke is graduating soon," Qian Renxue said seriously. "If you're willing, we can arrange to meet anytime."

Ye Hua paused, his hand holding the wine cup still, as the image of that little princess with graying white hair and a pure, shy demeanor flashed through his mind.

"I remember," he put down his chopsticks, "But I have a lot of things to do right now."

"The Soul Spirit System has just been rolled out, and the Long Night Alliance's arrangements are not yet in place, so I must stay in Notting City."

Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow. "So?"

"How about six months from now?" Ye Hua calculated the time. "Six months from now, after I've sorted out what I'm doing, I'll go see Princess Xue Ke. How about that?"

Qian Renxue nodded, "Alright, I'll talk to Father."

"Six months isn't a long time; it'll give Xue Ke some more time to prepare!"

As she spoke, she suddenly smiled meaningfully, "But I must warn you, Xue Ke, although she looks well-behaved, is actually quite wicked at heart!"

"If you really intend to marry her, you'd better be prepared to be manipulated by her!"

Wow, how fresh!

Am I being manipulated by girls?

I'm always the one who's in control!

Ye Hua became interested. "How so?"

"Ha," Qian Renxue smiled bitterly, "When she was little, she would run into my bedroom to set off firecrackers and pluck my father's beard. And when she grew up, she would..."

"You didn't kick his lower body off too, did you?" Ye Hua's eyes widened.

Qian Renxue choked, "It's not that bad."

"It's not broken, it's just that someone was hired to make him unable to get out of bed."

Ye Hua's lips twitched. "That's very naughty."

"Anyway," Qian Renxue, still shaken, "She's like a black sesame seed dumpling, so be careful, or you might get blown up in your bedroom!"

Ye Hua didn't take it to heart, "It's alright, they'll behave themselves after a few nights here."

Qian Renxue had no choice but to stop and cast a sympathetic look at him.

"Also, Wah-di, there's something I still need to say."

"You're riding too high right now. Whether it's the Long Night Alliance or the Soul Spirit System, they're all easy prey in other people's eyes."

"No one will dare to touch you openly, but there are definitely many who will try to trip you up behind the scenes, so you'd better be careful."

Ye Hua, holding his wine cup, said, "Don't worry, with the strength of the Long Night Alliance, no ambush could possibly harm me!"

Seeing his confidence, Qian Renxue felt relieved.

Seeing that several rounds of drinks had already been consumed, she didn't linger any longer.

"Fine," she stood up, "As long as you're confident."

"I'm going back first. Don't forget our six-month agreement!"

"I can't forget her." Ye Hua stood up to see her off.

It was still early when we returned to the Crystal Palace.

In the bedroom of the rear palace, Huo Wu was sitting cross-legged, clearly still adjusting to her Soul Spirit.

Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, but her breathing was steady, and she seemed to be doing relatively well.

Ye Hua walked over and sat down beside her. "How are you feeling?"

Huo Wu exhaled the turbid air, "Not bad, the Soul Power has basically merged, but I still don't know how to coordinate with it."

"That's from real combat experience," Ye Hua shrugged. "You just need to get used to it now."

Immediately, he took out a piece of Right Arm Soul Bone, which was entirely crimson and exuded a fiery aura, from the Azure Jade Bracelet and handed it to her.

"Here you go!"

Huo Wu froze, her gaze falling on the Spirit Bone, her pupils shrinking slightly. "This is... the Flame Right Arm of Explosive Burning? A prize from the tournament?"

"No, these are spoils of war from the Long Night Team, I have no right to take them!"

"Take it," Ye Hua waved his hand, "No one in the Long Night Team is a good fit; it'll just gather dust."

"Since you happen to be of the fire element, this will come in handy. Absorb it as soon as possible, and I'll Guardian you."

Huo Wu tried to refuse, but Ye Hua, without saying a word, stuffed the Spirit Bone into her arms.

She looked down at the Spirit Bone and pursed her lips.

The Long Night Alliance has been acquiring Spirit Bone, Ye Hua certainly doesn't lack them.

But this is a rare Spirit Bone that's 50,000 years old!

"Xiao Wu and the others all have them," Ye Hua said helplessly when he saw her still hesitating.

Hearing this, Huo Wu breathed a sigh of relief and began to absorb the nutrients.

The Spirit Bone merged into his body, a crimson light spread, and a scorching sensation erupted!

Huo Wu grunted and quickly channeled her Soul Power.

She subconsciously accelerated the flow of her Soul Power, trying to make the fusion process smoother.

After all, with the leader of the Long Night Alliance personally Guardian, she felt somewhat embarrassed.

But the moment his Soul Power began to circulate wildly, a familiar feeling of intense heat suddenly surged up!

Huo Wu's breathing suddenly became erratic.

That feeling... she remembered!

Back then, she was drugged by Ma Hongjun. After Ye Hua suppressed the drug's effects for her, she had to use her Soul Power to eliminate the remaining drug effects.

At that time, in order to avoid being affected by the drug and to participate in the competition normally, she desperately circulated her Soul Power, and that's what she felt!

My whole body is burning up, and my breathing is unsteady!

But now, that feeling is back!

At that time, she was still having erotic dreams about Ye Hua...

Huo Wu bit her lower lip, forcibly pulling her thoughts back, not daring to think any further.

Fortunately, she had become Soul Emperor and was also a seasoned cultivator, so she quickly stabilized her mind.

Just as Ye Hua was focused on Guardian Huo Wu, the door creaked open.

Ye Hua turned his head and saw Zi JI sneaking in quietly, her long purple hair swaying!

That delicate face practically screamed, "I'm here to cause trouble!"

"Zi JI?" Ye Hua asked, puzzled.

Without a word, Zi JI pounced on him from behind!

She wrapped her arms around Ye Hua's neck and whispered in his ear!

"Qilin," Zi JI deliberately leaned very close, "Why are you so busy taking care of others as soon as you got back, and haven't come to see me at all?"

After saying that, his hand continued to slide down restlessly.

"Hiss," Ye Hua gasped, "Zi JI, get down first."

"Huo Wu is still here, this is bad!"

"Hmph," Zi JI snorted, "It's only exciting in front of other girls!"

"Speaking of which, it's been so long since you've pampered me!"
