Seizing the Spawn Point!

"Xiao Qiu~"

Su Yun'er's voice was still a little hoarse. Her icy, alluring eyes, touched with a hint of mature charm, held a trace of timidity as she looked at Ye Qiu.

"Sister Yun'er, are you all right now?"

Refreshed and invigorated, Ye Qiu went straight to the bedside and sat down, taking Su Yun'er's delicate hand.

"I-I'm all right."

Su Yun'er squeezed his hand and shook her head gently.

As an ordinary woman,

she had experienced a Soul Master's formidable combat prowess firsthand on her very first time!

Even though she had clenched her teeth, faced with his absolute strength, she still couldn't stop trembling and had been so frightened that she wet herself.

"Haha~ I'm glad you're all right."

Ye Qiu bent down tenderly and helped Su Yun'er sit up.

"..."

Su Yun'er pressed her red lips together, her face rosy as a peach blossom. Clutching the thin blanket over her delicate body, she glimpsed the marks on her shoulders and above, then leaned against Ye Qiu's chest, her face full of sweetness.

Ye Qiu let Su Yun'er nestle against him as he smoothed the tousled strands of hair beside her ear. "Sister Yun'er," he said softly, "in a couple of days, I'll be leaving the village to make my way in the outside world."

"Mm~"

Su Yun'er had expected this. She nodded slightly and embraced Ye Qiu, reminding him, "Don't push yourself when you're away from home. Be careful in everything you do."

"Don't worry, Sister Yun'er. I know my limits. Look, what's this?"

Ye Qiu smiled and nodded, then casually took a large bowl of red ginseng chicken soup from the Kamui Dimension and held it out to Su Yun'er.

"I just found time to go to Nuoding City and buy it. It's still hot! You don't need to worry about me, Sister Yun'er. Even if I'm a thousand miles away, with mountains of blades and seas of fire in my path, I can come back to sleep with you whenever I want."

"..."

Hearing this, Su Yun'er was naturally delighted, but a deep flush spread across her face. Too bashful to know what to say, she gave Ye Qiu a coquettish glance.

"Xiao Qiu~ why do you get more and more shameless as you grow up?"

"Hehe~"

Ye Qiu grinned smugly and brought the chicken soup to Su Yun'er's lips.

"Sister Yun'er, have a taste while it's hot."

"Mm~"

Su Yun'er nodded. Looking at the blood ginseng soaking in the chicken soup, she couldn't help recalling... the scene of her kneeling on the stone platform... Embarrassed, she parted her lips and took a small sip.

"Is it good, Sister Yun'er?"

"Mm, it's delicious~"

"Then have some more. You must have been exhausted yesterday. The medicinal ingredients in this chicken soup nourish your blood and Qi and make your skin beautiful."

Ye Qiu understood how much effort Su Yun'er had put in.

After all, he had come from an era when everyone was repressed. In this life, he had been fortunate enough to win a beauty's hand, so he had naturally been a little excited, to the point that he couldn't pull himself away and had gone a little too far.

"Mm~"

Su Yun'er's face was full of docility. She raised her eyes to Ye Qiu and reminded him again:

"Xiao Qiu, when you're away, just focus on what you need to do. You don't have to let me distract you. I know... I'm not worthy of you..."

"As long as you remember me, that's enough."

Su Yun'er looked at Ye Qiu, her eyes brimming with love and affection. She knew her own worth well enough.

She knew that an ordinary person like her might become a burden to Xiao Qiu. All she could do was try not to cause him trouble.

Ye Qiu frowned at her words.

"Sister Yun'er, what nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean you're not worthy? Didn't we just get matched up?"

"Xiao Qiu~!"

Su Yun'er looked at Ye Qiu, utterly mortified, her eyes filled with shock and bewilderment...

Had she pushed Xiao Qiu too hard and taught him bad habits? Otherwise, why would he suddenly start saying whatever came into his head when he'd been perfectly fine before?

How was she supposed to answer that?

Ye Qiu's words were crude, but there was not a trace of frivolity on his face. He said solemnly, "Sister Yun'er, don't look at me like that. We're family, husband and wife. There's nothing we can't say to each other. If you say things like that again, I really will get angry!"

"..."

Seeing Ye Qiu act so domineering, Su Yun'er felt a warm current well up in her heart. A happy smile bloomed on her face, and tears glimmered in her glasslike eyes, as though they had been washed clean.

"I understand, Xiao Qiu~ I won't say it again."

"Sister Yun'er, don't cry~"

Ye Qiu hurriedly set down the chicken soup and wiped away Su Yun'er's tears.

"I've never looked down on you."

"Besides, Sister Yun'er, you just don't have Soul Power for now."

Ye Qiu wrapped an arm around Su Yun'er's shoulders and promised earnestly, "Please believe me, Sister Yun'er. Soon, I'll make you a Soul Master too, so you can stay by my side for the rest of your life!"

"No~"

Su Yun'er shook her head gently, taking Ye Qiu's words as an attempt to comfort her.

"Xiao Qiu, it doesn't matter to me whether I'm a Soul Master. What matters is that you're safe. As long as you remember me, that's enough..."

"Sister Yun'er, just wait and see!"

Ye Qiu spoke with absolute conviction, his eyes full of determination.

He believed that Immortal Herbs could definitely give Sister Yun'er Soul Power too!

They could also let him easily surpass Tang San!

Sunset Forest

was his next stop!

With Dual Kamui, where in this world couldn't he go?

Even Dugu Bo couldn't do anything to him!

As for knowledge of Immortal Herbs,

Ye Qiu truly didn't know much, but he remembered which Immortal Herbs Tang San and the others had used in the book. He believed he could more or less tell them apart.

"Sister Yun'er, let's not talk about this for now. Drink the soup while it's hot."

Ye Qiu set those thoughts aside and spoke softly.

"Mm~"

Su Yun'er nodded obediently.

Before long, the large bowl of chicken soup was empty.

Ye Qiu fetched some ointment and applied it to Su Yun'er's knees.

The stone platform in the Kamui Dimension was simply too hard,

and Su Yun'er had knelt there for so long that her knees were bruised and scraped raw.

"..."

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

As planned, Ye Qiu crawled out of Su Yun'er's tender embrace.

Taking nothing with him but Su Yun'er's heart, and leaving behind a little rich vitality, he quietly departed Peach Blossom Village.

Ye Qiu returned to Nuoding City, bought a fine horse, and set off on his journey alone.

He had originally planned to start nearby,

finding Holy Soul Village first and searching the surrounding area for the Blue Silver Emperor.

But at this point in time,

Tang San was still enjoying his vacation in Holy Soul Village, and Tang Hao was also very likely nearby.

Naturally, Ye Qiu didn't want to stir the grass and alert the snake just yet.

He might as well go to Sunset Forest first, find the Immortal Herbs, and improve his strength before anything else.

By then,

his strength would at least be at the Soul Elder level!

The Hokage Selection System would also trigger twice in succession when he broke through to level twenty and level thirty!

When the time came,

searching for the Blue Silver Emperor would be easier and more leisurely too.

Ye Qiu had thought it through very clearly. He and Tang San seemed to have had only a minor clash, but once he defeated Tang San at Shrek Academy, there was no telling how things would turn out!

Besides, Ye Qiu had already made up his mind to take revenge on Tang San and Xiao Wu...

So he and Tang San were bound to be as irreconcilable as fire and water!

There was no need for Ye Qiu to hold back. He aimed his spearhead straight at the Blue Silver Emperor!

He would seize Tang San's spawn point!
