I Can Make You a Soul Master

Beneath the warm sun, Ye Qiu held the flower and urged her gently, "Haha~ Sister Yun'er, come to the room with me."

As his words fell,

he turned to enter the house, his face full of anticipation.

"Mm! I'll be right there."

Su Yun'er answered shyly, hurriedly set down the winnowing basket in her hands, opened the little gate in the fence, and hurried after him with quick, small steps.

She walked shoulder to shoulder with Ye Qiu,

her fair, slender hands rubbing against her skirt again and again.

Only when Su Yun'er felt she had tidied herself up did she shyly look at the young man beside her. She raised a hand to smooth the hair by her ear and asked softly:

"Xiao Qiu~ why are you back so soon?"

"I've finished taking care of things, so of course I came back to spend some quality time with Sister Yun'er."

Smiling, Ye Qiu raised a hand to Su Yun'er's slender waist and drew her into his arms as they walked into the house together.

"Huh? Did you move it yourself, Sister Yun'er?"

Ye Qiu glanced at the dining table, which was back in the middle of the room, and spoke with some surprise.

"Mm~ the table was pretty light."

Su Yun'er replied softly, though her pretty face had already turned bright red.

Whenever she sat by the table,

she couldn't help recalling the pressure and impact she had experienced on it at noon yesterday, which had nearly suffocated her...

"Hehe~ I accidentally forgot about it at the time."

Ye Qiu explained with a mischievous chuckle.

"It's all right. If Xiao Qiu likes, you can put it in the corner..."

Leaning against his chest, Su Yun'er lowered her eyes and spoke in a quiet voice.

"Haha... there's no need for that. The table is for eating at, after all."

Ye Qiu laughed and shook his head.

He hadn't let pleasure sap his will; some things were fine to indulge in occasionally.

"Mm, whatever Xiao Qiu says~"

Su Yun'er nodded obediently.

Soon,

Ye Qiu took Su Yun'er by her little hand and led her into the bedroom.

Su Yun'er's face grew redder and redder as she let Ye Qiu lead her to sit on the bed. Only then did she come to her senses and look at him, asking, "Xiao Qiu, what did we come to the room for?"

"Hmm?"

Ye Qiu sat beside Su Yun'er and looked at her flushed cheeks,

an amused expression immediately appearing on his face.

Ye Qiu set down the Lovesick Heartbreak Red in his hand and slowly drew Su Yun'er's soft, burning body into his arms.

"Mm, ah~"

Su Yun'er immediately let out a delicate moan.

Ye Qiu's lips brushed the tip of her fair ear as he asked teasingly, "What does Sister Yun'er think I brought you into the bedroom for?"

"Mm... I, I don't know."

Su Yun'er shook her head repeatedly. Her face and ears bright red, she took his hand in hers and said, "But whatever Xiao Qiu wants to do, I'm willing to go along with it..."

"Haha~"

Seeing this, Ye Tian held Su Yun'er's delicate body and laughed heartily.

"Sister Yun'er, you've misunderstood!"

"I didn't bring you into the bedroom today to bully you!"

"Misunderstood?"

Su Yun'er raised her head in confusion and looked at the wicked grin on Ye Qiu's face.

Only then did she realize that Xiao Qiu had been teasing her.

"Xiao Qiu~ you're so bad!"

Blushing, Su Yun'er bit her pink lip and chided him coquettishly.

"Haha... who told Sister Yun'er to be so easily embarrassed?"

Ye Qiu cupped Su Yun'er's burning cheeks and stared straight into her beautiful eyes, clear and limpid as ice crystals. Tinged with pink from her shyness, they were utterly enchanting.

Su Yun'er's gaze was evasive, her eyes betraying her insecurity.

In her view,

her eyes were an ominous sign, her greatest flaw.

Su Yun'er said softly:

"Xiao Qiu~ don't look at me like that."

"Why? Sister Yun'er's eyes are prettiest when you're shy."

Ye Qiu praised her sincerely in a gentle voice:

"Especially yesterday at noon... it's a shame Sister Yun'er kept closing her eyes..."

"Don't say any more~ Xiao Qiu."

Overcome with shyness, Su Yun'er hurriedly raised a hand to cover Ye Qiu's mouth.

Her face and neck were bright red.

The person she loved most was praising her body's greatest flaw like this...

Su Yun'er felt both delighted and embarrassed. Lowering her head, she said in a voice like a sob, "Xiao Qiu, you should tell me the important thing first. Don't tease me anymore..."

Smiling, Ye Qiu took the delicate hand by his lips.

"All right, let's talk about the important thing first. We can do the other things later, but when we do, Sister Yun'er, you mustn't keep closing your eyes, all right?"

As his words fell,

Ye Qiu looked at the lovely woman before him, who resembled an ostrich, and waited for her answer.

"Mm~ I'll try."

Su Yun'er answered in a voice barely louder than a mosquito.

Usually, when others stared at her eyes, she felt inferior.

But when Xiao Qiu stared at her in everyday life, she felt unbearably embarrassed and couldn't help replaying her expressions and movements at that moment in her mind...

"Haha! Good!"

Ye Qiu smiled in satisfaction. Only then did he pick up the Lovesick Heartbreak Red beside him and hold it out to Su Yun'er, smiling as he said:

"Sister Yun'er, I brought you in here to give you this Immortal Herb."

"What is an Immortal Herb?"

"Simply put, it's a medicinal herb with rather miraculous and powerful effects."

"I see."

Surprise filled Su Yun'er's eyes. She had thought it was just an ordinary flower.

"Thank you, Xiao Qiu~ I love it~"

Su Yun'er smiled sweetly, her face full of happiness as she accepted the little white flower, which looked as though it had been stained with blood, from Ye Qiu.

Apart from her father, Xiao Qiu was the only person who had ever given her flowers.

"Huh? How strange..."

Su Yun'er stroked the flower in her arms. When she noticed the pitch-black Black Severing Stone, she looked up at once and asked in puzzlement:

"Xiao Qiu, why is this flower growing on a stone?"

"Haha... because Sister Yun'er hasn't heard my whole explanation yet."

Ye Qiu couldn't help laughing. Gazing at Su Yun'er with eyes full of affection, he said proudly, "Aren't you curious just how miraculous it is, Sister Yun'er?"

"Hmm?"

Su Yun'er was visibly taken aback.

She was just an ordinary person who had never even left Peach Blossom Village. She had no idea what Ye Qiu meant by miraculous, so naturally she didn't think much of it.

To her, there wasn't much difference between a flower and a medicinal herb.

As long as it came from Ye Qiu, she liked it and would accept it with great joy, doing her best not to miss a single bit.

"Sister Yun'er~"

Ye Qiu raised a hand and wrapped his arm around Su Yun'er's shoulders. He kissed her gently by the ear and said softly, "Do you remember how I told you some time ago that I would make you a Soul Master too?"

"Of course I remember..."

Su Yun'er nodded, but a growing sense of shock rose in her heart,

and she looked at the little white flower in her arms in disbelief.

Ye Qiu continued, "This Immortal Herb can do it. As long as you take it, Sister Yun'er, you can gain at least ten levels of Soul Power!"

"!!!"

Su Yun'er's eyes widened.

Even though she had already had a premonition, when she actually heard Ye Qiu's words, she still couldn't help raising her head to look at him in disbelief.

What had been a perfectly ordinary gift suddenly felt heavy...

Su Yun'er's heart trembled and pounded wildly.

She stared straight at Ye Qiu, unable to look away or speak.

"Sister Yun'er, everything I said is true!"

Ye Qiu met Su Yun'er's eyes and spoke with utmost solemnity.

As his words fell,

the warmth in Su Yun'er's heart burst forth, turning into a pool of spring water in her glass-like eyes, filled with tenderness and affection.

Gazing at Ye Qiu, she gave him a sweet smile.

Her smile was radiant and warm, sweet and intoxicating.

She had never doubted Ye Qiu's words.

"Xiao Qiu~ I believe you..."

As she spoke, Su Yun'er gently shook her head and returned the Lovesick Heartbreak Red to Ye Qiu's arms. Smiling with a face full of tenderness, she said:

"This gift is wonderful, and I love it~ really, but I can't accept it."
