Beauty and a Blemish on His Old Age

"I-it should be level twenty."

Su Yun'er lay beneath Ye Qiu, her voice soft and sweet.

Pressed against his firm, burning body, her eyes had turned watery.

Her body clearly hadn't recovered yet. Who told Ye Qiu to be so wild? Last time, they had fooled around on the dining table. This time, he had ridden her right under the peach tree, making it hard for her to forget even if she wanted to.

"Level twenty? Just as I thought... the Lovesick Heartbreak Red really is worthy of being called the king of immortal treasures!"

Ye Qiu exclaimed in admiration. He buried his face against Su Yun'er and breathed in her milky fragrance, then said with a smile, "My Sister Yun'er will be a Soul Grandmaster in no time!"

"Mmm~"

Su Yun'er pressed her red lips together and held Ye Qiu's head, both shy and enjoying herself. Her eyes were full of tenderness, but also a trace of regret.

"If only Xiao Qiu could have taken it..."

Su Yun'er murmured.

Of course she was happy to have become a Soul Master.

But the Immortal Herb was so precious that Su Yun'er couldn't help feeling it had been somewhat wasted on her.

Ye Qiu raised his head and corrected her. "Sister Yun'er, Immortal Herbs aren't something just anyone can take. Besides, I've already taken five of them. How else could I have broken through to Soul Elder so quickly?"

"Is that so..."

Understanding dawned on Su Yun'er, and she nodded.

"Of course. Don't feel bad about it anymore, Sister Yun'er. This is what you deserve, and you're worth doing this for."

As he spoke, Ye Qiu leaned close to Su Yun'er and gently captured her lips.

"Mmm~"

Su Yun'er slowly closed her eyes, her long lashes fluttering twice. Her lips parted and met his again and again, their fragrant breaths mingling as she returned Ye Qiu's kiss.

Ye Qiu quietly raised his head, but in the end, he was considerate of Su Yun'er.

He only had a little taste,

and went no further.

Ye Qiu lay atop Su Yun'er, gazing at her rosy, lovely face. He glanced at her tender red lips as they parted and closed, then said with a bold swagger, "Sister Yun'er, if you say something like that again, I'll have to treat you to something good."

"?!"

Su Yun'er was already flushed to the ears. Hearing that made her heart tremble, and she couldn't help swallowing before saying shyly:

"Xiao Qiu~ y-you're so naughty!"

"Even if I didn't say it, when have I ever refused you when you wanted it?"

Ye Qiu couldn't help laughing. "Haha~ How else could I get Sister Yun'er to shut her mouth? I can only put it to good use."

"..."

Su Yun'er gave him a bashful glare, but said nothing more.

Taking it could nourish her complexion and enhance her beauty...

That was what Ye Qiu had told her himself when he had once asked her to swallow it.

She didn't know whether it was true,

but she had never refused Ye Qiu.

So she didn't want to argue anymore.

To her, as long as Xiao Qiu wanted it, he could ask anything of her.

Ye Qiu rolled off Su Yun'er and lay beside her. He squeezed her delicate hand, looked at her profile, and said softly, "All right, Sister Yun'er, it's late. I'll send you home to rest first. Thank you for all your hard work today."

"Mmm~"

Su Yun'er nodded slightly.

She really was exhausted today, after watering the peach trees so much.

"What about you, Xiao Qiu?"

Su Yun'er looked at Ye Qiu as she asked.

"I've still got plenty of stamina. Of course I'm going to the Sunset Forest to find a Soul Beast suitable for Sister Yun'er's Soul Ring. Don't worry about me... I wasn't bragging to you. I really did exchange blows with a Titled Douluo today."

Ye Qiu's face was full of pride as he spoke of exchanging blows with a Titled Douluo.

"..."

His smiling face was reflected in Su Yun'er's beautiful, glasslike eyes. She was worried, but even more than that, her heart ached for him. Still, she knew... those feelings would only be a greater burden to a man striving out in the world.

All she could do now was wait at home for Xiao Qiu to return, treasure the time they spent together, and do her utmost to take good care of him.

"I understand, Xiao Qiu. Send me home."

Su Yun'er spoke softly, leaning forward to kiss the corner of Ye Qiu's lips before releasing his hand.

"Mm!"

A smile bloomed on Ye Qiu's face, and a bloody light welled up in his eyes. He gently reminded her, "Get plenty of rest at home, Sister Yun'er. By the time you've finished breakfast tomorrow morning, your Second Soul Ring will be taken care of."

"..."

Su Yun'er said nothing, only looking at him tenderly as she nodded.

As a spatial vortex twisted around her,

Su Yun'er vanished from the Kamui Dimension.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

Inside the house in the peach grove,

Su Yun'er appeared on the bed in an instant. She curled up, hugged Ye Qiu's pillow tightly, and murmured, "Good night~ Xiao Qiu."

"..."

In the Kamui Dimension, after sending Su Yun'er away, Ye Qiu sat down cross-legged, took out a dagger, and began preparing the ingredients for the Dugu Family's antidote pills.

"Pfft!"

Ye Qiu closed his eyes and endured the pain as he sliced open his wrist and began drawing blood.

Fortunately, Ye Qiu had already gained some control over this body, which was made up of twenty percent Hashirama Cells. He could just about control the speed at which the wound healed.

Otherwise, he would have had to keep the dagger pressed against the wound to stop it from healing itself.

At the same time.

In the Dugu Family's residence in Heaven Dou City.

Dugu Bo's irritated voice came from the quiet room.

"What kind of fucking pill is this?!"

Dugu Bo sat at his desk, looking at the orange grain of rice stuck to his fingertip. His face twitched, and he grew angrier still.

He felt as though Ye Qiu had tricked him again!

"That little bastard! He obviously doesn't want this old man to know the antidote's recipe..."

Dugu Bo looked at the three remaining lumps of dough,

his face full of helplessness.

These antidote pills had clearly been rolled from grains of rice stained with orange juice.

And yet their medicinal effect was real,

and they even contained a trace of vitality.

Dugu Bo was completely stumped. He hadn't found the slightest trace of any medicinal ingredients in them.

"Hmph!"

"Kid, I hope you weren't fooling this old man about this..."

Dugu Bo snorted coldly.

He turned to look at the Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue that had melted on the iron rack.

The fishy smell had already spread through the room,

making even Dugu Bo hesitate.

But in the end, Dugu Bo could only pinch his nose and swallow the Whale Rubber.

"Gulp~"

After swallowing the Whale Rubber, Dugu Bo closed his eyes for a moment, but soon couldn't help frowning deeply.

His old face flushed bright red, and his body felt as though it were on fire.

"Hiss!"

A little jade-green snake shot out of Dugu Bo's sleeve as though it had been scalded and hid inside the Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse at his waist.

"Oh no!"

Dugu Bo's eyes widened, and he couldn't help crying out inwardly.

If he'd known, he would have bought the thousand-year-old kind!

The Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue was a little too potent. He felt as though he could barely withstand it, and had the urge to use his hand to release its medicinal power.

"Pfft...!"

Ten minutes later.

Dugu Bo resisted the urge, but the fierce medicinal effect still left a bit of a stain on his old age. The redness gradually faded from his face, leaving only deep embarrassment.

"Heh... haha..."

Dugu Bo was drenched in sweat as he gave a couple of dry laughs at the empty air.

"This stuff really fucking works!"

Dugu Bo said, feeling like crying but having no tears.

It was hard to say which effect of the Whale Rubber he meant.
