A Good Thing That Served Many Purposes

Su Yun'er raised her head, her eyes blurred with tears, and looked at Ye Qiu in confusion. "Xiao Qiu~ Are you going to Spirit Hall too?"

"Not exactly."

Ye Qiu shook his head gently and reached out to cup Su Yun'er's face, tenderly wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"At the very least, I don't want to get too involved with Spirit Hall just yet..."

As Ye Qiu spoke,

his expression grew meaningful.

Leaving aside the matter of the Immortal Herbs,

he had quite a few other secrets.

So... until he was strong enough, he didn't want to invite too much trouble.

Who could guarantee that Spirit Hall was truly clean?

As far as he knew,

the two successive Popes of Spirit Hall didn't seem to have particularly clean backsides, did they?

They merely looked bright and spotless on the outside.

"Then how..."

Confusion showed on Su Yun'er's face.

She didn't understand. If Xiao Qiu wasn't going to Spirit Hall, why had he said so confidently that they would never be separated?

If she really left the village

and went to Spirit Hall,

her whereabouts obviously wouldn't be fixed, so how could Xiao Qiu find her?

"Haha..."

Seeing Su Yun'er's puzzled expression, Ye Qiu couldn't help laughing. He rubbed her fair, tender cheeks with both hands and teased,

"Don't worry, Sister Yun'er. I've already thought of a foolproof plan!"

"Then hurry and tell me, Xiao Qiu..."

Su Yun'er wrapped her arms tightly around Ye Qiu's waist, pressing her red lips together as she eagerly waited to hear the rest.

"It's simple."

Ye Qiu couldn't help smiling. He brushed a finger over her delicate nose and explained, "Sister Yun'er, all you need to do is take a special Storage Soul Tool with you when you go to Spirit City."

"A special Storage Soul Tool?"

Su Yun'er was taken aback and looked at the Crystal Love at Ye Qiu's collar.

Ye Qiu smiled. "Sister Yun'er, I'm not talking about the Crystal Love. I mean a Soul Tool that can hold living people... It's called the Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse, and it just so happens to be in the hands of that Titled Douluo senior I know. There'll be no problem borrowing it for a while when the time comes."

"There's something that can hold living people?"

Su Yun'er was astonished.

She had thought the Crystal Love was already marvelous enough. She hadn't expected something even more marvelous.

Then... Su Yun'er's beautiful eyes gradually brightened. She looked up at Ye Qiu and threw her arms around his neck in delight, beaming as she said,

"Xiao Qiu! I get it!"

"With that Soul Tool, I can carry you with me. Wherever I am, you'll be there too, until I've settled down in Spirit City... right?!"

"Exactly right!"

Ye Qiu nodded emphatically.

"Haha... That's wonderful, that's wonderful! I don't have to leave my Xiao Qiu..."

Excited, Su Yun'er pushed Ye Qiu down onto the bed and happily wrapped her arms around his neck, her soft, delicate body pressed out of shape.

"Heh..."

Lying on the bed with the fragrant, soft beauty in his arms, Ye Qiu gently patted her pert, jade-like buttocks and said in amusement, "You're so silly, Sister Yun'er. How could I possibly let you leave alone without worrying?"

"Mm~ Xiao Qiu, it's all because I'm too silly..."

Su Yun'er pressed her thighs together and spoke shyly.

"I didn't mean to blame you, Sister Yun'er. Being a little silly makes you cute~"

As soon as he finished speaking...

Ye Qiu grabbed the two round cheeks of her buttocks and squeezed them with satisfaction.

"Mmngh~"

"Haha!"

Holding Su Yun'er's delicate body, Ye Qiu couldn't help laughing.

"Come to think of it, Sister Yun'er, our hearts really do beat as one... I never expected you to think of going to Spirit Hall to cultivate."

Su Yun'er let Ye Qiu's fingertips stroke her cherry lips. Her fragrant shoulders trembled slightly, and her soft, rosy lips parted as she leaned close to his ear and murmured dreamily, "Because I want to share my husband's worries too~"

"Mm."

Ye Qiu nodded slightly.

"Ah!"

Amid Su Yun'er's delicate cry, Ye Qiu rolled over and pinned her beneath him. Gazing at her flushed face, he said gently, "Sister Yun'er, once I've finished rewarding you, shall we go to the Spirit Hall Branch in Nuoding City?"

As soon as he finished speaking,

Ye Qiu buried his face against Su Yun'er's collarbone and began kissing her.

"Mmngh~"

Su Yun'er held Ye Qiu's head and tilted her head back to make things easier for him. Biting her rosy lip shyly, she moaned softly,

"Mm~ Whatever you say, Xiao Qiu... Ah!"

Ye Qiu suddenly bit down on the soft, still-beating tip of Su Yun'er's heart...

"..."

Sending Su Yun'er to Spirit Hall

was a decision Ye Qiu had made after careful consideration.

Thousand-Year Soul Rings would come to light sooner or later. Neither he nor Sister Yun'er could hide the colors of their Soul Rings.

It was precisely because of their Soul Ring Configurations

that Ye Qiu had never worried about whether Su Yun'er could go to Spirit City to cultivate.

Taking ten thousand steps back,

even without a Thousand-Year Soul Ring, his Sister Yun'er's Soul Skill would be enough to draw the attention of Spirit Hall's higher-ups.

Her going to Spirit City was a nail hammered into the board!

As for the startling Thousand-Year Soul Ring, Ye Qiu had already thought of a way to deal with it...

First, there were Chrysanthemum Douluo's discerning eyes.

As long as he noticed the scent of the Lovesick Heartbreak Red on Sister Yun'er,

the Thousand-Year Soul Ring would follow naturally.

If that really didn't work,

there was still Whale Rubber to fall back on as an excuse.

Either way, Sister Yun'er's Soul Ring Configuration could be explained.

Ye Qiu didn't need to worry about her safety either.

After all, he planned to accompany Su Yun'er to Spirit City in secret!

At the slightest rustle of wind or stir in the grass,

he could promptly take his Sister Yun'er and fly far away.

Of course,

the most important thing of all,

and what Ye Qiu most hoped to see...

was naturally for Chrysanthemum Douluo's keen eyes to recognize a pearl and see where Su Yun'er's opportunity lay.

That way,

not only could her Sister Yun'er secure a position in Spirit City and receive protection and training,

information about Immortal Herbs would also be hers for the taking!

No matter how one looked at it,

this was a good thing that served many purposes!

"..."

The sky was clear, and the blazing sun hung high.

The farmland outside Peach Blossom Village was gradually growing damp and soft from irrigation.

Deep in the peach grove at the eastern end of the village, the clouds and rain were at their height.

Melodious sounds, like an oriole's song and sobs, rose and fell...

Half an hour passed,

and a high-pitched cry echoed through the house in the grove, lingering for a long time.

Everything grew quiet again...

"..."

By dusk,

Ye Qiu finally woke Su Yun'er with a gentle poke. Her brows were touched with the charm of spring, and tears clung shyly to the corners of her eyes. He used his hands to push the waves and stir the billows as he dressed her and arranged her hair, then used his first Soul Skill, Endless Life, to heal the bruises and red marks their battle had left on her body.

He wiped the glistening moisture from her soft, rosy cherry lips, and once everything was as it had been...

Ye Qiu took his darling wife by the hand and stepped into a transparent spatial vortex, vanishing from their bedroom.

When they appeared again...

Su Yun'er had put on a mask and was strolling through the streets of Nuoding City for the first time, her arm linked with that of her ideal husband.
