152 Chapter 151 Boundary Sensation

With Xiao Lan in tow, they quickly arrived at the Prince's Mansion.

Yue Qiu didn't even need to announce his arrival; the guards at the gate were already accustomed to him.

At this moment, Xue Qinghe had just finished dealing with official affairs and was sitting in a pavilion in the backyard, waiting for dinner.

"What's the matter? Is there something I can help you with again?" Xue Qinghe asked as he saw Yue Qiu appearing before him. He closed the book in his hand.

Apart from their regular nightly cultivation sessions, Yue Qiu rarely visited him. It was a typical case of "only coming when there's business."

"There is indeed something that I need your help with, Big Brother Xue." Yue Qiu sat down without ceremony.

Xiao Lan also sat beside Yue Qiu.

"Big Brother, hello!"

"Hmm, the little sister has become even more beautiful after such a long time."

Facing Xiao Lan's greeting, Xue Qinghe responded with a smile.

Just as he was about to inquire about Yue Qiu's business, a fluttering butterfly suddenly flew in from outside.

First came the sound before the person.

" Brother Prince, how come you didn't come to watch my performance again!"

A girl with a golden circlet crown on her head and white short hair that reached her ears, leaving behind a white shadow, landed in Xue Qinghe's arms.

"I've been so busy lately, haven't I? I promise to come next time." Xue Qinghe smiled helplessly, gently patting the girl's delicate back.

"You always say that, today you must compensate me!"

The white-haired girl was a bit stubborn, but Xue Qinghe patiently reassured her, his noble face showing an indulgent expression.

"Alright! Xue Ke, I have guests here!"

"Guests?!" Xue Ke curiously raised her head. The first thing she saw was a peculiar blue-haired girl, seemingly a bit younger than herself.

The cherry-like lips were nibbling on candied fruits, and her azure eyes carried an inexplicable smile as she stared straight at Xue Ke.

Xue Ke's face became a bit awkward.

Then, another blue figure came into view, with a handsome face, deep and bright eyes, and an outstanding demeanor.

Xue Ke's face blushed slightly, feeling a bit dazed.

Yue Qiu also sized her up.

With a delicate and youthful face, long and thick eyelashes, she appeared quite pure, but her slightly elongated eyes carried a hint of charm. Her fair skin had a rosy tint, and she had a good figure.

"I am Yue Qiu, greetings to Princess Xue Ke!"

"Ah, oh! Hello!" Xue Ke responded with some nervousness, standing up from Xue Qinghe's embrace. A blush appeared on her face.

"Xue Ke, Xue Ke?"

"Ah? Prince Brother."

Xue Qinghe pointed to another pavilion where a table had been set up with many dishes.

"I need to discuss something with Yue Qiu, you go and have your meal on the side!"

"Oh." Xue Ke responded with a voice that seemed a bit unsteady, walking with some wobbling steps and frequently turning her head.

"Haha. If Xiao Lan is hungry, you can also go and eat. Maybe you can become good friends with Xue Ke!"

Noticing Xiao Lan looking eagerly at the food, Xue Qinghe remembered her fondness for eating and invited her to join the table.

"Feel free to go!" Yue Qiu pinched Xiao Lan's tender cheek, sending her off to eat.

"Hehe."

As Xiao Lan and Xue Ke walked away, Xue Qinghe's laughter suddenly turned cold, and his voice became harsh.

He had also noticed Xue Ke's abnormal behavior.

Looking at Yue Qiu with a mocking expression, his words seemed sarcastic, with a touch of gritted teeth.

"Yue Qiu, your charm is indeed powerful!"

"Why are you looking at me like that? I haven't done anything!" Yue Qiu shrugged helplessly.

Could he blame him? After all, she was a beauty lover.

Speaking of which, wasn't Qian Renxue almost the same as her??

Yue Qiu looked at her deeply, as if trying to see something.

"What's with that look!" A character resembling the Chinese character "川" appeared between Xue Qinghe's eyebrows, and Yue Qiu's gaze made him uncomfortable.

"Cough cough. It's nothing!" Glared by Xue Qinghe, Yue Qiu didn't dwell on those issues.

He directly brought up the main topic. A sketch appeared in his hand, and he handed it to Xue Qinghe.

"Hey! This is what I need!"

Taking what Yue Qiu handed over, Xue Qinghe's face turned black.

"Why do you need so many long and large hollow pillars?"

"It's a secret!"

"You!"

Xue Qinghe's face showed displeasure, and it wasn't the first time he used these two words to evade the issue.

Ask for help, and this is what he gets?!

"Do you know how much iron this will consume?"

"As for iron ore, I've already acquired quite a bit before. It's all here! Besides, I will reimburse you for other expenses."

Yue Qiu took out a spatial soul device from the Divine Might Space and placed it in front of Xue Qinghe.

"Who cares about your stinky money!"

"..."

Not far away.

Watching the friendly interaction between Xue Qinghe and Yue Qiu, Xue Ke's expression became somewhat strange.

She had never seen her refined and gentle elder brother show such an angry expression before.

"Sister, why do you keep staring at my brother?"

Xiao Lan stretched out her little hand, which had some oil stains on it, and waved it in front of Xue Ke.

Xue Ke, with a circular crown of gold and diamonds on her head, had already put it on.

"I-I didn't. I was just looking at my elder brother."

Xue Ke's face turned red, withdrawing her gaze. She frowned slightly and glanced at Xiao Lan.

"Xiao Lan, it's time to go!"

Just as Xiao Lan was about to say something, a call from Yue Qiu reached them.

He had finished discussing matters with Xue Qinghe.

"Coming, coming!" Xiao Lan hurriedly responded, quickly wiping her hands with a handkerchief. Then, with a wave of her small hand, many dishes disappeared from the table.

In Xue Ke's confused eyes, they were about to leave.

"Oh! By the way, sister, this is for you!"

Just a few steps out, Xiao Lan turned back, returning the circlet crown on her head to its rightful owner and putting it back on Xue Ke's head.

"Xiao Lan, what are you doing!?" Yue Qiu had black lines on his forehead.

Having already had a good meal, she still wanted a takeaway!?

"That's what the sister promised Xiao Lan." Xiao Lan blinked innocently, revealing a hint of innocence.

"If Xiao Lan likes to eat it, then take it with you. You can come often in the future."

"Thank you, Big Brother!"

With a sweet smile, Xiao Lan looked at Xue Qinghe and then hugged Yue Qiu's arm, sticking out her tongue at him.

The protagonist smiled bitterly. Since the master of the house didn't mind, he didn't want to dwell on it too much.

"Well then, Brother Xue, I'll take my leave!"

"Hmm!" Xue Qinghe nodded calmly.

The two exchanged a glance.

Space slowly rippled, and Yue Qiu, accompanied by Xiao Lan, left the Prince's Mansion directly.

"I'm almost late for the rendezvous with Dugu Yan!"

"Huh? Prince Brother, where are they?"

Xue Ke ran over, looking around and not finding any trace of them.

"They've already left!"

"Left without notice?"

"Yes, if they didn't leave, your infatuation would have glued them to you!" Xue Qinghe teased his sister.

"You... What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not infatuated!" Xue Ke stomped her foot, refuting unhappily, then hugged his arm.

"Prince Brother, is this Yue Qiu a student from the Royal Academy!? Ah~"

Xue Qinghe, looking displeased, knocked her on the head, cursing Yue Qiu in his heart.

...

Night fell.

In a village not far from Suotuo City, one-third of the area was leased by Shrek.

In the dormitory.

The three girls, Rong Rong, Xiao Wu, and Zhuqing, couldn't sleep at all. They were sharing their experiences with Yue Qiu, but the tone was becoming more and more unrestrained.

"Rong Rong! Why do you always talk about kissing, hugging, and lifting? Are you doing it on purpose?"

"I-I'm not! I just...!"

"Xiao Wu always talks about sleeping with Yue Qiu!"

"Rong Rong, you're talking nonsense. I just mentioned it casually! It's actually Zhuqing who always talks about Yue Qiu helping her dress."

"..."

Their conversation, laced with gunpowder, finally subsided after a while.

Under the covers, their faces were slightly flushed.

Shrek, covered by the night, seemed serene.

But in the nearby small forest.

Suddenly, muffled sounds and screams echoed, making the night livelier.

A black figure shot up from the forest, disappearing into the sky.

Subsequently, Dean Flender, supporting the nearly unrecognizable Zhao Wuji, emerged from inside.

Due to Tang San's serious injuries, Tang Hao didn't hold back.

Taking advantage of the tradition of 'hitting the small and attracting the old,' he gave Zhao Wuji a thorough beating.

"Cough... Pah!" Zhao Wuji spat out a tooth, mixed with blood, speaking with a bit of a lisp.

"This bastard is too heavy-handed!"

"Enough! Keep your complaints to yourself. That Tang Hao has surpassed the 95th level; he's probably far beyond that now. Just swallow your pride."

"Hmph! I'm just venting a bit." Zhao Wuji grumbled, not daring to harbor any thoughts of revenge against the formidable figure who dared to strike even the Pope.

...

In the secret chamber of the Prince's Mansion.

Qian Renxue was waiting for Yue Qiu as usual.

Holding a letter sent from the Hall of Worship, she already had some information about Yue Qiu.

This afternoon.

The Sixth Worship, Qian Daoliu, and his younger brother, the Seventh Worship, Demon-slaying Douluo, had set off for Suotuo City.

Buzz~

Invisible ripples spread out, and Yue Qiu's figure appeared in the secret chamber.

"What's this?"

Before he could steady himself, a piece of paper landed on his face.

Qian Renxue's cold voice echoed in his ears.

"Well~ Your matter has a result! The two Worship brothers will arrive at the Martial Soul Hall branch in Suotuo City the day after tomorrow."

"So fast!?" Yue Qiu, looking at the letter, felt somewhat surprised. He didn't expect Qian Daoliu to send this pair of twin brothers.

Both of them were at the 96th level, with the Coiling Dragon Staff martial soul.

"Is fast not good? This shows your importance to me, doesn't it?" Qian Renxue gave him a white eye. She had sent the message back that night.

"Thanks! But why does it feel like the letter is missing something?" Sitting beside the newly built stone table, Yue Qiu raised an eyebrow, looking at her strangely.

"Hmph! That part contains things unrelated to you, my personal privacy!"

Qian Renxue turned up her nose, and a flash of light made a small note in her hand disappear without a trace.

Yue Qiu looked at the crack where a half 'Ye' seemed to have been left, feeling puzzled.

"But here..."

"Alright, I've told you the message. If there's nothing else, let's start cultivating!"

Swish!

Qian Renxue stood up, snatching the letter from his hand and storing it in her soul device. Then, she sat on the bed and cross-legged.

"What are you staring at? Hurry up and come over!"

"Alright! I'm coming." Following her words, Yue Qiu moved to the position behind her and sat down, leaning on her back.

"By the way, I might not come for the next few days. I have something to do!"

Close to Yue Qiu, Qian Renxue's face became even more rosy.

"Where are you going?"

"Secrets!"

"Ye... Qiu!" Qian Renxue gritted her teeth, uttering his name slowly.

Turning his head, he wished he could bite off his ear.

"You can't say anything other than these two words? Don't think I don't know. You're going to find that little girl, Ning Rongrong!"

"Keep your voice down. Didn't you already know about it?" Yue Qiu, disturbed by her shouting in his ear, felt a bit uncomfortable.

"Hmph! You don't trust me. How can our Martial Soul Fusion skill become perfect if you don't trust me?"

"Trust is not something that can be built in a day. Let's take it slowly and get to know each other more deeply."

"Alright, let's start!"

The two of them held each other's hands, their fingers interlocked.

"Hmph!"

Qian Renxue snorted, moving her buttocks backward a bit, pushing Yue Qiu away with force.

This was the posture they had become proficient in.

Back-to-back, hands in hands.

After performing the "Yin Yang Two Hearts Sutra," their soul power and spiritual power were connected, progressing together.

Practice to perfection, minds in harmony.

In the secret chamber.

Golden light entwined with blood essence.

A six-winged angel with colored contact lenses soared in the secret chamber.

Soul power blended into meridians.

The sacred and hot blood-colored soul power surged in the abdomen.

With the sunrise accompanied by purple energy.

Sunlight fell on the Heaven Dou Imperial City, and the secret chamber returned to tranquility.

However, the two people on the bed still didn't open their eyes. Yue Qiu's face carried a pleased expression.

He had broken through to level 32.

In his mind, Qian Renxue's surprised voice echoed.

"You broke through?"

"Yeah!" There was no need to conceal it. In such close proximity, Qian Renxue would surely perceive it.

"I've told you before; if you understand my soul skills, you won't be surprised."

" Bastard! Who told you to eavesdrop on my thoughts!"

"I didn't!"

With a cracking sound, the shattered voices resounded in both their minds, and their consciousness returned to their respective bodies.

"I don't think you're stronger than me! Never again! Don't let it become a habit!"

Qian Renxue opened her eyes, her gaze sharp as she turned away, her face icy.

"Understood! Don't rest on your laurels!"

Yue Qiu nodded. He was also puzzled; such a situation had never occurred before.

Turning his head, he explained softly.

"I really didn't eavesdrop on your thoughts just now."

"Hmph! Who knows!" Qian Renxue's earlobes turned slightly red, and her expression was not pleasant.

"Get lost! I'm a bit tired."

"Alright! Take care of yourself!"

In just a sentence, Qian Renxue felt the emptiness behind her.

The secret chamber also suddenly became a bit chilly.

"Hmph! This rascal, why can't I perceive him spying on my thought, why did he see mine first?"

Qian Renxue, still sitting on the bed, looked displeased.

This involved the part of the "Yin Yang Two Hearts Sutra" that she had torn off from Yue Qiu's in the past.

She didn't expect that in that fleeting moment, she would completely let go of her guard against him, without any reservations!

Indeed, it wasn't his fault, but deep inside, she still held a grudge against Ye Qiu.

Why did she try to probe him from the beginning, and until now, she couldn't grasp even a tiny bit of that scoundrel Ye Qiu's thoughts!

Qian Rensnow straightened her body, taking a deep breath.

"Hmm? What's this?"

Just as she was about to get up, her hand pressed onto something.

Picking it up in her hand, it looked like a lily flower, emanating a pleasant medicinal fragrance.

It was the " Polygala lily " left by Ye Qiu!

"Hmph! What's the use of this flower? I'm not really tired!"

Her voice no longer carried the anger from before, but the words were still sent into the soul device.

A small smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

...

Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes Secret Realm.

" Holy crap! You old guy scared me!"

Just as Ye Qiu appeared in the wooden shed, a gray-clothed old man appeared in front of him.

Hearing his voice, the gray-clothed old man's face turned black, making his emerald green hair and pupils even more eye-catching.

" kid, it hasn't been long since we last met. Are you daring to be so disrespectful? If you keep this up, believe me, I'll ask Yanyan to make you sleep on the ground in the future!"

"Senior Dugu, who told you to come and go without a trace? I just got a bit excited! Besides, my Yanyan won't do that!"

This gray-clothed old man was none other than Dugu Bo, who had disappeared for quite some time.

Seeing Ye Qiu's teasing eyes, Dugu Bo's emerald green eyes narrowed.

"Not bad, brat. How did it become your Yanyan so quickly? You two haven't even married yet! When the time comes, you'll still have to follow my lead!"

"Hmph! Do you dare to disagree?!"

" Of course I can, haha. How could I not agree? As long as Yanyan feels good about it, haha."

At first, Dugu Bo was quite tough.

Upon realizing that this was the voice of his granddaughter, a smile immediately appeared on his face, even bordering on flattery.

Turning around to look at his granddaughter.

"Yanyan, why are you up so early?"

"Got woken up by you two!" Dugu Yan glanced at them with dissatisfaction.and rolled her eyes at them angrily.

"Yanyan~" Ye Qiu looked at the girl behind Dugu Bo, a smile on his face.

"Yeah!" Dugu Yan walked to Ye Qiu's side, hugging his arm, and turned her head to look at Dugu Bo.

"Grandpa, can't you come back more often? You don't have to stay outside every day."

"I'm doing this for your convenience!"

Dugu Bo sat down next to the table, took a sip of the freshly brewed tea, and said, "Kid, do you really have to go far away?"

"Yes, so Senior Dugu, I'll trouble you to take care of Yanyan during this time!"

Ye Qiu nodded indifferently. He had to arrive in Suotuo City before Qian Renxue and the Demon-slaying Douluo.

"You brat, you really consider Yanyan as your own? Am I not her grandpa? Shouldn't I take care of her?"

Dugu Bo felt a bit resentful. How long had it been since he left?

Family members, who understands them? He found a son-in-law for his granddaughter, does that make him an outsider?

"I'm just afraid you'll run around too much." Ye Qiu scratched his head with a dry smile.

"Going to Suotuo City?" Dugu Yan leaned on his shoulder, looking at his profile, her breath like an orchid.

She had known about Ye Qiu's plan for a long time, so she wasn't too surprised.

"Yes, after sending you to the academy, I'll set off! Xiao Lan, I'll trouble you to take care of her during this time."

"Rest assured, Brother Ye, I will definitely take good care of Miss Yanyan."

Xiao Lan, who had followed Dugu Yan, nodded respectfully.

"Alright, no more nonsense. Yanyan, let's go. I'll take you to the academy."

"Okay, Grandpa!" Dugu Yan responded sweetly, and the two of them walked out of the small courtyard together.

Dugu Bo sat there, watching their figures, and sighed softly.

"Nowadays, young people are really bold. Well, I hope this kid can take good care of Yanyan."

Sipping his tea, Dugu Bo muttered to himself.

...

The scorching sun hung high.

In a town on the edge of the Star Dou Forest!

Having already bid farewell to the two girls, Ye Qiu appeared in a small grove outside the town.

He had passed through here before and left a mark.

Rushing from this location to Suotuo City would save a lot of time.
