The sun was setting in the forest, and the morning sun was rising with purple energy from the east.
Inside the Ice and Fire Spirituel Eyes' secret realm, Ye Qiu was sitting cross-legged on the roof of a wooden house, practicing the Purple Extreme demon Eyes.
Although the hidden danger of blindness in his eyes had been resolved, this eye-training method could still enhance his mental power (Eye Power).
"Ye Qiu, are you feeling better? Come over and eat!"
In the distance, Dugu Yan, who had just finished heating the food, shouted to Ye Qiu.
"Yeah! I'm done. I'm coming!" Ye Qiu finished his practice and leaped down.
By the time Ye Qiu arrived, Dugu Yan had already served the meal for him.
"Thank you, Miss Dugu!"
"Alright, alright! Hurry up and eat. I'm tired of hearing your thanks!" Dugu Yan held the bowl, her voice devoid of coldness. Her green eyes glanced upwards, giving him a disdainful look, and she casually picked some vegetables for Ye Qiu.
Then, she paid no attention to him and started eating on her own.
Time passed swiftly. It had been more than half a year since encountering the Ice and Fire Dragons Souls.
Now, the small table in the wooden shed seemed quite deserted, with only Dugu Yan and Ye Qiu.
They had been living under the same roof for quite some time, and their relationship had improved significantly. At least, they could be considered good friends.
As for Dugu Bo, that old guy, he appeared less and less frequently. Sometimes, he would be absent for six or seven days in a row.
Without him going out to buy things every day, there was considerably less food on the table.
Dugu Yan was not skilled in household chores, and Ye Qiu wasn't particularly adept at cooking either. The situation was somewhat troublesome.
The food had been packed and brought back yesterday. The surroundings of the Ice and Fire Spirituel Eyes' Cold Spring served as a natural refrigerator, and the food only needed to be reheated.
"Are you going to visit Xiao Lan at the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Pagoda Sect today?"
Without looking up, Dugu Yan added more vegetables to Ye Qiu's bowl, as if chatting casually about daily life.
"Yeah! It's been almost a month since I last went. It's time to visit them," Ye Qiu replied cautiously. Facing Dugu Yan, he couldn't afford to be negligent. Especially when it came to the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Pagoda Sect.
"Hmm?" Dugu Yan frowned and gave Ye Qiu a disdainful glance.
"I didn't ask about that Miss from the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Pagoda Sect!"
"Hmph! When do you plan to bring Xiao Lan back to accompany me?" Dugu Yan snorted and continued.
Staying with Ye Qiu, who was like a wooden block, for a long time was boring. He focused on cultivating day after day!
Her sleeping habits were also taken away by Xiao Lan. Without Xiao Lan, she couldn't sleep as comfortably.
"Hehe!" Ye Qiu couldn't help but smile awkwardly. "I'll try to persuade her."
"Hmph! You say that every time. Xiao Lan hasn't come back several times. Am I not good enough for her?" Dugu Yan poked her bowl, feeling somewhat resentful.
Ye Qiu continued to smile awkwardly, trying to console her, but he didn't know what to say. He simply added more vegetables to her bowl.
There was no choice; Xiao Lan had a gluttonous nature! The Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Pagoda Sect was wealthy, and Miss Ning waved her hand, providing whatever Xiao Lan wanted. Xiao Lan probably couldn't close her mouth after eating!
After breakfast, Ye Qiu was about to take Dugu Yan to the Royal Academy of the Tian Dou Empire.
Since taking on this task, he had never missed escorting Dugu Yan.
The figures of the two disappeared from the secret realm of the Ice and Fire Spirituel Eyes, reappearing on a vast open space in the Sunset Forest.
Ye Qiu habitually grabbed Dugu Yan's wrist, and the low-grade Eternal Kaleidoscope, tinged with a purple hue in his blood-red eyes, appeared.(because he didn't use another sharingan as sacrifice)
Dugu Yan immediately lowered her head. Having learned from past experience, she dared not look into Ye Qiu's eyes casually.
Her ears, covered by the purple and green long hair, showed a thick blood-red color.
The first time Ye Qiu escorted her, she vividly remembered how she had thrown Ye Qiu to the ground in confusion, even taking several kisses and putting her hand inside his clothes.
If Ye Qiu hadn't stopped her in time, she might have sent herself out inexplicably.
After that incident, she had caused Ye Qiu a lot of trouble, calling him a rogue, man slut and a beast.
While she was lost in thought, Ye Qiu had already used Divine Might Space, and the space began to twist. Their figures were swallowed by an invisible vortex.
When they reappeared, they were back at the place where they had first met—the small grove around the training ground of the Imperial Combat Team.
There was a fluctuation in space, and the two figures appeared. Before they could stand firm, a silver-haired girl with a veil covering her face, who had been waiting here for a long time, came forward to greet them.
Intimately linking her arm with Dugu Yan's, she said, "Yan'er, you finally came."
"Lingling!" Dugu Yan, upon seeing the newcomer, also revealed a genuine smile.
"How are you? Why is your face all red? Did you bully Ye Qiu again~" Ye Lingling's voice carried a playful tone, and her eyes scanned between the two.
Since Ye Qiu started escorting Dugu Yan, naturally, there had been more interaction between him and Ye Lingling. They had become more familiar than before, and she didn't intentionally distance herself from Ye Qiu.
"Lingling, what nonsense are you talking about!" Dugu Yan gave her a sideways glance, her peripheral vision still observing Ye Qiu.
"Miss Lingling, please don't make such jokes. Otherwise, Miss Dugu will trouble me again," Ye Qiu said with a bitter smile, stopping Ye Lingling's topic.
"My Yanzi is not as petty as you think! Right, Yan, Yanzi?"
"?" Just after speaking, Ye Lingling noticed a strange look in Dugu Yan's eyes. Suddenly, she found a hint of anger on her best friend's face.
"Hmph! I can't be bothered to argue with you. Hurry up and go accompany your little lover! Lingling, let's go."
Dugu Yan's voice carried a hint of coldness, not entirely satisfied with Ye Qiu's response. However, she wouldn't target him just because of a joking remark; she wasn't the same as before.
Holding Ye Lingling's arm, she pulled her to leave.
"Miss Dugu, wait!"
"What? Is there something else?" Dugu Yan looked at him curiously.
Ye Qiu approached, grabbed her hand, and placed a small jar in her hand.
"This is the antidote I made last night. Since you like sweets, I added a bit of sugar. Remember to take it on time, and I'll come to pick you up tonight."
"Okay, got it!" Dugu Yan nodded gently, her voice softening.
Ye Qiu's touch on her hand made Dugu yan feel a tingling sensation.
"In that case, I'll go first!"
With a casual smile, considered as bidding farewell to the two, a vortex appeared, and Ye Qiu's figure disappeared in this small grove!
"Ye Qiu's soul technique is really amazing. I wonder when I can experience it?" Watching Ye Qiu leave, Ye Lingling's eyes showed a hint of admiration and anticipation.
Then she turned her head to look at Dugu Yan, who was still staring blankly at the small jar in her hand.
"By the way, Yanzi, haven't you made any progress with him yet!?"
"Yeah! Every day, he just practices and practices. He rarely chats with me~ No, what kind of progress can I have with him!?"
Midway through her words, Dugu Yan realized her face was turning red. She glared at Ye Lingling with displeasure.
"Oh? Is that so? But come to think of it, I didn't expect Ye Qiu to be so considerate~ He even made your medicine sweet!" Ye Lingling teased as she looked at her.
"Hmph! I don't care about that playboy!" Dugu Yan snorted with a red face.
"Really?" Ye Lingling looked at her seriously, as if trying to see something from her eyes.
"Alright, alright! Let's not talk about this. Let's hurry over; Teacher Qin Ming and the others must be waiting impatiently," Dugu Yan didn't want to dwell on this topic.
She pulled Ye Lingling and walked towards the training ground in the middle of the grove.
