"Yu Tianheng! I told you, don't call me Yan Zi!"
Before Ye Qiu could even acknowledge him, an impatient voice rang out.
Dugu Yan had already walked out of the room.
At this moment, her face appeared even paler, seemingly due to using her Spirit again.
She looked at Yu Tianheng with cold eyes, then walked over to Ye Lingling's side.
"Yan Zi, are you alright?"
"Ling Ling, I'm fine!"
Facing Ye Lingling's inquiry, Dugu Yan shook her head, her voice softening.
"Yan Zi… I… I was just anxious and worried about you!"
Yu Tianheng chuckled awkwardly, his smile somewhat forced.
He truly didn't know why he, the dignified direct heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, had to come here and suffer such torment.
Ye Qiu looked at him curiously.
"Worried about me?"
A smile suddenly bloomed on Dugu Yan's face, and her green eyes looked at Ye Qiu.
Under the gaze of several people.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, and under Yu Tianheng's shocked, jealous, and hateful gaze, Ye Qiu's arm felt immense pressure.
Dugu Yan leaned against Ye Qiu, wrapped her arms around his arm, and held it close to her chest.
Her entire body was pressed against Ye Qiu's.
The warmth and softness by his side made Ye Qiu slightly dazed.
Compared to the girls he had interacted with in the past, her figure was undoubtedly the most outstanding.
At sixteen or seventeen years old, her chest was already full and ample.
Pressing against Ye Qiu and holding his arm, Dugu Yan was not entirely calm either.
A faint fragrance wafting from her nose seemed to improve her somewhat pale complexion.
She looked at Yu Tianheng, who was still wide-eyed with shock, with an inexplicable smile on her face.
"Your worry is completely unnecessary!"
"Yan Zi! What is this…?"
Ye Lingling's mind also couldn't process it immediately.
"Can't you tell? She has already accepted Ye Qiu's pursuit, you know."
Seeing her confused expression, Dugu Yan explained to her.
At the same time, she tightened her grip on his arm, not letting Ye Qiu pull his hand back.
Ye Qiu's struggling movements caused a slight tingling sensation in Dugu Yan's chest, and her face turned from pale to flushed.
She firmly gripped his arm to her chest, glancing at him with a strong warning and angry embarrassment in her eyes.
"Cough, cough…"
The sudden increase in pressure made Ye Qiu uncomfortable all over, and he dared not move again.
He looked at her in confusion, unsure why she would say such a thing.
It wasn't until Yu Tianheng's angry roar sounded that he understood.
It turned out to be for the guy in front of him.
"Yan Zi! How is this possible!"
Yu Tianheng roared in disbelief.
His eyes were fixed on Ye Qiu, especially on his arm that was trapped.
He wished he could chop it off and replace it!
"Yan Zi, you're lying to me, aren't you?!"
Yu Tianheng wasn't too foolish and immediately thought of this point.
He looked at her with hope.
Hearing him say that, Ye Lingling, who was beside them, finally showed a look of understanding.
She looked at her best friend, at the pink ear tips covered by her purplish-green hair.
This sacrifice was too great!
"Lying to you?"
Dugu Yan suppressed the urge to pull Ye Qiu's hand away, leaning her head gently towards Ye Qiu's side, her purplish-green long hair spreading over Ye Qiu's shoulder.
"We just agreed, and now I'm going to take him to see my grandfather!"
"See Senior Dugu? How is this possible!"
Yu Tianheng's face turned green; he had worked hard for several months, and she had always been cold to him.
What virtue and ability did this newcomer, this pretty boy, possess!
How long had they been alone in a room… and he had already gained Dugu Yan's favor and was going to meet her family!?
He looked at Ye Qiu with a cold expression, a hint of chilling killing intent in his eyes!
If he dared to get in the way, he could only send Ye Qiu on his way.
"What's impossible about it? You agree, right, Ye Qiu~"
She turned her face and leaned close to Ye Qiu's ear, her voice a world apart from her usual coldness.
"Uh, Dugu… hiss!"
As Ye Qiu spoke, he gasped.
Seeing that Ye Qiu wasn't cooperating much, Dugu Yan couldn't help but tighten her grip on his arm slightly.
At the same time, on a side unseen by others, Dugu Yan's red lips moved slightly up and down.
A faint sound, audible only to Ye Qiu, rang in his ear.
Strands of hair and warm breath tickled his earlobe.
'Help me get rid of him… and I'll immediately take you to see my grandfather!'
Looking at Ye Qiu's slightly reddened ear near her mouth, Dugu Yan couldn't help but feel a little smug.
Wasn't this also a manifestation of her charm!
Ye Qiu had already anticipated her request, a bitter smile on his lips.
To get the Immortal Herb sooner, he could only make Yu Tianheng suffer a little!
He gently exhaled a breath of warm air and nodded almost imperceptibly.
He glanced at Yu Tianheng, who was glaring at him.
While feeling his face flush.
To make the act more natural.
In his heart, the power belonging to the Blue Silver Emperor surged forth, a warm, calm, and gentle power slowly flowing through Ye Qiu's limbs and bones.
The unnaturalness and heat on his body slowly disappeared.
Along with it, Dugu Yan also caught a whiff of the aura leaking from him.
It seemed to alleviate her pain, and her complexion improved significantly, causing her to lean even closer to him.
Seeing the two almost sticking together, Yu Tianheng nearly ground his back teeth!
Ye Lingling also looked at her best friend in surprise, not understanding why she would 'reward' Ye Qiu in such a way.
After being cleansed by the power of the Blue Silver Emperor.
Ye Qiu's face remained as usual, as if Dugu Yan beside him was merely a beautiful skeleton.
Well… only his ear tips still had some color. This little bit of color… was harmless!
"Yan Yan is right! We're just about to go meet the family."
His gaze swept over Yu Tianheng, whose eyes were gradually turning gloomy, and he met Dugu Yan's gaze with a slight smile.
His handsome face, adorned with a noble and gentle smile, caused a slight ripple in Dugu Yan's heart, and her eyes somewhat darted away.
"Damn it! How is this possible!"
As a direct heir of one of the Upper Three Sects, he was certainly not a novice and clearly saw the flicker of emotion on Dugu Yan's face just now.
Ye Qiu took the opportunity to withdraw his hand, taking Dugu Yan's soft hand in his, their fingers intertwined.
Then he lifted them up in front of Yu Tianheng.
"See! Nothing's impossible! Yan Yan has already agreed to me… If there's nothing else, please don't bother my Yan Yan anymore."
"If you come again… it won't be polite!" Ye Qiu said.
Listening to him say "Yan Yan" and "my Yan Yan" repeatedly, Dugu Yan's face showed shyness, and her other hand was tightly clenched into a fist.
Ye Lingling also looked at Ye Qiu and Dugu Yan in a daze, watching the two who were feigning composure, and a beautiful arc formed at the corner of her mouth beneath her veil.
Crackling!
Lightning crackled around him; Yu Tianheng was already on the verge of exploding.
He had been here, humble for so long, and not a single task assigned by the sect had been completed!
"Yu Tianheng, right? I advise you to leave early. Yan Yan is mine! You're not worthy!"
After saying this, Ye Qiu's back was drenched in sweat.
Their intertwined hands, Dugu Yan was gripping him tightly, and it hurt.
"Yan Yan! Let's… let's go!"
Enduring the pain, daring not to say more, Ye Qiu pulled Dugu Yan and prepared to leave.
They had barely turned and walked a short distance when Yu Tianheng could no longer bear it.
Lightning sparks flew around him, his Spirit possessed his body, and his right hand had already transformed into a dragon claw!
"Kid! You're looking for death!!"
He roared, and the first yellow spirit ring on his right arm flashed, a giant dragon claw reaching towards Ye Qiu's back!
"Yu Tianheng! Are you crazy? Ye Qiu! Watch out!"
Ye Lingling's cry came too late.
Ye Qiu and Dugu Yan had just turned their heads when the dragon claw, condensed from lightning, was already upon them!
"Oh no!" Dugu Yan exclaimed, she hadn't expected Yu Tianheng to actually dare to attack, and it was too late to react.
Boom!
"Yan Zi~!"
The dragon claw descended with a loud bang, and dust filled the air.
Ye Lingling's cry was drowned out, and the gazes of Yu Feng, Shi Mo, and the others finally turned to this side.
"What happened?!"
"Heh heh~" Yu Tianheng let out a cold laugh.
In the smoke, a dazzling flash of blood-red light appeared.
