Ye Lingling also covered her small mouth in surprise; she could now confirm that ordinary Spirit Ancestors were indeed nothing to Ye Qiu!
"Ye Qiu! That's enough, you'll kill him if you keep fighting!"
Dugu Yan shook Ye Qiu's hand a couple of times, reminding him.
Looking at Yu Tianheng, who was like a dead dog, a hint of admiration flashed in her eyes.
She could clearly feel that Ye Qiu's cultivation was only Level 24; despite an eleven-level difference in spirit power, he could actually overpower Yu Tianheng!?
What kind of monster is this?
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
To prevent killing him, Ye Qiu not only didn't use his full strength but also continuously observed his vital signs with his Sharingan.
"Hoo~" He exhaled a turbid breath, and the bloody skeleton enveloping the two dissipated into specks of light.
The blood-red glow in Ye Qiu's eyes also disappeared, and there were already some bloodshot veins in the whites of his eyes.
Blue Silver Emperor's First and Second Soul Skills, Right Leg Bone's Life Without End, and various healing methods were all utilized.
His body and eyes immediately felt a cool sensation.
'So fragrant!' Dugu Yan sniffed, looking at Ye Qiu curiously.
To alleviate the pain in her body, she couldn't help but move a little closer to Ye Qiu.
"Hm?" Noticing the pulling force in her hand, Dugu Yan looked at Ye Qiu's actions strangely.
"Hehe~"
Looking at Yu Tianheng, who was lying in the pit, but still glaring at him fiercely.
Ye Qiu sneered, raising their two intertwined hands, his expression triumphant, his eyes full of disdain.
"The outcome is already very clear. Trash like you, a bug who can't even take one of my moves, doesn't deserve my Yan Yan~"
"Puff~" Yu Tianheng's eyes widened, rage filling his heart. After spitting out another mouthful of blood, his head tilted, and he fainted.
His sunken chest showed how severely he was injured!
"Hehe~ Miss Lingling, I'll have to trouble you later. If he really dies, I'll be in trouble~"
He nodded with satisfaction at the result he had caused, then looked at Ye Lingling with a polite expression.
What he got in return was a roll of her eyes.
He knew it would be troublesome if he killed him, yet he still hit him so hard?
"Don't worry! With my Nine Heart Sea棠, he won't die!"
"That's good, then we'll be going first!"
With that, Ye Qiu pulled Dugu Yan, ready to leave.
Dugu Yan turned her head and winked at Ye Lingling.
Ye Lingling nodded; she naturally knew what that meant.
Don't let Yu Tianheng recover too quickly!
However, she also gave Dugu Yan a strange look, but Dugu Yan didn't understand, looking at her strangely.
Under Ye Lingling's peculiar gaze, the two walked hand in hand into the dense forest.
After walking a distance, feeling the warmth in her hand and looking at her and Ye Qiu's intertwined fingers.
Dugu Yan finally realized what Ye Lingling's gaze meant, and a blush appeared on her face.
Looking at Ye Qiu in front of her, her voice turned cold.
"Had enough of holding my hand?"
Thump! Ye Qiu's steps halted, and his body stiffened.
He immediately released her jade-like hand and turned around to explain.
"Haha... hehe~" The awkward laughter stopped under Dugu Yan's cold gaze.
He scratched the back of his head, "Sorry!"
"Hmph!"
Dugu Yan snorted. If she hadn't used him first, normally, she would have made anyone who took advantage of her taste the power of Bi Lin Snake Venom!
"Follow me!" She took back her hand, gently rubbed it, and led Ye Qiu towards the direction outside the academy.
Rubbing her hand, she suddenly recalled the electric sensation when Ye Qiu squeezed her hand, and her heart felt a little strange.
The place on her chest that he had touched earlier felt faintly warm.
She glanced behind her with the corner of her eye, her eyes filled with intense curiosity.
Just as she was about to ask him, Ye Qiu spoke first.
"Speaking of Yan Yan... cough, cough." Noticing Dugu Yan's cold gaze ahead, Ye Qiu quickly corrected himself.
"Miss Dugu, hehe, Miss Dugu!" He gave two awkward dry laughs.
"What is it? Speak!" Turning her head, Dugu Yan also bit her silver teeth.
"By the way, what exactly did Yu Tianheng want from you?"
Ye Qiu used to think that Yu Tianheng pursuing Dugu Yan was just to allow his clan to have one more Titled Douluo.
In this era, there was only this one family with a wild Titled Douluo.
Taking Dugu Yan meant taking Dugu Bo.
In this way, the old dragon of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would no longer have to always stay within the clan.
His position as Yu Tianheng's successor would also become more stable.
However, Yu Tianheng had previously acted despite offending Dugu Yan, which Ye Qiu found a bit puzzling!
"Didn't you know my Spirit had evolved?" Dugu Yan's voice sounded, "At first, I also thought you came for the method of Spirit evolution!"
"Method of Spirit evolution!?" Ye Qiu's steps stopped in place, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.
Looking at her back, he quickly caught up.
"Then how exactly did Miss Dugu's Spirit evolve?"
"Hehe... You want to know?" Dugu Yan sneered, stopping and turning her head, looking at Ye Qiu playfully.
"Uh, hehe, if you can tell me, I'd certainly be happy to listen!"
"Then don't listen!" Clearly, Dugu Yan didn't want to talk about this topic much.
Sighing inwardly, Ye Qiu could only hope his worries were unnecessary!
The two stopped talking, quietly walked out of the academy, and then hired a carriage, heading towards Heaven Dou City.
Inside the carriage, the two sat opposite each other.
A painful expression suddenly appeared on Dugu Yan's face. She closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and her face became even paler.
She clenched her fists tightly, gripped the corner of her clothes, and bit her teeth.
Ye Qiu frowned, and Blue Silver Emperor's Second Soul Skill, Blue Silver Fragrance, quietly activated.
Inside the relatively enclosed carriage, a refreshing and invigorating fragrance permeated the air.
Breathing almost greedily, Dugu Yan's complexion improved significantly, but she still felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Ye Qiu didn't know how painful the toxin's backlash was, so he simply sat beside her.
He reached out and placed his hand on her shoulder, activating Blue Silver Emperor's First Soul Skill, Life Without End.
Ye Qiu's spirit power transformed into life force, continuously flowing into Dugu Yan's body.
"Mm~" Feeling waves of warmth emanating from within her body, she couldn't help but let out a suggestive hum. The paleness on her face lessened even more, and a hint of pink even began to show through.
"Thank you!"
"You're welcome! It's just a small matter." Ye Qiu shook his head.
Opening her eyes, she looked at Ye Qiu with some surprise. This guy seemed to have used quite a few Spirit Abilities already, hadn't he?
"Is this also your Spirit Ability?"
"Ah? This... this is probably my self-created Spirit Ability!" Ye Qiu's expression was normal.
"Is that so?"
Wiping the cold sweat from her forehead, Dugu Yan continued to close her eyes, mobilizing the spirit power within her body to suppress the toxins.
"What exactly do you want to find my grandfather for? You can tell me first, so I can relay it to him!"
"Mm." Ye Qiu pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke.
"Actually, I heard that Senior Dugu has a medicinal field..."
"Medicinal field!" Ye Qiu hadn't finished speaking when Dugu Yan's voice suddenly rose, and her body trembled.
"What's wrong?"
"No, nothing, the toxin's backlash just intensified a bit..." Dugu Yan's voice became somewhat stiff.
Ye Qiu didn't notice anything amiss, only thinking she was tormented by pain.
Little did he know that Dugu Yan's heart had already churned with towering waves!
What followed was endless killing intent!
A medicinal field! The treasure land guarded by their Dugu family was actually known to others!
The carriage entered Heaven Dou City and slowly stopped in front of the Dugu Mansion.
"Get out, we've arrived!"
Dugu Yan was the first to alight from the carriage, with Ye Qiu following close behind.
"Ye Qiu, you go wait in the living room first. I'll go find my grandfather..."
"Mm!" Ye Qiu nodded and followed the servant's steps towards the living room.
Dugu Yan, meanwhile, stood at the main entrance, coldly watching Ye Qiu's retreating figure, muttering.
"How did you know..."
Then, she quickly walked towards her grandfather's cultivation secret chamber.
The importance of that treasure land to the Dugu family was self-evident. The various medicinal herbs inside were also incredibly peculiar, and her Spirit's evolution was largely due to the medicinal herbs growing within!
She had to tell her grandfather about this as soon as possible!
