Hearing Ye Qiu's words, Qian Renxue's movements paused.
She frowned, looking at his sincere expression, and for some reason, her face flushed even more.
"What did you just call me?"
"Hmm? Xue'er? Actually, I've wanted to call you that for a long time."
Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment, speaking truthfully.
Looking at her flickering gaze, he asked in confusion, "What's wrong? You don't like it?"
"No…"
Qian Renxue pursed her red lips.
She gently shook her head and withdrew her hand.
She had long felt that Ye Qiu calling her by her full name seemed a bit distant.
"If you want to call me that, then that's fine."
Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow.
He didn't expect Qian Renxue to back down just because he changed his address.
This was truly an unexpected pleasant surprise.
"Okay, Xue'er!"
Ye Qiu happily called out. With this address, their relationship seemed to have become much closer.
Qian Renxue's pretty face was flushed.
This address had never been used by anyone before.
Qian Daoliu and others, at most, called her Xiaoxue.
Looking at Ye Qiu's playful expression, although Qian Renxue felt a slight stir in her heart, she snorted coldly on the surface.
"Hmph! Don't get carried away. If you dare to be late again next time,"
"I won't be so easy to talk to!"
With that, she reached out and wiped her still-moist red lips.
Feeling the scent in her mouth, her beautiful face flushed.
She then glared at him fiercely again.
"What if I really have something I can't get away from?"
Ye Qiu reached out and grabbed Qian Renxue's soft hand, chuckling awkwardly.
"Even if you're really busy, you have to tell me in advance. Of course, spending time with other women doesn't count!"
Qian Renxue pulled her hand away.
If he had time to spend with other women, there was no reason he wouldn't have time to spend with her.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely keep this in mind."
Saying that, Ye Qiu placed his hand on the stone table.
A crimson spirit power spread out, heating the stone table to warm up the dishes on it.
"Alright, let's eat first."
"I specifically saved room in my stomach to eat here with you."
Ye Qiu picked up the bowl that was already filled with rice and first served some dishes to Qian Renxue.
"Is that so?"
"Then shouldn't you explain where that unfamiliar female scent on you came from?"
Qian Renxue sneered.
Sitting so close, her sense of smell was very keen.
She had more or less smelled Ye Qiu's women on him before.
But in these two faint fragrances this time, apart from the Zhu Zhuqing she was more familiar with, there was also one that had never appeared before.
"It's Zhuqing's older sister," Ye Qiu said calmly.
Aside from her teasing him, their relationship was still very pure.
Therefore, Ye Qiu had no need to avoid it.
"Zhu Zhuqing's older sister? You really know how to play…"
Qian Renxue, whose expression had just softened, turned grim again.
She even imagined Ye Qiu with two women at once.
No wonder he forgot about her.
A pair of sisters was far more attractive than she was.
Ye Qiu froze for a moment, then gave a bitter laugh, "Uh, Xue'er, did you misunderstand something?"
"Am I really that bad in your eyes?"
"Isn't that so? One more, one less… Does it make a difference to you?"
Qian Renxue turned to look at him, her smile somewhat mocking.
"…" Ye Qiu was a bit speechless. It seemed Qian Renxue still held a deep resentment towards him.
He could only patiently explain, "I was just entrusted by Zhuqing to help her sister hunt a Spirit, that's all."
"If you don't believe me, I can take you to the Star Dou Great Forest right now to see the two sisters."
"No need, I don't want to see her!"
Qian Renxue refused outright.
In a short time, she didn't want to see Zhu Zhuqing again.
Why should she deny her feelings for Ye Qiu? She just wanted him to love her alone, what was wrong with that?
Ye Qiu rolled his eyes.
"Then Xue'er, don't slander me randomly."
"What do you have to feel wronged about?" Qian Renxue glanced at him, then picked up her bowl and began to eat.
As for Ye Qiu being delayed from seeing her because he went to hunt a Spirit, she didn't dwell on it anymore.
It was better than him neglecting her because he was with other women.
Ye Qiu looked at the dishes she had served him.
He also understood that he had finally managed to appease her.
While eating, Ye Qiu suddenly became a bit distracted.
He remembered finding traces of Evil Soul Masters in the Star Dou Great Forest.
He couldn't help but ask, "By the way, Xue'er, have Xue Beng and the others made any unusual moves recently?"
Qian Renxue's movements paused.
A hint of coldness appeared on her face, and her eyes were icy.
Recently, that Old orangutan Xue Ye had been summoning Xue Beng more and more frequently.
Qian Renxue was even considering whether to increase the dosage of the medicine!
Suppressing these matters of the court, Qian Renxue said coldly, "They have already begun to contact the Clear Sky Sect remnants."
"Clear Sky Sect remnants?!" Ye Qiu frowned, quickly realizing who she meant.
"Are you talking about the Single Attribute Four Great Clans?!"
"Now that the Clear Sky Sect has sealed its mountain, who else could it be besides them?"
Qian Renxue sneered, a hint of disdain in her eyes.
"So, what's the situation? Has any clan agreed?"
Ye Qiu continued to ask.
"No, they're just wasting their time. For now, none of them have agreed to them."
"If they really dare to get involved with Xue Beng, then there's no need for them to exist!"
Qian Renxue's voice was chilling.
To her, the so-called Four Single Attribute Clans were merely allowed to live by Spirit Hall's great mercy.
If they didn't know what was good for them, then they should return their lives!
"By the way, recently, Tang Hao's figure was suspected to have appeared in the Strength Clan."
"Tang Hao?!"
Ye Qiu was startled.
Could it be that he really didn't die back then?
Has he been lurking in the Strength Clan all this time?!
"That's right, but I can't be sure. Qian Jun Uncle said his aura was a bit strange!"
"He seems to have gotten involved with Evil Soul Masters."
Qian Renxue calmly looked at Ye Qiu, narrowing her eyes, and asked in confusion, "Why do you look so shocked?"
"Haha… I'm just surprised that Tang Hao would hide in the Strength Clan, that's all."
Ye Qiu gave a dry laugh.
The shock in his heart was not small at all.
He was not only shocked that Tang Hao was still alive, but what surprised him even more was that he would actually mix with Evil Soul Masters.
Then, in that case, wouldn't it be a matter of time before the Strength Clan and Evil Soul Masters got mixed up?!
That Old orangutan was someone who would kneel down as soon as he saw Tang San.
"Is that so?"
Qian Renxue frowned.
It was that feeling again, the feeling of not being believed by him.
"Mmm."
Ye Qiu nodded.
He couldn't explain it clearly now.
He almost killed Tang Hao.
He still didn't dare to expose the existence of Da Ming and Er Ming.
Between humans and Spirit Beasts, they were still mortal enemies after all!
Hunting Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beasts was simply too easy for Spirit Hall.
A hint of disappointment flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes, and she silently scooped a mouthful of rice, feeling a bit bitter.
She didn't press him further either.
