In the open space surrounded by flower beds.
Ye Qiu transformed, letting out a roar towards Tang San, looking somewhat ferocious, the bulging muscles on his body filled with explosive power, like a wild beast.
Poof!
Ye Qiu once again used brute force to break through Tang San's Blue Silver Grass binding, taking the Mysterious Jade Hand head-on with his chest, only to transform into a soft liquid, vibrating and deflecting the force, remaining completely still, opening his large hand and swatting towards Tang San.
"Ye Qiu, your defense is really not bad."
Tang San, using Ghost Shadow Steps, quickly dodged away.
"Of course, otherwise my cultivation wouldn't have improved for nothing, right?"
Ye Qiu said with a smile, patting his chest, and the second spirit ring under his feet lit up.
Swish!
Black tentacles immediately grew out of Tang San's body, constantly binding and devouring the spirit power within Tang San, growing wildly.
"It's not just you who can parasitize!"
Tang San smiled and was not in a hurry. He knew this was Ye Qiu's second spirit ability, a parasitic ability similar to his own second spirit ability.
As soon as he finished speaking.
Blue Silver Grass began to grow on Ye Qiu's body.
Multiple battles had already taught Tang San how to deal with Ye Qiu's attacks. His spirit power began to fluctuate and surge, and it took a lot of spirit power to break free from Ye Qiu's entanglement. Tang San also had to admit that Ye Qiu's spirit and spirit abilities were superior to his own.
While Tang San was breaking free from the restraints, Ye Qiu had already torn apart the Blue Silver Grass and charged in front of Tang San.
"No more fighting, we have to travel tomorrow."
Tang San's breathing was slightly hurried. Looking at Ye Qiu charging over, he quickly waved his hand.
"Alright! Then I'll let you off for today."
Ye Qiu said with a smug smile as he released his spirit possession.
Tang San said unhappily, "Hey, what do you mean 'you're letting me off'? If I were serious, you wouldn't necessarily have a way to deal with me, okay?"
"Ah, yes, yes, yes, our little San is still hiding his strength, I know."
Ye Qiu nodded repeatedly in a perfunctory manner, smiling and patting Tang San's shoulder. "If there's a chance, let me see it, okay?"
"There will be a chance."
Tang San smiled, not bothered by Ye Qiu's dismissiveness. Deliberately showing off was the lowest form; only by revealing one's strength at a crucial moment would one leave a deep impression and gain sincere admiration.
"Then I'll look forward to it."
Ye Qiu didn't care what Tang San was thinking and walked towards Dormitory Seven.
Since Ye Qiu's cultivation surpassed Tang San's, their sparring, which was initially evenly matched, gradually tilted towards Ye Qiu, and the gap was getting wider and wider.
The control ability of Blue Silver Grass was indeed good, but its restriction on Ye Qiu was very limited, and Ye Qiu's venom naturally grew tentacles. Entanglement, for him, was not a skill that could not be replicated.
As for Tang San's Ghost Shadow Steps, in front of Ye Qiu's powerful perception, it seemed somewhat insufficient. Ye Qiu was even less afraid of close-quarters combat.
As for hidden weapons, Tang San hadn't used them on him yet.
"Ye Qiu, I need to go to the teacher's place."
"Okay, go ahead."
Ye Qiu didn't turn his head. He wasn't particularly curious about Tang San looking for Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang. It was probably just for Tang San to bring back some books to read more during the holidays.
...
In Dormitory Seven, Xiao Wu had already packed her things and was sitting by the bed, patting the quilt and constantly cursing Ye Qiu, sulking.
"I say... it's just one holiday away, is it necessary to hate me so much?"
Ye Qiu's teasing and helpless voice sounded behind her.
Xiao Wu turned her head, her face full of unhappiness, and snorted coldly, ignoring Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu smiled, disregarding her, and placed the package he had prepared into Xiao Wu's hand.
He instructed, "Here, this is the gold spirit coins I prepared. Help me give them to Grandpa Jack. You should know where the house key is. Oh, there are also my leftover candies inside. Consider it compensation."
"Who cares about your candy? I don't need any compensation!"
Xiao Wu glared at Ye Qiu, her face drooping as she stuffed the things into her bag.
"If you don't want compensation, then consider it a gift from me."
Ye Qiu smiled indifferently, sat on the bed, and reached out to cup Xiao Wu's face.
"You... what are you doing? Let go of Sister Xiao Wu..."
Xiao Wu shook her head vigorously, but she was held steadily by Ye Qiu. Looking at Ye Qiu's face approaching, she slowly stopped struggling.
"Do you still remember what I told you? Don't get too close to him, okay?"
Ye Qiu's face was serious, and he said earnestly.
"No... I won't listen to you."
Xiao Wu shook her head angrily.
"..."
Ye Qiu's dark eyes narrowed slightly, feeling a little displeasure. He looked at Xiao Wu calmly and asked, "Are you serious?"
As he spoke, the force in his hand increased significantly.
"I..."
Looking at Ye Qiu's expressionless face, Xiao Wu, who had originally wanted to be stubborn, immediately felt a little panicked. She grabbed Ye Qiu's clothes and explained, "I was joking, really..."
"It's best if you were joking, otherwise I won't come back this time..."
Ye Qiu smiled and rubbed Xiao Wu's cheek. If Xiao Wu didn't listen to the advice and courted death, then what would he come back for?
"No, I was really joking. I remember what you said. I definitely won't get too close to him."
Xiao Wu looked at Ye Qiu. She was sure Ye Qiu wasn't joking, her face was a little pale, and she quickly corrected herself.
"Heh, it's good that you remember. I won't harm you. I will protect you, understand?"
Ye Qiu smiled lightly and rubbed her still slightly chubby little face.
Hearing Ye Qiu's words, Xiao Wu's crimson eyes seemed to well up with tears, her face was hot and flushed, and her small hand clutched Ye Qiu's clothes tightly, promising, "I... I will protect you too. Whoever goes against you, Sister Xiao Wu will beat them up~ Really!"
"Haha... you really are a silly rabbit."
Ye Qiu burst into laughter. This kind of love-struck brain was also very good, he liked it very much. Looking at that pretty face, Ye Qiu couldn't help but slowly lean forward and capture that sweet and soft taste he hadn't tasted for many years.
Xiao Wu stared blankly, the spring ripples in her eyes almost overflowing. Her red lips, gently bitten by her pearly teeth, parted slightly, meeting Ye Qiu.
This was their third contact.
Five years had passed since Ye Qiu took the initiative, and four years had passed since she took the initiative. Was Ye Qiu going to make her his girlfriend?
Feeling the wetness and movement on her lips, Xiao Wu's long eyelashes fluttered. Looking at Ye Qiu in front of her, her eyes filled with joy. She really liked this...
...
Early the next morning.
Ye Qiu and Xiao Wu said goodbye at the entrance of Nuoding Academy.
Xiao Wu's face no longer held the unhappiness from before, perhaps because of last night, or perhaps because Ye Qiu had teased her again before leaving, giving her a light kiss.
