Douluo: Venom Spirit, possesses Xiao Wu at the beginning.

Chapter 726 He's still just an outsider.

During these five days, while Ye Qiu lingered among the flowers, he also took the time to visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to inquire about the progress of important matters.

On the very day Ye Qiu returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengzhi relayed their condition—that they would only act if they possessed three ten-thousand-year-old soul bones—to Tang Yuehua, the master of Yuexuan Pavilion. The response was naturally that they needed to consider it; three ten-thousand-year-old soul bones were no small sum for any power. In fact, on the entire continent, the number of powers capable of producing three ten-thousand-year-old soul bones could be counted on one hand.

Thus, the Haotian Sect's plan to rescue Tang City was once again put on hold, and they needed time to negotiate and bargain with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

The Clear Sky Sect will only take action once all members sent to rescue Tang Chen have been confirmed.
--------------

As night fell, in the back garden of the Crown Prince's residence, Ye Qiu held his young daughter in his arms, feeding Ye Ling'er while his dark eyes occasionally glanced at Liu Erlong, A Yin, and the other girls.

The atmosphere at the dining table was fairly friendly and pleasant.

Even Qian Renxue sat gracefully beside Ye Qiu, eating slowly and deliberately. She looked much better than before; her complexion was rosy and radiant, and her eyes held a subtle, gentle allure. This was naturally related to Ye Qiu's skill in martial arts.

Although she doesn't speak much, she gets along well with Ah Yin and the others.

Occasionally, she would reach out with her chopsticks to add some food for Ye Qiu and Ye Ling'er. She exuded a dignified and elegant demeanor befitting a matriarch.

of course.

Qian Renxue wasn't the only one whose complexion had improved; A Yin and Ling Yuan, too, had rosy, elegant faces like young maidens, exuding the gentle charm of noblewomen. The savings they'd accumulated over the past two years had been released, enough to soak them in their own bodies, making them look radiant and incredibly alluring.

However, Ling Yuan seemed to have something on her mind at this moment.

Even Ah Yin's face showed a hint of disappointment; she knew the day of parting was approaching. Unfortunately, she still needed to complete her assessment and couldn't stay by Ye Qiu's side to help him travel to the far north to persuade the soul beasts to sacrifice themselves.

"Mother, Ling'er wants some soup!"

Ye Ling'er's sweet, soft voice rang out, but Liu Erlong seemed not to hear it. She naturally sensed that the atmosphere tonight was a bit off.

And they quickly figured out why this strange atmosphere had arisen.

Without a doubt, the center of their table was the only man present. Like a bond, a spear connected them all, making them a unified whole.

"Mother? Ling'er wants some soup!"

Ye Ling'er repeated herself, reaching out her little hand and tugging at Liu Erlong's sleeve.

"what?"

Liu Erlong snapped out of her daze and realized that Ye Qiu and the others were looking at her with puzzled expressions. She immediately lowered her head, her face flushing, and carefully fed Ye Ling'er the soup bowl.

"Yes, Ye'er, Mother will feed you now."

"..."

A faint smile appeared on Ye Qiu's face. In the past few days, he had taken Liu Erlong and their daughter to many places. During this time, as husband and wife, physical contact was naturally abundant. With Ye Ling'er's encouragement, blushing was simply a daily occurrence for Liu Erlong. At Ye Ling'er's request, Liu Erlong had also initiated kisses quite a few times.
"Come to the study after you finish eating. I have something to tell you," Qian Renxue suddenly put down her chopsticks and said softly to Ye Qiu.

"Ok?"

Ye Qiu paused for a moment, then nodded.

"no problem!"

Ah Yin and the other girls looked at Qian Renxue with some meaningful glances. Judging from the changes in Qian Renxue's expression over the past few days, even a fool would know what Ye Qiu and Qian Renxue had been doing. At the very least, it was intimate contact, like touching and kissing.

"..."

Noticing Ah Yin and the others' gazes, Qian Renxue's face tightened, but she couldn't help but blush. Without offering any explanation, she stood up and walked towards the study.

Today, she wasn't planning on spending some alone time with Ye Qiu.

At the very least, we should wait until we finish discussing things.

If Ye Qiu has time, he'll spend some more time with her. Watching Qian Renxue leave, Ye Qiu lowered his head and asked Ye Ling'er, "My dear daughter, are you full? Would you like a few more shrimp?"

"No need, Daddy, Ling'er is already full, hee hee!" Ye Ling'er's mouth was full of grease as Ye Qiu fed her. She gently patted her belly, feeling more content than ever before. These past few days had definitely been the happiest time of her life since she was old enough to understand things.

"Really? You can't have the bad habit of eating late-night snacks."

"Really, really!"

"In that case, Ling'er, go for a walk to digest your food. Dad will go to Aunt Xue's study first and come back to keep you company later."

Ye Qiu wore a gentle smile.

He gently pinched Ye Ling'er's cheek and wiped the oil off her face. Then he was about to put her down on the ground.

"Mmm! Ling'er is waiting for Daddy here, *smack*!"

Ye Ling'er nodded heavily, tiptoed, hugged Ye Qiu's neck, kissed him on the cheek, and then flew away like a colorful butterfly towards the flower bushes not far away.

"Heh," Ye Qiu raised his hand to wipe his face, then got up.

Ah Yin suddenly asked, "Bad boy, when do you plan to leave?"

"Around midnight," Ye Qiu said casually.

Ah Yin nodded slightly, saying nothing more. She and Qian Renxue knew best what Ye Qiu was about to face.

Liu Erlong's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but frown.

She was somewhat unwilling
Ye Qiu continued, "Let's wait until Ling'er falls asleep first. If she starts crying, we'll have to trouble you to soothe her, Erlong."

Saying,

Ye Qiu then turned his gaze to Liu Erlong.

"I can do this without your instructions." Liu Erlong didn't even look at Ye Qiu and poured Ye Ling'er's leftovers into his own bowl.

Seeing this, Ye Qiu didn't stand on ceremony.

He simply placed his own bowl on top of Liu Erlong's bowl, then turned and left.

"you!"

Liu Erlong immediately raised her head, glaring angrily at Ye Qiu's retreating figure. She gritted her teeth, unsure of what to say.

"..."

Ah Yin shook her head helplessly. Ye Qiu was already a father, yet he was still so petty.

Ling Yuan quickly finished her food and slowly stood up. "I have to go over there too. There are some things I need to talk to that guy about. He might have to change his plans."

"?"

Ah Yin's face showed confusion.

Ling Yuan didn't explain, and followed Ye Qiu away under the watchful eyes of Liu Erlong and the others.

Liu Erlong frowned.

She knows nothing; after all, she's still an outsider!

　Wishing you all a happy life!
