……

It was already afternoon.

Ye Qiu, dressed in rags, finally returned to the carving workshop.

"Ye Qiu! What happened to you? You're in such a sorry state! Do you really have to become a Soul Master after all?!"

When he saw him, Grandma Tom's scolding came quickly.

Ye Qiu knew that her parents had disappeared during a soul-hunting expedition and never returned. Even though she possessed soul power, she didn't become a soul master, but instead married an ordinary man...

He couldn't give the truth in this situation, so he could only smile awkwardly. 'Being a Soul Master is truly something one has no choice but to do!'

"Alright, alright, Ye Qiu, you should go wash up first. I'll go buy you some clothes!" Grandpa Jerry pulled her aside, preventing her from speaking, and whispered some words to her after sending Ye Qiu away.

When Ye Qiu finished tidying up and came out again, the elderly couple sat upright, looking at him seriously, and gestured for him to sit opposite them.

Ye Qiu sat down, expecting a three-way interrogation, but to his surprise, Grandma Tom simply handed him the letter.

"The little girl came here this morning, but it wasn't time yet, so I didn't give her..."

He silently accepted it and put it away.

After the couple exchanged a glance, Grandma Tom took out a box from behind her and placed it in the center of the table.

"Let's see!"

Ye Qiu opened it as instructed, and a pink gemstone came into view... with a ring-shaped metal underneath.

"A ring?" He looked at the two elders strangely, not understanding what they meant.

"What? Is this all the esteemed Soul Master has to offer?" Grandma Tom's words were tinged with hostility.

Fortunately, Grandpa Jerry was there to comfort him, smiling as he said to Ye Qiu, "Take a closer look..."

Ye Qiu scratched his head, realizing his knowledge was really lacking. He held the ring in his hand and said, "This is... a spatial soul tool!"

He looked at the two elderly people in surprise, not expecting that they would have such valuable items!

Chapter 25 Very, Very Bad People

"This is a family heirloom of the Tom family. She was originally born into a family of Soul Masters, but after her parents-in-law passed away, the family declined. What should have been passed down to the family head ended up in Tom's hands..."

"Did I let you speak?"

Before Grandpa Jerry could finish speaking, the old woman standing to the side objected and glared at him.

"None of that matters. What matters is... this thing is yours from now on!"

"For me?" Ye Qiu pointed to himself, somewhat surprised.

"Yes, here you go! We're an old couple with no children, and we'd be buried together anyway, so we'll give it to you..."

"Isn't this too expensive?"

"What's the use of something so valuable? It's no longer useful..." Grandma Tom's eyes showed some bewilderment. "Can't you Soul Masters just behave yourselves? I'm tired, you can go now! Old man, see him off!"

“Uh…” Ye Qiu sat there blankly, watching her enter the inner courtyard.

"Ye Qiu, take your things and let's go!" After handing the items to Ye Qiu, Grandpa Jerry saw him to the door.

Behind her, Grandma Tom's aged voice drifted over, "That little girl is very kind; she was crying very sadly..."

Looking at the closed door before him, how could Ye Qiu not be moved? He felt a pang of sympathy for Grandma Tom's plight, and he understood the meaning behind her words...

He stored the items in his hand into his divine space, went to a clothing store, put on a black cloak, and headed towards Notting Academy.

Near Notting Academy, Ye Qiu's pupils turned purple as he scanned the entire academy. His eyes stung and his face flushed, but he was certain that Tang Hao was not around. Perhaps he had gone out drinking again!

A six-pointed star appeared in his eyes, divine power was activated, and Ye Qiu's body slowly sank into the ground...

In the deserted Dormitory 7, only Xiao Wu was there. She hadn't been to the classroom since Ye Qiu left.

At that moment, she was engrossed in her work at the table, fiddling with the bamboo dragonfly in her hands, thinking, "Once I fix it, Xiao Qiu will come back, right..."

Ye Qiu's illusory body slowly emerged from the wall behind her, revealing her somewhat slender figure.

She spoke softly, "Xiao Wu~"

However, she didn't react at all. "Am I hallucinating again?"

"Xiao Wu...I'm back!" Ye Qiu moved a little closer to her and called out again.

Thump! The bamboo dragonfly in my hand fell onto the table, and before I could even turn around, my eyes were already filled with tears.

Ye Qiu approached again and placed his hand on her shoulder. "I'm back..."

"Xiao Qiu!" She stood up and turned around. After recognizing the person, she immediately wrapped her arms around Ye Qiu's neck and leaned against his chest. "Xiao Qiu, you're finally back... Waaah!"

"It's all my fault, I broke the bamboo dragonfly you gave me again... I... I didn't mean to..." As she spoke, she choked up as if she had made a terrible mistake. Before Ye Qiu could hug her tightly, she ran away again.

Looking at her strangely, he saw her quickly take out a rectangular box-like object from the foot of the bed and present it to Ye Qiu as if it were a treasure.

"Xiao Qiu, look... this is the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow that Tang San gave me. Can I give it to you?" Tears streamed down her face as she looked at Ye Qiu, her lips pouting, utterly aggrieved. "Please don't leave me again, okay? Xiao Wu will listen to anything you say... Xiao Wu will help you with anything you want..."

Seeing her like this, Ye Qiu realized that he didn't actually dislike girls who were obsessed with romance; at least, he was being hypocritical with his own girlfriend...

"Yes, I know! I understand..." He pulled her into his arms, gently patting her back. "How could I abandon you over such a small thing?"

It took a while of comforting her before she stopped sobbing.

"Relax, don't resist..." In order to prevent Tang Hao from suddenly returning, Ye Qiu wanted to take her into the Divine Might Space as well.

"Hmm..." Xiao Wu heard this and quietly leaned against his chest, not moving at all. Ye Qiu's disappearance for three days must have really frightened her.

A vortex appeared, and the two figures disappeared from the spot, along with the bamboo dragonfly on the table... Dormitory 7 became quiet.

Inside the Divine Might Space, there are endless, vast stone platforms all around.

Xiao Wu lifted her head from Ye Qiu's arms, looked at the unfamiliar surroundings, and couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Qiu, where is this?"

"This is the alternate dimension that comes with my first soul skill!" He carefully wiped away the tears on her face.

"Different space?"

"Look!" Releasing Xiao Wu, Ye Qiu took a few steps back, a six-pointed star appeared in his eyes, and a purple soul ring slowly rose from beneath his feet.

"A thousand-year soul ring!" Xiao Wu covered her mouth, utterly incredulous, and eagerly pounced on him, "Xiao Qiu, you're amazing!"

"Hmm... she's getting prettier and prettier..." When they looked at each other, the words they spoke took on a different tone, their voices soft and weak.

Her crimson eyes seemed to be misty with pink, and she rubbed against Ye Qiu like a pet, her pretty face flushed.

This time it was even more outrageous; she even crossed her legs and started gently biting his face.

What a tragedy! He's just a child!

'It seems that the Sharingan, this unorthodox ability, has become even stronger!' Just as Ye Qiu was lost in thought, Xiao Wu started tugging at his clothes.

Quickly shut down your martial spirit. "Hmm? Long-term effects?"

Xiao Wu seemed to be completely absorbed in the story, so Ye Qiu had no choice but to tap her on the head.

"Ouch~" Their eyes met, and Xiao Wu's face burned even redder. Before leaving, she couldn't help but secretly take another bite.

Ye Qiu rolled her eyes. She couldn't be blamed for the first part, but this last one was definitely typical of the mischievous rabbit. "Put your legs down too..."

"Mmm~" she replied guiltily, slowly lowering herself down while still clinging to Ye Qiu.

"?" Ye Qiu looked at her in confusion.

"I overexerted myself just now, my... my legs are a little weak..."

"?" Ye Qiu was speechless again. Was his Sharingan really that powerful?

He activated his divine power and moved to a different stone platform, which had some tables and chairs.

She was placed on a stool, where her favorite carrots were already prepared on the table.

"You take a rest and grab something to eat while you're at it. I'll fix this little gadget!"

"Mmm!" The little rabbit nodded obediently.

While munching on a carrot, she glanced at Ye Qiu beside her. Carrots weren't Ye Qiu's favorite food...

Ye Qiu wiped his face, which was covered in saliva, and then wiped it with his sleeve.

"Hehe..." Xiao Wu giggled foolishly to the side.

Ignoring her, Ye Qiu continued repairing the things in his hands, this time adding some thin wires to wrap around them.

"Xiao Qiu~ Did you encounter some danger? Your black stockings are covered in blood..." Xiao Wu lay on the table, facing him.

"Yeah, I met a really, really bad person...he wanted to kill me!"

"Kill you! Who is it? Xiao Qiu, tell me, and I'll avenge you!" Upon hearing that someone wanted to kill him, Xiao Wu immediately stood up straight.

He looked at her, remaining silent for a long time.

"Xiao Qiu~ What's wrong?" she looked up and asked curiously.

Ye Qiu put down what he was holding, intending to be more explicit: "He is a Title Douluo!"

"Buzz~" Ye Qiu's casual remark made Xiao Wu's head buzz.
