Douluo V: Taking advantage of Xiao Wu's naivety, I tricked her into becoming my wife.

“Yes,” Qian Renxue said, resting her chin on her hand, her eyes filled with a melancholy, “Finally back!”

"You have no idea how many letters I've sent to you! Every single one of them has disappeared without a trace!"

"I thought you were hiding in some obscure corner!"

Ye Hua chuckled, "I am the leader of the Long Night Alliance, how could I die so easily?"

"It's just that we're going out for training, so communication isn't convenient."

Seeing that Ye Hua was honest, Qian Renxue knew he wasn't lying and stopped asking questions.

Ye Hua went along with it, without mentioning the City of Slaughter.

Firstly, it's too troublesome to explain;

Secondly, Qian Renxue is a high-ranking member of the Spirit Hall.

If she finds out that he is also in the Killing City, it will bring out Hu Liena, who is also training there, and she won't be easy to fool.

Who knows, Bibi Dong might personally go to the City of Slaughter to investigate for Hu Liena's sake, only to find out about his and Hu Liena's situation there...

In any case, it's not conducive to Hu Liena staying in the Crystal Palace for long!

It's better to avoid trouble!

"Alright, let's not talk about that," Qian Renxue waved her hand and picked up her wine glass again. "I have something else to ask you about today."

"Brother Xue, please speak."

“Xue Ke is graduating soon,” Qian Renxue said seriously. “If you are willing, we can arrange to meet anytime.”

Ye Hua paused, his hand holding the wine cup still, as the image of that little princess with graying white hair and a pure, shy demeanor surfaced in his mind.

“I remember that,” he put down his chopsticks, “but I have a lot of things to do right now.”

"The Soul Spirit system has just been rolled out, and the Long Night Alliance's arrangements are not yet in place, so I must stay in Notting City."

Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow: "So?"

"How about six months from now?" Ye Hua calculated the time. "Six months from now, after I've sorted out what I'm doing, I'll go see Princess Xue Ke. How about that?"

Qian Renxue nodded, "That's fine, I'll talk to Father."

"Six months isn't a long time; it'll give Xueke some more time to prepare!"

As she spoke, she suddenly smiled meaningfully, "But I must warn you, Xueke, although she looks well-behaved, is actually quite wicked at heart!"

"If you really intend to marry her, you'd better be prepared to be manipulated by her!"

Wow, how fresh!

Am I being manipulated by girls?

I'm always the one who's in control of others!

Ye Hua became interested. "How so?"

"Heh," Qian Renxue chuckled bitterly, "When she was little, she'd run into my bedroom to set off firecrackers and pluck my father's beard. And now, she's dealing with male classmates who have designs on her..."

"You didn't kick his lower body off too, did you?" Ye Hua stared wide-eyed.

Qian Renxue choked, "That's not the case."

"It's not broken, it's just that someone was hired to beat him so badly he can't get out of bed."

Ye Hua's lips twitched. "That's very naughty."

"Anyway," Qian Renxue said with lingering fear, "she's like a black sesame seed dumpling, so be careful, or you might get blown up in your bedroom!"

Ye Hua didn't take it to heart, "It's alright, they'll behave themselves after a few nights here."

Seeing that he wouldn't listen to her advice, Qian Renxue had no choice but to stop and cast a sympathetic look at him.

"Also, Wah-di, there's something I still need to say."

"You're too popular right now. Whether it's the Long Night Alliance or the Soul Spirit System, they're all easy prey in other people's eyes."

"No one will dare to touch you openly, but there are definitely many who will try to trip you up behind the scenes, so you'd better be careful."

Ye Hua held up his wine cup. "Don't worry, with the strength of the Long Night Alliance, no ambush can really hurt me!"

Seeing his confidence, Qian Renxue felt relieved.

Seeing that several rounds of drinks had already been consumed, she didn't linger any longer.

"Fine," she stood up, "as long as you're confident."

"I'm going back first. Don't forget our six-month agreement!"

"I can't forget her." Ye Hua got up to see her off.

It was still early when we returned to the Crystal Palace.

In the bedroom of the rear palace, Huo Wu was sitting cross-legged, clearly still adjusting to her soul.

She had beads of sweat on her forehead, but her breathing was steady, and she seemed to be doing relatively well.

Ye Hua walked over and sat down beside her. "How are you feeling?"

Huo Wu exhaled a breath of stale air, "It's alright, the soul power has basically merged, but I still don't know how to coordinate with it."

“That’s from real combat experience,” Ye Hua shrugged. “Now we just need to get used to it.”

Immediately, he took out a piece of right arm soul bone, which was entirely crimson and exuded a fiery aura, from the jade bracelet and handed it to her.

"Here you go!"

Huo Wu froze, her gaze falling on the soul bone, her pupils shrinking slightly. "This is... the Right Arm of Explosive Burning Flames? A prize from the tournament?"

"No, these are spoils of war from the Long Night team, I have no right to take them!"

"Take it," Ye Hua waved his hand, "No one in the Long Night Team is a good fit, it's just gathering dust."

"You happen to be of the fire element, so this will come in handy. Absorb it as soon as possible, and I will protect you."

Huo Wu tried to refuse, but Ye Hua, without saying a word, stuffed the soul bone into her arms.

She looked down at the soul bone and pursed her lips.

The Long Night Alliance has been acquiring soul bones, so Ye Hua certainly doesn't lack them.

But this is a rare soul bone that's 50,000 years old!

“Xiao Wu and the others all have them,” Ye Hua said helplessly when he saw her still hesitating.

Hearing this, Huo Wu breathed a sigh of relief and began to absorb the nutrients.

The soul bone merged into his body, a crimson light spread, and a scorching sensation erupted!

Huo Wu grunted and quickly channeled her soul power.

She subconsciously accelerated the flow of her soul power, wanting to make the fusion process smoother.

After all, the leader of the Long Night Alliance was personally protecting her, so she felt somewhat embarrassed.

But the moment his soul power began to circulate wildly, a familiar feeling of intense heat suddenly surged up!

Huo Wu's breathing suddenly became erratic.

That feeling... she remembers it!

Back then, she was drugged by Ma Hongjun. After Ye Hua suppressed the drug's effects for her, she had to use her soul power to eliminate the remaining drug effects.

At that time, in order to avoid being affected by the drug and to participate in the competition normally, she desperately circulated her soul power, and that's what she felt like!

My whole body is burning up and my breathing is unsteady!

But now, that feeling is back!

At that time, she was still having erotic dreams about Ye Hua...

Huo Wu bit her lower lip, forcibly pulling her thoughts back, not daring to think any further.

Fortunately, she became a Soul Emperor and was also a seasoned cultivator, so she quickly calmed her mind.

Just as Ye Hua was focused on protecting Huo Wu, the door creaked open.

Ye Hua turned his head and saw Zi Ji sneaking in quietly, her long purple hair swaying!

That delicate face screamed, "I'm here to cause trouble!"

"Zi Ji?" Ye Hua asked, puzzled.

Without saying a word, Zi Ji pounced on him from behind!

She wrapped her arms around Ye Hua's neck and breathed into his ear!

"Lord Qilin," Ziji deliberately leaned very close, "why are you so busy taking care of others as soon as you got back, and haven't come to see me at all?"

After saying that, his hand continued to slide down restlessly.

"Hiss," Ye Hua gasped, "Zi Ji, get down first."

"Fire Dance is still here, this is bad!"

"Hmph," Zi Ji snorted, "It's only exciting when it's in front of other girls!"

"Speaking of which, it's been so long since you've done that for me!"
