Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor.

Chapter 121 Ye Qing's tactics are a long and winding road.

After checking into the Xinghuang Hotel again, Ye Qing sat by the window, enjoying the food she had just bought, and silently waited for the long time to arrive.

To be honest, Ye Qing had never even been to the Star Luo Empire's palace. Mainly, he didn't really like going to those kinds of places; they were heavily guarded, had complicated rules, and there wasn't much to see.

Anyway, every time he arrived in Xingluo City, Xu Jiujiu would receive the news, and he only needed to wait for her there.

Sure enough, not long after, Xu Jiujiu's beautiful figure in a long gold dress appeared before him like a beautiful butterfly.

"Xuan! I missed you so much~" The princess walked briskly up behind Ye Qing, hugged his neck, and buried her face in his shoulder.

"I missed you too, that's why I came to find you right away." Ye Qing smiled slightly, took Xu Jiujiu's hand and pulled her into his arms. "Come and have something to eat together. You'll never get tired of the food in Xingluo City, no matter how many times you eat it."

She sat obediently on his lap for a long time, enjoying the delicious food in front of her while chatting and laughing.

They only meet once a year, so Xu Jiujiu cherishes every moment with Ye Qing. It's all thanks to this being Douluo Continent; otherwise, a long-distance relationship where they don't contact each other all year would definitely be doomed.

Seeing that Xu Jiujiu's eyes were full of him, Ye Qing's eyes flickered slightly, and he began to silently plan some things.

but……

We need to test the waters a little more.

For the next three days, Ye Qing accompanied Xu Jiujiu to have fun, allowing her to release all the longing she had accumulated over the past year. On the night of the third day, the two went to the top floor of the Xinghuang Hotel again to enjoy wine under the cover of night.

After another drink, Ye Qing hugged Xu Jiujiu from behind, rested his chin on her shoulder, and whispered, "Jiujiu, why don't we stay here tonight?"

Because Ye Qing was speaking right next to Xu Jiujiu's ear from this angle, his warm breath made Xu Jiujiu's whole body go weak.

"Ah...? This..." Xu Jiujiu was slightly drunk, her already rosy face turning into a ripe apple, but facing Ye Qing's affectionate eyes, she couldn't bring herself to refuse.

After struggling internally for a while, Xu Jiujiu nodded shyly.

"good……"

In the shadows, Man Yi felt a chill run down her spine and gasped.

Holy crap, this young man...

"Kid, you..." Man Yi was about to warn Ye Qing when Ye Qing retorted with a forceful retort.

"Alright, it's not what you think." Ye Qing glanced at the void not far away, his lips moved, and his voice was accurately carried by his soul power into Manyi's ears.

With his current strength, Man Yi's disguise was no different from nothing. His warning look made the Nebula Douluo's hair stand on end.

She actually sensed a strong sense of crisis from Ye Qing.

She usually only felt this way when a strong person of the same level showed her hostility, but Ye Qing's mere glance made her feel the danger.

But Ye Qing's little display of skill did indeed calm her down temporarily, and she stopped jumping. Manyi was also quite curious to see what Ye Qing was up to.

On the other hand, after agreeing to stay with Ye Qing for the night, Xu Jiujiu shyly hid in Ye Qing's arms. As an imperial princess, she naturally couldn't be completely ignorant of everything. Although she had never seen how extravagant the noble circles were, she had heard about it to some extent.

Moreover, the Starlight Auction House is similar to the Treasure Pavilion in some ways; apart from the auctioneers, the maids are all priced.

However, knowing this is one thing, but when it actually happens to Xu Jiujiu, how can she remain calm? At this moment, her heart is already pounding and she is filled with a mix of anticipation and fear.

The only thing I didn't have was regret.

And so, in a daze, Xu Jiujiu was led back to the hotel room by Ye Qing, who had his arm around her waist. Under Xu Jiujiu's gentle and shy gaze, the scene she had imagined—Ye Qing pouncing on her like a hungry wolf and devouring her until there was nothing left—did not happen.

Xu Jiujiu nervously clutched the hem of her skirt, glanced furtively at Ye Qing who seemed to be deep in thought, and whispered, "Xuan, what are you thinking about?"

"Why haven't you started yet?" That was the last thing she said.

"Jiujiu, have you ever heard of Qiluo Tulip?" Ye Qing seemed to snap out of her reverie, turned around, and asked Xu Jiujiu with a smile.

With her mind filled with bitterness, Xu Jiujiu never expected Ye Qing to suddenly ask such a question. She subconsciously answered, "Of course I know. The immortal herb, Qiluo Tulip, was once consumed by Ning Rongrong, the Nine-Colored Goddess of the first generation of Shrek Seven Devils. It allowed her to successfully evolve the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, which is unprecedented and unparalleled in the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Then, after a long pause, he was completely bewildered: "Xuan, why are you suddenly asking this?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I like you a little more than Ning Tian." Ye Qing didn't speak, but reached into his soul tool and took out a jade box, which he slowly opened. Inside the jade box, a magnificent and beautiful tulip lay quietly.

Seeing Xu Jiujiu's eyes suddenly glaze over, Ye Qing smiled and patted her head.

"This is the Qiluo Tulip. Its ability to absorb the essence of the sun and moon is a good match for your Star Crown Martial Soul. Since it can work on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, it should also be able to help your Martial Soul evolve."

"Take it; it's a gift from me."

This was a decision he made after careful consideration.

Giving the Qiluo Tulip to Ning Tian would certainly create a powerful ally for him with the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, but to be honest, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, which had already declined, had nothing that Ye Qing could be interested in except for money.

With Shrek Academy as his backing, Ye Qing has absolutely no need to win over the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Moreover, he is only one spirit ring away from breaking through to the Soul Emperor level, while Ning Tian has probably only just broken through to the Soul Venerable level.

With such a huge gap, even if Ning Tian exhausted himself, he still couldn't keep up with Ye Qing's pace, so this help was practically useless.

As for money... it's something you really need when you don't have it, but for Ye Qing right now it's just a string of numbers. On the other hand, Xu Jiujiu has not only confirmed their relationship, but he was also able to keep her at the hotel with just a word, ready to offer herself to him.

Before this, he hadn't taken out the Qiluo Tulip, nor had he explained why he had stayed for so long. She imagined that Ye Qing wanted her body, but she still stayed.

Is it a loss to give Qiluo tulips to eat?

It's not a loss at all.

Over the course of those three days, Ye Qing had subtly hinted at whether the Starlight Auction House had acquired any particularly valuable cultivation resources. The final result was that everything remained calm and normal.

The Snow Emperor embryo hasn't arrived yet.

Before the embryo arrived, Ye Qing used the Qiluo Tulip on Xu Jiujiu, causing her martial soul to evolve into the most powerful martial soul in the Star Crown Clan on the spot. Shouldn't you, Xu Jiawei, show some appreciation?

In this way, once the Snow Emperor's embryo arrives, even if Xu Jiawei doesn't say anything, Xu Jiujiu will do everything in her power to get it for Ye Qing.

Even if Xu Jiawei hadn't sent the Xue Di embryo to him because of this, he could have bought it himself. After all, Xu Jiujiu was the one using the Qiluo Tulip, and she was still his wife anyway.

However, this means that Xu Jiawei can forget about helping the Star Luo Empire after he grows up. Although Ye Qing's actions are not a loss, it doesn't mean that Xu Jiawei can accept his friend's kindness without feeling guilty.

He remained silent for a long time, but his eyes slowly reddened.

After taking the jade box with both hands, she quickly closed it and threw it aside. Then she suddenly pounced on Ye Qing, kissing him while tears streamed down her face, and tearing at his clothes with both hands.

"Take me, Xuan..."

After glancing at Brigitte's slightly dangerous smile in the Silver Dragon's Reverse Scale, Ye Qing obediently held Xu Jiujiu down. Brigitte had long been willing to give herself to him, but it wasn't convenient to do such intimate things at Shrek Academy, so she had been putting it off.

If you push Xu Jiu Jiu in front of Brigitte, Emerald Swan will probably evolve into Lemon Swan on the spot.

"Alright, let's eat the Qiluo Tulip first. I put a lot of effort into getting it." Ye Qing scratched her nose, which she had been rubbing for a long time, picked up the jade box that she had thrown aside, and put it back into her hand.

After a long while, he did not refuse again. Following Ye Qing's instructions, he sucked on the flower stamen, then swallowed the entire flower, and sat cross-legged on the bed to begin absorbing it.

After the recent tug-of-war, Xu Jiujiu was completely devoted to him. Ye Qing's position in her heart had surpassed that of Xu Jiawei, and could even be compared with that of the Star Luo Empire.

However, she is not like Bibi Dong, who is an ingrate with a treacherous nature. Otherwise, even if Ye Qing asked her to elope with him, she probably wouldn't hesitate for a long time.

As for Man Yi in the shadows...

Her jaw almost dropped to the floor.

The Qiluo Tulip, a legendary divine object, is, without exaggeration, a more precious treasure than a 100,000-year soul ring or soul bone during the Douluo Continent era. While some people have obtained 100,000-year soul rings and soul bones, no one has ever consumed the Qiluo Tulip in the past 10,000 years.

Xu Jiujiu understood the preciousness of this flower, which is why she completely devoted herself to Ye Qing. Manyi also understood the preciousness of this flower. After seeing Xu Jiujiu begin to refine the medicinal power, she quietly left and headed straight for the Star Luo Imperial Palace.

This was a major event, and Manyi couldn't remain calm; she had to report it to Xu Jiawei immediately.

That's a magical herb!

Legendary herb that can help people become gods!

On the other side...

As the night deepened, Xu Jiawei, still not seeing Xu Jiujiu return, was getting increasingly agitated. The veins on his forehead were throbbing uncontrollably. If he didn't know that Manyi was with Xu Jiujiu and that she wouldn't let Xu Jiujiu make any mistakes, Xu Jiawei would have gone to the Xinghuang Hotel to arrest her.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!!!"
