Chapter 168 - Return

"Hmph! You're just twisting words!" A Yin huffed, snuggling gently into Ye Qiu's arms.

Ye Qiu's face softened as he gazed down at A Yin's shimmering eyes, her face radiating a seductive glow, as if she were about to cry from being bullied.

A mischievous glint sparked in his eyes, and a wicked smile curled his lips.

Seeing the desire in Ye Qiu's eyes, A Yin panicked and quickly pushed him away, retreating with the milk in hand.

"Get out now!"

"Alright," Ye Qiu replied smoothly, nodding before vanishing from her sight, leaving A Yin staring in bewildered surprise.

His abrupt departure only fueled A Yin's anger.

Frustrated, she couldn't help but curse under her breath.

"That lecherous scoundrel! Bastard! He just leaves like that? After bullying me just moments ago! Deadbeat!"

***

Ye Qiu had emerged from A Yin's body into the outside world.

A pair of jet-black wings sprouted from his back, allowing him to soar through the heavens. The wings shimmered with a green glow as they absorbed the surrounding天地 energy.

*Flying...*

*Truly the highest expression of freedom.*

Ye Qiu felt an indescribable sense of liberation.

He was certain A Yin was seething with anger again.

*The unattainable always stirs the heart.* This tactic worked equally well on men and women.

Ye Qiu understood this principle deeply.

That's why he couldn't let A Yin have him so easily.

He had to maintain the upper hand!

"Ha ha..."

Ye Qiu laughed heartily to himself, then couldn't help but glance into the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.

*The unattainable always stirs the heart.* It seemed he himself had fallen victim to this truth.

As he hovered in the air, Ye Qiu's smile gradually faded, replaced by a resolute expression.

He slowly descended to the ground.

Immediately, several strands of Blue Silver Emperor grass vines shot out, eager to embrace him.

***

The sun blazed high in the sky.

Ye Qiu, cradling A Yin in his arms, reappeared on the mountain slope where they had first arrived.

Looking back, the Blue Silver Forest appeared as nothing more than a vast wasteland, its hidden wonders invisible to the untrained eye.

"A Yin, I never imagined you could shrink like this," Ye Qiu remarked.

"Don't be so dramatic," A Yin retorted, annoyed. "Being larger just allows me to absorb natural energy more efficiently."

Ye Qiu nodded in understanding and placed her back into the Ruyi Treasure Pouch.

Transforming into Venom, he unfurled his black Blue Silver Wings. With powerful strokes, he soared into the clouds, retracing their path at full speed.

During the flight, Ye Qiu couldn't resist voicing his thoughts.

"A Yin... I'm really touched that you're willing to come back with me."

He had witnessed firsthand the terrifying impact the Blue Silver Forest had on A Yin's growth. Even if each of her countless subjects contributed just a fraction of their cultivation energy to her, it would still far surpass what she could gain by staying with him.

"If you're so touched, then stop getting on my nerves," A Yin retorted, rolling her eyes resentfully. She extended a tendril and wrapped it possessively around Ye Qiu's waist.

Though she no longer needed a physical connection to see and hear him, she still preferred being close. Besides, she was determined to keep this scoundrel's belt properly fastened.

"Haha," Ye Qiu chuckled softly. "It gets boring wearing the same expression every day, doesn't it? Isn't it good to have some emotional variety?"

"You always twist things to suit yourself," A Yin muttered under her breath, though she had to admit, it did feel refreshing, full of life.

Ye Qiu smiled but said nothing more.

A Yin's presence was essential. Without her, Tang Hao might lose his temper and attack him. Not only would they lose the hundred-thousand-year soul beast, but Ye Qiu's path to becoming a proper villain would be severely compromised.

Pure Blue Silver Grass couldn't sustain long-term cultivation. Its limits were fixed. Tang Hao wasn't stupid.

A sudden gust of wind stirred the air. Ye Qiu's winged silhouette flickered in and out of view mid-air. With a powerful flap of his wings, he glided down to the ground.

*Thump!*

His feet landed, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The combination of "Concealment with the World" and the Blue Silver Domain's invisibility was remarkably effective. As long as he avoided sudden movements that disrupted the airflow, even flying soul beasts couldn't detect his presence.

Ye Qiu retracted his wings, stretched his limbs, and plunged into the Star Dou Great Forest.

He had to play the part convincingly.

Besides, Ye Qiu wanted to test the Eight Spider Lances' absorption ability on a soul beast.

With his exceptional perception, Ye Qiu remembered the route he'd taken earlier with perfect clarity, navigating it as easily as a familiar path.

***

The setting sun cast its golden glow over the small town where Ye Qiu and his companions had arrived.

As dusk approached, the road between the Star Dou Great Forest and the town was filled with travelers returning home—some in small groups, others in larger bands, and still others walking alone.

The previous night, Oscar and Tang San had successfully obtained their third Soul Rings.

Oscar's Soul Ring came from a Devil Chili Tree with approximately 1,400 years of cultivation. His third Soul Skill was the Excited Spicy Sausage. Consuming it would induce a state of heightened excitement, increasing attack power, speed, and resistance to negative status effects by 10%. The downside, of course, was its extreme spiciness—the kind that burns all the way through.

Tang San's third Soul Ring came from a Poisonous Viper with approximately 1,500 years of cultivation. His acquired Soul Skill was Blue Silver Entanglement Kill, an enhanced version of Blue Silver Entanglement. It was poisonous, exceptionally resilient, and possessed immense strength, further enhancing his control capabilities.

After they finished absorbing their Soul Rings, Zhao Wuji led them on a few hours of exploration before finally bringing them out of the forest.

Now, the Shrek party had just emerged from the forest. After washing up, they gathered around the dining table, but the recent events had dampened their spirits.

Tang San's body had mostly recovered after receiving medical treatment, though a lingering ache persisted in his face.

Ning Rongrong gazed longingly at the door, her heart filled with anticipation.

This time, Zhao Wuji also sat at the table. As the waiter placed the dishes on the table, Zhao Wuji sighed deeply and said in a somber voice, "Alright, everyone, let's eat and drink. No one wanted this to happen."

*Bang!*

"Ye Qiu!"

Zhao Wuji's words were cut short.

Ning Rongrong, who had been staring intently at the door, suddenly stood up and called out. The worry and sorrow in her eyes instantly transformed into overwhelming joy.

Hearing this, the Shrek students' expressions changed. They immediately turned to look, and there he was—Ye Qiu had returned. But he was a far cry from his former spirited self. He looked utterly disheveled, covered in dust and grime, his clothes torn and bloodstained. A faint metallic scent of blood hung in the air around him.

Like a living corpse, he strode into the inn, ignoring everything around him, and headed straight for the counter.

"You damn liar! You're finally back!" Ning Rongrong exclaimed excitedly, taking a few steps forward and reaching out to greet him.

Ye Qiu paused at her voice, glanced back at her, then dismissed her as if she were nothing. He turned, checked in, and silently climbed the stairs to the second floor.

Wishing everyone a pleasant life!
