"Alright, Zhuqing, let's go."
Very quickly, Ye Qiu and the others finished signing up. Ning Rongrong called out to Zhu Zhuqing and headed toward the waiting area.
"Mm."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded and followed.
Dai Mubai stuck close like sticky taffy, walking beside them, looking at Ye Qiu and Ning Rongrong with some surprise.
"Ye Qiu, you two signed up for the two-person battle?"
"What's wrong with that?"
Ye Qiu nodded slightly.
Dai Mubai frowned and reminded him:"You should understand the rules of the Soul Arena. What's waiting for you is a dual Soul Sect arena."
After pausing, Dai Mubai raised a hand and pointed at Ning Rongrong.
"And you're sure you want to bring this burden?"
"Hey! You lecherous cat, who are you calling a burden?!"
Before Ye Qiu could speak, Ning Rongrong couldn't hold back.
She, the dignified eldest miss of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, the owner of the world's number-one auxiliary martial soul, with innate soul power level nine—someone actually dared to call her a burden?!
Ridiculous. Outrageous. Absolutely laughable!
Zhu Zhuqing's eyebrows knitted together.
Ning Rongrong's nickname for Dai Mubai made her feel uncomfortable—This was practically an insult to cats.
"Heh, whoever's only at level twenty-something, that's who I'm talking about."
Dai Mubai sneered.
"You—!"
Ning Rongrong's face flushed red.
Zhu Zhuqing's body also trembled lightly, and the gaze she gave Dai Mubai turned ice-cold to the bone.
Burden?So that was the reason he abandoned her back when leaving the Star Luo Empire, right?!Even now, Dai Mubai still thought that way.
She heard it loud and clear.
Zhu Zhuqing bit her thin lip, her expression filled with silent ridicule.
She had thought Dai Mubai came close recently because he still had some fighting spirit left.Now it seemed…
He was nothing more than lusting after her beauty.
Ye Qiu noticed Zhu Zhuqing's expression and laughed internally.This Dai Mubai really knew how to talk. If he could speak like this more often, all the better.
This way…
It would become far easier for Zhu Zhuqing to leave with him later.
Ye Qiu wrapped an arm around Ning Rongrong's shoulder, patting her, then said to Dai Mubai in a clear voice:
"Relax. I can cover her."
Ning Rongrong shrank against Ye Qiu's shoulder, subconsciously leaning closer. Feeling that still wasn't enough, she rose on tiptoes and looped an arm around Ye Qiu's shoulder.
She raised her head with a mocking smile.
"Did you hear that?"
"This lying bastard says he can cover me. Just because you can't do it doesn't mean other people can't."
Ning Rongrong repeated Dai Mubai's exact words from their second entrance exam back at him, word for word.
"You—hmph!"
Dai Mubai's expression turned ugly.
Ye Qiu had spoken.What could he do now?
He could only let out a frustrated snort, inwardly annoyed, thinking Ye Qiu was far too arrogant and overconfident.
Ma Hongjun, even with Ning Rongrong's buff, couldn't beat Meng Yiran.What more when facing two Soul Sects who might both be stronger than Ye Qiu?
Zhu Zhuqing didn't listen anymore.
Her steps quickened, and she walked ahead alone.
"Zhuqing—"
Dai Mubai was startled awake by that coldness. He paused for half a second before realizing he had said the wrong thing.
He hurried to catch up.
"Zhuqing, listen to me explain… I wasn't talking about you."
"I don't want to hear it."
Zhu Zhuqing rejected him coldly.
"Alright, let's go too."
Ye Qiu laughed lightly, still holding Ning Rongrong's shoulder as he walked inward.
"You—you let go of me first."
Ning Rongrong shook her shoulder, pushing Ye Qiu away. Under her mask, her beautiful face was tinted red.
"Hmph, pervert."
"Hey! Weren't you the one hanging onto my shoulder a moment ago?"
Ye Qiu looked at her innocently.
"S-so what? I'm a girl…"
Ning Rongrong puffed up her chest slightly, glared at Ye Qiu, then turned and walked off—very quickly.
"Tsk."
Ye Qiu chuckled and cracked his knuckles.
"Just watch how I scare you later."
——
After that brief quarrel, the four of them entered the waiting area one after another.
Not long after—
Ye Qiu heard their names announced from the stage: the Qiu-Rong Pair.Their opponents were a team called Yun-Yao.
With the host's commentary, it quickly became public knowledge that the Qiu-Rong Pair had a Grandmaster-level auxiliary soul master on their team.
Meanwhile, their opponents—
Were shockingly both soul power level forty-nine Soul Sects.
Dai Mubai snorted quietly.
Two Soul Sects at level forty-nine.He absolutely did not believe Ye Qiu could win.
"Ning Rongrong, let's go."
Ye Qiu got up with a smile.Opponents of this level were just his style.
"Oh—coming."
Ning Rongrong's heart was pounding.
But when she saw Ye Qiu's calm, breezy expression, she steadied herself again.
This lying bastard would definitely not let her suffer!
"Rongrong, be careful."
Zhu Zhuqing frowned, looking worried.
"Don't worry, Zhuqing. This lying bastard will definitely take me to victory. Then someone will finally see what real strength looks like!"
Ning Rongrong raised a small fist and, at the end of her words, shot a disdainful look at Dai Mubai.
"Hmph!"
Ignoring Dai Mubai's darkened face, Ning Rongrong let out a snort, leaving him her pretty back view as she jogged toward Ye Qiu.
"Lying bastard, let's go."
She grabbed Ye Qiu's arm and pulled him toward the entrance tunnel.
"You that nervous?"
Ye Qiu shot her a look—she was gripping him painfully tight.
"A little…"
Ning Rongrong lowered her head guiltily, clutching his clothes as she whispered nervously:"So… lying bastard, can you actually win?"
"Of course I can win."
Ye Qiu directly wrapped an arm around her shoulders and walked forward with long strides.
"I could win on my own. With you, I'll win even more beautifully."
"R-really?!"
Ning Rongrong was both excited and terrified.
"You better not lie to me. Getting knocked flat on the stage… is really embarrassing."
"Don't believe me then."
Ye Qiu rolled his eyes.
"Believe! Of course I believe you."
Ning Rongrong pouted.
She was just nervous because she would have to take action herself later.
…
On the battle stage—
Ye Qiu walked out with an arm around Ning Rongrong's shoulders.
Their opponents, the Yun-Yao Pair, were two beautiful middle-aged women.
One wore her long hair in a single ponytail and clad herself in red armor, heroic and valiant.
The other wore a light green dress, with deer-horn ornaments in her hair, clear-eyed and elegant.
Both were quite the sight.
"Fifth match of the two-on-two bracket: Yun-Yao Pair versus Qiu-Rong Pair!"
"Both sides—release your martial souls!"
At the host's command, the two women across from them immediately summoned their martial souls.
"Hong Ying, martial soul Fire-Tassel Spear, level forty-nine assault-type battle soul master!"
"Lu Yao, martial soul Spirit Deer Staff, level forty-nine auxiliary-type battle soul master!"
As the words fell—
A long spear appeared in Hong Ying's hand, and a deer-spirit staff appeared in Lu Yao's hand. Beneath their feet: yellow, yellow, purple, purple—four perfectly standard soul rings.
Ye Qiu and Ning Rongrong summoned their martial souls as well.
Venom Form.
Yellow, yellow, purple, black—four rings unfolded beneath him.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda shone brilliantly.
Two yellow rings circled that radiant pagoda.
Seeing Ye Qiu's soul ring configuration, Hong Ying was slightly shocked—but Ning Rongrong's level made her want to laugh.
As expected, a Grandmaster!
"Little girl, this isn't a place for lovey-dovey flirting."
"Hmph! W-who's flirting with him…"
Ning Rongrong stiffened her neck, refuting sharply, though she kept secretly glancing at Ye Qiu.
"Haha, the little girl is so shy. Do you need us to go easy on you later?"Lu Yao spoke with a gentle smile, extremely approachable.
Wishing everyone a pleasant life!
