"Damn it!" Can Bao lived a life on the edge every day, how could it be this kid's turn to look down on him!

One by one? He wasn't stupid!

"Sato! You cover me from the back!"

"Understood, Big Brother!"

Receiving the response, Can Bao immediately activated his Spirit and attacked Ye Qiu!

Leopard patterns slowly climbed his body, and four spirit rings—white, yellow, yellow, and purple—flickered beneath him.

Ye Qiu's face showed a serious expression. This guy was not easy to deal with. He had to play some tricks. His left Sharingan quietly activated.

'An invisible attack?' Can Bao only felt a sharp pain in his neck, and immediately activated his Second Soul Skill, Dash! He dodged and once again charged at Ye Qiu.

The vines controlled by Sato also shot towards Ye Qiu from all directions.

"Don't resist!" Seeing his attack miss, Ye Qiu said to Zhu Zhuqing.

"Mm."

A vortex appeared, and Zhu Zhuqing disappeared from everyone's sight!

Disappeared! Can Bao's pupils constricted. What on earth was going on?

"Never mind! Fourth Soul Skill, Soul-Reaping Ghost Claw! Die!" In this situation, it was either him or me! There was no turning back once the arrow was shot, just do it!

"Third Soul Skill, Death Binding!" Sato also activated his Spirit Ability to restrict Ye Qiu's movements.

However,

As the attacks landed on Ye Qiu's body, cold sweat trickled down Can Bao's forehead, and his eyes were filled with shock!

Pop!

Vines and sharp claws passed through Ye Qiu's body as if through a tattered cloth, without any obstruction.

Bang! Can Bao's sharp claws shattered Sato's vines.

Watching Ye Qiu pass through him and disappear before his eyes, Can Bao's heart trembled. How similar was this scene?

"Sato! Be careful!" He turned his head, shouting at Ye Qiu's retreating back, quickly stopping his charge and running towards Sato.

"Kid, come on!" Sato controlled the vines, constantly trying to hinder Ye Qiu, but unfortunately, in front of Divine Might, all attacks were pierced through, hitting nothing!

Whoosh! A sharp arrow broke through the air, piercing towards Sato's throat.

Clang! Can Bao finally caught up, deflecting the arrow with a claw.

Ye Qiu glanced at Sato, a slight smile on his lips, and promptly retreated.

"Kid, how about we stop here for now?" Can Bao's face was grim, trying to make peace.

"No way!" Ye Qiu shook his head. Letting them go would only bring him trouble. Dead people were the most reliable.

"Do you really want to fight to the death?"

"Fight to the death? Are you worthy?" Ye Qiu looked at the two of them mockingly, a cruel smile on his lips, "Your spirit power is almost at its limit, isn't it?"

Their internal spirit power had nowhere to hide in front of the Sharingan.

"Kid, two against one, we might not be without a chance!" Can Bao's face was grim, but secretly he was slowly recovering his spirit power. What peace talks? All nonsense! Delaying time was the real goal.

"Two against one? Tsk tsk tsk…" He shook his head, amused, "It's you who's one against two!"

"What do you mean…"

"Pfft!"

Before Can Bao could finish his sentence, he felt a sharp pain in his chest and looked down in shock to see a hard vine piercing through his chest.

"There, that's what I mean!" Ye Qiu pointed at his chest.

"Sato… You!" Turning his head back unwillingly, he couldn't understand why his brother would stab him in the back!

Pfft! "Ugh…" The vine was violently pulled out, spraying a large amount of blood. Finally… Can Bao passed away with an expression of bewilderment.

At this moment, Sato stood there motionless, like a puppet.

"Controlling a Spirit Ancestor is not possible, but a Spirit Elder is…" Ye Qiu rubbed his somewhat swollen and aching eyes.

"End yourself!"

As the words fell, Sato did not move, his face filled with struggle.

Did he sense the danger? Ye Qiu frowned. It seemed the depth of the illusion was not profound.

In that case, he would just have to send Sato on his way personally.

Pfft! A sleeve arrow pierced his throat. Just as he was about to die with regret, Sato also regained consciousness at the very end. He looked at the scene before him in confusion. When did Big Brother...? Why was he so tired?

Bang! He fell to the ground, a dazzling blood flower blooming.

"Phew!" Looking at the surrounding blood, Ye Qiu also felt a slight dizziness. After the battle, the pungent smell of blood indeed made him uncomfortable.

He retrieved the Great Horned Ox Spirit Beast, which was originally intended for lunch but unexpectedly became a meat shield. A vortex appeared, and Ye Qiu also disappeared from the spot.

In the Divine Might Space, Zhu Zhuqing lay motionless on the cold ground. She didn't know where this was, and the empty space made her feel fear.

Fortunately, there was also a beautiful Blue Silver Grass accompanying her.

"I wonder how he's doing," Zhu Zhuqing murmured softly.

"It's already resolved!" Ye Qiu's figure suddenly appeared beside her, looking down at her.

"Ah!" His sudden appearance startled her. "Are you… are you okay?"

"Do I look like I'm not okay?"

"Your face is covered in blood. I… I can't tell…" She sheepishly averted her gaze.

"Mm, your face is also covered in blood, and there's a handprint! Looks like I'll have to put medicine on you again."

Facing Ye Qiu's teasing, she glanced at him, said nothing more, and turned her head away, blushing.

Ye Qiu also squatted down and picked her up.

"Thank you, thank you for saving me again!" Her voice was soft but very gentle.

"Mm, you're welcome. I'm quite touched that you're willing to exchange your purity for my life!"

"Is that… is that all?" Zhu Zhuqing looked up at him, not understanding why she was a little dissatisfied with this answer.

"Otherwise? Because you're pretty?" Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow. Although there was a bit of that, it wasn't the main reason, okay?

Their eyes met, and Zhu Zhuqing immediately dodged away. Only then did she realize that all around them were square stone platforms, stretching as far as the eye could see.

"What is this place?" Driven by curiosity, she still asked.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!" Ye Qiu's voice was a little cold. There was a reason why he hadn't put her into the Divine Might Space before. What if she, like Brother Kakashi, stabbed Ye Qiu in here? He couldn't afford to gamble.

"I'm sorry!"

"It's fine!"

A vortex appeared, and Ye Qiu brought her to another stone platform. This was the living area. After placing her on the bed, Ye Qiu drew some water from a large water tank nearby to wash his face.

Only then did Zhu Zhuqing realize that he didn't have any spirit tools on him. All those things were taken out from here. She looked at Ye Qiu's back strangely.

After cleaning himself up, Ye Qiu sat by the bed again, holding a wet towel, and helped her wipe her small face.

"Miss Zhu Ye Qing, aren't you going to reintroduce yourself?"

Looking at Ye Qiu, who was diligently wiping away the bloodstains with his head down, Zhu Zhuqing inexplicably felt a hint of warmth and stared at him motionlessly.

"I… I'm Zhu Zhuqing, from the Zhu family of the Star Luo Empire. My Spirit is the Hell Civet, a Level 20, one-ring Spirit Master! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to deceive you."

"Understood! After all, you were being hunted down~"

"Hiss~" The towel touched her cracked lip, and she grimaced, asking Ye Qiu, "What level are you exactly? You can actually defeat a Spirit Ancestor, and even several Spirit Elders!"

"The same as you, Level 20, one-ring Spirit Master."

"How is that possible!"

"That's the fact!"

...

During a session of questions and answers, Ye Qiu once again gave her a full body massage.

Ye Qiu's gaze swept over her chest, and it was no wonder he didn't recognize her. "She's clearly about the same age as me, but she's developed so quickly…"

"Ye Qiu, shut up!" Zhu Zhuqing gritted her teeth, her face flushed. She was completely naked right now! "Don't look, *ing*…"

"Huff huff…" Zhu Zhuqing breathed heavily, feeling that she was becoming strange. Why hadn't she reacted so strongly before?

The previous anger and humiliation seemed to have faded considerably… Her eyes rippled with water as she quietly watched Ye Qiu wipe her legs.

"Ing… Mm…" She bit her teeth tightly, unwilling to make a sound. Her body was as if scalded, showing an abnormal redness.

This time, Ye Qiu was experienced. He dressed himself smoothly, not needing any guidance at all!
