Feeling the warm palm on her wrist.
The slight annoyance in Ning Rongrong's heart had not yet erupted before it crumbled under Ye Qiu's actions.
Ye Qiu's use of the Blue Silver Emperor's Spirit Ability seemed much more effective than Xiao Lan's.
In just an instant, Ning Rongrong's complexion gained a lot of color, becoming rosy and radiant.
Her averted head slowly lowered, unsure of what to do, her pearly teeth gently biting the chopsticks.
"Tha-thank you~"
"It's nothing. Thank you for helping me take care of Xiao Lan. After we finish eating, you should go rest for a bit!"
"Mm~"
As she gently nodded, Xiao Lan, who was beside her, couldn't stand it!
Why should she wipe her hands on herself, dirtying herself, just to please her!?
She glared at Ye Qiu, who was still looking at Ning Rongrong, but her head then dipped under Ning Rongrong's lowered head.
"Hehe~ Brother! Sister Rongrong's face is so red!"
As if discovering something rare, Xiao Lan poked Ning Rongrong's tender cheek with her finger and said to Ye Qiu.
"Xiao Lan! You, you're talking nonsense!"
At her words, Ning Rongrong raised her head coquettishly, her beautiful eyes filled with a captivating gaze, glaring at Xiao Lan!
Her blushing face, however, was seen clearly by Ye Qiu. The color on her cheeks seemed to want to escape, spreading downwards, even her neck becoming tinged with pink.
"Ye, Ye Qiu..."
Her eyes lifted slightly to glance at Ye Qiu, then immediately shifted away, lowering her head again.
"Brother~ Sister Rongrong wouldn't be ha-oof~"
Ye Qiu frowned, directly picked up a piece of pastry, and stuffed it into Xiao Lan's mouth.
"Eat your food properly. Why are you talking so much!"
Ning Rongrong's peripheral vision glanced at Xiao Lan, feeling a mix of anger and regret in her heart. How good it would be if she could have said it.
She then rolled her eyes at Ye Qiu, this block of wood, with a hint of resentment in her eyes.
"Cough cough~!"
Ye Qiu also noticed Ning Rongrong's gaze on him and awkwardly coughed twice.
One hand held her soft hand, and the other held chopsticks, adding dishes to her bowl.
"Brother~ Mmm!"
Seeing Xiao Lan about to speak again, Ye Qiu didn't even look at her, stuffing another piece of pastry into her mouth.
He paid no mind to the tears welling up in her eyes.
"Miss Rongrong, you've worked hard taking care of Xiao Lan, eat more!"
"Mm~ Pfft, hehe..."
Ning Rongrong nodded, and seeing Xiao Lan in Ye Qiu's arms, glaring at herself like a hamster, she couldn't help but chuckle softly.
"Hmph hmph... That's what you get for being a big mouth!"
As she spoke, she picked up a pastry, intending to imitate Ye Qiu and stuff her mouth.
"Mmm~" Xiao Lan swallowed hard, shaking her head continuously, trying to call for help but unable to make a sound.
"Uh, Miss Rongrong, let's just forget it! Don't make her sick..."
Ye Qiu saw Xiao Lan's tearful, pitiful appearance and spoke up to stop her.
"Hmph! Then Miss will let her off!"
As she withdrew her hand, the shyness in her eyes was mixed with slyness. She took the opportunity to break free from Ye Qiu's hand, then quickly intertwined her fingers with his again.
Noticing Ye Qiu's gaze on her, her earlobes, though flushed, she did not let go. She lowered her head, silently eating the dishes Ye Qiu had served her.
When Ye Qiu looked away, a triumphant smile spilled from the corner of her mouth, and the dishes in her mouth seemed much more delicious.
"Here, quickly drink some water to wash it down!"
Although a little uncomfortable, Ye Qiu didn't pay too much attention to his held hand. In his other hand, he held a cup and brought it to Xiao Lan's mouth.
"Gulp~ gulp!"
"Ah! Xiao Lan's going to suffocate!"
With a long face and pouting lips, she looked at her rotten brother, who forgot his sister for beauty, but dared not speak recklessly again.
"Alright! Don't be angry, mwah!"
Rarely, to prevent her from causing trouble, Ye Qiu actively touched Xiao Lan's forehead.
Although the sacrifice was not small, the effect was indeed very good!
"Hehe~ Brother is the best!"
Covering her forehead, her expression changed like flipping a book.
She threw herself into Ye Qiu's arms, wriggling her soft body, and snuggled against him.
Remembering how Ning Rongrong had tried to bully her just now, she suddenly smiled strangely.
She deliberately glanced at Ning Rongrong with a triumphant look, her eyes full of provocation.
Seeing this, Miss Ning frowned and turned to look at Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu also looked at her.
Ning Rongrong suppressed her shyness, her eyes filled with a charming glow and anticipation, and she slightly leaned her face closer.
"Uh..." Faced with this situation, Ye Qiu was a bit flustered, his gaze flickering uncertainly.
Just as he didn't know what to do, Xiao Lan's voice came through.
"Brother! Xiao Lan wants to eat that~"
Ye Qiu, in a moment of quick thinking, could only pretend not to see and put food into Xiao Lan's bowl.
"Here, Xiao Lan, this is delicious!"
"Thank you, Brother! Mwah~"
"Hiss~" Ye Qiu, who was pretending not to see, suddenly changed his expression. Ning Rongrong's grip on his hand suddenly tightened.
"Brother~ What's wrong? Is Sister Rongrong unhappy that you're serving Xiao Lan food~"
Xiao Lan's eyeballs were almost squeezed out of the corners of her eyes as she squinted at Ning Rongrong, eating the dish Ye Qiu had served her in one bite.
"Ah wuu~ So delicious!"
"Hmph!" Thump!
Ning Rongrong snorted coldly, forcefully poking the fish in her bowl, as if stabbing Xiao Lan.
"Hehe..." Ye Qiu forced a smile and added more dishes for Ning Rongrong.
He lowered his head and glared at the smug Xiao Lan. This fellow, after a few days apart, how did she become so manipulative?
While Ye Qiu was still dealing with the two of them...
Far away, on a distant tower spire from this small courtyard.
Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo stood there, their clothes flapping in the wind.
"Fengzhi, should we go ask Ye Qiu why that little girl's Spirit changed?"
"No need! Uncle Bone. Rongrong has been with that little girl all along and hasn't discovered anything..."
Speaking of Ning Rongrong, Ning Fengzhi felt a little sour inside.
He, as her father, had never experienced such an obedient Rongrong!
"I didn't expect that Ye Qiu, this kid, would have another breakthrough in his spirit power after only being away for a few days!"
"If his Spirit wasn't his eyes, I would have wanted to take him as my disciple!"
Bone Douluo tugged at his few remaining whiskers. A Spirit with spatial attributes was extremely rare!
"Hehe... If things develop like this, with Rongrong around, I suppose he'll be pretty much like your disciple!"
Ning Fengzhi gave a bitter smile.
"Hmph hmph! You might be willing, but I'm not! He's still too weak right now." Bone Douluo was also very displeased. His pampered little princess hadn't come to play with him and 'Sword Person' for a long time.
"Uncle Bone, since he's already returned, then call back all the people we withdrew. And by the way, inform Qinghe to stop his efforts; the person has returned!"
"Mm, got it! I'll go do it now!"
After speaking, a dark black hole swallowed him, and Bone Douluo had vanished from his original spot.
Ning Fengzhi stood on the tower spire, blowing in the cool wind, feeling a bit disheveled.
His face twitched, and a bitter smile spilled from the corner of his mouth.
"Uncle Bone! You should at least remember to send me down!"
Flash!
A black hole suddenly appeared and swallowed him.
Bone Douluo's playful voice rang out.
"I'd forget anyone but you!"
