Ye Qiu also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it was early morning, a time when yang energy is just beginning to rise, and this whole ordeal had made him extremely angry!
"Glug...glug!" He gulped down several mouthfuls of cold water, which made him feel a little better.
"Are you sure you don't need any water?" He handed her the water bottle as a gesture of inquiry.
"I do." Her voice was clear and melodious, yet it was also unapproachable.
Seeing Ye Qiu directly put the spout to her lips, Zhu Yeqing couldn't help but stop him, "What are you doing! You used this!"
Hearing this, Ye Qiu rolled his eyes, "It's okay, I used that bottle before too."
"You...uh! Glug glug..."
Seeing that she was about to say something more, Ye Qiu didn't want to listen anymore and directly shoved the spout into her mouth, even thoughtfully wiping it with his sleeve before doing so.
"Cough cough." Caught off guard, Zhu Yeqing choked on the water and coughed uncontrollably, "Cough cough...you bastard!"
She glared at him angrily.
"I don't care, let her glare." Ye Qiu expressionlessly wiped the spout of the kettle clean and put it away.
He then took a towel from the basin.
"What else do you want to do! I'm already clean!" Zhu Yeqing's face showed panic, thinking she had met the wrong person.
"You stand... um~"
Before she could finish speaking, Ye Qiu used both hands to hold the towel and pressed it against her cheeks, squeezing her mouth into an O-shape, only her tongue could be seen moving, but no sound could be heard.
"It seems your medicine is working well, in such a short time, you've become much more fluent!"
Ye Qiu sat cross-legged above her head, cupped her face on his knees, and slowly lowered his head to look at her.
"However... you'd better talk less now, obediently wash your face!"
After releasing her cheeks, she didn't say anything more, she could feel the slight warmth of his breath on her face, making her skin burn.
But not wanting to show her weakness, she stared intently at Ye Qiu until she felt embarrassed, then closed her eyes.
"I said, don't breathe so heavily, okay? Don't reopen the wound on your chest!"
"You!" Her dark eyes were filled with shame and anger.
"Alright, just put your clothes on, that'll be fine!"
"Put on clothes?!"
"What, do you want to stay naked? I don't mind."
"Go to hell! Help me put them on later, and keep your eyes clear, or I'll really kill you!"
"Just stop crying, girls crying is such a hassle!"
"Damn it, this...this thing is on backwards!" Zhu Yeqing cried out in shame and anger. She clearly had a model on her chest, yet he still put it on backwards. The killing intent in her eyes could kill Ye Qiu several times over.
...
Not far from the cave,
Canbao and the others were slowly approaching.
In the air, a Soul Master with the ability to fly descended, responsible for reconnaissance at low altitude. "Big Brother, we found a cave ahead, there's some blood at the entrance!"
"Let's go!" With a command, Canbao led his remaining dozen or so men towards the cave
. A short while later, a series of screams erupted from the cave
...
Ye Qiu and his companion were at
the cave. After much effort, Ye Qiu finally managed to pull up her pants, their mission accomplished. It
was almost noon.
"Gurgle~"
"Hmm? Zhu Yeqing, did you hear anything?" Ye Qiu racked his brains, worried he might be hallucinating again.
"No, I didn't hear anything!" She placed a hand on her lower abdomen, her face flushed.
"Really nothing?" He had indeed heard something.
"No, no!" Zhu Yeqing denied it again.
Looking at her blushing face, Ye Qiu was bewildered.
He was certain this time it wasn't a hallucination! His Sharingan appeared, his pupils turning purple, his vision piercing through the rock wall, revealing the horrific scene in the distance.
"Shadow Spider Swarm! And a Soul Master?" What appeared in Ye Qiu's vision was none other than Canbao's group.

"What are you saying?" Zhu Yeqing looked at him strangely.
Ye Qiu withdrew his gaze and explained, "Not far from us, a group of unlucky guys have broken into the nest of the Shadow Spiders and are running this way."
Zhu Yeqing was startled! 'Could it be them?'
"By the way, how did you know?" Zhu Yeqing was somewhat skeptical.
"My martial soul, the Sharingan!" Ye Qiu pointed to his eyes and introduced them to her.
"You have the ability to see through things?"
"Yes!"
"Pah~ What a lewd thing!" Zhu Yeqing spat lightly, calling Ye Qiu vulgar.
Ye Qiu covered his face; he shouldn't have blurted out that ability.
"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. Let's get out of here quickly and get some game later to fill our stomachs!"
"Gurgle~" As soon as Ye Qiu finished speaking, a sound came from Zhu Yeqing's stomach.
Looking at her in surprise, her face flushed with embarrassment, Ye Qiu finally understood why she had been so hesitant when he asked her if she had heard anything.
It turned out her stomach was rumbling.
"Since you're hungry, let's leave soon!" Ye Qiu swept her up in his arms, and Zhu Yeqing wrapped her arms around his neck, her eyes darting away.
A red glint flashed in his eyes as he retrieved everything he had taken out earlier into his Divine Might Space.
Zhu Yeqing stared blankly as the items disappeared before her eyes, looking at him strangely. She really didn't know how big this guy's soul tool was, even carrying a bed with him!
Ye Qiu didn't want to explain anything. He wasn't stupid enough to explain his soul skills to others. After all, while Divine Might was buggy, it wasn't invincible. Better safe than sorry.
Holding his sister in his arms, he entered the jungle again.
...
"Mountain Eagle! You bastard, is this the cave you were talking about?!" The angry voice of the leopard turned into a roar!
Because of incorrect information, they had stumbled upon a spider's nest and were already surrounded by several thousand-year-old soul beasts.
At least half of the people they brought had perished here.
"Big Brother, the Mountain Eagle has been completely devoured."
"Damn it!"
"Everyone, follow me and break through with me! As many as you can escape!"
With a command from Canbao, the remaining eight or nine people immediately followed closely behind him. His
gloomy eyes searched for a breakthrough, and finally, a shadow spider, seemingly a thousand years old, leaped into his view.
"Everyone! Stay close! Sato, attack together!"
"Understood, Big Brother! Third Soul Skill, Death Coil!"
The man named Sato's third soul ring flashed, and several thick, barbed vines tightly bound the soul beast.
"Third and fourth Soul Skills, Residual Blood, Soul-Hooking Claws!"
Canbao sprang up, two soul rings, one yellow and one purple, lighting up one after the other, instantly activating amplification and single-target attack soul skills!
Sharp claws pierced the shadow spider's keratin layer and penetrated its brain.
"Roar~" The shadow spider let out a mournful cry before crashing to the ground!
"Everyone, go!"
Second Soul Skill, Dash! Amplified by his speed-enhancing soul skill, Canbao took the lead and broke through the encirclement!
Sato and the others followed closely behind.
"Ugh!" "Big brother, save me!"
Finally, after leaving behind two more corpses, the remaining seven were able to escape safely. Their
retreat direction coincided perfectly with Ye Qiu's!
A Soul Master team led by a Soul Master had already lost three-quarters of its members since entering this area, demonstrating the extreme danger of the Star Dou Great Forest!
