"Yu Tianheng! I told you, don't call me Yanzi!"
Before Ye Qiu could even respond, an impatient voice rang out.
Dugu Yan had already emerged from the room.
At this moment, her face appeared even paler, seemingly due to using her martial soul again. She
coldly glanced at Yu Tianheng, then walked to Ye Lingling's side.
"Yanzi, are you alright?"
"Lingling, I'm fine!"
Facing Ye Lingling's question, Dugu Yan shook her head, her voice softening.
"Yanzi...I...I was just worried about you in a moment of panic!"
Yu Tianheng forced a smile, his expression strained. Ye Qiu wondered
why he, the direct heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, had come here to suffer like this. "Worried about me?" A smile suddenly bloomed on Dugu Yan's face, her green eyes fixed on Ye Qiu. Under the watchful eyes of the others... Under the watchful eyes of everyone, and under Yu Tianheng's shocked, jealous, and hateful gaze, Ye Qiu felt a surge of intense pressure on his arm. Dugu Yan pressed herself against Ye Qiu's side, taking his arm and holding it close. She pressed her entire body against him. The warmth and softness beside her made Ye Qiu slightly stunned. Compared to the girls he had encountered before, her figure was undoubtedly the most outstanding. At sixteen or seventeen, she already stirred a storm in her heart . Pressed against Ye Qiu, holding his arm, Dugu Yan was not entirely calm either. The faint fragrance wafting from her nose improved her pale complexion somewhat. Looking at the still shocked Yu Tianheng, she wore a strange smile. "Your worries are unnecessary!" "Yanzi! What are you doing…" Ye Lingling's mind didn't quite catch on. "Can't you tell? She's already accepted Ye Qiu's advances." Seeing her puzzled look, Dugu Yan explained. At the same time, she tightened her grip on his arm, preventing Ye Qiu from taking his hand back. Ye Qiu's struggle sent a shiver down Dugu Yan's spine, and her face flushed crimson. She gripped his arm tightly in her arms, glancing at him with a sharp warning and a look of shame and anger in her eyes. "Cough cough." This sudden increase in pressure made Ye Qiu uncomfortable, and he dared not move. He looked at her in confusion, not understanding why she had said that. It wasn't until Yu Tianheng's roar rang out that he understood. It was all because of the guy in front of him. "Yanzi! How is this possible!" Yu Tianheng roared in disbelief. His eyes were fixed on Ye Qiu, especially his trapped arm. He wished he could cut it off and take its place! "Yanzi, you're lying to me, aren't you?!" Yu Tianheng wasn't completely stupid; he immediately realized this. He looked at her hopefully. Hearing this, Ye Lingling beside him finally showed a look of understanding. Looking at her best friend, her pink earlobes were hidden by her purplish-green hair. This sacrifice was too great! "Liar?" Dugu Yan resisted the urge to remove Ye Qiu's hand, gently leaning her head towards him, her long purplish-green hair cascading over his shoulder. "We already agreed that I'd take him to see my grandfather!" "See Senior Dugu? How is that possible!" Yu Tianheng's face turned green. He'd tried for months, and she'd been completely indifferent to him. What did this newcomer have that made him so special! They'd only been alone in a room for a short time, and he'd already won Dugu Yan's favor and was going to meet her parents!? He looked at Ye Qiu coldly, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes! If he dared to get in the way, he'd have to send Ye Qiu on his way. "What's impossible about it? Don't you think so, Ye Qiu~" She leaned close to Ye Qiu's ear, her voice completely different from her usual coldness. "Uh... Dugu...!" Ye Qiu gasped, the words barely out of his mouth. Seeing that Ye Qiu wasn't cooperating much, Dugu Yan grabbed his arm and tightened her grip slightly.
Meanwhile, unseen by others, Dugu Yan's lips moved slightly up and down.
A soft voice, audible only to Ye Qiu, rang in his ear.
Strands of hair and warm breath tickled his earlobe.
'Help me get rid of him, and I'll take you to see my grandfather right away!'
Looking at Ye Qiu's slightly reddened ears, Dugu Yan couldn't help but feel a little smug.
Wasn't this a manifestation of her charm?
Ye Qiu had anticipated her request, a wry smile playing on his lips.
To get the immortal herb sooner, he had no choice but to make things difficult for Yu Tianheng!
He exhaled a breath of warm air and nodded almost imperceptibly.
He glanced at Yu Tianheng, who was glaring at him angrily.
Noticing his face burning, and
to make the performance more natural,
the power of the Blue Silver Emperor surged from his heart. The warm, calm, and gentle power slowly flowed through Ye Qiu's limbs and bones.
The unnatural heat in his body gradually disappeared.
Along with him, Dugu Yan also caught a whiff of his scent.
It seemed to alleviate her pain, and her complexion improved considerably, causing her to instinctively move even closer to him.
Seeing the two practically glued together, Yu Tianheng nearly ground his teeth to powder!
Ye Lingling also looked at her best friend in surprise, not understanding why she was 'rewarding' Ye Qiu like this.
After being cleansed by the power of the Blue Silver Emperor, Ye Qiu
's expression remained unchanged, as if Dugu Yan beside him was nothing more than a painted skeleton.
Well, only the tips of her ears still had a little color. That little bit of color was insignificant!
"Yan Yan is right! We're about to meet the parents now," he said,
his gaze sweeping over Yu Tianheng, whose eyes were gradually darkening, before meeting Dugu Yan's eyes and smiling slightly.
His handsome face, adorned with a noble and gentle smile, stirred something within Dugu Yan, causing her eyes to dart away.
"Damn it! How is this possible!"
As the direct heir of one of the three upper sects, he was certainly not a novice. He clearly saw the fleeting look of excitement on Dugu Yan's face just now.
Ye Qiu took the opportunity to pull his hand away and hold Dugu Yan's soft hand in his, their fingers intertwined.
Then he waved it in front of Yu Tianheng.
"See! Nothing is impossible! Yan Yan has already promised me. If there's nothing else, please don't bother my Yan Yan anymore."
"If you come again, it will be impolite!" Ye Qiu said.
Hearing him repeatedly refer to her as "Yan Yan" and "my Yan Yan," Dugu Yan blushed and clenched her fist tightly.
Ye Lingling also stared blankly at Ye Qiu and the other man, and seeing the two trying to appear calm, a beautiful smile curved her lips under her veil.
Crackling! Electricity crackled around Yu Tianheng, who was on the verge of exploding.
He had been here, humbled for so long, and hadn't completed a single task assigned by the sect!
"Yu Tianheng, is it? I advise you to leave now. Yan Yan is mine! You don't deserve her!"
Ye Qiu's back was drenched in sweat after saying this.
Dugu Yan gripped his clasped hands tightly, the grip painful.
"Yan Yan! I... let's go!"
Enduring the pain, Ye Qiu pulled Dugu Yan away, not daring to say another word.
They had barely turned and gone a short distance when Yu Tianheng, unable to bear it any longer, unleashed his fury.
Lightning crackled around him, his martial soul manifesting, his right hand transforming into a dragon!
"Boy! You're courting death!!"
He roared, the first yellow soul ring flashing on his right arm, a massive dragon claw reaching towards Ye Qiu's back!
"Yu Tianheng! Are you insane? Ye Qiu! Watch out!"
Ye Lingling's cry came too late.
Just as Ye Qiu and Dugu Yan were about to turn around, the lightning-formed dragon claw was already upon them!
"Not good!" Dugu Yan cried out in alarm. She hadn't expected Yu Tianheng to dare attack, and it was too late to react.
Boom!
"Wild Goose!"
The dragon's claw slammed down with a deafening roar, sending dust billowing into the sky.
Ye Lingling's startled cry was drowned out, and Yu Feng, Shi Mo, and the others finally turned their attention to this side.
"What happened?!"
"Heh heh~" Yu Tianheng let out a cold laugh.
A blinding flash of blood-red light appeared in the smoke.
