After speaking, Ye Qiu once again pinched Xiao Wu's tender face, and gave a teasing smile.
"You think so too, Xiao Wu?"
"Mhm... Everything Ye Qiu says is right."
Xiao Wu's face was flushed red. She nodded slightly, her heart beating a little faster. She now only hoped that Ye Qiu could bully her more. Then, she hoped he would push aside that fiancée and her gaze towards Ye Qiu was filled with shyness.
"A gift?"
Tang San looked at the two of them, who had suddenly become intimate. He was full of confusion. What kind of gift could make Xiao Wu so excited that her face was flushed red?!
"That's right, a gift!"
Ye Qiu smiled mysteriously.
Xiao Wu and her cultivation couldn't be hidden, so Ye Qiu didn't intend to conceal it at all. He said quite smugly, "Xiao Wu has already broken through to level forty!"
"Wh-what?!"
Tang San exclaimed in shock.
Even the others in the Seventh Dorm, who were watching the show, let out a series of gasps, staring at Xiao Wu in disbelief.
"How is this possible? Ye Qiu, are you sure you're not joking?"
Tang San's face was full of disbelief. He knew very well that Xiao Wu had only broken through level thirty-two not long ago!
He even suspected that Ye Qiu had lost his mind.
"Joking?"
Ye Qiu shook his head, chuckling, and reached out a hand towards Tang San, saying with a smile, "Xiao San, come and see my current cultivation level, then you'll know if I'm joking."
Tang San was taken aback, half-believing, and grasped Ye Qiu's wrist. He channeled the soul power cultivated from his Mysterious Heaven Skill into Ye Qiu's body.
A little soul power surged in, as if pebbles dropped into a lake.
Tang San's pupils suddenly dilated, and he was shocked. He looked at Ye Qiu as if he had seen a ghost. He could clearly feel that Ye Qiu's cultivation had already surpassed level thirty-five by a significant margin. He couldn't help but exclaim, "How can this be? In less than two months... How could you have broken through so much?!"
"Hehe." Ye Qiu subtly retracted his hand, straightening his back, "Of course, this has something to do with the gift I gave the little rabbit!"
As he spoke, Ye Qiu turned his head and smiled at Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu also returned a smile.
Gentle, infatuated, and able to evoke a hint of sweetness.
Although Ye Qiu didn't want her to say much at the moment, he was happy, and so was she. Just looking at Ye Qiu's smiling face made her very happy.
"In short, as long as Xiao Wu obtains her fourth soul ring tomorrow, she will be a Soul Master through and through!"
Speaking of which, Ye Qiu couldn't help but feel a little regretful. After Xiao Wu broke through to Soul Master, she wouldn't be able to enjoy the Spirit Hall's subsidies anymore, which meant a considerable loss of income.
However, it didn't matter much. If there was a real need, he could afford it, having hitched his wagon to the rich Dugu Yan! Moreover, Ma Xiunuo often slipped him some money.
Seeing Tang San's colorful expression, Ye Qiu was really tired of standing, so he pulled Xiao Wu to sit down on the edge of his bed.
"Ye Qiu, what exactly is that gift of yours? It's not at the cost of exhausting her potential, is it?! What will Xiao Wu do if there are any after-effects?!"
Tang San, who had finally calmed down, still wore an expression of shock, mixed with confusion and a touch of worry.
He had seen in his teacher's notes methods that could allow a Soul Master to gain such a rapid improvement within a short time. These were all methods used by those who had fallen, including, but not limited to, exhausting life force, exhausting potential, and harming living beings.
But the gift Ye Qiu gave could allow Xiao Wu to break through by at least eight levels in just one hour?! Even the methods of the fallen couldn't achieve such a feat!
Seeing Tang San rush in front of him, his face filled with concern, Xiao Wu frowned.
The Heartbroken Red held immense significance for her.
It was given to her by Ye Qiu, a token of their affection. Tang San's seemingly accusatory words made her very uncomfortable! She frowned. "Xiao San, what do you mean by 'overdrafting potential?' What are you talking about? How could Ye Qiu possibly harm me and give me something like that?!"
Tang San quickly explained. "Xiao Wu, that's not what I meant. I'm just worried about you both. I'm afraid something might go wrong with your bodies. It wouldn't be good if it delayed your future cultivation."
"Haha, alright."
Ye Qiu gently stroked Xiao Wu's back, calming her down. Then, he looked at the bewildered Tang San and said softly, "Xiao San, it's understandable that you would think that way. After all, our improvement has been a bit too unbelievable. But I can assure you, there's definitely nothing wrong with it."
"Why?" Tang San furrowed his brow, not understanding why Ye Qiu was so certain.
Ye Qiu rolled his eyes.
Why? I ate it myself, don't I know? Are we supposed to let you eat one so you can experience it? You'd be ecstatic!
Although Tang San could be annoying, Ye Qiu still maintained his patience. He tried his best to reassure him, remembering the scene where Dugu Bo wanted to kill him, a trace of fear couldn't help but appear on his face.
Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Because... this thing saved my life! It's something I obtained with great difficulty."
"Saved your life?"
Tang San was puzzled. What did any of this have to do with anything?
"That's right!" Under Xiao Wu's slightly bewildered gaze, Ye Qiu suddenly stood up, his hands clasped behind his back, and began to speak slowly. "As everyone knows, I, Ye Qiu, am still just a child! The dangers of being away from home are many, but I'd only just left Notting City when I encountered Bandits!"
"Bandits?"
The others in the dormitory all perked up their ears, listening intently.
Tang San watched the lingering fear on Ye Qiu's face, and with his understanding of human nature, it didn't seem to be an act!
He couldn't help but ask, "And then? What does this have to do with your rapid improvement in cultivation?"
"Of course, there's a connection!" Ye Qiu roared, his voice cold and filled with hatred and anger. Then, a hint of relief crept in as he fabricated, "In the days that followed, I was hunted and fell off a cliff, narrowly escaping death. That's when I obtained a miraculous skill... No, a miraculous medicine!"
"Miraculous medicine? Boss, that's it?"
Zhang Wei had come over at some point, his eyes wide with curiosity as he watched Ye Qiu, clearly engrossed in the story.
Ye Qiu glanced at Zhang Wei.
He then looked up, gazing at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle.
The anger on his face faded, replaced by a sigh and a smile, his voice tinged with a sense of world-weariness.
"Of course, it's not over. This is just the beginning of my legendary vacation."
His words fell.
叶秋 looked at Tang San with a serious expression, continuing his story, "At the bottom of the cliff, I found two glowing herbs. At that time, I was severely injured and on the verge of death. I had to gamble, it was a leap of faith! After risking it all and eating one of the herbs, not only did my injuries heal, but the remaining medicinal effects increased my cultivation to the thirty-eighth rank!"
叶秋 said this, and his face couldn't help but show a look of amazement, as if marveling at the power of the heavens and the earth.
"The heavens have been kind to me! Next, I met an old grandpa who was gathering herbs. I almost got captured to be used for alchemy. Fortunately, I relied on my charming personality and charmed the old grandpa's granddaughter, successfully surviving and gaining a fiancée and a fortune!"
"And the remaining divine herb, was also allowed to be brought back by my beautiful and kind fiancée, and that moody old grandpa, to make up for Xiao Wu's needs."
Hearing this.
Xiao Wu, who was pinching her thigh to stifle her laughter, immediately couldn't laugh anymore.
If that was really the case, she'd rather not have this Celestial Herb.
The Celestial Herb wasn't as important as 叶秋!
Xiao Wu snorted coldly, a hint of resentment and grievance appearing on her face, with a glimmer of tears welling up at the corners of her eyes.
This scene was caught perfectly by Tang San, who had turned his head. He knew Xiao Wu well; with her… well, with her personality, it was difficult for Xiao Wu to act so perfectly.
In his heart, he now believed a few parts of Ye Qiu's story.
At the very least, the matter of the divine medicine and the fiancée could be confirmed that Ye Qiu wasn't lying.
After all, in Tang San's previous life's world, there were all sorts of rare flowers and herbs. Douluo Continent wasn't worse than the Tang Sect's world; it wasn't strange to have some treasures.
