Not just Qian Renxue, even Golden Crocodile Douluo and Dugu Bo were left utterly dumbfounded.
Jin Yue'er's ferocity had completely exceeded their expectations!
Simply using the word "wild" was no longer enough to describe her.
She was simply too brutal!
"Yue'er... Mmm!"
As the victim, Ye Tian reacted most quickly and immediately tried to push away the suddenly love-crazed Jin Yue'er.
But just as he began to push,
Jin Yue'er leaped into the air.
After performing a full split mid-air, her legs firmly locked around Ye Tian's waist!
She had transformed into a golden-armored octopus!
"Yue'er! You—you let him go right now!"
Qian Renxue finally snapped out of her daze and couldn't help but shout angrily.
Watching Jin Yue'er pressing down on Ye Tian like a female mantis devouring her prey, Qian Renxue hesitated no longer. Hardening her heart, three purple and one black Spirit Rings rapidly rose beneath her feet.
As the first Spirit Ring lit up!
Golden light already shimmered on Qian Renxue's hands. Despite her shock and fury, she maintained her rationality when facing her best friend.
Gnashing her silver teeth fiercely,
Instead of unleashing Angel Assault, she curled her fingers into claws, charged with the fire of angelic wrath, and grabbed for the back of Jin Yue'er's neck.
Even though Jin Yue'er's Martial Soul had evolved into the Golden Alligator King, without having obtained Spirit Rings, her cultivation remained stuck at level twenty. As a level forty-seven Soul Grandmaster, Qian Renxue completely overpowered Jin Yue'er in both Spirit Rings and Martial Soul. Dealing with Jin Yue'er was as easy as handling a chirping chick!
With just a casual grab, Qian Renxue directly cut off Jin Yue'er's airway.
"Ah!"
The pecking Jin Yue'er cried out in pain, her face rapidly turning red, finally halting her fierce assault on Ye Tian.
As Qian Renxue increased her pressure,
Jin Yue'er's legs immediately detached from Ye Tian's waist, stiffening straight in the air.
Due to sudden suffocation, she began rolling her eyes.
"Sister Xue— Uh! Ah!"
Before Jin Yue'er could say more, Qian Renxue gritted her teeth and twisted her body, executing an extremely graceful shoulder throw—directly slamming her golden-clad best friend into the ground.
"Ah—!"
Jin Yue'er screamed in shock, curling up into a golden hedgehog as she plowed a half-zhang-long trench before lying dazed and spread-eagled in the crater.
Ye Tian staggered a couple of steps before regaining his balance.
Tilting his head back to breathe the fresh air, he finally felt reborn.
His eyes held the lingering fear of someone who had just survived a nightmare...
He seemed to understand something.
Jin Yue'er's feelings for him didn't seem to be purely platonic friendship either.
Compared to Qian Renxue,
Jin Yue'er's confession was overwhelmingly intense, nearly suffocating him.
He felt no joy in his heart, only worry...
Ye Tian couldn't be sure whether reproductive isolation existed between him and Jin Yue'er!
"Xiao Tian!"
After elegantly yet forcefully throwing Jin Yue'er away, Qian Renxue spun in place without even bothering to check if Jin Yue'er had hit any rocks or whether the impact was fatal, urgently rushing toward Ye Tian.
"..."
Golden Crocodile Douluo rubbed his forehead in frustration, glancing at Jin Yue'er lying in the pit with her legs twitching. He silently crouched down and massaged her cramped calf, confirming her physical condition before instantly vanishing from the spot with a body flicker technique.
This kind of situation really wasn't appropriate for him to stick around.
He'd be better off going to Sunset Forest to see which Spirit Beasts would be suitable for Jin Yue'er.
He could just beat them half-dead and bring them back,
to serve as Jin Yue'er's second Spirit Ring absorption.
Dugu Bo and his son also very tacitly avoided looking in that direction.
At most, they silently marveled at Ye Tian's remarkable luck with women.
"Mmph!"
Before Ye Tian could even catch his breath properly, Qian Renxue immediately cupped his face, turning and examining it from various angles.
"Xiao Tian, are you... are you okay? You're not hurt, right?"
Qian Renxue's eyes were filled with sorrow.
Looking at Ye Tian's thoroughly disheveled face, her heart ached unbearably. Her little boyfriend hadn't even had time to warm up before being dirtied by that wretched woman!
And it felt like the contamination had seeped into his very soul, impossible to wash clean.
"Cough, cough..."
Ye Tian's breathing was still uneven, making him cough involuntarily.
"Xue Er, I'm fine. You should check on Yue'er first to see if she's okay."
As Ye Tian spoke,
he tried to remove Qian Renxue's hands from his face,
but just as he raised his hands, Qian Renxue's soft, jade-like hands released him and instead began using her sleeves to carefully wipe away the saliva from his face and the corners of his mouth.
"..."
For a moment, Ye Tian was mesmerized by the 'treasuring' look in Qian Renxue's eyes - the first time such an expression had ever appeared in his life.
"Pfft... Haha!From the pit about ten feet away came bursts of rapid laughter.
Jin Yue'er's brain had finally rebooted. Lying in the pit with her eyes curved like crescent moons, she wore a silly, delighted expression.
She had finally seized her opportunity and gotten what she wanted!
Giggling foolishly and feeling refreshed, Jin Yue'er raised her right hand and reported:
"I-I'm fine too!"
"Yue'er, how dare you say that?"
The more she wiped,
the more furious Qian Renxue became!
There were actually
teeth marks on Ye Tian's face!
Hearing Jin Yue'er's smug, unrestrained laughter nearly sent Qian Renxue into a rage.
Pressing herself against Ye Tian's chest,
she turned her head angrily to glare at the culprit who had driven her to distraction.
"Yue'er, you've gone too far!"
"!!!"
Jin Yue'er jumped at Qian Renxue's furious shout, her body trembling slightly.
She quickly sprang to her feet with a carp leap.
"Xue Er, calm down, calm down!"
Ye Tian hurriedly intervened, gently patting Qian Renxue's back in an attempt to soothe her anger.
While other men might feel somewhat proud seeing two girls fighting over them, Ye Tian felt no such satisfaction at this moment!
He definitely didn't want to experience any kind of hellish rivalry scenario.
In this world, 'woodcutters' could strike without breaking any laws!
Ye Tian also didn't want Qian Renxue and Jin Yue'er, such good sisters, to have a falling out because of him. That would only put him in an impossible position.
At their age, the most important thing was cultivation anyway～
Once he had sufficient strength,
they could quarrel as much as they wanted - he'd just suppress them all!
Any fights that started at the head of the bed would be resolved at the foot!
Those who didn't behave would get their bottoms spanked.
Ye Tian thought viciously to himself. Those who had forcibly embraced him, those who had forcibly kissed him - he would never forget them. They had all become catalysts for his determination to become stronger!
They had taught him a very profound lesson:
One must always rely on oneself!
"Xiao Tian, you... you're actually taking Yue'er's side?!"
Qian Renxue's sudden outburst made Ye Tian's expression instantly change.
"What? Where did that come from?"
"Then why are you telling me to calm down? If you're not letting me teach this wretched girl a lesson, does that mean you feel sorry for her even though she forced herself on you?"
Qian Renxue pointed at Jin Yue'er as she made her accusation.
"Aside from feeling sorry for myself, I don't feel sorry for anyone! I'm just worried it might affect your friendship!"
Ye Tian repeatedly protested his innocence.
Not to mention Jin Yue'er, even with Qian Renxue before she confessed her feelings, he had never entertained such thoughts. So how could there be any pity in this situation?
"Hmph!"
Hearing Ye Tian's words, Jin Yue'er curled her lips, completely ungrateful.
"I can handle this myself!"
Qian Renxue glanced back and glared at Jin Yue'er.
"In that case, Xiao Tian, just stay out of it! We'll handle matters between ourselves. You just focus on taking care of and protecting yourself!"
Hearing this, Jin Yue'er quickly chimed in: "Right, we'll solve our own problems!"
She didn't need Ye Tian to mediate. When it came to dealing with Sister Xue, she already had her own set of methods that worked perfectly!
Seeing the unquestionable determination on both Qian Renxue and Jin Yue'er's faces, Ye Tian sighed and could only nod in agreement.
"Fine, handle it yourselves..."
After speaking, Ye Tian helplessly retreated a few steps, hoping the conflict wouldn't spread to him.
Watching the two women confronting each other, Ye Tian couldn't understand what he had done to make them compete for his affection like this. He really hadn't done anything!
But what was even more troubling was that when Ye Tian thought about it, if he had to choose between the two women, he might be able to make a decision. However, if the question was framed differently - asking him to give up one of them - Ye Tian realized he actually couldn't choose!
Having thoughts of not wasting any rice - this was the most dangerous and difficult situation to handle...
Ye Tian immediately felt troubled by his own greed.
After a long moment, he silently cursed himself for being perverted, thinking about romance at a time like this.
Ye Tian shook his head and looked at the two women...
"Yue'er, don't you owe me an explanation? You clearly know, you clearly know about my feelings for Ye Tian?"
As Qian Renxue spoke, her anger gradually gave way to unease...
She was afraid Jin Yue'er would say something similar.
After all, didn't she also know about Yue'er's feelings for Ye Tian?
But Qian Renxue didn't understand Jin Yue'er's thoughts.
From beginning to end, Jin Yue'er never found any fault with Qian Renxue's actions.
She even felt that giving Ye Tian's first time to Qian Renxue was exactly what she should do.
"Ahaha..."
"Sister Xue, I just got too excited and couldn't control myself."
Jin Yue'er said with a playful smile, her face full of apology.
Then she solemnly raised her hand, holding up four fingers.
"I would never take Ye Tian away from you, really! Sister Xue, Yue'er promises you! If Yue'er takes him away from you, may she be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"
"Yue'er! You!"
Qian Renxue was bewildered, staring blankly at Jin Yue'er's serious and determined face.
The guilt in her heart grew increasingly stronger.
Mixed with a touch of pity...
She completely failed to notice the wordplay in Jin Yue'er's statement.
Seeing the guilt on Qian Renxue's face, Jin Yue'er felt secretly delighted!
She had never felt so clear-headed as she did now, with a sense that everything was under her control.
As she herself had said, she wasn't foolish—just too lazy to think that much. But now, facing this moment that concerned her lifelong happiness, it was time for her to start using her brain.
Her confident, composed, and serious demeanor made Ye Tian momentarily dazzled, giving him the feeling that Jin Yue'er had been possessed.
"Likewise!" Jin Yue'er's voice continued. Her pale golden eyes turned to Ye Tian as she raised her fist, her face full of threat, and declared solemnly, "In the future... if Ye Tian dares not to love Sister Xue, or plays with her and then discards her, Yue'er will break his legs and make him accompany Sister Xue in a wheelchair. Hehe, I'll help push it myself."
"?!" Hearing Jin Yue'er's words, Ye Tian was filled with astonishment. Wasn't it agreed that the two of them would settle it between themselves? Why was he being dragged into it again?
Ye Tian retorted irritably, "Push, push, push what? Push your head!"
"Push the wheelchair, of course!" Jin Yue'er laughed, swaying her waist and pushing her hands forward as if dancing. She glanced at Ye Tian's legs and said with a smile, "If I end up making you sit in a wheelchair, I'll take full responsibility. I'll push you, and we can travel over mountains and rivers with Sister Xue together."
"..." Ye Tian's lips twitched slightly.
Indeed, in this world where strength reigns supreme, without sufficient power, one can't even maintain initiative in love, let alone intimacy! He needed enough combat strength—to ensure his safety as a man!
"Yue'er, how can you think of Xiao Tian like that? I believe he isn't that kind of person. Even if such a situation arose, I wouldn't allow you to harm him." As she finished speaking, Qian Renxue glanced back at Ye Tian somewhat uncertainly. The moment their eyes met, she quickly averted hers as if electrified.
Searching her heart, if Ye Tian truly were to leave her, would she be willing to let him go? Qian Renxue wasn't sure—and to her surprise, she even found herself somewhat agreeing with Jin Yue'er's approach.
"!" Ye Tian suddenly shivered and looked around warily, finally fixing his gaze on Jin Yue'er. But Jin Yue'er just burst into laughter.
"Sister Xue, I was only joking! If it really came to breaking Ye Tian's legs, I wouldn't be able to do it."
"Hopefully that's the case~" Qian Renxue didn't dare to speak too loudly. Yue'er might truly be unable to do it, but if she herself were to harden her heart, Ye Tian wouldn't even get a wheelchair—he'd only be lying on the ice bed in the secret chamber, beneath her alone!
Qian Renxue took a deep breath, the anger on her face gone. Looking at Jin Yue'er, she sped forward and with a soft thud, embraced her, saying gently, "I'm sorry, Yue'er. I misunderstood you."
"It's alright, Sister Xue. We'll always be good sisters of one heart! You're the elder sister, and I'm the younger!" Jin Yue'er leaned on Qian Renxue's shoulder as she spoke, not forgetting to glance at Ye Tian and wink at him triumphantly, as if celebrating a victory.
"..." Ye Tian frowned, suddenly feeling that Jin Yue'er seemed rather cunning. Could it be that she had deceived Xue Er? Was that sense of danger he felt earlier coming from her?
"Yes, we'll always be good sisters." Qian Renxue agreed with a smile, not pondering the deeper implications.
Before the two women separated, Jin Yue'er eagerly brought up the old topic again, "By the way, Sister Xue, have you asked Ye Tian about that iron lump thing?"
"Not yet, what's wrong?"
Qian Renxue released Jin Yue'er, and the two girls had already returned to normal.
Jin Yue'er clung to Qian Renxue's arm, urging her coquettishly, "Then Sister Xue, quickly take it out and ask now. I want to hear it too."
"Alright, no problem!"
Qian Renxue immediately agreed with a smile. If Ye Tian hadn't been ignoring her, she would have asked long ago!
"What iron lump?"
Ye Tian stood nearby, confused.
It wasn't until he saw the large sniper rifle that Jin Yue'er had snatched from Qian Renxue's embrace that he suddenly understood.
Before he could figure out why his proud creation had ended up in Qian Renxue's hands, Jin Yue'er's questioning voice rang in his ears.
"Ye Tian, quickly tell us, how did you make this Fire Tipped Spear? Why did you drill such a large hole in it?"
With a whoosh, Jin Yue'er lifted the long spear and pointed the end with the iron tube toward Ye Tian's forehead.
"Holy shit!"
Ye Tian was greatly alarmed, swearing in fright as he hurriedly grabbed the barrel and pulled his precious spear back from Jin Yue'er's hands, clutching it tightly to his chest.
"Grandma, don't point the muzzle at me! If it fires, it could kill someone!"
