The call ended, and Ye Xiao immediately sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes slowly closing. The Nine Yang True Qi began to flow slowly through his body. Of course, what Ye Xiao was cultivating was not just Nine Yang True Qi, but also the inconceivable Mad God Skill. Whether he could defeat Xiong Daoliang in a life-and-death battle would now depend entirely on the Mad God Skill.

Ye Xiao was not new to practicing the Mad God Skill, so he quickly entered the state, with Nine Yang True Qi and the Mad God Skill continuously cultivating together.

The violent True Qi rampantly surged within Ye Xiao's body. If not for the protection of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, he might have really been in trouble.

Ye Xiao had a natural affinity for Martial Arts, so he found it easier to enter the Void State compared to others. Once in the Void State, time seemed to fly by for him. Consequently, before he knew it, it had turned dark. When Ye Xiao opened his eyes again, he discovered it was already 7:30 PM.

"Time flies so fast!" Ye Xiao murmured to himself.

Actually, if Ye Xiao had continued cultivating, he could have gone on for a long time, possibly even a day and a night. However, he had stopped cultivating because someone had knocked on his door.

Ye Xiao got out of bed, feeling a bit tired in his heart.

The door opened!

Standing at the door was Shen Qiuyu!

Upon seeing Ye Xiao, Shen Qiuyu was slightly startled.

Ye Xiao also noticed Shen Qiuyu's surprise and immediately asked with confusion, "What's wrong?"

Shen Qiuyu didn't respond but quickly picked up her mobile phone, using the screen as a mirror to show Ye Xiao his reflection.

Upon seeing himself, Ye Xiao couldn't help but smile wryly.

"I look so handsome!" Ye Xiao chuckled.

In the mirror, Ye Xiao's hair was blood-red, and even his eyes had tinges of red. If someone unaware of the situation saw him, they would probably be scared to death.

"Why is it so red this time?" Shen Qiuyu asked with some astonishment, gazing at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao touched his red hair and said, "I'm not sure. Maybe because I cultivated for a long time? I need to check with the Inner Strength to suppress the violent force of the Mad God Skill."

"Alright, dinner is ready downstairs, and we're just waiting for you," Shen Qiuyu said.

"I'll be down soon!" Ye Xiao said, turning back toward his room.

But at that moment, Shen Qiuyu suddenly said, "Yuyan has left!"

Ye Xiao, originally heading back into his room, paused. For some reason, the words 'Yuyan has left' brought a sense of loss to his heart.

"Well, if she's gone, then she's gone," Ye Xiao's voice was somewhat unnatural as he stepped into the room, but he forgot to close the door.

Taking the opportunity, Shen Qiuyu walked into Ye Xiao's room and promptly shut the door behind her.

"Ye Xiao, I know you are feeling reluctant, but you did the right thing!" Shen Qiuyu looked at him.

Ye Xiao sighed and laughingly said, "I think so too. Hehe, actually, I was thinking of letting you leave too."

"I will leave!" Shen Qiuyu seemed not as reluctant as Zhou Yuyan, but she sounded decisive.

Ye Xiao did not expect Shen Qiuyu to agree so readily and looked up at her.

Shen Qiuyu smiled at Ye Xiao and said, "I will definitely leave. But, before this battle for you is over, I won't leave. Even if it means being a burden, I want to be one this time."

"Miss Shen, what can I say!" Ye Xiao said with a bitter smile.

"There's nothing much to say, I've thought it over too. After this matter is resolved, I'll head back to Qiu Mountain to isolate myself," Shen Qiuyu said.

Upon hearing Shen Qiuyu's words, Ye Xiao curiously asked, "Why? After this, Minghai City should be safe, right?"

"Of course, I know it'll be safe. But following you, there's always a need to be ready to fight. As an older sister, my duty is to protect my younger brother; what kind of logic is it for the younger brother to always protect his elder sister?" Shen Qiuyu explained, "You are stronger than me because you have cultivated a mysterious Inner Strength. However, my Martial Arts talent is much stronger than yours, our master said so."

"Hehe, I believe that. But Miss Shen, if we win this battle, I really don't want you to leave me," Ye Xiao said somewhat coquettishly to Shen Qiuyu.

"I've already decided!" Shen Qiuyu was firm.

Hearing Shen Qiuyu say she had decided, it seemed she wouldn't change her mind. Ye Xiao replied, "Okay, since you've decided, I won't say more. But since I've agreed with you, you'll have to agree with me."

"What do you want?" Shen Qiuyu knew from Ye Xiao's words that it definitely wasn't anything good!

Ye Xiao immediately said with a grin, "Hehe, you know!"

"I... I need to go down. I came to call you for dinner; they'll be suspicious if I don't show up soon," Shen Qiuyu said, somewhat frantically, then hurriedly headed out.

But as she tried to leave, how could Ye Xiao let her go so easily? He chuckled, his body flickered, and the next second, he blocked Shen Qiuyu's path.

"Miss Shen, I suddenly really want to kiss you. Ah, I mean the familial kind of kiss, not the other kind," Ye Xiao said, even as he explained.

"However, the more he explained, the more Shen Qiuyu felt that Ye Xiao was just trying to take advantage of her. All this talk about this type of kiss or that type of kiss, in the end, isn't it all just kissing?"

"No way, you need to go cultivate your Inner Strength and change your hair back," said Shen Qiuyu, somewhat helplessly.

Ye Xiao burst into laughter, then Shen Qiuyu said, "Miss Shen, my hair is red, my eyes are red, so do I look like a demon to you?"

"Yes, you are a demon, a stinky demon!" Shen Qiuyu said, visibly annoyed.

Ye Xiao chuckled mischievously and said, "Stinky demon? Hehe, fine, this stinky demon wants to kiss this fragrant angel. Let's see if this fragrant angel can resist being dragged down to earth by such a stinky demon."

After saying this, he brazenly wrapped his arms around Shen Qiuyu and kissed her on her sweet lips.

Ye Xiao was shameless, forcibly kissing his senior sister. According to the rules of Qiu Mountain, this was definitely not proper, but when had Ye Xiao ever cared about properness?

"Wow, it really is fragrant!" Ye Xiao said proudly after the kiss.

Shen Qiuyu glared at Ye Xiao, seemingly upset by his actions.

Ye Xiao chuckled again and quickly squatted on the ground, grabbing his ears and looking up with a grin, "Sister, you were wrong, so punish me. But I'm willing to make the same mistake over and over again."

"You're asking for trouble!" Shen Qiuyu said, trying to remain serious, although she felt like laughing.

Ye Xiao shamelessly said, "Yes, I am asking to die. If dying means I can kiss you every year, every day, every minute, every second, then I'm willing to die!"

Listening to Ye Xiao, Shen Qiuyu blushed. What could she do with such a junior brother?

Shen Qiuyu gently smacked Ye Xiao on the head and scolded, "Not allowed in the future."

Then, Shen Qiuyu walked out.

Ye Xiao had a smug expression on his face. Not allowed? Whether it's allowed or not depends on my mood, doesn't it?

Ye Xiao once again circulated the Nine Yang True Qi in his room. This time, he focused on using the Nine Yang True Qi alone, and soon the violent force of the Mad God Skill was suppressed. Ye Xiao returned to his normal state.

As he went downstairs, almost everyone looked at him.

Ye Xiao looked towards Shen Qiuyu, perhaps due to what had just happened upstairs, which made Shen Qiuyu feel that Ye Xiao had a purpose in looking at her, so she quickly looked down.

With a slight smile, Ye Xiao then looked at Ling Shuya!

"Shuya, did you attend classes today?" Ye Xiao asked with a smile.

"I did," Ling Shuya replied.

"It was you who told Su Yun about what happened last night, right?" Ye Xiao asked as he walked down.

Ling Shuya said, "Yes, Sister Su called me. I didn't want to say anything initially, but no matter what I said, Sister Su wouldn't believe me. I had no choice but to tell the truth. Should be fine, right?"

"No problem!"

At that moment, Ling Hengyu looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Ye Xiao, the crises that were hiding near Minghai Academy and those from the past all disappeared after three o'clock this afternoon."

"Are you referring to the forces of Xiong Daoliang?" Ye Xiao asked, puzzled.

Ling Hengyu nodded.

Ye Xiao said, "Oh, it's fine. I sent him a message, and he won't be bothering the Ling family anymore."

"Oh?" Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Ling Hengyu was a bit surprised. After all, how could Xiong Daoliang suddenly withdraw all his people? And Ye Xiao claimed to have communicated with him.

Ye Xiao immediately chuckled and said, "Maybe he thinks I'm too handsome, and got a bit scared."

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, everyone stopped talking. Clearly, Ye Xiao's joke wasn't funny at all.

Everyone started eating dinner, exchanging casual chatter, mostly trivial matters. After the meal, Ye Xiao returned to his room, and Ling Hengyu followed him.
