Chapter 36 The Harvest of Three Months
Chapter 36 The Harvest of Three Months
"Madam, you may dispense with the formalities..."
Qiu Hougong stood up and helped Ye Jiuge up. Then he took out a Nine-Gold Soul-Suppressing Fruit and placed it on the table, saying, "Although this fruit has a great amount of energy, it is very gentle. So there is nothing to be careful about. If Madam is alright, please take it with Miss as soon as possible."
"Yes, young master. But you..."
Ye Jiuge bowed respectfully to Qiu Hougong again, but before she could finish speaking, Qiu Hougong interrupted her, "Madam, you don't need to worry about me. Just go ahead."
"Yes."
Seeing Qiu Hougong's actions, Ye Jiuge had no choice but to follow Qiu Hougong's instructions and walk outside.
Four or five minutes later, Ye Jiuge led Ye Lingling, who already knew Qiu Hougong's intentions and true identity, into the room.
"Your subordinate Ye Lingling greets the young master."
Removing her veil, Ye Lingling bowed and greeted them.
"Miss Ye, no need for formalities..."
Qiu Hougong stepped forward to support Ye Lingling, "We can talk about other things later. Miss, please go with Madam to take care of the important matters first."
"Yes, young master. I'll take my daughter with me now."
Ye Jiuge stepped forward and said respectfully, and then the two walked towards the back room with Qiu Hougong's approval...
One hundred and fifty minutes later, Ye Jiuge and her daughter, who had changed their clothes, came out of the back room, looking as if they had just taken a shower.
"What a beautiful sight! This isn't a mother and daughter, they're clearly sisters..."
After thoroughly appreciating the sights, Qiu Hougong thought to himself, then asked, "How are you two feeling now?"
"Young Master, I feel very good. Thank you for your reward."
Ye Jiuge spoke with a mixture of respect and joy, the gloom that had been hanging over her heart completely dissipating at that moment.
"Madam, there's no need to be so agitated. After all, you two are already mine..."
Qiu Hougong smiled and waved his hand, then asked, "I wonder how your evolved martial souls—Nine Revolutions Sacred Snow Begonia and the previous Nine Heart Begonia—are different?"
"Reporting to Young Master, in addition to further enhancing the healing effect, our Nine Revolutions Sacred Snow Begonia also has an additional power amplification effect."
Ye Jiuge replied, her pretty face flushed.
"Power amplification? How much can it amplify?"
Qiu Hougong inquired, although he could find out through the system, but he still preferred the person involved to say it in person.
"Young Master, it is thirty percent."
Ye Jiuge replied.
"Oh, this 30% is a fixed value?"
Qiu Hougong nodded, then continued to ask.
"Yes, no matter how high the soul power increases, even if it reaches the level of a Title Douluo, the increase value will remain unchanged."
Ye Jiuge spoke truthfully, and Ye Lingling, standing beside her, also showed a look of shame.
"To have such ability is already excellent; you two need not concern yourselves with anything else..."
Qiu Hougong offered a word of comfort, then stood up and said, "It's getting late. Would you two do me the honor of joining me at a restaurant?"
"How could I dare disobey the young master's command? But..."
Ye Jiuge looked troubled.
"Madam, please don't worry, I'll take care of everything..."
Seeing Ye Jiuge's embarrassment, Qiu Hougong laughed and then led the two women outside...
Over the next three months, in addition to breaking through his own soul power level to level 93 and helping Liu Erlong disband Qiu Bai Academy, Qiu Hougong, who was shuttling back and forth between the Heaven Dou Empire and Wuhun City, not only successfully achieved several of his previously set goals, but also gained some unexpected rewards.
"Huff... I can't take it anymore... I can't take it anymore..."
In a luxurious courtyard specially built by Qiu Hougong in Tiandou City, Dugu Yan, her pretty face flushed, sat on the ground panting as she somewhat laboriously brushed her hair that was hanging by her eyes aside, saying, "Little brat, tell your sister the truth, have I bothered you in any way?"
"Huh? Sister Yan, what do you mean? You didn't bother me."
After stretching his shoulders slightly, Qiu Hougong smiled and looked at Dugu Yan.
After the two became acquainted, Dugu Yan was stunned for a few days after learning Qiu Hougong's real age, identity, and strength, before she slowly accepted the fact that she had a "monster" lover.
"Didn't bother you? Then what was the meaning of your tiger-like ferocity just now? Did you have to come and get me from tail to tail before you'd be satisfied?"
Dugu Yan rolled her eyes at Qiu Hougong, then spoke using the words she had learned from him.
"Hey, sister, you've misunderstood..."
Qiu Hougong came to Dugu Yan's side, put his arm around her slender waist and said, "That's because you're so skilled, I had to go all out."
"My skills are profound? Please, I've only just reached level 55. Level 55, how dare you, a level 93 Title Douluo, say that about me?"
Upon hearing Qiu Hougong say this, Dugu Yan suddenly mounted him and then gently tugged at Qiu Hougong's ear, saying something.
"Yes, yes, I was wrong, I was wrong. Sister, have mercy, sister, have mercy."
Qiu Hougong supported Dugu Yan's slender waist and begged for mercy.
"Hmph~ You brat. I'm ignoring you for now, I'm going to rest for a bit..."
Qiu Hougong begged for mercy. Dugu Yanjiao, who had been secretly rubbing Qiu Hougong's ears, snorted and then stood up with some difficulty. She said to Ye Lingling, who was helping Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, and Xue Wu recover their strength, "Lingling, come and help me heal. My legs are so sore."
"Okay, Yan Yan, I'm coming right now."
Ye Lingling responded and then walked towards Dugu Yan's direction.
"Miss Lingling, please treat me first. My lower back is a bit sore."
Seeing Ye Lingling walk towards Dugu Yan, Qiu Hougong immediately stood up and then immediately put his hands into two soft cushions that were about the same size as his hands and said.
"Little...Little Qiu, do you need treatment too?"
Ye Lingling said in a slightly trembling voice.
With Qiu Hougong's help, Ye Lingling's soul power level has now broken through to level 53. Her healing ability has not only astonished Qin Ming, her teacher, but has also made her a favorite in Qiu Hougong's harem.
"Lingling, go help Yanzi. Leave this naughty little brother to your older sister."
Huo Wu walked to Qiu Hou Gong's side, then reached out and grabbed Qiu Hou Gong's large hand, saying...
When Huo Wu first learned that Qiu Hou Gong was representing the Spirit Hall to subdue Blazing Academy and the Huo family, she initially felt some resistance towards him.
However, as Huo Wu got to know Qiu Hou Gong better, she was gradually attracted by his unique charm, and the two naturally came together.
"Sister Huowu, you haven't fully recovered yet, are you really sure you can handle this?"
Ye Lingling looked at Huo Wu, whose pretty face was slightly flushed and who had pushed Qiu Hougong to the ground, and asked her with concern.
Although Huo Wu's strength has reached level 53 with Qiu Hou Gong's help, her physical attributes are still not much worse than Dugu Yan's, who has evolved her martial soul into an eight-tailed purple-scaled python.
"It's... alright, Lingling, you go take care of Yanzi first, Bing'er and I will take care of her."
Her delicate body suddenly leaned back, and Huo Wu looked at Ye Lingling and said.
"Huowu is right. There are still the three of us sisters. Lingling, go help Yanzi."
"Yes, and so are we."
"Lingling, you should go quickly."
Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, and Xue Wu, who had recovered considerably, also came over and spoke.
"Okay, then be careful. Call me if you can't hold on any longer."
Seeing that the four women were determined to do so, Ye Lingling knew she couldn't persuade them, so she could only nod and then went to Dugu Yan's side to help her recover her strength.
"Now... it's our turn to have a good competition, you naughty little brother."
Bend down, Huo Wu looked at Qiu Hou Gong, who was smiling at her, and said that although Huo Wu couldn't beat Qiu Hou Gong, it didn't stop her from constantly challenging him.
"Alright, Sister Huowu. I want to see how long you can last this time."
Qiu Hougong naturally intended to indulge Huo Wu's playful yet inept behavior.
Forty minutes later, Qiu Hougong gently carried the unconscious Huo Wu to the bedside and handed her over to Ye Lingling to take care of. Then he turned to look at the three women, Shui Bing'er and the others, who were full of fighting spirit.
"Sisters, who wants to go first?"
Qiu Hougong looked at Shui Bing'er and the other two women and smiled.
To talk about Shui Bing'er and the others, we have to start from Qiu Hougong's second visit to Tianshui Academy.
When Qiu Hougong returned to Tianshui Academy for the second time and recruited him, the current members of the Tianshui team were all shocked upon hearing the news. However, apart from Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, and Xue Wu, the other four team members accepted the fact after a brief moment of shock. After all, they were just students, and they would graduate and leave after this Advanced Soul Master Competition, so the change of affiliation of Tianshui Academy did not affect them much.
The fact that it has little impact on them does not mean that it will have little impact on Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, who are from the main family of Tianshui Academy, and Xue Wu, who was adopted by Shui Yun, the dean of Tianshui Academy.
So in order to find out what happened, Shui Bing'er and the other two women tried to get close to Qiu Hougong. As time went on, all three women unknowingly fell into his trap.
"It's not about who came first, Little Qiu~"
Shui Yue'er stuck out her tongue at Qiu Hougong. Ever since she got together with Qiu Hougong, Shui Yue'er's soul power level has increased from level 38 to level 49, a rapid improvement.
"Oh? What does that mean?"
Qiu Hougong smiled and looked at Shui Yue'er.
"That's exactly what I mean, you little rascal."
Xue Wu smiled and then strode towards Qiu Hou Gong with her long, beautiful legs.
Unlike Shui Yue'er, Xue Wu's improvement speed was not as fast. However, this was because when she first started with Qiu Hou Gong, her soul power level had already reached level 44. Therefore, Xue Wu's improvement level was three levels less than Shui Yue'er's, reaching level 52.
"Oh, is that how it is?"
Qiu Hougong's lips curled up slightly, then he looked at Shui Bing'er in front of him and said, "Sister Bing'er, are you planning to watch the battle?"
"Watching? No, I don't have that habit."
Shui Bing'er winked at Qiu Hougong, then walked lightly to his side.
As the eldest sister of Shui Yue'er and Xue Wu, Shui Bing'er was not only the last one to be captured by Qiu Hou Gong, but her soul power level also improved considerably.
Now, her soul power level has increased from level 45 to level 56, and her combat strength ranks second among Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Shui Yue'er, and Xue Wu.
"I knew it, Sister Bing'er, you definitely wouldn't stand idly by."
Qiu Hougong smiled at the three women, and then...
That night, Qiu Hougong, who was still unharmed after fighting dozens of rounds, brought Dugu Yan and the other girls, whose strength had been somewhat restored by Ye Lingling, to the restaurant for dinner.
After the food was served, Qiu Hougong looked at the five women eating with different but all very graceful postures and said, "Sisters, there is something I would like to discuss with you."
"What's wrong, little brother?"
Dugu Yan took a bite of rice and asked.
"That's right, the Advanced Soul Master Competition is about to begin..."
Qiu Hougong reached out and removed the grain of rice from the corner of Dugu Yan's mouth, then said to the five women, "I would like to ask you not to represent your teams in the battle."
"Sure, I have no objection."
"Well, I have no objection either."
"Me even more so."
……
The five women each had their own reasons. Since they were all already family, it didn't matter who won or lost.
"Wait, I haven't finished speaking yet..."
Qiu Hougong gestured with one hand to signal the women to be quiet, then continued, "Besides what I just mentioned, I would also like to invite everyone to join the Martial Soul Academy team."
"Joining the Martial Soul Academy team? That's no problem, but besides the five of us, who are the other two? Who are they?"
Shui Bing'er spoke up.
"They are also your good sisters. I will introduce them to you tomorrow."
Qiu Hougong replied.
"Oh, that makes things easier..."
Shui Yue'er nodded after listening, then asked Qiu Hougong, "Little Qiu, who are those two sisters?"
"It'll be a secret for now. You'll find out the details tomorrow."
Qiu Hougong laughed, and then the group continued eating without saying anything more.
The next morning, Qiu Hougong, who hated that time was passing too quickly, sat up and then got dressed with the help of Dugu Yan and the other girls.
After leaving the gate, Qiu Hougong first led Dugu Yan and the other girls to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace to pick up Ning Rongrong and Xue Ke. After chatting briefly, Qiu Hougong led the seven girls and flew towards the direction of Wuhun City.
Back at the Spirit Hall, Qiu Hougong, who had brought Ning Rongrong and the other women back to his house, spoke with them for a while before getting up and heading towards the Papal Palace.
"Mother, I'm back."
Upon entering the Papal Palace, Qiu Hougong quickly stepped forward, embraced Bibi Dong, and said softly.
"Hmm, good boy..."
Bibi Dong gently patted Qiu Hougong's broad shoulder, then softly asked, "How long will you stay this time?"
"I can stay for a long time, until my mother gets annoyed with me."
Qiu Hougong joked.
"My child, how could your mother possibly be annoyed with you..."
Bibi Dong gently touched Qiu Hougong's handsome face, which was beyond words, and said softly, "After the Soul Master Competition ends, Mother plans to establish a Martial Soul Empire, and you will be the emperor, okay?"
