Not far from where Duolisha and Chu Zhen were fighting, Ye Ming had returned at some unknown time.
Beside him, Nangong Qianyu watched the two of them fight with great interest. Such a battle scene allowed her to gain considerable insight, unlike Ye Ming's fights where the enemy was defeated in a single move.
"Young Master!"
Upon seeing Ye Ming, Duolisha's heart leaped with joy, and she flashed to his side.
"Not bad!"
Ye Ming looked at the golden light condensing in her hand and praised, "With the purity of your Origin of All Things, you should be able to step into the Rongwu Realm soon."
The Rongwu Realm was the most profound realm among the three realms of all things. The Origin of All Things was the key to entering this realm.
The so-called Origin of All Things was not a complex or mysterious thing.
To condense it, one only needed to continuously compress the Qi of All Things within their body until its purity reached an upper limit.
Once this standard was met, the Origin of All Things could be condensed.
With the Origin of All Things, the compatibility between the human body and heaven and earth would greatly increase. Therefore, after entering the Rongwu Realm, one could fuse with heaven and earth, thus reaching a state of selflessness.
"Compared to you, Young Master, reaching the Rongwu Realm is nothing to be proud of!" Duolisha lowered her head slightly, not feeling complacent.
Ye Ming was naturally pleased by this.
At this moment, Chu Zhen also noticed Ye Ming.
She naturally recognized the young man before her.
For some reason, the moment she saw Ye Ming, all of Chu Zhen's nerves became alert, as if she were facing a fierce beast.
Extremely dangerous!
"What is this Origin of All Things you speak of?"
Chu Zhen lowered her long sword naturally, showing no intention of continuing the fight.
"The Origin of All Things, with your current knowledge, you wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you!" Ye Ming chuckled. "So, this is not a question you should be asking!"
Not a question I should be asking?
Then, what should she ask?
"You should be asking what stimulated that Seven Star Inspector from before?"
Ye Ming's words seemed casual, but they made Chu Zhen's eyes instantly turn cold.
"What! Do you intend to attack me?"
Ye Ming crossed his arms, looking at her with a half-smile.
Chu Zhen stared intensely at Ye Ming. If looks could kill, Ye Ming would have died many times over.
*Whoosh!*
Chu Zhen took a deep breath, her chest heaving, and she managed to quell her anger with difficulty, saying coldly, "I don't want to know what stimulated him! I came here only to retrieve his sword."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ming looked at Duolisha beside him and asked, "Did you tell her what I asked you to say earlier?"
"Yes!"
Duolisha replied.
"Oh!"
"If you want the sword, have him come and get it himself!" Ye Ming's smile vanished, and his tone deepened. "If a sword cultivator has no courage to retrieve his own sword, then what right does he have to possess it?"
With that, Ye Ming turned and prepared to return to the villa with Nangong Qianyu.
Duolisha, however, did not follow. Instead, she walked towards the outside of the villa.
Chu Zhen watched their retreating figures, her grip tightening on her sword hilt.
After a few seconds of hesitation, she slowly relaxed her hand.
In the end, she still did not dare to attack.
"Oh! Right!"
At this moment, Ye Ming, who was about to enter the door, suddenly stopped. Without turning his head, Chu Zhen felt a chill originating from the depths of her soul.
"If you dare to trespass or spy on this place again, I will be displeased! And once I'm displeased..."
*Bang!*
"Ah!"
Chu Zhen couldn't even see how Ye Ming had made his move before she heard a piercing scream.
However, it was not her scream.
*Thud!*
When she turned her head, a blurry figure fell from a nearby tree, crashing straight to the ground.
Then, the person fainted.
On this figure, a silver and white uniform was still worn.
This was... the special uniform of a Seven Star Inspector.
Seeing this, Chu Zhen rushed over.
When she saw the person's face, she was dumbfounded.
This person was the Tianquan Inspector who had been secretly following her. His strength had already reached the Martial God realm, making him the chief among the Seven Stars.
Yet, such an existence had been knocked unconscious in a single move without him even realizing it.
Then, what level of strength did the attacker possess?
Thinking of this, Chu Zhen felt a chill run down her spine and quickly looked back in the direction Ye Ming had been.
But by this time, Ye Ming was nowhere to be seen.
...
"A Ming!"
As soon as they returned to the house, the first to greet Ye Ming was, of course, the adorable and well-behaved Xiao Ai'en.
Seeing the smile of this little angel, Ye Ming felt that the fatigue of the day had vanished like smoke.
However, Nangong Qianyu beside him instantly felt jealous. Her gaze towards Xiao Ai'en was filled with nothing but resentment.
"Hmph!"
Xiao Ai'en looked at Nangong Qianyu, who had turned her head away, and instantly understood.
Just as she was about to throw herself into Ye Ming's arms, she immediately changed direction and faced Nangong Qianyu with both hands outstretched, acting coyly, "Sister Qianyu! Hug!"
Nangong Qianyu lowered her head, looking at the blinking eyes and the small hands waving in the air.
It was over!
All her defenses crumbled to zero!
She quickly squatted down, burying her face in Xiao Ai'en's small face and nuzzling her. "Ahhh! How can Xiao Ai'en be so cute?"
Ye Ming looked at Nangong Qianyu, who was acting like a child, and felt quite helpless.
Since Xiao Ai'en was occupied by Nangong Qianyu, he could only turn his attention to Fang Junxue.
But with Nangong Qianyu still beside them, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous and could only sit obediently next to Fang Junxue.
"Three days from now, I'm afraid many people will come to watch!" Fang Junxue said calmly while peeling an apple for Ye Ming.
"Isn't that good?"
As Ye Ming took the apple, he intentionally or unintentionally tickled Fang Junxue's palm with his index finger. She trembled, almost dropping the apple.
"You..."
Fang Junxue glanced nervously at Nangong Qianyu. Seeing that her attention was entirely on Xiao Ai'en, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Behave yourself!" Fang Junxue shot Ye Ming a glare.
But such a warning had no effect on the thick-skinned Young Master Ye.
Therefore, in the subsequent conversation, Fang Junxue's hand would be touched, or her waist would be squeezed.
Even her thigh was slapped by a certain lecherous hand.
Despite this, she could only glare indignantly without daring to speak.
Finally, fearing that Ye Ming might do something more outrageous, Fang Junxue simply got up and left.
"Huh? What's wrong with Sister Junxue?"
Nangong Qianyu, holding Xiao Ai'en, walked over and sat beside Ye Ming.
"Uh! I don't know either!"
Ye Ming said, his eyes not blinking and his heart not skipping a beat.
Just as Nangong Qianyu was feeling confused, she suddenly felt her buttocks being pinched by someone.
"Ah!"
A shy exclamation escaped her involuntarily.
"Sister Qianyu! What's wrong?"
Xiao Ai'en widened her eyes, looking curious.
"I... I'm fine!"
Nangong Qianyu glanced at the person in question and said through gritted teeth.
"Oh!"
With Xiao Ai'en present, the actions of a certain beast became even bolder. A few minutes later, Nangong Qianyu felt like she was on fire.
She was almost too weak to hold Xiao Ai'en.
"Don't..."
Nangong Qianyu said weakly.
Fortunately, at this moment, the door suddenly opened.
"Xiao Ai'en! Doughnuts are here!"
