Extraordinary Demon King Soldier

At the moment he leapt onto the stone platform, Ye Qiu grabbed the two treasures on it.

"They really are good stuff!"

Ye Qiu's eyes lit up instantly.

Hoo——Hoo——

Two heavy breaths came from Baxia's offspring, who poked its head out of the turtle shell, eyes wide open, staring fiercely at Ye Qiu, wishing it could rush over and tear him apart.

"Get back in there!" Ye Qiu raised his fist, showing no respect to Baxia's offspring.

Roar!!!

Enraged, Baxia's offspring snorted white air from its nostrils, opened its bloody mouth towards Ye Qiu, let out two hisses, but helplessly shrank back.

It was furious, frustrated, and shocked!

More shocked than anything!

Baxia's offspring clearly remembered the first time it fought Ye Qiu. Back then, even though it couldn't easily defeat Ye Qiu, he had a hard time dealing with it.

But this time?

From the beginning of the encounter, Baxia's offspring suffered loss after loss.

Baxia's offspring had existed in this world for over a thousand years. Even though it lived underwater for a long time, it had encountered many powerful masters, even killed many top experts.

Yet, it had never met anyone with Ye Qiu's talent!

Absolutely extraordinary!

How little time had passed, yet he could crush me now?

Thinking this, Baxia's offspring hid in its shell, once again making sobbing sounds.

It cried once more.

Not because Ye Qiu made it cry, but because it watched Ye Qiu take away the two most important treasures without being able to do anything.

The treasures it guarded for hundreds of years were just taken away, how could it not cry!

While Baxia's offspring was heartbroken, Ye Qiu was thrilled. He opened the box and looked at the treasure inside, eyes nearly aflame with excitement.

The contents of the box weren't large, a palm-sized golden block, emitting a strong fragrance.

"Dragon's Saliva Fragrance, and it's top-grade too!"

Ye Qiu smiled brightly!

Normally, Dragon's Saliva Fragrance isn't particularly rare, rather a common medicinal item.

However, the Dragon's Saliva Fragrance in Ye Qiu's hand was not the ordinary kind.

This was real Dragon's Saliva Fragrance!

The kind only found in mythological stories!

Most importantly, looking at its quality, glistening golden, it was obvious it existed for many ages!

"With this Dragon's Saliva Fragrance, I should be able to research even stronger potions!"

Ye Qiu muttered to himself, then focused on the treasure in his other hand.

That nail-sized transparent spherical item!

"Judging by its appearance and the legends, although it's a bit small, it should still be a Dragon Pearl, right? But it's so small, what use could it have?" Ye Qiu whispered to himself.

Swoosh!

Just as Ye Qiu was puzzled, suddenly, a faint sound entered his ear.

Ye Qiu instinctively waved his hand, dispersing a blood droplet.

"Hooo..."

Seeing Ye Qiu react so quickly, Baxia's offspring could only let out an angry growl.

Ye Qiu's eyes lit up, "This old tortoise was actually trying to get the Dragon Pearl stained with blood? Haha…"

Without hesitation, he pricked his finger, allowing a drop of blood to drip onto the Dragon Pearl.

The next moment, the Dragon Pearl emitted a golden light, flashing and disappearing.

Simultaneously, Ye Qiu suddenly felt a peculiar sensation within his body.

This made him ecstatic, "It's indeed good stuff, after dropping blood onto it, I can sense the location of the Dragon Pearl. In crucial moments, it'll be invaluable for tracking enemies."

"This operation has truly had great gains!"

Ye Qiu was in high spirits, glanced deeply at Baxia's offspring, and turned to walk out of the palace.

At the palace entrance, Ye Qiu halted his steps, chuckled, "Old tortoise, your place is quite nice. Rest assured, if I have the time, I'll visit you again."

The moment the words fell, Baxia's offspring extended its limbs from the shell and began pounding the ground wildly.

A couple of seconds later…

With a boom, the entire palace collapsed completely.

The message was clear, even if you want to come again, there's no chance!

...

Upon securing the two treasures, Ye Qiu soon returned to the shore.

Soon after, Miao Feng and a few students crowded around him.

"Brother Ye, today we really want to thank you. If you hadn't come, we would've surely been killed by Baxia's offspring."

"Thank you, you're our lifesaver!"

"Brother Ye, you're truly amazing, so cool! During the battle with Baxia's offspring, you were like a Celestial God descended to the earth."

The students gathered around Ye Qiu, full of gratitude and admiration.

He Fan, however, didn't join in, but hid under a big tree, trembling, not daring to look at Ye Qiu.

"Brother Ye." Miao Feng embraced Ye Qiu's arm, her little face blushing red, smiling as she said, "We discussed it earlier, we want to treat you to a late-night snack to thank you. I know you might not care about a meal, but I still hope you accept our goodwill."

"Since you say so, I'll accept it gladly." Ye Qiu smiled.

After battling Baxia's offspring, he was indeed a bit hungry.

The group descended the mountain.

Twenty minutes later, led by the students, Ye Qiu arrived at a barbecue stall not far from Jiangnan University.

"Brother Ye…" Miao Feng glanced at the not-so-attractive open-air barbecue stall, a bit embarrassed, "Actually, the barbecue here is quite tasty, many students from our school often come here to eat."

"Order whatever you like." Ye Qiu smiled faintly, not being a picky person.

After ordering, they waited awhile until the table was filled with all kinds of barbecue.

The students sat together around the table.

Miao Feng sat beside Ye Qiu.

"Brother Ye, we're really thankful to you today, you saved our lives, I'll toast to you."

"I also toast to Brother Ye!"

"I must apologize to Brother Ye, I shouldn't have underestimated and spoken badly about Brother Ye earlier today."

Several students held their cups up, expressing gratitude to Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu didn't pretend, and drank a few cups of wine straightforwardly.

Just as he was about to eat some barbecue, suddenly, a student stood up, excitedly shouted: "Miao Feng, we all toasted Brother Ye, you might not drink, but you must earnestly thank Brother Ye too."

"Yeah, you should properly thank Brother Ye!"

"I heard Brother Ye saved you twice, a meal isn't enough to repay that!"

"Exactly!"

The other students joined in the teasing.

"Ah?" Miao Feng was flustered, not knowing what to do for a moment, instinctively held Ye Qiu's hand, and nervously muttered, "Brother Ye, sorry, I… I can't drink."

"Then just use tea in place of wine." Ye Qiu casually suggested, giving Miao Feng a way out.

Yet, as soon as his words fell, a fragrant warm current rushed towards him!

Almost simultaneously, the students around exploded into commotion!
