Chapter 716 Oh no, Qian Renxue is here!
"Brother Qifeng."
Upon hearing Ye Qifeng's gentle greeting, Meng Yiran's eyes welled up with tears that slid down her cheeks, but she couldn't contain her joy.
The fierce and jealous aura she had just displayed towards Huo Wu vanished instantly, replaced by an incredibly gentle and affectionate gaze as she looked at Ye Qifeng.
At this moment, she only had eyes for Ye Qifeng.
More than two years of longing have long since transformed into tenderness and affection.
Huo Wu stood to the side, watching Meng Yiran like this. Although she was unhappy, she didn't argue or fight with her anymore.
She had experienced this feeling before and could empathize with it.
Huo Wu couldn't help but recall what happened six or seven years ago.
When she first met Ye Qifeng, she fell hopelessly in love with him during the month she spent with him.
During the time when Ye Qifeng left without saying goodbye, she often lost her appetite and couldn't sleep at night because of the long-term longing. She was so immersed in love and loss that she could hardly control herself and almost went crazy.
If Ye Qifeng hadn't appeared in time, I probably would have gone crazy missing him.
Especially the moment when she reunited with Ye Qifeng, the excitement and joy she felt were absolutely the strongest, even far exceeding that of the person in front of her.
Although she didn't know what the girl in front of her, who called herself Meng Yiran, had been through, there was no doubt that she was a woman who valued relationships just like herself, and that she had also fallen deeply in love with Xiao Feng.
Hmph, since you're so much like me, I'll let you gloat for a bit. But don't get too cocky, Xiao Feng, I won't give him to you. He's my man.
Huo Wu thought to herself silently.
Seeing the tears streaming down Meng Yiran's face, Ye Qifeng couldn't help but feel a little touched. He wasn't stupid; of course, he could see the tender feelings in her eyes and knew that Meng Yiran had fallen in love with him.
The mere fact that the other party was vying for Huo Wu's attention just now is enough to explain everything.
With a sigh, Ye Qifeng stepped forward, walked to Meng Yiran, and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. At the same time, in a slightly teasing tone, he softly comforted her:
"Alright, stop crying. It's a rare day for us to reunite. You should be happy. Why are you such a crybaby? Where did that proud girl who used to hold a snake-head cane and challenge me to a duel go?"
Upon hearing this, the girl, whose eyes were brimming with tears and on the verge of sobbing, instantly burst into laughter. She felt a mix of embarrassment, sweetness, and relief.
I'm so glad that when I went to the Star Dou Great Forest with my grandparents to hunt for my third soul ring, I was lucky enough to meet Ye Qifeng.
If it weren't for that chance encounter and clash, there would have been no subsequent meeting, let alone today's reunion.
In truth, all my achievements today are thanks to Brother Ye Qifeng.
The miraculous medicinal herbs, the external soul bone, the evolution of the martial soul, the improvement of talent, the leap in cultivation—all of this is thanks to Brother Qifeng. If it weren't for him…
Such immense kindness is impossible to repay in this lifetime. After much thought, the only way I can repay it is by dedicating myself to it.
Anyway, I already belong to Brother Qifeng for the rest of my life.
No, not just this life, but the next life, and the life after that, and the life after that.
In any case, it will always be the same; no one can stop her from becoming his woman, no one can!
What Meng Yiran was thinking was unknown to others.
She blushed with embarrassment, while Huo Wu, Liu Erlong, Jiang Zhu, and the girls from the Spirit Hall's Second Team who had gathered around were all surprised after hearing Ye Qifeng's words.
Surprised that this girl in the blue-gray snakeskin dress was so brave, daring to challenge Ye Qifeng and even fight him?
Is it a case of ignorance breeds fearlessness, or is it simply that the other party is incredibly bold?
They all knew Ye Qifeng's strength; without the strength of a Title Douluo or higher, no one could contend with him.
These people are like ants in front of Ye Qifeng; he can suppress them with a wave of his hand.
Among all these people present, perhaps only Liu Erlong could rival Ye Qifeng.
It's easy to imagine that the opponent, who initiated the competition, was bound to suffer a crushing defeat.
Of course, Zhu Zhuqing was not among those who expressed surprise.
She was a witness to what happened back then, and she knew the ins and outs of it. She also knew that during the few days that Ye Qifeng disappeared, he was with Meng Yiran, and Meng Yiran benefited greatly from it.
"Let me introduce you to a friend."
Once Meng Yiran had calmed down, Ye Qifeng turned to look at Ruiwen and the others who had gathered around. As he spoke, he gently pushed Meng Yiran in front of them and whispered in her ear:
"Yiran, come on, say hello to everyone. These are all our people."
"Hmm." Meng Yiran was slightly taken aback, then nodded gently and looked up at everyone as Ye Qifeng instructed.
Only then did he realize that, apart from Ye Qifeng, the entire group of people present were stunningly beautiful, each with their own unique charm. Every single one of them was just as beautiful as he was, and some even surpassed him in looks.
Two of them even have figures that are ridiculously good.
This made Meng Yiran feel flustered and nervous. She felt inferior and inexplicably felt a strong sense of crisis.
"Hello everyone, my name is Meng Yiran. I come from the Dragon and Snake Mansion in Barak City, Barak Kingdom. My grandparents are Dragon Lord Meng Shu and Snake Lady Chao Tianxiang. I am the heir of the Dragon and Snake Mansion, but I have already joined the Spirit Hall."
With a mix of nervousness and excitement, Meng Yiran began to introduce herself.
However, he seemed a little nervous when he spoke, which made his voice sound stiff, weak, and stuttering.
Fortunately, everyone was a Soul Master with excellent hearing, so they were able to hear clearly what she was saying.
After listening to Meng Yiran's self-introduction, the beautiful women present all returned a warm smile.
Even Huo Wu, who had just exchanged words with the other party and was standing to the side pouting, managed a smile and nodded slightly.
Then, Ye Qifeng began to introduce everyone present to Meng Yiran, leading her first to Liu Erlong:
"This is Sister Erlong."
Liu Erlong first glanced at Ye Qifeng, her eyes filled with an inscrutable expression, before turning her gaze back to Meng Yiran, who was small in stature but full of wisdom.
A bright and beautiful smile appeared on her face, radiating maternal warmth, like that of a gentle and kind older sister.
Before Meng Yiran could greet him, Liu Erlong chuckled softly and greeted her first:
"Hello, little sister Yiran. I am Liu Erlong, Xiaofeng's older sister. You can call me 'older sister' just like Xiaofeng does."
"Hello, Sister Erlong."
Upon hearing that Liu Erlong was Ye Qifeng's older sister, Meng Yiran immediately bowed deeply, afraid that her greeting was too late and might displease the other party.
After all, the other party is Qifeng's older sister, and will be my sister in the future. Since she is my sister, it is not shameful to show her the greatest respect.
At this moment, she was completely different from the sharp-tongued woman she had been when she was arguing with Huo Wu. Instead, she appeared meek, cautious, and shy, like a demure young lady from a modest family.
After Meng Yiran and Liu Erlong exchanged greetings, Ye Qifeng then briefly introduced the other people to Meng Yiran.
"The lady next to me is Sister Erlong's disciple, Jiangzhu."
"Hello there."
"Hello there."
The two nodded to each other, but since they weren't very familiar with each other, a nod was enough.
"Then, this is Raven, this is Feng Xian, Ye Lan, Jin Yue'er, and this one, you've seen her before, her name is Zhu Zhuqing. These two are Bai Chenxiang and Xiao Mingyue. They are all members of my Spirit Hall's Second Team."
"Hello, Sister Yiran."
"Hello, Sister Yiran, it's nice to see you again."
"Hello, hello."
The girls in the second team were very curious about Meng Yiran, and they could see that she had a close relationship with Ye Qifeng. They greeted her and even affectionately called her "sister".
Meng Yiran nodded repeatedly, feeling a warm glow inside and a sense of intimacy welling up within her.
"The last one... cough cough, as you already know, is my girlfriend, Huo Wu, from the Huo family of Blazing City, and also the vice captain of the Blazing Academy team."
Finally, Ye Qifeng pointed to Huo Wu and introduced her with a slightly embarrassed expression.
"Uh, Fire Dance Sister, hello."
Seeing Huo Wu, Meng Yiran's expression froze for a moment, but in order not to embarrass Ye Qifeng, she still greeted Huo Wu gracefully, even addressing her as "sister" just like Raven and the others had done earlier.
"I've heard that Sister Huowu is a bit older than Brother Qifeng, and I'm a little younger than Brother Qifeng. So, I hope Sister Huowu won't mind if I call her 'Sister'?"
Huo Wu's eyebrows twitched slightly, feeling somewhat surprised. Although she wanted to give the other party a hard time, she gradually lost herself in the other party's sudden calls of "Sister Huo Wu".
She instinctively raised her chin, waved her hand, and said loudly:
"Oh, Yiran, you're too kind. Since we're both acquaintances of Xiaofeng, we should address each other as sisters and get along well in the future."
These words were spoken with utmost sincerity, as if she herself hadn't been the one arguing with Meng Yiran about love just moments before.
However, despite saying that, Huo Wu still regarded Meng Yiran as her rival in her heart.
The main reason was that the ice-attribute aura emanating from Meng Yiran clashed with the fire-attribute aura within her, making her want to oppose the other party.
Huo Wu was unaware that Meng Yiran's ice-attribute aura actually originated from the celestial herb Purple Ganoderma Snow Dragon's Roar given to her by Ye Qifeng, and was not something she was born with.
However, it is undeniable that this acquired extreme ice attribute is no weaker than the extreme fire on Huo Wu's body, and the fact that ice and fire are incompatible creates a naturally opposing stance between the two.
Moreover, Meng Yiran is not as close to Huo Wu as Shui Bing'er is, nor does she have a special connection with Huo Wu that allows them to understand each other's feelings.
In addition, because of Ye Qifeng, both of them wanted to possess this man.
Therefore, the moment they saw each other, they felt that the other person was not pleasing to the eye, and they started arguing and bickering as soon as they met.
…………
Just as Ye Qifeng finished introducing everyone to Meng Yiran, three uninvited guests arrived at the huge courtyard surrounded by more than ten barracks.
If the arrival of Huo Wu and Meng Yiran was something Ye Qifeng hadn't expected, then the arrival of the three people who followed them was even more unexpected.
Just as Ye Qifeng had managed to smooth over the conflict between Huo Wu and Meng Yiran, one of the three people who arrived next made him break out in a cold sweat again:
"Oh no, Xiaoxue'er is here too."
This person was none other than Qian Renxue, the young master of the Spirit Hall, who had been intimate with Ye Qifeng countless times.
Of course, Qian Renxue did not appear in her true form, but rather in the form of Xue Qinghe, the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, disguised as the Angelic Divine Armor Soul Bone, and came before Ye Qifeng and the others.
At this moment, Qian Renxue, uh, Xue Qinghe, was dressed in clean aristocratic clothes, without any particularly luxurious attire, and looked like an ordinary nobleman of little renown.
Aside from giving a refreshing feeling, it has nothing else special about it.
Especially compared to the two elderly men standing next to him, he seemed like a mere foil, hardly attracting attention.
If everyone present hadn't seen him before, they would never have guessed that this ordinary-looking young man was the noble Crown Prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire.
"Your Highness, what brings you here?"
Seeing Qian Renxue striding towards him, Ye Qifeng subconsciously asked a question.
"Having heard that His Highness the Holy Son has arrived at the hunting grounds, I, as the host, felt I should come and pay my respects as a gesture of hospitality."
Under the guise of Xue Qinghe, the Crown Prince of Tiandou, Qian Renxue walked with an elegant gait and extraordinary bearing into the courtyard. As she spoke gently, she glanced at the group of beautiful women gathered around Ye Qifeng.
When his gaze fell on Meng Yiran, he suddenly paused, his expression slightly taken aback. Hmm? A new face?
She has short, bluish-gray hair, a small face, big eyes, a delicate nose, a small mouth, and a short stature. She speaks profound truths and has a thin, long, floral snake-like pattern at the corner of her eye.

Hmm, is it Meng Yiran, the young lady of the Dragon Serpent Mansion in the Kingdom of Barak?
No wonder those two old folks, Dragon Lord Meng Shu and Snake Granny Chao Tian Xiang, were squatting outside the door and not coming in; it turns out they brought their granddaughter to Xiao Feng's place.
What are you trying to do? Steal my man?
Qian Renxue immediately recognized Meng Yiran's identity and, based on what she had just seen and heard, guessed the trickery involved.
On the surface, she remained gentle and refined, her expression unchanged, but beneath the disguise of her soul bone, her beautiful eyebrows were already raised high, and she was secretly gritting her teeth, venting her anger on Ye Qifeng:
"Well, you little rascal, isn't having me enough? You're always chasing after other women, aren't you? They've come knocking on your door."
Qian Renxue was aware of Meng Yiran's existence and also knew that she had feelings for Ye Qifeng.
When detailed information about Meng Yiran reached Bibi Dong, her grandfather Qian Daoliu, who was far away in Wuhun City, intercepted a copy and sent it to her.
Therefore, Qian Renxue actually knows Meng Yiran very well, even better than everyone else present, including Ye Qifeng.
