CHAPTER 616: CHAPTER 485: GOT A NOSEBLEED

Despite knowing that with Ye Lingyue’s strength, there surely wouldn’t be a problem.

Still, Wu Zhong couldn’t control his legs and slipped away when Lan Cai’er and Yan Jiu were quarreling at their peak.

The air still carried the faint scent of that young lady.

It didn’t take much effort for Wu Zhong to find Ye Lingyue.

It turned out she was humming a song, washing fruits beside a pool, and not far from her feet, there was a simple fish basket.

All sorts of fresh fruits, plus a dozen live fish—Ye Lingyue seemed to have had quite the harvest.

Wu Zhong raised an eyebrow; he clearly remembered that the people of "Blood Drink" had been out for half the day and only found a few unripe, inedible fruits and some smelly Spiritual Beast Meat. How did his little woman find so much to eat?

Naturally, Wu Zhong didn’t know that Ye Lingyue had taken a detour to Hong Meng Heaven and carried out the food from there.

Perhaps it’s been over a decade since she was an abused fool, and upon awakening, she obtained a Cave Heaven like Hong Meng Heaven. Ye Lingyue’s taste had become quite picky.

The dry food she brought from Mercenary City made her want to vomit; especially since she had spent a large amount of energy as a Reconnaissance Soldier during the day, she didn’t want to abuse her little body anymore.

However, to avoid suspicion, she deliberately lingered and didn’t go back.

After washing the fruits clean, Ye Lingyue looked at the clear water, then at her sticky self.

That day, she had been busy scouting, and although Little Zhiyo was on guard ahead, she inevitably got all muddy.

Seeing that no one was around, Ye Lingyue quickly took off her clothes and jumped into the pool.

She didn’t notice that, in the nearby bushes, someone’s breathing suddenly became erratic.

The well-developed figure of the girl appeared before him; even though it was just a back, the back that he had shared the bed with for many days came to mind immediately, reminding him of her slender waist and beautiful curves.

Wu Zhong felt his nose heating up, as if something was flowing out.

Damn it... Wu Zhong covered his nose. He actually got a nosebleed from that woman’s back.

With an awkward lift of his head, Wu Zhong caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye of Little Zhiyo by the poolside. The little guy was holding a brightly colored fruit, munching on it happily with its watery big eyes unabashedly fixed on the girl swimming like a mermaid in the pool.

Wu Zhong hummed annoyedly and with a flick of his finger, before Little Zhiyo could react, it plunged into the pool, fruit and all, with a splash.

After hearing the sound, Ye Lingyue hurriedly turned around and saw Little Zhiyo sinking into the pool. She frantically rescued Little Zhiyo only to find that the little one was hit by a sleep acupoint.

Ye Lingyue became alert, looking around, she saw no trace of anyone.

After getting dressed, Ye Lingyue packed up the fruits, picked up the fish basket, and prepared to return to camp.

Ahead, there was the sound of voices.

Ye Lingyue looked in the direction.

In the forest bathed in the sunset’s afterglow, there were two figures.

One of them, with handsome eyebrows and eyes, stood there like an official... Err, I mean, a handsome dude from an ancient painting.

Even though Ye Lingyue had seen Bo Qing many times, she still habitually mistook him for a woman.

There’s just no helping it, growing up to be as heartless as Bo Qing, it would be a waste not to be a woman.

Ye Lingyue, among the people she knew, only Feng Xun could match up to Bo Qing, but Ye Lingyue would never regard Feng Xun as a woman, perhaps this was what they called a prejudgment.

As for the other person, it was someone Ye Lingyue had no fondness for, and that was her relative, Hong Yulang.

Ye Lingyue also found it strange, Bo Qing had clearly not taken Hong Yulang seriously back in the Taiyi Secret Realm, but now, Bo Qing and Hong Yulang seemed to be very close.

It was said that Hong Yulang even received an Earth-grade Spiritual Artifact from Bo Qing.

Hong Yulang had even specifically shown off in front of Ye Lingyue earlier. It’s just a pity that the ugly bow Ye Lingyue carried on her back was a Heaven Rank Weapon, so she couldn’t care less about Hong Yulang’s Earth-grade Spiritual Artifact.

But what were these two grown men doing here, straying from camp?

After the big homosexual pervert Xia Houhong, whenever Ye Lingyue saw two men getting too cozy, she couldn’t help but think the worst.

Ye Lingyue harbored suspicions but couldn’t exactly walk out, so she had no choice but to hide and eavesdrop.

"What did you call me out here for? Haven’t I already said, that Earth-grade Spiritual Artifact was compensation for these past days," Bo Qing said coldly, his eyes slightly upturned.

"Bo Qing, I like you. I don’t want any Earth-grade Spiritual Artifacts, I just want to be with you," an anxious Hong Yulang hurried forward, wanting to embrace Bo Qing.

He had taken a liking to Bo Qing back in the Taiyi Secret Realm, only at that time, he thought Bo Qing was a woman.

It wasn’t until he arrived at Mercenary City and met him again that Hong Yulang realized that Bo Qing was actually a man.

When Hong Yulang was friends with Xia Houhong, he was somewhat influenced by him, and they even had some intimate interactions, but Hong Yulang always thought he liked women, that his relations with Xia Houhong were just to ingratiate himself to Xia Houhong.

But when he met Bo Qing again, everything changed.

He liked Bo Qing, regardless of whether he was a man or a woman.

He thought Bo Qing liked him too.

Otherwise, why would Bo Qing let him join "Blood Drink," and why has he been looking after him these past few days?

But all this shattered early this morning.

Bo Qing told him he didn’t like him and that these past days he was close to him because he bore some resemblance to Hong Shisan.

Since being brought back from Yan City No.9, Bo Qing had also reflected – was he into men? Otherwise, why would be so indifferent to all the female mercenaries throwing themselves at him and the beauties from the Demon Sect.

Just when he finally discovered that he had a little feeling for women, he was horrified to find himself interested in the very ugly "Emperor’s Slaughter’s" Hei Yue.

After realizing his odd preferences, Bo Qing felt very troubled; pondering and meditating, he determined he must be missing Thirteen too much, which is why he became interested in an ugly woman who was somewhat similar to Hong Shisan.

And at this time, Hong Yulang came knocking, saying he liked him, and his looks, resembled Hong Shisan, just a tiny bit.

So Bo Qing made an immediate decision to try and get along with Hong Yulang.

But after more than ten days of effort, when Bo Qing was excited to find that he could forget about the little black girl from "Emperor’s Slaughter" this morning, he ran into the little black girl again, collapsing at the realization that, whenever the little black girl was around, his eyes would involuntarily follow her.

He clearly didn’t like Hong Yulang, and since that was the case, Bo Qing directly rejected him, and in a rare moment of conscience, gave him an Earth-grade Spiritual Artifact as "breakup compensation," leading to this evening’s scene.
