149: Chapter 149 Contract with Jing Yao, Spirit He Tu!

"Fine, then let's have some wine."

"Then I'll go cook, you just wait here."

After Jing Yao finished speaking, she went to cook.

A while later.

Ye Qing saw flames rising inside the kitchen.

Then, sounds of flustered activity drifted out.

Ye Qing went over and felt a bit helpless looking at Jing Yao's state.

This girl, her cooking skills really aren't great.

"Alright, you go out, leave the rest to me."

Ye Qing said.

Jing Yao: "..." What kind of tone is that? I'm actually quite capable!

This little dish is nothing at all; it's just that having you here today makes me a bit nervous.

Seeing that Jing Yao still wasn't moving, Ye Qing lowered his body and swept her up into a princess carry.

"Ah!"

Feeling her body lighten, Jing Yao's heart trembled violently.

This!

Feeling Ye Qing's broad chest and powerful arms.

Jing Yao's face flushed red, and in an instant, many scenes flooded her mind.

She hadn't even expected her first princess carry to happen like this.

While she was thinking, Jing Yao had already arrived outside and was placed on a chair by Ye Qing.

"You just stay here and wait obediently."

After speaking, Ye Qing turned and entered the kitchen, closing the door behind him.

A while later, dish after dish was brought to the table.

Looking at the dishes Ye Qing had made, judging by their color and aroma, they were indeed better than what she could make.

She poured the wine as well.

"Alright, the dishes are all here."

As Ye Qing placed the final dish on the table, Jing Yao looked at the spread; did Ye Qing really know how to do everything?

His cooking skills were this good too?

The look in her eyes as she gazed at Ye Qing began to shimmer with emotion.

"Eat up, let's start."

Ye Qing said, and the two of them began to eat.

Jing Yao tasted the food and nodded slightly; it was indeed better than what she made.

Sigh.

Originally, she had planned to cook for Ye Qing herself, but it had turned out like this; the intended Host had become the guest, and the guest had become the cook.

How could she justify this?

Forget it, she would just have to make sure the drinks were good.

"Come on, Ye Qing, let's have a toast. I just heard from a colleague today about you being attacked. Although I don't think I have the right to say this, you have so many powerful Artifact Spirits, yet you were still so reckless, charging in alone—it was too impulsive."

"Next time, you absolutely must not be so impulsive."

Saying this, Jing Yao downed the wine in her glass in one gulp.

Oh?!

Seeing Jing Yao being so straightforward, Ye Qing said, "Your alcohol tolerance is quite impressive, to down it like that."

"Nah, it's not that impressive."

As Jing Yao spoke, her heart was already blooming with joy; she had actually been complimented by Ye Qing.

However, she also felt a bit uneasy. After all, she had only ever had small sips before; she had never drunk like this, let alone with a man.

She hoped she wouldn't lose control later and do something.

Shaking those thoughts out of her head, the two of them began to clink glasses and drink.

Ye Qing initially thought Jing Yao could handle her liquor, but gradually, he realized he was wrong—wrong to an absurd degree!

This person.

Her tolerance seemed average; she was already showing signs of drunkenness.

Jing Yao moved her chair closer to Ye Qing and stared at him.

"What's wrong?" Ye Qing asked.

"Looking at a handsome guy, is that not allowed?"

After saying that, her hands began to get restless, her small hands touching Ye Qing's abdominal muscles.

Ye Qing: "..." ???

"Jing Yao, you are playing with fire."

After Ye Qing finished speaking, Jing Yao seemed to take it as a provocation and threw herself directly at Ye Qing.

Ye Qing: "..." Damn it!

Afterward, Ye Qing picked up Jing Yao and walked toward the room.

A while later.

Jing Yao felt a strange power enter her body.

"Accept it!"

Ye Qing's whisper reached her ears!

In her hazy state, Jing Yao accepted it.

[Congratulations to the Host for a successful Contract, obtaining the Rank 1 Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol skill. This is Jing Yao's Contract Talent! It can utilize the power of nature, elements such as Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, as well as energy in space to condense a Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol. The higher the Rank, the stronger the power of the Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol!]

Oh?

As expected, Jing Yao and Jing Yue are the Yin fish and Yang fish of the Yin and Yang symbol; their Contract Talents are both related to the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams.

However, now was not the time to think deeply about these things.

Ye Qing went to the window and pulled the curtains shut.

...

[Obtained God-Level Detection Skill! The current detectable range is a radius of one hundred kilometers!]

God-Level Detection?

Ye Qing looked at the description and then felt it out!

His power suddenly spread out!

In this instant, Ye Qing felt as if he had become an Incarnation of a Heavenly God overlooking the world!

Standing in the air, watching everything within this hundred-kilometer radius!

As long as Ye Qing wanted to know, he could investigate in detail!

Hiss!

Such a skill!

Even Ye Qing felt it was terrifying.

With this thing, as long as Ye Qing activated this God-Level Detection Skill, it would be equivalent to opening a Domain; every blade of grass and every tree within it would be under Ye Qing's control.

However.

This thing consumes quite a lot!

Ye Qing withdrew it.

Meanwhile.

Marquis Ling Feng's office.

Marquis Ling Feng stood up abruptly.

His eyes burned like torches as he scanned the surroundings.

Then, his expression showed confusion.

"What's wrong, Marquis Ling Feng?"

Before Li Xian, Wang Weidong was also startled.

He had just been discussing matters with Marquis Ling Feng, talking about the deployment situation of the entire Barrier, when Marquis Ling Feng suddenly stood up with such a look of facing a formidable enemy.

Anyone who didn't know better would have thought another World-Overturning Level Beast Tide had arrived!

"It's nothing. I just felt very strange a moment ago; I had a feeling that I was being watched by someone!"

"Like needles on my back!"

"But, I just checked carefully, and it disappeared again. I don't know what happened." Li Xian spoke and slowly sat back down, his expression still full of doubt. "Could it be that I really sensed it wrong?"

Opposite him, Wang Weidong didn't dare to speak; after all, he hadn't felt anything just now.

Of course, he couldn't just tell Li Xian that he was wrong.

After all, there was a chasm-like gap between the two of them.

"Alright, continue." Li Xian paused, sensed his surroundings again, and confirmed that the feeling from before was gone, then told Wang Weidong to continue.

On the other side, inside Jing Yao's room.

A light screen appeared before Ye Qing.

[Jing Yao has activated One Ancestral Return, the Ancestral Return is He Tu!]

He Tu!

Ye Qing hadn't expected that Jing Yao's first Ancestral Return would turn out to be He Tu!

One must know, in legends, He Tu is the origin of Huaxia; He Tu is the origin of Huaxia's Eight Trigrams and Talismans. It could be said that it possesses immense power!

As Ye Qing thought about this, he felt that his connection with the world had become even closer.

It was as if every blade of grass and every tree around him could be used by him.
