Luck—Chapter 2: Rogue Rabbit Loves to Imagine Wild Thoughts, Blind Douluo Appears
Hey, is Xiao Wu so obedient?
She must be pretending!
Qi Lin's mouth corners rose inexplicably. He walked forward and stretched out his hand to gently rub Xiao Wu's porcelain doll-like face.
"Hey, so cute!"
Looking at the harmonious scene of the two children, Xu Qian couldn't help but reveal a doting smile on her face.
Qi Tian narrowed his eyes with a smile.
Although the children of wealthy and aristocratic families are also very cute, they are still far inferior to Xiao Wu.
In the evening, the family ate in the hall, and the table was filled with a sumptuous dinner.
After asking Xiao Wu, Xu Qian specially prepared three dishes related to radish, which made Xiao Wu eat with great pleasure.
Qi Lin looked at Xiao Wu curiously and even put a piece of meat into her bowl.
It is said that rabbits are vegetarians, and he wanted to see if Xiao Wu would eat meat in addition to radishes.
As for the result?
Xiao Wu was stunned at first, turning her head to look at Qi Lin several times. She saw that he was smiling at her gently, giving off a sense of intimacy.
Xiao Wu muttered softly, only for herself to hear:
"What does he mean by this? Is he trying to pick me up?"
It can only be said that Xiao Wu is worthy of being a 100,000-year-old rogue rabbit—her thoughts are very "mature."
Of course, Xiao Wu finally ate the meat that Qi Lin had picked up.
"So they do eat meat!"
Qi Lin muttered quietly as well.
Xu Qian and Qi Tian exchanged glances, their faces filled with teasing smiles.
Halfway through the meal, Qi Tian suddenly said, "By the way, in a few days, the soul masters of the Spii Hall will go to the countryside to awaken the martial souls of the civilians."
"If you two awaken your soul power, I will send you to Nuoding Soul Master Academy."
Xiao Wu was touched when she heard this.
If she went to Nuoding Soul Master Academy, she would be able to better integrate into the human soul masters.
Qi Lin chewed a few times and swallowed his food, then curiously asked, "Is it still Sister Sisi who goes to the countryside to awaken the martial souls for our village this year?"
Sisi is a soul master affiliated with the Spirit Hall Branch of Nuoding City. Every year, she goes to the countryside to awaken the martial souls of ordinary civilians over six years old.
After meeting Qi Lin three years ago, she liked him very much. She had visited Qi Lin's home every New Year for the past three years.
Qi Tian said strangely, "Miss Sisi has been coming to our Luobo Village for several consecutive years, and this year is no exception."
Pausing, he asked curiously, "Why? Don't you want Miss Sisi to come? Don't you like her very much?"
Qi Lin shook his head and replied, "No, it's just that I heard there is a Master Su Yuntao in the Spirit Hall Branch of Nuoding City, so I want to meet him."*
It is said online that Su Yuntao is a blind Douluo. Now that he has traveled to the Douluo Continent, Qi Lin wanted to meet him.
Qi Tian shook his head with a smile. "Don't think about it. I heard that the area where the masters of the Spirit Hall go to awaken martial souls each year is fixed, and Master Su Yuntao isn't responsible for our area."
"It's okay, I'll just think about it!"
Qi Lin said indifferently, though he was secretly thinking—why would Master Su Yuntao come to Luobo Village?
His intuition told him the other party would come.
After dinner, Qi Tian and Xu Qian went to do their things, leaving only Qi Lin and Xiao Wu in the hall.
Xiao Wu wandered around like a curious child, looking left and right, her watery eyes full of wonder.
The hall contained very delicate wood carvings, plant and animal specimens, easels, drawing boards, and various strange musical instruments.
"Your house is so beautiful!" Xiao Wu blinked and said with a smile.
When she first transformed, Er Ming had also built her a wooden house.
It was ugly, not at all beautiful.
Qi Lin gave Xiao Wu a warm smile. "If you think it's beautiful, just stay here. You'll have something to eat."
Then Qi Lin suddenly remembered that Xiao Wu's mother seemed to have died in the original novel, and added softly: "Just treat my mother as your real mother. It's clear she liked you very much."
But when Xiao Wu heard Qi Lin's words, her expression seemed to be "as expected."
This human child wanted to seduce her.
It seemed that Sister Xiao Wu was still very attractive.
Xiao Wu thought proudly, 'Heh, I'm still very charming.'
Qi Lin was slightly stunned when he saw Xiao Wu's eyes suddenly go blank, yet she was still smiling.
No—was she so easily moved?
After a moment, Xiao Wu regained her composure and looked at Qi Lin with a puzzled expression, falling into deep thought again.
She was wondering whether Qi Lin wanted to pursue her and whether she should give him a chance.
If Qi Lin knew what Xiao Wu was thinking at this moment, he would probably only sigh in his heart.
Love Brain Continent, is so terrifying!
On the other hand, after this little episode, Xiao Wu remembered her desire to be the big sister.
She immediately proposed a contest: if she won, Qi Lin would have to call her Sister Xiao Wu in the future.
Qi Lin did not agree. He only agreed to play rock-paper-scissors with Xiao Wu for three rounds.
If Xiao Wu could win once, he would call her Sister Xiao Wu forever.
Seeing she had the advantage, Xiao Wu agreed decisively.
The result?
They played thirty rounds in a row, and Xiao Wu did not win a single one.
In the end, she could only reluctantly call Qi Lin brother.
There was no other way—she had cheated and played twenty-seven more rounds, but she still couldn't win.
However, Xiao Wu was very curious about Qi Lin's secret to winning and kept pestering him.
She wanted to know if there was some trick, and she didn't believe it was just luck, as Qi Lin claimed.
She was a smart rabbit—how could she be fooled so easily?
That night, Xu Qian prepared an empty room for Xiao Wu, but Xiao Wu insisted on sleeping with Qi Lin.
She was very persistent, so no matter how Xu Qian coaxed her, Xiao Wu refused to change her mind.
Finally, Xu Qian decided that since they were both children, Xiao Wu and Qi Lin should each have their room.
After making this decision, Xu Qian asked Qi Tian to move a small bed into Qi Lin's room.
The following days passed quickly, and before they knew it, the day of the martial soul awakening arrived.
Everyone in the village gathered in front of the house where the martial soul would be awakened.
Originally, the Spirit Hall for awakening martial souls was just a slightly larger room. Later, when Qi Lin's family became wealthy, they demolished that room and built a more magnificent stone hall.
After all, Qi Lin's family couldn't make it more grand and upscale than the Spirit Hall itself.
In the minds of Qi Tian and his wife, this was a sign of respect to the Spirit Hall.
As a holy place for soul masters, the Hall works tirelessly every year to awaken martial souls for common people. It's no exaggeration to say that it's a blessing for the villagers.
Qi Tian and his wife took Qi Lin and Xiao Wu to stand with the head of Luobo Village, standing in front of a group of children.
Today, a total of fifteen children of the appropriate age had gathered, each accompanied by a parent.
Since the Spirit Hall's masters hadn't arrived yet, everyone was greeting each other.
Among them, Qi Tian was the most proud.
Not only had he married a beautiful wife, but he also had a precious son.
The men in the village looked at him with envy and jealousy.
Soon, a tall, straight figure appeared from a distance.
When the figure approached, everyone was slightly stunned.
It was not Master Sisi from the Spirit Hall!
When Qi Tian saw the visitor, a strange look flickered across his face. Then, his gaze shifted to his son beside him.
Qi Lin noticed his father's gaze and spread his hands.
He looked at the visitor curiously.
The man was tall and handsome, dressed in a white suit with a black cloak behind him.
Kero, the village chief of Luobo Village, immediately greeted him respectfully: "Respected Master of Spirit Hall, I trouble you today."
Su Yuntao smiled faintly and nodded.
Then he stepped toward the crowd and announced loudly, "My name is Su Yuntao, and I am the patrol deacon of the Spirit Hall responsible for the awakening of martial souls in Luobo Village."
As he spoke, he pushed open the door to the Spirit Hall and stood at the entrance.
"Children, follow me into the hall, and don't make noise."
Kero also added: "Children, listen to Master Su Yuntao."
The children responded in unison and followed Su Yuntao into the hall.
Everyone else waited outside.
