"Didn't you tell me to put you down yourself? And you were the one touching me all over. You foolish, rascally rabbit."
Ye Qiu dispelled his martial soul embodiment, squatted down, and looked at Xiao Wu. His face was full of innocence and accusation.
"I, I didn't touch you all over! I'm not stupid, it's you who's the rascal, kissing me."
Xiao Wu pouted, frowned, and pulled on Ye Qiu's collar, snuggling into his arms.
"Help me up quickly."
"Alright."
Ye Qiu smiled and nodded, then picked her up again, bridal style. As expected of the Soft Bone Rabbit, her body was incredibly soft, and she had a pleasant fragrance.
"I... I told you to help me up, not to hug me," Xiao Wu said shyly.
"Then I'll let go."
"No, don't let go!"
Xiao Wu immediately wrapped her arms around Ye Qiu's neck, afraid her rear would suffer again.
"You said it yourself."
Ye Qiu chuckled softly, looking at the little rabbit whose face still showed a hint of panic, her gentle appearance easily stirring a person's protective instincts.
Xiao Wu lowered her eyes and asked in a low voice, "Why... why are you looking at me like that?"
"What if I want to bite you again?"
Ye Qiu murmured softly, lowering his head and moving towards Xiao Wu's pretty face.
"What?! No way. Even though Sister Xiao Wu lost, you can't bully me like that! The other Sister Xiao Wus will be well-behaved. Just, don't kiss me anymore."
Xiao Wu bit her red lip, quickly raised her hand to push away Ye Qiu's face, and looked at him seriously, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Haha. Alright, alright, just kidding. Don't look at me like that, so pitiful. Don't worry, I won't bully you like that again."
Ye Qiu laughed and nodded.
There was still plenty of time. He wasn't in a hurry about this. As long as Xiao Wu didn't end up with Tang San, that was all that mattered.
The reason he secretly joined Spirit Hall was because he knew that to protect Xiao Wu, there would definitely be no friendly relationship with Tang Hao and his son.
As for why Tang Hao allowed him to get close to Xiao Wu, perhaps it was because he was confident in his own strength, or perhaps he was harboring some other sinister plan.
After receiving Ye Qiu's assurance, Xiao Wu felt a little more at ease. She obediently lay in Ye Qiu's arms, shyly gripping his shoulder.
Ye Qiu carried her gently towards the Seven Dorms.
"Say, Ye Qiu, how do you know my Soft Skills? You even know my Soul Skills!"
Xiao Wu looked at Ye Qiu in surprise.
"Hold my hand!" Ye Qiu didn't bother to explain much, wanting her to see for herself.
Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment, then intertwined her fingers with Ye Qiu's. Soon, Ye Qiu's memories flowed into her. After learning about Ye Qiu's ability, Xiao Wu stared blankly at him, unable to recover for a long time.
"What do you think? From now on, everything you know, I'll know too. You'll never be able to beat me." Ye Qiu looked at the dazed expression on Xiao Wu's face in his arms, feeling proud.
Hearing Ye Qiu's words, Xiao Wu's expression changed.
"Hmph! Fine, Xiao Wu, I won't let you copy my Soul Skills anymore."
Ye Qiu stopped walking, fixed his gaze on her, his expressionless face as calm as water. "You promised me that you'd listen to me in everything except when it comes to bullying you. Are you lying to me?"
"I... I'm not lying to you." Xiao Wu's eyes showed a hint of panic as she quickly said, "I'll cooperate with you."
"Really? That's good. Looks like I can eat you for the rest of my life with this secret." Ye Qiu smirked, gently kneading the small hand that Xiao Wu had placed in his palm, a hint of confidence on his face.
"For... for the rest of my life?!"
Xiao Wu's face turned panicked, wanting to pull her hand back, but Ye Qiu held onto it tightly. She could only look at Ye Qiu and grind her teeth.
Ye Qiu chuckled inwardly. Now Xiao Wu is really innocent and carefree. Besides the beastly nature she cultivated in the forest, she is still very likable.
This is pretty good. If Xiao Wu knew that her identity had long been exposed under the eyes of a Title Douluo, she probably wouldn't be so lively, would she?
Very quickly, Ye Qiu returned to the Seven Dorms, carrying Xiao Wu.
He saw that some people had already finished their cultivation and were getting ready for bed.
Xiao Wu also wanted to jump down from Ye Qiu's arms right away, but… Ye Qiu wouldn't let her.
"Ye Qiu, what happened to Xiao Wu?"
Tang San had also temporarily stopped his cultivation. Seeing Xiao Wu, flushed in Ye Qiu's arms, he felt a slight flutter in his heart; she was really quite lovely.
"Nothing much, she just fell down during the sparring."
Ye Qiu told the truth.
Xiao Wu buried her head in his chest; the meaningful gazes of the others made her feel a little overwhelmed.
"Ah~ Ye Qiu!"
Arriving at his bed, Ye Qiu gently tossed Xiao Wu onto his.
Xiao Wu rolled around on the bed a couple of times, her beautiful eyes filled with shyness and a hint of coquettishness as she glared at Ye Qiu.
Tang San watched this scene with a strange expression, wondering how Ye Qiu could be so rough with such a cute little girl. He thought he should be gentler!
"Ah~"
Ye Qiu ignored her, lying directly on his bed and letting out a comfortable groan before saying after a moment.
"What are you yelling about? I'm tired too, you know."
"Xiao Wu-jie didn't ask you to carry me!"
Xiao Wu's face flushed with anger, but she still maintained her big sister attitude, not wanting to lose face in front of her little brothers.
"Alright, you should go wash up again. Otherwise, you're not getting a blanket tonight," Ye Qiu said, turning to the side and propping his head up with one hand, gesturing dismissively at Xiao Wu.
"Fine, I'll go. Tomorrow, Sister Xiao Wu will buy a new blanket herself."
Xiao Wu had already registered as a Soul Master and received a Gold Soul Coin. She was a rich rabbit now.
"That's the best thing. Saves me from not sleeping well and being kicked awake by you in the middle of the night."
Ye Qiu waved his hand nonchalantly. Although cuddling with her was quite nice, soft and fragrant, who wouldn't like that? But he couldn't stand this rabbit always kicking in her sleep.
"You!"
Xiao Wu's face turned red, and she grumbled angrily.
"Then, I won't buy anything for you, Xiao Wu. I'll kick you to death tonight!"
After saying this, she stuck her tongue out at Ye Qiu and, picking up her clean clothes, walked out of the Seven Dorms.
Watching Xiao Wu leave with a cold snort, Ye Qiu stretched lazily. Lying on the bed, he pondered how to spend the next few years at Notting Academy.
When should he intercept the Celestial Herbs?
Who should he look for to practice his Soul Skills?
When would be the best time to report Tang Hao and his son without exposing Xiao Wu's identity to others?
Ye Qiu didn't want his first Soul Skill, his first target, to be ruined. He would be very heartbroken.
"Huh? Xiao San, what's wrong?" Ye Qiu looked at Tang San, who was walking towards him, with a puzzled expression.
Wishing everyone a happy life!
