Xiao Wu's mood had been quite good, but upon seeing the plate of rabbit meat, it immediately soured.
Several sauce-covered rabbit heads were facing Xiao Wu, making her blood pressure rise considerably.
She loudly questioned Tang San, "I'm asking you!"
"Where did these rabbits come from?" Xiao Wu stood with her hands on her hips, glaring fiercely at Tang San.
Tang San still didn't understand why Xiao Wu was acting this way and honestly replied, "I caught them with my sleeve arrows outside today; there were several in one litter! I personally skinned and bled them, so they must be fresh."
Ye Qiu covered his face from the side, feeling that something bad was about to happen.
As expected,
"Shut up! How dare you…" Xiao Wu had heard enough and didn't want to say anything more.
"Whoosh!" Xiao Wu swung her hair, and her scorpion braid wrapped around Tang San's neck.
"Xiao Wu? Ugh!" *Smack!*
Tang San, who was utterly confused, only felt himself being lifted high into the air before being heavily slammed onto the ground with a dull thud.
Xiao Wu then advanced, stepping on him.
"Hiss~ Xiao Wu…" He grimaced in pain, looking at her in confusion, wondering why she had suddenly attacked him.
Seeing this, Ye Qiu felt a chill in his heart. Luckily, he hadn't been thrown around like that when he stewed rabbit meat, or with his small frame, he wouldn't have been able to get out of bed for half a month.
"Xiao Wu, that's enough!" Seeing that she still wanted to strike, Ye Qiu quickly stopped her. If she caused a serious injury, his parents would come knocking.
He took Xiao Wu's hand, pulled her aside, and then turned back to help Tang San up.
"Tang San, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, cough cough! I'm fine…" Tang San clutched his chest, looking at Xiao Wu with lingering fear.
"Hmph! Xiao Wu Jie is furious!" Xiao Wu glared at Tang San, then glanced at the food box on the table, growing angrier the more she looked. "Wang Sheng! Wang Sheng? Wang Sheng!"
"Huh? Oh, Xiao Wu Jie, I'm here, I'm here." Wang Sheng, who had been stunned by Xiao Wu, finally came to his senses and scurried over to her.
"Does Xiao Wu Jie have any orders?"
"Take that box of cute little rabbits out and bury them!"
"Huh?" Wang Sheng was also confused. Cute? Shouldn't it be delicious?
"What do you mean, 'huh'? Go do it now!" Xiao Wu glared.
Wang Sheng didn't want to follow in Tang San's footsteps, so he nodded in agreement and took the food box, ready to leave.
Xiao Wu was worried. What if he got greedy with such cute little rabbits? She didn't forget to warn him. "Wang Sheng, if you dare to steal a bite, I'll beat you to death!"
"Understood, understood…" Wang Sheng ran out in a panic.
"You all remember this: if Xiao Wu Jie ever finds anyone daring to eat rabbit meat again, then get out of Dormitory Seven! Understand?"
"Understood!" The younger brothers said in unison.
Xiao Wu nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at Ye Qiu and the other person. "And you two!"
"Especially you! Tang San!" She raised her index finger, brought it close to his face, and pointed at him fiercely.
"Heh heh…" Ye Qiu rubbed his nose, giving a forced laugh. He didn't expect her to still remember something from so long ago.
But Tang San was different. Looking at Xiao Wu so close to him, seeing her flushed face and crimson eyes, he stood there in a daze.
"Especially me?" Tang San savored Xiao Wu's words. The confusion in his eyes disappeared, gradually brightening. Everything that had just happened seemed less important.
What was important was that he! Tang San! Was the most special existence in Xiao Wu's heart!
"I understand, Xiao Wu. I'll never eat rabbit meat again." After realizing this, he suddenly felt that the pain in his body wasn't so bad and immediately made a promise.
Beside him, Ye Qiu rubbed his reddened eyes beneath his black silk, feeling a slight sting. Hypnotizing Tang San with the two-hook Sharingan was quite strenuous.
Ye Qiu didn't do much else, just gave Tang San some psychological hints to make him ignore the changes that had occurred between him and Xiao Wu tonight.
Otherwise, if things continued like this, Tang San would soon make a move on Ye Qiu, right? The path to death was not a joke.
As for whether it would work, or how effective it would be, these were not within Ye Qiu's consideration or control. He needed to lie low; he needed time!
However, if Ye Qiu knew what Tang San was thinking, he would definitely exclaim, "As expected of Third Brother! Top-tier comprehension!"
Tonight's farce ended abruptly, and Dormitory Seven, as well as the entire Notting College, quieted down.
Moonlight streamed through the window. After beating up Tang San, Xiao Wu's anger had long dissipated.
By the moonlight, she looked at Ye Qiu, who was meditating cross-legged on the adjacent bed. Thinking of the things he had said, she suddenly felt that letting Ye Qiu eat rabbit meat a few times was no big deal. In the future,
If anything unexpected happened to her, this foolish Xiao Wu had already come to a realization!
Ye Qiu, who was cultivating, felt something. A red glow lit up in his eyes, and he looked towards Xiao Wu's side. The rabbit's head had already disappeared into the quilt the moment he opened his eyes.
...
Early the next morning, Ye Qiu still didn't go to class. Tang San, after a night of healing, was mostly recovered and still attentive, while Xiao Wu largely ignored him.
Ye Qiu arrived at the entrance of the Spirit Hall sub-branch, holding paper and a pen, his Sharingan already quietly activated.
The drawing on the paper was precisely the wonder chrysanthemum on the temple gate. With the enhancement of Ye Qiu's Sharingan, it was drawn remarkably lifelike.
He then wrote above it, "Immortal Herb, Wonder Chrysanthemum, consumption grants an indestructible body."
Afterward, he drew a tulip from a flower shop, writing beside it, "Immortal Herb, qiluo tulip, consumption grants…"
He also drew various other flowers, mixing true ones with false ones.
This was his lead to obtaining Immortal Herb information. It just depended on whether Tang San would take the bait. However, Ye Qiu felt it would be tough. Since ancient times, heroes have struggled with beauties, and he couldn't even be called a hero!
That evening, Ye Qiu gave the items to Xiao Wu.
"Xiao Qiu, what are these? They're drawn quite nicely!" Xiao Wu sat on the edge of the bed, swinging her feet, seriously flipping through the small booklet Ye Qiu gave her. "By the way, are these flowers and plants really as magical as Xiao Qiu wrote?"
"Some of the information here is true, some is false, but the true Immortal Herbs' effects are only stronger, not weaker, than what I wrote!"
Ye Qiu was well aware of the value of these Immortal Herbs. It was no exaggeration to say they were the foundation for the Shrek Seven Devils' path to godhood!
"Then, is the Yearning Heartbroken Red written here real or fake?" Xiao Wu stared intently at the page with Yearning Heartbroken Red written on it, savoring the story written above, then looked expectantly at Ye Qiu.
"That one is real! But I don't know what it specifically looks like…" Ye Qiu paused as he spoke.
"Is that so~" Xiao Wu's tone was slightly disappointed.
"However, Tang San knows!"
"Tang San knows?" Xiao Wu seemed to somewhat understand what kind of help Ye Qiu needed from her.
"Mm, Tang San knows a lot of specific information about Immortal Herbs. The favor I need you to do is to extract that information from him." Ye Qiu nodded, explaining truthfully.
"Alright! No problem!" As expected, it was exactly as she had guessed. Xiao Wu agreed immediately. Although she wondered where Xiao Qiu got the information, it didn't matter; she trusted him!
"Xiao Wu, if things go smoothly in the future, I will…"
Ye Qiu's voice was interrupted by Xiao Wu's call. She knew what he was going to say, but none of that mattered. Xiao Qiu was her favorite; that was just a flower.
"Xiao Qiu~"
"Hmm? Mmm…"
Ye Qiu looked at the rogue Xiao Wu so close to him. Although this Xiao Wu didn't know what personal space was, her taste was really good—sweet and soft.
It was another day of waiting for the rabbit.
