"Don't call me little bunny!"
Xiao Wu threw off Ye Qiu's hand, her small face wrinkled, and she retreated a few steps, putting some safe distance between them.
"Alright! If you don't want me to call you that, I won't. But are you going or not?"
Ye Qiu shrugged.
He just found it quite amusing to tease this pink bunny and see her cute little expressions.
"Are you serious?"
Xiao Wu touched her little butt, blinked her panda eyes, and looked at Ye Qiu suspiciously.
"Of course I'm serious!"
Ye Qiu nodded with a serious expression.
After selling candy for two years, he still had a little bit of savings. He figured two ordinary quilts could be bought outright.
Also, he could take advantage of this trip out to test with Xiao Wu how much of a boost he would get after wrapping her, and if there would be any other abilities.
Seeing that Xiao Wu was still thinking.
Ye Qiu didn't have that much patience to wait for her.
He turned around, picked up his small cloth bundle, asked Wang Sheng where in the city they sold quilts, and then walked out the door.
"Hurry and follow!"
It wasn't until Ye Qiu's voice sounded from outside the door that Xiao Wu reacted.
She picked up her pink small satchel, took quick little steps, and rushed out.
Only, her running motion was a bit strange.
"Hey, slow down, it hurts..."
Looking at Ye Qiu's back, Xiao Wu wrinkled her small face, covering her butt and lower back, and quickly followed.
"Hey! Wait for Sister Xiao Wu!"
After a while, Xiao Wu finally caught up to Ye Qiu and unceremoniously grabbed his arm.
"I'm not 'Hey'!"
"Slurp~"
Ye Qiu rolled his eyes, slurped, and was sucking on a lollipop in his mouth.
"Hey, you... didn't you just say there was only one left? You lied to Sister Xiao Wu!"
Xiao Wu looked at the candy in Ye Qiu's mouth, her craving surging, and she couldn't help but wiggle her pink lips.
Ye Qiu glanced at her and ignored her.
"Ye Qiu... Sister Xiao Wu is talking to you!"
Xiao Wu wrinkled her small face and raised her voice, her mood not very pleasant.
"Where did I lie to you? What I just said was that there was only one carrot-flavored one left, and this one I have is grass-flavored!"
As Ye Qiu explained, he also pulled the green lollipop out of his mouth, held it in his hand, and shook it in front of Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu's eyes followed the candy, and then she patiently pleaded, "It's okay if it's not carrot-flavored, Sister Xiao Wu isn't picky... can you give me another one?"
"Okay..."
"Really? Then hurry, hurry, put it in... Ah~"
Hearing Ye Qiu agree, Xiao Wu immediately beamed with joy, her red lips slightly parted, her small mouth slightly open, waiting for Ye Qiu to put it in.
But Ye Qiu shook his head and explained under her somewhat disappointed gaze, "I can give it to you, but not now. If you cooperate well with me later, I'll give you one."
"Can't you give it to me beforehand?"
Xiao Wu grabbed Ye Qiu's arm, like she was acting spoiled, and swung it twice. Her pink, moist rabbit lips were also slightly pouting, looking like a delicious pudding.
"No!"
Ye Qiu flatly refused and then lowered his eyes to look at her small hand tightly gripping him. He gave her an annoyed look.
"Why are you still holding onto me?"
"I... I still hurt. This way it's easier."
Xiao Wu explained with a difficult expression, and then she remembered that the guy in front of her was the culprit who made her butt hurt, and she couldn't help but let out a cold snort.
"Hmph, it's all your fault!"
"Haha..."
Ye Qiu chuckled awkwardly.
This was indeed the truth. He was the one who hit her, so he should help her.
He didn't have many strengths, just being frugal and responsible.
Although she was very close, compared to when he would transform into venom and tightly wrap around her later, this distance was nothing.
The two walked out of the academy shoulder to shoulder.
Along the way, Xiao Wu kept her face turned, looking at Ye Qiu as if he were her lover, or perhaps... looking at the thing in Ye Qiu's mouth.
Ye Qiu also occasionally spoke his mind, calling her 'little bunny' a couple of times, watching the constantly changing expressions on Xiao Wu's pretty face. It was really interesting.
Pink and tender...
They hadn't walked far before the smile on Ye Qiu's face became even brighter, and the fine hairs that had slightly stood up on his body... had returned to normal.
Ye Qiu knew.
This was his spider sense giving him a warning.
At this moment, he had completely escaped Tang Hao's gaze, which carried a faint pressure.
...
In the shadows below the dormitory building, a figure was hidden.
Beneath the black bamboo hat was a messy, stubble-covered face. The sturdy body was clad in dirty, mildewed coarse linen clothes.
This person was Tang Hao!
Looking at the receding backs of Xiao Wu and Ye Qiu.
Tang Hao's expression was unperturbed, and a sharp glint flashed in his dead eyes.
He hadn't expected his luck to be so good.
He had actually encountered a hundred-thousand-year-old transformed soul beast again, and it had coincidentally become classmates with his good son.
Tang Hao wasn't worried about this soul beast.
At first, he had hoped that it could have something happen with his good son, just like he and Ah Yin did, to make things easier in the future.
But after seeing how Xiao Wu and Ye Qiu interacted, he changed his mind.
His goal had never been a hundred-thousand-year soul ring...
But to revitalize the Clear Sky Sect!
If possible, Tang Hao didn't want his son to fall in love and spend the rest of his life living in guilt and regret, like he did.
Even if he obtained a hundred-thousand-year soul ring like that, he would still be useless like himself!
But now it was different.
If it got together with that kid Ye Qiu, it would be even easier to scheme.
Control Ye Qiu, force the sacrifice, and then eliminate the root of the problem!
Tang Hao stood for a long time until Ye Qiu and Xiao Wu's backs disappeared from his sight.
The contemplative Tang Hao suddenly felt a little thirsty. He looked at the empty wine bottle in his hand, then looked again in the direction Xiao Wu had left, and then quietly left to steal some wine to drink.
He had already made up his mind.
No matter who Xiao Wu ended up with, he, Tang Hao, had already reserved this hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone for his son in advance!
The premise was...
That soul beast couldn't leave his sight!
...
When Ye Qiu and Tang San arrived at Nuoding Academy to report, it was already afternoon.
At this time, the sun was setting.
The sky had turned golden, and the western horizon was like a golden sword, stretching across the mountain peaks.
Ye Qiu was carrying two new quilts, his expression not very good, and he walked slowly towards the dormitory.
Xiao Wu followed behind him.
She was carrying a large quilt in her hands.
At this moment, her eyes were still wet, and she walked with more difficulty than before. Moreover, her right eye, which had been fine, now had dark circles under it.
She was already a protected animal in name and in reality.
