"Don't call me Little Rabbit!"
Xiao Wu tossed off Ye Qiu's hand, her little face scrunched up as she retreated a few steps, creating some safe distance between them.
"Alright! I won't call you that then, but are you coming or not?"
Ye Qiu shrugged.
He just thought that teasing this pink rabbit and seeing her adorable little expressions was quite fun.
"Are you serious?"
Xiao Wu patted her little butt, blinking her panda eyes suspiciously at Ye Qiu.
"Of course it's true!"
Ye Qiu nodded, his expression serious.
Having sold candy for two years, he had a small amount of savings. He figured he could easily buy a couple of ordinary bed sets outright.
He also wanted to take advantage of this outing to test with Xiao Wu. He wanted to see how much the boost would be after he wrapped her, and if any other abilities would manifest.
Seeing that Xiao Wu was still considering it, Ye Qiu didn't have much patience to wait.
He turned, grabbed his small cloth bundle, and asked Wang Sheng where in the city he could buy bedding. Then, he headed for the door.
"Hurry up and follow!"
It was only when Ye Qiu's voice came from outside the door that Xiao Wu snapped out of her thoughts.
Xiao Wu finally reacted, grabbing her pink little satchel and hurrying out, her steps quick.
But her running movements were a bit strange.
"Hey, slow down, it hurts."
Watching Ye Qiu's back, Xiao Wu frowned, clutching her butt and lower back, and quickly followed.
"Hey! Wait for Sister Xiao Wu!"
After a while, Xiao Wu finally caught up with Ye Qiu's pace and unceremoniously grabbed Ye Qiu's arm.
"My name isn't 'hey'!"
"Slurp～"
Ye Qiu rolled his eyes and made a slurping sound, a lollipop in his mouth.
"Hey, you... didn't you just say that was the last one? You tricked Xiao Wu Jie!"
Xiao Wu looked at the candy in Ye Qiu's mouth, her appetite surging, and her pink lips couldn't help but twitch.
Ye Qiu glanced at her, ignoring her.
"Ye Qiu! Xiao Wu Jie is talking to you!"
Xiao Wu frowned, raising her voice; she wasn't in a good mood.
"How did I trick you? I said the carrot flavor was the last one, and this one is the grass flavor!"
Ye Qiu explained as he spoke.
Ye Qiu pulled the green lollipop from his mouth and held it up in front of Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu's eyes followed the candy, then she patiently pleaded, "It doesn't have to be carrot flavored. Xiao Wu doesn't mind! Can you give me another one?"
"Sure."
"Really? Then hurry, hurry, put it in! Ah~"
Hearing Ye Qiu agree, Xiao Wu immediately beamed. Her red lips parted slightly, her mouth opening as she waited for Ye Qiu to put the candy in.
But Ye Qiu shook his head, explaining under her slightly disappointed gaze, "I can give it to you, but not now. If you cooperate with me later, I'll give you one."
"Can't you give it to me now?"
Xiao Wu grabbed Ye Qiu's arm and playfully swayed it, her pink rabbit lips slightly pouting, looking like a delicious pudding.
"No!"
Ye Qiu resolutely refused, then looked down at her small hand tightly gripping his, giving her an annoyed look.
"Why are you always grabbing me?"
"I... I'm still in pain, this makes it easier."
Xiao Wu explained, her face looking uncomfortable. Then she remembered that this guy in front of her was the one responsible for making her butt hurt, and she couldn't help but snort. "Hmph, it's all your fault!"
"Haha..."
Ye Qiu gave a sheepish smile.
This was indeed the truth; he'd hit her, so he should help her.
He didn't have many good qualities, except for being frugal and responsible.
Even though she was very close, this distance was nothing compared to how he would later transform into venom and envelop her tightly.
The two of them walked out of the academy shoulder to shoulder.
Xiao Wu kept her head turned to the side, looking at Ye Qiu as if he were her lover, or rather, looking at the things Ye Qiu was talking about.
Ye Qiu also occasionally said some suggestive things, calling out "Little Rabbit" a couple of times. It was really interesting to see the expressions constantly changing on Xiao Wu's pretty face.
Pink and tender.
Before they had gone very far, 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 that this was his Spider-Sense giving him a warning.
At this moment, he had completely moved out of Tang Hao's line of sight, which carried a faint sense of pressure.
...
Shadows concealed a figure beneath the dormitory building.
Underneath a black bamboo hat, a disheveled face with a thick beard was visible. The burly figure was clad in dirty, moldy, coarse linen clothes.
This person was none other than Tang Hao!
Watching Xiao Wu and Ye Qiu's backs as they walked away,
Tang Hao's expression remained unchanged, but a glint of light flashed in his lifeless eyes.
He hadn't expected his luck to be so good.
He'd actually encountered a 100,000 Year Soul Beast that had taken human form, and it happened to be classmates with his son, what a coincidence.
Tang Hao wasn't worried about this Soul Beast.
At first, he'd hoped it could get involved somehow with his precious son, just like he had with Ah Yin, making things easier later on.
But after seeing Xiao Wu and Ye Qiu together, he changed his mind.
His goal was never just a 100,000 Year Soul Ring. It was to revive the Clear Sky Sect! If possible, Tang Hao didn't want his son to develop real feelings, leading to a life of guilt and regret, just like his own.
Even if he obtained a 100,000 Year Soul Ring, he'd still be a useless waste, just like himself! But things were different now. If it got together with that Ye Qiu kid, things would be much easier to manipulate.
Control Ye Qiu, force the sacrifice, then eliminate the root of the problem!
Tang Hao stood there for a long time, until the figures of Ye Qiu and Xiao Wu disappeared from his sight.
Lost in thought, Tang Hao suddenly felt his mouth go dry. He glanced at the empty wine bottle in his hand, then at the direction Xiao Wu had gone before quietly leaving to steal more wine.
He'd already made up his mind.
Regardless of who Xiao Wu ended up with, this 100,000 Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone, he, Tang Hao, would reserve them in advance for his son!
The prerequisite was… That Soul Beast couldn't leave his sight!
When Ye Qiu and Tang San arrived at Notting Academy to register, it was already afternoon.
The sun was setting.
The sky had turned golden, and the western horizon resembled a gleaming golden sword, lying across the mountaintops.
Ye Qiu, carrying two new quilts, didn't look too happy as he slowly walked towards the dormitory.
Xiao Wu followed behind.
She was holding a large quilt.
At this moment, her eyes were still wet, and she walked with more awkwardness than before. Moreover, her right eye, which had previously been fine, now had dark circles.
She was now a veritable protected animal.
I wish everyone a happy life!
