Didn't you tell me to put you down? And you kept touching me all over. You stupid hooligan rabbit.
Ye Qiu dispelled his martial soul possession, squatted down, looked at Xiao Wu with a face full of innocence and accusation.
I... when did I touch you all over?! I'm not stupid, clearly you're the hooligan for kissing me.
Xiao Wu pouted and frowned, grabbing Ye Qiu's collar and leaning into his embrace.
"Help me up quickly."
"Alright."
Ye Qiu smiled and nodded, then picked her up by the waist again. As expected of the Soft Bone Rabbit, her body was incredibly soft and there was a pleasant fragrance.
"I... I told you to pull me up, not to carry me," Xiao Wu said shyly.
"Then I'll let go now."
"No, you're not allowed to let go!"
As soon as Xiao Wu heard this, she immediately wrapped her arms around Ye Qiu's neck, afraid that her bottom would suffer again.
"You said that yourself."
Ye Qiu chuckled softly, looking at the little rabbit who still had a trace of panic on her face and seemed a bit weak. It was very easy to evoke a desire to protect her.
Xiao Wu lowered her eyes and asked in a low voice, "W-why are you looking at me like that?"
"What should I do? I want to bite you again."
Ye Qiu murmured in a low voice, lowered his head, and moved closer to Xiao Wu's pretty face.
"What?! No... Although Sister Xiao Wu lost, you can't bully me like that! Sister Xiao Wu will be obedient about everything else... just no more kissing me."
Xiao Wu bit her red lip, quickly raised her hand to push Ye Qiu's face away, and looked at him seriously, tears almost forming into pearls in her eyes.
"Haha... Alright, alright, I was just teasing you. 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 a long time ahead, and he wasn't in a hurry. As long as Xiao Wu didn't get together with Tang San, it would be fine.
The reason he secretly joined the 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 would let him get close to Xiao Wu, perhaps he was confident in his own strength, or perhaps he was brewing some other sinister move.
After getting Ye Qiu's assurance, Xiao Wu felt a lot more at ease, obediently lying in Ye Qiu's arms and shyly grabbing Ye Qiu's shoulder.
Ye Qiu carried her and slowly walked towards the direction of Dormitory Seven.
"Speaking of which, Ye Qiu, how do you know my soft skills? You even know my spirit abilities."
Xiao Wu looked at Ye Qiu in surprise.
"Grab my hand!" Ye Qiu was too lazy to say more and just let her see for herself.
Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment, then intertwined her fingers with Ye Qiu's. Soon, Ye Qiu's memories flowed over, and after learning about Ye Qiu's ability, Xiao Wu stared at Ye Qiu blankly, unable to recover for a long time.
"How is it? From now on, whatever you know, I will know. You can never beat me," Ye Qiu looked at Xiao Wu's stunned appearance in his arms, feeling smug.
Hearing Ye Qiu's words, Xiao Wu's expression changed.
"Hmph! At worst, Sister Xiao Wu won't let you copy my spirit abilities in the future."
"You said before that you would listen to me about everything except bullying you. Are you lying to me?" Ye Qiu's steps paused, he looked at her fixedly, his face expressionless, and his eyes were as calm as still water.
"I... I didn't lie to you," a hint of panic appeared in Xiao Wu's eyes, and she quickly said, "I'll cooperate with you well..."
"Is that so? That's good... It seems I can hold this secret over you for a lifetime," Ye Qiu chuckled mischievously, holding the small hand Xiao Wu had placed in his palm, gently kneading it, a hint of confidence on his face.
"A... a lifetime?!"
Xiao Wu's face panicked, and she wanted to pull her hand away, but it was firmly held by Ye Qiu. She could only look at Ye Qiu and grind her teeth to herself.
Ye Qiu chuckled inwardly.
The current Xiao Wu was truly innocent and naive. Apart from the beastly nature she had developed in the forest, she was still very likable.
This was good. If Xiao Wu knew that her identity had long been exposed under the eyes of Title Douluo, she might not be so lively.
Soon, Ye Qiu carried Xiao Wu back to Dormitory Seven.
Seeing that some people had finished cultivating and were preparing to sleep.
Xiao Wu also quickly wanted to jump out of Ye Qiu's arms, but unfortunately... Ye Qiu wouldn't let her have her way.
"Ye Qiu, what's wrong with Xiao Wu?"
Tang San had also temporarily finished cultivating. Looking at Xiao Wu, who was being held in Ye Qiu's arms with a flushed face, he felt a slight ripple in his heart. She was truly adorable.
"Nothing, she just fell during our spar."
Ye Qiu told the truth.
Xiao Wu buried her head in his arms. The meaningful gazes of the others made her feel a bit overwhelmed.
"Ah~ Ye Qiu!"
Arriving at his bed, Ye Qiu gently tossed Xiao Wu onto the bed next to his.
Xiao Wu rolled twice on the bed, her beautiful eyes filled with shyness and timidity, and she glared at Ye Qiu.
Tang San looked at this scene and then at Ye Qiu strangely. How could he be so rough with such a cute little girl? He should handle her gently!
"Ah~"
Ye Qiu ignored her, directly lay on his bed, let out a comfortable sigh, and only spoke after a while.
"What are you yelling about? I'm tired too, alright."
"Sister Xiao Wu didn't tell you to carry me!"
Xiao Wu's face turned red with anger, but she didn't forget to maintain her big sister persona. She couldn't lose face in front of her younger siblings.
"Alright, you'd better go wash up again, otherwise you won't be sleeping with a blanket tonight," Ye Qiu turned on his side, propped his head with one hand, looked at Xiao Wu, and waved his hand as if to shoo her away.
"I'll go, I'll go. Tomorrow, Sister Xiao Wu will go buy a new blanket herself."
Xiao Wu had already registered as a Spirit Master and received one gold spirit coin, so she was now a rich rabbit.
"That would be for the best. It saves me from always sleeping badly and being kicked awake by you in the middle of the night."
Ye Qiu waved his hand indifferently. Although it was quite nice to hold her, who wouldn't love someone so soft and fragrant? But he couldn't stand this rabbit constantly kicking.
"You!"
Xiao Wu's face turned red, and she muttered angrily.
"Then Sister Xiao Wu won't buy one, and I'll kick you to death tonight!"
After saying that, she made a face at Ye Qiu, picked up her change of clothes, and walked out of Dormitory Seven.
Looking at Xiao Wu who left with a cold snort, Ye Qiu stretched. He lay on the bed, thinking about how to spend the next few years at Nuoding Academy.
When should he intercept the immortal herbs?
Who should he find for his spirit abilities?
When would be a good time to report Tang Hao and his son without exposing Xiao Wu's identity to others?
Ye Qiu didn't want his first spirit ability, his first subject, to be ruined like this. He would be very heartbroken.
"Hmm? Little San, is something wrong?" Ye Qiu looked strangely at Tang San who was walking towards him.
