"Just talk properly, stop kicking!" Ye Qiu frowned, covering his ears, opening his eyes to glare at Xiao Wu, then rolling over and closing his eyes again.
"Then hurry up and get up and pack your things!" Xiao Wu pouted, looking at Ye Qiu who had turned away, and reached out to pull at his clothes.
"I said... are you going home with me, or with Tang San?"
Ye Qiu rolled his eyes, turned his head back, and looked at Xiao Wu irritably.
Xiao Wu's body stiffened, her eyes flickered slightly, she withdrew her small hand, and said strangely, "Is there a difference? Aren't you two from the same village?"
Ye Qiu shrugged. "Of course there's a difference. If you want to go home with Tang San, I'll be unhappy."
Xiao Wu's face started to turn red, feeling a bit flustered, and she stammered, "Wh- who cares if you're happy or not? I'll be happy myself! Hmph!"
Looking at Xiao Wu's somewhat flustered appearance, Ye Qiu's face held a faint, not-quite-smiling expression.
It seemed the past year hadn't been wasted.
Ye Qiu slowly sat up, looked at his belongings, and spread his hands.
"I really don't have much to pack, just a few sets of clothes. How about you help me pack them?"
"What?! No way! I won't do it."
"If you're willing to do it, I can give you a candy, carrot-flavored. How about it?"
Ye Qiu extended his index finger and wiggled it in front of Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu's originally very resistant little face immediately softened.
"Really? You're not lying to me..."
Xiao Wu swallowed a little unspiritedly. Ever since she had to pay for them, she only got to eat them at the beginning of the month. When she bought too many, she couldn't control herself and would finish them quickly.
"How could I? When have I ever lied to you?" Ye Qiu said with a face full of sincerity.
"Haven't you bullied Sister Xiao Wu enough times?"
Xiao Wu rubbed her perky bottom with a red face. Although her soul power was only slightly lower than Ye Qiu's, Ye Qiu's strength was much greater than hers, and she was never his match when they fought.
"Who told you to always be disobedient? Besides, bullying you and lying to you are two different things, alright?" As Ye Qiu spoke, he reached out, wanting to pinch her pretty face which looked a little wronged.
But Xiao Wu dodged away, her beautiful, shy eyes glaring at him, her face serious, and she said in a sweet voice, "No pinching! That's extra!"
"Haha, alright."
Ye Qiu spread his hands helplessly, only able to say that he had set a bad example, and the little rabbit, in order to satisfy her craving, had also fallen into a money-grubbing state.
"Then hurry up and pack. I'll lie down for a bit longer." Casually giving instructions, Ye Qiu stood up, stretched, walked a few steps to Xiao Wu's bed, and lay down.
"Hmph! Always bossing Sister Xiao Wu around!" Looking at the lazy Ye Qiu, Xiao Wu snorted coldly, then obediently climbed onto Ye Qiu's bed and began to help him fold his clothes.
Looking at the relatively well-behaved Xiao Wu, Ye Qiu's face also showed a hint of ease.
In a year's time, he, who was originally at level twelve, was the fastest to break through to level seventeen. Even though Tang San was at level thirteen after getting his soul ring and had the Mysterious Heaven Skill, he gradually started to fall behind.
The wait was always long. Ye Qiu was waiting for Xiao Wu to break through to Soul Elder, or for his own soul skills to be enough to handle certain dangers before going to explore the Sunset Forest near Heaven Dou City.
Although teleportation had a distance limit, it was a life-saving tool, and Ye Qiu didn't dislike it.
At this speed, before graduating from Nuoding Academy, Ye Qiu could guarantee that his cultivation would exceed level thirty. It was also time to find a time, under the premise of guaranteed safety, to go out and explore...
While Ye Qiu was thinking, Xiao Wu had already helped him fold his clothes neatly. Clearly, it wasn't the first time she had done this kind of thing; she was quite skilled at it. She bounced twice and jumped to the side of the bed, pushing Ye Qiu a couple of times.
"Ye Qiu, I've already finished helping you. Hurry up and give it to me!"
"Is that so? Then you've worked hard."
Ye Qiu sat up and glanced at his bed. Even the quilt was folded neatly. It was indeed very tidy and pleasant to look at.
"Stop saying useless things! Hurry up and give Sister Xiao Wu her reward!" Xiao Wu smiled and held out her hand in front of Ye Qiu, wiggling her fingers.
"How about this? You owe me six silver soul coins. If you help me pack my things, I'll waive two of them. How about it? Am I generous enough!" Ye Qiu took the candy out of his mouth and looked at the charming girl in front of him, whose little face was already starting to contort, with a smile.
"How can you do that?!" Xiao Wu shouted sweetly, then grabbed Ye Qiu's arm and started to act spoiled again. "Ye Qiu~ Th- those silver soul coins, I'll return them to you when my allowance is issued."
Seeing that Ye Qiu was still unmoved and wanted to get away with it.
Xiao Wu showed her fierce side, gritting her teeth and saying, "Ye Qiu, you have to give Sister Xiao Wu a bite to eat today... Otherwise, I won't be finished with you... Ah! Woo~"
Looking at the aggressive Xiao Wu, Ye Qiu couldn't help but smile. He had no choice but to indulge her, putting the candy he was holding into her mouth, then turning sideways and walking away.
"Ah woo! Ptooey, ptooey!"
Xiao Wu whimpered twice, quickly took it out, turned her face and spat twice, her face flushed red.
Turning around to look at Ye Qiu, who had already returned to his own bed, she glared at him angrily. "Ye Qiu, why did you give Sister Xiao Wu something you've already eaten again..."
"Take it or leave it. If you don't want it, just throw it away. I've already waived two silver soul coins for you, what more do you want? You insatiable rabbit!" Ye Qiu put on a smug face, raised an eyebrow at Xiao Wu, and then lay down.
"Ah--!"
Hearing the word 'rabbit', Xiao Wu's emotions became a little agitated, and she directly threw the candy towards Ye Qiu.
"Ye Qiu, Sister Xiao Wu wants to duel you!"
Before she finished speaking,
Xiao Wu immediately bared her fangs and claws and pounced towards Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu was quick-witted, casually catching the 'hidden weapon' she threw, holding it in his mouth, freeing up his hands, and meeting the enraged Xiao Wu.
The others remaining in Dormitory Seven had long since become accustomed to this. Xiao Wu and Ye Qiu would have small conflicts every few days. If they didn't make a fuss for a day, they would instead feel a little uncomfortable.
Bang! Poof!
Slap! Slap! Slap!
"Ah!"
"Ah~ Stop, stop hitting! Sister Xiao Wu knows she was wrong... I surrender! Ah!"
A few muffled thuds of fists and feet colliding, a few consecutive crisp sounds, and then came the familiar screams and pleas for mercy from Sister Xiao Wu, which the residents of Dormitory Seven were all too familiar with.
After a while.
Ye Qiu dispelled his martial spirit possession, stood by the wall, and looked at the little rabbit stuck to the wall, slightly out of breath, his clothes neat and tidy.
Xiao Wu, on the other hand, was plastered to the wall by spider webs, her clothes disheveled, her two small hands raised and bound to the wall, slightly wriggling her hot little butt, tears still sparkling in the corners of her eyes, her face a mix of shyness, anger, and fear.
"Really, if I don't beat you for three days, you'll try to expose the roof tiles."
Ye Qiu wiped a non-existent sweat from his forehead, looking at this pink rabbit who would challenge him from time to time, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Who told you to always call me a rabbit!" Xiao Wu's somewhat wronged voice sounded.
Looking at Xiao Wu's face full of resentment, Ye Qiu, holding the candy in his mouth, reached out to put her down.
"No more hitting! Sister Xiao Wu has already surrendered..." Xiao Wu quickly struggled and begged for mercy, afraid that Ye Qiu would hit her again.
"If I want to keep hitting, can you stop me?" Ye Qiu sneered, putting the lollipop from earlier in front of Xiao Wu. "How about it? Do you want it or not?"
"Yes, I want it..."
Xiao Wu nodded repeatedly with a red face, sticking out her small, fragrant tongue, and shyly tried to lick the candy.
Ye Qiu rolled his eyes. Wouldn't it have been better to do this earlier? He pushed the candy forward in his hand.
"Ah woo!"
Xiao Wu choked, Ye Qiu had stuffed it in unexpectedly.
The black spider silk began to dissolve, and Xiao Wu landed on the ground again, habitually clinging to Ye Qiu, lowering her head, obediently licking the candy, not even looking up, and muttering, "Quick, ah~ Quick, heal Sister Xiao Wu."
"Okay!"
